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
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
