It's been a long time since I could talk to someone and nothing happened to her. I worried that she would get hurt if she got too close to my personal space. I let people out of my life, expecting them to ignore me. But, the only people that had somehow cracked a hole in my invisible wall were Logan and Lily.I hope everything between Lily and me isn't going too fast that we would hang out now that she talked to me."Hey, can I have your number?"I looked at her and told her, "No.""What? Oh, come on." She whined. "Don't be so cruel. I thought we were friends here.""We are," I admitted, re-reading the lines."Then why can't you give me your number?'"Because it's broken, my replacement won't arrive until tomorrow," I told her. After Hurricane Athena ended, I had to call for a replacement, and luckily we have insurance in case something would give the carrier to provide us with a brand new phone. But, it doesn't arrive until tomorrow morning. I'm stuck being phone-less."Oh, then I ca

"Run by me that again?" Logan's voice became dark as he asked. I heard Liam whispering to his twin to stop, but that didn't help."That's right, Aphrodite and I are dating, and as her boyfriend, I suggest you get the hell away from her, or there will be consequences." Clark threaten."Oh, brah, you don't know the meaning of consequences because that is what I intend to do when I rip your throat out." His husky voice means that he is serious about hurting Clark. Logan is twice his size because of all the abs he's packing, and I don't think Clark has a chance. So, words are his offense and defense."Well, brah, if you don't want to get in trouble like from your old school. You don't want to give tension to your new friends. So, I suggest you back off."Even with the pain, I had turned slowly to take a peek at Logan and saw he didn't hesitate to tackle Clark. Even with the same age range, Logan is so much bigger and could physically hurt Clark, but mentioning his old school had to stop t

It wasn't long before our date took us to a classy, expensive diner downtown. It was a quiet restaurant with a few people who wanted to enjoy and soft music from the pianist played as we ate. Between bites, Clark and I talked about a few things similar or what we like and dislike, and honestly, I enjoyed myself with him. Clark can be a tease, but he's sweet and does live up to his title as a Prince at school."Well, isn't this a surprise," I heard a female voice as I looked up to see Heather Seely wearing an elegant black gown that fits perfectly around her slim body made me ashamed of my wearing a loose dress? "Clark, I didn't know your here and with a date. You must be the girl he talked about. I'm Heather, his cousin.""Yeah, I know. Nice to meet you.""Heather, our table is over there," My body stiffened once I heard that familiar voice as it made it freeze. "Effie?"Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap!"You know her, Logan?""No, not really," I felt a pang in my heart when he said that. "But

"You okay, Aphrodite," Logan's voice softens as he holds me. I shivered in his arms, covering my face away from the scariest thing that had happened to me.Just take a breather. Breath in and out.I told myself as I gathered much of the air around me until my body was calmer and my heart was steady. And the alluring scent coming off from Logan's own body makes things faster for me.Damn, he smells so good.Okay, wait - no, do not think about how good Logan smell in this situation.Aphrodite, focus. Focus!I was almost raped, and if Logan hadn't been there to save me, then living shouldn't be my priority. I will kill myself and save the trouble of being humiliated."Damn, you pack a punch, Wolfe," I heard Clark coming out of the closet. I turned my head to see him picking up his pants and pulling them up as he wiped the blood from the corner of his lips. "I guess those muscles aren't for showing off after all."Logan growled.I could feel his muscle jerked, trying to keep himself held

I felt so much relieved.Telling everything about Clark Mason about his cousin's plan and the almost rape part, Lily made our friendship so close that she even went ballistic, calling the school's prince all sorts of words her fragile mouth can also say. She even lost her respect for Heather because, like her cousin, both wear masks to hide their ugly faces.Lily spent time with me that it turned dark and she had to go home. When one of her dads came to pick her up, I stayed in my room looking at the syllabus Mrs. Bloomfield had given us at the start of school, and my eyes were on the page about the end of the year musical play.Tomorrow is the main cast's auditions, and Lily suggested that I take on the role of Jasmine because she has confidence that I would make a perfect princess with my singing voice.But, that is the problem.I'm no princess, not even a lady with the whole black wardrobe looking like the grim reaper. Couldn't we do something that I can fit my role as the dead gir
