He left just like that. Who's back to the city? What are they talking about? Iam still upset about his opinion in relationships. I absent-mindedly stood up from my table. I stopped myself before I bump into someone.
" Hey, Milly. Do you want to have lunch with me?" Jason's voice rings in my ears. Of course, I can.
" Yeah, sure. But I think my friend will be joining us too. Is it okay? She really wants to meet you." I told him, looking for Pearl in the class. She's sitting looking at the ceiling, lost in thoughts.
" I'm okay with that. I guess." He said with hesitation. I guess he's not comfortable with that. I can't leave my friend alone.
" I will get her now. Wait here," I walked towards Pearl. " Hey, I know how to get your mind out of Andrian thoughts. Do you want to meet Jason?" I patted her shoulders. Her eyes brightened up.
" Oh,really. Where is Jason?" she stood up fastly as her eyes wandered over the whole class. When she got a glimpse of him, she rushed off with a pen and paper.
All I can see from a distance is she's pleading him for an autograph.
" Keep the note down now. Iam so hungry. I need to eat." I told her." Yeah, sorry. Iam coming." we three left the class and went straight to the canteen. We all got lunch and settled on a table. I had a chicharron and Cuban sandwich. I got so tempted by the food that makes me forget about every other thing.
" Will I get your sisters autograph too, Jason?" Pearl started her annoying talk.
" Stop it, Pearl. We are here to eat and talk like every other student. You got his autograph. I think that's enough. Do you get it?" I harshly spoke for a minute. She stared at me. She must be thinking ' When did Em have the courage to talk to me like that?'.
" I get it." she took her spoon and started eating silently. I didn't expect the lunch would go without a single conversation. But it did. And then Pearl spotted someone from a distance.
" Andrian's here. I can't take this anymore. I'm going to talk now." she left the lunch unfinished and ran off.
" Finally, I got some time to talk. Puff." Jason said with relief. I laughed in return.
" Don't get annoyed by Pearl. She won't behave like this every day." I assured him.
" I won't be talking with her every time. I'm here to talk with you," he said, wiping his mouth after finishing the sandwich.
" I'm hoping to talk with you too. I can hear about Pearl's fight with her boyfriend later." I said, slowly taking a bit of the sandwich so that I could get some time to know him.
" Where do you live? If your mom's a celebrity, you must be living in a mansion. You should also be studying in a rich school, right?"
" This is how everyone thinks. Edgewood High is the nearest school we found in this city. Iam living in a mansion near the Miami beach." he said.
" Oh, that's cool. Do you have any other friends in Edgewood high?" I questioned him, eager to know them.
" Yes, I do. But I don't speak with everyone. Many girls irritate me by their deep intentions. I don't like those who are coming after me for sex and money. I can identify their intentions and cut them off." he talked with frustration like he had a million problems like that. It's good that I don't have anything he mentioned above. I never had sex. How do these girls have sex in their seventeen years? Gross.
" It seems like you won't talk with someone without analyzing them. What did you saw in me which made you think, you can approach me?"
" Um...I guess you forgot something. You got bullied by a dick. I came to help. You looked calm and a total outsider to this high school. I thought I could help you. That's all I guess." he said.
" Yeah...right. From my point of view, you don't look or act like a rich person. I like that. But I need to say, you looked gorgeous in that magazine. You are the reason, I bumped into that guy. I saw your photo while flipping the pages." I admitted what's happened in the garden.
" I didn't see that coming. It was my fault in some unknown way but I got to meet you."
" Yeah...In the ground looking like a coward. Maybe, we should stop talking about that. I regret that I didn't yell back at him."
" Okay. We can stop talking about that. Say something till the bell rings." he asked. A though ran over my mind about our above conversation.
"I have something to ask. You said girls are after you for sex and money? Does that mean you already had sex?"
" Of course, I had. What type of question is this? There's no virgin in Edgewood High. What about you?" He slightly laughed like it's a silly question? For me, it means a lot. But I can tell a lie now.
