Fractured

Ava’s POV “Concentrate, Ava,” a voice said in my head. I took out my little diary from my bag and started a sketch of Chris—my imaginary boyfriend. Someday, we’ll stroll the streets of Elitis High holding hands, I wrote beside the sketch. Kia and her friends barged in, snatching my diary and holding it up for the class to see. Kia knew her rival, so she vowed to frustrate me and make me tired of school. But I wasn’t giving up on Chris. “Hahaha, timid girl’s in love with somebody’s guy!” Kia mocked, earning laughter from the class. Liana and Bryan weren’t in yet to defend me. They were my mouthpiece, especially Liana. She was the opposite of me, an extrovert. She had been like a sister to me since I joined Elitis High. We lived on the same street, and I visited her anytime I liked; she did the same too. My eyes swelled. Kia grabbed my black hair and dragged me to the front of the class. “Let go of me,” I cried, trying to pull free from her grip. She shoved me to the ground as o

Ava’s POV I watched the video for the umpteenth time in my room at home. I noticed a lot about it, but the girl’s face wasn't clearly revealed. She only had Kia’s shape, skin color, and hair. I zoomed in, yet I still couldn’t get a clearer view of her face. If it wasn’t Kia, then why was Chris dumbfounded when she dared him to say the truth? My curiosity burned. Whatever it was, Chris was cheating on me, and I had clear evidence. I felt pained every time the memories of the sex we had in the hotel room flashed through my mind. I had given in so easily. Sex on a first date…that was so cheap! My phone buzzed, and I rushed to take it when I saw that the message was from Liana. “Hi, the video is fake! Kia wasn’t involved!” I squinted and read it again. I glanced up at the sender’s name. Yes, it was from Liana. I texted back. “What do you mean?” The message was delivered immediately. I waited for a moment, no reply. “Liana, can I come over to your place?” I texted again, my patience

Ava’s POV I sat under an oak tree, my eyes heavy from crying. It was break time and Liana stood beside me. “Ava, crying won’t change anything. The whole world has seen your nude, and Chris…” she paused, her voice tight. “I can’t believe he’s behind this!” I glanced up at her, teary-eyed. “I just feel like we shouldn’t let this go. Chris can’t hurt you like this and go scot-free. Ava, I’m willing to help you get back at him.” I nodded but couldn’t stop the tears. “I don’t think I can,” I whispered. “I can’t, Liana.” “What do you mean? There’s nothing anyone can…” she trailed off. Her eyes locked on a figure walking toward us. “Ava, Chris is coming,” she murmured, barely audible, trying not to look his way. I turned sharply. Yes, Chris was approaching, holding a bunch of roses. “Just stay calm. He might not be coming for you.” I counted his steps in my mind and stopped when he halted in front of us. His face was full of remorse, his eyes shifting between the two of us. “Ava, pl

Ava’s POV After taking my bath, I picked up my phone, and my aunt wasn't in yet so I could leave without having to answer a ton of questions. I shut the door and walked towards the main road, soon the house was behind me. My dress was a beautiful red gown, one that earned me admirable glances and amazing compliments. My hair also did justice to my look as I had my hair tied up in a ponytail, one of my favorite hairstyles. As I arrived at the hotel, I texted Chris on W******p to let him know I had arrived, but he didn’t reply, so I called his phone. He picked up immediately but didn’t say anything. Just as I was about to speak, the soft moan of a woman’s voice sprang from the speaker. She kept pleading with him to go gently on her, saying his manhood was too big for her. My head spun. I removed the phone from my ear briefly to confirm the caller’s name again…yes it was ‘my smile’, the name I had used in saving Chris’s number. I placed it back to my ear, and Chris’s voice came throu

Tessa’s POV It’s been five weeks since I joined Elitis High, and I’ve been seeing Chris jump around with a commoner, a girl who cannot stand next to me. Since I arrived, many relationships have seen their end because the guys wanted me. I knew I messed up back then at Toland High, but now I was ready to take back what I discarded. At Elitis High, Chris was the hottest, and I was only good at going for the best, someone who matched my standards and prestige. I didn’t want to show that Ava girl the other side of me, but I would if she didn’t leave Chris for me. I opened my Wh*tsApp and rewatched the sex video Chris had with Ava. My mind boiled again. Ava was eating him raw, the manhood that was meant for me alone. My chest rose, and I swallowed hard. I called Chris’s phone and he answered on the second ring. “Yes? How may I help you?” he asked, a pinch of mockery in his tone. It was the first time I was calling him since we broke up. “I just wanted to…” I trailed off and clea
