Jake's POV

I met the nurse on her way out. She frowned at me before looking at the door to Keisha's room.

"I told you guys to wait until after school before visiting her. What if you wake her up? She still needs to rest." She said, placing her arms on her hip. Even though she was short, she was still intimidating.

"I'm sorry, ma'am. I just wanted to make sure she is okay. And she is awake now." I told her before excusing myself and walking off.

I couldn't go back to class. I couldn't go back there and sit in that class, pretending to listening to what the teacher was saying. So, I headed to my car and drove to the abandoned basketball court close to my house.

I blamed myself for hurting Keisha. I never wanted to. But the ball slipped from my grip, spinning faster than I expected. I didn't even have the time to yell at her to dock it before the loud smack echoed through the court.

When the ball hit Keisha I knew trouble was going to happen. I had mentally prepared myself for it as I

  • How Not To Fall In Love With The Bad Boy   The bench

    Keisha’s POVI removed the flowers in the vase of grandpa’s room and replaced them with the ones we just brought. Mom sat on the chair beside his bed, chatting with him while Justin and Joshua busied themselves with the rest of the brownies.“Charity and I have grown fond of each other since she arrived, but those other men won’t keep their eyes off her.” I heard grandpa say to my mom.“So, what are you going to do about it?” Mom asked him.He smiled and looked proud of himself, “I’m going to ask her on a real date, then I will ask her to be my girlfriend.”I smiled at his response as I took a seat at the edge of his bed.“But isn’t it too early to ask her to be your girlfriend, grandpa?” Justin asked with a mouth full of brownies.“Life is too short, Charity and I are running our time so, why wait?” Grandpa answered him.“Hmm, that makes sense.” Joshua said, he and Justin nodded their heads simultaneously. Weirdos.“That doesn’t mean you guys can have girlfriends now. No girlfriends

    Keisha's POVAfter a boring week of staying at home, I was ready to go out and stay somewhere else other than my bedroom. It was Sunday noon and my mom suggested we visit our grandpa at the nursing home. We usually go to visit him whenever mom is less busy on Sundays, and today was one of those days.We got into the car and drove to the nursing home that was about a thirty minute drive to our house. Mom kept asking if I wasn't feeling any headache or pain in my head. She had stayed with me throughout the week and I felt bad for making her worried.When Rowan came over to my house last week, he had come with flowers. He apologized and said he had some emergency matters, that was why he didn't come to see me on time.I was happy that my thoughts about him not liking me weren't true. If he hadn't come that day, I would have given up on him. My friends also visited me everyday after school and helped with some of my notes. I was very grateful to them and happy that I wouldn't have to st

  • How Not To Fall In Love With The Bad Boy   Through my window

    Keisha's POVI woke up the next morning with a bit of a headache and a swollen face. My mom was in my room, setting breakfast on my table. She had taken some time off work to take care of me.When the school called her and told her about my state, she rushed over to school in worry. I was grateful that the nurse didn't mention that Jake was responsible for it. I shouldn't care but I didn't want mom to hate him like I did.She asked me what had happened and I told her that there was a bit of an accident on the basketball court. I wasn't lying but I wasn't telling the whole truth either, but it was better that way. My friends couldn't come to greet me yet because they had to go to school, but they promised to visit me immediately after school.I slept in my bedroom all day and almost died of boredom. Note to self, boredom kills faster than being sick. Robin tried to keep me company but he was a dog, he couldn't talk to me. He only raised his head to check on me and see if I was still a

  • How Not To Fall In Love With The Bad Boy   Collision

    Keisha's POV I looked back to the court and saw Rowan walking towards the rest of his team. One of them threw the ball to him and he started playing with them."Uhm, guys, is it just me or Rowan isn't that good at playing." Yuri spoke up. All these while I had been so focused on how Rowan looked rather than how he played, I decided to focus on that and truly, Yuri was right. Rowan struggled a little while he dribbled the ball and when he tossed the ball into the net, it didn't go in."Yikes, he really sucks. How did he even qualify to be part of the team? And oh my gosh, didn't you say he was the former captain? How come?" Amy asked as she watched Rowan with a frown on her face."You can be anything when your father owns the school. Daddy's boy wanted to play basketball and daddy made it happen, daddy's boy wanted to be captain and daddy made it happen. Sorry about that Keisha." Nicole said. "What? What has that got to do with me?" I asked Nicole who stared at me like I knew what s

    Keisha’s POVI could feel it in my bones that this week was going to be good. Starting from this morning, I kept getting more confirmation that Rowan liked me. I couldn’t wait for him to confess.I twirled my curls in my hand as my friends and I walked down the hallway, smiling brightly and humming a love song. My friends gave me suspicious looks, expecting me to spill the tea.“Okay, what happened? Just tell us already.” Amy spoke their minds.“What? Nothing happened. I just feel positive this week, like nothing can bring me down. Oh and by the way, thanks, Nicole. Your plan really worked.” I said, smiling at Nicole.She gave me a teasing smile and poked my shoulder with her finger.“So, something did happen. Come on, Keisha. Tell us.” Nicole dragged as she kept poking me.I giggled as I walked into the cafeteria, my friends entered too and we grabbed a tray for our food before joining the line.“Okay, I’m gonna tell you guys but let us get our food first.” I told my friends, I coul
