HIS SECOND CHOICE Third Wheel
Serena was so happy. The whole weekend she had been reminiscing the moments they had together. She had never imagined flyboarding would be such a thrilling experience. This weekend felt as long as a decade. Humming a tune to herself, she emptied her milk carton into the small bowl she had set outside her apartment for cats before skipping her way toward the bus stand. “Serena,” she smiled involuntarily when his deep voice hit her ears. Turning around, she found him coming towards her. Her heart swooned at his sight. He was looking nothing different- same thick glasses, loose clothes but still, he managed to send a nervous flutter through her poor heart. To her dismay though, he had put on his glasses. How she wished he hadn’t. She wanted to see his eyes without any barrier. “How was your weekend?” he asked as he came to a halt in front of her. Serena was not really an introvert girl but for some weird reason, her mind would shut down every time he asked her anything. She just fel
HIS SECOND CHOICE A New Side Of Him
The sun was pouring in through the window in heavy stream, keeping the room bright. Serena wasn’t able to focus on the lesson today, her eyes kept darting towards the door. The class was on for twenty minutes and he still had not come. Is he on leave today? Why though? He wasn’t the type to miss classes on a whim. Concern stirred within her. Is he okay? She promptly took out her phone and opened the messaging app. She typed him a message asking about his well-being. She pressed the send button and just then the wooden door creaked open. Her head snapped up towards it along with others. Her eyes flared out slightly when she saw him standing at the doorway. An unconscious smile crossed her lips. But then she frowned when she noticed he was wearing a hoodie on this scorching day. His head was downcast, hiding his face. The teacher asked him his reason for coming late and he responded with a vague answer. Thankfully, the teacher allowed him in with a warning as he was one of the brighte
HIS SECOND CHOICE Seeing Him Fighting
Serena was intrigued now. She wanted to see underground fighting. She had been researching it since he told her about it and she couldn’t help but be both thrilled and nervous about it. She had casually asked him if they had different names like fighters do. He told her that they do but didn’t disclose his name. She was smart enough to pick up all the clues he dropped inadvertently. With their help, she looked it up on the internet. She was amazed to know such illegal groups even had websites. How come cyber people are not taking heed of them. Looks like there was only one underground boxing group in their city. The time was 11 PM to 5 AM. She knew it could be dangerous. She was aware of all the risks involved. It was an illegal place which meant no guards. And still, she couldn’t shake off her curiosity. She wanted to see how such places work. She had always been a good girl playing by the book but once she wanted to do something wild. And her propeller was Asher. She wanted to see
HIS SECOND CHOICE Guilt
"What are you doing here?" Asher frowned at Shanice, clearly displeased. Shanice gave him a smile, "We came to see the fight. Had no idea you fight too. I am so glad I came here," she replied, smiling. "We?" Asher repeated in question, ignoring her compliment.Yeah. I and Serena," saying that she glanced around the hall for Serena. Serena was already coming towards them. Her features were strained and strides were hesitant. Asher's lips pressed into a thin line when he saw her."Hi," Serena timidly called to him. "The way you handled that man was very impressive. I assume you have been doing it for a long time," Shanice took over, sounding curious. "You should know better than to come here. This place isn't safe," his gaze darted between them as he spoke with a grate to his voice. Guilt immediately washed over Serena. Maybe, he was right. They shouldn't have come here. Look, he was mad at her now. "We can go anywhere we want. You have no right to impose your misogynist ideology o
HIS SECOND CHOICE Teasing Game
“You wanna hang out tonight?” Serena asked Shanice as they made their way out of the cafeteria. “Not today. I have plans. We can hang out tomorrow,” Shanice replied, sounding a little apologetic. “Ohh,” Serena answered, feeling a bit disappointed. But she chirped up quickly. “Where you going today?” Serena asked, curious. Shanice shot her a bright smile. Her eyes sparked with passion and Serena couldn’t help but admire how gorgeous she looked. She was an effortless beauty. She could walk around straight out of bed and she would still turn heads. “I have a date tonight,” she revealed, grinning wide. Her blond tendrils were bouncing with her steps. She was exuding an inimitable grace. Serena perked up. “Really? Who was going to tell me? Who is he? Do I know him?” Serena fired questions, all excited.“I’ll tell you everything when the time is right. For now, I can only say he is a charmer,” Shanice explained to her. Serena wanted to know more but she didn’t push further. She w
HIS SECOND CHOICE Toxic
“Hey,” Serena looked up from her book to see Henry hovering over her desk. Their classes were over and they were in the library. Henry and Serena shared Chemistry and English classes. Serena was one of the few students who treated him with kindness. As always, Serena was sitting in her usual spot. She was waiting for Asher as he was yet to come. “Hi,” she smiled up at him. She wasn’t surprised to see him in the library. He was one of the regulars. Henry's eyes flared out slightly before he reached up to scratch his brow. “Ummm…actually I am looking for a book but I can’t seem to find it. I was wondering if you could help me,” he asked shyly. Serena like the helping soul she was nodded immediately. She jumped up from her chair and followed him into the lane. Together, they started looking for the book. “This book is very important for preparation. Do read it,” Henry suggested to her as he glided his fingers across the books' spine. Selena paused and looked him over in confusion.
HIS SECOND CHOICE When He Turns Cold
Today was Amanda's birthday bash. Serena was at Shanice's place to get ready. Shanice had insisted she get ready with her. Serena didn't have the budget to buy expensive clothes for parties. So when Shanice told her she was going to get ready with her tonight, she didn't refuse. That's how it was. Shanice would take her to the place and lend her one of her branded clothes. Initially, Serena used to refuse but Shanice always waved her off saying we only live once and high school is all about making friends and having fun. And as Shanice was a determined soul, she wouldn't leave Serena alone until she listened to her. "This one? It will look amazing on you," Shanice pulled out another expensive dress from her closet and showed it to Serena. It was a grey floral dress with a pearl-adorned neckline. It was stunning but the neckline was too deep. Shanice figured it out from her expression and put the dress back in the closet. She took out another. It was a black bodycon dress- wide sho
HIS SECOND CHOICE His Anger
It was a typical high school party bursting with loud music and drugs. The guests were welcomed with a super pumped Amanda and Mollie so that they loose up and enjoy. Amanda's parents were out, leaving the entire mansion to her. These billionaire kids had everything one could fancy at their disposal except for their parents' time. Serena was a little different from them in this regard- she didn't have her parents' love and she also didn't have money to bear the trauma of it. Sad life. Shanice's parents too were mostly on trips but they would still take out time for Shanice whenever they could. Shanice's parents were the only parent figures Serena had. Serena didn't consume the drug as she had taken the morning shift tomorrow. Amanda strolled over to them and gave Shanice a tight hug."Only you can outshine me on my birthday," Amanda remarked, smiling. "God, Mandy.....have you seen yourself? You look fab, girl. No one can outshine you tonight," Shanice replied. Amanda laughed, proce
