Rules We Break

Kehlani Click, click.I snapped. My heart blossomed with pride and happiness as I adored my boyfriend. Elliot….he was effortlessly perfect on ice, radiant and charming. I cheered, my camera lens focused on him, Brookstone High’s golden boy. I captured every single angle, looking forward to editing it to the school's magazine. Then, Elliot's looking towards my direction, I blushed and waved my hands to signal him. “Elliot!” I yelled, trying to get his attention. I shouldn't have leaned in so far. The edge of the rink board was slick from the cold. My unsteady balance made my body tip off. The world faded around as my body fell into the cold hard surface and my camera, destroyed. I winced in pain, the coldness from the ice made my hands numb. There came a general gasp from everyone. “What the fuck, Kehlani!” Elliot skated towards me. My clumsiness seems to make the game stop. I was the centre of attraction. I silently cursed the rink for being unforgivable and betraying me. I chu

Kehlani Maddie cries out again and Elliot shoves Trevor's hands rushing towards her. “Baby, are you okay?” She winced, hiding her belligerence. “She almost choked me.”“I didn't–”“That's enough.” Elliot's cold voice cut through. “I don't ever wanna see you around her and stop trying desperately to be her. You can never be her.”I grimaced in confusion and doubt, watching him shield her away as they left. I would never even attempt to sound like maddie. I'm left standing alone with Trevor. I wanted to say thank you but I swallowed it. The asshole refused to accept my application document. I ran away. The entire class, I'm thinking about Trevor. Not him, but why he didn't take my form just because of an hour late deadline shit and also, why he interrupted in the argument between Maddie, Elliot and I. Gosh. The moment school's over, I clutched my bag ready to go home to work.“So, what are you going to do now?” Olive asked curiously as we strolled out of the hallway. “Nothing. I gu

Kehlani.It took me all the courage In life I had to look Trevor Casper in his eyes to say it. I didn't wait for his response. I grabbed my document and ran faster than Barry Allen. I'm catching my breath in class as I bow my head and the rate at which my heart is accelerating is bad. Did I just say no to him?It's time for history and olive won't be in class, but Trevor offers this subject, I know. I'm lost in thought until students start entering the class, then I notice people at the entrance clearing the way for someone. Trevor. I threw my face immediately as he entered, followed by Maddie and Elliot, holding hands. I can't help but feel uncomfortable. “Hello, class.”The teacher walks in, getting everyone's attention. “Please do well to sit in twos. We're going to do a quick quiz.”The sound of shoes shuffled as people paired. A guy sat with me but Trevor leaned in. “Hey, scram.”I looked up, he was serious, telling the guy who sat with me to leave. Scared by his formidabil

Kehlani's POV Trevor's eyes widened and I'm exhaling deeply to catch my breath. He must have practiced for his game that's why he looked like a hot demigod on this towel. “Uhh, Kehlani. You do realize you're on top of me.” He whispered. Then it dawned on me I truly was on his body. I raised my head slowly. Bunch of heads staring. “Oh my gosh!” I screamed in embarrassment and ran out to the girls locker room this time. “Oh jeez. What are you thinking?” I slapped myself, complaining and stomping my feet angrily. After wasting minutes there, I decided to run to class. “Where did you run to?” Olive scolded me quietly while there was a teacher in our midst. The fact that Olive doesn't know what's going on especially with the advice she gave me bothered me alot. I just didn't know how to tell her yet. “Uh, I had to go throw up.” I lied. “Throw up? What? Are you pregnant?”“No.” I rolled my eyes. “Maybe it's gastritis. In the morning I lay after eating. I'm fine now.”She gives me a l

Trevor's POV I cleaned the stain on her cheeks and we're still in the same position. “Get off of me.” She says. I'm back to my senses and came off immediately. “You pushed me with you. That's why I fell. Gosh. Don't reduce the aura I have. People can't see Trevor falling to the floor.” She chuckled. “Please.” We're both walking to the rink now. Arguing and complaining. I watched keenly how Kehlani viewed the rink. She's looking like she's been here in a while. Of course, she hasn't been here since what Elliot did to her. She sighed, feeling disturbed. We're the only ones here. Early before the rest would come in and the game would start. I could imagine how the memories would flood through her head. The humiliation and crowd and heartbreak. Honestly, I felt for her that day. I just couldn't do anything. “You're good right?” I asked, while we looked down on the ice, hands on the rink. “Um, yeah. I guess.” She played her hands on her chest, that feeling of melancholy. I took he
