"Where do you think you're going?"I was stopped in the middle of the hallway by none other than River and I wasn't surprised."To class," I said flatly, my face straight."Nuh-uh." She shook her head, a wicked smirk laying on her lips. "We need to have a little chit-chat." Who the hell says chit-chat?Before I could tell her to screw off, she yanked my arm and dragged me into an empty classroom."What the hell, River?" I snapped as she shut the door behind us.She turned to face me. Slowly, she narrowed her eyes and crossed her arms over her chest."What do you want?" I pressed, talking slowly. "And where are your minions?""They aren't minions," she rolled her eyes. She stood in front of the door as if she were guarding it because she probably assumed I'd make a run for it. I would have, too. "Tell Dallas you won't go to the ball with him."I scoffed and looked at her in disbelief, "Why would I do that?""Because he only asked you out of obligation." She muttered bitterly, a sour lo

"Hey." Orion exhaled, standing at my doorstep."Hi." I sighed, stepping out and closing the door behind me."Your house is really nice." He complimented as we started walking down the driveway to his car. "And uh... you look nice."I smiled, "Thank you, my moms, big on the interior and exterior designing. And thank you again, I... I don't know, it's a party and if I show up in sweats I won't hear the end of it from Preslie." I was a little flattered because I wasn't wearing anything special. I was in a casual but cute outfit. I was just glad it was too cold out for girls to be dressed in bras and booty shorts. These were the many reasons I hated parties.Orion chuckled, "She is very persistent.""Very." I chuckled lightly as Orion opened the car door for me and waited for me to get in before closing the door and walking around the car."I don't usually see you at these parties. Not that I go to many myself unless I'm dragged there." Orion glanced at me for a split second before focusi

I woke up the next morning with a headache starting to form as soon as I became conscious. I licked my chapped lips as I slowly opened my eyes, taking my time to let them adjust to the sunlight."Hell," I muttered, loudly groaning. "Dallas! Get off me!" I screeched as I threw his arm off of my body. I sat up and realized that I must've fallen asleep in Dallas's room last night.Dallas stirred a bit, a faint incomprehensible mumble coming from him but he didn't wake up.I groaned extra loudly once again and then started annoyingly pushing Dallas's shoulder."Stop," he mumbled, turning so his face was no longer shoved in his pillow. He unconsciously licked his lips. His features were soft, his lips agape the slightest bit, his chest was heaving up and down and his hair was a mess."Are you done checking me out?" Dallas murmured softly, his voice hoarse.I pushed him once again, this time harder, my eyebrows furrowing in embarrassment, "I was not!"Dallas slowly opened his eyes, blinking

My Monday morning started off with Dallas pestering me which I wasn't sure if I should consider a surprise or not at this point. I was standing by some lockers with Orion, having a pleasant conversation when Dallas came over."Ah, if it isn't my little princess!" He chimed cheerfully as he came over and swung an arm around my shoulder."Nu-uh," I quickly shoo his arm off me and took a step away from him, closer to Orion. "Boundaries.""What boundaries?" Dallas asked innocently, feigning a clueless tone. "We slept together, I don't think boundaries exist between us anymore."My jaw dropped when he said that. I knew he was a little rat but that was not expected. I was even more speechless and stunned when I saw how nonchalantly he said that, a smirk laying on his lips."What?" Orion mustered, seeming to choke a bit."That's not - are you - why the hell would you say that?" My sentences were all jumbling together and coming out incompetent as I stuttered, unsure of what to say because I

Preslie was going on all morning about the ball since it was just in a week. I wasn't surprised to hear her yapping off about it but eventually I was tired and irritated of talking about how she wanted to curl her hair so I left.In our school, on the third floor there was a room at the end of the hall that had these massive windows that went up to the roof and overlooked the whole entire football field, parking lot and even further. No students were allowed in there unless it was for a necessary reason but me being me, I somehow had a key. Not that I needed one because picking locks was a talent I had.I was having a weird few days ever since that harsh conversation I had with River so I was never really in the mood to talk to people lately. I was constantly finding myself going back and thinking through River's words over and over again.I was leaning against the banister and staring out at the empty, snow covered field when a presence came behind me."What are you doing here?"I tu

"Preslie, can you hurry up? I can't feel my ass." I groaned, tapping my foot impatiently as I waited for her to finish curling my hair."Stop whining, you look amazing." She smiled as she finished the last strand. "We've been waiting for tonight for so long and now it's finally here. How do you feel?""We weren't waiting for it, you were." I rolled my eyes, standing up and taking a look at myself in the mirror. I had to admit that I did look pretty good.I liked my dress more than I thought now that I was all dressed up. For some reason, I was starting to get a little excited which was weird for me."You look so cute," Ocean smiled, coming over to Preslie and I by the vanity with her phone out ready for snapchat pictures.Preslie was wearing a long and elegant satin light pink dress that has a sequenced piece around the waist. It made her look like a princess and suited her personality.Ocean was wearing a long, light blue, sleeveless dress that flowed gracefully and was jewelled at t

I should probably explain what is going on.River embarrassed me in front of my whole school, then I ran out crying, then I kissed Dallas, then I ran away from him.After running away from Dallas like a fool, I found Dom and had him give me a ride home which he was perfectly fine with. He wanted to stay over and make sure I'm fine but I needed to be alone. Ocean, Preslie, and Orion all tried calling me all night to see if I was fine but I ended up turning my phone off and crying myself to sleep.When I woke up the next morning and checked my phone I had dozens on dozens of missed calls and texts from my friends - including Dallas."Hey Eliza... um I'm just calling to see if you're okay. It's Dallas... by the way. You probably figured that so never mind. I don't really know how to leave voicemails, wow..... But anyways, I'm not sure why you ran off like that but I need to know if you made it home safely. Um, yeah, call me back please.""Hey Eliza, It's Dallas again. Dom told me he drov

Christmas Day"I'll get it!" I yell down to my parents when the doorbell rung. I ran down the stairs and opened the door to greet Orion, as expected."Hey, Liz!" Orion chuckled as I wrapped my arms around his neck and greeted him with a big hug."Merry Christmas, Rio," I smiled as I pulled away from him."Merry Christmas." He returned the smile, staring me in my eyes as he spoke. "I missed you.""You saw me two days ago," I chuckled as I let him into my house."Long enough." He shrugged, taking his coat off and placing it on the coat hook."You're early," I stated as we made our way into the kitchen where my parents were. "I'm still in my pyjamas." I looked down at my pyjamas that had red nosed reindeers all over them."Yes, and they're very cute." Orion nudged me."Good morning, Orion. Merry Christmas." My mom smiled as she placed down a plate of pancakes on the table. He had been spending a lot of time with me so he happened to come over a bit meaning he met my parents and they were
