Zoey.I had no time to process what Orion had just said to me, or even respond to him, as he got pushed, almost falling down the railing. I let out a loud scream, scared that he could end up falling right there. "What the fuck did you just say?" Rowan spat.Despite the fact that the music had blocked out every single noise around us, he had managed to hear the words that Orion had thrown at me. I felt seen at the moment. "I dare you to repeat it."Orion, even at the verge of being thrown off the low tide builing, he had the urge to own a smirk on his face. "I said she is so cheap, just like a dollar bil condom and I didn't lie." He repeated, his face held no emotions and I couldn't tell if he was scared or masking it up."Fucking fuck." I heard Rowan mumbled, before he buckled him up, against the railing. With a swift move, just a single one meant ending the life of Orion and that meant, Rowan risking his life for something as stupid as this."No." I managed to voice out. As much as
Zoey.I had thought that the surprises were going to end, but I was so fast to think of it that way. I was blindfolded, with Emrys dragging me into a house, or it could even be anything that I had no idea of."You won't really tell me where you are taking me to?" I asked him, trying to get my hands out of his hold.I should have known the boys were up to something when they kept asking me for my best friend and how comes she hasn't been around me for a while. Then Rowan went ahead to get her number, saying that she had caught his eyes.But we all knew that it was a lie. Julie wasn't the type of girl that he would want, she was just a ray of sunshine, unlike him that was dark, his personality screaming of a bad boy. The sound of music grew louder the further we walked into the open space. It wasn’t just a speaker, it was full music, the type that echoed in the entire space. My heart started to beat a little faster. I could hear laughter, footsteps, voices I didn’t recognize right away
Zoey.'Don't be suck a fool.' The message said.Rowan almost snatched the phone away from my hand before I could even properly process the message. "What is that, man?" Emrys pushed him back on my behalf."I just wanted to see what is making her so damn curious when we told her that we have a surprise for her." Rowan sagged down his shoulders, moving an inch closer, his eyes still on my hand that I was holding the phone.I rolled out my eyes. With the boys, I had learnt that I had to be more vocal, more stubborn and more like them. I had to speak out for myself most of the time, but once it wasn't just the five of us, they would go out to keep me safe.I was only theirs to be bullied and I had accepted that. "If you keep on doing this, I will stop coming here." I warned and they all burst out laughing, all except for Casper.Since I had entered the car , I had noticed how he talked less, or even participated in whatever games the rest were trying to play. "You are infatuated with us,
Zoey.Their faces, it confirmed those shady text messages were true, there was something that happened last summer. It has to do with me, the boys and from all indication was bad.If they weren't going to tell me about it themselves, then I had to find out my own way. But where was I going to start from? Who will ask or how will I get to the person behind all those texts?"It is a mission that you have to take care of alone, Zoey." I told myself, walking into the school. The eyes of the student fell me as I walked passed them, it was the same thing, they pointed hands at me, like they never needed a reason to move on in their lives."Did you see when Rowan dictated a win to her?" "They are so smitten by her, I wonder what she did to them.""What did she lack from Orion that she has to go to the boys, his rivals?" All sort of accusation flew in from all direction, if you asked me, then I would deny seeing the time that Rowan or anyone of them had dedicated a goal to me. They were all
Third POV.They knew how proud everyone was of them, the team won the game because of them and they were so cocky of it. But Orion had to be so much of the jerk, by teaming up with the number sixteen of the opposing team.If it wasn't for Casper that had come between them, Kieran and Rowan would have beaten him up, there in the rink and nothing would have happened. The worst would be them being penalized and they were okay with it. "We should take her to the cafe down town to celebrate our win." Casper suggested.On a normal day, after their win, they would have ended crashing at Rowan's place, drinking away their happiness but for once, they wanted to make a change and it was for a woman that they had ropped into theirs. "My boy is stepping out and coming out of his shell." Rowan commented, wrapping a hand around Casper while dragging him down to the car park.It was dark, though the street light illuminated the entire streets. From afar, the cricket made sound, that funny sound that
Zoey. "Your smile is beautiful, wear it more." Emrys commented. I couldn't help the urge of biting the inner skin of my lips, feeling a metallic taste hit my taste buds. I knew what it was, and how bad getting bitten by my tongue was, but I never stopped, it was a way of me expressing my fears. I was scared of how fast my relationship with the boys was moving. How fast they had decided to get this closer to me, I should have said no the first time but guess what? I had been fueled by the art of getting revenge, making the man that had humiliated me fall on his knees. The locker room, it smelled so much like sweat, adrenaline and something metallic, just worst that the taste in my lips earlier. The sound of the boys getting their skates tightened filled the entire room. It was only the five of us, as the rest decided to give us space to talk while the boys got ready. The look that they had given me, I wasn't sure of what it was and decided not to pry so hard into it. I had gotten w
