The car stopped right infront of me, the door immediately swung open, his feet hit the ground followed by his amazing body dressed all black.

"Janelle come" he stretched his hand towards me, i moved closer and placed mine on his then he led me to the car.

After shutting the door, he wore his seat belt and started the engine without saying a word.

Immediately the car started a heavy started like it was waiting for me to first get into safety. Dear Crush thank you.

"Are you alright?" he finally broke the silence. I nodded and gave him a small smile.

"How did you know i was here?" i asked.

"I saw Eston when he was dragging you out of school" he replied not looking at me.

RYAN's POV

"What happened, did you two fight?" I asked her.

"Quarrel" she replied staring out of the window. I felt pity for her, how could Eston do that? Hahha they are both sturborn anyways.

"Forgive him ok? He's a good guy he'll come around" i told her, she simply nodded and smilled.

I dropped her off at her home and she stood there waving till i drove off.

*

Immediately i stepped into the house i met my parent fighting again. For God sake what do they always fight about?

"Hi dad, Hi mom" I greeted heading upstairs but they didnt even notice me how much more replying, there were just throwing bad words at each other.

"You are a liar"

"What do you know about me? "Have you ever seen me with another woman?"

"Hah! Should i still wait for that huh?"

Thats my parent still yelling from downstairs and before i knew it they started breaking and throwing object at each other.

I slammed the door to my room, with so much force and anger then lay on my bed, within a split second i was fast asleep driving into dreamland.

I woke up the following morning with a groaning stomach then i remembered I slept of yesterday without having dinner and nobody cared.

I shove the duvet away rushing to the bathroom for a quick shower, after that i got dressed before heading downstairs.

After breakfast of toasted bread and fried plantain with a cup of tea i walked gently to school feeling fresh.

Immediately stepped into the school compound, all eyes flew to me like i was some kind of masquerade. Rubbish, what are they looking at?

I tried to pay less attention to them as i walk to my first class but the glare was just too much. This so so unsually.

They would stare at me gossiping and clapping their hands, some would hiss and walk away and others would walk pass me spiting and snapping thier fingers like i was some kind of deadly plague.

Then i sight Ryan walking alone down the hallway, dressed in white hoodie and black trousers. "Hey Ryan wait up" i called and ran up to him, thank God Natasha is not with him yet. 

"What?" he stopped and slip his both hands into his pocket.

"I was thinking maybe you could tutor me today during free period, i didnt understand my last assignment" I told him.

"Tutor you?" he raised an eyebrow at me like i was talking nonsence. "why would i waste my time tutoring some kind of slut?" his eyes were bloody red. I shook to the bones. Did i hear right?

"Ryan" I called surprised "whatsup? Are we fighting too?" i asked gaining for myself a disgust look.

"You can pretend all you what but i dont want to be found with a slut like you" he dropped walking away. I froze hearing that. What the hell just happened?

"Ryan" i called and ran up to him grabbing his wrist.

"Get lost" he yank his hands off mine "stay away from me, very far away" he said then walk off.

I stood there thinking what i did wrong then i heard murmuring around me, i look around to notice everyone staring at me.

They had disgusted looks on their faces like i was the woman with an issue of blood. Is this a dream?

"Hey looser"

"Party girl"

"Cheat"

"slut"

they all yelled gathering around me and throwing papers at me. A yellow flier.

I bent slowly and picked up one of the papers, my heart ached when i tore it open. I couldnt believe what i just saw, no no this is not real.

I look around nervously and almost half of the school had the flier in their hands. My heart raced, flipped and creak as tears began to well up in my eyes.

I ran to the girls room and stared at myself in the mirrow, crying and wondering if i was the one naked on top of two boys beside the pool.

Then i remebered it was at the party where those two guys attacked me, but this looked different, it look like i was actually flirting and sleeping with them.

What do I do now? How do I handle this? And now the fliers have been posted all round the school, even on the walls and notice board.

This explainds Ryan's behaviour towards me this morning. How could he believe i could do such a thing? He has always been the one by my side, now that he has doubts abiut me who will help me this time? Now that my reputation and name is at stack, how do i handle this? Dear Crush please believe me. 

Episode 20

I remained in the girls room crying too afraid to go out, what if i get expelled? I could remember the last words of those guys "I am done?" that means someone sent them and came at the right time to take those pictures.

*Tears* 

RYAN's POV

I just cant believe she could do a thing that, i thought she was different from other girls but that flier said otherwise. I feel bad talking to her that way this morning but i cant help it even seeing her or hearing her name disgust me.

The whole school thing made my headache so i left and went to the library, i know the guys would be looking for me but i had to be alone. I had to think.

*

*

I came out of the girls room drying my tears only to see those three slut standing infront of me with folded hands, there were smilling widely, I have never seen them this happy i guess me been in pains is a joyful news to them.

"Hey looser i never knew you are a slut too" Natasha mocked and the girls laughed.

"You did this right?" i asked tears welling up in my eyes, i know she was happy seeing me cry but i cant help it I wish I could tell those tears to hold on for a while.

"It just for fun" she chuckled, the girls laughed again.

"What did i ever do to you?" I yelled in tears "Do you find Joy in hurting people huh?"

"Shut up bitch" Amelia chipped in "How dare you talk to us that way?" Lilian backed and pushed me to the ground.

I tried getting up but Natasha pushed me back "I warned you to stay away from REDS didnt I? You never know what am capable of, i can ruin your life in just a second, I can evil kill you"

"I'll kill you first" Ivy came out of nowhere fuming like she was ready to kill, she rushed to us and pushed Natasha to the ground, Lilian and Amelia rushed to her but a slap across their face flew them to the ground close to Natasha "I'll kill you all if i see you hurting her again" Ivy yelled angrilly and dragged me up.

I glared at Natasha she was bleeding and had a surprised look on her face, Amelia and Lilian too were still on the floor to weak to get back on their feet.

"Lets go girly" Ivy dragged me away panting.

Ivy took me to the class after cleaning me up "You'll be fine girly, dont mind them" she assured me.

"You dont believe them right? I asked crying.

"No no girly i dont, Janelle is not that kind of a person" she pulled me into a warm hug and cried with me.

This is the one I'll always be grateful to as long as I live. Ivy Anderson.

"Are you Janelle?" A girl ran up to me.

"Yea" I replied.

"Whats wrong?" Ivy asked sharp.

"The principal wants to see you, goodluck" she said and ran off like like i was contacted with a deadly virus ebola.

I turned to Ivy she look scared just like me.

"Go on and see the principal" she hugged me and whispered "goodluck" I nodded and took heavy steps to the principal's office. Only God knows what faith has in store for me.

"Good day mam" i greeted the principal, a middle aged woman with grey hair and chocolate eyes.

"Janelle Zenith right?" she dropped her pen and faced me.

"Yes mam" I nodded.

"sit" she pointed to the chair opposite her.

"Hope you know why you are here?" she folded her hand on her desk.

"Am not sure mam" my head faced down.

"Then explain this to me" she passed a yellow flier to me, I look at it and kept quiet not sure of what to say.

"Dont just keep quiet" she sounded inpatient.

"I dont know anything about this mam, i cant even explain it, am confused myself" another round of tears began to well up in my eyes.

"You cant say you know nothing about it when you are clearly seen on the flier naked with two unknow guys" she backed.

"maybe someon set me up"

"Who?" she became a bit calm.

"I dont know who" i explained cleaning my nose.

"Do you have problem with anyone in this school?" she asked.

"Ehh not really mam but sometimes you dont really know your enemies and the reason for their hatred towards you" I told her, She glared at me and nodded like a made a little sense.

"Ok then you should be expelled but i decided to put you into considerations since you got some good grades and since the music class needs you, so you are suspended for a month" she said, I kept crying and nodding.

