Chapter one
Gracie's pov
"GRACIE!"
Fuckkkkkk….. I yelled as my mum called my name from the sitting room and
"It's your first day at college baby, u don't want to be late!"
I groaned and covered my ear using my pillow so I couldn't hear her voice anymore.
She barged into my room and threw a towel in my direction.
I slowly got out of bed so that I could immediately take a shower.
I'm anxious because it's my first day in college.
I am not and have never been a nerd.
I am the bully, not the victim of bullying.
My time in high school was the best. I was the girl everyone loved and wanted to be.
Give me some credit because I was the top cheerleader, dated the hottest basketball player, lost my virginity on prom night, and was the leader of my clique of friends.
I recently had my heart broken by my boyfriend — or rather, my ex Jason.
I discovered that he is bisexual and that he cheated on me with Chad, The boy who pooped on himself in sixth grade.
But I am over it now and ready for a new me.
I was creating a mental image of myself in Bernard college when my phone beeped.
It was a text from Gem.
I'm on my way
Shit, I need to hurry. She's on her way and I haven't showered.
Gem has been my best friend since 4th
grade. She is attending Bernard too.
I quickly brushed my teeth, and I replied to her
Be ready in five
I entered the shower still picturing a new "me" in college.
I think I'm gonna rock my years in college.
After my shower, I began to apply makeup because I can't show up in school without looking presentable.
I don't care that my mum has been scolding me because I'm late.
I searched my wardrobe looking for something sexy to wear.
I am searching for a dress that says "Am not a whore but not a virgin either"
"Yeah"
I screamed when I saw my black mini-dress. I wore my black mini-dress that shows my lap halfway.
I paired it with blue flats and a blue Louis Vuitton purse to complete the look.
My purse was a gift from Jason but it doesn't remind me of him.
I cannot do a messy bun. I have never done a messy bun. It's not classy.
I braided my hair in three twists and wished I had Gem's hair.
Gem is a black girl with beautiful afro hair.
I looked in the mirror and groaned unsatisfied with my looks.
Anyway, my looks have never satisfied me.
I cursed under my breath…I enjoy cursing a lot.
It's 8:30am and my class starts at 8:00am. I hoped to arrive before 8:32am.
I thought sarcastically even though Bernard college is not a two-minute drive.
I am not a Christian but I believe in Jesus. But I don't think that makes any sense. I believe in science which is fact and not faith. But I believe hell is real. And that thought scares me.
"Beeeeep" I heard my bestie's horn
I hurried to the dining table, shoved some pancakes into my mouth, downed some orange juice, and dashed out to the door.
"Bye baby" Mum yelled after me.
"Bye mum" I yell back with my mouth full.
"I love you, Have a great day." She yelled as I ran out of the house.
I could hardly hear her so I just replied
"I will" and entered Gem's car.
"Hey gurrlll," I said to Gem as I sat in the front seat and dropped my purse on my lap.
"Sup," She replied as she pulled out of the driveway.
I heard a beep from my phone, I picked it up… and sighed.
It was a message from mum.
She sent a text saying
I should have a nice day.
My mum is a very supportive woman and it has been just the two of us.
I don't know my dad and she does not know him either.
My mum is a single mother by choice, not circumstance.
She is a person that likes sex with no strings attached and according to her, she woke up one day and decided to have a baby.
She bought sperm for $100 on eBay and that's how I was born without a dad.
I heard a cat meow from behind the car.
"Gemm, is Kira here??" I asked
Kira is Gem's cat. She loves her a lot and I don't.
I don't live with pets naturally and I don't love them too. They are too clingy.
"Come on Gracie. Give her a break, she likes you." Gem said with a smile.
"Well the feeling isn't mutual, and why the fuck is she staring at me."
I screamed and Gem laughed hard
"She doesn't bite. okay? She looked away from the road to give me an assuring glance.
"Okay," I said calmly.
I wanted to ask her about the African guy she met during her vacation in Dubai three weeks ago.
I didn't think it was necessary. I could still see the hurt in her eyes.
