《Please Don't Touch》 1. Paper Thin 1. Paper Thin Scrolling nonchntly down my Facebook feed, I yawnzily. I was about to close up when I noticed so mething that looked very familiar. My picture. Panic settled into my heart as I stare at the teenager before me. My whole body gets hot and before I k now tears spring to my eyes as I read the disgustingments. The ount was fake but the only person I sent it to was my boyfriend. I shut theptop hard before sprinting up and pacing the room. Belonging to N?velDrama.Org. This cannot be happening. Not to me! Why me! Breathing heavily I call my boyfriend well, ex-boyfriend Grayson. "Hey, ba-" "Don''t you dare hey babe me!" I whisper yelled. "I trusted you, Grayson. You don''t know how much courage it took for me to send that picture and then you just post it like its nothing!" I was sobbing and the other end was frantic. "I didn''t post the picture! I- I sent it to some of the guys and I guess one of them-" Did he send it to some of the guys? "What am I to you, Grayson! A little prostitute you think you can just send her pictures to everyone. I''m your girlfriend! You''r e the only one that should be seeing such things. "Did she find out?" A voice sniggers from behind and I feel my head vibrate with pain, ready tosh out a "You stupid little boy! Its immature people like you who ruin lives! Have you never seen a girl in her underwear before you just had to post it, Theodore? You''re disgusting, a pig, no wonder everyone just likes you because of your money. Pathetic But in reality, I ruined my own life by sending that picture. And for the next three years, I had to live with the constant shame and reminder as the students and teachers refused to let it go, my family disowned me so I lived with my aunt and I dumped Grayson as fast as I could. 4 yearster I moved away for college, studying a little bit ofw and sociology. What I didn''t expect... Was for a certain someone toe and change my life. For better... Or for worse. 2. All This Drama And School Hasnt Started Yet. 2. All This Drama And School Hasn''t Started Yet. Quensi''s POV Pulling thest of my heavy boxes into the dorm, I dust off my hands and smile at my progress but it soon falls as I realize that I have to unpack. Grunting, I lock my car and walk upstairs. Dorm 22. Turning the knob I freeze at the sight before me. A male. In a ck hoodie, with ck pants and ck shoes. Burr! I thought this school was secured! Grabbing the nearest thing which was a pencil, I warily walk towards the criminal. It was rummaging through one of my boxes. Perv! Swiftly I use the pencils strength and m it down on his back. He freezes while I''m left here wondering why the pencil didn''t pierce through him like in Fairy God Parents. He slowly stands his full height which was about 6''1 and I was barely even reaching mid-back. Barely. But I''m kinda there. He turns around and raises an eyebrow at me before both eyebrows raise. "Si?" "Theodore?" This boy ought to get a pencil in his eye Timmy Turner''s style. "What''re you doing here?" I ask him holding the pencil up defensively and he raises an eyebrow again. "Do you really think that penc-" "I asked you a question!" "Ohkay jeez. I''m going to school here. I wanna be awyer." "Ew," I mutter at him before putting the pencil down. "So why are you in my dorm." He grins. "We, my dear friend. Are roommates!" "Oh, lord! No. Nooo. Why why why? Why did I have to be trapped with this goat." I yell dramatically and he flips my nose. "No friend." I snap. "Don''t touch me." "Sorry." He mutters when he notices the change of mood. "I''m gonna see if there are any other rooms avable." "There aren''t. You''ll have to use an apartment out of campus. Good luck with paying those every month for the next three years." He scoffs and I almost cry. "I don''t like you," I tell him immediately while crossing my arms. "Because of the past? Newssh Quensi: it''s the past." "Uh. Okay?!" I retort. "Do you know how long the paststs? Three years. For the past three years, I have been ridiculed, disowned, called disgusting names all because of your childish acts. So don''t tell me what the fudge it is. I know its the past and I''m oh so sorry that the past still swims in my head!" I yell at him and he gives me a look of pure guilt. Huffing, I turn on my heel and was about to walk about when he spoke up. "I''m sorry." "Yeah well, sorry can''t fix anything right now can it," I tell him before mming the door behind me and leaving. # When I came back, before entering the dorm there was this loud sting of music and cheers. Is this boy seriously throwing a party? Throwing open the door, the sight before me has me shook. My boxes destroyed. People stomping all over my clothes as the walk drunkenly everywhere with the smell of booze