Makaila's POV
"Holy shit!" Rita exclaimed as soon as I told her about the kiss. Knowing Rita she would probably scream it out of the whole school to hear so I quickly palmed her mouth to muffle her scream of excitement.
"Keep your voice down Rita. You want the whole school to hear you? They would have my head." I hissed at her.
"I'm so sorry. I am just so excited. Finally, my prayers have being answered." She let out a dramatic sigh of relief and I rolled my eyes at her, trying to stop the smile from spreading on my lips.
"Why are you so dramatic? For all I know it was just a kiss, nothing more." I acted like it was a normal stuff. But it certainly wasn't a normal thing. I mean, I just got my first kiss, from the guy I am falling for.
"Was it? Was it really?" Rita raised an eyebrow at me. Okay, it wasn't a Normal kiss. It was fantastic. Christian is a fantastic kisser
Christian's POV"How the hell did he know that Makaila stays in your house?!" Nigel snapped as soon as I told him what went down with Jackson. I shrugged, still shocked and baffled."I have absolutely no clue." I replied, running my fingers through my hair. "He just said it like he knew my biggest secret." I added and Nigel scoffed."Well basically, it is your biggest secret. That and the fact that you are actually falling for Makaila." I looked at him, a new found shock written all over my face. He scoffed again and folded his hands across his chest."Don't give me that look, lover boy. I see the way you look at her, even a blind man can see the way you look at her. You are falling for her." He smirked and I rubbed the back of my neck nervously."Why do you make it sound like it's such a bad thing to fall for Makaila." I asked him but he shook his head."No, I am not saying it like it's such a bad thing." He clarified and I nodded. "It's a good thing, a really good thing. I'm actually
Christian's POVI haven't been the same since Makaila left. I've tried reaching across to her, at least to talk to her and explain myself but she avoided me like I was a plague. It was frustrating. The worst part of it all was that Bethany had succeeded in latching herself on to me like a leech and I had no way of telling her off. It was then I began to see what Makaila had been talking about.Even though I had absolutely no feelings for Bethany, I'll still choose her over everything.And that was a terrible thing.Something I needed to stop desperately.Nigel and Rita were also giving me attitude, especially Rita. She was going really extra about it and it was scary to bits. Jackson wouldn't stop looking at me with a certain sardonic smirk on his lips and though I tried to act nonchalant about it, I had a terrible feelin
Makaila's POVI couldn't stop thinking about the little moment Christian and I had at Nigel's house, in my room. I still couldn't believe that Christian had confessed that he was in love with me, after everything that happened between us. After that day, I became even more confused and I didn't know what to make of the entire situation.I barely saw him at school. He didn't sit with his team mates in the cafeteria and the classes we shared together, I barely saw him there. It was pretty frustrating. I wanted us to talk. No, I needed us to talk. We needed to work things out. I began to feel really guilty for pushing him away. Tyler was having a party and the entire school was going to be in attendance, especially Christian. As much as I wanted to speak to Christian, I was having second thoughts about attending the party. Rita came over to Nigel's house so they could get ready and go together. She been
Christian's POVI haven't stopped regretting walking out of Makaila's room that evening. I wish I stayed. I wish I stayed to hear what she had to say but I just couldn't bear to see her cry. It breaks my heart to see her hurt and I hurt her so bad. I have probably lost all my only chance of being with her. I love Makaila so much but would I ever be with her? Would I? I started to get ready for Tyler's party. Bethany said she would meet me there which is kinda weird because she loves us going to parties together. She loved us showing to the whole school who the most popular couples were. I guess, I should get used to her because I don't think she's leaving me anytime soon. I don't even think I am going to leave her soon. I am not the kinda that breaks up without a good reason to. Plus, there was something about Makaila that made me scared for her. I have been seeing her sneaking
Christian's POV"Makaila, are you okay?" I immediately moving closer to her. "Come back here you slut!" I heard a familiar voice call from behind her. She shook her head and ran off, brushing past me. Before I could say anything to stop her, I saw Tyler, James and two other guys on the team running towards me. My eyes met theirs, especially Tyler whose lips spread in a sardonic smirk when he saw me. I saw that Tyler had a black eye and I needed no soothsayer to tell me he had done something. I felt my blood boil. "What did you do to her?" I asked him, my voice raspy. "Nothing."He shrugged nonchalantly. "We just wanted to have a little fun with her. If you are spending so much time with her, then she must be really good in bed. Better than Bethany even." He slurred drunkenly. I didn't pay attention to his last statement. I already saw
Makaila's POV"Seems like you and Christian are getting better." Rita said, leaning against the locker beside mine, watching me as I fixed my things into my locker. I sighed and shrugged. "Well, it's more like we are taking things slow. He's still with Bethany." I told her and she scoffed. "It's just a matter of time before they break up. Nigel found some sort of dirt on Bethany." Rita revealed and I stopped what I was doing to look at her, my eyebrows raised. "What kind of dirt? Hope y'all didn't create some sort of dirt just to get Christian and I together because that will just be plain low." I folded my hand across my chest and looked at Rita skeptically. "As much as I would have loved to do that, that's not the case here, Makaila. We found real dirt. Bethany has been cheating on Christian." Rita revealed and I sighed in response, closing my locker.
Makaila's POV Everything went back to normal. Bethany, Tyler and the rest of the Jocks that tormented me stopped taunting me, mostly because coach heard what Tyler wanted to do and had him kicked off the team. Same for Bethany who got kicked off the cheer squad. My life took a whole new turn. Jackson barely showed up in school so I didn't worry about running into him. Of course he wouldn't show up in school after Christian taught him an unforgettable lesson. Christian. That name made me smile over and over again. He wouldn't stop telling every single day how much he loves me and how he just wants to hold me in his arms and prove it. Though I was still staying at Nigel's, Christian would always come to see me. Sometimes, he even sleept over. Though I protest at every attempt, every part of me loved the fact that he was sleeping over. But Saying those three words back had become quite difficult for me to do. I was confused and I don't want to take the risk. I needed time to heal af
Christian's POVAfter the incident at the station and getting to know that Makaila's father was out there and would be back for her, I became very concerned about the entire situation. I could not imagine anything happening to Makaila. Nigel and I came up with a ridiculous but genius plan and that was, we would be following her everywhere she goes,Without her consent, that is. We had to do it that way because we were certain that if she get to know what we are planning, she would kill the both of us, literally. But we had to do it because it was for her own good. It seemed like the only way, I am sure to keep her safe. I don't want to loose her. Not now, Not ever. I love her. The police were also available to keep watch around the house, any day but the weekends. They were doing their own investigations and trying to keep tabs on everything. I didn't leave Makaila sight especially at ni