"You can go home after clearing out all the fliers all round the school, the school's name cannot be spoit because of a mess a single student" she said a passed note to me "give that to your parent, you may leave now" she said nodding. I nodded and left.

I kept going around the school clearing up all the fliers on the floor and on the wall, I guess Ivy had lesson now if not she would have been the first to help me out.

I passed the art class sneezing and sobbing when a hand suddenly grab my wrist and pulled me into the art class and the door went shut, I was slammed against the wall and just as i was about to scream for help light immediately came on to reveal Eston laughing and holding his stomach.

Episode 21 loading.....

HAPPY NEW MONTH 😄😄😍😍

After leaving the school theatre, I went to the cafetaria alone since Ivy had some research to do at the library.

I sat alone munching on my snacks when i felt a tap on my shoulder.

It was Natasha.

"What do you want?" i asked my eyes fixed on my lunch.

"What made you think you'll have Ryan huh?"

"And who is talking about having Ryan? We are just friends" I told her.

"Well you have to stop being friends with him or Eston even Declan and Stiles because they dont stick to loosers like you" she backed.

"Go get a life Natasha" I said and stomped out of the cafetaria only to colide with something. Eston. I did not bump into him this time, he did.

"Are you blind?" he yelled "must you always appear near me?" he backed angrilly, his fist clentched like he was ready to give me a blow but i didnt care.

"Really now? Look Eston if there is a blind one here then thats you, you bump into me remember? So you should be the way watching your way" i pointed to him.

Murmuring, gossips and questions started from other student that watched, I glared around and got death glare from everyone. Ryan, Declan and Stiles grinned, like there were watching some kind of comedy.

"You dont know who you are joking with, you will soon" Eston eyed me. I was a bit scared but i tried to hide it, his threat were loaded but i wont let it get to me.

REDS am ready for you all.

RYAN's POV

Hahahha

She is really brave huh, I like that.

ESTON's POV

What the hell is wrong with her? Is she even normal? Who talks to me that way? Eston Baxter, heir to reigners, leader of REDS, she really yelled at me, she should be ready for me. Hahahha Eston Baxter no one ever does that.

DECLAN's POV

That girl is actually a thing.

Hahhaha

Eston just got a dose of his own medicine.

STILES's POV

Hahahah

Does she know who is Eston?

"Miss Janelle you are late" the english teacher Mr carlos told me immediately i stepped into the class.

"Am sorry sir something came up" I explained.

"Sit" he ordered and faced the board.

"Thanks sir" I took my seat panting, i looked around for Ivy she was not in the class. Library still?

"Ehh miss Zenith can you tell the class what you understand by Record?" Mr Carlos asked and all eyes flew to me, I rolled my eyes and ignore them.

"Ehh.." I started "Record to my understanding means keeping an account of details of an information so that you do not forget" I explained and all eyes flew to me again hahah why not this is english and not math.

"Wao Miss Zenith thats......" mr Rogers was about to congratulate me but the door flew open revealing Eston fucking Baxter. The one i dispise.

The class froze, the building shook and silence dropped, not a single word was heard.

I glared at mr Carlos and expected him to yell at Eston for barging into the class in such manner but he was quiet. I look around and everyone was shivering, their head all faced on their locker afraid to look up. What is the meaning of this huh? Ordinary Eston Mtchew....

Eston glared at me, I did the same i wont look down like everyone else. He smirked and walked over to my locker.

"Away!" he ordered the boy sitting beside me, the boy immediately flew to the back like a truck was coming to hit him.

Eston sat close to me and his scent immediately filled my nostrils, a rose scent mixed with fresh air.

"Get up and follow me" he ordered.

"what?" I glared at him.

"Its not a request, its an order" he said. I boiled in anger.

"Are you that dumb?" i asked and "dont you have a single respect? Didnt you see a teacher here before you barge in and start giving orders?" I growled.

Silence lingered in the class like everyone just lost their breath.

"I dont need to learn much, am way to smart" Eston replied.

"You are dumb" I dropped. "Get out now" I pointed to the door.

"I will" Eston stood up adjusting his shirt. "but not without you" he grabbed my wrist pulling me along with him.

"What.....Mr Carlos please dont let him do this" i turned to the quiet teacher who just folded his hands across his chest. "Sir you got to stop him" I added. He didnt say a word, he just gave me a defeated look that says "Am sorry I wish there is something i could do" and before i could say another word i was dragged out of the class.

Who gave Eston the right to behave the way he likes? Because he's heir to reigners? Fuck Reigners! Fuck Eston!

When we were out of the class Eston spun me around and slammed me against the wall, he raised my chin forcefully with his finger and stared at me.

"I warned you, didnt i?" he was smilling like the devil.

"This is just the begining" he said and started dragging me to the school park.

Oh my God! Now am scared, am so scared.

"Eston let me go now?" I kept struggling with him, but ofcourse he's way too stronger.

Oh God save me.

Episode 18

ESTON's POV

I kept dragging her to the school parking lot and she kept protesting, this girl was actually born sturborn.

"Let me go now Eston" she yelled. "let me go or I'll beat you up.

"Hahahha, you'll beat me up? Funny"

"Let me go bitch, what you are doing is illegal, you are going against the school rules" she kept struggling, I glared at her and smirk.

"Bitch" she backed, ofcourse i know what she hates most.

When we got to my black buggati I let the door open an ordered her to get in. She sent me a death glare and before i knew it she took to her heels running back to school.

"shit" I sighed going after her, i threw my long legs one after the other and with my stretched out hand, i cough her by the collar of her shirt.

"Get away from me Eston" she screamed.

"You asked for this" i nodded and swept her off her feet, she landed on my shoulder.

"Kidnapp!!! Kidnapp!! She yelled "somebody help!!"

"Do I look like a kidnapper?" i chuckled.

"You look more like their boss" she spat and without a second word i threw her into the passangers seat and slam the door shut.

"Kidnapp!" she kept banging and hiting, I ignored her and focused on wearing my seat belt. After seeing it was of no use she stopped, and rested on the chair panting like someone who just finished a maraton race.

"What do you want from me?" she lean closer to me from the passangers seat "You could be a raspist, kidnnaper or an ex gang or even more so tell me what do you want?" she backed.

"You forgot one" i chuckled and took out a packet of cigerrete, i lit one stick and brought up to my lips. "am a smoker too" I smilled at her from the front mirrow.

"You need help" she rested on her seat again.

"And so do you"

"what?" her eyebrow furrowed.

"Yes so you'll stop being pathetic for a guy" I inhalled the cigerrete through my mouth and alot of smoke came out of my noise.

I glared at her from the mirrow, she was silent her eyes were teary.

I started the car and drove off.

I speed recklessly on the highway and she kept struggling at the back seat asking me were i was taking her.

"You still love him dont you" I asked my attention on the road.

"shut your mouth Eston if you have nothing better to say" she blurted out, This girl is capable of killing with her tongue and she'll get it from me.

I stopped the car and turned to her "That party night, I kissed you during the game, why did you run off cos you couldnt just resist me" I smirk licking and bitting my lower lips.

"What?" she glared at me.

"Yes you enjoyed it huh?" I licked my lips again, she glared at me like she was going to put a dagger to my neck and get my head cut off.

"You are shameless" she spat.

"You want another kiss?" i drew closer till our forehead met, our nose colided, i could feel her heart beating and her body shivering and just when my lips was about crushing agaist hers a sharp slap was thrown across my face, so hot and painful.

This girl is a big bitch i didnt succeed in kissing her the second time but she actually succeeded in slapping me the second time. I couldnt take it anymore, i moved away and glared at her, i dare not slap her but she cant stay with me in this car.

"Get out now!!" I swung the door open, "lets see how you'll be able to walk back to school.