assaulting my nose. Seeing red, I search for Theodore and find him in a heated session with some green-haired girl and I tap her shoulder. "Wait till your turn." She sneers and I raise an eyebrow. "Cmon, you''re worth more than that, don''t have men treating you like this." She looks at me with shock and she steps away all of a sudden shy before quickly walking out. "What the h-" "No Theodore. You have no idea how much I want to ram my fist into your face. But I am a happy, changed adolescent so I am going to ask you nicely to get those people the fudge put of my house and to get my clothes off of the ground and into the wash." Belongs to N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. "It''s hard to take you seriously when you say fudg-" "NOW!" I scream over the music and his eyes widen. He goes over shaking his head before turning down the music. "Alright, guys party''s over." All I hear is fading awes as I notice something familiarying on the ground broken. A tiny piece of my locket that my dad gave to me sat apart as the others were thrown apart. I barely have time for tears to drip as my body racks with sobs unexpectedly as I run toward it, kneeling. Pushing a lock between my ears, I hastily pick up the pieces, walking to the bathroom. He was the only one who wanted me to stay. Who forgave me. Who offered me help. I can never see him again because he died recently but hey, why not just break the only thing I have of him, universe. The picture inside was slightly dirty, nothing too bad. This was only my first day and this is how it turns out. Great. Of course, everywhere I go trouble follows me. Story of my life. Theodore''s POV I watch as Si runs to the bathroom with tears after she picks something up. "Everybody get out!" I yell louder after their protests and they scramble at my voice. Quensi was right. Her clothes were everywhere, thrown about, some destroyed. I feel terrible. I should''ve set them apart before starting my wee to a college party. Walking towards the bathroom I step on a small piece of silver. I pick it up and it seems to be part of a heart, a locket maybe. "Quensi?" I murmur and she sniffs. "Leave me alone." "I have something for you," I tell her ying with the tiny piece in my hand. "Shut up. I don''t want it. I''m transferring to a new school." She says stubbornly. And I smile at her cuteness. "Well, I would help you if you wanted me to." "Theodore. We are not friends. Please just leave me alone." She grunts and my smile drops. "But we could be...." "Nah, not after what you did." I sigh and sit on the floor. All this drama on the day I arrive. "I said I was sorry." "And I said it didn''t bother me. Did that help?" "I''ll make you forgive me." This time she didn''t answer and I was left with silence. I am going to make this woman forgive me 3. New Friends And Jealous Old Ones 3. New Friends And Jealous Old Ones Quensi''s POV I''m really tired and everything hurts, let''s just say I woke up in the bathroom today. We had three extra days just to settle in and I was going to use \fully just to sleep. "Si. I really need to pee." Standing from the floor I open the door only to meet a naked wall. Walls aren''t naked... "Excuse me," I mutter blushing and he smirks before stepping aside. I roll my eyes and plop on my bed as he enters and closes the door. What am I doing today... I look around the room to find that my clothes were missing. What in the world. I go on a full rampage, checking under the beds, in the washing machine, in his shoes, in my shoes. They aren''t here anywhere. And my locket! Where is it?! Banging on the bathroom door I was furious."Theodore! Where is my stuff?" "I don''t know." He tells me and I step away from the door, clenching my fist and gritting my teeth. How am I going to survive? Sighing, I realized that there were some jeans and a T-shirt in the corner. What universe? No underwear. I swallowed my pride and clipped onto Theodore''s underwear drawer and yank it open hastily. I grab the smallest pair I could find and put it under my bed for when I''m done bathing. I''ll have to reuse the bra. He finallyes out, with his phone. Ew. "We''re going shopping today." He tells me and one of my eyebrows goes sky high. "Um excuse me." I begin. "I. Do. Not. Like. You. Get one of the willing college girls you had with you last night, I''m sure they will be d to apany you." I roll my eyes before grabbing my clothes and hiding the underwear in between them. Before I make it to the bathroom he grabs my arm and pulls it back to him. "Watch who you''re talking to Quensi." I yank my hand out of his grip and re. "Don''t tell me what to do. I will talk to you however I want to." Turning on my heel, I get in and m the door. He thinks he can just have me like how he has the