‎‎THEO ‎"What was all that about? Was he watching me or something?" I wondered as I walked back toward my desk, still thinking about the strange way my boss had been acting...just because I talked to a girl ‎I dropped into my chair and glanced at the design brief sitting beside my laptop... ‎"And these designs have to be ready by tomorrow?" I muttered. "What exactly am I supposed to come up with by tomorrow?" I murmured to myself as I stared at the blank screen for several seconds before sighing. ‎There was no point complaining about it. If I wanted to prove that I deserved the job, I had to get the work done.... ‎I opened the files I'd been given and started working through the design piece by piece. At first, everything looked impossible... Every idea I came up with seemed either too simple or completely different from what had been requested. ‎"Come on, Theo," I whispered. "Think." ‎I sketched a few rough concepts, deleted them, then started again. ‎"This one is terr

‎THEO‎“What are they going to do to me?”‎The question kept running through my mind as the man tightened his grip on my shoulder, forcing me to remain still as they carried me in the dark alley...I could hear their voices above me, but I kept my eyes shut and pretended to be unconscious, terrified that they would realize I was awake.‎“Is he still out?”‎“Yeah. Just carry him.” My heart was pounding so hard that I was convinced they could hear it...‎A moment later, they dropped me off at the gate that covered the alley outside...I remained completely still until their footsteps faded into the distance, and only then did I slowly open my eyes.‎“They're gone…” I murmured as I pushed myself up and immediately ran...‎I didn't care how exhausted I was or how much my legs hurt. I only wanted to get home, because as strange as it sounded, my home felt safer than being anywhere near those men.‎When I finally reached the house, I opened the door as quietly as possible and tiptoed toward m

‎THEO‎“What did he mean by someone’s watching me?” I murmured to myself as I opened my locker and stared at everything inside, even though I already knew there was nothing unusual there. I closed it again, then opened it once more just to confirm I wasn't imagining things before finally letting out a frustrated sigh. Why was everyone suddenly acting so weird around me? First Stephen, and now Adrian. What exactly did they both want from me?‎I shook my head and decided to stop thinking about it for the moment. Whatever was going on, I clearly wasn't going to figure it out by standing in front of my locker, so I adjusted my bag and walked toward class, hoping the rest of the day would be normal enough for me to forget about everything that had been bothering me.‎Once I got to class, I took my seat and tried to concentrate on the lesson, but somehow the period went by faster than I expected. Before I knew it, the bell rang, and everyone began gathering their things before heading to th

‎THEO‎“Why the fuck did you do that?” I screamed shoving him with both hands, anger surging through me as I stared at him. I was still trying to understand what had just happened in that office, and the more I thought about it, the more furious I became but he didn't answer.‎Instead, he frowned and looked away, as though refusing to meet my eyes would somehow make the situation disappear.‎“I'm talking to you,” I snapped. “Why did you do that?”‎“Please,” he finally muttered.‎I stared at him in disbelief...‎“Please what?”‎“Don't tell anyone.”‎I scoffed...“So that's what you're worried about?”‎He looked at me again, but I didn't see any ounce of apology in his face...‎“I'm serious, Theo. Don't tell anyone about what happened in the office.”‎I folded my arms...“And why should I keep quiet?”‎“Because if you do, I'll be forced to look at your grades again.”‎“what do you mean by that?” I asked in confusion ‎"It means, if you spill this to anyone you'll get expelled, I'd make su

THEO“Malachi’s birthday?” I asked Professor Adrian again, staring at him as though I wasn't sure I had heard him correctly.He simply nodded. “Yes. Malachi’s birthday is tomorrow.”“Oh.” I nodded slowly, then glanced toward the door. “Okay.”I was already turning around to leave when his voice stopped me...“Everyone is invited.”I paused and looked back at him...“Everyone?”“Yes.”I waited for him to say something else, but he only stared at me then I nodded slightly. “Okay.”“Aren’t you going to ask for the venue and time?” he asked again as I stopped once more.I turned my head toward him and he was staring at me with an amused expression.“I thought you said everyone was invited,” I replied.“I did.”“So I assumed someone would tell everyone where the party is.”He shook his head slightly..“When I said all workers are invited, I meant including you, Theo.”I stared at him for a second...“Me?”“Yes, you.”There was a small smile on his face as he closed his laptop.“I don't understan
