QUINN’S POV   “Are you ready? You got this” Evander told me. We are walking upstairs to present our advocacy the other department are already done. I’m nervous, I must admit. This will be the first time I will be facing the crowd and speak on stage. Since yesterday Evander has been saying encouraging words. Although I am not used with it, I don’t really have to hear it from him but the initiation he had done, I appreciate it. We stepped on the podium and hold the mic. I took a deep sigh before speaking. “I am Quinn Amethyst Barclay, junior from *** department” I stated. “I am Evander Ludwing, junior from *** department” after he said that the crowd applauded and some are even cheering for him most particularly the girls. “To all students out there, fighting their silent battles, our advocacy “Hear to Help” is dedicated to you” and the cheers got louder when he started to speak. He really has a great influence and

QUINN’S POV “Please, get the hell out of my life,” I said while walking out he still keeps on following me.“I’m not going to stop until you talk to me,” he said.He walks in front of me spreading his arms to block me. I look at him sharply but he keeps his composure and speaks.“Why did you walk out,” he asked.“Because you’re disgusting” I simply replied attempted to pass through her but he was able to stop me.“I’ll come with you,” he said. I furiously look at him and speak.“Can you just stay out of my sight? Leave me alone? Can you do that?” I told him. I don’t anymore know how to get rid of him. He’s way too assertive to get rid of.“I’ll behave I promise” he replied.I think I couldn’t stop him from intriguing me and a waste of energy ha

QUINN’S POV: Rhys and I are already at the airport waiting for the rest of the girls. A few minutes later, Jai arrived. She doesn’t want to come with us at first but Hailee and Ara convinced her so she was here. We would have canceled the trip if were incomplete. We waited for Ara and Hailee to arrive. “You want to eat something,” Rhys asked. I’m a little starving and I haven’t eaten my lunch yet. No one’s around the house I used to eat at school so I’m basically unable to prepare my food. “Does your mom know where you’re heading at?” Rhys asked while we are waiting upstairs where the food court is. Jai stayed there so that when the girls arrived, they will know where we are. “She didn’t” I simply responded. “WHAT? She might worry about---” “She won’t. We barely saw each other even when we were living under one roof. She would leave home while I am asleep and she would go home late when I’m already asleep. You think she will worry?” I stated. “Oh… is that so” We bought some f

QUINN’S POVI woke up in the clinic and the first person I saw is Rhys. He’s worriedly looking at me.“Hey, hey, don’t move. Just lay back” He concernedly told me.When I felt my abdomen hurt, I decided to follow Rhys. I lay back releasing a deep sigh and stare at the ceiling.“Do you remember everything?” he asked.Without looking at him I answered, “yeah”I remember everything that happened, clear and fresh. I don’t feel the fear anymore but earlier, it was like everything suddenly flashed back to me and I am just shaking and crying with nothing to do about the man. I feel really useless. Why do I always end up really weak when I needed my strength most to defend myself?“Evander… he saved me…” I gently utter.I hate him so much. I don’t like his vibe and his presence irritates me but when he hugged me earlier, I feel the comfort, I feel safe and secure. I feel like with that hug, I am okay.It’s weird but that hug is very sympathetic and warm. I find comfort in his arms.“Yes, he d

QUINN’S POV“Is everything set and ready?” Rhys asked after we are all gathered outside.“Evander is not here yet---”“I’m here!”He’s coming close with his bags on his shoulder until our eyes met and I have to look away because I f*cking feel awkward!This is not me! I always have the ability to play with guys seducing them just to get revenge and now he can easily tame me. This is so irritating.“Let’s go” I said and pull up all my things and walk first before them.We ride a to the airport silently and I like how quite it is. After reaching the airport, we buy tickets and waited for a while before we take off. Every one of us is already inside the plane so I have to find my seat beside the window, as what I always like to be positioned.I seated and waited for Rhys to come since he’s last on the line while I am first so I got a seat first among us all.“Where are you going?” I asked when I finally saw Rhys but he’s passing me towards the back.“My seat is at your back” he simply st
