Keisha’s POV

Jake 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

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

    Keisha's POVRowan didn't lie when he said he was going to tell everyone the truth. By lunch break, his apology letter was already taped to the notice board. He apologized for spreading false rumors, admitted that he started the fight with Jake and also confessed that he was the one who put up my posters. Mr Hawkins had no choice, he suspended Rowan for two weeks and he also quit the basketball team. Jake wasn't punished like I thought he would be, he was only warned not to fight within the school premises anymore. The cafeteria buzzed louder than usual as if the air itself carried Rowan’s apology across the room. Everyone seemed to be talking about his apology letter. Most people kept giving me looks of pity while some just stared at me like they didn't care. But nobody came to apologize for how they judged me and humiliated me wrongly.Not that their apologies would do anything to the damage they had caused now. I didn't fail to notice how Rowan didn't mention Phoebe in his lette

    Keisha's POV Amy and I walked down the long hallway toward Mrs. Baldwin’s office with my pulse drumming loudly in my ears. It was impossible not to imagine the worst due to the expression on Mrs. Thompson’s face when she passed me the message. What if this was about the fight? What if Rowan had managed to twist things again and somehow pin all the blame on me? What if Jake got into trouble because of me?I stopped outside the heavy wooden door and stared at it for a while."You need to go in." Amy said, pulling me out of my thoughts. After resolving that standing here would not get me anywhere, I took a deep breath and knocked. I heard a low 'come in', so I opened the door with a sweaty hand and stepped inside.“Keisha,” Mrs. Baldwin said warmly, gesturing to the chair across from her desk. “Please, sit down.”Her office smelled faintly of lavender and old books, the shelves lined with certificates and pictures of her and her family. This wasn't the time for sightseeing, so I sat

    Keisha's POV"That idiot, I'm so going to kill him!" Amy seethed as she put the car back in ignition and started to drive us to school."Do you think we should report him to his dad, the principal?" Yuri asked. I was about to agree but then I remembered how Jake said his dad always supports Rowan."I think we should keep this to ourselves for now." I answered. "What do you mean? Everyone has to know the truth, he has to be punished for humiliating you." Amy said as she glanced at me before focusing back on the road."I know, I just have a feeling that Mr Hawkins might dismiss it since Rowan is the culprit, Jake said he really likes his son and everything he does is always right in his sight." "Now that's bad, really bad. What are we going to do now." Nicole asked.I bit my nails as I thought about what to do. We had to do something that would ensure that Rowan gets punished, but how do we do that? "What about Phoebe? We can persuade her to confess." I suggested."Do you really thi

    Keisha's POVAfter Rowan had succeeded in ruining Jake's mood, he only stayed for a few minutes longer before going back to his house and I could tell he wasn't exactly happy no matter how hard I tried to cheer him up. God, Rowan was really a jerk, did he really need to say all those things to him? It was like he enjoyed making his brother miserable, just like Phoebe found delight in when bad things happen to me. The both of them were such a perfect match. The next morning, I was eager to go to school and tell my friends what I had seen yesterday. Amy would be coming to pick me up soon so I had quickly dressed up and even decided to wear my hair down today.I went downstairs and saw my mom and my brothers by the dining table. I greeted them and sat for breakfast. "You guys should go ahead and eat, I have an afternoon shift today so I have to rest early." Mom said as she walked over to Justin's side and helped him to brush his hair. "Alright, mom." I answered with a mouthful of veg

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

    Keisha's POVI didn’t stop running until I slammed my bedroom door shut, pressed my back against it and slid down until my butt hit the floor, my heart pounding like a war drum. "You are a big jerk, Rowan." I muttered, my voice coming out breathless, as if I had just finished a race.That idiot, he used me and moved on to the next girl available. Who knew if he was using Phoebe too. But it didn't seem like he was using her, the way he touched her said more than that. And the way she giggled like they had been doing that for a while. What if the both of them were in a real relationship while Rowan was using? I shook my head as if that would make the images that kept replaying in my mind disappear. I heard the soft scrape of my window sliding open, I shot to my feet and wondered who it was. Rowan had never climbed my window before, so I knew it wasn't him. Jake grunt as he climbed in, he now had a shirt over his shorts but his hair was still messy. "Hey." He said in a soft time as