" Yeah...you are damn right. I was about to say whether you have a girlfriend or not. It ended up by asking about sex. It's silly. I had sex too."
" With who?" Suddenly he got a little serious. Am I good at lieing? I can test myself now.
" With a boy in Paris. He was my boyfriend. But not anymore." I calmly said with any emotions. How can I have any emotions? I never ever kissed a boy.
" Oh, okay. So, you don't have a boyfriend now?"
" I don't have..." I trialled off when Pearl hurried to our table again.
" What's going on, Pearl?" I asked her, finishing off my lunch.
" Whatever isn't supposed to happen is happening. Hereafter, I won't have a boyfriend who's a senior," she said, eating her lunch again.
" Did he broke-up with you?" I assumed it by myself.
" Hell, no. Then I wouldn't be eating at all. I will be crying hard in the bathroom." she said with her mouth full of rice.
At that time, Jason faked a cough. " I will meet you later, Milly. You can talk with your friend." he politely said and left. I watched him leave and turned my head towards Pearl.
" Do you want to share anything with me?" I asked her, keeping a hand on her shoulder with care. She ate the food without giving a reply. Then I noticed tears from her eyes. She's trying to fight back her tears.
" Pearl..."
" Thanks for asking. But I can't talk now, Em. I need some alone time. Sorry." she left with her plate in her hands.
" Don't go, Pearl," I called her but she already ran away. She doesn't need to bear her pain all alone. She should have let me stay with her. I can make her feel better. A relationship always comes with trouble. I'm glad I never been in a relationship in my life.I attended the rest of the class without my best friend. I felt a little alone but I practised with that in my life. I always stay alone with myself. Half of my life has been like that. Anyways, the rest of the day goes faster than I could imagine. All the students are walking in groups, laughing with their friends. I was walking absent-mindedly on the road. How am I going to pass the rest of the day in my home? This thought ran in my mind before someone grabbed my waist and pulled me back from crossing the road.Before I could scream, I saw a car passed the way on the road. I would have taken a step without realizing it. Thank god." What are you thinking, Emily? Can't you be careful?" that famil
Jason: It's not a difficult job to get a girl's number...lolBefore I could text back, my phone rang with the same number. Jason is calling me. I stumbled to hold the phone steady and attended the call." Hey, Jason," I spoke." Hey, Milly. What are you doing?"" Nothing. Just going to binge-watch any series on Netflix. What are you doing? " I told the same thing I said to Ryder. That's what I'm going to do. Somethings never changes." I'm standing in my balcony and talking with you."I listened and remembered a moment from the morning. He said he will teach me swimming." Hey, you told, you're going to teach me swimming. When are you going to do that?' I asked out of curiosity." Oh, yeah, I will teach you, if you come to my mansion."" Won't I learn it in school?"" Nope. I have a swimming pool in my mansion. I will teach you here. I don't want any disturbances. We can get some privacy in m
Oh, god. Can you transport me to any somewhere else? I never watched this scene with a boy sitting next to me. I'm having a different sensation between our thighs while watching this sex scene with Ryder. I could have skipped the part. But I didn't. Instead, I choose to watch it till the next scene comes. Unfortunately, the scene continues for more than five minutes." Are you enjoying this scene, Emily? I thought you are a bookworm who doesn't like these things." Ryder asked, trying to make eye contact with me. I choose not to look at him." I'm a bookworm but I like these things. Can't I watch a sex scene?" I said. But I think I sounded more like ' Can't I watch this scene even though I never kissed a boy or had sex.'" Yeah, you can watch it. But it's all a theoretical knowledge. Don't you want to experience it? " He said. At last, he made me look at me. Why am I getting nervous over this silly thing? Maybe, somethings going to happen." I...I..d