other co- ----- "I can''t believe you kidnapped me!" I yell for like the fifth time while sitting in his very awesome car. "Will you stop yelling! If you can''t see, the ss is up!" He yells back. "But you''re yelling too!" I scream and he deadpans. "I will tape your mouth." "Where are you gonna get tape buddy?" "In the glovepartment. Duh." I zip my mouth and sit back. Who knew that right after I was done bathing he would throw me over his shoulder for everyone to see and drag me to the mall. "We''re here!" He chirps and I roll my eyes stepping out and mming the car door. I walked five steps ahead of him, well I tried, but I was still at a distance and he kept ncing over at me and frowning. "In here." He points to a fancy looking store and I furrow my eyebrows at him. "Do I look like a bank to you?" "I''m paying." "No," I say curtly, walking into a five-dor store. "Where did all my clothes go?" "They were ruined. I threw them out." "All of them?!" I nearly yell and he shrugged. "I left you some jeans and a shirt." Sorry for ming you universe. "And no underwear?" I say sarcastically and he blushes. "What? What is wrong with you?" "Nothing nothing, just never knew red was your color." Then he walked into the store. Red? # "I''m paying you back." "No, you''re not." Theodore leans back in his car seat. He looked utterly annoyed and I nearly jumped with glee. But he bought me a lot of clothes and I would be happy except I''m not, I don''t want to be owing him or anything. "Whatever. Let''s just go." As soon as we get back to the dorm, I climb out of the car and grab all sixty-seven bags. No, it''s not impossible. "Here let me help y-" "No thank you." I snap stepping away from him and he drops his hand looking discouraged. I huff before suffering up the stairs. I wait for him to open the door but he only stands behind me. "Well?" I was beyond irritated. My hands were killing me. "Oh. I thought you didn''t need help with that either." He says sarcastically while unlocking the door and I roll my eyes. Setting down the bags, I suck up my pride once again. "Thank you," I tell him. "You''re welc-" "But don''t ever do that again." I turn away from him, pulling all my boxes towards me, I begin to unpack. It was about four and Theodore just sat on the edge of his bed studying me. "How''s your family?" "Well. My mother and brother disowned me after your stunt and my father is dead." I tell him shrugging and I hear the sharp intake of breath. "I''m sorry..." "As you said many times before," I tell him pushing my empty boxes under the bed and deciding to unpack my clothes. "I really am. I just...I don''t know, I was young and-" "Dumb. Yea we''ve all heard that excuse." "Gosh give me a chance to talk! Stop interrupting me you don''t know how irritating that is! I don''t know if I want to spend more time here right now." Then he stands to grab his keys and walking out. mming the door. Good riddance. # I was sleeping soundly when the door peaked open, gazing at the time it was 6:30 and the sun was almost fully out. I watched as Theodore kicked off his shoes and jeans andy on his bed, not bothering to take off his shirt. "Where were you?" I ask him and I immediately regret it. "Out." He says curtly before falling asleep and I shrug not caring. I slip out of bed, yawning and wincing at my breath. I went into the bathroom and brushed my teeth taking a shower also. Pulling my brown hair into a simple ponytail, I change into a red polo with light skinny jeans and some red vans. I take up my spare key and stuff it into my pocket deciding to take a walk and go around the college scene and also pick up my schedule. ------ N?velDrama.Org owns all content. Reaching the office it was already 9:30. The people here were so kind and it''s huge. I got my schedule and sat on a bench outside going over it. Heaviness plops next to me and a shoulder bumps harshly into my head. "Ow.," I mutter rubbing it. I swear I''m too short. "Sorry! I''m sorry." A deep voice says frantically. "That was supposed to look cool." I look up to find a boy with light brown hair and blue eyes. He was cute. And tall. What is it with these trees. I gave him a small smile. "It''s okay. I''m all good." He eyes my head a little longer before settling for my face. "I''m Ocean." He says stretching out his hand and I grip it. Ocean. "I love your name." I grin. "I''m Quensi." "Wow. Would it be wrong if I say I thought of cheese when you said that?" Iugh and he grins. "Cheese? Really?" "Yup. So you''re new here?" "Yeah. You?" "Nah it''s my second miserable year." "Ahh, I''m sorry to hear that." I giggle and he smiles down at me. "You''re really pretty." He mutters and I blush, turning away. "You think so? I didn''t really put anything on my face this morning." "Even better." He