QUINN’S POV
It’s almost foundation day and everyone got very busy preparing for the day while I am here chilling my ass off. I don’t have anything to contribute anyway and besides the team, I’m in is done with all the things that are needed to do.
“Quinn, would you like to come with me?” Hailee asked. We are on the same organization and we are both free now while Ara and Jai are having their training for the event that they are participating in.
“Where?” I asked her.
“Library?” and she’s not even sure with her answer. I didn’t bother to neglect her offer and we headed to the library instead. That’s the only quiet place around the campus and I badly want to stay there for a while.
As we enter the library, Hailee seems anxious looking around like she’s looking for something.
“Who’s you’re searching,” I aske
HAILEE’S POV“I’m just… not feeling well” I told Quinn. That was a lie. I am really not feeling well not because I am ick but because of what happened yesterday. I’ve been distracted the whole night and it really sucks how I’m overthinking.Quinn did not ask any questions after that. She has a strong sense and she must have understood that I am not yet ready to talk about it. We reached the university and as something happened. Quinn burst out at Evander when he called her Ms. Numb. She doesn’t usually react with those kinds of words but she did this time. She’s hot headed and she’s like this when she’s on her period.We all settled down and Dylan tried to talk to Quinn but she shut him off. If only I could tell him to stop chasing Quinn, I would. Dylan has a huge affection for Quinn, he told me yesterday.***FLASHBACK***Quinn told me
QUINN’S POV “Quinn!! Oh my gosh! Tell us what happened!” Ara is rushing to me. “Tell you what?” I casually asked. It’s too early for gossips and I don’t know any gossips anyway. “This!” she showed me the screen of her phone and it was yesterday with Evander when we are at the Ice cream parlor. “And what’s so intriguing about it?” I asked. “Come one! Why are you together?! I know you hated him, then what is this?” she continued to convince me to tell her what happened so I have no choice. Ara called Hailee and Jai to hear it from me. “I got leak yesterday. He saw it and let me borrow his jacket to cover it. He insisted to send me home but he brings me to an ice cream parlor because he said it can ease the dysmenorrhea. The end” I told them. “Oh my gosh! I couldn’t believe this! Is that for real? You go out with a guy?” Hailee exclaimed. I didn’t go out with a guy. It was a mere… okay, it’s
QUINN’S POV“Ms. Barclay what is your decision?” the principal asked. We are back again in discussing about this thing and now I don’t know what to f*cking say.“Silence means ye. Okay, you can go now. Goodluck”“What? No, I didn’t say yes!” I calmly protest when she made a decision by herself.“Ms. Barclay, you will know walk in the stage with a lot of students looking at you. You will just have to stand there and share your advocacy, that’s all” the principal reasoned out.Before I could speak, she did.“You can go back Ms. Barclay. The discussion is over” she said. I left her office with no choice. I can’t believe I’ll be doing things that is against my will. Great! what a good sh*t.“When are we going to make our advocacy?” I heard Evander spoke from behind. He’s following me and I don&rs
QUINN’S POV “Are you ready? You got this” Evander told me. We are walking upstairs to present our advocacy the other department are already done. I’m nervous, I must admit. This will be the first time I will be facing the crowd and speak on stage. Since yesterday Evander has been saying encouraging words. Although I am not used with it, I don’t really have to hear it from him but the initiation he had done, I appreciate it. We stepped on the podium and hold the mic. I took a deep sigh before speaking. “I am Quinn Amethyst Barclay, junior from *** department” I stated. “I am Evander Ludwing, junior from *** department” after he said that the crowd applauded and some are even cheering for him most particularly the girls. “To all students out there, fighting their silent battles, our advocacy “Hear to Help” is dedicated to you” and the cheers got louder when he started to speak. He really has a great influence and
HAILEE’S POV “How are you going to help me?” Dylan has been very persistent asking about it. I am still finding a way how do and whenever he asked, I feel pressured and… jealous. I know I look stupid that I supported him while I like him. I’m going to have a martyr award for this. “You really like her, do you?” I asked him even if I know he does. We are currently at the library. We don’t read books anyway, we’re here to talk. He’s been asking me about Quinn and he would tell me how interested he is with her. So far, I was able to take listening to him while I am secretly crashing down. “I know you will help me” he said and smiled. Those smiles that really charm me. Dylan. If you only knew how my heart is screaming right now to tell you that I am just here so why look for someone that doesn’t like you? “Yeah, I will help you don’t worry. Just give me time to find a good opportunity” I told him. He grins after I said that
QUINN’S POV“Please, get the hell out of my life,” I said while walking out he still keeps on following me.“I’m not going to stop until you talk to me,” he said.He walks in front of me spreading his arms to block me. I look at him sharply but he keeps his composure and speaks.“Why did you walk out,” he asked.“Because you’re disgusting” I simply replied attempted to pass through her but he was able to stop me.“I’ll come with you,” he said. I furiously look at him and speak.“Can you just stay out of my sight? Leave me alone? Can you do that?” I told him. I don’t anymore know how to get rid of him. He’s way too assertive to get rid of.“I’ll behave I promise” he replied.I think I couldn’t stop him from intriguing me and a waste of energy ha
QUINN’S POV “Where were you the whole day?” Rhys asked. We’re at home. He randomly visits me her and even if I throw him out, he will not do it. He’s casually laying on the couch like this is his own house. Well, I don’t mind anyway. I’m used of him. “At school?” I sarcastically responded. The answer for his question is obvious. “Where? Particularly?” he sounds a little irritated. “I watched volleyball” I simply responded. He rushed to get up and strangely stare at me. “You never watched sports… who’s with you?” there’s suspicions in his voice. I look away when suddenly hit me. I was with Evander and he doesn’t need to know. “Uhm… I-I…” “Evander?” I look at him with great surprise thinking why he knows about it or is he just guessing? But why of all people he would say Evander? “You saw us?” I asked him. He smiled and he then nodded. I took a deep sigh. “He forced me---” “You don’t need to explain. I know” I keenly look at him to discern what’s he’s actually trying to poi
QUINN’S POV: Rhys and I are already at the airport waiting for the rest of the girls. A few minutes later, Jai arrived. She doesn’t want to come with us at first but Hailee and Ara convinced her so she was here. We would have canceled the trip if were incomplete. We waited for Ara and Hailee to arrive. “You want to eat something,” Rhys asked. I’m a little starving and I haven’t eaten my lunch yet. No one’s around the house I used to eat at school so I’m basically unable to prepare my food. “Does your mom know where you’re heading at?” Rhys asked while we are waiting upstairs where the food court is. Jai stayed there so that when the girls arrived, they will know where we are. “She didn’t” I simply responded. “WHAT? She might worry about---” “She won’t. We barely saw each other even when we were living under one roof. She would leave home while I am asleep and she would go home late when I’m already asleep. You think she will worry?” I stated. “Oh… is that so” We bought some f