"its no big deal Eston fucking Baxter" she steped out of the car and slammed it with so much force. If this car gets damaged not even her entire family can foot the bill of repairing it or getting a new one.

I watched her as she walked away crazily and stepped on the accelerator and drove of in high speed causing enough dust to turn her brown.

*

*

I dispise him!!

Eston! Eston! Eston! I hate you more than you can ever imagine, I hate everything about you from the crown of your head to the sole of your feet.

If only i had responsible parent that would always look out for me then you wont have enough chance to treat me this way.

I looked back and couldnt see a trace of his car, he was gone leaving me here all to myself, He's cold hearted indeed.

I looked around i was so stranded, i know nothing about this only place that looks more like an abandoned plantation, the floor was sandy and soft just like a beach. I have to find my way back to school, thats the only way i could get home safely.

The sound of a loud thunder suddenly hit my both ears. I shook and looked up to the sky it was dark and heavy obviously calling for rain.

"Oh God please no, please hold it for a while" I prayed in my heart and just immediately wind started blowing like my prayer provoked it more and this time i started shivering and crying wondering what to do. 

Suddenly i heard a loud horn of a car, my turned my head and coming towards me cwas that familia car i always recognise. A lexus. Coming in high speed and creating dust all the way.

I know who owns that car but why him? Is he bound to save him?

Episode 19 loading

Guys who do you want for Janelle? Ryan or Eston

"Comeon baby" he said but he was not looking at me, his hand was stretched out but not to me. 

I followed the dirction of his eyes and my heart stopped again. He choose her? Ryan wants her? I froze, my heart ached and i felt like it was going to jump out of my chest, if this is a dream then its time for me to wake up, someone should come and wake me up.

She grinned and glance at me, she saw the surprise and pain i felt and i knew she was happy.

Ryan didnt spare me a glance he just pulled her up and they both walk to the stage.

Someone!! Please wake me up.

I watched in horror as Ryan wrapped his arms around her dancing, she was so excited laughing and dancing like a puppy dog and if looks could kill she would have drop dead a minute ago.

I couldnt take it anymore, I dragged my stupid self up and rushed out. Once i was out of the gate i took of my shoes and took to my heels. Dont ask me were i was going because i myself have no clue.

As i ran i felt like my heart was running away from me, it was like i was going to die anytime soon, Pain was riding through me. That kind of pain i cannot describe.

Maybe i was wrong to want him so much or maybe i should have told him what i felt for him, was it my fault?

Why would i think he would wanted someone like me? After all am not his type.

I held my head so thight like i was preventing it from falling of my neck and from the day i met Ryan till this day everything flooded into my head like it was pushed in by the force of my grip.

Right from the day i bumped into him and down to the time he saved me from been hit by a truck, I remembered the way he held me in his arms not wanting me to fall.

And the second time i bumped into him he's strong arms were wrapped around my waist, he stopped my tears.

He invited me to his party and stared me while i sang, he said i sang real well. He even danced Ed sheeran's shape of you with me at the party with me last night with his eyes fixed on mine.

He turtored me this morning.

The the kiss *sobs* he kissed me intensly like the air he breaths comes from my lips.

And now everything, all of this remained fresh and vivid in my system refusing to lick out but Ryan forgot everything, they flew out of his memory.

I was expecting him to take my hand and lead me up to the stage but he didnt. He didnt even spare me a glace or behaved like exist but i would always glare at the image of him on my camera.

He took me as a friend but he kissed me then choosed someone else to date. Someone i hate and someone that hate me most.

Yes.....Its Natasha

I was still running when i heard a music i recognised sounding from a nearby bar "I thought you loved me too" by Daniel Mustard.

With a broken heart and a cracked voice, I sang along.

*In the written word of a broken hearted.

I dont know what you've heard.

I dont know where it started but everyone knows there is a reason left to hear from old.

*With no bride to cross, much less sense to burn, when wveything you've lost is evrything you've earned.

I'm not hard to find but you are not looking, not this time.

I'm sorry i thought you loved me too

I guess you musnt wonder why i do the crazy shit i do.

And you seemed to be satisfied, denying it was true.

Ain'nt just like you tho to hind behind some great disguse.

*Delete my number disconect the phone and let love slumber tonight I'll alone in this world of wonder?

Well i fall like thunder while you keep your toes

Any other time you'll be hard pressed to find

In the written word of the heart broken

*I dont go half the nerve, i dont go half the parts

Bit i better piece myself together or I'll remain like this forever.

I cried more singing the song i thought he loved me but i was wrong even all the shit i did because of him and the stupid i acted because of him were all in vain.

I thought he loved me too but i was wrong. So wrong.

I stopped running and fell to the ground, my hand placed on my chest and my eyes up gazing at the sky. I wish i could be like the sky, the moon or the stars.

I wish i was never born nothing made sense, no family, no sibling and the friends i thought i hard dissapeared when i knew i needed them most. 

I was still on the floor crying when a bold ligt flash across my face, I quickly turned to my left to see a truck speeding towards me like it was been handled by a reckless driver.

Shiver ran through my spin as the thought of how Ryan saved me then it made me think, who would save me this time? Maybe no one.

As the car horned loudly i felt a pair of strong arms wrapped around my waist and I was been lifted of the ground. Someone is carrying me.

"no, no, let go off me, dont save me anymore" I kept yelling and swinging my both legs till i was thrown to the floor out of the road.

"And who told you I saved you before, are you high or something?"

"What?"

That voice, that rude voice.

No its not Ryan's.

I tossed my head upward and my eyes landed on a set of blue eyes. Who gave him the right to save me? How dare he?

Yes...its no one else but a rude jerk, dumb ass, arrogant freak, cold hearted, player. Mr Easton fucking Baxter. The one I dispise.

"How dare you save me?" I yelled at his face.

"I shouldnt have but i cant bear to see your blood stain this road. He smirk. I hate this guy he always add to my problems.

"Dont ever same me again, all of you f**king REDS, stay away from me" fresh tears began to well up in my eyes.

He glared at me and for the first time his eyes narrowed in concern.

"You are dumb" he frowned, "because you love him you now behave like a pathetic freak for a guy who doesnt even notice you"

"And its none of your bussiness" i spat

"Yes" he said almost immediately "its none of my bussiness but if i were you i would pick up my pieces or you'll remain this way forever, You are better than that" he pointed to me and turn around walking away.

"Eston" i called calmly, he stopped at his track without facing me.

"Thank you" i muttered.

"Dont thank me cos i wont save you next time, I'll let you die you are not even important anyways" he said walking away and dissapearing into darkness.

"Janelle" Ivy ran up to me as is struggled to open my locker, my heart was still aching from yesterday's event and no matter how much i try to hide it just so obvious that am sad.

Ivy parted my shoulder and i turned to face her, she was sad too and it made me remember what she said "He has slept with so many girls than an accountant can count". I sobbed and rested my head on her shoulder.

"sorry" she muttered parting my back. "You'll be fine."

I walk to the girls room and stood infront of the mirrow staring at my dupicate, my eyes were red and swollen, my hair unarranged, my dressing inproper. I have never been this way before, The once old Janelle is braver, she is more confident, she is not too emotional.

But coming to this school turned everything around, knowing Ryan turned everything around, why i would i look this way because of one stupid crush i have on a player.

"Janelle this is not you!!!" I yelled at the mirrow "Just like Daniel Mustard's i thought I loved you lyrics" I would pick up my pieces if not i will remian like this forever.

Everyone who wants to see me hurt and cry I promise you, I'll show you the stuff am made of.

F**K YOU ALL!!

"Hey Janelle" Ryan stopped me when walking to the class.

"Yea?" I turned to face him.

"Are you alright?" his eyebrow furrowed.

