"My parents never wanted me" Ace began softly. Talking about his parents was a topic he never ventured into, he put it in a strong box and locked it away. But he wanted her to know him, wanted her to know all of his demons, all his secrets. "Well they never wanted kids in general not just me" Ace sat with his back to the headboard of his bed, he could imagine his father with his dark eyes and his salt and pepper hair, everything he had physically he got from his father, his build, his eyes, his straight Greek nose except for the hair though he got that from his mother.'A diamond of the first water 'That is what his mother was. She had porcelain fair skin, a petite frame, and bright copper pen red hair that he took from her. She was a beauty, an epitome of elegance and wealth, both his parents were but they were also workaholics and unfit to raise a child."Do you guys talk" Sky asked'talk' Ace thought. they don't even know I exist. "My parents and I have no relationship whatsoever
Chapter oneAce laced up his black Chelsea boots and ran downstairs taking the steps two at a time, being an only child to two workaholic parents made living alone in his mansion extremely lonely but life as he knew it was about to change he just didn't know if yet.Ace Reed, the first and only child of Mr. and Mrs. Reed, both surgeons and heads of departments was a head-turner with his Dark eyes and bright red hair, he was six foot six inches and beautiful and this boy knew it. Girls threw themselves at him and he let them, he was spoilt and he didn't Care he lived a Carefree life, he had everything he wanted what more could a person possibly need.The air was hot and humid against her skin, it blows in through the window of the Toyota that was taking her to her new life, away from the whispers, away from the stares, away from him. It was messing up her hair"good," she thought she never wanted to pack it up in the first place but her mum always says packing up her blond tresses alwa
Chapter 2Walking through the front door of the large dining room Sky hears noises, yelling, and playful banter, and then she sees a large window that lets in a lot of light making the room bright and beautiful, this makes her wonder how the room would look like at night, especially with a full moon in the sky.The noise doesn't stop, everyone is oblivious to her presence and this allows her to watch.The room is packed with guys, tall, bulky guys that look to be about her age, but everyone is tall to Sky with her height at five foot five inches.One guy throws a glass cup at the other tall guy opposite him like a basketball and thankfully the other guy catches it...' I don't think my aunt will be ecstatic knowing that her fine China is being used as a replacement for basketball'Let me tell you something about Sky, she has this innate ability to blurt out her thoughts without remorse, most times she does this unknowingly like right now... The fact that about 6 pairs of eyes are sta
Chapter 3Sky's Pov.After dinner, Aunt Loren shows me to my room"I hope the design is to your taste," she says bringing me out of my thoughts.I take my time to look around me. The peach-colored walls with grey accents were my style, there was also a queen-sized bed that looked comfy with white covers and grey and peach colored throw pillows, the double door wardrobes were big, and there was a small table by the bedside with a lamp on it, I also had my en suite"I love it, thank you" my response brought a smile to her face.Mom stepped into the room squeezing aunt Loren on the arm, probably her way of saying thank you....again"I'll see you downstairs," aunt Loren said to mum while leaving the room"Sky.....""Mom...." We started togetherI looked up into her eyes, "you go first dear" she said while leading us towards the bed to sitWe sat side by side with her arms around me, "I'll be fine Mum... I promise" I breathed out " I'll eat, I'll sleep, I'll go out, I'll socialize, I'll t
Chapter 4Sunday came and went. I unpacked my stuff, arranged my room, put my personal effects away, and read a bit, although it was some of the old books I've read before I promised, I promised to put in an effort so I will.Plain white shirts with the option of long or short sleeves tucked into navy blue and black short plaid skirts, white thigh high socks, and polished black shoes, that is the official school uniform of Lake view high school according to the student handbook,Oh, and there's a tie!!, though that is optional 'thank God'I've been awake since four am. I've bathed, brushed my teeth, pressed my uniform, and have been sitting on my bed in my robe reading this book, it is very boring by the way. Check this out:'All students are to report to the auditorium by eight every day for a mandatory assembly' what happened to just resuming school and going straight to classUhhh I miss public school...I miss my school, I miss... NO.The sun's waking up and judging from the quiet
Chapter 5Sky's POVI looked down at the class schedule in my hands that carried the school's letterhead my locker number and timetable. I was supposed to have gotten the information last week, the school does this to avoid too many students crowding the office but I couldn't get mine because I got into town on Saturday.Today marks the beginning of the senior year, soon high school will be all over. I'm not sure what I plan to do next but we'll see. It'll be a miracle if I'm able to survive the semester"What do you have first and second period?" Ty asked"History and Ap calc""Sh***t....your cousin's smart Ty....what happened to you" he laughed Ty laughed, everyone knew that was a joke but Tyler didn't really care, he always said he wasn't one for rigorous reading he just wanted to shoot hoops.It seemed everyone had different classes to attend for first period but since I was new Toby said She'll walk me to my history class since her literature class was in the same building.Toby
School got out by three but basketball practice ran till 5. Uncle David wasn't coaching the team today, he had to fly out of the state for work, and seeing as Tyler was my ride home I was stuck here, on the bleachers till 5.I leaned against the backrest of the chairs on the bleachers and watched as the guys ran drills, they passed the ball, shot hoops, and did some complicated formations that went right over my head. They were really good.I wasn't the only one in the bleachers, turns out the guys had some serious fans, and with the way, they were sighing now and then I'd say they weren't here for the sport, more like for the guys.Dark eyes from across the field were staring at me like they were looking right through me like he was searching for my secrets'huh' I thoughtI guard those with my life.Ace Reed liked me. Or at least he was interested in me that much I could tell from the long stares and the short conversations we've had if you'd call that 2-second ramble between us a c
Ace was confused. The feelings were beginning to overwhelm him and he still didn't understand them. He especially didn't understand what happened this evening with Amber.Amber was a regular part of the group, she was good friends with the girlfriends of some of the basketball players so that earned her a spot in the group. Amber, Tasha, and Laurel we're as thick as thieves. In a way, they kind of ran the school together. People said they were the perfect combination of beauty and brains.But Ace thought differently now, there was only one girl whom those terms perfectly qualified, and her sky blue eyes haunted him.It wasn't news to anyone in the group or at school that Amber had feelings for Ace. She knew about his sexual escapades, everyone knew he slept around.......a lot, he goes through girls faster than their high school ran out of toilet paper in the girl's bathroom. But she always thought 'Boys will be Boys' and when he was finally ready to settle down he'd pick her.Ace was
