All Chapters of The Innocence Is Gone : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

April's POV "I do not have time for this April. Didn't you hear me? I have a party I need to organize. We cannot do this project without you because we have no idea what it is talking about." I almost laughed when Marcus said he and the rest of the group members had no idea what the project was about. Those were the consequences of missing classes. "I cannot sit here and wait for you to search for a roommate which is probably going to be a dead end by the way. The freshmen are in their process of reporting in, how do you expect to find a room? Anyone who needs a roommate is likely to have a roommate now." Marcus said. I dropped my phone on the table when what he said made me recall the freshmen. No wonder I could not get a roommate after asking at least twenty people. What was I supposed to do now? I could not accept his idea about asking Alex Gray to share his apartment with me. He would not even agree to it anyway. Alex was the definition of cool. He could never have a roommate li

April's POV Alex and I shared eye contact after my question. I was a little nervous about what he was going to say. I looked away first. "I enjoy my peace January. So I cannot share my apartment with you."Alex told me and of course he got my name wrong. He was obviously doing it intentionally."It is only for a night. I have nowhere else to go."I tried to convince him."How many times do you need to hear that it is not my problem. I don't even know you. Why would I let you near me?"Alex asked shoving his hands in his sweatpants pockets.I chuckled feeling like he was being ironic. "So you get to know every girl you have slept with around campus before you sleep with them?"I asked him."What?""I am just asking since you said you cannot let me near you because you don't know me." I told him. There was silence between us for a while as we just stared at each other. "You need to leave. "Alex broke the silence by asking me to leave. I could not let him slam the door on me again. I had

April's POV I reached my dorm safely, thank heavens, and I took all my belongings with me back to Alex's apartment. I struggled to find my way back to the apartment but I finally got there. I put my bags in the bedroom Alex had assigned me to sleep in. It was a nice room and I wondered why he did not want to accommodate me in the first place when he had a spare room. How selfish was he? I explained to him my problem and he still did not want to accommodate me. I sighed getting out of my clothes preparing to go freshen up. Today was one of the worst days of my life. I wrapped my towel on my body and got into the shower and a hot shower had never felt so good. Showers after a long day were the best. I used the shower gels and hair shampoo in the bathroom without thinking too much on my actions.After I was done, I got out but I almost screamed when I met cold angry eyes staring at me. I jumped a little scared and I tightly held onto my towel to prevent it from falling. I cleared my th

Alex's POV I stared at the new girl through the review mirror pissed off. She was the definition of annoying. Everything about her was so ridiculous and annoying and I could not believe she was spending a night in my place. I had never hosted anyone in my apartment and she was the first one. I hated sharing things but she come in and the first thing she did was use my shower gel. I restricted myself to kick her out right there and then. Her actions angered me so much and don't remind me of her mouth. She spoke the most absurd things like how I had shared the girls I had been with. What did she know about the girls I had been with?And what was wrong with her anyway? Why was she not all over me like the rest of the girls? I hated the attention I got from girls because it was very annoying but what was more annoying was this girl who had months of the year as her name, not sucking up to me. If anything, she was just as annoyed with me as I was with her."Dude, why are you staring at me

April's POV "I'm back."Marcus announced once we reached his apartment. Everyone turned their head excitedly to look at him until they spotted me next to him and their faces dropped and were suddenly filled with confusion. Everyone except Alex. He did not even look at Marcus when he told everyone he was back. His attention was deeply buried in his phone.Marcus noticed everyone's silence and smiled. He dropped the bags of snacks in his hands on the floor. Later, he grabbed the bag of snacks in my hand and dropped it to where he dropped the rest. Then he placed his hand on my shoulders and he pushed me forward gently. "Everyone, this is April. She's in my class."he told everyone who was just staring at me. I just smiled like a fool while they stared at me. I hated every single second they did. It was very embarrassing."So, April this is everyone." Marcus said then he pointed at a guy who was at the far end of the couch. He had a girl on his lap. The guy had a few strands of his hair d
