LOGINI didn't sleep well. Weird. Georgina's room has always been where I slept the best. I just stared at the ceiling There was pure silence Too silent. Not the kind that calms you, the kind that makes you think. My mind replayed everything from last night, the laughter, the warmth, then the message.“You always fall for the wrong person” My chest tightened. I exhaled calmly and reached for my phoneNo new notification No new message It was like last night didn't happen But it did I ran my fingers across my head and exhaled Maybe it was just a random hater trying to get to me, it's not the first time But still…… it felt too personal to be a random hater The person behind this……… KNEW ME A slight knock came from the door, before it finally opened. “Wakey wakey sleepy head” It was Georgina She brought French toast, scrambled eggs with orange juice I smiled softly She was calm, and soft like nothing had happened “Good morning” I responded back “Breakfast? I figured you'd
I contacted my father about the issue and he had full security checks on all the workers in the house. Our cleaners, weekly chefs and the people that deal with laundry. I am spending the rest of the weekend at Georgina's house,and Jordan has been checking in. I might stay over at Georgina's house for the rest of the month till I travel for the winter break or till my dad's back. “I can't believe this happened in like 24 hours” Georgina walked in handing a cup of hot chocolate to me.“It has been a lot” I responded I took a sip of the drink and damn Georgina knows how to make one good hot chocolate “You are welcome to stay here as much as you want, and I'm sorry I wasn't available when you needed me” Georgina said “It's okay baby, you also had you own stuffs to deal it, I can't cloud your mind with my life issues only” We both laughed I love Georgina, she's my safe space l, everything just seems right when she's around She held my hands and smiled so hard at me “I'm lucky we'
The next morning, I woke up with a migraine. The last thing I remembered about last night was Jordan and I watching funny tiktoks together. He was unexpectedly fun Moments with him felt safe But I couldn't jump into conclusions yet, I still don't know what he's thinking. I grabbed my slippers and walked to my room I checked my dad’s office but Jordan was not there He probably left, but his jacket was still on the chair I entered into my room straight to the bathroom I really needed the shower A lot had happened last night. I dressed up and took some pain relief for my migraines My stomach was rumblingGeorgina probably baked something today, I thought to myself I jumped on my bed when I saw it. It was in a file. I opened it. My heart dropped. It was a picture of Jordan and I together. Not the school this time In the house. I walked out of my room fastAs I got to the stairs, a very good aroma came from the kitchen area I walked and saw Jordan in the kitchen He loo
I got to my car when I realized I didn't have my key. I turned and Jordan was already behind me He looked worried, he walked towards me gently “I forgot my keys” “You're not leaving until you tell me what's wrong” “I'm fine” “No you're not” “I am!” “You shouldn't be out here alone” “You shouldn't be following me” I sighed “Zuri, look at me, you're not fine, it's obvious” His eyes were locked with mine He moved closer to me and held my hands I removed them “Oh, I'm sorry if that made you uncomf- “No no, it's not you” I wondered if I could trust Jordan, seeing this file just made him seem clean in this whole mystery, but he was the only one there, could it mean he intentionally did it to make himself look less guilty? If that's possible, then he would have an accomplice His eyes were still fixed on mine He looked calm “I want my keys” “It's with me” he said Before I could say anything “You left it on your bag, and I'm not leaving here without you” I rolled my ey
A month and some weeks had already passed and it was almost Halloween. And Well-Wood high has a pretty interesting Halloween party/sleepover tradition. All high schoolers come together to party and have a sleepover in school. This was my first Halloween sleepover without Mason. It seemed sad But I had move past him. The night was buzzing, the students social event team had put in a very great work this year, they do infact get better every year. And my dance team, oh well, I got elected as captain, what a plot twist for the most scandalous human in this school.We had something planned. Very huge. Something that symbolized Owning your power back. The school chat was already buzzing, reviews of people's outfit flying around WHERE ARE YOU?! ALOTT OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN WHISPERING ABOUT YOUR ABSENCE That was Georgina’s text But they don't know what was about to go down. It was showtime. The lights went off. Then suddenly The Formation by Beyonce intro began to play The spotlight
The rest of the week I couldn't place my mind on the news about my father's new concubine. I felt every emotion at worse Sadness. Anxiety. Stress. Anger. Betrayal. I kept asking questions, who is she? What did she look like? What does she sound like? What does she want from us? Not like I cared, but because I wanted to know what I was stepping into I was aggressively cuddling my teddy bear, waiting for my father's arrival, it was already the weekend and I didn't know how to act I tried asking Jordan and Zoey for the details, but they are too annoyed at me to give me listening ears, and I still haven't apologized to them. I heard my father's honk. I ran to my window to have a view, I wasn't ready yet, I needed to dress up and have my makeup done. By the time I was done, and started walking down the stairs, I heard laughterThen it went silent By the time I was fully concentrated, everyone's gaze were on me I always knew I caught numerous attention And I guess the clicking
