View MoreKeisha's POVPaul and my mom were already sitting in front of Mr Hawkins when we got there. The tension between both parents made me swallowed as I stood behind my mom. When she sighted my rough hair, she frowned but held my hand and rubbed slow circles on it as if to assure me that everything would be alright. My mom explained the situation to the principal who gave me an apologetic look after the whole story. "Ms. Peterson, I'm really sorry that you had to go through all that. And I assure you that immediate actions will be taken concerning this matter." He said to me before turning to Phoebe. He gave her a look before shaking his head."I've always known you to be a responsible student, I really don't understand why you would do something like that to a fellow student. I'll have you know that you will be facing serious consequences because of your actions." He paused as his gaze dropped to Paul who had been quiet all along. "It is such a shame that we will have to let go of suc
Keisha's POV “Are you two friends?” Paul asked, glancing between us.“Yes,” Phoebe answered quickly, still smiling. “We’re friends.”“No, we’re not,” I blurted before I could stop myself. “We’re classmates.” Mom’s eyebrows shot up and she gave me a puzzled look. Paul didn't seem to notice, he moved on with the conversation as the waiter came to take orders.I barely spoke through dinner. I nodded politely when Paul asked me questions, smiled faintly at his jokes, but inside I was boiling. My mom kept giving me side glances, it was obvious she knew something was wrong with me but I still tried to cover up. 'Why did Phoebe have to be his daughter of all people?' She was sitting here and smiling at me like she hadn't tried to ruin me years ago. How could she sit still like that? Didn't she feel any guilt for what she had done? How could she be so wicked? She was even worse than Rowan. The both of them were a match made in heaven. It took everything within me not to reach across the
Keisha's POVThe world seemed to pause for a moment and my lungs forgot how to work. My grip on his hands tightened as I stared at him with my mouth slightly opened. "I... Uhm-"“I’m not saying this because I expect you to say it back right now,” he rushed on, words tumbling out before I could even react. “I just… I want you to know. You don’t have to feel the same way. You don’t have to say anything at all.”No, I wanted to say those words back to him because what I felt for him was deeper than just a crush. I felt something more for him, something that made me want to take away all the pain he had gone through all these years. Something that made me want to let him know that he deserved all the happiness in this world. “Jake..." I whispered, "I love you too." He froze for a moment before he arched his brows at me, "wait, are you for real? You really don't have to say it back right now, Keisha."I leaned forward and stood on tippytoes, placing a kiss on his lips. I pulled away but
Keisha’s POVJake had texted me in the evening and said we should meet up at our basketball court. The secret court near my house where Jake and I used to go when we were younger.When I arrived, he was already there, spinning a basketball in his hands like it weighed nothing. He bounced the ball a few times before tossing it into the net. It went straight in and he ran after the ball to pick it.“Hey,” I said in a soft voice as I walked closer to him.His head snapped towards me and he smiled. "Hey. You made it." He said as he stood in front of me. A noticed a few bruises around his cheekbone but it wasn't anything too bad.“I always do.”We headed towards the side and settled down on one of the benches. “Have you treated that? It might turn into a scar if you don't." I pointed to his cheek.Jake nodded slowly, then bounced the ball once against the cracked pavement before saying, "Yeah, I applied a bit of ointment on it earlier."I sighed as my mind drifted back to the reason he had
