Chapter 3
"Who's that?" I asked surprised.
"Bas told me to give you those," An unfamiliar feminine voice spoke.
I just met Bas. But his voice is recognizable and I was sure that wasn't him. His voice doesn't even sound familiar.
"What's your name?" The question popped out instead of thank you.
I opened the tampons, pulled out my panties, And started inserting them inside me.
"You are welcomed," the girl replied sarcastically.
"That wasn't my question" I hissed irritably.
I'm trying to be a bitch and bitches don't say thank you.
"Don't be rude to me, I was just helping Bas. I didn't know Miss Racie was a rude bitch" She said sarcastically.
I stopped what I was doing immediately when I heard racie.
I was mad at her for the tone she used on me but did she just give me a nickname??...
I arranged my gown and came out of the toilet, Walked to the mirror opposite the girl to put on some makeup.
" That's still not the answer to my question though and who the fuck is Racie?… That name isn't sexy. Who gave you the right to give nicknames?" I asked applying eyeliner.
I was determined to be rude to her too.
"Give me some credit. You are rude as hell and I love it." She said that biting her bottom lips, which made me chuckle.
"Well, I'm Anelle," she said stretching her hand for a handshake
"Gracie" I replied, shaking her hands a little bit shocked at how things ended up being friendly.
Anelle was blond just like me, she has blue eyes which made her face more cute.
"Is Bas your man and..?"
"Hell no sweetie" She didn't let me finish before replying to my question, she swung around to look at me directly.
She stared at me in exasperation.
"You know I'm gay right?" She asked.
"Nope, I don't" I replied turning to face the mirror.
"Why did u help him get my stuff," I asked confused.
"Come on, Bas has been my friend since 6th grade, he wanted to help you and couldn't do it without me," She said.
"Well, why will Bas want to help me? I was rude to him" I asked Anelle
"How do you expect me to know, Bas doesn't take things personally," she said and I spun back to the mirror and began to adjust my dress properly.
"I don't know how to go home today" I didn't know why I told her.
"I got it covered" Her reply gave me some kind of assurance.
" How??" I asked
I was done with my makeup already, And I stood there waiting for Anelle to finish admiring herself in the mirror.
"Well, Bas would have taken us home but he has some family stuff to do. Zach was the only person I knew that I could ask" she said.
I wondered who was Zach and why he going to help me get home.
But I'm not a curious person. And I guess she might not tell me. So I shoved the questions off. At least I have a ride home.
"I can see different questions are written all over your face darling, are you going to ask them or not?" She asked, looking away from the mirror and staring at me.
My stare was intense.
"Nope," I replied, giving her a sarcastic look.
"I don't care if you are going to ask, I'll still tell you, that's if you are interested," Anelle said.
I still did not reply to her, But deep down, I wanted answers to my questions.
" I don't have that time". I picked up my purse from the dressing table and was about to go when he called me back
"Heyyy…Racie, you aren't going with blood stains on your dress, Are you? She asked.
Did she just call me racie again???. That's not the problem though but am not letting it slide
" First of all, do not call me racie again". I said with an intimidating look.
"Calm down girl, I'll try not to," she said with her hands raised above her head Like she was surrendering.
"Is it that bad?" I was a little shy asking Anelle this question, Even though she is a girl, I just like my privacy.
I knew she noticed the embarrassment on my face but tried not to show it.
"Yep," she replied to me.
"What am I going to do?" I asked confused
" She finally asked, " But I got you, girl. Her reply was reassuring.
"Soo"? I asked
" Let me try and be brief with my explanation." She replied and I nodded my head in agreement and laughed hard.
I didn't laugh because of what she said though, I laughed at the faded tote they brought out to search for something.
I could never carry anything faded even if it was the only way to make heaven.
How is she carrying that bag in college?
She brought out a hoodie from her bag which was looking manly, I had suspected that it was not hers.
"Bas said you were staring at the guy at the back, And then you ran off dropping your purse, He saw some stains on your gown faintly and suspected it was blood stains, He called me and said he doesn't know where u went to, I told him u would be in the toilet if it was blood stains, He bought the tampons and begged me to give you," she said
Why didn't they come early if they were going to help? They allowed me to wait for so long and allowed me to watch my rival smooch, uhh my phone fell into the black water too.
"I was doing some stuff that's why I didn't come early okay?" She answered my question without being asked. She is observant.