nods. He had a positive vibe to him. I like it. "Hello there Si." Universe what is wrong with you?! "Hello. Theodore." I mutter and Ocean looks at me. "Nice of you to leave me in the dorm alone this morning." "You wanted to be alone," I tell him and I watch as his teeth grit with anger eyeing Ocean who was just staring at him nkly. "Should I leave?" Ocean asks me and I shake my head and the same time Theodore says ''Yes''. "You can''t tell-" "No its okay Quensi. I''ll go. He then grabs my phone which was on myp and puts in his number." "Call me." He winks before leaving casting Theodore one more nk look. "Gosh. Just leave me in peace for one!" I nearly yell and he rolls his eyes. "You were just sitting with some random dude, didn''t seem like you wanted peace back then." "You''re right." I smile. " I only wanted to get away from you." I stand furiously before stomping away. 4. Lies And Reminiscing 4. Lies And Reminiscing Quensi''s POV In the library, I go over some of the things I might be studying for history inw since that will most likely be my weakness. I haven''t seen Theodore for the whole day and I am proud to say that the universe may just be blessing my soul. I hear a familiarugh from another table and find Ocean chuckling about with a group of boys. I decided that I didn''t want him to see me so I quickly stand but end up throwing down the table, chair, books, my bag, I broke a flower vase and not to mention I had unbuttoned my pants earlier to free the cute belly pudge I had. It wasn''t huge, but it wasn''t exactly tiny either. It was just right. All eyes turn to me and I quickly button and zip up, blushing bright red. Even the librarian didn''t know what to say as I slowly bent to pick up my bag. I chuckled nervously as carefully step over the ss muttering an "oopsie" before running out. Once outside I startedughing really hard. For what? I don''t even know. I sat on the library entrance step as the students walk past and look at me like I''ve lost it. "You okay?" My head snaps around and I find Ocean. "Who me?" Of course you, you idiot! "Oh right. Yes. Yes, I am." "Okay." He smiles sitting next to him and I stare at him awkwardly. He was so beautiful. "Do I have something on my face?" He asked confused and I looked away blushing. Yes. Adorableness. "Hey, you wanna go out for coffee?" I change the topic and he grins. "Is it a date?" "No." I raise an eyebrow and he winks. "I''ll be there." "Right." I giggle rolling my eyes and I stand stretching my hand. He takes it and I lead him, enjoying the feel of someone''s hand on mine. I just can''t help but think that Theodore''s hand would feel bett- Hey! Watch it! Right. What am I saying? I finally find a coffee shop and turn to Ocean who was looking at me with amusement. "You dragged me all around thend, not knowing where you were going." He chuckles as we enter the cafe and I giggle. Stop that! "So?" I smile and he shakes his head. "I just want a chocte chip cookie," I tell him hungrily eyeing the pastries. "Alright sweetheart, let''s step away from the ss." He jokes and I smack his arm lightly. "Isn''t that your boyfriend?" "Boyfriend?" I raise an eyebrow at him before turning to where he was pointing to find Theodore and some brte. I felt a very unwanted feeling surge through me but I pushed it way under. "He''s definitely not my boyfriend." Belonging to N?velDrama.Org. "Foreal?" His eyes lit up but I ignored it. "Yup. I despise him." I inform matter-of-factly and Ocean grins. "Interesting." Our turns were up and Ocean bought me ten chocte chip cookies. I grinned happily at him before practically running to our seat. He chuckles and calls me adorable before sitting next to me. Over the next thirty minutes, Ipletely forget about Theodore as Ocean tries to stuff napkins in my mouth. "So, school starts soon, what''re you studying?" "Law and sociology. " "Ahh, you want to be a social worker?" "Yup." "I want to be awyer." "Ew." I joke and he fakes offense. "How dare you. " He gasps and I break outughing. "What about your family? Where are they?" I feel my body grow hot and my heart rate speeds up. Should I tell him? I don''t know girl you on your own! Why, thanks mind. "They''re good, everyone''s in uh, Ohio." "Oh cool." He grins and I nod weakly. "It''s gettingte. I should head home." He frowns slightly before nodding. "Let me walk you." We both head out and I notice that Theodore wasn''t there anymore, but his brte was and she looked furious as she red at me. Me? I raise an eyebrow while passing her before we need out and stroll home. "I had a nice time with you," Ocean speaks up and I smile shyly. "I had a nice time too." Reaching my dorm, I stare at him. "We should do it again. You have my number." I nod at him as he leans and pecks my cheek