Chapter 57.

A LISTENING EAR.

Clary's POV.

With tears in my eyes, I glanced at the door for a few seconds and then dropped my gaze. Leaving her office didn't seem like a good option. In fact, it was never an option to begin with.

If I wanted to graduate, and if I wanted to do so with good grades, then I knew that I had to open up to her. If anything, I'd come too far to spend an extra year in school. With that thought in mind, I turned to face her.

“Have you taken a decision now?” she asked, with a raised brow. “If so, tell me.”

“Things have not been going well with me lately.” I said, blinking back tears. “There is no help from anywhere; it's just me who's been taking care of myself.”

“What about your parents?” she asked, narrowing her gaze at the words as she leaned forward and clasped her hands on her desk. “Where are they? Are they dead or separated?”

“No, that's not the case.” I said, wiping my face with the back of my hand. “They just don't have enough to support me, and I do

Meanwhile, Gracie and Hayley had gotten down from the car. I couldn't say exactly why Gracie decided to come to my house with me. Although, I tried to talk her out of it, but she insisted. Greg could have driven her down to her home, and with that they could have the conversation that they couldn't while they were still at his place. However, it seemed like she had other things on her mind.“Will she be fine?” I asked, my voice laced with concern. “It seemed quite serious back there.” “Of course, she will.” he said, with a brief smile. “It is just a mild headache, that's all. There's nothing to worry yourself about. Besides, it can be fixed with a spell or two.” Knowing that the situation could be fixed with a spell or two, that was the only reason I wasn't all that scared. But th

    Chapter 85.AN EMERGENCY. .Clary's POV.“You are still here?” I asked, narrowing my gaze at the words. “I thought…” “You thought I wouldn't be here?” Gracie righted herself from the couch, and raised a brow. “Well, I'm still here. Is there anything wrong with that?” There was absolutely nothing wrong with her deciding to wait for me. If anything, it just showed how much she cared. However, I wasn't just thinking that I would still find her with Greg when I returned. It seemed like their friendship had grown deeper than I thought in just a few hours together. “Uh? No. No, there's nothing wrong.” I stuttered, shaking my head. “If anything, I'm glad that you decided to wait for me.” “Well, that's all thanks to Greg.” she said, with a smile. “He kept me company all the while.” “Thank you.” I said, with a brief smile. “You are welcome.” he said, tipping off an invisible hat. While we were still talking, Mrs Johnson walked into her room. I expected that much from her; she needed al

    Chapter 84.SOMETHING IS COMING.Clary's POV.While walking with Mrs Johnson, I glanced over my shoulder again. I couldn't tell how many times I'd done that, but I just wanted to be sure that Hayley was still coming behind us. For a moment, her footsteps went silent as if she suddenly changed her mind again. I couldn't say exactly what made her change her mind to leave with us, but I could only hope that it was enough reason for her not to return. Meanwhile, she was right behind us. “You want to have a word with her?” Mrs Johnson's voice cut through my thoughts.“Pardon?” the word jolted out of my mouth.“Do you want to have a conversation with her?” she reiterated, as we walked across the road, to where she parked her car.“No, I don't think it's the best time to do so.” I said, with a brief smile. “If anything, I believe she needs some time alone. She must have been through a lot these past few hours.” “You think so?” she stopped walking as we got to the spot where her car was pa

  • THE SCROLLS: RISE OF THE TRUE ALPHA.   CHAPTER EIGHTY-THREE — NOT ANYONE, BUT YOURSELF!

    Chapter 83.NOT ANYONE, BUT YOURSELF!Clary's POV.“I told you not to look for me, didn't I?” Hayley asked, her voice as hard as steel. “What are you doing here? Why wouldn't you just listen to me?” “You are about to make a wrong decision.” I said, in a soft voice. “I can't allow you to do that.” “Are you kidding?” she scoffed, folding her arms across her chest as she leaned back in her chair. “Who are you to lecture me on the decision I'm about to make? If it's a right or wrong decision, let me be the judge of that.” She pushed her chair backward, and got on her feet. Perhaps, that was her way of saying that she was done with the conversation. But I wasn't. I mean, we'd barely spoken for a little over ten minutes, and she wants to end the conversation already? I barely managed to talk her into coming down, because she was ready to climb up that stairs again and return to whatever room it was that she crawled out from. In the meantime, I turned my face to the side and looked at M

    Chapter 82.I DIDN'T COME TO FIGHT.Clary's POV.Wait… what? Sister? I swept my eyes up and down the body of the man standing in front of me, and then turned to Mrs Johnson.“Don't give me that look.” she said, turning her face away. “We all have some past that we don't want to talk about.” Yeah. I get that, but this isn't that kind of past that you try to put behind you. Besides, all it would have taken was just a call to the man who'd just introduced himself as her brother, and Hayley would have returned home.“Why are you here, Maya?” he asked, walking towards the refectory table close to the window. “Is this what I think it is?” “Don't get your hopes high, Trevor.” she said, with an edge to her voice. “I haven't come to pick up the kind of life that you're living. I dropped that life years ago, and I don't plan on returning to it.” “Is that so?” Trevor asked, a hand on the headrest of the chair tucked in the refectory table. “In that case, then why are you here?” He pulled out
