Several impressions were going through my mind. How did he get my contact? Why did he phone me? Does he wanna taunt me about my boobs again? Or is he ready to converse about the assignment? I still need to assemble myself, I thought"Ryan Miller" I called, struggling to conceal the awe."Just wanna call you," he said and disconnected the call without giving room for a retort. "just wanted to call me? oh, he wanted me to know that he has my contact, is that it?"Jeez! I growled before dropping my phone back on the table. Instead of proceeding with the work, Ryan's call had already slain the morale and I collapsed back on my bed, authorizing darkness to take over. "I hate you, Ryan" was the last thing that I murmured.★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★It's Monday already! A day before the submission. Some of my colleagues are done with their tasks, Laura included. I was still battling with the flowchart and fortunately, I was able to get it done during the weekend. I planned to stay back today at school
I was furious at what Ryan did but Mr. Aaron's presence shocked me more. I was still thinking about what to say when Ryan evacuated the laboratory, passing behind Mr. Aaron without giving any response.Such a rude personality, I grumbled to Mr. Aaron's hearing and he scoffed after hearing that. I picked up my backpack that was at the corner of the lab and vacated the place. This is no way to start over again since I won't be able to meet up. Thankfulness to the dickhead that ruined my work all because of his silly argument with that bitch.Fuck! I'm gonna lose the whole ten marks just like that? Despite loathing failure in my life? How would I get a scholarship to college if I couldn't pass just a small task? I'll make sure he regrets toying with me, he has to! I was determined. ***Submission day!***I woke up this morning with an unusual feeling. Today is the submission day and I've nothing to submit, what a shame! I woke up sluggishly to prepare for school. If I had another choice,
Ryan fell while I slumped on him. The noisy laboratory became mute all of sudden. Ryan and I were appalled to the bone, our eyes were gazing at each other and my lips were less than one inch from brushing his. I stood up hurriedly and picked up my phone which had fallen. "Shit! My screen has cracked! It's is gonna cost me more than a week's lunch savings" I said inwardly"Hey! Ain't you gonna help me out!" Came the voice of Ryan who was still on the floor.I kept checking the phone screen and didn't pay attention to him."Hey! I was talking to you!" He yelled"Why do I need to help you up? Am I the only one here?" I shouted back at him"Didn't I see others before calling you? Does that means I'm blind?" He asked"I didn't say so but if you thought so, then you are" I retorted nonchalantly"Hey! You fell on me! Isn't that enough reason to help me up?" He uttered"Can you get up by yourself? Is that a reason I must help you up" I muttered before shooting him a glare? I noticed he was st
The principal urged me to take him to the school infirmary. Why would he ask me to take him there, it wasn't as if his leg was paralyzed! How on earth would he indicate at me among all the students? "Sir, he can go by himself. It wasn't severe" I protested"You don't need to tell me that, young Lady. He may fall on the way and the injury would become worse" he respondedWhy would he ask me to follow him? He isn't a small boy for crying out loud! Or is it because I'm a lowlife? I thoughtDumbass! Can't you see that you were closer to him than others? It's normal for him to call your name. My mind talked"On our way sir," I said and supported Ryan with my hand, out of the lab.Ryan was mounting more pressure on his body, which made it tough for me to walk him out. I was annoyed but I tried to hide my resentment since the principal was still in view. Ryan seemed to be enjoying it and wouldn't cease sneering at my notification but he would pretend to be in pain anytime his eyes came in c
I don't understand what is wrong with all those prosperous kids. Couldn't he have had a horrible upbringing or absence of emotion? How on earth would he solicit another apology, a decent one like he said?"What?" I shoutedJessica was glancing helplessly. It was apparent that Ryan is competent in getting her but I don't think it has gotten to that degree."How do you want me to apologize?" Jessica inquired with a soft voice."Release an authorized statement to the school mail, declaring the reason you weren't met when I entered for treatment and how the idiot you called a nurse nearly killed me. If I'm okay with the apology, then I'll reply to you through the mail" he enunciated with I don't care expressions"Ryan!" I shouted his name surprisingly. I wasn't expecting him to request something like that. Isn't that a way of putting Jessica's position at risk? That's too much for goodness sake!"I wasn't talking to you, Kiara" he yelled back at me"Have you gone nuts? Why would you expec
It's another school day! The school's first test is coming soon. Students were spending their free periods in the library. Some were even waiting behind after school hours to read. Fortunately, the school management was considerate enough to add extra two hours to the library closing hours. I've heard Ryan be the most brilliant student in the school, followed by Laura."Hope you are preparing for the first test?" Laura asked as she sighted me pressing my phone in the class. Also, I fixed up my phone with a week's lunch money as presumed"I don't think there is much to prepare for," I said but was cut off by Laura"Hey! You need to equip hard! First tests are always hard in Crystal high! And I heard the school management doesn't take it easy with scholarship students if they score below average." She scolded"Babe, I'll study when the test is near" I protested"And trust me, I can't fail" I added"The test is starting on Wednesday for crying out loud! You have just today and tomorrow t
I started burning midnight candles after the challenge. It wasn't easy! The last time I read like this was during the scholarship Examination.It's the day of the exam. Some of the students had left for the cafeteria during lunch period while some had vacated the class to the library. Laura entered the class from where God knows and walked to my seat."What are you doing?" She asked"Taking a nap" I murmured, with my head placed on my locker."Hey! We have less than twenty-four hours to do the test. Don't forget that you are in trouble if you don't meet up!" She scolded"Babe, I didn't sleep well last night for this same test. I just wanna rest for a while. I'll stay behind to study after school hours" I uttered"Nope! I can't stand here, watching you getting yourself Into trouble! I've gotten some past questions about the test from the library. Let's go and treat them" she offered"Laura, ain't you worried about yourself?" I asked surprisingly because she has been trying to tell me s
It's Friday already! The Results will be out today. I couldn't sleep well last night thinking about what would occur today. I felt like staying behind and lied to my mom that I wasn't feeling too well but Ryan and his friend will see me as a loser. Would I be able to emerge in the first ten? How would I gain admission to another school if I failed this test? Another school wouldn't accept me and leaving the state isn't the best option. I've nobody out there! How would my mom feel if she found out that her only daughter stopped schooling just to maintain her pride? Would she wipe my ass or cut my tongue? She will surely be disappointed in me! I thoughtKiara Smith, what have you done? My heart was beating loudly as I stood up from my bed to dress for school. The discussion at the vice principal's office two days ago added to my anxiety. I picked up my backpack after I finished dressing and walked downstairs. I saw mom dishing food for my brother, Royce, who was fully dressed in his
