Gwyneth's POV
"What is your plan?" Zaina asked while I am busy fixing the laces of my shoes, she's doing the same thing as me.
We are here in the locker room with the rest of our classmates to change into our PE uniform, so it's not surprising that every corner of this room was corrupted by an ear piercing noise made by them.
"Can you tie my hair?" I pleaded Zaina as I stood up and went straight to the full-length mirror like usual locker room would have.
"Obviously they like you and you don't have to ask them that. It's pretty obvious you know, except for Denver who almost bragged earlier that he was flirting with you. How whipped he can get lmao." I saw her reflection from the mirror. "What can you say? " she then asks as she trod her way towards me.
"I honestly don't know what to say." I simply said.
What should I say? They're not even my type and I was about to decline Denver's feelings towards me, I am just waiting for a perfect timing.
"Who will you choose among them? I mean, Denver likes you, and Kalex is undoubtedly whip as hell. You can't have them both because you only have one heart. You can't compress those idiots in and expect them to be fine. You had to choose who tickles your heart's best." She said in an unusual tone and it doesn't suit her, swear. She was born with a megaphone mouth and I can effin' say that the word 'serious' and Zaina is not a good fit at all.
"Correction, Kalex isn't whipped especially not of me. He's just a complete douchebag who's too greedy to share what he had." I corrected her with an eye roll.
I have known Kalex since I was in eighth grade. He’s a jerk and a mutt at the same time. What's his is his. Rip it off him and he'll be your unwanted rival.
"You mean, he owns you?" she asked.
"Something like that."
In my current situation, he owns me because he already paid for my service. All I had to do is to do my share as his contract girlfriend and just go with the flow until the very end of our agreement.
"But still, I really have this feeling that he likes you. He acted strange earlier upon hearing Denver's confession. It's like he wanted to rip someone's guts" Zaina still insists on what she perceive is right.
"Just shut up, okay? Besides, if he really does like me, it's no use cause I can't reciprocate what he felt towards me. I already had someone I wanted to be with the rest of my life, so if I were him, he better kill his feelings." I just said for her to stop.
How many times do I have to tell that Kalex doesn't really like me and never will? Tch.
"Gosh! Don't tell me you're still into your childhood crush." I saw how her eyes went wide as saucers. She abruptly grab both of my shoulders and forced me to face her. "Can't you just move on already? I mean, how sure are you that he's gonna come back? Stop rooting for him and find a man!"
"You're loud as a nagger." I complained, removing her hands from my shoulders then turned my back on her and walked out of the locker room.
I didn't bother to wait for her so I went straight to the gym where we would play volleyball. Our PE instructor notified us that he might come late, so we should warm up first and practice every skills needed to play volleyball. We should make use of our idle time for the mean time .
"GWYNETHHHH!"
I turned to the person who shouted my name and as soon as I whipped around, the ball hit my forehead without knowing where it came from.
"BOOOOOO!" the students taunt out loud when I fell with a loud thud on the court, caressing my sore forehead with the back of my hand.
I feel like my brain was shaken with the impact of my fall and of the ball.
"Oops, didn't see you there. I'm sorry." I heard a voice approaching near me. I haven't even look up yet, but I already know that pretentious voice.
"Are you okay?" Zaina suddenly came and helped me to to stand up on my feet.
I slowly stood up and glared at the bitchy Allaine, the one who hit me with a ball. "I'm good." I assured Zaina but I still did not take my eyes off Allaine.
"You!" Zaina shouted angrily and pointed her index finger towards the bitch in front of us."You're overdoing it." She was about to attack Allaine but I immediately stopped her.
"Zaina, stop it!"
Even though my head is a bit sore and started throbbing, I still stopped my friend from retaliating because I don't wanna make things worse.
"Now what? Do you really think I would be scared with your pointless comeback? Oh c'mon, you can do better than that." Allaine jeered which heightened Zaina's vexation, trying hard to be free from my grip.
She looks up at me with those pleading eyes of rage, I sofly shook my head. I'm begging for her not to feed the troll. She's not worth it.Tsk
"Next time, be observant of what's happening around you. Who knows? Maybe next time, something vicious might hit you aside from ball. Be careful sweetie." Allaine leered before turning her back on us.