"Men are morons," I said under my breath.
and waved the thought aside.
"How are your parents? Are they still considering a divorce?" I asked Gem.
I was concerned. That was the reason she went on vacation in the first place.
She wanted space away from home.
"Gracie"
she called my name calmly and turned her face away from the road to give me a blank stare.
After a short silence, she said
"I don't want to talk about them"
Another short silence followed.
Then after a few minutes, we were back to ourselves, catching up on the times we had missed.
The moment we arrived at the college, I jumped out of Gem's car and waved her goodbye.
"Fuck all the dudes baby" she yelled out.
I giggled and yelled
"Shut up." as she drove away.
I turned around to go to class and accidentally bumped into a guy.
"Sorry" he muttered under his breath
"Yeah sure," I replied as I walked around him to go to class.
He turned with me and started walking beside me.
"I'm in psychology, and I like your bag," He said cheerfully.
I ignored him.
I am in psychology too, but I don't want to date any guy either.
He is not tall.
I walked fast so he won't be able to walk with me anymore.
I was sure I had lost him, I turned my head to confine if it was true.
"Yes" I said when I could not find her again.
I turned my head to the front and my head hit a hard surface.
"Ouchhhhh" I screamed.
I used my hand to hit the figure in front of me and raised my head up to look at it
My eyes widedened.
Chapter two GRACIE'S POV "My eyes widened" I looked up to see what I had hit. "Gosh"... I mumbled in surprise. Standing in front of me was a demigod He arched his eyebrows and said sorry shifting me to the side gently. He was cute but was in a hurry so I couldn't admire his beauty well. I entered my class late and sat down beside the guy I just met. "Hi"... I said trying to be nice then It occurred to me that he didn't tell me his name. He noticed and said "Sebastian Hale", "What"? I asked amused. "I'm Sebastian Hale but call me bad' he replied with a smile. "Gracie Hart"... I said with a fake smile. And we listened to PSY 110 which was being taught. The class was quick but I was uncomfortable. Because I was kinda having cramps even though I wasn't on my period. I rested my head on the table till the end of the class. It seemed my period had come early this month and there were no tampons in my bag. I texted Gem Do you have some tampons? A
Chapter 3 "Who's that?" I asked surprised. "Bas told me to give you those," An unfamiliar feminine voice spoke. I just met Bas. But his voice is recognizable and I was sure that wasn't him. His voice doesn't even sound familiar. "What's your name?" The question popped out instead of thank you. I opened the tampons, pulled out my panties, And started inserting them inside me. "You are welcomed," the girl replied sarcastically. "That wasn't my question" I hissed irritably. I'm trying to be a bitch and bitches don't say thank you. "Don't be rude to me, I was just helping Bas. I didn't know Miss Racie was a rude bitch" She said sarcastically. I stopped what I was doing immediately when I heard racie. I was mad at her for the tone she used on me but did she just give me a nickname??... I arranged my gown and came out of the toilet, Walked to the mirror opposite the girl to put on some makeup. " That's still not the answer to my question though and who the fuck is
Chapter 4 "Hey," The Demigod spoke. "Hey Zach, This is the silly girl that was staring at you" Anelle introduced me and she started laughing. Why Would she introduce me in such a way? I prayed for the ground to swallow. "Hey I'm Zach Lane, " He said with a smile and stretched his hands for a handshake. His smile was cute, making me want to see his set of teeth. He had slight dimples, which were almost invisible. The height I was dying to see earlier was standing in front of me. I could bet he was 6ft tall. "Gracie Hart," I said while stretching my hand for the handshake. I could feel his slender finger as we shook hands. "Well, We think we should get going," Anelle said, separating our hands. Anelle gave me a filthy look. I wasn't flirting with him and I wished I could tell her there. "Yeah sure' Where are you headed?" Zach asked Anelle and me as we walked toward his car. I walked behind them so I could hardly hear their conversation. I walked be
Chapter 5 What the fuck is Gem's picture doing in his care. He even had to hide it. That was very suspicious. When I saw him coming, I hid the picture where it was kept and tried to keep a straight face. "Hey," I said immediately after he entered the car. He arched his eyebrow giving me a confused look. "Is there a problem?" He asked I suck at pretending but I had to give it my best shot. "Yeah sure" I replied He wore his seatbelt before giving me the phone. I opened the phone. It was an iPhone, I kept the phone in my purse, as Zach started driving. "So where are we going?" I asked because I didn't want the ride to be silent. "Let me take you to Lane's food and snacks. He said with a smile on his face. His dimples showed faintly. "Wait, don't tell me that's your parent's restaurant?" I said with a grin "Well, It is " he laughed after saying this "You are taking me there because you aren't going to pay for the food," I said and we both started laughing.
