"So, what’s the story behind the glow?" Jane asked me from across the counter. I noticed her staring at me for a long while but I refused to look at her. I feel she’s thinking of something I might not want to talk about.I try to cover the obvious smile on my face as I cleared my throat while chopping the carrots "No particular reason." I shrugged "Really?" She rest her arm on the counter and placed her faceI nodded humming my response. God! I have no idea why I can’t stop smiling. It’s so crazy, I normally stop smiling the moment I’m being stared at or asked why I’m smiling but now I can’t stop smiling. Maybe it’s because I can’t stop thinking of last night. Last night was great, it’s always great with Ashton.Jane groan "So you’re not gonna tell me?" "Tell you what?" I inquired looking at her and then then the carrots I’m choppingShe rolled her eyes "I don’t know, perhaps you should tell me why you are smiling over chopping a carrot?" She requested "I already told you, it’s not

~ ASHTON’S POV"Don’t you get it!" My mom snarled at me "This is important Ashton, you have to understand, I'm not playing games or anything here!"I rolled my eyes as I try to push back my imagination of punching her in the face. I swear to god if she wasn’t a lady or even my mom, she would have regretted my actions because what I’m gonna do to her…… God! I am so sick of her."Don’t you want good for your people? Don’t you want us to move further? Try not to be selfish Ashton, sometimes it’s not about you but the people." Mom snorted at me and I groaned.She never stops talking about this, she’s always blabbering about things, complaining like I’m not good enough. "You need to act fast before someone else gets the opportunity. You need to act fast, this is important and I don’t want you ruining it or backing out.""Gosh, mom! Can you please stop with the complaint and commands? I’m trying my best," I said in the same tone she spoke to me"Well, that’s not enough. I don’t want your b

The second I got to the library bathroom, the tears I was holding back before streamed down my face. God! I feel like the most foolish person in the world right now. How can be so stupid, why did I tell Ashton that I am attracted to him? Oh my god! I’m such an idiot! He’s gonna hurt me even more now that he knows I’m attracted to him. I sigh grabbing hold of the sink. Why am I attracted to someone that finds pleasure in hurting me? Ashton doesn’t care about me, he doesn’t want me around, he doesn’t want anything to do with me, in fact, he feels nothing but hatred towards me, after all, I’m a human what do I expect? I just wish I’d never met him before, I wish all this haven’t happened.Hot tears stream down my face and I feel my throat closing up. I want to scream my lungs out, scream away the pain but I’m afraid I won’t feel any better, it’s just gonna make me feel worse, make me think of Ashton. Why? Why can’t I stop thinking about him, why is my heart destined to feel that way, to

I woke up to a knock on my door, turning around I groaned while putting a pillow on my ear. Without answering whoever is knocking on the door, I heard the door opening. "Good morning Maya." I hear a voice say. I turned around, and I opened my eyes halfway to see who it is. It is Marta, she is standing by the door. "Good morning," I responded to her. My voice came out drowsy. "I’m sorry for disturbing you Maya, but someone is here to meet you." She said "Okay, I will be up in a minute." I turn around rubbing my eyes with the back of my hand. I sit on the bed, stretching my arms. The minute I heard Marta close the door a yawn escapes my mouth and I slam my head into the pillow. I allow myself to sleep for just two minutes but soon two minutes turned into two hours without me realizing it. I roll over in the bed with a sleepy moan. I was having the weirdest yet most wonderful dream that involved several underdressed men, each one of them resembles Ashton for some reason. I don’t wan

~ MAYA’S POV"I don’t really understand, what kind of a name is Baby?" I inquired just to annoy him. Baby has been ignoring me for a while and I am bored so I decided to annoy him. "You could have had other names maybe something like Morris or maybe Chandler or even Joey. Those are good names but Baby-" I chuckled "It seems so weird for an adult, you know."He ignores me again and I sigh as we walk down the street. We are on our way to the library. Baby wants to use their computer to know what that code means. He tried to figure it out on his own but couldn’t. "What if I come up with a name for you?" I said as I wack my brain to think "How about Zayn? It’s a nice name.""Oh wow!" He said "I know right, Zayn is a pretty good name.""Not that, this." He lifts the paper. It is the paper that Baby and I found inside my pendant. When the sun shines directly on the paper, some of the words that are written on it pop up. There is too much space between the words so I figured most of the w
