Keisha’s POVI swallowed the lump in my throat as Joshua opened the door wider, Rowan stepped in with a smile on his face and textbooks in his hands, but his smile dropped as soon as he saw Jake sitting on the couch beside me, then his eyes moved to the books on the table in front of him. “What a pleasant surprise.” He said to Jake who was also staring at him with surprise on his face. “You didn’t tell me he was going to be here.” He directed that to me.Before I was able to answer, Jake cut in.“It turns out I love studying just as much as you, brother.” He said in a bored tone.Rowan walked to us, his eyes never leaving Jake’s as he dropped his books on the table and sat on the couch too. It was obvious they both didn’t like what was going on. Well, I didn’t like it either but I was going to find out they acted like this towards each other, so I had to endure.I sat in the middle of both of them, to prevent them from setting themselves on fire with their hot gazes. I inhaled deeply
Keisha's POV "Girl, are you okay? I thought you were having a stroke for a second." Amy voiced out as soon as Rowan disappeared."Oh my God! I'm going on a date with Rowan!" I squealed as I jumped up and down like a little girl.The girls and I jubilated for a while until the bell rang. We promised to talk about the outfit I would be wearing to the date by lunch. I skipped happily to my class and just as I was about to step into the classroom, I bumped into Phoebe, more like we bumped into each other. We both staggered backwards while she rubbed her forehead in pain.I was a bit taller than her, so I had hit her with my chin. I was sure I didn't hit her hard because my chin was perfectly fine, but she stood there rubbing her head like I just hit her with a brick. "Watch where you are going!" She hissed as if in pain, "the school was so peaceful when you were gone for a week, now you are back and causing havoc." She rolled her eyes and walked past me into the class.I wanted to talk
Keisha’s POVMy mind wandered as I got out of my mom’s car and headed into the school. I didn’t see Jake while we were heading home yesterday evening, his car wasn’t in the parking lot either. I found myself staring out of the window of my room several times, trying to catch even a glimpse of him, but he wasn’t in his room almost throughout the day. I was even tempted to go to our former hideout, the abandoned basketball court, but what would I say if I met him there? Would it be weird if I claimed to be mad at him and still ask him why he left and then came back all of a sudden? Of course, it would be weird.“Hey, Keisha. It’s your favourite day, Monday. Why do you look like you suddenly hate it?” Yuri asked as she ran over to my side.I groaned as we headed towards her locker, we made a quick stop before walking to mine. And he was right there, leaning on his locker with a basketball in his hand. Lucas said something to him which made him tilt his head backwards and laugh.God! He
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
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
