Samantha's POV“I have been standing here for almost fifteen minutes. Where have you been?” Dad asked; immediately I was on his side."Sorry, Dad, guess who I met? Alex Volkov." I said with a huge smile plastered on my faceThe coldness in his eyes only intensified“Sammy, don't tell me you kept me waiting because you were talking to my biggest enemy.”I quickly checked myself.“No, Dad, we didn't really talk. He was standing right there, and it wouldn't be nice not to say hello to such a great person.”He sucked his teeth to indicate his disapproval of what I did.“My God, Sammy.” His voice lowered with disdain“How stupid can you be? At least when your brother was here, he never got into any trouble.”My lips twitched at the corner. If Samuel were here, he would be saying something different.It was a whole ball game to please my dad.Alex Volkov was everything you'd call polite when we spoke. I am sure Dad doesn't want to hear about that.At least. The man recognised my talent, and

Samantha's POV. Rushed whispers filed through the hall as Adrian and I walked side by side to class for the day.Hands pointed towards us. My hands tugged at the handle of my backpack really tightAdrian walked with his nose in the air. The nasty words they threw at us just bounced off his body like a trampoline.“Pssst, Adrian, I think they are talking about us?”“Hmmm, really? I don't know.”The fact that he remained unperturbed about it made me feel uncomfortableI was the only one being hit hard by their nasty words.“Gossip thrives in a school like Northbrook's academy, so don't be shocked.”How can I not be shocked? I literally told him the other day to go after Jenny and change whatever notion she had about us.He stopped at the passageway that divided our classes.“I'll see you during recess. We don't know what Jim might be planning. With me, you'd be a lot safer.”I thought so as well, but now, the students think I am a boy that is interested in a relationship with Adrian Vo

Samantha's POVIt felt good to be home, just for a break, and not for some stupid injury.Mom's face was all lit up when I entered the house.How I have missed her warm embrace.“You've become lean, Sammy," She said once she let go of my body.I shrugged. It's expected when I get into practice every day for the tournament.“Your hair is growing too," she pointed out My hand went to the back of my hair consciously.It was already touching my neck. I'll have to cut it before going back to school.“How have you been, mom. Hope you aren't bored with Sam out of the country."She let out a sigh, and that sigh explained it all.She was bored to the bone and alone“Dad told me about your first tournament game. I'm sorry I couldn't come watch.”“It's fine, mom. You should come for the next game. I'd be pleased to have you there.”Her left hand wove around my shoulder as she helped me inside.“I want to hear everything, Sammy, everything. Including Adrian. He helped you when you were hurt, did

Samantha's POV. If there was one thing I could wish for at that moment. It was to go back in time and not listen to Adrian about dressing as a girl.I also want the earth to split open and swallow me.There was no escape for me.Jim had his hand pointing at me.“Aha, I knew it. I knew she was a girl.”‘Please, God, do something. Help me get out of this.’ I prayed in my heartMy lips remained sealed. I was too scared to say anything.One word out of my mouth and they might just confirm that I have been lying.Jenny stepped forward and poked me in the shoulder.“Can't you talk, or are you suddenly dumb?”I backed a little as my feet shuffled backwards.Her hands came out again for another poke. Adrian seized it mid-air.“What do you think you are doing? This isn't Donovan.”We all had our jaws dropped, but I quickly closed mine.What was he trying to do? They caught us already. It will only be a matter of minutes before it hits the news.And I would be totally toast.Whatever Adrian w

Samantha's POVMy phone kept buzzing non-stop as I entered Adrian's car.I had no choice but to put it on do not disturb.The night turned out to be very wonderful, more than I could have ever imagined, and it was all thanks to Adrian.“Is everything okay?” He asked as he settled on the driver's seat.“Yeah.”I tugged at the seat belt, but it wouldn't pull.Another tug and it just remained stuck.It kept making sounds but refused to move.“Hey, hey, relax. Let me.”I let go of the seat belt, and Adrian moved over to help meMy breath was held as he came closer and took the seatbelt in one pull.“There, you are suddenly nervous.”“It's nothing," I lied.“Donovan, I know you more than you think. What's on your mind?”He has truly got to know me so well.I let out a pant.“It's my dad. He's back home.”“Okay, is that a problem? Aren't you allowed to go out?” My eyes went down to the gown I was wearing to show why.“Once he sees me in a dress, there will be never-ending questions.”“Hmmm
