Talia's POV.Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! We had no time to race out and we had barely even watched any of the obscene videos he had on his computer. “Oh my God! Talia, what are we going to do? I think he's inside already,” Deej whispered, her brows wrinkling. “I don't know,” I replied. His knob twisted and I quickly ushered Deej into his closet. However, we could barely fit ourselves into it. “There's not enough room for both of us,” Deej mumbled, trying to walk out so I could go in. “No, stay there, I'll hide under the bed,” I whispered back. We both glanced at his bed and stared at each other. We were probably thinking the same thing, only God knew the heaps of trash that were beneath his bed. “Talia, I don't think…” “There's not enough time,” I pushed Deej inside the closet and rushed to take cover beneath his bed. “Ouch,” I cried as my head hit his frame, but I managed to slip in before his door clicked open. My hands felt something wet. Yeah, and his bed reeked of sweat, stale m

Talia's POV. Well, I stood frozen for almost a minute staring at the furious eyes gaping at me. “Well young lady, cat got your tongue? Speak up!” My mother continued, pointing a finger at me with a stern look. What was I supposed to say? That we were playing heroes? That we snuck into Steve's room to…“I… I went…” “Talia, this isn't good at all. You woke us up in the middle of the night,” Mr Carter said with displeasure. I woke them up? I must have been hallucinating, maybe I had split realities or something. “I'm sorry, did you say I woke you guys up? I went out for hours and…” “Have you forgotten you have us stored as your emergency contacts?” Maxton crossed his hands. “No, I haven't forgotten,” I replied, staring at him intently. “Where are you heading at, I don't understand,” “You dialled and we thought it was an emergency.” Maxton replied, glancing at my mother. “Everyone in your emergency list was given a call. My only question is, did you do this for some attention?”

Talia's POV. “Talia Hermen,” the principal pinched the bridge of her nose in exasperation. She heaved a sigh and darted her eyes at me. “Explain yourself.” she said in a commanding tone. Steve gaped at me, his eyes reflecting a pure hatred I never knew he had for me. Somehow, I could see a piece of Zeke in him. They had the same eyes. The same dark spirit. I blinked at principal Riles and swallowed nervously. “Excuse me, why am I here? I hope there isn't any problem.” I said softly. “This bitch!” Steve huffed, looking away with a frustrated smile. “You still have the nerves to lie, do you?” “Don't call me a bitch, you jerk,” I fired. Steve glared at me, then glanced at principal Riles. “Can you believe her? I told you to just kick her out but you wouldn't refuse. Now I have to keep seeing this bum all day,” “Kick me out?” I stepped closer to the principal Riles table. “For what exactly, I don't understand what's going on,” I said with a puzzled look. Principal Riles didn't lo

Maxton’s POV. I should have stayed in the locker room, it would have been best for me, but I had to play hero. I had to run into the mess, now I'm left wondering how I got myself into this. “Is this how you guys planned to handle it as adults?” Principal Riles continued yelling. She tilted her neck in my direction and glanced at me. “And Maxton, what are you doing here? Now I'm convinced you are attracted to drama,” Of course, I caught a stray. I gazed at Talia, her expression twisting like she was about to cut in. Sharply. “What can I say, principal? I was heading in this direction and…” “Principal Riles, please I have to talk to you,” Micheala stepped forward, crossing her arms in a tight hold. She glanced at Steve and gnashed her teeth. “Steve tried to…” “Nobody is gonna believe you, wrap it up!” Steve growled, storming close to her. “I think you should let the girl speak for herself,” the words just slipped out of my mouth. Steve clenched his fist, his eyes darting angrily

Talia's POV. Well, this was going wrong in the worst way it could ever go. I never knew he felt like that. Damn, I never assumed Maxton saw himself as a mess whenever he tried to protect me. I was simply trying to do things on my own terms. My own strength… and things still kind of went awry. “But you act like it.” He added. “I tutored you that night before you went on your little adventure. A dangerous one to be precise. Did you stop to think about what would have happened if he caught you in his room.” “I… I,”Of course I did, but why couldn't I get it out of my mouth? Why was I… scared of saying it? Scared that I'd say something and he'd end this discussion “You have nothing to say?” Maxton cut in, his voice uncertain. “Good chat,” he muttered. “I do but I can't find the right word to say it,” I replied. “You can't find the right words to explain why you snuck into Steve's house? That doesn't sound like you,” he stated, his tone dripping with sarcasm. Then, I took a deep br