"Huh? Do i look like someone who is not alright?" I raised my eybrow at him.

"Ahh no, no worries" he chuckled "Well would you like me to come over and tutor you today?

"Aww Ryan thanks, I actually have a friend who would help me do that" I smilled "and by the way thanks for yesterday."

"Ok alright" he nodded.

"Ryan" that dumb ass Natasha ran up to him and hugged him kissing him like a desparate sex addict right infront of me. Her intention is to hurt me both i pray they both handle it when they start hurting each other.

I sigh and walked away. 

I walk to the school theatre to sign up for music, this would be my first step to get me distracted from everything around.

"Good day " i greeted the young girl giving out forms. "I wanna sigh for music class" i told her.

"Am sorry but its closed" 

"What? How come? But it just started last week"

"Yes but we already have many candidate, am sorry you have to wait till next year" she told me.

"No please i cant wait till next year" i pleaded.

"look miss am busy you have..."

"What is going on here?" a female voice interrupted.

"Mam she wants to sigh for music and she is been sturborn when i told her its closed" the girl explained.

"Hello am Claire am the music auditor, so whats your name?" she asked.

"Janelle zenith mam" i replied.

"hmm ok" she search her file. "but you are already registered since last week so whats the problem?" she raised her head to look at me.

"Huh? Registered how?" i asked confused.

"Here" she passed me the form "fill it and bring it back" she glared at me like i was some kind of fool to forget i already registered

"Thanks" I collected it and left.

Who on earth got me registered? I thought.

My bicycle was left to a man who would fix the wheels and the brake, but I couldnt get it till the next day so I had to ride with Ryan home.

"Where were you going?" he asked as when stopped infront of our gate.

"Just a taking a joy ride" I replied.

"Me too" he chuckled. "why dont you forget about your old bike so I'll get you a new one" he surgested.

"No thanks, it can be repaired anyways" I told him, he nodded and silence dropped between us, we stood staring at each other than and it made me so uneasy so I looked away since it was .

"Janelle" he called and packed his bike he has been holding for a while.

"What is it Ryan?" I asked.

"Eston is really lucky to have you" he smiled at me.

"I think am the luckiest here" I returned the smile.

"Janelle" he called again and ran his hands through his hair like he was unsure of what to say. I glance at his green eyes, there were so sad, does eyes that once pierce me like a drop of living water to my soul were really so sad.

"Janelle take care ok?" he said.

"I'll get going" I nodded "bye" I waved and turned around to leave when suddenly I felt a pair of hands wrapped around my waist and I felt weighed at the side of my shoulder.

"Ryan what are you doing?" I asked softly.

"Just a hug please... am freezing" he said and thightened his grip around my waist. Something urged me to pull away but I couldnt till I heard a ranging voice behind me.

"What is the meaning of this?"

Ryan quickly pulled away and we turned around to see Eston standing with an angry and painful expression on his face.

I turned to Ryan, his face was filled with guit just like I am.

What I have always been scared of has finally happened.

"I just asked a question" Eston yelled.

"Eston please calm down Ryan and I...." I walked towards him and tried to hold him but he moved back like I was contacted with a deadly virus. It hurts.

"Eston am sorry we just met by accident" Ryan tried to explain.

"Really now? And you are here hugging my girlfriend by accident isnt it?" Eston raised his eyebrow.

"Eston I...." I tried to explain.

"Just shhh" he walked away indicating the conversation was over.

"Am sorry really Janelle" Ryan apologised. but I didnt stand to listen, I just ran after Eston.

"Eston please wait" I ran to him before he could get into his car.

"Eston am so sorry, Please dont loose trust in me, am so sorry" I held his hand.

"Why? Do you think its easy seeing my friend hugging my girlfriend in such manner?" he asked hurt.

"Eston am sorry I didnt mean for that to happen"

"And you stood still and let him hug you like that?"

"Eston please its just a friendly hug"

"But it doest look like that" he yelled.

"Rock" I called hurt. He glared at me and ran his hands through his hair feeling fustrated.

"Look noodles am sorry for yelling ok?" he took my hands in his "I felt so hurt seeing you two that way and I was also jealous too" he made a baby face "noodles please..." he was saying but I interrupted him by pressing my lips against his.

He was surprised for a while but he then wrapped his arms around me and kissed me back.

"Am sorry Rock" I pulled away and lay my head on his chest with my hand on his arm, rubbing and caressing it.

"You know noodles, if accusing you would make you kiss me like this then I guess I'll do that often" he joked.

"Crazy jerk" I hit his arm.

"Big head" He laughed running his hands through my hair.

The feeling was elcetrifying.

ESTON'S POV

I got so jealous seeing them that way, why should Ryan hug her that way? I was annoyed at him but I just kept calm and refrain from punching his nose because his my buddy.

I trust noodles and know she wont hurt me. I dont joke with this angel who is hugging me like this. And no matter what she'll always be mine.

RYAN'S POV

It felt like I was in heaven hugging Janelle; I was enjoying all of it that I didnt notice Eston standing a mile away from us.

I felt sorry for him and also felt guity, seeing us that way hurt him I hope it doest cause any conflict between us.

But why cant Janelle be mine? Why cant I have her? Its has always been Eston.

He has always been the best among the REDS, he gets everything before I even try to make an atempt. He got all the good grades and good names. It has always been Eston.

Now Janelle, can I leave without someone amazing like her?

*

I lay on my bed staring at the ceiling thinking about all that happened today. And I wish I could erase them all from my memory except for the good time I spent with Eston.

I was just about closing my eyes to sleep when my phone suddenly beeped. I glared at the screen of my phone and it was a message from Ryan. It says.

"Thanks for today, its cool spending today with you, I cant help myself to believe the fact we dont always get what we want but I just hope everything turns out well"

I glared at the meassage as many thoughts ran through my mind. What exactly is his problem?

Dedicated to Oge Peace.

Episode 16

I stretched and yawned lazily on the bed too weak to get up or even go to school. I just wish its weekend already.

"Janelle you'll be late for school" I heard my mums voice.

"Am preparing" I yelled back and rushed into the bathroom.

"You didnt return home with your bike yesterday what happened?" my dad asked. I hate having such parent they never notice the good things about me only the little and unreasonable things.

"It got damaged, so I left it to a man who would repair it" I replied not looking at him.

"But I tried warning you about the broke brake yesterday but you didnt even wait to listen" my dad said

"Am sorry dad" I said not looking at him.

"No you are not, you have to trek to school today so next time you learn your lesson" he backed.

I nodded and took my bag before rushing out.

"Why are you late?" Mr Ricks asked immediately I stepped into the class.

"Am sorry sir I had something to fix" I told him.

"Well you can do the rest of the fixing in the detention class for two hours" he said.

"But sir..." I tried to complain but stopped when he gave me a horifying look.

"Two hours detention after this lesson miss Zenith, you can take your seat" he said and faced the board.

"Why are you late?" Ivy asked immediately I took my seat beside her.

"I had to trek because my bike got damaged yesterday" I told her.

"Is that why you are so moody?" she asked.

"Not just that" I lean my head on my palms.

"So what?" she raised her eyebrow.

"Eston caught Ryan and I hugging yesterday" I told her.

"What?" her eyes burged out of her socket. "why Janelle?" she gave me a dissapointed look.

"Its not what you are thinking ok? We just met by accident"

"So what?"

"He still loves me" I said.

"Janelle see am getting tired of all this Ryan Issue i think its high time you tell Eston about it, unless you are strong enough to handle it when you loose him" she said with a frowned before facing the board.

I glared at my wrist watch and, I still had about an hour to spend in the detention, the time seem to take forever in moving. I wouldnt have even notice that if Eston was here with me.

