Thank you so much for reading. What do you think?
The journey back to H City was somehow not what the students expected. The teachers were able to find out how the drinks got I'muggled in and saw that Daniel alongside his friends brought the deal in. It was so annoying and made the teachers angry so they gave them a piece of their mind. No one was laughing or talking. It was a weird atmosphere. Hera was a bit angry as well because anything could have happened under the influence of alcoholic drinks. She felt a bit irresponsible for not focusing on the students because she believed that they would be able to take care of themselves only for her to get disappointed at the slightest moment. Not to talk about students that were planning their eighteenth birthday for something like that - Ashley was a perfect example. She could not help thinking about what she did last night as she believed that she wasn't in the right state of mind. She remembered kissing Alex on the cheeks but this morning, when she woke up, she found hersel
"Detective Brown, I think it's high time you dropped that case. It's not really in need anymore." A cop patted Brown's shoulder as they left the crime scene. He didn't wait for Brown's response before leaving. Brown sighed and licked his dry lips. He looked around the crime scene in front of him. Things were really getting out of hand and was he supposed to turn a blind eye to it? How was that possible? He wasn't brought up that way especially to see the less powerful suffer in silence. Then Brown sighted another man and it seemed as if the solution to his problem had been found. He quickly approved him. "Sire, good day." "Good day, Detective. How was the weekend?" The man asked him. "Well, I spent the weekend working on the case only for your fellow cop who told me to stop working on it. I found it hard to believe because we all know the real truth of how..." The cop stopped walking and placed his hand on Brown's shoulder. "Listen, Detective. The order
Ashley opened her laptop feeling relieved after the day's work. She was so tired from teaching Alex and also learning on her own. Her Family was downstairs watching the news while she just excused herself to her room. Alex left her house not too long and she felt so fulfilled for helping him out because he seemed to be a little bit lost. He actually answered a few questions correctly and ask many as well which she answered correctly. Ashley made sure not to annoy him or overstep the mark however it has been one hour since he left, and hopefully he might have gotten home. "Ouch. That's enough thinking. There are more episodes to catch on Netflix." She whispered to herself and grabbed her laptop but then her phone which was by her side started ringing and she had no choice but to neglect the laptop for it. The phone call was from a strange number. She was at first hesitant to answer it because, her father being a detective, had warned her to be careful as picking up stra
"I can't believe that she turned our friendly meeting into a dating site," Sammie said while gritting her teeth. Josh chuckled nervously and collected the knife that she was using to peel her oranges because she wasn't using it anymore and he was scared that the result of that wouldn't be that good. Ahead of them, outside the house, beside the swimming pool, the two friends were watching Alex and Ashley talking. Ashley didn't want to make him feel uncomfortable among them because the latter wasn't used to many fun activities yet. "I mean, if she actually brought him to come and mingle with us...this isn't how to mingle." Sammie sucked the life out of the poor orange furiously. Josh gulped and slowly turned her around. "Let's have something else to discuss, okay? She is finally having a moment with a guy. Don't let us disturb or ruin her precious moments." He suggested. "I really wasn't expecting you to show up but you did anyways." Ashley smiled as she played with
"Maybe you should come home with some friends. That will be helpful." Jonathan said as he sipped his tea. Alex looked at his shirtless body and simply walked past him. "I am not interested." He answered. "Do you know that if she finally gets to know that you also mean the opposite of what you said, you're a goner?" Jonathan teased him. Alex huffed and threw his backpack across his shoulder before walking out of the house. His brother wouldn't waste any time teasing him around the house. While he didn't like it, Alex wasn't complaining about it. This was the only thing that kept him sane these days. As he was walking to the bus stop, three black cars rode past him in a hurry. He paused in his steps and turned to look at them. Until the cars left his sight, he didn't take a step. "You are not planning to stand there all the days of your life, right?" An aged woman asked, interrupting Alex's thoughts. He then continued walking. ~~~~~~~ Brown crossed over
"Just leave, I am going to pay you when I have it," Jonathan yelled at the landlord after pushing him out. Alex was coming back from school, his hands were inside his hoodie's pockets and he stopped to watch what was going on with a frown. "The two of you should pay me before the weekends or else, you will be out on the street, begging for a place to stay. Humph!" He stomped his foot against the ground and glared at the siblings before walking away. Jonathan sighed and ran his hand through his hair. This was why he didn't want to rent an apartment with old people. They were always traditional and hard to beat because of RESPECT. He turned around only to get a sight of his brother. His lips parted slightly, unable to say anything as Alex was looking at him dead in the eye with an unexplainable facial reaction so he relented. ~~~~~ "How many months do we owe him?" Alex asked as he took off his shirt. His muscular built body was revealed along with a series of ta
It's been a few days and Ashley was back on her feet. With the help of her friends, she was able to know how else to run her academics without being left behind even though she was a little bit upset that Alex didn't ask after her. How could he be that cruel? To top it all, he wasn't always around and she felt like trying his brother's phone number but it felt weird to her. Wouldn't that be a disturbance to them? Who was she to start reporting Alex to his brother? It just wouldn't sound right so she let it be and just focused on herself. This morning, Ashley woke as early as she could without waiting for anyone to pressurize her about leaving her bed. She arranged her bed and quickly rushed to the bathroom to brush her teeth. She stood in front of the mirror, happily staring at her neat and cute outfit before applying her minimal makeup and then her favorite orange-scented perfume. She didn't let down her hair today as she wanted to give herself a new look, only if s
The teacher for the next subject was already in the class but because she wasn't ready to teach yet, the Students had free time to still talk among themselves, chit-chatting with their friends on the phone or beside them. The fight that happened yesterday had already spread around the school with different translations as to what could have led to it. While some said that it was because of jealousy, some believed that it was because of a guy but Ashley wasn't known for such. She barely had time to fight with someone else especially a lousy person like Amelia over a guy so this kept pushing them into the realm of doubt as time went by. Ashley was even angry at herself knowing the punishment that she had been given. She was so annoyed that her cheeks were puffed up and every five minutes, she would mumble incoherent words at Amelia for putting her in this insane position. Now she felt dejected that she even stoop so low to her level yesterday. What her parents said yesterday was comin
