View MoreWriter’s POVMonday came with the usual noise of a new school week. The hallways were crowded with students.Vanessa walked into the school building, her arms folded on her chest.Her steps were slow, but her presence, as always, was impossible to ignore. Heads turned, some whispered, some stared longer than they should. She hadn’t been around lately, skipping school under the excuse of “needing to rest.” But no one dared question her too much, not when it came to Vanessa.The moment she stepped into the classroom, the student noticed her.Their faces lit up almost instantly, one by one, as if the sun
Ava’s POVI couldn’t help it, the moment those words left his mouth, the moment he stood there looking so serious, like all of this was normal I started laughing again.I know I’m laughing so hard but it wasn’t because I was happy. It was because this whole thing felt so stupid and even Zach looks like a stupid creature to me now. I paused with the laugh and shook my head slowly. I stared at him, almost feeling sorry for him. Almost.“You know,” I said, folding my arms across my chest, “I think you are the most foolish person I’ve ever met.” I muttered. His face twitched a little, but he didn’t say anything. He just stood there, watching me like a movie.“You actually expect me to believe that nonsense you just vomited now?” I raised my brow at him, stepping a little to the side, holding his eyes. “Let me guess….” I lifted my hand and started to mock his words, mimicking his voice in the most childish way I could. “‘I thought I could just push it away and pretend it wasn’t real……But
Ava’s POVAfter making my statement, I had barely taken two steps out of the classroom before I heard his hurried footsteps behind me.Before I could even move faster, I felt his hand wrap around my wrist.I froze with my eyes wide open. That same sharp anger that had been buried deep inside me came rushing back like it had never left. My whole body stiffened, and my head slowly turned until my eyes locked onto his hand holding me.I didn’t even have to say a word. The look on my face was enough.Zach’s fingers loosened immediately, and he let go, stepping back as if my skin had burned him.I stood there, staring at him for a second, my heart pounding in a way that had nothing to do with feelings. It was just pure frustration.“What do you want now?” My voice was cold and steady, the kind of voice I usually saved for people who didn’t know when to stop. “Didn’t you hear what I said in there? Or are you pretending you didn’t understand?”His lips parted, but he hesitated like the word
Ava’s POVI spent the whole day thinking about everything. I couldn’t get the thought out of my head. Every time I looked at my desk, I expected to find another one sitting there, waiting for me. It felt like a game, and I was getting tired of not knowing who was behind it.After class ended that day, I stayed back a little while. I stood near my desk, looking around at everyone. My classmates were busy chatting and packing their books, acting like everything was normal. I knew I wouldn’t get any answers just by standing there, so I took a deep breath and started asking around.Maybe I wasn’t the only person receiving this mysterious gift. “Hey,” I walked up to two girls near the window, “has someone been dropping something in your desk lately? Like… love card, chocolate or ice-cream?”They barely even looked at me. One of them gave me a small shrug while the other just kept scrolling through her phone like I wasn’t even there.I moved to another group. “Did any of you receive a lov
Ava’s POVFor a long moment, I just stood there staring at him with my mouth open. The words that came out of his mouth didn’t sound real. They echoed inside my head, over and over, like my brain couldn’t accept them.And then, suddenly, I burst out laughing.It wasn’t the kind of laugh that comes from finding something funny. It was sharp, bitter, and Cold.I laughed so hard my chest actually hurt, and I could see the confusion spreading across Zach’s face as he stood there, watching me like I’d lost my mind.“You must be out of your senses,” I said, still letting out small broken laughs. “For you to stand here and say that kind of nonsense to my face.”I was expecting him to flinch, but he didn’t. Instead, Zach looked at me with the most serious eyes I’d ever seen. His lips pressed together for a second, like he was holding back more words. “I’m serious, Ava,” he said, his voice low but clear. “I’ve been in love with you for a long time now. I just… I didn’t know how to say it to
