Adaline
My hoodie came over my head as I tried to not draw attention to me.
From just speaking with Ayato and the popular crowd , my popularity boost up just in a snap of fingers. But , I don’t like it.
Who would like attention?
It’s the worst feeling ever, to have eyes on you wherever you go , and also the room you are in to be filled with whispers. It fucking annoys me.
But, I kind of like it… I’m not gonna lie. People know who I am , and that made my confidence boost up with a lot. Yet, I’m not gonna let that take over my head.
“Hey! That’s not Adaline? Jemima’s sister?”
I perked up at the sound of my name. It seems like neither with my hoodie on, people still recognize me. Oh joy!
“Yeah, she is. Why is she wearing a hoodie?” Because I fucking want to. Do you have a problem with it?
“I don’t know.” The first girl said.
I didn’t hear anymore their conversation , because I was too far from them already. However , another conversation was brought to my ears by another people. This time… boys.
“Bro! Did you know that Adaline was Jemima’s sister?”
Okay, this I need to listen to.
I leaned my back on a wall and pretended to check my phone, when in fact I was listening to them. I should be a spy one day, don’t you think?
“No. Although I wouldn’t have guessed. They have the same last name , but Jemima’s body is better.” My mouth was formed into an “o” at this. Oh , those man-fucking-whores .
“That’s not true bro. Adaline is true, besides , her sister might be hot, but not with that caked up face and those clothes she wears.”
“Oh, c’mon Zach. You like Adaline , or what?” Zach? That’s the party guy right?
Wait… does he like me?!
I widened my eyes and listened closely to them.
“Kind of. She’s true. Y’know… I wanted to invite her to a date, but I can’t. She won’t even want to date me.”
My eyebrows shot up. Why I wouldn’t date him? He seems like a fine guy.
But , because my taste in guys sucks, I bet he is like the others. By others I mean Tyler and Ayato.
“Huh? Why so , mate?” The second’s guy voice sounds so oddly familiar…
“Because she’s-” And that’s when he was interrupted by another voice. Goosebumps began to appear on my arms , because of his deep voice. It got me weak in the knees just by hearing him, which is a very bad thing.
“Because she’s mine.” I sucked in a sharp breath, my heartbeat ringing in my ears. My face felt suddenly hot.
You know , that emoji “O. O”, would exactly describe my expression right now.
I pushed myself off of the wall and began to walk in the opposite direction, when I collided with a body. The person caught my arms , preventing me from falling, and pushed me slightly back.
I looked up and saw Noah. He smiled at the sight of me.
“Adaline!” He exclaimed , but then a frown took over his face. “What happened?”
I shook my head and waved my hand nonchalantly, yet inside I was just a puddle of emotions scattered all around the floor. I was feeling dizzy, my heart was beating, butterflies began to tickle me in the stomach and a very warm feeling was teasing me in the chest.
Noah didn’t seem convinced with my response but left it anyway. He looked over my shoulder , and a smile took upon his face.
“Yo! Tyron! Zach!” He hollered while waving at them. I flinched from the sudden scream that took me by surprise. Noah saw that and sheepishly smiled at me , mumbling a little “sorry”.
I smiled at him and he left, not after saying his goodbyes.
I took off in the direction I was walking , until I collided with him, thinking that I should ditch school today. The class just started so I don’t see the point into going to it.
It’ll be kind of hard to leave school, with the bodyguards around the school , so I might just go up on the roof.
I found that secret entrance on the first day of school. I tripped over my feet while running to not be late on my class , and I fell. The janitor closet was opened slightly ajar , so , when I fell, the door flew open and I fell face first. Then I got up and curiosity took over me very easily. I opened my phone and began to search around, until I found a ladder and then the way to the roof. Then I told Jemima…
Without knowing, I arrived up there. I looked up and saw some grey clouds , a little far away from here. It will not be much until it will rain. I sighed and sat down on the edge of the roof.
Only being on the roof, reminds me of him.
It’s hard to not avoid him…
After he did what he did today, I realise that it will be more harder.
Maybe if I date Zach… maybe he will forget about me.
However, I’m just a game to him, right?
He will use me then throw me, just like a tissue. I’m just that worthless for him.
To be honest, I’m worthless for everyone. It’s not like someone cares for me, besides my family.
I sigh.
I just got over my break up with Tyler, but then he needed to come along.
Him and his friendship with Tyler.
Him and his looks.
Him and his funny, arrogant and cocky attitude.
Him and his words from earlier…
Oh Anders, why do you make this harder for me?

“Yo! Cherry!” A voice called me, as I was aimlessly walking around the hallways. I widened my eyes and tried to quicken my pace.
Damn. Damn. Damn.
“Cherry! Wait for me!” The voice shouted again.
Suddenly two arms circled my waist and pushed me into a hard chest.
“Oomph!” The collision making the surprised word come out from my mouth. A chin was pressed on my shoulder , and then there was the chest behind my back rumbling, making me gasp from the feeling.
“Oi, Cherry. Are you ignoring me?” The sound of his voice coming out husky as he spoke. I shook my head and broke free from his grasp. I turned around , only to be met with a confusion filled Ayato.
I gulped the uneasy feeling in my throat , and tried to speak the next words confidently.
“I don’t want to speak with you anymore, Ayato.” Ayato was taken back from what I’ve said. I don’t judge him, though. It was very unexpected of me to say that.
He shook his head and took a step closer to me. I took a step back, away from him.
“Why?”
I shrugged. “Because you’re just using me.”
His eyebrows shot up in surprise. “That’s not true…”
That got a little bit of anger rising within me. “You know that is true! So quit the play , and let me alone!”
He got angry too. “Why should I do that?! You’re mine!”
I looked at him, dumbfounded. “I’m not yours! I’m no one’s but mine!”
He laughed. We drew a little bit of attention to us, which made me very uncomfortable.
“That’s where you are wrong, Cherry…” He crossed his arms over his chest, and shook his head , a mischievous glint in his eyes. I stood frozen in my spot, too shocked to do something.
He began to come more closer to me. I tried to move my legs, arms , a part of my body , but everything seemed frozen at that time. Even the time seemed to freeze. The only thing , person that was moving was Ayato, which scared the hell out of me because he was coming closer.
When he was in front of me , he cupped my chin in one of his large hands and tilted my head up.
He got his face closer to mine, a taunting smile on his face.
“I’ll show you that you are mine, Adaline. No one else’s but mine.” His lips were coming closer to mine. With his eyes fixed on my lips , he draped an arm around my waist and brought the hand , which he was cupping my chin, on my cheek.
My eyes were wide open. Ayato raised up his eyes to meet mine.
I couldn’t breath anymore. It was getting very hot here, very fast.
His eyes held so many emotions in them , that it overwhelms me.
His lips brushed slightly with mine and that’s when…
I fainted.
