Chapter 11:  Meeting DavidFaith’s P.O.V Like Debby had mentioned, the library wasn’t all that hard to find. And it was humongous!At this time of the day, there weren’t many students inside, or perhaps I wasn’t seeing everyone since the place was huge. Waving a ‘hello’ to the librarian as I showed her my student ID to get inside, I went straight for the isle that had the books I needed to look into in order to finish my homework.On my way however, I did find tons of other really cool books. There were several encyclopedias on marine life and so many other cool books on sea creatures that I had never seen before. Before I came to Florida, I used to be obsessed with the sea and all the creatures that lived in it; so much that I had actually wanted to study Marine Biology, before realizing just how different a hobby and a degree can be. But that didn’t mean I had to give up o

Chapter 13: Anything for the PendantFaith’s P.O.V“You want to go where?” Debby’s eyes were wide as she stared at me like she was seeing a ghost.“Shhh!” I pressed a hand to her mouth so no one else would hear her voice, but Debby just swatted my hand away as if swatting a fly.Thankfully, Aurelia and Aura were both sitting on another table with a couple other boys, looking like they were enjoying themselves, so I wasn’t worried about them coming back to our table. Monika, however, was sitting beside us, enjoying the conversation I was having with Debby, because aside from me, Nik was the only other person who knew about Brandon being Debby’s cousin.“Well…I have no idea ‘where’ exactly…” I laughed nervously. “But he said it was the only way he was going to give me back my pendant.”“That son of a-ugh!&rd

Chapter 15: Accidentally Saving YouFaith’s P.O.V I would’ve fainted.If I hadn't been sitting already and if I hadn't seen that knowing smirk on Brandon’s face…I would’ve definitely fainted.I took the coat from his extended hand, swallowing past the lump in my throat as Brandon turned and left for the shoot where they had set up a fancy sofa on the beach and all the women were gathered around in that area, only in their revealing bikini and perfect bodies.Brandon walked over confidently to the sofa and lay down on it with one of his knees popped up and his hand placed on that raised knee. Another woman went near him then, adjusting the way his shirt remained open and fixing the position of his limbs while another woman was called in to retouch his makeup and hair.I didn’t know why but I didn’t like it. I felt uncomfortable watching the two women put their hands all over him, invading his personal space like it didn’t matter what he felt or not. It wasn’t any different for the wom

Chapter 17: On the Right Track?Brandon’s P.O.V“Yeah…she’s fine Katherine.” I stood at the entrance to the room, watching my cousin lie through her teeth as she spoke to Faith’s aunt. “She’s sleeping on my bed right now. Do you want me to send you pictures or do you want to come get her?”“What the…” I tried to warn her not to ask her aunt over, in fear that she’d see the bandage on Faith’s hand and she’d know that something was wrong…but Debby turned her back to me, blocking me out as she continued speaking over the phone.“Alright. Thanks, Kathy! I’ll send her over tomorrow after breakfast.” With that, she hung up the phone and turned to face me, her hazel eyes sparking with anger.“What the fuck did you do to her?” Debby’s voice changed in a split second, making me roll my eyes.

Chapter 19: BulliedFaith’s P.O.VThe moment Debby and I stepped into the school hallways…it instantly felt like all eyes were on me.I stopped short, a few feet away from my locker, my heart thrashing against my ribcage wildly as I realized just how everyone was looking at me with this strange gaze…like they knew something that I didn’t…like I was being judged for something that I didn’t realize I had done wrong.“Do you feel like everyone in the hallway is suddenly judging us for some reason?” Debby whispered to me in a hushed voice and I immediately nodded.I would have pointed out that I had a feeling that it wasn’t actually ‘us’ by more specifically ‘me’ that was being judged…but my voice was all but gone. I didn’t think I could talk with so many people staring right at me.“Well…well…well…look who finally arrived.”The almost comical way the twin voices sounded from behind me made both Debby and me turn around instantly, not just because I knew it was being directed at me…but be
