"First Officer Simon, I need you to take a step back from him," Sophia said as she walked in front of me, putting a distance between officer Simon and me."This isn't any of your business, Sophia, stay out of it," Officer Huston said as he took a step towards Sophia to pull her out of the way, but Leo got to her first, blocking him from getting closer to her."It's best if you listen to the lady and back up Officers, we both know you don't want to cause a scene," Leo growled as he stepped in front of Sophia, his large physique preventing Officer Huston from getting to her which made him quite annoyed judging from his expression."Leo, it's okay, I can handle them," Sophia said as she placed her hand on Leo's shoulder, causing him to move to the side. He turned to face her, a questioning look in his eyes."Are you sure?" he asked."Yes, it's fine, go stay with the others," "OK, Sophia," Leo answered as he turned to walk away, then that idiot Huston thought it was a good idea to threat

The class fell silent, and everyone's gaze fell on me, shock visible in their eyes; I knew what they were all thinking: what the fuck just happened? because the old me would never have had the courage to confront anyone in the past, and now I was going to take on one of my bullies because he had said shit about my best friend and his mother, who is fighting for her life as I speak and the the fact he didn't respect that pissed me off, so i wanted to put him in his place.And this isn't the first time I've found myself not acting like my old self. There was that time with Adam, and to be honest, I like the person I'm becoming because the old me was never going to get anywhere in life.With Leo and Austin's help, I've learned to fight for myself because they allowed me to be who I truly was around them, so I'm not going to let anyone, not even these jerks who had made my life miserable, say shit about them, fuck the consequences."Can you come again, Sam, because I must have heard wrong

Few years ago…..Each year, Riverview High School hosts a junior high spelling bee in which Athena and Dylan were among the children who were taking part in this event this year.The spelling bee has been going on for an hour now, with a child being eliminated every minute if they misspell the word given to them by the judges.Out of 20 students, Athena and Dylan made it to the final round, but as Dylan was about to spell the word given to him, he missed a single letter, and the word was given to Athena, who spelt it correctly and was crowned the winner of the spelling bee.Dylan was furious that the daughter of a nobody was smarter than him and beat him at something he had spent months training for in order to impress his father so that he would finally notice him and stop comparing him to his brother, but Athena had ruined that, and this is where his hatred for her began. To make matters worse, Dylan's father, Mr Thompson, was present and witnessed his humiliating defeat. When ev

"I need your consent or it ends here, Princessa," Leo said, pulling me out of my internal turmoil. He didn't even have to ask because I had my answer before the day even began."Yes, Leo, I want to go all the way," I said, and he immediately stood up, carrying me with him. I wrapped my legs around him, and he supported my body as he carried me towards the bedroom with his arms on my waist.He opened the slightly open door to my room with his leg and closed it behind him once we were inside. He sat me down, his desire-filled gaze never leaving my body as he slowly removed and tossed my blouse away.His hands brushed against my exposed skin as they moved up to the waistline of my skirt. He reached for the zippier on the skirt, slowly pulling it down.When his hands brushed against the curve of my ass, I moaned, and he smiled at how responsive my body was to him. He reached for my hand to help me step over the skirt before picking it up and throwing it on the nearest surface.I stood pe

As we drove through the dimly illuminated streets of town on our way to Hill Park, the sound of my nervous breathing filled the car. The current situation weighed heavily on me, but there was no turning back now. I had struck a bargain with the devil, and now it was time to pay the piper."Austin, are you certain about this? We can always turn back" Leo asked hesitantly, his gaze swept the area looking for any indication of trouble as we approached the abandoned motelI gave him a comforting look to allay his fears. "We don't have a choice, Austin. We need to get rid of Dalton, and those guys are our only hope." Leo nodded, his grip on the steering wheel tightening as we reached the abandoned motel on the outskirts of town, and my heart began to race. Ford had promised to stay out of our lives if we handed over Dalton to them but trusting criminals was a dangerous game.Leo turned off the engine, and we were immersed in silence. The motel loomed ahead of us, its rusted doors squeakin
