chapter one
900 Words
Finally my day is over,am very tired and I have a headache. Am the one cooking supper today for my best friend and I. I live in my best friend's home since my parents abandoned me when I was 2 years old. Mr Lawrence Ryder and Mrs Georgia Ryder whom have been like my real parents have loved and taken care of me.
My name is Beryl May Griffin am 16 years old. My best friend is Cian Blair Ryder 17years old has spiky nut brown hair,electric blue eyes,salmon pink lips,tall,broad shoulders and has a killer smirk which makes me forget he is my best friend.
I never hide anything from him we literally share everything including our inner wears(kidding). Cian's parents left for a business conference,they own a multi-billioneer company.
Being alone with Cian was really fun the parents would be back after two weeks. I do a part time job at Albey's restaurant to earn my own income though its only Cian who knew.
"Cian would you mind helping me out please"
"No way,today you are in charge,so do the necessary please"
"I am tired,been busy the whole afternoon"
"How many times have I told you to stop working at that restaurant,our parents are already taking care of everything"
"No! No! No! I need not depend on them you never know what tomorrow might happen"
"Nothing bad will happen 'cmon stop having bad thoughts"
"Alright sorry. What do you want to eat today?"
"Pasta with chicken curry"
"Please help me out"
"No go ahead am hungry"
"Fine okay!"
"...do smile a bit or the food won't be sweet"
The moment I closed the kitchen door,a sweet aroma filled the room. Cian had already cooked food he only wanted to pass me off which he succeeded. Though am thankful he helped me out. When I turned to go tell him thank you,he is standing by the door,leaning his body on the door frame one of his hands brushing his hair off his face.
"Am grateful"
"Anytime"
"I know it's only that I was late and you couldn't stay on an empty stomach"
"Really now,you wanna say I did this only to help myself out?"
"Your words not mine,let me go shower"
"For Pete's sake I helped you out can't you see that?" Hurry up am giving you 5 mins"
"Oh please"
I took some painkillers and walked to my room upstairs. I took my time to prepare around 15 mins. I found Cian sitting at the coach just texting with a frown on his face. I served food and he ate in a hurry. I washed the utensils since I was feeling much better. We watched a movie and later on went to sleep.
The following day I woke up and prepared myself while Cian prepared breakfast,after am hour we were done with everything and ready to go to school. We boarded the black SUV 4×4. Cian was the one driving I turned on the stereo and we listened to hip hop songs. Cian knew how to rap and I knew how to sing we made a nice duet.
We arrived safely and parked at our usual spot. Cian and I never bragged of how rich we were and act as the cool kids around bossing everyone else. Though Mrs Georgia always insisted we wear to the latest and fashionable designer clothes which we always refused. Most students thought Cian and I are a couple but it turns out we are never meant to be.
The name of the school is Westmacott high. I never had friends only Cian since after my lessons were over I went to work and am antisocial. For Cian he was social and he fitted to be in the soccer team but he always turned down the offer of joining,reasons only known to him.
I have this big crush on the school captain Kieran Venn Watson,he is my dream guy.He has cute dimples,has ear piercing and one on the left eye brow,has 8 packs and lots of tattoos,amazingly pink lips,tall,light skinned,has afro hair,ice-blue eyes,deep and booming voice. Why does this always happen the unpopular girl crushing on the school captain yet its hard for him to even notice since he has all the cheap sluts around him. I wish he was mine.
I see him approach us with his team.
"Hallo Ryder and... wait what's your name again?"
"Beryl May..." I answered.
"Hallo too Watson" Cian answered.
"Ooh hallo May"
"Hallo" I replied.
"So Ryder did you change your mind?"
"About?"
"'cmon do I have to repeat myself again?"
"Ooh sorry,its still a no am not really interested"
"Why and the slot is still open"
"I don't feel like joining the team"
"Or is it this gf of yours refusing you to join?"
"She is not my gf,she is my best friend"
"Yes we are best friends"
"Who said you are allowed to talk but that's weird you come in the same car,share similar lessons, don't do much interaction I bet you live in the same place too"
"Excuse me with all due respect don't talk to May like that in my presence. Just mind your own business okay!"
