Maxine's Point of ViewAfter sipping the soup Louis gave me I left the room and went downstairs to go to the living room. When I arrived, the five men were gone. Where are they? I just shrugged and walked to the garden. When I saw a small rock I kicked it and then I ran closer to it and kicked it again. That’s just what I was doing while heading to the mansion's garden, until I heard Byron’s voice calling to me."Tardy!"I stopped kicking the rock before I lifted my head and looked for Byron. He waved at me so I noticed him immediately. He took shelter under a big tree and he wasn't the only one there because his cousins were also there. Louis waved at me as Byron did. Sid, on the other hand, has his attention on the phone, he's definitely playing again. Giles just smiled. And Alyn... he was reading a book.I sparingly smiled at them and remained standing away from them. I would also like to take shelter there but what if they don't want me to be with me? Especially with Alyn, I'm sur
Maxine's Point of View"Wendy," Louis called me with a smile.When Louis walked, Alyn exited. Damn. Don't tell me Alyn knows? Gosh. Why does it have to be Alyn? Why him when it can be Giles. Why does Alyn have to be the first to know? I want to devour the earth right now!"H-Hey," I greeted Louis and forced a smile."We're going to play jenga, wanna join us?" He asked.Jenga? Is that the tower of blocks?"I would like to but..." I scratched my head, "...I don't know how to play that.""Neither do I," he chuckled, "That's okay, Wendy." Then he held my wrist, "Play with us, hmm?"I just smiled. How can I refuse if he makes puppy eyes in front of me?He pulled me out of the kitchen and carried me into the living room. Gosh! I forgot to drink water before going with Louis. Argh, it's Alyn's fault!We found Sid, Giles and Byron in the living room. Jenga is in the middle of them. Louis and I sat next to his cousins."Okay," Giles clapped, "Who will go first?""You," Sid replied pointing at
Maxine's Point of ViewAlyn turned around after he picked up the ball that had hit my head earlier. Even before Byron could return, I got up to chase Alyn.I was only a few steps away when I heard Sid's loud shout, "Oh my ghad!"I immediately turned around as my index finger covered my nostrils. The bleeding still doesn't stop and Byron still doesn't come."What the hell, bro?" Giles turned to Sid who was obviously surprised by Sid's sudden shout. "What's your problem?"Sid turned to Giles as Sid pointed at me, "Missy..." his finger was trembling while pointing at me.Giles and Louis turned to me and then looked back at Sid again, "What's wrong with Wendy?" Louis asked, obviously wondering."She's bleeding, bro!" Sid replied that his eyes were still getting bigger."We know! We all saw that her nose was bleeding. Are you crazy?" Giles replied. Sid nodded. My forehead is now furrowed, and I'm confused because of what Sid is up to, what's the problem with this one? Could it be that a s
Maxine's Point of ViewWe got out of his car when we arrived at a nearby convenience store. I immediately dug in my pocket to find my wallet but my eyes widened and I was stunned when I couldn't find a wallet there."Why?" Alyn asked when he noticed I wasn't moving."I don't have my wallet in my pocket," then I averted my eyes from him, "I'll just go back to the mansion and get my wallet. Don't worry you don't have to go with me anymore, I'll just walk. " I said."Use my card," He replied and threw his card on me. He turned his back and walked towards the convenience store.This guy, tsk!I bent down and picked up the card he had dropped. I stared at that before deciding to use his card. I went into the convenience store and searched where the girly stuff was placed. I get two wrapped pads before going to the counter. By the way, where is Alyn? Didn't he come in here earlier? Why didn't I notice him after I entered?I turned around to look for Alyn and when I saw him I just rolled my
Maxine's Point of View"Here," he handed me the clothes together with a towel. I took it, "You may take your time." He said and I smiled.After a few minutes I was done taking a shower. It's embarrassing to take a bath in another house especially since you don't know who the owner is but I have no choice so I just took it. I can't let myself get lost and smell blood, that's more embarrassing.I went straight to the living room where he was sitting while watching television. He turned to me so I smiled and approached him, "Uhm, can I ask your name?" I asked the angelic man."Troy Francisco," he held out his hand in front of me, "And you are?"I smiled, "Maxine Wards," I replied and shook hands with him, "You can call me Max for short." I added."Okay, Max." He giggled then released our hand. "How are your clothes? Are you comfortable?"I nodded, "Yep. Thank you, again.""That's good to hear. Anyway, I cooked some food this morning but because I was the only person here, I didn't finish
Maxine's Point of ViewThe next day, when I entered the school, everyone was looking at me. Well, it's not new but there seems to be something in their minds about me now. I just bowed and ignored them. I just walked straight until I bumped into something."Tsk! Look where you're going!" Said the curly woman I bumped into."I'm sorry," I apologize. I'm not going to complain, It was really my fault because I was not looking at the road."Sorry, my ass." She said before she walked past me.I just sighed. I hate going to school! Or... not?A smile flashed on my lips when I saw the familiar face of a man. I can't be wrong, he is—"Troy!" The man in the football uniform called him.Troy turned to him, then glanced at his feet. He bent down to pick up the football and then threw it at the man who called him.I just gasped. I wanted to approach him but I was embarrassed. He was also talking to three men and I think they were his friends. Hmp. I just continued walking again and did not approa
Maxine's Point of View“I told you not to fucking touch her!!” at the strength of Alyn's voice, even I was scared."A-Alyn, I'm hurting," Ferries' voice trembled, fear was obvious in her voice and even in her eyes. It was as if she would cry anytime."Do you think I care?" Alyn's eyes narrowed before violently releasing the collar of Ferries' uniform, “Run. I will give you 20 seconds to disappear from my sight. Run!” After Alyn shouted out, Ferries ran in panic.Alyn took a deep breath before turning to me. I sat down then averted my eyes from him when I saw how dark his aura was. I didn't do anything but I couldn't help but be afraid of him. Probably because his black eyes were staring at me too dark. He approached me and squatted in front of me. He grabbed my chin and forced my face to face him. His eyebrows met when he saw my look, "Tss," he clicked his tongue. “Don't you know how to fight? You don't take care of your face. ”I was bored with what he said. What do I not know how t
Maxine's Point of ViewAs they said, I bought my food for lunch and went straight to the rooftop because I didn't have anyone to eat with in the cafeteria. People might just look at me there. Moreover, I prefer the rooftop because apart from being quiet, the air is fresh. Unlike in the cafeteria, it’s hot and there’s a lot of people. I’m sure I’ll only get their attention if I eat there.When I got to the rooftop I immediately removed the food I had bought from the plastic. I was about to eat my food because I was already hungry when the rooftop door suddenly opened loudly. My ghad! It startled me!I turned to my back where the door was, and my brows met in an instant when I saw Alyn, “What are you doing here? Aren't you with your cousins?”"Do I have to ask your permission to come here?" he came over and sat down next to me. I was surprised when he dropped his food next to my food.I immediately removed my gaze from the food and turned my gaze back to him, "That's not what I meant."
