The rain was no longer drizzling, it had become very heavy. Lucy stood at a corner close to the library. She felt like a fool, her floral dress had become wet and was clinging to her skin. Every minute that passed showed how much Adrian didn’t care about her. He had promised to pick her up, just to see if she would wait.

“He’s not coming Lucy" Jonathan said.

"He... he might have had an emergency," Lucy stammered, her voice was trembling from the cold. She clutched her phone, the screen was d

    8The rain was no longer drizzling, it had become very heavy. Lucy stood at a corner close to the library. She felt like a fool, her floral dress had become wet and was clinging to her skin. Every minute that passed showed how much Adrian didn’t care about her. He had promised to pick her up, just to see if she would wait. “He’s not coming Lucy" Jonathan said."He... he might have had an emergency," Lucy stammered, her voice was trembling from the cold. She clutched her phone, the screen was dark, Adrian had still not responded. "The weather is bad. Maybe the car...""The car is fine. I saw him leave the lounge an hour ago smiling," Jonathan lied, or perhaps he just knew. He didn't care, he only cared about the girl shivering in the dark. He reached into the back compartment of his bike and pulled out a spare black helmet. "Get on. I'm taking you home.""I can’t," she whispered, looking at the sleek but dangerous machine. "I should wait. What if he shows up and I’m gone? It would loo

  • Rejected by One, Wanted by Another    Under the Rain

    Lucy sat silently in the library. She sat at a mahogany table, her eyes kept moving from her phone to her textbook every few minutes. For the first time in months, she felt hopeful. Adrian had texted her that morning. Four simple words: Library. 9:00 PM. Picking you up.When she asked why, he had followed it up with something that made her heart stop: We need to discuss the wedding date.He is coming around, Lucy thought to herself. She instantly felt relieved, her fingers tracing the concealer Zoe had applied to cover her bruised wrist. Maybe he realized he went too far, maybe he wants to make things right. “You’re smiling at your phone again.” A deep voice said from across the table. Lucy looked up to see Jonathan. He was leaning back in a chair opposite her, with some research papers spread out on his table. He hadn't mentioned the incident in the courtyard, but the way he watched her was different, he was more protective now. "Adrian is coming to pick me up," she said, unable

    The dorm room was quiet. Lucy sat on the edge of her bed staring at her bruised wrist. It looked worse now under her study light. She could still feel Adrian’s grip on her. Zoe swung the door open and walked in with shopping bags. “Hey Lucy, you’ll not believe what happened….” She stopped halfway as she noticed Lucy looking sad. “Lucy what happened ? Why are you sitting in the dark ? Zoe asked as she dropped her bags and walked to Lucy. Lucy didn’t say anything, she just lifted the sleeve of her dress to shoe Zoe her bruised wrist. “Oh my goodness. Did you fall or hit your hand somewhere?”“It was Adrian”. Lucy started sobbing. “He saw me talking to Jonathan in school. He didn’t even want to listen to me , he just grabbed my hand ““Oh my love, I’m so sorry.” Zoe was furious. She took Lucy’s hand and patted the bruise. “What could have gotten into him? Why would he do that. I know he’s stressed but this is too much”. “He told me I was pathetic and that I was ruining our family’

    The following afternoon Jonathan and Lucy sat on the school field. They were supposed to be revising their final statement for Professor Harrison’s report, but Jonathan was mocking Lucy’s idea on love. “So you’re trying to say”. Jonathan was amused. “that he waited ten long years to tell her he loved her because he could only write a letter, why did he not walk up to her house?”Lucy laughed. “Jonathan that was 4 decades ago, things didn’t work like that.”A few students passed by and most of them looked at Jonathan and Lucy suspiciously. “Well that just sounds like excuses for a guy who was just a coward.”For a while, Lucy forgot about all her troubles. When she was with Jonathan, she didn’t have to be the perfect Quinn daughter. She just had to be herself, the girl who loved romantic books. But soon, things went back to normal. Someone marched towards them. “ I thought I told you to stop being pathetic Lucy. What are you doing with this wretched scholarship student?”Lucy loo

    Lucy hesitated, then she stretched out her hand too. He held her and lifted her up with ease. She was surprised how large and firm his hands were. She thought Jonathan was taking her to the cafeteria in school, but he led her past the college gate. “Where are we going?” Lucy asked, as she tried to walk as fast as him. “Somewhere you don’t know, somewhere where we don’t get to see fake smiles and inflated prices “He took her to a small coffee shop not too far from school. She was surprised she had never seen or heard about it. There was a big sign post with the inscription “Love and Latte”. The place was old and rustic. It smelled like baked beans and wood. Jonathan didn’t ask her what she wanted, he just ordered two medium sized coffees and led her to a table with two worn out chairs. He sat opposite her and pulled out a sketchbook from his bag and started drawing. “You are not going to ask why I was crying?” Lucy asked as she sipped her hot coffee. “Okay, why were you crying o

    The lecture had come to an end, but Lucy could not stop thinking of everything Jonathan had said to her. A slave. She tried to forget about it as she packed her books into her bags ready to leave the class. Just as she was about to leave, she saw Zoe and Adrian. Adrian was whispering something to Zoe… probably about the project. They looked happy. The looked… like a couple, like they were meant for each other. “I would see you at the library tonight Adrian”. Zoe screamed, so loud Lucy was sure everyone heard her. “Sure Zoe” Adrian said. Zoe turned to wave goodbye to Lucy and hurriedly left the class. That was it, Lucy could hear her heat beating loudly in her chest. She forced herself to go after Adrian. As he was about to reach the end of the hallway, Lucy called out. “Adrian”He didn’t stop or even slow down. He turned to the right wing and walked even faster. “Adrian please.” She said as she tried to keep up to his pace. He finally stopped, but the look he gave her made h
