Chapter 20It was kinda stupid of me to think of what'll happen to him when his dad sees the picture, rather than think of what mom would think of me when she sees the picture.He didn't seem bothered about it but he didn't talk to me throughout the day.The one time I bumped into him, just when I'd finished lectures he just stared and left.I expected him to annoy me as usual even though I hated it whenever he does that, it felt weird.I sighed as I walked across the hall and for the first time, it was empty.Then I was ambushed.Arms around me tugged behind my back. I let out a scream but later a hand went over my hand.I stumbled back and fell on my butt, the hand finally left me and I opened my eye to see who it was, but it was pitch black. With the red light hovering over the box, I concluded I was in the janitor's closet."Who the fuck's there?""It's Zeke." A voice whispered and then turned on the light.And there stood Zeke, for Strawberry's sake, this is the second time!I ha
Chapter 1I sighed loudly as I put on my headphones and scrolled down the screen of my phone in search of music or anything to keep me busy.It has been six months since I've been waiting for the admission letter into the college of my dreams.Holland College.Oh, how I love that place.It's a private college.It was a dream place for any young teenage girl like me would love to go to.Besides my girl bestie, Ciara already got admission in and is hoping I get to join her soon enough.I sighed again before pressing my thumb on one of Taylor's Swift songs.I love her songs and I see her as a model.I hummed the ongoing song as I walked down the stairs, then headed to the kitchen.I brought out a box of cereal.Frizzle pops.Oh, how I love this cereal.I grinned as I poured a large quantity in a bowl, added milk from the carton, and stirred it up.I walked to the living room, then picke
Chapter 2"Wow." Was all I could say as mom parked the car in front of the college.An enormous gray stoned manor towered above us.I was marveled at its size, probably seven times bigger than my house."I'm glad you like your new hostel," mom said.I gripped the car seat, wincing at her words. You could say I was shocked to death.Everything seemed to move so fast.Just two days ago, I was seating on the sofa, with my phone and frizzle pop in front of me.And here I am, going to be parentless, in college.Before I could say anything, mom honked the car twice."Mom, what are you doing?" I asked nervously.Yeah, I was nervous about meeting new people."I'm just alerting Cole," mom said and hopped out of the car before I could respond.I heard the trunk of the car open and my suitcase was dragged out."Oh shit!" I muttered.Cole was dressed in a white rugged shirt and shorts.
Chapter 3I turned immediately and saw a guy seated on the rumpled bed.My cheeks burst with color and a strange heat rocked through me. My nerves were on fire. My heart was having a seizure."How long have you been here?" I managed to ask."Can't tell," he answered getting off the bed.Oh my gosh! he probably saw me dressing up."Are you here to clean off because I don't remember calling the janitor," he said and sat on the bed."This is my room." I said pointing at my suitcase, "Get used to it."He cocked his head right and walked closer to me.He was good six feet tall above my 5'4 height.He had tousled light auburn hair that stuck out in some places.It covered most of his forehead and reached his chocolate brown eyes.They reminded me of the eyes of a puppy.I guessed that's how he gets t
Chapter 4It was harder to sleep than I thought, Zeke wasn't even the problem.I slept kinda early and he was probably somewhere playing snooker or whatever guys do at night.But I kinda missed my old bed and the warmth it gave me.I know it sounds dumb, even to me.I lay in bed and stared at the ceiling, I sat up and pinched my self maybe I would stop daydreaming. But sadly, I wasn't."I feel like a mess, ain't I?" I asked nobody in particular."The nerd's a huge mess!" Zeke's voice yelled.That's when I realized I wasn't alone in the room.I'd gotten used to talking to myself and asking myself random and dumb questions.I bolted upright and a huge mass of curly brown hair came tumbling around me and spilled around my face and shoulder, this is what I get for not combing my hair before getting into bed.
Chapter 5"Alright, we're going to do a practical." Prof. Kendricks our chemistry lecturer said.We were doing the volumetric analysis experiment.I loved chemistry so full of exciting practicals; Science is my thing.You're a nerd...Get out of my head Zeke!"Are you alright?" someone asked behind me.I turned and saw the prettiest grey eyes that could make you fall in love.Damien Clement.I had cold feet and was numb for a minute"Yeah..." I trailed off after what seemed to be like forever."Looks like we're partners." He said and sat beside me, then we began the experiment by putting the acid in the burette."Would you like to do the honors?" He asked."Sure." I smile then took the acid and poured it into the burette."So I he
Chapter 6"Just a few more touches girl and you'll be a princess," Ciara said."Now for your makeup.," She said."This is taking forever!" I whined."Hold still!" She yelled, trying to fix the eyelashes."Now you can look," she said.I stood up and looked at myself in that mirror...I looked different.My brown hair was all curled and pinned up.I wore a white chiffon button design high slit skirt, it exposed one side of my leg.Ciara said I had to look spontaneous because it's freaking Damien Baxter's party.While she had a white button-down on.***"I'll be right back," Ciara said and left to meet the guy who'd winked at her.The scene in front of me made me feel sick, loud music blaring into my ears, stupid teenagers making out behind the green bushes, i
"Oh no he didn't!" Ciara half yelled."Yeah and I'm pretty sure it was intentional and can you believe he didn't apologize," I said."That fucking manwhore is gonna pay," She said clenching her fists."I'm gonna make him go on his damn knees and apologize.""He'll only frustrate my life the more," I said."That's why I'm here, I'm gonna chop off his dick and feed it to the dogs.""That's hilarious."I looked over her shoulder and saw Zeke staring keenly at the water.He was on the other end of the pool, busy splashing pool water with his foot.He had only shorts on and was shirtless."Are you even listening?" Ciara asked as she shook my shoulders."Huh?" I answered."Were you-" she paused then looked over her shoulder, then gave me a skeptical look."Don't gimme that kind of look," I said and then stood up."It's kinda boring just staying here." Ciara pouted."I know, I know.""How about we crash in over there and watch a movie?" She asked.At first, I thought she'd gone insane."Comm
