The fake smile that has been on my face vanished. Nothing could replace it not even my signature smirk as all I want is not to cry. I don't need to ask her if she meant it again. "Great". I picked up my blood-stained shirt as I walked out of the toilet. Good thing the school seems dey as no one heard or saw me walking out. Looking at the stained shirt, I shrieked inwardly, reminding myself not to wear this shirt again even if I love it so much. Thinking about it alone made me chuckle as I walked to the detention calls back. Opening the door with my head down as if it could no longer stand, I walked in bare. I ignored Devin's stern look, ignored Eva and Nili's disgusting gaze in my nipples, and walked to my previous seat. 'I want nothing more at the point but to delete you in my fucking life!!!'. Emily's words came, pierce into my heart like a dagger. I fought the urge not to cry as I grab my pen and before I knew it, the next thing I am staring at is my
EMILIA'S POV This is what I need now, mom's hug. I just buried my face in her shoulders and cried. At this point, I can't tell what I am crying for. Is it my real dad showing up when I least expected him, or the fact that I am having something to do with Xavier and feel guilty? What about having to deal with detention when I am not supposed to. Okay, let's cry over the visible one. I can't just go crying because I hate my birth father. "They have my face on camera" I sniffed as she pats my back "They have it on camera". Mom sighed, she kisses my neck and shush me. "It's okay, you are just a woman and people do make mistakes even though I did the same". I froze. Yeah, I get my mum has always been Mrs perfect. She never gets to do any mistakes and I wonder if she is even human at times. When cleaning, she would come to spot dirt in the sparkling sink you just cleaned. Do you want to talk about how she brings out cobwebs from my wardrobe when I obvio
Good thing no one came to bother me. From the bed I lay, I could clearly hear what they were all saying. Dave's voice seems to be the worst, extremely loud. Mum never talk about him and when I asked, she simply said it was an agreement and she had to talk to me. Ok, let me get this straight. My birth father agreed to let me go and here he is? What the hell is he doing here. Straining my ears, I realized I could only hear three voices. Mum's voice was the one with authority, Dave's loud voice, and my step Dad always trying to be the cool dad. My stomach doesn't hurt that bad. I can still feel it whine like my internal organs are getting tied together but I am used to it. I just have to have it at the very front of my mind that I will ha e to get this every month for four days until I am 40. "Gosh this is so humiliating" I rubbed my face as I tossed in bed. Everything is just so humiliating and as for Eva and Nili, I swear I will break them. I w
This can't be happening, not when the two people I will prefer to kill over a million times are seated in the same car with me. Worst still, Xavier was seating right beside me, our bodies can literally touch and no matter how I try to move away, I feel he does come close to me on purpose. My head was still against the chair I was seating on but was turning on the inside together with my mind. Inside the car was really annoyingly loud; listening to the music James had on the car's radio, Xavier's loud headset, and his android sending and receiving messages. It was 7:17 and I wasn't feeling too relaxed in the car even though I was calm. Looking at my phone for a time now and then made me think we were going backward in time. Still in all that shit, to me, the vehicle was as silent as ever until James made a remark that got my attention. I first pretend not to hear him or notice him even saying anything at all but when I looked up, I found him staring at me through the fr
I couldn't just help myself but almost explode in anger, suffocating in my own sweat. Heated from rage and disgust I clenched my fist and screamed inwardly. "Like seriously?", I said out of deep frustration, referring to no one in particular. Well, who would I be talking to? Xavier only looked at me from the car's inner mirror of the car with an emotionless glare. His face went back to his phone and for a moment I can't help but think he is probably watching naked girl twerk. Looking at my father who has a big grin on his face as he stared at Devin through the front mirror. His eyes moved to me for a few seconds and I can bet I saw him smirk. "Oh son, you were really wonderful" he started "like .. I am saying you were super strong handling those kids last I saw you", James said in a praise Worthy manner to Devin who replied with silence. What the heck are they trying to do? Make me piss? Perfect! "I would like to alight now pls!", I said interrupting th
The rest of the school period went well, just that I was thinking about why I wanted to let Devin see me and hug Nigel. Fine, I won't lie about the little feelings I am just having towards him as well as the hate but I things it's normal. I can remember vividly two years ago, Mum told me about infatuation. From my point of view, I am just seeing nothing but a sixteen years old girl falling for what she is not sure of. And about Xavier, I can't tell, I just don't want to talk about that...that...damn! I think I am in love with my stepbrother! Walking down to detention, I fan my face with my left palm as I blinked rapidly. I can't let those tears drop, never! "Why does it hurt so much?" I sniffed. Not even that he had ever told me that he loved me, nor have I told him that I love him, I still don't get why I am feeling this hurt. I know he is trying to makeup but it can't work, not when all he wants is to just have my face against the wall and bang the shi
DEVIN'S POV If you ask I still have no answer. I turned back to see Emily rush past me holding her pen, funny but strange. What the hell would she be doing with her pen out or is she trying to...no way. My brows lifted as I stared at the object on her table and if I am not mistaken, the small thing in the pink wrap is a tampon. As long as I am concerned, I know girls are always insecure when they come to this time of the month and nothing would make them leave their material put unless they want to change it. 'Oh fuck!' I clenched my fist 'She missed it'. My gaze moved to Xavier who kept staring at the door where she had gone. Really, I don't understand why I feel Xavier has something forbidden doing with Emily. If not, I can't explain how obsessed he has been or toooo caring. The Xavier I know would not do anything like that, not when he has no respect for girls. My gaze went to Ms. Vanessa who raised her brows at me. I see she noticed what I noticed bu
Did she just apologize? I can't tell how happy I am. Standing by the door, I waited patiently like a groom waiting for his bride. The annoying girls were nowhere to be found and I feel so grateful that they had eventually decided to get a life. Seconds later, I hear the door unbolt before the squeaky sounds of an opening door. The sound of water gushing followed and I won't lie, it took like forever for me to hear her footsteps. This is extremely strange because I can't tell why I just suddenly care. Why I just want to see that she is okay and should give a smile on her face instead of a red nose and a bit...what's that on her neck. Fuck it looks like a love mark. Better not be that Xavier had hot kissed her or something. That's yucky! Walking toward me, her gaze was fixed on mine. Our eyes locked for a while and as she was walking straight, all I thought was that she would come to give me a hug, kiss me, and tell me how great I am. "Emily I...". I felt
