登入Brad’s POV“...stop the fire…”“...bring some water…”A chest hit mine and said a small apology before running to get some more water.That… that was my car, my cherished property. I got it as a gift when I turned sixteen from both Mom and Dad.I valued it more than anything, but now.. I walked forward, the fire was mild and not actually a big deal, but there were lots of damages. It'll require a lot of money if I wanted to fix this up, a lot of money which I don't currently have at the moment because of the issues that the company was facing.Some of the guys that quenched the fire just tapped my shoulders and told me a soft apology, which was fucking useless in this situation.The glass shards were littered all of the floor, and smoke filled the air as I got closer. People had already gathered, flashing sympathetic looks at me as if I was some freaking pitiful boy. I hated those looks, it fucking irked me out.“Who did this?” I asked in a low voice but was met with silence.“WHO. T
Sebastian POV“What I think?” Was this girl actually crazy and delusional like the rumors say or does she think everyone was as foolish as her.Brad glared at me, “You were eavesdropping, both if you were eavesdropping, don't you know common courtesy of minding your own business.”“Oh.. that's actually funny considering you did it in such a public space. If you don't want your dirty linen to be obviously seen by others, you do the logical and sensible thing by hiding it.” Jeremiah leaned lazily on the wall and flashed them a cocky grin before continuing.. “But what do I expect from two foolish people, you guys wanna be the bad guys, you guys should be smart at least. Such a disappointment.”Brad instantly flared up, he was an extremely proud man and couldn't stand being jeered at so he lunged at Jeremiah, wanting to throw a punch. But the silly thing about it was that he couldn't fight, always throwing her hands and hitting the air. Jeremiah easily avoided his attacks, Janine immediat
Jeremiah POV “No.” I said flatly. This was another of his attempts to sabotage my happiness. Like just let me go, old man.“Are you defying me boy?” He flared up in anger as expected from him. We could never have a normal conversation as Father and son, quite sad.“I am not defying you, I'm just stating my decision. I just got with her minutes ago and you are already trying to ruin the relationship, and then you expect me to be okay with it.” I leaned on the chair and sighed. “Can't you just let me have this one thing, my grades, they have not been dropping recently, they are improving rather, and funny I did think that you called me here to tell me..Jeremiah, son, I just spoke to your homeroom teacher and there has been a drastic change in your grades. I'm proud of you son, keep up the good work, because I'm hella sure that's what most dads would do.”I stated with a cold expression and watched his face change..“Look, I haven't kept tabs on your work for a while because I have bee
Jeremiah POVI didn't make any further moves, instead I just looked at her timid expression with a smile playing along my lips. She looked absolutely stunning and cute.She bit her lips, expecting something, and oh lord, there was nothing more I wanted than to kiss her till she was breathless. But this was a public area, and I wasn't comfortable doing my shit in the public.After waiting for a few seconds and didn't get any response from me, she opened her eyes slowly and saw a smirk playing on my lips, she puffed her cheek and pushed me away.. “You… you… you played me.”Pfft! I could help but burst into laughter hearing her remark..“Played? You wanted me to kiss you then..”“I did not want such, you.. you made the attempt, what did you expect me to think?” She scolded, pointing her fingers to my face.“Aren't you scared that if we actually do it here, our pictures should be the first thing on the school's forum tomorrow.” I teased her, making her look around in embarrassment, checki
Sebastian POVThat was all I needed to hear, I embraced her tighter and buried my head in my chest. I have never felt this vulnerable in my life before. And it was both comforting and scary at the same time. Because all my life I have been bearing all my shit alone but now someone is telling me that I could count on them. It made me happy, relieved..She stroked my head and hummed, we stayed like that for who knows how long, and for a moment I forgot about everything and felt at peace, that's right, Shirley was my peace.After a while, I raised my head up and left her embrace. She cleared her throat slightly and we both stood up. “So what's the next step, since you're no longer on the team anymore? You're not just gonna give up now, are you?”“No” I shook my head, whoever it was that did me dirty, I was going to find the person and prove my innocence.“I thought as much.. If you need any help anywhere, reach out to me, and I'll help you out.”I smiled and nodded, “Thank you.”“Don't
**Shirley POV**“Thank you,” I told the Uber driver as I stepped out of the car. I stood on the sidewalk for a second, staring at the stadium in front of me. Will this place even be open? I muttered under my breath.. There was a guard with long hair, whistling quietly while scrolling through his phone with one earbud in. I walked closer.“Hello? Hello?”He didn’t hear me the first time. I had to call a second time before he finally pulled the earbud out and looked up, raising an eyebrow.“How can I help you, miss?”“Actually, I’m looking for a guy about this height.” I raised my hand to show Sebastian’s height. “Dark hair, green eyes, kind of athletic build.”The guard scratched his chin. “Green eyes… green eyes… oh, you mean Hale?”“Yes, yes. Have you seen him? His location said this was the last place he was.”“Yeah, he’s inside the gym area. Came through a few minutes ago.”Gym area. I had no idea where that even was in a place this big, but I’d figure it out. “Thank you so much.”
