Wren Carter

By the time I left the campus, the sun was on the horizon, about to dip into the abyss. The hues of red and oranges colored the sky as I matched my pace to the bricks on the floor. I looked up and smiled at people who walked past me.

I stopped wearing my hoodie but it was cold and the air was biting so I pulled it back on. There were a few students idling across the courtyard and the rest were waiting for their friends or drivers.

As I walked, I heard a low thrum of an engine behin

  • The Bully's Regret   Chapter 32

    Wren CarterI stared at my wardrobe. It had everything but a dress. From shorts to baggy pants but nothing seemingly similar to a dress. I was never a dress enthusiast. I never had an occasion to wear them. The last time I wore them was when I was a child.Now I stood in front of my wardrobe as an adult. The only option left was my mom’s bunk. I stopped going through it ever since Mom was admitted. However, I think it needs to be opened. She had a lot of dresses but never anything fancy. Nothing fancy enough for me to wear at a party full of jewels and gems.One piece of glitter caught my eyes. I pulled it out and it was a midnight blue dress with sequins, nets and frills. Exactly the type of outfit one would wear at a fancy event.I held it against my frame. It was quite tacky, clearly not an expensive dress. But of course we had no point in buying such an overpriced dress. It was a short dress as it ended near my knees. It had frills around the shoulder and an elaborate design on th

    Wren CarterThe cafeteria was booming with noise. Everyone was excited for the football game as the spirits were high. I did not want to do anything with the game as Cyrus and his friends were in it. I would rather hope for the team to lose than root for them.I sat quietly at the table, picking at my food while the noise of the room faded into the background. My mind kept drifting back to yesterday and how strangely everything unfolded. Cyrus insisted on dropping me off at the hospital. Well, insisted was a polite way of putting it. It felt more like a threat than an offer. As if that wasn’t strange enough, he even brought along a gift for my mother.I had not wanted to give it to her at all, but the moment she saw it her face lit up with so much happiness that I did not have the heart to say anything. Of course, that only made things worse. She immediately started teasing me about him, the knowing smile on her face making my cheeks burn. I shut it down before she could get too far w

    Cyrus BlackwoodI pulled out of the hospital drop off as Wren’s back receded. I wondered to myself if this was the right thing to do. I was only doing this to fool her into trusting me. To tame her. Also because I wanted to know more about her. Something about her was intriguing, even more so past all these games and pranks. I also have not been able to take the whole complaint fiasco out of my head. I cannot figure out who is telling the truth and who was not. I decided to put Ethan on trial and get it out of him. I was not lying when I said it was Wren’s doom if I found out that she had the courage to go ahead and lie about everything.I may have not been acting like myself these past few days but it was all becoming clear. I still had one more trump card under my sleeve. I could not let Wren get away with all this. I turned back to campus as our practice was still scheduled for a couple more hours. I parked the car and made a beeline for the field.“Where did you run off to Cy?”

There were a few students idling across the courtyard and the rest were waiting for their friends or drivers. As I walked, I heard a low thrum of an engine behind me. Maybe it was one of the students waiting to pick someone up or they were stalling. But due to my previous experiences, I immediately felt my heart clench. I did not look back. Instead I looked up and walked ahead. The bus station was just ten minutes away if I speed walked but this part of the campus area was mostly scarce with the way the location was—in between the forest. The car came up beside me as I picked up my pace. I thought they had stopped following me. Did I do something wro

    Cyrus BlackwoodThe exam week was closing in and so was our first football match of the season. The practice was getting brutal every day; the drills were getting longer, the tackles were getting harsher, and the coach barked orders until his voice was hoarse. My muscles burned by the time I got home. Everyone was on edge. But this was fine for me as it gave me little room for distractionsShort quizzes and assignments were getting passed along more than ever since exams were near. The professors thought more work before exams was a great amount of pressure for students. I was already in a foul mood when I entered the class but then my gaze fell on a quiet figure by the window. She had her face turned over to the window and her cheek on her palm. Wren was pretty; it was not a lie. The way she carried herself would not let anyone know how her background actually was. Her short straight hair, the slight quirk on her mouth and her high cheekbones along with sharp eyebrows. And her eyes

    Wren CarterI huffed as I walked off the field as the cold air bit my cheeks. My face still burned, not from embarrassment but from realization settling deep in my bones. So my paranoia was justified. I pulled my hood and continued walking with my head down. The campus lights were flickering on as the sun slowly drowned. Every step I took felt heavier than the last, like I was dragging the weight of something invisible behind me.Those people had contacted Cyrus. This was more alarming than I could imagine. He was the type of person to side with them and hand me over. He only wanted to hold leverage over me. To have such a power over a person was beyond anyone. The hallways inside were mostly empty. I hated being in an empty hallway. The only sound was my shoes softly tapping against the ground. But at this moment, this silence was comforting. My comfort was short-lived as I heard voices from around the corner. Familiar and grating voices.They were around the corner, close enough t