his soft lips lingering there for a while. I sp my both hands in front of me and I was probably as red as a tomato. "Okay," I mutter and he slightly caresses my red cheek before smiling and leaving. Flustered, I head inside to find a shirtless Theodore with clenched teeth and a sad Xbox which was feeling the extent of his anger. "Girl trouble?" I mutter teasingly and he doesn''t acknowledge me. Well then. Laying on my bed, I watch in silence as he ys C.O.D. I take this time to admire his features. He was well built, a little buffer than Ocean with jet ck hair that was shaved at the sides. The top wasn''t that long but it fitted him. He had a white chocte color and brown sharp eyes. He had truly grown from when Ist saw him. I dealt with him in high school, now I have to deal with him in college. I took a year before I went to college I don''t think that''s enough for one person to change all their ways hence the reason I don''t trust him. I don''t want to forgive him. I have to. But just not right now. It hurts every time I have to be near him knowing what he''s done. Knowing that he ruined my whole life and right now I can''t surpass that. 5. Confession Is Good For The Soul 5. Confession Is Good For The Soul Theodore''s POV I wake up to find Quensi all wrapped up in her sheets. There was this loud knocking at the door and she didn''t look like she was about to get up to check it being deep in slumber and all. Grumpily, I climb out of bed and yank the dorm room open to find that imbecile who was talking to my girl. "Hello." He greets and I raise an eyebrow to which he crosses his arms. "I''m sure you know I''m not here to see you."He states and I send him a fake smile. "Back away Salty." "Salty?" "Cause your name is Ocean." "Oo, I see what you did there." "Right... Anyway, Si''s asleep. Come back never. Good day." I move to m the door but he pushes it slightly. "Can you tell her to meet me at the coffee shop?" "Sure will." Not. I roll my eyes as he leaves and turns to find Si rubbing her eyes adorably. "Mm, who was that?" She murmurs sleepily the sheets draping helplessly across her barely clothed chest. "No one special." -------- I can''t believe sses start tomorrow, why do we even have to attend an actual ss? Leaning back onto the wall and watch as Si sits on her bed, writing some mumbo jumbo,pletely ignoring me. I sigh and walk over to her, throwing myself on her small body. "Ompf." She lets out. "Theodore!" Maybe I could seduce her into liking me... Izilyy some kisses onto her face and she sputters with rage, pushing me off her and straddling me. She ces her tiny hands around my neck and attempts to choke me. "Boy. Boy. Boy. I don''t know who you think you are but don''t you ever put your revolting pig lips on me again okay? Like what in the world was that? Are you crazy?" "Crazy enough to let you stay in this position and call me daddy." I wink and she blushes swiftly moving off me and kicking me off her bed. "Stay away from me." She nearly yells slipping on her shoes and mming out. Welp. That went well. Quensi''s POV Men are so confusing! One minute their all quiet and by themselves then they''re all over you like moths to a me. Disgusting. That''s what he is. Rolling my eyes once more at the haunting memory, I Sit on one of the benches and stare at the happy folks, wandering around with their peers. It was a sunny day too. Oh, how I''d just love to pop their bubble. Grunting, a shadow falls over me as I catch sight of light brown hair. I find my mood lighten as Ocean stands in front of me. "Ocean!" N?velDrama.Org owns all content. "Si!" he yells back and it doesn''t feel righting from him....it sounded better on Theodore''s lips. I stand and he pulls me into a hug. What is it with the love today?! "How ya doing?" he asks grinning at me and I shrug. "I''m pretty okay." "You''re pretty, that''s one thing." He mutters softly ying with a lock of my hair and I blush. "Thanks." "Did you get my message?" I furrow my eyebrows. "What message?" "I told Theodore to ask you toe to see me at the coffee shop." "Oh.. He didn''t tell me. Must''ve slipped his mind." "Right." "Quensi.." "Theodore." I sigh frustratedly and I can practically feel Ocean''s teeth grit. "I really don''t appreciate you just storming off like that." "You''re not my keeper. I can do whatever I want." I roll my eyes at him turning to Ocean and I can feel his burning gaze on my back. I was about to speak when he grabs my arm and pulls me away. "Let me go!" I yell and by now we were earning attention. Mind ya business you old scallywags! "Theodore. She said to let her go." "Shut up Salty." He snaps throwing me over his shoulder while I scream threats at him. Arriving at the door he throws me onto the bed and looks like he''s fighting back a