After leaving a text to Blake on how she was going to hang out with her friends, she left with Emma and Mark to the arcade.The arcade was in a shopping mall not that far from the school. It was a fancy mall. Luckily, she didn’t have to pay for anything.Although Liam provided her with pocket money, she preferred to stay away from spending it. It was her own way of maintaining her pride.The two of them were familiar with the arcade compared to Sylvia. That’s why, she let them introduce the games to her. There were lots of fun games.Sylvia was concentrated on playing basketball. Watching the ball go through the hoop, she was determined to break her previous score. Couple of times, the ball missed the hoop, but as she played more and more, she grew better at it.She carried on until her arms started to hurt. Feeling a little thirsty, she left outside to get a drink after informing Mark and Emma about it. The three of them played separately, but it was fine for them. That’s how they en

For the rest of the ride, Sylvia gave the man beside her silent treatment, believing she had the right to be mad. Nonetheless, because of how exhausted she was and how steadily the car moved, she fell asleep.Once Blake stopped the car in front of a hotel, his eyes fell on her. He got down from the car and opened the door for her before attempting to shake her awake.However, Sylvia groaned.“You go off. I will sleep in the car,” she expressed, finding her current position to be comfortable.At this, mischief crossed through his eyes as he asked, “Aren’t you afraid of a ghost kidnapping you?”That got her to blink her eyes open immediately, and she glared at him. Then, extending her hand, she voiced out, “Carry me.”He shot her an unamused stare at it.“I will be mad if you don’t.”And that’s how, Sylvia was carried by Blake on back. She leaned her head on his shoulder as she wrapped her hands around him and closed her eyes.It was comfortable.Blake booked one room for the two of the

It was humiliating.And also frustrating.Sylvia’s punishment was to write a five thousand word report on how she regretted sneaking out and she wouldn’t repeat it. To make it worse, she had to copy it twenty times.Wasn’t five thousand words too much?According to Liam, she should make it as sincere as possible and no filler words can be used. At that moment, Sylvia wished to take her own life.This man was insane.Writing five thousands words wasn’t the issue here. It was her lack of creativity because she can see herself writing hundred words most. That too would be dragging it.But it’s Liam of course.She never won against him.He confiscated her phone until she was over with writing the report. Sylvia might not have wide range of contact in her phone, but that didn’t make the device any less important to her.That’s why, Sylvia pulled at all-nighter, going through the internet and trying to find tricks on how to make the report as large as possible.At the same time, she pondere

Inside the class, Sylvia tapped her finger on the table, wondering whether she was being too harsh or lenient. Nonetheless, she did feel happy to learn that her artwork got others interested.It would be embarrassing if it went unnoticed.However, with the way it blew up, it wouldn’t surprise her if the content gets deleted soon. After all, the other party was Blake. He shouldn’t let this circulate for long.Her attention was distracted when the door to the classroom slammed opened loudly. Loud stomping was heard after it. Sylvia turned her head at that to see an enraged figure standing in front of her.“What the fuck is wrong with you!?” he yelled.Sylvia feigned confusion in her eyes.“What do you mean?”That only got him further pissed off. Reacting aggressively, he threw off the books and stationaries from her table, making Sylvia flinch.“What are you doing right now?” Sylvia glared at him, but the ferocity in her eyes didn’t match up with his. She got up.“Delete it,” he ordered

Sylvia was taken aback by Blake’s presence. From his expression, he appeared to be displeased to be here.“What are you doing here?” she questioned.“Get up,” he ordered.Under that gaze of his, she felt very much nervous. Therefore, while trying to climb up, she slipped, causing her palms to harshly slide against the rough surface. A wince escaped from her lips. The fall made her hurt her ankle.This made Blake frown at her.“What are you? A child?”“What’s it to you? Mind your own business, and get lost from here,” she retorted.“Why should I? Seeing you so pathetic puts me in a great mood,” he expressed.Sylvia was almost convinced that he came here to watch her be miserable. Although annoying, she could only resort to annoying him. Holding in on the pain, she attempted to climb up while hoping she doesn’t fall down again and end up hurting worse.As she struggled, she heard the footsteps. Before she could process it, she was picked up and carried to the top before being placed dow