I stared at her retreating figure, thinking about what she said last night. When she told me that she wouldn't cease on bothering me until I avoided Kalex. She's really serious about it huh. I can't help but sigh, she's a pain in the ass. I feel sorry for her, she's utterly infatuated with the jerk. Gosh!
"What's the matter? Why did you stop me from punching that bitch? Her blood could have been pooling right now if you hadn't just restrain me. Tsk!"
I jolt back to my consciousness when I saw the raging Zaina. She's mad as hell and in her state, I can say that she's not in full control of herself.
"Calm down, remember we're still under the school's premises. You don't want to be kicked out right? So, please hold your horses until we get outta here." I said to soothe her anger.
I'm still a tad bit anxious and I don't know the reason why my chest just beats so fast like a racing horse.
"The hell I care Gwyn. Right now, I just wanna make her pay for crossing the fucking line."
"If you badly want to tweak her neck, then fine whatever floats your boat. Just not here with myriads of eyes witnessing the entire scene." I shouted and then turned my back on her.
I was walking towards the bleachers when a shout put me to an abrupt stop. "Gwyneth!"
I saw one of my classmates running towards me. "What is it?" I immediately asked her.
"Your locker!" She sighed in response.
I didn't ask her further, instead I quickly ran to the locker room. I was once again enveloped in an agitation and it went twofold as I got nearer to my locker. It's as if I'm going to faint any minute now and this is a first.
"W-What is happening in here?" I asked anxiously as students pave the way for me to pass.
I disrupted the conversation of the group of students who were making a fuss just to find out what had happened to my locker. "Excuse me," I said politely to every student I passed. "Can you let me pas—Denver?" I'm utterly schocked when I saw him comfortably sitted on a stool near my locker, holding a guitar.
"There she is… my lovely lady." He said with a delightful countenance making his deep-set grayish blue eyes shone. The next thing I heard is the stramming of a guitar.
What is this for? Can somebody illumine me?
Gwyneth's POV"We need to talk." I stated firmly to Denver, then grab him by the arm and dragged him out of the locker room.I still manage to get out even though it's a bit crowded inside because of the scene he created in there."Hey slow down! Are you planning to trip me over?" I heard him whining but I simply ignored it and just continue to drag him with me until we finally got out of the gym.Myriads of eyes were on us as we pass by and believe me dude, some are almost popping out of it's eye sockets. Goodness gracious they're bunch of prying creatures! Can't they just mind their goddamn business? Anyways, who would not dare to look at their oozing hot Denver, especially when a woman is holding his arm?"Explain." I commanded, looking at him seriously after I let go of his arm.I brought him here in the back of the gymnasium building. I have no choice, do I? What he did earlier will probably be the talk of the town for
Gwyneth's POVMy chest is still hammering as if I ran a mile. I'm getting myself ready for my last breath as the door agonizingly open. I closed my eyes and braced my head for whatsoever that's going to come. I bite the inside of my cheeks, silently cursing for getting myself in this cubicle. Jinx is really after me today. Of all other cubicle's I could enter, why did I get myself in this one?"I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to eavesdropped on your convo with someone. I-It's just so happened that I am currently changing my clothes, so I didn't get out right away when you entered. I-I promise not to tell anyone about what I've heard. I'll also do whatever you asked me to do without anything in return. Just don't hurt me please." I entreated, stumbling over my words after she successfully got the door open.I couldn't face her. I'm afraid that she'll snap my neck the moment I laid my eyes on her. I can't die yet, not now. I still have plans for eterni
Gwyneth’s POV"Did you even have a good sleep last night?" Zaina asked me as we made our way to our first subject this morning. "You look horrible! Like, look at those shocking eyebags. Girl, you look like a dehydrated larva." She pointed out as if her eyebags are not as dreadful as mine. TchThe letter I've read keeps coming back into my mind. It made me feel uneasy everytime I think about it. I can barely close my eyes for goddamn sake! No one knows what happened back in the locker room yet, neither Zaina nor my auntie. I don't want to rush things out cause in the first place, I don't even know who that woman is. I'm dying to ask Kalex if he saw a woman before he barged into the cubicle yesterday, but I am afraid he'll ignore me after yesterday's incident.“Our first period will be held in the lecture hall today. Same goes with Kalex's section. ”It made me come to a halt when Zaina mentioned Kalex's name. "Really?" I surprisingl
