I was laying across Aspens bed in her room while trying to get at least some work done before the girls helped me get ready for the party. According to them my outfit that I had chosen was unacceptable. I was wearing a hoodie with skinny ripped jeans- I wanted to be comfortable. It wasn't like I didn't know what was to be expected at a Highschool party, I just wasn't planning on staying for long. A quick drop in, show my face and come right back out. But clearly that wasn't going to happen. They were running around Aspen's room like they were on fire, pulling at each other's hair, curling it, wearing make-up etc. There was at least three hours to go before we had to leave at nine pm. "What dress are you wearing?", I looked up from my phone to find Harper staring down at me in concentration. "Uhhh" "You haven't chosen one yet?" I gave her a sheepish smile. She lunges for my arm before shoving me into the closet where Aspen's dresses were. "Asp, Ava's going to borrow one of yo
When I woke up the next day with a headache, the first thing that I noticed was that I was not in my room. I looked around slowly as I took in the features of the room. It was filled with white dark greys, and black. The king sized bed which I was currently sleeping on- thankfully alone- was in the center of the room. There was two doors, one for the en-suite and the other for the walk in closet. The more I took in the structure and design of the room, I realised that I was back at the Academy. This must be someone else's room.I got out of the bed and realised that I was wearing someone else's clothes. Just what happened last night? There was a glass of water with two aspirins on the bedside table. I took them and opened the bedroom door, as I followed the music which lead me to the kitchen. This person was really clean I had noticed - the living room was spotless. Narrowing my eyes at the bright sunlight that was coming from the windows, I entered the kitchen to find a dancing Eli
When I thought back to Saturday, I hadn't realised that I should've asked Elijah what happened on Friday at the party. I hadn't. So when people stared at me with knowing eyes on Sunday evening, I had thought that there was something on my shirt. But then someone showed me the video. The video of me sucking Elijah's thumb. Holy fuck. Needless to say I immediately ran to my room and deleted the video from social media using my laptop. I was lucky in the fact that the video was taken at such a poor quality, and that my face was hidden but it was clear enough that my features were. If the person threatening me found out, it would only be a matter of time before they tracked my location. I sighed at my laptop in front of me and lift my head. There weren't many people in the library from what I can see. I was sat in a corner with my work sprawled around me. It was my free period and I was using it to look over the monthly revenues for my business. I was so concentrated into my work that I
Elijah's POVI remembered the first time I saw Avalon Gracia. I had come back from a business meeting that my father held at his company. It was late in the evening, but he still wanted to work. I could tell that the employees were tired but no one dared to voice their opinion- not even me. The man ran Easton's Designs with an iron fist. The company was the best in America, but William Easton was not satisfied. He wanted to be the best in the world. William Easton was not a caring towards myself or my mother- Maya Easton. My mother would tell me of stories when they had first met- of how loving and caring he would be towards her. It was hard for me to believe that this man would ever care for anyone other than his business. I admired his work ethic but it was just that. He only saw me as a successor for his company, constantly training me to take over in the future. He'd provide for what we needed, but never once stopped to notice that we needed him, as a part of our family. This ma
Two more weeks had passed by quickly, and I was at Lakeview Academy for a total of a month and a half. Each day was the same, I would wake up, go to lessons, collect homework and finish it, do my actual work until late hours at night before sleeping and it repeats the next day. It had also been two weeks since I had seen Levi. Now that we've found out who the person was, I had to be careful not to be spotted with Levi regularly because it would only put him in harm's way. The four year old didn't understand, of course, and threw tantrums but I had managed to calm him down by video calling him every night. These were my favourite parts of the day. What was different though within these two weeks, was that there were rumours about how I had achieved a scholarship to the prestigious school. At first people believed that it was my academic ability that landed this scholarship, but now they believe otherwise. Apparently, I had slept with the Dean to get into school and Elijah because t
The weekend ended in the blink of an eye after that. Lijah stayed over on saturday and we shared the cookie dough ice-cream whilst watching some horror film on netflix. I was trying to watch it, and he kept on distracting me.At some point I ended up falling asleep on his shoulder with his arm around me, tucking me into him. When I woke up the next day at six am as per my daily routine, I was in my bed and him sprawling across my sofa. As a generous host, I made him some breakfast and then kicked him out of my room after he'd woken up at ten because I had work that needed to be done. He really wasn't happy about that, but we don't all get what we always want. Now I was sitting in my English Literature class on a Monday morning, the bleak grey clouds scattering the sky and rain pouring down like there's no tomorrow. It was dampening my mood further as I look out of the window. I had Austin in this class, as well as Elijah whom both I did not notice before. They were both sitting on e
Joseph as requested the previous day had managed to schedule a meeting, and book my hotel for three days. I would be arriving in Paris in the afternoon once we leave JFK airport where my private jet was scheduled to depart at eight in the morning. The others had no idea that I was leaving today, and once morning came, I had gotten ready for the day. I wore a beige business suit with matching cigarette trousers, paired with a white top. I had on nude heels, my black hair in a high ponytail after I had straightened it. It was nearly half past seven, so I exited my room and made my way to the school's exit and drove my koenigsegg Regera that arrived yesterday night near the Academy to the airport- luckily I wasn't noticed by anyone as it was too early in the morning. My car could drive itself automatically to any destination that I set on my phone and so when I had received the phone call from Joseph, I had set the destination to a secluded corner near the Academy so that I had a ride
The rest of the group dispersed shortly after dinner for their rooms, but Elijah hadn't left my side. He walked with me to my room, not once letting go of my hand."Uhh... Do you want to come in?", clearly he was worried the most about my sudden disappearance. We had gotten quite close over these two months. He nodded.As soon as we entered my room, he engulfed me into another hug - holding me so tight as if he was scared I would disappear if he let go. I slowly wrapped my own hands around his frame and pat his back."It's okay, I'm right here, Lijah... Elijah look at me". I spoke softly as I stroked his hair."No". He buried his head further into the crook of my neck and took in a deep breath."Look at me Elijah", I said firmly but still used my soft tone. He lifts his head to look into my eyes. "I'm right here, Lijah okay?"."Don't ever leave me again like that", he scolded me sternly but his grey eyes showed a bit of vulnerability. His hands gripped my waist as he looked down at me