"The guy you were staring at, you have a crush on him, right? Anelle asked, smirking at the mirror in front of us.
"Uhhhhh?" I said and we started walking slowly toward the main toilet door.
I didn't know the right words to use.
"Zach is the guy taking us home today" Anelle blurted out.
"Whattttt " I screamed at her in shock.
"Yeah, I'm sorry I did something a little bit crazy," she said smiling and I wondered what was funny.
"Spill it out" I ordered with a strict look.
" Okay, When Bas told Me he wouldn't be able to take me home, I went to Zach. Zach is my high schoolmate. I told him that the girl he just saw is my friend and she was on her period, she was stained and needed a hoodie to cover up and also a ride home, He agreed. He's such a gentleman" she said and stopped almost at the door and tied the hoodie around my waist in a way it would cover my stains.
I was shocked.
"Anelle, how would you do a thing like that? I asked.
"Do what?" She replied to me with a question. incredibly annoyed
Yeah, she's right though, what she did wasn't bad but I wasn't in the right mind to talk with Mr. Charming so I was just putting unreasonable anger on her.
Anelle was unconcerned about my outburst.
" He's by the door waiting for us" she blurted out, reaching for the door mob.
"He's were, u have no right to…." My complaint was interrupted when Anelle opened the door.
Anelle forcefully dragged me outside the toilet.
"Hey" the Dami God spoke
Hey dear esteemed readers, Well I'll love to continue from what I was saying the other day, Well always told my roommate to tell her brother about me and she told me she always tell him about me. She gave me silly lies of how he loved me and that made me love him harder. My really wanted to see him but she said he was very busy, and I knew he was because he just opened his I-phone shop. So I removed the idea of seeing him. On a fateful day, as I was going through my roommate phone, I saw a video of him kissing a girl, I shockingly asked my room mate who she was and she told me it was his girlfriend 😭😭😭 That she has being lying to me. I'll tell you all about the reasons she lied, Do stay tune.
Chapter 4 "Hey," The Demigod spoke. "Hey Zach, This is the silly girl that was staring at you" Anelle introduced me and she started laughing. Why Would she introduce me in such a way? I prayed for the ground to swallow. "Hey I'm Zach Lane, " He said with a smile and stretched his hands for a handshake. His smile was cute, making me want to see his set of teeth. He had slight dimples, which were almost invisible. The height I was dying to see earlier was standing in front of me. I could bet he was 6ft tall. "Gracie Hart," I said while stretching my hand for the handshake. I could feel his slender finger as we shook hands. "Well, We think we should get going," Anelle said, separating our hands. Anelle gave me a filthy look. I wasn't flirting with him and I wished I could tell her there. "Yeah sure' Where are you headed?" Zach asked Anelle and me as we walked toward his car. I walked behind them so I could hardly hear their conversation. I walked be
Chapter 5 What the fuck is Gem's picture doing in his care. He even had to hide it. That was very suspicious. When I saw him coming, I hid the picture where it was kept and tried to keep a straight face. "Hey," I said immediately after he entered the car. He arched his eyebrow giving me a confused look. "Is there a problem?" He asked I suck at pretending but I had to give it my best shot. "Yeah sure" I replied He wore his seatbelt before giving me the phone. I opened the phone. It was an iPhone, I kept the phone in my purse, as Zach started driving. "So where are we going?" I asked because I didn't want the ride to be silent. "Let me take you to Lane's food and snacks. He said with a smile on his face. His dimples showed faintly. "Wait, don't tell me that's your parent's restaurant?" I said with a grin "Well, It is " he laughed after saying this "You are taking me there because you aren't going to pay for the food," I said and we both started laughing.