Gwyneth's POVI paid the lunch I get for myself and trod my way to our usual table, not taking my eyes off the man in front of the counter. I slowly place a tray of food on the table, still looking oddly at the man in line.“Girl, are you effin' serious? Oh my my my, he's a hunk!”I immediately covered Zaina's blabbering mouth with my delicate hand. He might hear us talking about him for goddamn sake!"Just this once, keep your voice down please." I desperately pleaded her in a hush, getting my hands off her mouth. "He might hear you." I added indignantly.She just shrugged her shoulder, acting like she doesn't give a fuck.“That Quir guy is helluva ravishing. I mean, look at those oozing muscles. Girl, he's fucking hot! I can't find it in me to believe that he was your childhood friend. Are you bluffing, huh? ” she whispered with thrill in her voice.I am not in a mood for a storytelling.Why woul
Gwyneth's POV“Raise your standard. You two are not a good fit."I saw how Zaina choke on what she was eating which Denver acted upon and immediately offered his water to my friend. Kalex on the other hand was utterly pissed off, this made him stop from eating and glared daggers at the smirking Quir."What the hell is your problem?" Kalex aggressively ran his hands through his hair while looking seriously at Quir. Judging by his stance and the tone of his voice, he's already exasperated.I suddenly felt anxious, not knowing what do to. I bit the inside of my cheeks, spook of what could happen next. I mean, they're furious as hell, that they could turn this cafeteria into ashes with the intensity of their stares."Hey, buddies! What's for lunch?" Suddenly someone appeared behind us causing me to whip my head back. I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that it's just Yuki, the one whom Zaina met earlier this day. "I went with Allaine for
Kalex's POVI passed the ball to Denver then made my way towards the closest bleacher. I grabbed my towel and started wiping the sweat off my body."Any plans for tonight?" Denver inquired, dribbling the ball as he got closer to where I am."Nothing except being stuck in my condo since mom hasn't unfreeze my cards yet." I answered, still wiping the sweat off me.Denver shot the ball in the three-points lane, and I laugh my ass off when he wasn't able to make a good shot."Here's your energy drink, masters." Yuki throw a bottle of energy drink to each one of us. I effortlessly caught it in just a hand same goes with Denver. "By the way, I come face to face with Gwyn earlier. I was about to talk to her, but it seems like she wanted to be alone. She acted strange and it seems like her mind is on another dimension. Is she doing okay?" He asks turning his gaze on me but soon diverted
Kalex’s POVI slowly opened my eyes and I was welcomed with an unfamiliar white tiled ceiling, flashing above me.Where the hell am I? What just happened?“Kalex? Thank goodness, you’re awake.” How can I not recognize that voice, it’s mom. “Call up the doctor, tell him my son is already conscious." My mom immediately ordered the men in a black suit, who quickly left the room.So I’m in an hospital? No wonder why I had this weird feeling in my stomach. While I was trying to lean my head back on the headboard, I felt something sharp poking on my veins. When I check what it is, it was some kind of needle, I perceived an IV drip needle. Oh c'mon! “Why did you passed out in front of your school gate? I was so— ”"How many times do I have to remind you how I loathe needles?" I cutted her off, removing the effin' IV attached to m
Gwyneth’s POVThe morning session of our class just ended. I packed my stuffs as soon as our professor dismissed us. Most of my classmates got exhilarated because guess what? We will be unoccupied for the next two hours. Yeah! We have two hours for our vacant time and I think it's a good thing."Double time, Zaina!" I shouted at my friend and left the room first.I planned to meet with one of my clients since Kalex was not around. He needs to take some rest because he just got out from the hospital yesterday. Besides, he told me last time that he would only call out to me when he needs my acting skills. And, as upsetting as it is, he didn't call me even once. So, I wanna make use of my idle time earning sparking pennies.“Hey? Do you have any stomping ground in mind that we could stay in for the next two hours?” Maureen is approaching me who just came out of our room."Are yo
