"Please! Team me up with someone else, anyone!" I pleaded.
"Listen I wish I can but you are the only one complaining here.""Hey, come over here!" Ace yelled out, his hands on his waist. "The game is getting started.""Pleassseee.." I emphasized. The coach scratched the back of his head as he stared down at me. "Listen."I don't mind trading partners," Someone said behind me. I almost leaped for joy but my smile subsided when I found out it was Noel."Okay, great! Lizzy team up with Ace." The coach openly declared."Sure," she grinned sheepishly, jogging towards Ace."Hey!" Noel waved.I replied with barely a nod.~After the activities, we sat down exhausted. Noel pulled out a bottle of water and handed it to me. "You must be thirsty.""Thanks," I breathed out.He dropped his bottle of aside, and leaned upright, few strands of his black hair glued on his forehead. His brown eyes was fixed on a specific direction without cutting aI woke up to the loud blaring of my alarm, I lazily reached out to slam it shut. I rubbed my eyes but still felt sleepy, maybe because I didn't manage to catch enough sleep yesterday night.Great!I sat up, yawned heavily as I wore my flip flops making my way into the bathroom. After a warm shower, I applied some ointments on my skin, wore a blue hoodie and a pair of blue jeans, brushed my hair, and clasped it in a tight ponytail. I stared at my reflection to see little dark circles under my eyes. "What a drag," I sigh, took my backpack, and walked downstairs for breakfast."Morning miss Clara," Sophia greeted with a smile."Morning Sophia, what about my aunt?" I asked taking a seat. "She will be joining us soon," she pushed a bowl of sushi towards me. "Orange Juice?" She asked pulling up the jug and I nodded. "Tony is having a fever, he won't be going to school." She said pouring the Orange Juice into my cup."Is it serious?" She shook her head. "I don't think so," she placed her
My stomach rumbled as I wash the toilet, I had missed lunch break because of Ace, how much I despise him.I stood up with a sigh, finally done. I pulled off my gloves and wiped the droplets of sweat from my forehead with the back of my hands.I washed my hands and strolled towards the door, it busted open before I could reach the doorknob, hitting me hard on my forehead. "Ouch," I groaned my hands on my forehead. "Why not watch where you are going!" I snapped, my face hardened in a frown. I peeked up to meet Sandra's grimacing glare, and without a word, she shoved me away."Hey!" I grumbled, my ass on the cold floor."Freak!" She cussed, and without sparing me a glimpse she shut the restroom door behind her. I exhaled.My stomach rumbled all my way to class, it was embarrassingly audible but it couldn't be helped.~School was over.I fished my phone from my jeans to give Bethany a call, it took a few rings before she finally picked up."Sorry I couldn't make it," she apologized eve
I let out a loud groan as I walked into the house, I leaned against the door completely exhausted. 'It's unlike you to come home late!" My aunt voiced out. I turned to see her sitting in the living room, leg crossed, with a glass of wine."Stop sounding like we have lived together for ages, it been just two days.""You don't have to remind me," she grinned, swirling her cup of wine."Sorry if I got you worried," I slumped on the couch, a loud grunt dashed out of my lips.Aunt Christina gazed at me for a while before shaking her head."It's anything wrong?" I asked and she let out a sigh."Have you spoken with your parents recently?" "Um... No!""I see. Did you even wonder why I came here even though I knew your parents weren't around?""Did something happen?" I asked, curiosity roaming in my bones. Something just didn't seem right!Aunt Christina had already been fond of coming over unannounced. Several times mum had confronted her about it but she is just as stubborn as hell. We h
