"Thank you so much," I smiled at the little kid who was returning the book that she had borrowed two days back from the library.My stomach was already in knots as the clock kept ticking closer towards 8 pm. Tristan would be here any minute and I was freaking out. I knew he had a test today and I really hoped he did well.Besides getting paid, I wanted him to do well and a small part of me wanted to end this whole tutoring as it felt a bit weird to be teaching him and kissing him but at the same time, I was worried he wouldn't want anything to do with me outside of tutoring. Last night's conversation literally left me speechless and I didn't know where we stood exactly. It was like we were having our own private world between the four walls of his room. My thoughts were interrupted by the loud honking of his fancy-ass car and I collected my things to leave immediately.After closing the library, I walked towards his car an

'We are done. Please don't text me or talk to me ever again.'I sent him a text and switched off my phone that night after Lucy left. I also told my dad not to let Tristan in, if he ever comes home to see me.I couldn't sleep peacefully and kept watching sad romance movies to make myself, even more, sadder and finally, I fell asleep, exhausted from all the crying.The next day, I had no motivation to go to school but I had to, so I dragged myself to the shower and cringed at my own reflection in the bathroom mirror. My eyes were all swollen and puffy and my face was pale and lifeless.Don't even get started about my hair.After scrubbing myself clean for the next thirty minutes, I got dressed wearing a black t-shirt and skinny blue jeans. I pulled my hair back into a messy bun and tried to look presentable by concealing my puffy eyes and applied some tinted lip balm. Feeling s

"So he told, you were his girlfriend in front of the entire school?" Lucy asked as soon as we were out of our classes and on our way to the cafeteria."Yes, Lu and he said Bethany was his friend and he was helping her to make some guy called Mike jealous," I replied, rubbing my forehead.I had a lot of things on my mind and this was all so fucked up. I kissed Tyler for no reason and cried my eyes out for absolutely nothing at all. I did trust him now and felt so bad after hearing him out. What I did was out of spite and it must have hurt him a lot.Ugh!I hated this stupid mess."Yeah, Bethany likes Mike. Don't you know about this?" she asked casually, sitting down at our regular seats at the cafeteria with her cold coffee while I gave her a shocked expression."You know her?""If you had told Bethany was the blonde chick, I would have told you

"Oh my god! That was fucking amazing." I laughed and kept jumping up and down in excitement as we came out of a game stall. It was a shooting game and we both won a cute little fluffy panda."It's all yours." He chuckled beside me, pulling me closer, and kissed the side of my head."This is so much fun." I giggled and kept walking ahead of him and my eyes roamed freely, wondering where to go next.Gosh! I was behaving like a little kid. "Tristan!" I called out and turned around to find him looking at me fondly with his hands in his pocket."Umm...I'm sorry for being all jumpy and excited." I blushed, hiding my face behind my locks of hair."Are you kidding? I love it. I'm having so much fun just watching you be all happy and carefree." He took my face between his hands and kissed me square on my lips."It's just that...My dad took me only once to the ca

I kept pacing around in my room not knowing what to do. She wasn't picking up my calls and I was getting worried with every passing minute. I fell on my bed with a loud groan and suddenly my phone vibrated on my hand.'I'm so sorry, Ri. Will explain everything tomorrow.' - Lucy."What is that supposed to mean?" I spoke to myself and shook my head. At least she wasn't in any kind of danger. After letting out a huge sigh, I placed my phone on the bedside table and fell asleep immediately as the exhaustion took over my body."Where the hell were you last night? We were worried sick, Lu." I hissed as soon as I got in her car the next morning and removed my bag to place it behind my seat."I'm so sorry, Ri. I should have told you but I didn't know it was going to happen and when Andrew asked, I panicked and I--" She paused as her ey