Ava’s POVI stood there, staring at them, still waiting for someone to crack. But the triplets just kept looking at me like I had grown two heads.“None of us sent you anything,” Steve said first, folding his arms across his chest. His voice was firm, but there was something sharp in his eyes, like he didn’t like the topic at all.“Exactly,” Zayne added, shaking his head, “why would we be sending you love letters and flowers? Are you hearing yourself?” Irish didn’t say much, but his lips twitched like he was holding back a frown.I blinked at them, watching their faces one by one. There wasn’t a single flicker of guilt or amusement, no little smile, no playful tease. Nothing. Just blank denial.“Wait here,” I said, backing away. “Let me show you something.”I rushed back to class, heading straight to my locker. The cake, the ice cream were still sitting inside my locker, next to the love card and the flower. I grabbed them all and walked back to where the triplets were still standing
Ava’s POVThe past few days have been strange.Every morning, I opened my locker and found a love letter and a rose. It started on Monday, and the routine was the same each day, a folded letter with elegant handwriting and a fresh rose, perfectly placed, just waiting for me.After the first day that I opened it, I didn’t bother to open the letter again. I just tossed them straight into the trash without giving it a second thought. Who would send me flowers like this? It didn’t make sense.But still, every morning, it was the same thing. The love letter. The rose. And my confusion grew.Yesterday, though, something had changed. There was no rose, no letter. I thought maybe the person had stopped. Maybe they realized I wasn’t interested, or that it was all a mistake.I didn’t know how I felt about that, though. Part of me had wanted to know who it was. To see if they would do something again. Maybe I was curious, but also a little relieved. I wasn’t sure what to feel.⸻The next morning
Ava’s POVThe morning felt like every other. I got dressed for school. My hair refused to cooperate, so I tied it up in a messy bun and tried not to think too much about how tired I looked in the mirror. I grabbed my bag and headed out, doing my best to ignore the ache still lingering in my chest from yesterday. Probably the triplet is still sleeping or something. Because I don’t see them around, and honestly, I don’t want to disturb them. They slept late yesterday. By the time I got to school. I made my way to class, I glanced around and realized Vanessa wasn’t on seat. Maybe she’s not yet in school. I walked to my desk, reaching up to unlock my locker, when something caught my eye.There was a soft red rose resting on top of my books.I blinked, confused. And next to it, a small folded card, cream-colored with a delicate red heart drawn on the front.I stared at it for a moment, wondering if I was seeing it right. My fingers hesitated, then I slowly picked up the card and opened i
Ava’s POVI stared at him, not knowing what to say. My heart was thudding in my chest, and I could feel the heat in my cheeks, but I tried to hold his gaze. He looked serious, unreadable.“Were you… were you being serious just now?” I asked, finally, my voice quieter than I expected.His eyes didn’t waver. “Yes,” he said, simple and firm.I swallowed hard, feeling my stomach twist. I didn’t want to make this bigger than it already felt. I didn’t want him thinking, whatever it was he was thinking.“I wasn’t reacting to you,” I said, trying to sound calm, trying to make it sound believable. “I just didn’t want any trouble. People were taking pictures. That’s all it was. Not what you’re thinking.”He didn’t say anything at first. Just nodded. Slowly. Like he was hearing me, but not really believing a word I’d just said.The way he didn’t argue, didn’t question me, made it worse. I kind of wished he had snapped, or laughed, or even rolled his eyes. Anything. But the way he just accepted i
AVA'S POV“Disgusting stripper…” I heard one of the students bark as what seemed to be a rotten, large tomato splattered across my face. Laughter erupted around me, fingers pointing and mocking. Tears filled my eyes almost instantly; every step I took toward this humiliation felt more painful than the last.The abuse didn’t stop there. More strange objects hit me as I stood frozen in place, the sound of their laughter echoing in the room. My suffering was clearly entertainment for them. I felt filthy—not just from the disgusting object they had thrown, but deep inside, I felt filthy too.“Why are you suddenly crying? Isn’t this your job? Shouldn’t you be proud of it?” Vanessa sneered in my ear, forcing me to walk down the hallway while holding up a sign that read: The Packs’ Renowned Stripper Ava.I bit down on my lower lip, struggling to hold back more tears. It was harder than I had thought. I couldn’t stand up to Vanessa; I knew that would only bring me trouble, especially since sh...
