บททั้งหมดของ I AM NO HERO: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

Taylor's swift voice singing to 'Welcome to New York' blared from my headphones as I stood in front of the University, New York University! I finally made it! The school of my dreams! I've waited so long to get my application from NYU, it was so bad I'd wake up around midnight to check my email and see if I had gotten an admission letter. After waiting for weeks, I later saw that I had been accepted to study literary studies in NYU much to my parents happiness and now I'm finally here. I wheeled my suitcase to my apartment in St George Clark hall. I met a couple of first year students like me in the hallway. Some of them smiled at me and I returned it, others focused on moving their stuff into their apartment and some even came with their parents. I smiled wistfully at a student whose mom was fussing over and asking if she packed some extra blankets because of the cold. I wished my parents too could have followed me but the flight expenses and all. Shaking my head out of wistful tho

She was here! Abigail Howard! I'd recognize her anywhere, those green eyes of hers, her smile, the sound of her laugh! I couldn't believe that she was right here in my house. The moment she entered the house and began dancing was when I saw her. I was in the kitchen watching her dance with her friends, or at least I hope one of them was. The Bieber wanna be guy that was dancing too close to her made me want to go over there and punch him in his smug face. I didn't even know she came to NYU, I didn't know she got in! Looking at her from the kitchen everything about her seems different. She had grown into a woman now, no longer the stiff skinny fourteen year old girl with glasses, now she had curves in the right places and she seems more confident and very beautiful, in that innocent kind of way. I know I wasn't the only one who thought that too, every warm blooded guy in this place thought so, the way they circled around her like flies proved it but she paid them no heed. I wonder if

The rest of the week passed by in a blur. It was just the same routine for me. Wake up, go to class, the library, then come back home to sleep. I declined all invites to hangout with Carlacia and Trevor. Even though they repeatedly ask if I was okay, I tell them the same thing, that I was fine but I know they knew I was lying. I was sitting one day in the dining hall eating a sandwich with a can of soda when suddenly two trays of food slammed in front of me. Startled, I looked up to see Carlacia and Trevor standing in front of me. "Alright fess up." Carlacia said as she sat down on the bench with Trevor, "What the hell is wrong with you?"I immediately pulled a smile on my face, "Hey guys, what's up? I'm absolutely fine and I....""Girl, don't play with us." Trevor cut me off before I could lie to them again, "We know you not fine so don't you lie to us, besides you've had that look all week.""Look? What look?" I asked looking at both of them with a puzzled look on my face. "Like yo

Trevor found Carlacia and I jobs at the bar where his boyfriend's uncle works. The bar is called 'Marty's' which was written in front of the bar in a big bright neon sign. We were so excited for our jobs. Though working in a bar isn't the first idea I would look for a part time job, but the pay was very good. If I gather enough money, I should be able to get myself a new phone by the end of the week. It was a busy Saturday night and my friends and I were working our butts off. We get a lot of customers during weekends, so it was a full house. Some of the customers flirts with us but Carlacia and I turn them down. Carlacia loves the attention she gets though. She flirts with them but I notice when it gets to serious, she turns them down immediately. "You know you are leading them on, right?" I asked Carlacia who was winking at a blonde haired guy who grinned at her from his table.Not taking her eyes off from the guy she answered. "It's not my fault they keep coming back."I smiled at

"What? Kincaid?""What does he want with her?""You know this guy Abby?"All around me the questions were asked by my friends. But I just stood still, my fists clenched. I raised my eyes only to see the bouncer was waiting for my answer while shooting a bored look at my friends who were still interrogating him."I'll go." I announced surprising my friends.Ryan let out a gasp. "What? Abby you can't be serious."I turned to shoot him a small smile. "I am. I'll go see him.""Fuck this." Carlacia cursed from behind me as she stood in front of the bouncer. "If she goes, we are coming with." She said with a note of finality in her tone and my other friends nodded their heads in agreement.The bouncer merely arched a brow up at us. "Miss Abigail Howard was the one who Kincaid requested for. If you all are so eager to meet him, I suggest you book a ticket.""Why you fucking big headed..." Carlacia spat moving towards the bouncer but I pulled her back before she makes a huge mistake."It's ok
