Temptress

Liam stood there quietly in the silent night. The nights in Kingstown were always cold. Added to that, they were now standing at the top, Nora was hit with the chilly breeze. Holding her trembling body, Liam hurriedly got down from the railings and pulled her down. When they reached the car, Nora suddenly pounced on him from behind. She hugged his strong waist, refusing to let him go. Liam stiffened before turning around and held her. “What’s wrong?” “It’s cold.” Nora hugged him tightly. Liam let her hug him and opened the car door and sat inside before pulling Nora on his laps. Snuggling into his embrace, she tried to absorb as much warmth as she could from his body. Liam turned on the heater and pulled the seat behind so they could sit comfortably. Putting her small hands in his broad palm, he rubbed them. Tonight, she wore a s

Tutor her

The following week, Liam did not show up in the school. Nora sent him countless messages and emails, but he did not answer any of them. Even Jackson did not know about his whereabouts. Nora was concerned but somewhat frustrated at how he would disappear telling no one. That was until one day when the school held a meeting with the students for their upcoming term ends, did he show up. Entering the class, as usual, Nora’s first reaction was to see if he was present or not. After seeing the familiar figure, she was elated. Today, he was wearing a round-neck black sweater with a white shirt underneath whose collars rested on the top of the sweater. He looked devastatingly hot. It was a blessing to see such a handsome face early morning. She put down her bag and greeted him cheerfully. “Morning!” Liam, who was fiddling on his phone, grunted in acknowledgment. It was onl

Fight over lunch

After school, Nora was immediately pulled into the student union’s office by Liam. He planned on taking her out but then realized his father’s men were keeping a tab on him everywhere. The only place safe right now was his office. Nora also agreed with his arrangements. They were nearing completing the project, and she could ask him to help her in her studies. Their takeout was yet to be delivered, so Nora took the time to explain to Liam the errors in the reports. At that moment, the door to the office opened and Nancy strutted in, swaying her hips. “You’re such a workaholic! It’s already so late and you are still working.” She exclaimed as soon as she entered. Hearing the voice, Nora raised her head and stared at Nancy, wondering if the latter had nothing to do with her life. As long as she had free time, she would come looking for Liam.

The big bad wolf

Nora and Jessica walked inside the cafeteria and sat at their usual table where two girls, Tori and Bree, awaited their arrival. Tori had strawberry blonde hair and narrow eyes whereas Bree had black eyes and brunette hair. The two of them weren’t considered close to Nora and Jessica but nevertheless enjoyed each other’s company. The atmosphere there was, as usual, peaceful. Sofia, the timid blonde girl, had also fit well among their group. Usually, she would accompany Liam and others. The boys back there would always engage in a conversation that made her easily embarrassed and hence she thought it was a good time to broaden her contacts and now spent most of the time with Nora. On various occasions, she would invite Nancy over, too. But the latter always stuck to Liam like glue. And knowing her personality, Sofia wouldn’t push her further. Though Nor

Exams

Nora entered the office, and the scene that greeted her left her stunned. Behind the desk, a devastatingly hot Liam sat working on the computer. He wore a dark green shirt and black pants. The gold-rimmed glasses rested on the bridge of his nose, further adding to his charms. Nora admitted, Men looked sexier when they worked. Sensing her entrance, Liam paused his meeting and raised his head. “Wait for a while. I’ll be done soon.” His deep voice resounded, and he went back to his work. Nora snapped back from her daze and replied. “Oh... okay!” Walking over to the couch, she sat down and started with her revision. While solving the questions, she sneaked glances at the man. After thirty minutes, a loud bang echoed in the room. Plopping on the table, Nora let out a frustrated groan. Thirty minutes! That was the maximum she could hold herself up. Just looking at the numbers gav

I like you

After exiting the regular building, Jessica went to look for Jackson while I went to the special building. For the last few days, Liam has been ignoring me for god knows what reasons. His face was naturally cold, but recently it looked so dark that even dogs were afraid to go near him. As such, everyone on the campus avoided him like a plague. I had long gotten to his mood swings. Knowing his temperament, I stayed within my boundaries lest it would provoke him. But today was an exception. Next month I would be leaving for Australia and before that, a few of our friends planned to go camping. I could have informed Liam via message, likewise avoiding him, but I thought it would be better to tell him in person. Pushing the door inside, I entered the office, only to find silence in the room. I searched around, but there were no signs of Liam in the cold room. Like the owner, ev

You're just a whore

Jealous? Slut? Boyfriend stealer? I balled my fists and clench my teeth so hard that it was hurting. How shameless of him to say that I am the one chasing after him when it was him pestering me all the way! I could practically feel smoke coming out of my nose as my body trembled. And Sofia, this stupid bitch. I knew it. I just knew it. This was why I had warned her against men like Alex because I knew, given her personality, she was bound to be taken advantage of by them. I had good intentions and didn’t want her to suffer because I genuinely considered her as my friend. But I didn’t know that this wretched would trust this freaking bastard over me. There was not a time when I haven’t saved her every time she got bullied. Not a time went by when I didn’t treat her as one of my people. And this is what I get in the end. I was so done doing good for people!

Not worthy to even wipe my shoes

Nora did not know what was in the pictures that Alex showed Sofia, but from their conversation, she was positive that he was following her every move. Wasn’t that the biggest evidence? Only fools like Sofia would believe them. Besides, she still had a few letters Alex sent her every day. She would then see how he dares to remain arrogant. Sofia grew terrified, fear written all over her face. She was immediately reminded of what Alex told her. ‘If I don’t accept her, she wouldn’t let me live in peace' She didn’t need to think twice because she knew what Nora was capable of. She hastily caught Nora and convulsed her. “If you want to get revenge, come at me. Don’t hurt Alex, he’s innocent. It has got nothing to do with him.” “Let go,” Nora warned. But as though Sofia had lost her mind, she screeched at her like a madwoman. “You’re a bitch, a fucking damn whore who keeps spread

Filthy disgusting

I tried to minimize my presence and quietly leave the office without alerting the adulterous pair, but blame it on my bad luck I accidentally kicked the chair in front of me, which fell with a thud. The noise startled the two, and the PE teacher yelled in panic. “Who is it?” I wished so badly I could slap myself in the face right now, wondering why the heck I couldn’t avoid getting into trouble. “I think someone is in the office. But who could it be? All the staff members are in the assembly hall.” Ms. Marie asked, confused. “What if it’s a student?” the PE teacher guessed. Ms. Marie’s expression changed immediately, and she shouted. “Crap! What are you waiting for? Don’t let them get away or we’ll be in big trouble.” I somehow scrambled out of the office and ran across the hallways. I assumed they wouldn’t go all out, but boy, I was wrong. The PE teacher chased

Heartless

That day during the PE break, Nora had seen Liam entering the science laboratory. She was surprised to find him in the lab when everyone else was on the ground. Her eyes lit up at once when she thought how she would stumble upon his secret inside and hence followed him sneakily. When she entered the lab, however, reality proved to be different. What she saw differed totally from what she had imagined. The so-called secret did not exist. Instead, she noticed Liam behaved abnormally and seemed to have difficulty in breathing. “Are you okay, Liam?” She walked towards him, and before her hands could touch him, Liam flung her away mercilessly. “Get Lost.” Shocked by his sudden outburst, Nora was confused. The boy in front of her began clutching his hair as he groaned in pain. She wanted to go over and help him but didn’t know-how. Just as she was contemplating, he paused