The clock on my nightstand registered 5:43 am, Reminds me that once again I had woken up before the rest of the household. I slowly put my foot to the floor, pausing to straighten the book carelessly abandoned on the bedside cabinet when I felt my eyes closing just before sleep. I stretched out and inhaled deeply, it's been just a month being friends with lia and I have already turned out to be a bookworm. We seem to get a lot more smoothly than I presume, probably due to the fact we had many things in common. The shadow of night darkens the room. I reach up to pull the cord, light chasing away whatever lingers in unlit corners. A swoosh of cold air trembles my skin as I open the balcony door, I embraced myself tightly. I run my hands across the bookcase I bought a few days ago, the glass front displaying for all to see its shelves overcrowded with books I can't wait to finish reading. I opened the bookcase and pulled out a book."I will read this as I wait for dawn," I grinned sh
I glup my saliva as i rubbed my already sweaty arms trying to calm my ferocious beating heart. Ethan was inches away from me!The phase was enough to make any teenage girl go nut.I spared him a quick glance from the corner of my eye and he appeared to be staring right outside the window with some distant look on his hard haze.This was the first time I have ever been this close to him, his dark hair was more grey like than I thought. As if he felt my gaze he turned, I diverted my immediately, my cheek flushed at the prospect of being caught staring at him so intensively."Well then, that's enough for today," the teacher declared arranging his books. "Make sure to do your assignment!" He stated before walking out of the class.Wait! An assignment!~"Were you not paying attention!" June snapped with an eye roll."I wasn't!" I replied, frankly."I guess you felt so good sitting next to Ethan that you paid no attention to lecture.""Kind of!" I shrugged, she shut me a deadly glare. "Ar
"Don't dare!" Ace grumbled when I tried to reach for the door. He pulled up his trousers. "Out!" He yelled."Thanks!" I tried walking past the door but a strong grip held me back. "Not you stupid!" Ace snarled, he glared at Emily who quickly wore her clothes. She scowled at me before dashing out of the washroom. "What are you going to do to me!" I stuttered, my fragile body shivering. "You can't even imagine," he smirked, his grip stiffened and I gasped in pain. He held my shoulders and swirled banging me hard on the wall."Am sorry!" I mumbled in pain as his fingers pierced through my hoodie."Why don't you call your boyfriend to come to rescue you!" He whispered into my ear. I gulped my saliva as his lips brushed my ears. He sniffed. "You still smell good," he uttered beneath his breath, his grip on my shoulder loosened. "it's been a while don't you think?" He stared at me and I could see some strand of emotion in his eyes. I was still contemplating whether to reply to him when h
"Get up bitch" Sandra snarled yanking my hair arduously making me whin in pain. Damn it! Who would ever perceived that getting into a fight with Sandra would put me in such a mess. "Let go of me nitwit" I cussed, grunting in anguish. "Guess you still haven't learned your lesson" Sandra growled "perhaps I need to pull harder" she seethed, yanking hard like her life depended on it. I probably should had give it a second thought before barging in to save someone else knowing fully well I was no match with Sandra. My bad. "Alright am sorry" I pleaded in gritting teeth, groaning in agony as sandra tugged my hair almost plucking it off my scalps. "That's more like it" Sandra slurred pushing me to the wall. "If you try playing hero next time" she used her hand to divide her neck "I will eradicate you" she threatened before catwalking away. The school bell rang signifying time for lecture making the crowded students
I watch as he sat down on a seat miles away from me, but that did not keep me from dribbling. Distance is not an obstacle when it comes to love. "Clara!" Bethany said snapping her hands in front of me." Get hold of yourself!". "Is he not just cute" I said grinning sheepishly. "Yeah.. Everybody knows that" she mumbled with an eye roll. "Way more than your boyfriend you know" "At least I have one" she rasped. "Who cares" I grumbled. Ethan has this grey black curly hair and pink perfectly shaped lips that always swept me off my feet. And his physique, oh my... "Alright that's enough" Bethany said hauling me back to the class. "But my noodles" I protested "I owe you a plate of noodles then" she muttered. Yeah great. ~ Bethany gave me a ride home even though our route home differs, she always insisted on taking me home never wanting me to take the bus. "Thanks