I took out my camera and started glaring at some images to keep my self busy when the door suddenly swung open I looked up from my camera and it was Ryan.

"Ryan what do you want?" I dropped my camera giving him a steady look. "Why are you stocking me?" I frowned.

"What stocking you?" his eyebrow furrowed "how?" he slamed the door shut walking towards me.

"Stay there please dont come close" I took a step back.

"Why?" he kept walking towards me and I kept moving back till my back hit the wall at the extreme end of the class.

"Move away Ryan" my voice became shaky.

"You are right Janelle" he placed his hand on the wall above my head "am stocking you, I love you"

"Ryan get away from me" I pushed him by the chest.

"Please love me too" he took my hand and drew his head closer trying to kiss me"

"Let go of me Ryan" I yelled trying to free my self from his grip but it was too thight. "let go" I screamed in pains then stepped on his foot and pushed him backward.

"Ahhh" he shrieked in pains and lost balance falling backward but since he was holding onto me I was pulled along and we both landed on the floor. I was ontop of him, he stared at me I stared too and just immediately the door swung open.

"Detention is...." Mr Ricks stopped his statement shocked at the position he saw us.

I stood up quickly and dashed out of the class in a hurry.

ESTON'S POV

I was in the locker room changing to my gym wear when I suddenly heard a slow and suspicious movement behind me.

"I looked around and there stood Natasha licking and biting her lower lips with her eyes roaming through my bare chest.

"What do you want?" I turned around putting on my shirt.

"Eston" she called and came from behind rubbing my back.

"Natasha get out" I turned around and pushed her away.

"Why?" she said softly "You guys no longer want me huh?" "since that girl Janelle came in you guys now treat me like a gabbage"

"Natasha you can leave now you can see am busy" I said putting my stuff in my gym bag without sparing her a glance.

"You see? When it comes to me you suddenly become busy, I always get what I want am always the queen but since that Janelle came in you guys no longer notice me, especially you Eston, you know I love you so much please..." she pleaded.

I just hate this girl, even hearing her voice annoys me, she thinks she can fool me like she did to Ryan, no...am not stupid.

"Eston please love me too" she pleaded again.

"Look Natasha just go away if you have nothing better to say" I told her walking away.

"Ok maybe I dont" she blocked my exit "but I have something better to show you" she dipped her hands into her pocket and brought out a small phone.

"This is the princess you choose over me" she stretched the phone to me.

As I glared at the screen pain sliced through me like a million times knife.

Ryan and Janelle.

DEAR CRUSH 

Season 1

Episode 14

I ran to my room, picked up my phone and dialled Ivy's number. she picked at the third ring.

"Hey Ivy" I yelled all excited.

"Dont hey me bad friend" she feigned annoyance.

"Come on Ivy am sorry about last night, I felt so pissed up thats why i left"

"And you are just calling me now"

"Look Ivy am sorry, I promise i wont do it again"

"Promise?"

"Yea girly promise"

"Fine, so how far hope you are coming to the party tonight? Rememeber its val" she sounded so excited.

"Yea so I want you to get your cute ass down here and make me hot" i chuckled. I could hear here loud laughter from the other end.

"Alright girly am coming to make you look hot"

"Good so get your stuff here we are using your ride"

"I'll be there, bye girly" she said and ended the call.

"Get up Janelle" Someone tap my shoulder roughly. 

"oh God" I murmured rubbing my eyes.

"Get up now" I felt the tap sharp this time, i let my eyes open and there was my mum.

"come on mum"

"Your friend is waiting downstairs" she said.

"Oh thats Ivy, I'll be down soon mum"

"Am going out with your dad and we wont be back till night so take good care of the house" she said and left.

"get in here Ivy" I shouted and the door swung open, Ivy got in dressed in blue jean and yellow top and carrying her bag that seem heavy, I hugged her and collected the bag putting it on the couch.

"water" she ordered and lay flat on the bed, I ran downstairs at once and came back with a glass of water, she gulp them down in a hurry and fell back to the bed.

"You look tired girly" I sat beside her.

"Yea but forget about been tired, go get a shower we cant be late for the party.

I told Ivy about the kiss with Ryan and all she did was reminding that he's not but a player and warned me to be careful especially with the galaxy girls and the REDS.

Ivy and I dressed in red flora gown with white heels and our hair was both pulled up in a fine pony tail make us look like twins and ofcourse beautiful once.

"Make sure you get a date tonight" Ivy stood infront of the full length mirrow applying more red lip gloss on her lips. And my mind immediately flew to Ryan since the kiss i havent been able to purge him out of my memory. Why me?.

"Ivy" i called slowly.

"Ehhh" she replied still facing the mirrow.

"don you think Ryan will ask me out?"

"Oh God am tired of this Ryan's talk ok, but babe dont just get your hopes to high" she faced the mirrow again smilling. 

"Thats enough Ivy you are taking too much time to dress up"

"Chill I told you am getting a date tonight so make sure you get one too" she said chuckling.

The party was held in school and it was a huge blast, everywhere looked beautiful painted in red and white, with red banner that read "ITS VAL" boldy written in white, music sounded loudly from the two huge speakers that stood close to the DJ who has this rough hair like an ex gang, he was dancing with an ear phone plunged to his ear, I couldnt help but laugh at his funny dance steps.

"You made it" I heard that voice i always recognize, I turn around and ofcourse it was Ryan dressed in a black suit and blue bow tied with white glittering shoes. He's cute.

"Yea" I smilled.

"Have fun then" he pat my shoulder and left.

"Would you like to play another game tonight?" Eston came from behind me smirking dressed exactly like Ryan, I rolled my eyes and ignored his comment. I hate this guy and i hate the fact that he's handsome.

"comeon" Ivy pulled me along with her, we took our seat infront of the wide hall with a large spaced stage.

"Find a date Janelle" Ivy whispered.

"What?"

"I just found my date ok" I'll be back she said walking away. this girl is something else.

"Attention everyone" A beautiful girl shouted from the stage dressed in a short red gown that came down to her knees.

"Its Val" the boy beside her dressed in suit continued. "Val is a day to show love, A day to repair broken love, and also a day to carry the flag of Happy Ever After all round the world" he announced. Everyone clapped and cheered and for a while i thought if Ryan and I would carry the flag of Happy Ever After someday.

"so our first step for this program is finding love" the guy continued "Men on suit step up" he added and about twenty guys went up to the stage all dressed in suit including Ryan, Eston, Declan and Stiles. They all look charming.

"Go to the crowd, pick a girl of your choice, dance with her and she is all yours and after that you go ahead and carry the flag of Happy Ever After"

My heart raced hearing that, am i scared? No, no i shouldnt.

Many guys came down to the stage picking the girl of their choice, the girls would scream in delight some frowned but most of them were happy and the crowd couldnt stop chearing.

Ryan was first among the REDS to step down from the crowd and my heart skipped and raced when i saw him walking towards my direction. Is my wish finally coming true?

Tbc

The party was still on and heating but Ivy and I felt bored so we stood in a corner drinking our wine and chating.

"Hey we are going to play spun the cone game would you girls like to join us?" a group of girls ran to Ivy and I. 

Ivy nodded but me? Nop. Spun the cone game where someone throws a plastic cone and once it lands on you you get kissed? Ahh nop i dont wanna kiss a stranger.

"Come on Janelle lets go for the game" Ivy told me.

"What? No am not interested.

"Come on you are so boring" She dragged me along, I sigh and followed her to where the game was being held.

We all sat beside different people forming a circle and i was inbetween two boys since the order is boy girl boy girl.

We were about starting when we heard voices from behind "can we tag along?" all eyes flew to the direction of the voice only to see the REDS stading a mile away.

"yea come on" 

"Join us please"

"we still need more players" were the reply coming from different directions.

