It was my last subject for the day and both Javier and Marcus opted skip class today, leaving me only to deal with an insufferable Dae-Hyun that had fully enjoyed bickering with me, even though Mr. Pozwich shot him the dirtiest glares.I bid the quickest goodbye to Gail, telling her I had to leave as soon as possible. She didn't have time to call me out, as I was already out of the door. I was suddenly just in front of the principal's office.I sucked in a breath and held it in, reaching my hand out to the door knob. The moment I placed my hand on the metal, the door opened on it's own.I gasp and step back. My heart was beating in my ears.A bright skinned woman wearing a blue top appeared and smiled at me. "Oh, bonjour!"I smile back at the woman I had met only once. "Hello Mrs. D'Froi."She smiles again, "Miss, actually."My jaw slacks, "Ah, I'm sorry I imposed.""It's alright," she bid in

I woke up with an unsettling feeling in my chest. I barely couldn't sleep with what Andy told me yesterday. "When they tell you it's nothing to worry about, come see me."When.When.Not if.He took back the word if from his sentence because he was sure. This must mean Andy has done this before, surely. He has tried to tell on the kings and yet they still did whatever they wanted. "Lilac," my mother calls from across the table, "your food's getting cold."I snap out from my train of thought and look upon my family. My father's on his phone, my brother is devouring his food like a monster, my sister and my mother are having a conversation about unicorns, and my grandmother is looking at me with raised brows."Is there something bothering you, darling?" granny asks.I purse my lips, "Is our principal a good one?""Olivia?" my gra

"Hey Roux," I said, as my brother and I walked to school. He hummed at that and turned to me, "I'm going to a football game today, remember?" "That's today?" I nodded. He knit his brows, "Didn't you tell me the morons are on the football team?" My lack of a retort ticked him off.  "You know you never told me what happened to you that one time." "It's fine Roux, I already told the principal about it. She said she'd get to the bottom of it." My brother narrowed his eyes, "Wait, is this why you asked if she was a good person? Do you think she won't do anything about it?" I turned to my brother and sighed, "I really don't know, Roux. I really don't." He nods, "Well, if she doesn't, I'll become the principal of your school." I roll my eyes and chuckle, "Moron. You're under-qualified for that." "What? All grandma has to do is say the word." "Ew, and you want t

Cece caught my hand, and turned to me, "Bebé, do you want to leave?" She screamed over the noise of the crowd, "he hasn't stopped looking at you since you noticed each other. I keep sending him death glares but he seems to only enjoy them."I did want to leave. I really do want to leave. But it wouldn't be fair to Tommy, or Cece, or Kai."Listen, if you're worried about Tommy, I am pretty sure he'd want you to be comfortable, seeing he's so whipped for you." Cece added loudly, over the noise of the crowd, as if she heard my inner thought.I was about to agree, but then I remembered what Tommy told me about the game tonight.I felt my stomach swirl."He asked me out," I shouted at Cece, who then dropped her jaw."OH MY GOSH! What did you say?!""Well... the thing is, he only partially asked me out," I start and then explain the circumstance.Cece laughs

I hiss and whip my head to the guy. His hair glistened against the light and his plump lips were curved in a smile. Stellan looked just as disgusting as I remember."I'm guessing your boyfriend is on the team or you wouldn't have cheered so hard."With a surge of adrenaline, I bit back, "Funny you've never heard of team spirit and naturally assume being supportive is inclined only to romantic relationships."Stellan threw his head back, "Wow. Look at you talking back. Without me you're so misguided and think that girls are supposed to be anything than a good girlfriend."I scoff at this. I was about to reply, but then he cut me off, "I'm glad we broke things off, honestly. No matter how good you are doesn't matter anymore because your father's a corrupted liar. Everything you are, from the blood in your veins and and the money in your pocket is dirty like him." At this point, Kai, who was in the middle of his conversation, looks over