Chapter 6 It's read I'm watching you, Gracie. Who the fuck is this? I didn't care though. I opened the door and my mum looked at me shocked, It looked like she had been peeping at me through the window. "Hey, Mum," I said. "Hey baby, got a new catch right?" She asked, smirking at me. "Mum, Have u been watching me?" I asked with a smile. "No baby, I noticed you came late and your new catch might have been the reason for your lateness," she said scratching the corner of her hair. I knew she was lying without asking questions. She's a bad liar and she cannot pretend just like me. "Hmmm" I sighed and folded my hand "Okay you got me, I was peeping," she said and I just gave her a plain stare. " You can't blame me, I was curious," she explained further while sitting on a sofa. When she sat on the sofa, she used her hand to give me sign language that meant I should sit beside her. My mum and I learned sign language together when I was younger. "Mum, I'm stick
Chapter 7 "Mummmm" I yelled amused. She ran towards the sitting room and I ran after her. It didn't take long for me to catch her. When I caught her, We jumped on the sofa panting heavily. "Mum, give me back my phone," I said, struggling to take my phone from her. "Are you going to tell me all about it or are you going to keep smiling to yourself?" She asked when she had climbed the sofa. She raised my phone very high So I could not reach it even after climbing the sofa. My mum is taller than me, I'm sure my father would be a short man. " I'm going to tell you, I promise," I said after trying to get my phone to no avail. She looked at me for a few seconds before handing the phone to me. She was trying to see if my promise was sincere. "I'm not telling you" I screamed and ran to my room. She did not run after me. She knew I was surely going to tell her, If I didn't tell her today I will tell her tomorrow. Besides, it was already late and I needed r
Chapter 8 Gracie's pov. I sluggishly picked up the phone, to read the text and the text was from Zach. I was feeling sleepy but I had to check it. I'll pick you up by 9:00 Am if you can wait. I covered my mouth so I won't scream out of excitement. I didn't reply to his message though. My phone was beside me when I slept off. ZACH'S POV I hope I didn't make the wrong decision of taking her to school tomorrow. That was the thought running through my head. I don't want to lead her on but she seemed desperate. The only wish I had was to see Gem once again. We met on my previous vacation and she was having a family problem which she didn't tell me about. I had my issues too that I didn't tell her. We had been so close then before she left. She didn't tell me where she lived, she only gave me her number before leaving. I missed the times we spent and I just want to see her again. No strings attached though, We h
Chapter 9 ZACH'S POV "Where's Zach?" a familiar male voice spoke. I didn't bother putting on clothes. I simply tied a towel around my waist and started walking toward the living room. When I got there, I saw my dad tightly gripping my mother's hand next to the living room door, and she was wriggling in pain, trying to get his hand off her. He was whispering words in her ear that I couldn't hear, but I knew they were unpleasant. Tears welled up in my mum's eyes. I immediately became furious and ran to punch my dad in the nose. When he saw me running towards him, he immediately let go of my mum and positioned himself to avoid my punch, but it was too late. I punched him right in the nose, and he rested his back against the wall, nursing his broken nose and looking at me in shock and anger. He tried his best not to fight back. My dad had been a loving husband until I turned 10. He started bringing women into the house, and I guess that more tha
Chapter 10 I screamed. "Hey, Racie!" I heard my name from the back of the car before I could process what had just happened. The voice sounded very familiar, so I turned back to see who it was. "Shit," I swore under my breath. It was Anelle, and the person I thought was Zach was actually Bas. "What are you guys doing here, and how do you know where I live?" I asked with authority in my voice. "Calm down, girl. Zach said he wasn't going to pick you up anymore, and I offered to help. It took me some time to convince Bas to help you," she said and rolled her eyes because of my ungratefulness. I didn't feel any remorse. The only thing coursing through my veins was anger. I wasn't angry with Bas or Anelle, and I knew I couldn't be angry with Zach. So I realized that I was just feeling upset for no good reason. This morning, I woke up at 4:00 am to wish Zach a good morning and to prepare for school, or rather to see him. I chose a light blue body-hugging dress that accen
Chapter 11 "Gem??" I exclaimed in surprise. ZACH'S POV After dressing, I left the house without telling my mum goodbye. I got to my car and got in. After sitting in the driver's seat, I took out my phone from the back pocket of my black pants so I could call Gem and let her know I was already on my way. "Shit," I swore out loud. I had missed Gracie's calls, and I was sure she would be waiting for me. "I'm just a jerk," I said to myself, hitting my forehead with my palm. I quickly texted Anelle. Hey, I won't be able to pick up Gracie. Please let her know thank you. I didn't text Gracie because I knew she would be very disappointed. I'm sure she had been waiting for a long time because her first call was around 7:30 AM, and it was already 9:30 AM. When I was about to call Gem, Anelle's text popped up at the top screen of my phone, and it read: "Sure, Bas and I will pick her up since you have chosen to be a disappointment" I smiled unconsciously after readin