"And what about us" Natasha and her friends came from behind.

Wao do I still call this a game? Or maybe war.

Stiles spun the bottle and it landed and a slim girl she was smilling widely as Stiles lean closer and peck her lips, she smilled widely again touching her lips.

It was Ryan's turn he spun the cone and it immediately landed on Natasha, she smilled widely and it broke my heart as he lean over and placed his lips on Natasha's, she held his neck and they kept kissing forgetting there were in public.

"Get a room you two" everyone bursted out laughing except me, Ryan moved away from Natasha and ran his hands through his hair chuckling and licking his lips. I turned to Natasha she gave and evil smile and a look that says "He kissed me so well" I felt like slapping her ugly face.

I look around the circle to see who is playing next and my eyes landed on Eston, he spun the cone and it immediataly landed on Declan.

"No way" he gave his friend a disgusted look, everyone bursted out laughing.

"I'll play again" he said and spun the cone it slowed down and landed on me.

My eyes widen, what? No way.. No way..he's not going to kiss me right? After all he hates me, he wont kiss me right?

Million thought flooded into my head, my heart raced as Eston crossed over the circle crawling to me and in a second he crashed his lips against mine.

He kissed me.

The kiss scent tiny chills as Eston move his lips on mine slowly tasting of beer but it was smooth and slow.

Just then my senses that once flew out of the window came back driving into my dull head that was when i regain myself and pushed him away.

"What...what are you doing? I stuttered and touched my hot lips they seem different.

Everyone was silent except for Eston who was laughing and licking his lips "Just tell me you want more, and stop the pretence" he smirk and pain immediately slice through me like a million times knife and i couldnt take it anymore.

I dragged my weak self of and jump across the circle running away from everyone.

"Janelle" I heard Ivy called after me as Eston kept chuckling.

I rushed out to the pool and sat down with my feet inside the fresh water. The place was calm and i felt relieve been away from everyone, the noise, the music and clashing of beer bottle.

I hugged my body and gaze up at the sky, it was bright, the moon was full and the uncountable starts twinkled all over the sky. It was then I let the tears flow trickling down my cheeks and dropping into the pool.

Why Eston? The one i hate, my first kiss. What a waste why would he say such thing to me? It made look so cheap and it hurt. I let more tears out. Maybe if i had a sibling or a parent who always look out for me. I might be more reasonable and never alone.

I remain at the pool feeling the freshness of the night and heard footsteps erupting behind me, I look away from the sky and turn my head to see two boys walking towards me, they were dressed all black and look so fearful. i stood up quickly trying to move away from them when one of them grab my shoulder forcefully.

"where to?" he grinned like the devil. I froze.

"What.. What do you want?" I stammered.

"shhh" the other guy shot his finger to his lips indicating me to shut up. My heart raced like there were going to jump out of my chest. "Oh God save me, Ivy might be looking for me God please direct here here to save me" I prayed silently.

One of the boys pushed me to himself and at the process of struggling to get away from him we both landed on the floor, and he was ontop of me.

"Get way from me" I yelled pushing him.

"whatever am done" he stood up dusting his trouser and they both walk away laughing.

What was that? He's done? Done with what? I wondered and quickly ran off in a hurry, happy there didnt go further.

I left the party without telling anyone, i just couldnt spare a chance to do that after all i experienced tonight.

I curled up on my bed and fell into a deep slumber.

I stretched and yawned lazily as the rays of the morning sun hit my sleepy face. My head ached badly and i felt so hot, I bent over to the side of my bed and took peels before rushing downstairs.

I took a glass of water from the kitchen and swallowed the pills, i felt so uneasy but i thank God it was saturday so atleast i have weekend to rest.

I drank alot of water before climbing the stairs up to my room.

"Are you ok?" my dads voice stopped me half the stairs.

"Yea" i nodded slightly.

"Where were you last night?" he dropped the newspaper he was reading on the couch beside him giving me full attention.

"Party dad" I replied.

"Party?" he raised an eyebrow at me and just then the door bell rang.

"I'll get it" i said and walk to the door. 

My mouth flew open when i saw him standing at my door step, dressed in a white shirt and blue jean with a white face cap that suit him so much.

Yes its Ryan.

"Wont you let me?" his voice brought me out of my reverie.

"Why are you here Ryan?" I asked, he raised an eyebrow at me and motion for me to let him in.

I sigh and step out of the way "come in"

"Who is that Janelle?" my mum's voice sounded from the kitchen.

"Its a friend from school mum" i shut the door as she step out of the kitchen followed by dad.

"Good day sir, good day ma" Ryan greeted humbly.

"Welcome cute one you came at the right time, join us for breakfast" my mum smilled at Ryan.

"Yea have a sit" dad added.

"Thanks sir, ma" Ryan drew out a sit quickly like he has never heard of food before he cant even say no thanks.

"I'll be back" i head upstairs to my room, brushed my teeth and took a quick shower.

After bathing i wore a jumpersuit and dried my hair before rushing down.

Breakfast were toasted bread with scrambled egg and tea, i was proud of mum it tastes good.

I ate in silence as my mum and dad kept talking and throwing questions at Ryan who seem to be enjoying himself.

I look at the way he ate comfortably and couldnt stop smilling. He took a glass of water and gulp them down at once, I watch the ripples in his throat as the water went down and i wish i were the water going into him to be with him, I cant believe am been jealous of water because of Ryan, his eyes caught mine and i quickly look away, he chuckled and nodded then focus on his food.

Mum and dad finish eating and left the both of us in the dinning, i was so nervous that i didnt say a word i just fix my eyes on my plate. 

Silence stretched for a while before he finally spoke up "are you ready to learn?" he asked.

"Huh what?" i asked confused.

"I promised to tutor you in math right?"

"Oh yea, is that why you are here?"

"What else would make me visit a psycho?" he blurted out. I didnt say a word i just took the dishes to the kitchen and washed them before heading to my room while he followed behind.

"You have a nice room" his eyes roamed about.

"Thanks" i muttered searching for my math textbook.

"Why did you leave last night?" he asked.

"I felt tired"

"And you never bothered to pick any of my calls" he lay on my bed with his hands curled up above his head.

"Huh you called?" i asked puzzled not expecting an answer, I rushed to my bed and took my phone from other my pillow, I had eight missed call in total, six from Ivy and eight from an unknown number. "How did you get my number?" i faced him.

"Ivy" he replied bringing out his book from his bag.

"Ryan i never knew you would still push through with teaching me, why are you actually helping me?"

"because you are my friend, friends help each other out" a smile filtered across his face. My face smilled but my heart frowned maybe i was expecting something than that. Too bad.

We learnt for about an hour and throughout i was admiring all of him, his scent, his smile and the way he gives his explanation.

"Thank you Ryan" i said when the lesson came to an end. He looked at me and smilled.

"Last night" he walk towards me "what happened to you and Eston?" he asked.

"Oh that?" I blushed. "Its just a game" i said "and you and Natasha?" i raised an eyebrow at him. "looks like it wasnt a game at all"

"Oh its all a game" he nudge his shoulder.  

"Yea" I smilled.

We stood staring at each other for a while when i suddenly felt him closer, he raised my jaw with his finger and before I knew it. 

He kissed me.

My stomach erupted into butterfly, my body frozen except for my lips I kiss him back, this isnt right i know it but i kept enjoying the moment.

I pulled away before the kiss would lead to something else, we stared at each other and his eyes read thick lust.

"Ehhh Happy val" he broke the silence. Oh my God i totally forgot its val.

"Ahh i dont even know how to reply that" 

"Hahaha" he laughed. "see you at the party tonight, hope you'll come?" he asked.

I dont want to but i should tonight might be the time he'll ask me out maybe thats why he kissed me.

