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
Ethan’s P.O.V“Good day, Master Ethan.” Junis said as he collected my bag from me, I nodded at him in acknowledgement; he is such a diligent old man. “How about supper? Mary has gotten the table ready.”“I’m not hungry,” I answered waving him off as I approached my room, I got inside plumped down on my bed, and forced my face into the pillow.It is difficult, this is challenging.“Why can’t I stop thinking about her?” I asked myself but I didn’t have the answer to my question. “Maybe something is wrong with me.”“Master Ethan.” Junis was knocking on the door, and I rolled my eyes, the old man is very persistent. “I brought your dinner.”“What part of I’m not hungry do you not understand?” I yelled back, and the other side of the room went silent for a while before the knocking came back. “Oh Goodness!”I hopped off the bed and opened it, but instead of Junis, it was my father, I wanted to slam the door in his face but he was standing at the doorway preventing me from doing it.“Let’s
Valentina’s P.O.VThe best I could do was run around on the field, there was nothing else to do, and no one would pass the ball to me. Either way, Mr. Colt promised to fail me if I didn’t participate in the games, I haven’t been participating in a long time, but running around like this should work.“Valentina!” Mr. Colt yelled again and I felt my heart rate increased. “You should run in the direction of the ball and not away from it.”Oh God! I rushed toward Valerie who had the ball in her hands, but I didn’t make any attempt to take it from her or anything.“I tell you, I’m terrible at sports,” I complained to Mr. Colt who was already determined to end my sporting career before it even started. “I did my best.”“I know but it wasn’t enough.” He yelled at me again and I cringed. “I’ll give you one last chance if you practice with the others.”“Tch!” I sighed in exasperation, and I walked away from him going back to the field, where the rest of the students were having the time of the
Ethan’s P.O.VValentina was being unnecessarily stubborn today, but I couldn’t help but notice just how hard she flinched when I touched her in some places. I couldn’t ignore the painful whimpers that escaped her lips when I held her hands as well.Something was wrong with her.“Are you hurt?” I asked out of concern, her tear-filled eyes narrowed at me, it seemed as though breathing was difficult for her as well. She was hurt, but she wouldn’t tell me where.“Will you only stop when I’m hurt?” She asked curiously and I rolled my eyes before I tightened my grip on her arms and just as I expected she caved in, she yelled loudly trying to push me away from her. My eyes narrowed at her, when I noticed her small marks around her neck, it would seem as though she was strangled.“What is this?” I asked as my fingers brushed away her hair from her neck, my eyes inspecting the wounds properly.“It’s none of your business!” she snapped at me. “Just let me go!”Since she wasn’t willing to do it
Valentina’s P.O.V I never knew I could cry so much, especially in front of Ethan, I wasn’t expecting him to take me seriously but he did otherwise. I bit my fingers in frustration as I regretted my decision to snap at him, he must thought I was a weirdo, I could recall vividly the shocked expression on his face while I bawled my eyes out. When did I suddenly start caring about what he thinks about me? I scolded myself, hitting myself on the head repeatedly, I’m such an idiot, that bastard assaulted me and he was in the middle of assaulting me, it’s not my fault I reacted in the way I should. I told him to stop countless times, but he kept forcing himself on me, so it was natural I got mad, if anything he is the weirdo. I didn’t have any money, Norah stole my money while I was unconscious, I walked to school, and now since I don’t have the bus fare, I was walking to the pizza shop for my part-time job, and at this rate, I’m going to be late.I have finally resolved within myself
Valentina’s P.O.V “I feel a bit feverish,” I confessed to the physician and Ethan lifted his hands to my forehead, feeling me up, and I glared at him in response. The doctor has a thermometer what the hell are you being too forward for? As if I could dare to say something like that, instead I slapped his hands away and the doctor’s surprised gaze rested on him. “Just treat her.” He said clearing his throat, he got up and excused himself, giving us space, and only then was the doctor able to concentrate on me. “Are you friends with Ethan?” He asked curiously, a small harmless smile printed on his face, and I barely controlled the urge to roll my eyes, probably in my next life, it didn't seem possible in this one. “You seem very close.” “As if,” I blurted out even before I could stop myself, he seemed taken aback by my response but he chuckled. “You seem quite embarrassed.” He noticed and I turned my face away from him, he dabbed the sides of my mouth with a cotton bud, running it