" What the fuck? Who is she?" I shouted." Who the hell knows? I don't know. I don't want to know. I stormed off the moment I came to know the truth. Now all the memories I had with him is going in my mind. Even if it's three months, it hurts like a bitch." Pearl complained, still sobbing." Don't worry, Pearl. You should move one. But one thing is bothering me. You should found out and confronted him." I told her." I know. But I'm stupid. I didn't even suspect. I want to take my mind off this issue. I don't know how Iam going to do it." she frowned." You should have told me earlier. I will do anything to get your mind off that asshole. But first, let's get out off here." I told and make her wash her face and guided her outside of the restroom." What are we going to do now? I already missed too many class in these two days." she rubbed her eyes and followed me in the crowdy hall." I will make sure you won't miss any class and
" Yes, I am. Are you one of his fans?" she questioned me. I'm not a fangirl for anyone." Nope. He's my friend. We are classmates." I told her." Oh, I didn't know that. You are studying Edgewood High too," her eyes widened when she realized I'm not a crazy fangirl but the one who really knows her brother. Wait a minute. What's her name?" Yeah. Don't take it wrong. What's your name? Jason only told he has a sister."" You don't even know me. It feels like an insult. Anyways, I'm Eve Byrne," she's saying everything in a friendly way. Even that warning comes in a friendly way." So, what's your name again?" she added." I didn't say it in the first place. I'm Emily Collins." she smiled and shook my hands. We talked for some minutes till the class gets over. Like I guessed, she's a 9th-grade girl studying in a private institution. I told her that I would come to her mansion today. She looked like she's little excited about it.
I followed Jason to his room. It was tidy. Tidy isn't the thing I expected to see in the boy's room. He has a large bookshelf with novels and educational-related books. As a nerd, I can settle here forever to read every single book. Other than his shelf and desk, there's more awards, certificates in his cupboard. I know he's an intelligent boy, rank holder. But I didn't expect to see too many awards. I wonder how many competitions he participated in his life. Then my eyes wandered over to the king-size bed." Do you like my room?" he asked when I was silently observing his whole room in the entrance." Yeah, I didn't think boys room would be so clean. I like this maintenance. I also wish to come here to read your books," I said, looking into the title of the books. He's havingmore hopeless romantic type of books." You can come here any day. You're welcome here," he said with a smile." Thanks. I have one more question. Are you maintaini
I nodded and we both went downstairs. We reached the pool in a few minutes. It's been a long time since I kept my foot inside the pool. Actually, I don't remember a time when I went to a swimming pool. Maybe the first time is with Jason.When I came back to reality from my thoughts, I saw Jason's taking his shirts off. Not taking. He already took his shirt off by exposing his six-packs. I already stared enough at his body in the magazine. I don't know how many hours will I stare at him when he's standing next to me only in his shorts." Take your clothes off," suddenly he said." What??" I gave him a blank stare." Didn't you brought your swimsuit?"I didn't. I don't even own a swimsuit. Atleast, I have my bra and panties. I will be jumping in with that." Nope. I forgot." I said, taking my top and jeans off. I can't eat dinner with his family in wet jeans and top after swimming. When I was done undressing, I noticed Jason's e
When did Ryder notice Jason?Me: Jason Byrne. I went to his mansion today.Ryder: Oh, really. You went with that nerd.Me: Don't call him a nerd. Besides, I'm a nerd too. You probably know that.Ryder: Yeah, yeah. Come to your window. I want to see you.My head beats faster. I don't think my appearance will be good when I'm in the home. I'm already on my nightdress and loose hair. I went to the window and opened it. Ryder is already standing at the window. He's not wearing his shirt. His tattoos are exposed again. I blinked a few times and texted him.Me: How many time are you going to stand without a shirt in front of a girl?I stared at him waiting for his reply. Then my phone beeps.Ryder: Until that girl stops admiring the view.Me: I AM NOTRyder: Yes, you are, sweetheart.Me: Uhh, no. See you tomorrow. I'm sleepy.I closed the curtains and gone to sleep after that.The next day:
