39. Very complicated
As soon as Samuel disappeared inside The Bomb, I knew I shouldn’t go in the rose garden right now. I turned on my heels and went to lean on his rusty car, ignoring Thomas.
He, of course, followed me and stopped less than a meter from me. He was just watching me with a perfect, but now unreadable face. I bit the inside of my cheek and raised my eyebrow at him, showing I had no idea what he was doing.
“Are you going to say something, or you will just stand there, enjoying the view?” I challenged him with a smirk.
“Oh, I could tell you so many things right now. Half of them the opposite of the other half,” he responded, nervously.
I smiled at his answer, thinking maybe he had mixed fe

My first reaction would have been to run back upstairs and lock myself in my room, but Alex’s words caught my attention. Taking some steps back, I crossed my arms on my towel and gave him a look that said I-don’t-trust-you-but-you-can-speak. He seemed to be carefully considering what he was going to say. I could see an apology all over his face. Was he playing with me? Was he going to lie to me like I feared Thomas would when we met? Alex’s behavior reminded me of a scared sheep, left outside after nightfall. “Speak or get out of my way,” I bit with a confident voice. My hair was still dripping wet and tiny water drops were tickling the skin on my forearms, falling on the floor. I was feeling uncomfortable and naked. I just wanted to hear whatever he had to say and go somewhere where he was not. “I've wanted to talk to you since the day after the party. When I sobered up, I couldn’t stop thinking of what I said and did…” Alex’s eyes were glued to his shoes while he was speaking,
Paint me a heart 41. It's fine
Linda’s message said that she must kiss the person she cares the most here, but all the people were strangers until a few hours ago. I was the only person she could pick if she wanted to follow the rules. We stared at each other and silence fell around us, everybody waited to see what Linda would do. I questioned in my head if she would do such a thing and why I should agree to it if it’s not my message. It was hers. She was still gaping, and I figured she must be waiting for me to say something to help her escape from this. I relaxed, but I was surprised by her sudden move, as her raspberry glossed lips touched mine. I was stunned and did not respond to her kiss. Linda pulled away to look at my face, a breath away. Then again she gently graced her li
Paint me a heart 42. Nothing changed
It was a cold, fall morning and the clothes Tina picked for me were actually very comfortable. I felt cozy in the warm black vest, made of soft wool. Its treads were delicately twisted on the edges on its whole length up, reaching almost to my knees. Under it, I had a simple white button shirt, tucked in dark blue jeans. No heels for me today, as cute black flats finished off my attire. I pulled up my hair in a messy bun, banishing Tina out of my room, so I could finally leave and meet Linda. Driving with half of my attention, I managed to reach the school parking without creating a car crash. When I neared the usual place where I park my car, I saw Linda sheepishly scrolling through her phone, resting on a bench. “Please tell me you are not breaking up with me,” I attempted a joke walking towards her. She lifted her head to look at me with a faint smile. Something squeezed my heart, causing real pain when I saw the dark circles under her cute almond-shaped eyes. “Tell me!” I demand
Paint me a heart 43. Black and white
I walked to the back of the house, followed by the cold attitude of the hot guy I liked. I had prepared the place where we were to stay for the next two or three hours. Ivalina made some kind of Bulgarian brownies with orange crusts, and I got a thermos with hot white chocolate. Two teacups and a big plate of the doughy delicacy were resting on a small table with two garden chairs nearby. “It’s a little chilly today and with the ocean breeze, it’s even colder. I thought that we might need a warm drink and a snack while we were here,” I explained and showed the table to the famous boy. “Thank you. I have no idea what this is, but I am actually a little hungry,” Thomas said, and I smiled. There was a saying I knew from Ivalina, and I secretly hoped it was true. She often told me that “the way to a man’s heart goes

I struggled with my concentration, as I made a sketch of Thomas’s perfect features. After that, I needed to add every curve and detail that made him so hot and irresistible…or maybe he was that alluring only for me because of the way he was treating me, and the sparks he ignited with only a simple touch or intense glance in my direction. I knew I had a huge crush on him, and he had some feelings for me. Thomas wasn’t aware of how attractive he was for me. I was ready to let go of my defenses and let him in my heart. I wasn’t going to confess anything like that, or at least I wasn’t planning on it. Just next time when he wants me as his girlfriend--I would not hesitate to show him how my feelings towards him had evolved. Fighting my thoughts, I was making precise moves on the canvas with my right hand. My eyes were stopping on every part of his face, my breath
Paint me a heart 45. Not you too
Standing in front of the mirror, I was amazed at Tina’s never-ending ideas to pick the wrong style for me. I had long leather pants, a long-sleeved top, matching and both snow-white. Some gold-ish zippers were closing tiny pockets over my breasts and under my waist. I felt like a white snake or something. I love white, but without the black, I felt like half of me and like I was a magnet for random stares at school.I put on tar eyeliner and mascara in a futile attempt to help even the fight between my favorite colors. I kept my hair in a ponytail, happy Tina wasn’t able to push her hairstyle ideas on me today.It was another cold morning and chills ran through my body, causing my hairs to stand erect. Unhappy with the thin leather clothes I had on, I climbed in my car, turning on the heat and the radio. I was in a mood to find a new favorite band o

I gaped at my step-brother, but no words came out of my mouth. So I am not good for a spy. “Why were you following me? Did you tell someone?” His face morphed from threatening to worried and angry. “What do you think you saw?” he tilted his head with a menacing glare. Behind Steven, I saw Samuel coming our way, and I came to my senses. I did not want to cause a scandal, I wanted to be finished with this right this second. If we had to go out for this--we would go out. “I saw enough to know you might be in trouble, but I--” I started confidently, but he rudely cut me off. “It’s not your fucking business to know what I do! Stay out of it, do you hear me?” He raised his voice, some people turning their heads in our direction to steal a look.

“Why are you standing in the dark?” I asked Thomas, trying to take a step towards the switch to turn the light on, but he made a move like we were playing basketball, and I was running with the ball. “What are you doing?” I breathed out when our faces nearly touched. “I don’t know…it’s beyond me,” his warm breath caressed my chin, his eyes were burning with passion. He looked like a vampire or a bloodthirsty werewolf from a movie--barely being able to control himself. I bit my lips to prevent a smile and joked, keeping my voice low. “Don’t eat me, please.” Thomas narrowed his eyes at me, taking a step back to come to his senses. I giggled, still holding my towel tightly. “Eat you?” he finally asked. “Yeah, like in a scar
