“Hailey! Come down for dinner,” Mom announced loudly after knocking on the door of my room.“I will mum,” I replied loud enough for her to hear while removing the blanket covering my body and sitting on the bed.“Okay, be fast, so your food won't get cold,” Mum said, and I sighed, biting my lower lips anxiously.Anxious in the state that I was finding a suitable way to skip dinner tonight.I slumped back on my bed and stretched out my arms and legs like a starfish and contemplated whether to go have dinner or not.It's not like I wanted to avoid having dinner, but I don't want to see the one person I'm avoiding now, Ryan. Ever since he kissed me in the school's restroom, I haven't been myself for the rest of the entire day, and seeing him again tonight will only add to the headache I'm having at the moment.My stomach growled and rumbled, letting me know she didn't give a fuck about what I'm going through and should satisfy and fill the emptiness in the stomach.'No, I'm not having d

I walked through the hallways of the school, self-conscious of my appearance as always. My fingers were wrapped tightly on the strap of my school bag and for some weird reason, I wished I were done with high school.The bell suddenly rang, and every student in the hallway began to run to their classes, the squeaking sounds of shoes on the floor began to cringe annoyingly in my ears.The clink and slamming of lockers were heard loudly as most of the students hurriedly ran to their class when the bell rang for the second time.I was a bit late to school and I have no plans of running to any classes, I don't even feel like attending one.Getting closer to my locker, I unlocked it, turning the lock to the secret numbers I set for unlocking it when it got opened.A wry sigh escaped my lips as I removed one of the bag straps around my left shoulder so, it could come to the front. I unzipped my bag and brought out my literature textbook and arranged the notebooks, which is seemingly improper

As soon as the bell rang for closing, I scooted out of the class, I had called my boyfriend to come to pick me up in school during break, which would stop Ryan from forcing me to follow him home.I stood in the school's park, waiting for Aiden to show up and call me if he was around.My palms felt sweaty, and I repeatedly tap my left foot on the floor as I checked the cars driving into the school's park.“Waiting for someone?” Someone chirped behind me, and for a second, I thought my heart would jump straight out of my mouth.I turned around to see Brielle staring at me with an awkward smile on her face.I heaved out in relief and smiled at her, “Hey, Brielle,” I greeted her, wondering why she approached me.“Anything wrong?” I asked her as she stared at me and a bit anxiously on her lips.“Uhm! It's about Ryan,” She said, and I sighed.I don't want anyone to bring up his name, the way I'm trying so hard to avoid him, what if he just jumps up from somewhere and shows up.“What about h

I got home in the evening after having a crazy day with Aiden, sometimes he just pisses me off and the next minute he goes all caring, I think that's the problem one faces when being in a relationship.I hummed as I made my way to my room, and opened the door just to freeze at my spot.“Ryan!”“What are you doing in my room?” I shrilled out and stared at him curiously as I walked further into the room.He was sitting on my bed, and he looked so moody, and I began to get worried about him.'What's wrong with him?' I thought, moving closer to where he was sitting on my bed."Hey!' I called out since he didn't want to reply to me.“What's wrong?” I questioned, and he finally stared at me, his eyes were a bit red, then he looked away.'Was he crying?' I thought…“Ryan!” I moved closer to him, touching his shoulder slightly.“Are you okay?” I asked with concern, but his silence was killing me.“Look at me,” He didn't move or make any attempt to look at me, instead he just lowered his head

“So, where are we going to?” I asked Ryan, glancing towards him while he focused on the road driving.“You'll see it when we get there,” He answered and turned his head to me as he gave me a wink.I blushed slightly and dragged my gaze back to the window as I stared at the beautiful street and environment of Albany, which looked beautiful and lively during the evening.Ryan got to downtown Albany and finally parked opposite a building that looked a bit old and unique to me…“What's the place?” I inquired from Ryan, staring at how people emerged in and out of one particular building.“The city beer hall,” Ryan answered, and I grinned.“Really? That's great!” I told him, still trying to get a better view of the building.“Are we going there?” I asked Ryan curiously.“You want to go?” He asked, staring into my eyes as I nodded affirmatively.“I could see something spicy to eat over there,” I spoke, and my mouth begin to water, I quickly placed my hands on the seat belt and tried to unbuc

“Be careful,” Ryan warned rushing over to me while I staggered barely getting hold of myself.I was tipsy due to the beer I had…Ryan had gotten us back home, he protectively wrapped his arms around my waist and guided me towards the house.“That was fun,” I bubbled out and laugh slightly, remembering where I danced with the other women and ladies to entertain the men as they cheered us on while I clung on to Ryan like a second skin.Ryan got closer to the door and opened it, my eyes skimmed over the living room, wondering where my mum or stepdad was.“Where's mum?” I asked Ryan, his hands were firm around my waist keeping me in place so as not to fall.“I don't know, we just got back in,” He hinted while I nodded in response.We began walking up the stairs and my head was so light… It felt like I was floating in the air.It wasn't a strong alcoholic drink, yet it still had some effect on me.“Hailey,” We heard a distant voice call us, making Ryan and I stop in our tracks.“That's you

Hailey's POV.I woke up with a slight groan escaping my lips and my eyes shot open wondering what time it is.I jolted up, sitting straight on the bed, and my eyes widened as I stared at the clock.“Holy shit!” I gasped out and struggled to get out of the bed and ended up falling on my face flat on the floor.“Ouch,” I bawled out, squeezing my face at the slight pains I felt on my cheeks, and crawled myself out of the blanket on all fours.I stood up immediately and picked up my blanket, throwing it back on the bed.I stared at the wall clock again and pulled off the ribbon I used in packing my hair up.'Six Forty-five, I have less than thirty minutes to get ready and run out of the house,' I thought to myself as I scraped off the clothes I was wearing and scooted into the bathroom.After, bathing for what didn't last more than ten minutes, I entered my room back and went forth to my closest, wrapping the white towel around my body firmly.I brought out my school uniform and walked ba

I was digging into the food mum had prepared for me in the food box while Ryan sat next to me as he watched me eat and then smile.“How long are you going to watch me eat?” I asked him, suddenly dropping a spoon into the cereals I was eating and facing him, raising my brows at him as he chuckled, turning his gaze away from me.He played with his fingers and opened his mouth partly and looked at me, his lower lips twirling to a warm smile.“Till you finish eating,” He quirked his brow at me, while I stared deeply into his hypnotizing gaze.“You are making me shy,” I pouted at him and grabbed my spoon, and took a spoonful of cereals into my mouth.“You look cute!” He expressed imitating the way I pouted earlier by pushing his lower lips to the front, then he smiled and winked at me.“Stop it,” I growled at him and quickly stared at the teacher in charge of watching detained students, but he was very much far away from Ryan's and I world, with a plugged Bluetooth AirPods in both ears and
