Valentina’s P.O.V“Yes, please,” Mr. Lords said into the phone after a long pause, a short laugh escaped his lips as he pulled the blinds on the other side of the room. “Valentina Chandler, that’s her name I guess, do we have such a student?”Despite the AC I was covered in sweat, and it was becoming even more difficult to breathe, I’m going to get expelled right here and right now. I shouldn’t have come here, I sniffed back desperately trying to contain the tears that had now well-up in my eyes.“Ohh…” He muttered again and the tears finally fell from my eyes, even though I tried to hold them back I couldn’t. “Please work on it, thank you.”He ended the phone call and turned towards me, the look on his face softened as he approached his desk.“Why are you crying?” He asked and I shook my head, he pulled his chair and sat down again, scrolling through his phone with a slight nod, I wiped my face trying to compose myself again. “You’re pretty good in your academics, you had the highes
Ethan’s P.O.V “Where have you been?” I heard my father’s voice as soon as I stepped into the living room, I turned back slightly and proceeded to ignore him. I didn’t know he had been back from his business trip, Junis didn’t inform me about his arrival, and it would seemed his return was some sort of impromptu. “I’ve been waiting for you.”“Why?” I scoffed taking off my bags and throwing them at the next available maid, she knew what to do with it. “Don’t tell me you missed me a lot during your trip, I thought that whore went with you, you don’t usually care about anything once she is with you.” “How long do you think you can keep doing this?” He suddenly snapped at me, it was a bit surprising, but it wasn’t scary because I never once feared nor respected my father. “How long are you going to drag my name in the mud?” “I wonder what you heard this time but it gives me so much pleasure it has you at the edge.” I chuckled making him even angrier. “Adam give me the car keys.” Adam’
Valentina’s P.O.VWhat are the hell were they doing here? Table fourteen is the biggest table our restaurant has, and it can contain sixteen people at once, it wasn’t the size of the table that was my problem, but the people that were sitting at it.“Isn’t this Valentina?” Scott asked with a small laugh, there was a huge streak of amusement on his face. “Oh my God, she looks so different in the apron?”“We got insulted by a beggar who waits tables?” Jasmine asked in surprise and they all started laughing, my heart “That’s tragic indeed.”This isn’t school. I told myself repeatedly, that I wouldn’t allow them to bully me, I was not going to be so pathetic even at my work.I bent down slightly, ignoring the banter and I picked up my jotter that had previously fallen and forced a small smile at them.“What would you like to order?” I asked them getting ready to take their order, from the corner of my eyes I saw Gabrielle take out his phone and start taking pictures.“Ethan needs to see t
Valentina’s P.O.VI love the scent of Melissa’s shampoo, it was an orange flavor shampoo, and it tickled my nose, I smiled to myself massaging the lather of the shampoo into my scalp, I loved how it felt against my hair, and the tip of my fingers. How long has it been since I had washed my hair? I can’t remember the last time I had a warm bath too, the heater in my bathroom never worked and I couldn’t dare to ask Ron to fix it.“How long have you been in the bath?” Melissa asked as she stepped into the bathroom with a towel hanging loosely around her chest, I had completely forgotten about the time, the water was so warm I could die here. “You’re washing your hair? Let me help you.”She stepped forward took off the towel and joined me in the bath, it was big enough to fit us.“Look her frizzy your hair is,” She complained as she rinsed the shampoo away from my hair, with the shower head. “You should take better care of your hair and yourself too.”Her fingers ran across the length of
Travis’s P.O.VThe Math teacher kept on rambling, the lecture had been ongoing for about thirty minutes now, yet Valentina’s seat was empty, I couldn’t help but wonder where she was. She isn’t the type to be absent during classes, something has to be wrong.“Why do you keep looking at the empty desk?” Scott’s irritating voice came in a small tease, and only then did Ethan’s head reel in my direction.His eyes shot toward Valentina’s desk and he scoffed slightly, I didn’t know what prompted the reaction but it felt like something happened between them.Ethan has been acting all weird today, he hasn’t spoken a word to anyone, I thought he fought with his father since he slept in my house last night. He refused to talk about it, but it seemed like he woke up on the wrong side of the bed, he was all cold and grumpy. “Valentina isn’t in class,” Scott said jokingly but this time I was unable to control myself, I rolled my eyes and focused the rest of my strength on ignoring him.I wonder
Ethan’s P.O.VAfter Travis’ dramatic exit from the class, he didn’t come back, he probably went in search of his crush, and I couldn’t blame him. I caught a glimpse of Valentina checking out the bag as I approached the classroom, but I couldn’t understand the look that was on her face.Did she like the bag or not? She didn’t look satisfied with the gift and I wondered why, for a start, it looked better than the tattered bag she used but I wasn’t in the mood to deal with her or anything that was why I ignored her, but I hoped she would at least throw that trash bag away.It was just sad to look at.Just when I wondered where he could be, Travis entered the classroom, the bag I bought for Valentina was in his hands, and there was a glare on his face. Just as I thought he had been with Valentina, but what is the bag doing with him?He threw it in my face and I glared at him, feeling irritated by his sudden action.“Why did you give this to Valentina?” He asked in a low growl, the class w
Ethan’s P.O.VHer eyes widened at my command, and she hesitated, with a small smirk on my face I leaned forward to pull her hands and she fell unto the steel chair.“Why are you being quiet?” I asked curiously, but she still remained silent. “You don’t want to do it?”“Why are you being like this?” She asked me innocently, unlike before she wasn’t making any attempt to free herself. “Why are you doing this to me? If it’s because of what happened with your father, I already apologized to him, and if you want I can apologize to you.”“Did I mention it anywhere that I needed an apology?” I asked yanking her forward toward myself, and her face distorted a bit, probably from pain and I wasn’t even holding her so tightly. “Feed me the rest of this ice cream.”“B-But you are not sick, you have your two hands and I’m sure you can help yourself.” She was being defiant, it’s rare to get her like this but it was amusing to watch. “It would seem you want to go back in the water.” I concluded dro
Valentina’s P.O.VHe kissed me and left me, since he didn’t do more than kissing the first time I thought it was okay, but what if he demands for something more than kissing me someday?What am I going to do if Ethan decides to touch me and do those things to me? Since he never even bothers to ask for permission.I know all too well, how weak and powerless I am against him, I will be completely at his mercy, should I also report this to his father?I’m scared…I reached for my lips again, it didn’t feel repulsive, even though I hated that bastard, the kiss wasn’t too bad, to the point that I craved the warmth of his body.Is it wrong to feel those things? All these things that I feel inside, I don’t know what they mean, I’m curious about them but I’m too scared to know.Should I talk to Ethan instead?He should know the reason why he keeps on kissing me, I know they do things like that with people you like but I’m not his girlfriend, I can’t even think of dating someone like him in a