"Yea" I replied

"see you at the party then" he said and left

His brown jet hair curled up out of his face, he was wearing a white jacket thrown over a blue shirt and pait of jean trousers, his feet were tucked in a white coverse without a slight stain and his strawberry cologne filled my nostrils.

"Welcome Ryan" Ivy came from behind, we have been staring at each other too stun to notice, thank God i was not the only one staring, he stared at me too surprisely, seeing me this way would actually make someone surprise.

"Are you coming too?" Ryan turned to Ivy.

"yea, i'll join you guys there" she replied and left.

Ryan and I walked to the car without saying a word, i sat infront with him watching him as he insert his key into the ignition hole causing the engine to jerk to action and in a second we were on the highway.

It was quiet inside the car except for the sound that pulsated from his radio, i kept stealing glances at his handsome face that was focused on the road,. This guy is driving me crazy. I closed my eyes imagining what life would look like with Ryan by my side when suddely a music i recognised started playing from the speaker. "Trouble is a friend" by Lenka, I chuckled and started singing along...

Trouble it will find you no matter where you go oh oh.

No matter if you're fast, no matter if you'll slow oh oh.

The eyes of the sun and the cry of the moon oh oh.

"You're fine for a while but you start to loose control oh oh oh oh

*

He's there in the dark, he's there in my heart.

He wakes in the wind, yea he's got to play a part.

Trouble is a friend, yea trouble is a friend of mine ah ah 

I kept singing with a smile, nodding my head and snapping my fingers, Ryan would look at me ans smile before facing back on the road. To say i was happy is an understatement. A ride with Ryan, A party with the angel of my life, A smile from dear crush... Why wont i be happy?

RYAN's pov

She sings like an angel....

*

*

Not long we were at the party, we drove into a big building and immediately we stepped out of the car all attention flew to us but i caredless i was so busy checking out the building.

The house was huge, a palm tree stood at the front yard, and purple hibiscus plant lean on the wall with other beautiful flowers.

Music that pulsated from the speaker was so loud that i thought my ear drum was going to explode. Everyone was dressed fine in expensive designs, some sipped from their cup, some were chanting and otheres were at the dance floor dancing to James Arthur's music.

The house is indeed a magnificent one and the party is wide . Money is really speaking.

I saw Eston, Declan and Stiles walk over to Ryan and I, there were astonished seeing me at the party and most especially with Ryan.

I glared at Eston and expected him to smirk at me but he didnt, his eyes and mouth were wide open staring at me forgetting the drink he held. I couldnt help but shudder at the way he eyed my body. He was totally checking me out. hahahha Thank you Ivy.

"Why is she here?" Declan asked Ryan.

"I brought her here to have fun" Ryan replied.

"You are now friends huh?" Stiles asked.

"Its really not a bad idea" Ryan added and tap the absent minded Eston.

"oh yea" Eston shook.

"He's carried away" Stiles chuckled.

"me too, she is actually very beautiful tonight" Declan said. "You look elegant Janelle" he added. I forced out a smile and mutterd a thank you.

"come on lets go greet our guest, before Eston eye rape her" Stiles nudged Eston, the guys laughed and dragged Eston away ruffling his hair.

Gosh...Ivy needs to get here already I cant handle it alone with this guys, i might probably pee on my pant if she dont hurry up.

ESTON's POV

She is beautiful.

Ryan later came to me were i was sitting and handed me a drink.

"No thanks" I looked away.

"Take it, its not alcohol ok" he urged, I took it from him perceiving it, its red wine actually. "Thanks" i took a sip looking away nervously.

"So what do you wanna do for fun?" He asked buring his both hands into his pocket.

"Hmm, what do you think?" I nudge my shoulders.

"i never knew you could sing too well" He bent towards me increasing my tension, this guy actually dont know what he's doing to me.

"Thanks" I smilled, feeling happy he likes something about me.

"Can you sing Ed sheeran's shape of you?" he asked.

"Yea" i replied.

"Then sing with me, lets go up there and show them what we got" he suggested.

"Ahhh no no no" I rejected shakily.

"You are shy huh?" he raised an eyebrow at me.

"No am not"

"Then sing with me please..please" Ahhh Ryan saying please? Awesome atleast not rude tonight, I cant denial him this one, i have to show him the power of please.

"Alright yes" I nodded. His lips stretch out in a wide smile making him look damn cute.

He stood up and moved closer to me, his right hand stretched out, I nervously reach for him then he pulled me up. Just Ryan's hand on mine made my heart beat.

When we got to the stage, he stopped and faced the crowd "Watch out for what we have for you all tonight!.. Janelle and Ryan" he yelled with a smile, the crowd cheered and gave us all their attention. 

"Janelle" Ryan turned to me, hearing my name for the first time in his melodious voice made me tuant inside.

"Dance with me" he said bringing the microphone up to his lips smilling, The smile he was giving me was so delicious that i felt like grabbing him and kissing those adorable lips that produced such captivating smile.

I nodded with a forced out smile then he started.

*

The club isnt the best place to find love so the bar is where i go

Me and my friends at the table doing shot drinking fast and then and then we talk slow

Come over and start a coversation with just me

And trust me I'll give you a chance now

Take my hand, stop, put the van and man on the jukebox

And then we start to dance and now I'll sing like

Girl you know i want your love 

Your love was handmade for somebody like me

come in now follow my lead

I may be crazy but dont mind me

say, boy lets not talk too much

Grab on my waist and put that body on me

come on now, follow my lead

come, comeon now, follow my lead.

*

His voice almost made me slip to the floor as he sang the first part, and it made me wonder how just one person could be this perfect.

I dont know why he choose this song, i dont even know why he's doing all of this, it made me so scared but i covered it up with what i feel for him.

We started singing chorus with his arms wrapped around my waist, and my hands placed on his shoulder, His green piercing eyes where on mine and instead of being nervous I was super confidence, that all my fears and anxiety flew out of the window as I swayed my waist slowly to the beat of the song.

*

I'll inlove with the shape of you

We push and pull like the magnet do

Althought my heart is falling too

Am inlove with your body

And last night you were in my room

Now my bedsheet smell like you.

Everyday discovering something brand new

I'm in love with your body.

Oh--I--oh--I--oh--oh--I

I'm in love with your body.

Why is this guy this way?

His voice were smooth as velvet and so addicting. His green piercing eyes are so captivating that i felt like sinking into them.

He looked like the sky.

Smiles like an angel and glowes like the stars.

Oh God! Why is he so perfect? How can someone be this perfect?

Isnt this partial? Is that why I cant let go? This is not right, whatever it is, its not just right.

Dear Crush please stop doing this to me, if I fall inlove I dont know if you'll the there to catch me.

After the song Ivy came to me singing songs of praises of how wonderful i sang and danced, And then she asked that one question i was always scared to answer.

"You like him dont you?" She asked with a serious face.

"Forget it Ivy tonight is for fun and not for interview" I sipped from my wine cup trying to hide my fear.

"I know you like him, just admit it ok, its just do obvious, admit it Janelle" she insisted.

"I guess I do" I blushed.

"I know you do" she wrapped her arms around my shoulder "Janelle you are a dear friend thats why i always look out for you, I just want you to be careful with that guy, he has slept with so many girls than an acountant can count, and yet he just dumped them after use and scream next please....." she said with a concern tone I covered my mouth to stop myself from laughing.. "and i dont want my friend to be in such category" she added.

"Thank you Ivy, I promise to be careful" I told her.

"Cool and if he dare hurt you, just call me and I'll be there quicker than the flash" she smilled. I laughed.

"Thanks girly" I hugged her.

Am scared she is actually right, I want to hate him but my heart keeps saying no. Dear heart please dont get involved, just pump blood. I dont want to get hurt, I dont want to be used and dumped.