storm. "What is wrong with you. I feel so e-" "You''re mine," he whispers as an interruption and I freeze. "You''ve always been, and I don''t like sharing." I shiver slightly before gainingposure and ring at him. "Do I look like a toy? Something you can just pass around like what Grayson did? Listen, Theodore, I don''t know what game you''re ying at but I''m not interested. I don''t want you. You hurt me more than anybody could''ve and I''m not letting my heart open just so it can go through that all over again. I despise you. Get that through your skull." "You don''t understand but you soon will. Don''t think for a second that you have a choice of who you love. It''s already me. You belong to me and I''ve been trying to y nice but you are really pushing my buttons." He res right back and I am left breathless as his heated stare does everything but turn me on. I stay silent, hoping that he would just get his whale self off me, and soon he did. I just hmph before angrily grabbing my sheets and pulling them over me. Why is this happening to me? 6.Thats Not The Way To Do It 6.That''s Not The Way To Do It Quensi''s POV He''s just confused. Yup. That''s all. Stepping out of the bathroom, I tiptoe out fully dressed ready day for sses. N?velDrama.Org owns all content. "Hey, babe. You ready?" "Oh crap!" I yell frightened, hand over my heart. "I-I- Don''t call me ''babe." I grumpily step out and m the door leaving him inside before sprinting towards the library. Once indoors, I breathe a sigh of relief, I walk towards the teen fiction section and found absolutely nothing interesting. I look around to see if anyone was looking before making my way to the forbidden adult sector I search a little before I pick out a book called "Fifty shades of grey". Seems innocent enough. I took it and walk towards the sectioned tables and sigh with happiness at the silence Fifteen chapters engrossed into the book and I''m telling you people. It''s not for kids! "So what''re we reading?" I jump mming the book shut. I move quickly to hide the book from Theodore as he sat next to me. "We aren''t reading anything." I snap rudely trying to covering up. "Oh lighten up, you''ll get wrinkles at your young age." he jokes flicking my nose and I stare at his hands in disgust before spitting square into his eyes. He freezes before turning red and I stiffen before trying to get up. He grabs my shirt and pulls me back down. "You need to learn some respect." He merely growls and I roll my eyes. "Respect? For you? Please, little boy. Sit down and be humble." I scoff and he grabs my neck stiffly and pulls me to him. I wasn''t choking. Nope. In fact, I hated it. I hated that I liked it. "Listen Quensi" He murmurs my name rolling off his tongue as he pulls my closer, his lips lightly brushing against mine with every word. "You should know how powerful I am by now and how far I will go to get it. As if I haven''t made myself clear thest time, You. Are. Mine. Always have been, so I would appreciate a little more respect- ah ah ah!" He realizes I was about to spit on him again so he stops me. "But... I guess I''ll have to show you some respect in return... So... Quensi Marie. Will you go on a date with me?" Staring at him in shock I nearly hit him with that corrupted book I hid in my shirt. "Eww. No." My answer takes him by surprise so I pull back and move away as the bell rings. My mouth said no. So why was my head screaming "Yes"? Focus Quen, you deeply dislike him. Right. ------------------ First-ss was a killer. The second ss was a killer The third ss was a killer. The fourth ss was ki- I think you get the point And guess what?! Surprisingly, Theodore just happened to be in all of them, torturing me until I said yes to his stupid date! mming my locker door, I don''t fail to notice the slight jump, my neighbor. I waddle angrily to the cafeteria and plop down on my seat, watching as my huge thighs sprawl out the size of Texas. I wasn''t hungry. I never was. Plugging in my headphones, I smile as Astrid S fills my ears. Closing my eyes Iy my head on the table. No one has attempted to talk to me, nor introduce themselves. Might as well sleep. Tap. Tap Ignore. They''ll go away. Tap. Tap Sooner orter. Tap. Tap. Tap "What?!" I yell over the music in my ears and Theodore seems slightly frightened. "Theodore for my sake! Jeez, we live in the same dorm. If you have something to-" He looks angry as he grabs my hand tightly and yanks me up pulling me out of the cafeteria. "I- Stop! What''re you doing?! Theodore you''re hurting me!" I whimper but he doesn''t stop. Instead, he swings me around and ms me against a locker. He pushes his lips on mine, leaving close to none space in between us as he uses one hand to hold mine above my head and the other to roam my