Ethan’s P.O.VValentina stared hard at the broken glasses, and she withdrew her shaky hands ignoring me as though I wasn’t there, she began to pick up her books from the floor, and one of them caught my eyes. It was a plain white book with folded edges, it seemed like a fictional book. “Valentine’s Day” was the supposed title, it was written in bold blood-red letters, I was interested in the book because this is the first time I’ve seen such a unique title. I snatched the book out of her hands and I stared hard at it, the book was written by “Guillotine” who the hell is that? I had never heard of such an author, and it made me even more curious to know what the content of the book was. Valentina’s head was raised in my direction, but I couldn’t tell if she was looking at me because her hair was covering more than half of her face. “Please give me back that book,” She whispered as she stretched out her hands, if not for the dead silence that was in the hallways I would have missed w

Valentina’s P.O.V I don’t know why Ethan seemed to be very interested in how I got the wound on my face, it was none of his business, but I felt telling him was the least I could do since he allowed his doctor to attend to me. I didn’t ask for it, but I still felt indebted to him, the doctors’ eyes narrowed suspiciously at my confession not buying it. Any other thing would only threaten my family, I don’t blame Ron for hitting me since I brought it upon myself, it was selfish of me to even think I could have a conversation with Mother. I knew I should have avoided her that evening, if only I had done that, none of this would have happened. The doctor applied some soothing balms after he was done cleaning and disinfecting my wounds, he handed me the rest of the balm and prescribed me some painkillers. “You should massage your neck with the balm, in the morning and night, use a cotton swab for your eyes.” He advised as he arranged his equipment back into his bag. “Use the painkil

Valentina’s P.O.V “Valentina,” I raised my head as soon as I heard my name, Mrs. Cindy, our management teacher called me. “Please carry these test manuals to the staff office.” “Yes,” I stepped out of my desk, and stalked towards the table to pick up the test manuals, I wondered why she called for me instead of the class president but anyway, I would rather be anywhere but in the class.The swelling on my face had reduced, thanks to the balm Ethan’s doctor gave to me, the pain had also lessened and I wanted to thank him, but I couldn’t do that anymore because I had drawn the line. That bastard needs to know his place, I might be poor but that doesn’t make me less of a person. “Ouch!” I hissed in pain when I tripped on something or rather someone’s legs, I lost my balance and my knees collided with the marble flooring of the hallways. “Ahh… Valentina, I didn’t see you there.” Lucille chuckled, she was as annoying as ever, I lowered my head to take a closer look at my knee, and it w

Travis’s P.O.V“Now, tell me what is the meaning of this nonsense, Travis?” Ms. Carla asked with challenging eyebrows creased at me. “I know you didn’t do it.”“Yes, I did it,” I answered back, making her more speechless. “I will accept any punishment given to me.”“Even an expulsion?” She drawled curiously, and I paused for a while, wondering how my father would react to his son getting expelled from school. Since he is also friends with Mr. Lords, I am very sure the school could reach an agreement, this is something that wouldn’t happen if it were Valentina in my shoes. “Are you willing to get expelled?”“If that’s the punishment decided by the school disciplinary committee, then I do not have a choice,” I answered very confidently. “However, I’m willing to apologize to my classmates, Ms. Cindy and Valentina, for my misconduct.”“Travis, you are one of the best students this school has ever had.” She reminded me. “Taking responsibility for something like this would only tarnish you

Ethan’s P.O.VI stepped back into the classroom with a slight smirk on my face, there was a small sting at the corner of my lips because the conversation ended with Travis hitting me across the face… well there is a first time for everything.It could have been more than that if I also decided to resort to violence, but it would be pathetic if I were to fight Travis over a girl like that, Valentina was not in her seat, and I couldn’t help but wonder if she had gone home already.Travis got everything settled, by sacrificing himself, the least the bitch could do is to stay in class and utilize his sacrifice. I don’t know if it’s just me or the classroom was a bit off, everyone seemed to be discussing something interesting, and I can’t help but wonder what I missed.As I approached my desk, I stepped on a hard-cover notebook, I frowned slightly, who left such a cute notebook in the center of the classroom, I bent to reach for it, apart from having a pretty cover, it also had small cute