Dear crush whatever charms you use on me am fighting against it.

Tears slide down my eyes as i held the paper staring at my poor grade. I failed again not that i didnt study, I did but couldnt not understand a bit of it and now i have been given another detention in addition to that of yesterday that means i had to stay in school for so long.

I walk towards the detention hall squeezing the paper and crying as more tears blured my eyes.

I didnt look were i was going untill i bump into a large chest, strong arms wrap around my waist and i heard that rasp sexy voice 

"Watch out psycho"

I smilled. Dear Crush, you again?

"why are you crying?" he asked and for the first time i saw his eyes narrowing in concern.

"Hey" he waved his hand on my face. I shook, i cant believe i have been admiring him instead of replying.

He smilled and collected the paper "poor grade?" his eyebrow furrowed.

"yea" I nodded, he collected the second paper "dentention huh?"

I nodded again.

"Lets go" he grabbed my wrist and i felt like all the breath in my body just left. God! Ryan is holding me.

"ehhh where are we going?" i stuttered.

He stopped and stared at me with a small smile "I'll join you in the dentention"

"what? no no" i tried stopping him but he kept dragging me to the dentention class without saying a word.

He opened the detention hall and dragged me in bouncing it behind us, i became scared how can i stay here with Ryan alone? And why on earth did he start becoming nice to me? I really cant tell.

"I'll tutor you in math" his voice brought me out of my reverie.

"oh no Ryan you dont have too" i said nervously.

"why?" he asked and pulled out a chair sitting beside me, I froze immediately, infant i choked. Ryan sitting with me, gosh i like it and could perceive his lovely scent from the combination of soap and his strawberry perfume.

Ahhh this guy is taking my breath away, Dear Crush please dont! I dont wanna die.

"Hey i asked why" he brought me out of dreamland with a tap on my shoulder.

"Ehh" I adjusted on my seat nervously "i dont have money to pay you thats why?"

"hmmm" he chuckled looking away. Ahhh Ryan are you giving up? Please insist i really want you to tutor me.

"Here" brought out a card from his pocket and handed it to me "Am throwing a party hope you'll come?"

Hah this guy is full of surprises lately only God knows his intention. "Thanks, I'll think about it" i took the card with shivering hands just then the door swung open revealing mr Green, i never even noticed i spent so much time with Ryan.

"Ahhh am sorry your dentention is over? He stammered and with the look on his face he was surprised, wondering what Ryan was doing with me.

Ryan didnt say a word he just stood up and left without sparing me a glance, I rushed out of the dentention looking around for Ryan but he was out of sight. Maybe he dissappered since he's an angel of my life, but why would he leave without me?

I walked home thinking of how to attend Ryan's party, i dont even know if i have nice cloth or shoes and how do I even get a ride there?

This is were i need Ivy, she has to wake me up from this dream.

I got to school the following morning to see the school heating up, its all about Ryan's party and everyone was sharing fliers jubilating and rejoicing.

"Ivy" i yelled her name and ran up to catch up with her.

"Whatsupp girly" she drapped her arms around my shoulder.

"guess what?" i smilled.

"spit it out gal, you know am not good at guessing" she said.

"well Ryan invited me personally to his party yesterday"

"what?" she stopped walking and faced me. " are you kidding me? when did you two start getting close?" she asked surprised.

"you'll find out" i held her wrist dragging her to the class.

"Tell me Janelle now" she kept yelling.

I hummed a song as i walk to the girls room when suddely a hand pulled me into an empty class.

"psycho" Ryan called and spun me around. He was smilling. God that smilling is killing me and he look so cute in this white shirt that hugged his body revealing his strong arms and a blue plain three quater. His brown hair was messy like he just rolled out of the bed. Could this guy be anymore amazing?

"Done checking me out?" he raised an eyebrow.

"Ahh" i blushed.

"Have you decided to attend my party?" he asked.

"Yea" I nodded.

"I'll pick you up then" he said walking away.

"hey do you know were i live?" i asked after him.

"I'll pick you up" he repeated, gosh this guy is going nut huh "ok then" i muttered and turn around only to be blocked by those three slut.

"What was that about?" Natasha asked

"what was what about?" i tried to walk away.

"Not so fast" Lilian pushed me back holding my hand "let go" i yank my hand off hers.

"You'll regret it if you attend that party" Natasha glared at me with so much hatred, what did i ever do to her?

"You got that right?" Amelia eyed me, i couldnt say a word i just stared then they left.

Epidose 9

Ivy came over to our house to prepare me for the party, she wouldnt stop ranting about me been old fashioned and that i might get to the party without getting noticed. Who wants to get noticed anyways? Especially with the threat i got from that so called galaxy girls, i didnt even tell Ivy about it i'll handle them myself.

"So how will you dress me for the party?" i asked as we sat on the couch eating hot pan cakes and chips, thank God my parent are not even home before they start their fight in the presence of Ivy.

"According to what you have in your wardrobe" she said with a mouth full.

"Am getting scared Ivy, do you think i'll look presentable?" i stoped chewing feeling nervous.

"Relax girly, dont you trust me? I promise to make you look hot that when Ryan sees you he'll forget about been rude" she drank from a glass of juice. I chuckled.

"Ohhh Ivy I cant bear sitting in the car alone with Ryan, maybe you should join us" i made a sad face.

"nope" she dragged me up, I guess she was tired of my complains. She dragged me upstairs to my room and told me to go take a shower so she could make me look hot.

I was bathing while Ivy picked out my outfit for the party, I got out with a white towel wrapped around my body to see Ivy sitting on the bed with folded hands and my cloth beside her. 

"Time to make you look hot that people we gasp for breath and ask who is this?" she chuckled, i couldnt help but laugh.

"Go and, get dressed" she threw the cloth to me, i took them and went back to the bathroom.

I stepped out of the bathroom dressed in a black gown with lace hands, it has a turtled neck and big button on the chest. The gown clung to my body all the way down to my knees, it actually has the perfect length.

My feet was a pair of shining gold heels with thick ankle lace.

I never knew i could be this amazing, Ivy actually knows hot to make me look human. She turned to me and clasp her hand "perfect" she said turning me around "if only i have the perfect shape just like you" she teased.

"Go away Ivy" i hit her arm.

"Come on" she chuckled and pulled me infront of the large mirrow and started doing my makeup.

Ivy kept working on my face and applying some stuff i have never seen or heard of all in the name of making me look hot.

When she was done with my face she moved to styling my hair.

"Perfect go ahead and see what you look like now" she dragged me up.

I glared at the mirrow and gasp is this me? If not that i could feel myself i would actually doubt i was the one standing infront of this mirrow, Because the person looked more beautiful, more adored and more confident unlike the old Janelle. 

My hair was styled in a bun, a silver clip designed it, my face was bright, my lashes were full and thick, and on my lips was pale pink lipstick almost matching with my manicured nails. I turned to the full lenght mirrow again and smilled. I look elegant i confess.

"Aww Ivy you are so sweet" I hugged her "I look beautiful indeed thanks"

"Welcome girly, so now when i say Janelle is beautiful beleve me" she chuckled dipping her hands into her jean pocket "lets take a selfie" she brought out her phone and i reluctantly pose for few pictures, she was asking for more but i reminded her she has to go home and get ready before driving to the party.

The sound of the door bell stopped our arguement "Ryan is here go get the door" Ivy told me.

I grabbed my small pink purse with my cell phone and other stuff before stepping out of the room shivering.

When i got downstairs i held the door knob and pulled the door open shakily and my eyes instantly flew open like there were going to roll out of my socket, even my mouth was open but i was too stun to notice because of this guy standing at my door step. Ryan Castro looking so breath taking and hot. 

Gosh....Is this guy a model?
