Author's point of view... "How about having fun with us...!" the man sneered and Juliette's heart skipped a beat as she quickened her pace, hoping to slip by unnoticed. But the menacing laughter that followed her every step told her she wasn't going to be let off that easily."Hey, sweetheart, where do you think you're going?" one of the guys called out, his voice dripping with malice. The alley was dark with almost no street lights nearby. The light from far away was barely enough to point out any moving creature in that way. That man switched on his phone light and focused on Juliette. The others followed him on their bikes, focusing their headlights on her as well. Juliett's pulse quickened, her mind racing for an escape route. She was like a deer caught amid city lights. Panicked. Terrified. She wanted to scream for help but being an isolated alley, it was doubtful if anyone could hear her. Yet she didn't want to give in, but before she could react, a voice cut through the an
Juliette's point of view... Though Logan managed to hit the break right on time, the car collided with the truck and stopped. I bumped into the deck that raised a strong pain in my head and gradually, lost consciousness for quite a while. When I finally got my senses back, I saw we were still in the car. Nobody cared if we were alive. I quickly check on Logan. He looked fine as the car was not damaged that bad but when I tried to wake him up, I was dumpfonded. His forehead was bleeding so much. I searched for my phone and called Harway right away. I struggled a lot to stop his wound from bleeding, while waiting for the ambulance. Soln Harway showed up with an ambiance following him. On the way to the hospital, I was still in a maze. My hands were still trembling. Seeing my condition, Harway reassured me that Logan will be fine. With the help of the staff, he took Logan on a stretcher and carried him to the Emergency Wing. I sat outside in the waiting area and started praying to
The ground was bustling with almost all the students from the school and the University. Richard took Juliette towards the ground and made her sit at one of the safest corners. Juliette never expected that Richard would bring her here. Soon Scarlett and Lissa joined her. The game began and it was then that Juliette spotted a known figure among the players. "Richard..." she exclaimed in shock to find Richard joining the team. "What was going on? Why is he there?" she mumbled to herself and stared at the ground puzzled. The refry whistled and the ball was tossed. Though it was the university guys to grabbed the ball first, it didn't take a minute for Richard to snatch the ball and throw it in the basket. "Wow...! That was the fastest basket that I had ever seen in this game" the commentator announced excitedly. Juliette felt a strange pride in her heart. When she looked up, Richard saw her in her direction which made her heart flutter. The whistle started the game again and Richard
Juliette's point of view... "Mom," I called her again, "Are they here yet?" she sighed before glancing at me in irritation from the side of her eye but soon burst into laughter as I started grinning. I had been asking her the same question for last thirty minutes. "You are a bit too excited, sweety" Mom replied as she shoved my head. Anything for that smile. A woman with a beautiful figure, with a chocolate-brown hair and fair complexion, who is in her late thirties yet so beautiful to make your heart flutter. That's my Mom, sweet and beautiful. "Will everything be fine honey?" she sighed halting the laughter. I understand her very well, about why she was concerned. All because of my dear sister. I had been roaming around the hall, picking up things and dusting the already neat and clean pillows on the sofa. I can't help it because I was a bit so excited when Mom broke the news to me. Aunt Dory's relatives are coming to meet us, I mean a marriage proposal for my dear freakin
Juliette's point of view... I was in the middle of the hallway in the school this morning, digging through the files submitted by the classmates to find mine when I heard a line or a few. Two of the teacher's voices whispering in excitedly from the room behind me. Usually I am a good girl and I wouldn't have bothered, but right now eavesdropping the teachers in the staff, felt like the only exciting adventure I could find in this exceptionally boring day."Did you see him...!" "How creamy he is...! I felt him...ugh...! I can't explain..."I chuckled to hear two of the oldies taking about a guy. They have the current too...! I thought they were talking about a film star or an idol but to my surprise they weren't. As those words could damn pull out any girl's interest, without further delay, I shifted closer to the room door and continued listening in."His hands brushed my arm and I was frozen...! You know I bought this dress yesterday. It gives a look of pumping my breasts up." M
Juliette's point of view... "Were you the one in the staff room earlier?" he asked and I froze. But still, my subconscious mind forced me to think another way.Who the hell is he to ask me? I rolled my eyes over his handsome face and attractive body and blurted out in my straight attitude. "Who the hell are you to ask me? It's none of your business...!" I smacked while turning around to run away to my class. Though he is not a student, he isn't a professor either. Who on hell works as a professor with that face and body? Rushing towards the class, I didn't even bother to turn back once to face him. If I do, I may fall for him. My my...he was...ugh...!! "Guys time to play...!" I announced the moment I stepped in. Everyone started screaming in joy. Getting settled, I started working on the reports and Scarlett started writing her notes. It was afternoon already and two consecutive periods of arts, I mean leisure was like candy for the kids. They were shouting, playing, enjoyi
Juliette's point of view... The art class, I chose that subject because I heard that the previous art teacher attended the classes so rarely. It was considered as a leisure period for us but now everything changed. Why on earth did the school hire an annoying character like him?A face like a chocolate man and the temper of a hell lord. What am I going to face right now? As the bell rang, everyone started gossiping about the new dream boy character introduced but my concern was solely on the look that he spared me before getting out of the room. I have to enter the devil's lair...! Oh God...! Why? It's 2.00 p.m and I'm standing at the door of Mr. Richard's office still hesitating to enter. Whatever is waiting for me, it cannot be good...after all...! After standing there for what felt like an eternity, I finally mustered up the courage to knock on the door."Get in," I heard an extremely resonant voice jerking my soul inside. Pivoting the doorknob and pushing the door open, I
Richard's point of view...A few days ago, I got a call from Dad's office and rushed back there only to listen to the thing I regretted the most. His will...! Before Dad passed away a year ago, he wrote a will and another will to keep his will safe until I complete my master's. I was in my last year when I got the news that his condition was bad, yet he didn't let me come. I can only see him at his funeral. It was irritating. His team of lawyers told me that he asked them to keep his will a secret until I get my master's graduation done. Ridiculous...! Why was that so important...! I felt it was the most annoying thing that he demanded from me but as soon as I got his will opened, my mind just fumed off. As a Master's graduate from the University of Oxford, I felt thoroughly humiliated when I was asked to work as a teacher at a high school. And he wanted me to be a art teacher...! Wasn't that a joke? Why would someone with an architecture major will work as an art teacher?