CHAPTER SIX "I..I..I.." Abby tried to form a complete sentence but the words were stuck on her lips. She looked everywhere and the guards surrounding her began to come closer. She just tried to compose herself, although she didn't believe in God, she prayed silently for a breakthrough. "Wait, boys" Alpha ordered his boys, who stood immediately, in response to the order. He bent down and picked the pizza from the front. Immediately he picked up the pizza, it got stuck in his right palm. But Alpha didn't notice, he opened the pizza and found a little time bomb there, it counted in seconds. Without thinking, he tried pulling his hand from underneath the pizza box but his right palm got stuck and wasn't leaving. He raised his head to lash out at Abby and the realization dawned on me that the person standing in front of him was the notorious and heartless killer, serial 15. "What have you done you a witch?" he yelled, making Abby burst into uncontrollable laughter. A
CHAPTER SEVEN Abby raised her head from Amara's chest, she wiped the tears in her eyes off after hearing that there was something that could be done about the situation. "What are you planning to do?" She asked Amara, who immediately gave her a creepy smile. "Well we are going to arrange our clothes and get prepared for the fucking fundraiser party," Amara said very excitedly but she could see how it made Abby feel sad once again. Amara exhaled deeply, and drew closer to Abby again, "you are in the university of your dreams dear, you need to loosen up a little and a party can be the start" Amara said. Abby's heart was heavy for her sister, but she also knew deep down that Amara was right about the whole situation. Maybe she needs to loosen up a little, so people don't see her as boring. She gave Abby a weak smile and said, "I think you are right about that" "Of course, I'm always right, you dummy," Amara said, throwing a gown to Abby's face to make her giggle.
Chapter 8 Gracie's pov. I sluggishly picked up the phone, to read the text and the text was from Zach. I was feeling sleepy but I had to check it. I'll pick you up by 9:00 Am if you can wait. I covered my mouth so I won't scream out of excitement. I didn't reply to his message though. My phone was beside me when I slept off. ZACH'S POV I hope I didn't make the wrong decision of taking her to school tomorrow. That was the thought running through my head. I don't want to lead her on but she seemed desperate. The only wish I had was to see Gem once again. We met on my previous vacation and she was having a family problem which she didn't tell me about. I had my issues too that I didn't tell her. We had been so close then before she left. She didn't tell me where she lived, she only gave me her number before leaving. I missed the times we spent and I just want to see her again. No strings attached though, We h
CHAPTER TEN Gasps filled the room, as that had never happened before. Abby couldn't concentrate on the guy she was initially talking with. Frank lay on the fall unconscious as an ambulance came to take him for better medical care. Abby used her eyes to search around for Amara and Travis and cut them cuddling in a corner not minding the situation Frank just entered. Abby's face burned red as she matched to where they were. "You are fucking pathetic" she yelled, as she dragged Amara's hair. Amara wiggled in pain as she held Abby's hand to reduce the pain. With a little strength, Abby pushed Amara to sit in one corner and went straight to Travis. She grabbed him by his shirt and raised him. "Please put me down, people are watching you" Travis pleaded as his legs left the ground slowly, he wondered how a woman possessed such powers. Abby didn't utter a word, she raised her hand and was ready to punch Travis on the head, when Amara yelled, "Stop Abby, please Stop"
