He's not worth it. Jason Davenport is not worth it. He's not worth it. I refuse to react. I refuse to give him another reason to pick on me.I repeated this in my head as I walked through the gates and out of his mansion.Two hours.Two hours working on OUR project. All on my own. And he didn't even offer me a single drop of water.I knew he was an asshole. But this. . . it was inhumane.I didn't expect him to be nice to me or anything. But this was something else.And I was famished, I felt like I would drop anytime soon.Just 4 days and it'll all be over, I reminded myself. I just need to finish on time.I checked my phone. 4pm. Nana would be worried.With that thought spurring me on, I walked faster.As I got to a street sign-from there a 15 minute walk to my house-I heard someone call out my name.Huh? That's weird. I don't really know anyone around here.I'm probably just hearing things, I concl

Amelia ForbesIt seemed like my bad luck was on a roll today because, I soon as I walked out of the classroom door-wiping the remaining tears on my face and still massaging my neck-Kimberly and three of her minions waylaid me. They backed me into a corner and forcefully led me into the girls' bathroom. As we got in, Aneeka secured the door and took her position directly behind Kimberly.Kimberly looked at me, one hand on her waist and her right hip protruding in her favorite pose. "What the fuck is going on between you and Adrian?" She spat, shooting me a glare. I swallowed. "What do you mean?" I asked, trying to buy time. Malia rolled her eyes saying, "Bitch, don't act dumb.""I don't know what you're talking about," I repeated, crossing my hands in front of my chest.Kimberly walked up to me. Out of nowhere she grabbed a fistful of my hair and dragged on it. I let out a sharp yelp, shoving her backwards with all the strength

Amelia ForbesFrom everything Nana had told me, I gathered that I had caught a really bad cold walking under the rain and I'd been unconscious for days.Realizing what that meant, I panicked. That means I've missed school, homework, maybe even tests. Nana noticed this and communicated to me that the school was aware, so any tests or homework would still be made available to me when I was feeling strong enough. Relieved, I settled down and resumed my conversation with Nana. I also found out that a guy had come to see me. And from Nana's description, it was no other than Adrian Goldfield. I had mixed feelings about the whole thing. Jason had already warned me about associating with his best friend. And he wouldn't take it lightly if he found out Adrian had been to my house. But on the other hand, Adrian was the only one who cared to check up on me when I missed school. I couldn't just ignore that. He'd gotten the drugs prescribed for

Jason DavenportI didn't have to sneak out because dad already knew I was going out. Not like he could stop me anyway. But the way downstairs was so long. I didn't feel like it right now. So I just climbed out my bedroom window, using the spaces in the walls as support. As I was almost at ground level, I heard someone moving below, close to the trees.Shit. I wasn't sneaking out, yes. But I didn't want dad to find out that I had been using my bedroom as an escape route. He'd probably switch rooms for me. And that'd be shit. I descended slowly, trying to be quiet. Thank God it was dark. Else it wouldn't have ended well. I just needed to get the fuck out this house. I stopped my descent when I heard Ashley's voice. Was she arguing with someone? I looked down to check, and sure enough she was alone. But I could see the dim light from her iPhone, so I figured she was on a call. Why did she have to come outside for the

Amelia ForbesI sat in the library all day solving Jason's homework assignments. It was easy because I had done mine already, so I remembered most of the answers. My chest was heavy and my eyes hurt. I was simply exhausted. I wondered again why I couldn't just stay home and take all my tests and exams there. School was the most exhausting place to be, for me. Topped up with the constant bullying. I needed to get out of here. Just 170 days left, Mel. You're doing great. You're doing great. Just. . . hold on.All I had to do was stay out of their way. Jason and Kimberly. And avoid Adrian. I'd be okay.I felt a second round of tears coming up but I shook it off and continued my work. Almost as if Adrian had heard me mentioning him in my head, he walked into the library.I said a silent prayer, hoping he wouldn't notice me. But he did, obviously. When had my prayers ever been answered. He waved at me from the door and proceed

Jason DavenportI lay on my bed exhausted. I'd just gotten home from school after a 3 hour long practice. Coach was getting us ready for a game against St John's High; the current state champions. So we've been training hard for it. I guess this was good in some way, as I usually got home late as a result of the training. And as soon as I had dinner, I went straight to bed.This actually helped me forget that I was grounded. Well, except on the weekends when I had absolutely nothing to do.Well, Dad was leaving soon. And obviously the guilt of leaving me behind would prompt him to lift the ban. And voilà, I'm not grounded anymore. I just hoped he would let me have my car back as well. I stopped running my fingers through my hair as I thought of Ashley. Ever since I'd seen her that night underneath the tree talking to someone on the phone, I'd been suspicious. Was she planning to rob him? Hurt him?My heart skipped a beat

Amelia ForbesIt had been nearly two hours since I met Ashley at Sally's. And although the yogurt had been terrible and what I needed was to sleep it away, I didn't go home. Nana had volunteer work on Saturdays so she wasn't home. And no way was I going home right now to sit there all alone. I would think to a very unhealthy point and probably end up crying and feeling sorry for myself. So I just walked. I walked round Wayne County. Well, it was a small town so it wasn't so difficult. From Sally's I walked past Matty's, carefully of course, to avoid being seen. As I looked through the glass windows at Matty's, I could see people, guys and girls in groups, talking, laughing, having fun. That was me once, I thought. Feeling the sadness coming, I walked past as quickly as I could to shake it off. It wasn't the time for it. After a tour round Wayne County, the only place I hadn't been to was the park. It'd been years since I'd been to the p

Jason DavenportI pretended not to know that Dad walked into my room. It was 6am. I would soon have to get up and get ready for school. But for now, I really didn't feel like seeing him or talking to him. So I pretended to be asleep. He stood at the side of my bed watching me. Sighing when he saw that I was asleep, he gently sat on my bed and buried his head in his hands.He looked tired and stressed out. Maybe he really was having a hard time. I wondered if maybe I was being too hard on him. . .But I banished that thought as quickly as it came. He deserved it. He was the one trying to replace Mom and change everything. We were great on our own before Ashley showed up. And still, he was too blind to see that the only thing she was doing was ruining our lives and our relationship with each other. It'd come back to bite him in the ass. And for sure he'd regret ever trying to replace my mother. Like he always did. The thought of letting Ash

Amelia ForbesI was determined to make everything go right today. Maybe not perfect. But just right. Hopefully, good enough to not get into trouble with anyone; Kimberly or Jason. I didn't think I could take any insults or bullying right now. I was weak; physically, mentally, emotionally. You name it. I needed a break from it all. Which was why I'd rounded up the remainder of the project over the weekend. All that was left to do now was fill out Jason's project manual, as I had filled out mine already, and give him a summary of everything I'd done in case we were required to present it in class. As I walked through the hallway with the homework from last week-we were asked to write an essay-I searched for Jason to hand his to him. Easiest way to stay safe from trouble with Jason? Find him before he found you. If he asked me for it first, it'd only be another opportunity to pick on me. And that's exactly what I was trying to prevent. I c
