It was days after the incident and nothing seemed to change so she only squeezed deeper into her small shell and tried her best to be invisible. If it worked.She was always the first to leave a class and would she go straight to her usual place before everyone was out in the halls. Just like every other day, she sat in the old and forgotten library.Although it could no longer be called a library because of the lack of amenities, little to no furniture, and no presence, she could still perceive the smell of old books, and old wood and anyone could feel the emptiness of it from afar. Which was why she chose this spot, plus no student in their right senses would choose to hang out there. Except for her, of course.Placing her chin on her knees, she read a book, 'Unexpected Blessings' by Taylor Barbra. Not her kind of book, but she'd found the not-so-old book covered in dust in the very library she sat in, although the book had some pages torn out of it, she was more than enjoying it
"KEEP YOUR HEAD UP" was the last thing Jade saw before her face collided with her door, she fell backward with a heavy thud, and guess what she landed on. ..Right! her butt. "Christ! Not again...." Her butt was getting sore by too much of falling on it. Jade blamed it all on the stupid four words that got her whole life in a twist within just a few hours.First, she had gone home from school and refused to look down at anything or anybody at all, not even the O Scary green ghost with the hat in SpongeBob. Secondly, she looked her dad in the eye and said "am not hungry Dad" As childish and common as it sounds she had never said no to anyone, not at home and not in school thankfully the people at school didn't so much ask her for favors except for her big secret with April.She snuck her assignments to her all the timeShe'd tried her best to look up without feeling the need to look down every minute cause she was afraid someone would look up too and their eyes would meet, yeah she w
At home, Adrian sat alone thoughts of her evading his mind again. What was the use of fighting someone who couldn't defend themselves? Even if you defeated them there was no pride in that. Secondly, the girl just didn't deserve all the stress, she deserved to be happy. He didn't have a third reason, except that he felt the need to be there for her when no one else was, he loved the feeling of her leaning on him.He stretched his clamp muscles, which were beginning to ache due to his sitting posture. He thought of how shy and pretty she was, her beautiful eyes, so innocent. Just then he had an idea, then he dug into his pockets and took out one of his iPhones.He unlocked it and dialed, seconds later her sweet voice whispered a small "hello". He let out a sigh, her mare voice played tricks on his senses and his hormones, something he wouldn't advise anyone to tamper with. He had almost forgotten she was still on the line, she whispered another "hello" more shakily and he knew she mus
"Hey, i-i have something for you" Adrian stammered. "What's it PPboy?" Jade answered bubbling on her feet, she was eager to see what he had behind his back."Umm I will show you but on one condition," he said biting his lip. "And what could that be?" She asked him as his eyes drifted to her mouth"Kiss me," he said. Her cheeks heated at once, she had been waiting for it for so long. She leaned in and-There was a splash. "What the hell?" Jade screamed landing on the floor. With a groan, she used her arm to wipe the water off her faceShe looked up to see her assassin, and behold her stood in all her smirking glory, with her hands folded in front of her. She was so mad she just watched her without a word and her sister did not didn't look apologetic but her smirk dropped when she saw how angry Jade was, and she let out an awkward cough."Now sleeping beauty I would like more than anything to know why your alarm clock is outside your window, and why you aren't dressed for school but th
She thought she was ready for it, but how wrong she was. Nothing in this world would have prepared her for it. Absolutely nothing. She wasn't surprised to see students who were in attendance or surprised to see April in the front standing with pride with her triumphant dirty smirk or that there were posters of her most embarrassing moments pasted everywhere It was horrible. That day at the library when Adrian pushed her down. The camera caught her perfectly.They had like, slut and Wanna be written all over the photos and a poster said "Just die already! Christ, her heart broke into a billion pieces and the air left her lungs when she saw her teddy koala bear torn into wicked shreds, everywhere.She knew that bear, it belonged to her. It was Mum's gift to her on her eighth birthday. Jan had fallen dreadfully ill that day so Jade hadn't expected any celebrations, both her parents had left her under the care of a nurse, Miss Rosa a widowed woman in her late thirties to watch over her.
Sunlight peeked into the room through the curtains, maybe that was what woke Adrian up, or maybe it was the dream that Jade was in his bed cuddling so closely to him so comfortable and peaceful especially since she was safe.for a while, he didn't do anything he didn't shake he didn't even try to open his eyes afraid that the weight pressed against him wasn't real. she shifted, pressing her smooth face on the crook of his neck. shivers ran all over him, he loved the feel of it.wait! he wasn't dreaming he peeled his eyes open, she was actually in his room, on his bed, cuddling with him with her face stuck in his neck breathing lightly.he was relieved, she was safe and in his arms, the previous weeks had been hell probably the worst days of her life. they were too cruel to be true and to top it all her sister. Adrian wasn't surprised that Jan had always been sketchy excluding the fact that she had approached him not long before that scandal.he wondered why April and Jan hated the in
That night, he kept steering in the bed like a kid, the distance between them was more than he liked. Instead of snuggling with him, she held on tight to the damn pillow like her life depended on it, and he desperately wanted to replace the pillow . He glared at the damn thing and wished it would just vanish then his little angel would have no choice but to run into his waiting arms. Adrian hated the fact that he had to fight for attention with a mare pillow and he wasn't going to let it win, he tugged the pillow away from her, and half expected her to wake up and ask for the annoying pillow but she didn't wake.Instead, she reached out in her sleep, and in her attempt to pull back her missing pillow, she pulled him in instead. Just what he wanted. He got his chance. He drew closer to her and her hands wrapped them tight around him, the scent of her hair enveloped him.Damn, he was stupid, he couldn't wipe that silly smile off his face, he let out a satisfied sigh and internally pat
The body-rocking kiss ended only when they had lost their breaths, it was rough, wanting, and caring at the same time, he didn't want to redraw away from her, and neither did she. Her hands were around his neck and on his hard chest, she watched him watch her for every swell of her chest, every flutter of her eyes he was mesmerized by her. She didn't say a word for fear that it could ruin everything and she would fall back into a sickening reality.The kiss had answered so many questions for her. Why was she there in his home in the first place, why she was letting him help her, and lastly why did she end up in his arms every single time?She wanted to be around him all the time, she felt safe around him, hell she felt a lot of things about him already but she'd yet to place a label on it She was falling for him but she wasn't supposed. They were very different people entirely and their whole lives didn't even match. He was bold and, charismatic and she was shy and cold almost not th
