All Chapters of Jacob Hale: Enemy’s Secret Toy: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

JacobThe red smeared across my locker wasn’t paint. Of course, it wasn’t. I smelled and almost tasted the metallic tang of it. I knew that smell very well. It was the same smell from the night my parents died. My stomach turned. The hallway was filled with students, their buzzing voices bouncing off the walls. Their fancy polished shoes clicked on the old marble floor, their laughter echoing through the ceiling. No one cared to glance at me or what was happening to my locker. Typical private school. Everyone always seem to turn a blind eyes and mind their business here, until it’s time to bully someone. I touched the substance, rubbing it between my thumb and pinky fingers. This was too thick for paint. Too real. Maybe a… A low “tsk tsk tsk” sounded behind me. The voice and were all too familiar but I didn’t want to jump into conclusions. “I see someone is desperate for attention.”I knew that voice. I spun around immediately. Daniel leaned against the locker next to min

Jacob I was woken by a loud bang on the door. "It's game tryouts tonight! Wooo!" Kenny's agitating voice was loud, just outside the door. "I know you must be excited, dear Couz."And I could have truly been excited if the tryouts were weeks ago, but now? It wasn't the right time to put myself in the spotlight, with all the torments from Daniel and creepy texts from whoever else had decided to make my life a living hell.I was good at almost every sport, especially soccer. I played so well at my old school, that I even made team captain. But it was different here.I didn't have any friends here, and the only people I spoke to weren't very nice to me. There was Daniel and his friends. Kenny and his minions. The creepy whoever watching and taking pictures of me sleeping."Go away K," I managed to say as I tried to rub off the sleep from my eyes."So eager to chase me away I see. Danny must be in there then."I almost fell while running to the door. I opened it and there was Kenny with t

JacobMr Richard slammed the door behind him. The sound of it echoed painfully in my head. I collapsed onto the soft carpet in Daniel’s room, my fingers digging dip into it like it would save me from the mess I’d just gotten myself into. “What the fuck just happened? What did I just do?”I couldn’t believe Mr Richard would just casually walk into a room in the dorm… and Daniel’s room?For a second, my whole body trembled and I wanted to run after him, to call out to him, but I couldn’t. Couldn’t get my legs to move, or my mouth to speak. Daniel stood there, unmoving. His shorts still dropped at his ankles, and his face was inscrutable. There was no panic… or rage, just pure amusement and a tinge of disappointment. It was like he knew this would happen.“You look pathetic. Get up from the floor,” he said, pulling his shorts back on. His voice was low. I couldn’t speak as my lips still burned from the kiss… the reckless, stupid kiss that had caused all this. The very one I initiated

Daniel The Spanish classroom smelled like a a new oil paint. They were fixing it up so the students can start using it again. This might be the last time the place would ever be empty, which meant I’d have to find a new empty classroom for some peace and quiet. I was just about to shut my eyes for a few seconds of sleep when I heard the whispers in the hallway. “Someone said they saw them together, going at with each other at the garden.” Sam from class b was telling his friends. I could see them because I was already at the door. Had no idea who they were talking about until I opened the door. The hallway suddenly fell quiet. “That’s him,” another boy said quietly, pointing towards my direction. My heart sank, not because I was scared of the rumors, but because I knew Jacob too well. I wondered how he would feel if he heard this. Knew I needed to do something before things got out of hand. Went straight to the boy who was pointing at me earlier. “D..D…Danny,” his voice trembling

DanielThe woods was dark but I could see Jacob’s eyes grow bigger when we heard someone coming. His whole body stiffened beside me.He couldn’t move. His hand was still in my pants, shaking and I knew if I didn’t drag him out of there as soon as possible, we would get caught and that would not end well for either of us.Especially for him. We both had a lot to lose of course, but it would be easier for me to start over. It wasn’t the same for him. I might be the prince of the school, but there are limits to what I’m allowed too. Like going outside the school premises, especially at night and without permission.The teachers let me do whatever I wanted in the house. The other staff too but if they ever saw me here, in the woods with Jake, that would mean an endless yelling from my parents, or worst of all, I could go back to being home schooled. Huh! That was my worst nightmare. Ever. Being dragged back into the Cobbs manor. That would mean zero freedom, no friends, and no Jacob.
