JUNE;

Such kindness? No! This was definitely new to me, no one had ever shown me that level of love and kindness. Did you see the tender way the huge boy took the sneaker off my foot? Like he was wiping away my sorrows too.

For one hopeful second, I had caught that girl's face, the one who looped her arms around Ronan. Her eyes had widened too, just like every other person in the classroom. The way the laughter quieted was still magical to me.

The whole class had gone quiet just from one singl

    JUNE;Mom’s voice rang softly as she sang the happy birthday song for me. I batted my eyelids fast, trying to pull back the tears already forming at the corners of my eyes. Her voice wrapped around me like a warm blanket, reminding me of those quiet nights when it was just the two of us in our small apartment. She would pull me close on the edge of the bed, her arms tight around my little shoulders, and sing the same song while the neighbor’s TV played too loud through the thin walls.“Happy birthday to you, my adorable daughter,” she finished the song, her voice cracking just a little. “You know, watching you turn twenty still felt like a miracle, knowing you became really sick after we left the hospital when you were born… I thought I’d lose you.”Her voice broke completely on the last words. I could picture her sitting in the car, one hand probably gripping the steering wheel while the other held the phone close to her ear. I rolled my eyes even though she couldn’t see me, becaus

    JUNE;The library was almost filled to the brim with students getting ready for the forthcoming exams. Heads bent low over open books, pens held in fingers and scribbling on notepads, pages flipping steadily. Soft murmurs and occasional sighs filled the library as everyone tried to soak in as much knowledge as possible before the big tests. I moved between the shelves in the back storeroom, sorting old catalog cards into neat piles, my fingers already dusty from handling and fixing the worn and dog-eared edges.Mrs. Brown had stepped out a few minutes earlier, informing the young lady that worked as the library attendant, Lilian, of some emergency she had. She didn’t even glance my way as she rushed out the door, I loved that she didn't anyway, her stares would do my mood no good. I exhaled heavily, my shoulders dropping as the tension in my neck loosened just a little. For the first time today, the storeroom felt a bit less like a cage.Lilian poked her head in from the main area

    JUNE;Romy and I stood by the notice board, a few other students were present too. The examination timetable had been posted. I couldn’t wait to sit for my first examination at Westbridge Uni. Teacher Harold had just left the class. He took me by the hand and, in his words,“Your grades are really good, child. If you keep to it, I’m sure the scholarship would be yours. Even though I’m not sure you quite need it.” He gave a small laugh at the end.I understood, the old man had no idea I left the mansion, nor did he know how much I wanted this scholarship. I had read all through the night, just like every other night, and at this point I felt ready for the exams.“You not listening,” Romy nudged me. I snapped out of my thought and looked, “I think someone wants to talk to you.”“Who?” I asked, creasing my eyebrows. She motioned with her jaw behind me. I spun. Matthew. He stood there, mouth pouted, hair rough.“Go away,” I snapped. “I’m still not talking to you.” I moved, pulling Romy a

    The humiliation burned fresh in her mind… the way Aria had spoken so calmly, the way others had stared. Selene’s jaw clenched tighter with every red light she passed. She turned into the long driveway of the villa, the grand house rose ahead, she had no minute to spare in parking the car religiously, rather she sped up, parking crooked right in front of the entrance. She killed the engine, pushed the door open so hard it bounced back, and dashed toward the heavy wooden doors. “Mom! Mom!” she yelled, her voice rang high in the early evening air. She lunged forward, each step a mark of the pain locked up inside her. Each step hard against the floor as she made toward the staircase, then the sound of a fork hitting against a porcelain bowl reached her. She stopped, turned to the direction, her mother sat there. Selene’s mother sat at the long dining table, slowly lifting the fork to her mouth. The woman chewed without hurry, her blue robe draped over her shoulders. She didn’t look

    Selene Arkwright pushed through the heavy glass doors of the upscale gym, her yoga mat tucked under one arm and her water bottle swinging in her other hand, just like every other evening she felt like stretching out her body. She had done this walk hundreds of times before. Her curls had been pulled together into a ponytail, bouncing behind her with each step as she headed straight for the female changing room. As usual, she yanked open her locker, pulled off her light jacket, and stuffed it inside without folding it. The mirror on the locker door showed her reflection, tight sports bra, flushed cheeks from the short walk outside, and her designer leggings hugging her legs perfectly. She stepped out and made her way to the revolving passage door that led into the main workout hall. Selene smiled to herself, already imagining the stretch of her yoga class ahead. Yoga was one thing that kept her demons away. She would sit on the mat, stretch, and imagine herself with Ronan and a be

    JUNE; “June,” he finally said, his voice low and rough, almost like it hurt to push the word out. He took another half-step closer, then paused again. “I… I didn’t know if you’d want to see me.” His fingers still tapping the key, like it was the only thing keeping him sane. I let go of the doorframe slowly, my palm sweaty. “You found me here. At Romy’s place.” My voice came out quieter than I wanted. “How?” He rubbed the back of his neck again, harder this time. “Doesn’t matter how. I just… needed to talk to you.” His eyes dropped to the ground once more, then lifted to meet mine again. “You’ve been avoiding my calls. I get it. After everything dad said to you…” “Your Dad!” I cut in, voice sharp, I was sure Ronan could detect how pissed I was. “Noted!” He replied, raising his hands in a mock surrender. “After the way I acted at the library… I figured you might not want me around.” The mention of his father made my stomach twist. Those cold words from Mr. Grayson still

    RONAN;I sat on the rough log near the bonfire, the flames crackling loudly and sending sparks into the dark sky. The evening air carried the smell of burning wood and the distant chirping of insects from the trees and shrubs around the vicinity. Teachers had finished their long talk about rural

    JUNE;“You can’t be making such jokes while we’re locked out here,” I snapped. But he didn’t say anything.He walked around me, and toward the bench, then rested his butt against it, both legs widely spread on the dusty floor. My chest tightened further. Is he now going to avoid saying a word to m

    JUNE;My phone buzzed on the tiny foam mattress that held my body. The springs of the bunker squealed under me as I turned, stretching just enough to grab it. It was Mom. Finally, the network coverage had steadied for a while. Her voice came through warm and cheerful, the sound of her munching on

    JUNE; “Thank you,” I muttered as he dropped my box right on the green shrubs, beside Romy. He stood, watching me. His lips were quivering like he had words. Words that had gone heavy at once. I moved my eyes away from his intense stare, but unfortunately, they landed on Selene Arkwright and her