body. Stupidly I don''t fight back, only a gasp here and there as he groped at certain ces. Breathing hard, he buries his head in my neck hurriedly and I bite my lip. Do I really wanna stop him though? It seems like it¡¯s the right thing to do. I push him off of me finally and he smirks. "That was even more amazing than I thought." I felt disgusted. I didn''t want to be here. Not right now. So without another word I ran. 7. Dreaming Of Only You 7. Dreaming Of Only You I didn''t bother going back to my dorm that night so I sat on a park bench for the time being. I sighed for the fifteenth time. I was disgusted....with myself. I liked it! Damit. Resting my head and the back of the bench, I can still smell him. His scent was all over me. And I liked that too. Gosh, his lips were so... soft. And the way they moved... "Quensi." "Leave me alone." I roll my eyes. He sits next to me and I move away. He moves closer, and I move again and we continue until... I was about to fall off the bench. He grabbed me and pulled me onto hisp. "Theodore," I warn. "Hey. I''m just saving you." He mutters. "And I want to apologize for my...disgusting behavior earlier." "Nice to know," I say sarcastically. "I''m serious. I am sorry. I-I don''t know what got into me." "Right." "You see what you do? You keep pushing people! Stop. Pushing. Me." He warns. "Screw you." I spit, getting up and stomping off. And of course, he follows. "I''m trying to be nice to you." "I don''t even want you near me, kinda sucks that we''re roommates." I turn back to smile sarcastically and he grabs my hand before mming me to the back of a tree. We just stand there, breathing heavily and looking at each other. Before you know it, I''m gripping his shirt and he''s gripping my legs. Mouth intertwined, we move at a certain pace. One set just for us. Why does something so wrong feel so right? Gosh, that was clich¨¦. # "I don''t know Beeze! One minute we dislike each other, the next we''re sticking our tongues down each other''s throats." "Yikes. Are you sure it''s the same, Theodore? The one who never even spared you a second nce?" "Yes bih." I deadpanying on my bed. sses were over quite early and Theodore wasn''t in yet so I soughtfort in my best friend back home, too bad it was the worst idea ever. "What do I do?" "Go with your heart." "My heart can''t speak. It''s not saying anything. It''s just here... Beating." "Oh shut up. Just...take it day by day, see how things go. I don''t know maybe...maybe this isn''t as bad as you think." Belongs to N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. "h h h. Whatever useless." I mutter. "Oh shut your sted mouth you ugly troll." I burst outughing and she sends kisses through the phone. As soon as I hang up, Theodore strolls in. We both freeze and I avert my eyes. "Hey." He grins closing the door and I nod at him." That''s all I GEF afterst night? I''m sure your mouth was working then." He chuckles as I blush and I grab my sheets and through them over me. The AC was on full st. Just how I liked it. "Are you hiding a dead body in here or something?" "Not yet," I mutter to myself. "What was that?" "Nothing." Silence. "You looked beautiful today." He says and I roll my eyes. "So I look ugly every other day?" "That''s not what I-" "Smooth lover boy, smooth." "Whatever. By the way, those pink leggings that aren''t really the color pink? Need to loosen up." He demands and I pop up from under the sheets. "Their..leggings. How in the world do you want them to fit?" "Looser." He smiles sarcastically while popping a gummy worm in his mouth while sitting on my bed. My weakness. Gummy worms. I eye them and he stares at me with a smirk. "You want one?" He asks and I shake my head. "Get off my bed with your filthy butt," I tell him and he rolls his eyes. He gets up and sits closer to me. I swear my mouth was watering with desire for that gummy bear. "You sure you don''t want one?" He teases and I bite my lip eyeing it. His smirk drops as he stares at my lip. "Come and get it if you want it. 5 seconds." He puts it between his teeth and begins counting down with muffled words. On one I can''t help it as I dive for him, grabbing his cheeks and cing his mouth on mine grabbing the gummy worm, I was about to lift myself when he decided toy down and press his hands against my back. I leaned back in swallowing this gummy bear and...something else and we continue kissing. His hands slide down my back and I gasp as he gropes. I slide off him and onto the floor. "Dangit. Why do we always end up like this? I don''t like you!" "You can''t resist me." He smirks. "Shut up imbecile." "Kiss?" "No. Your breath stinks." I lie getting up and walking to the bathroom. "Does not!" "Does too!" "Does not!" "Does too!" "Does not! " does too-" "Don''t make mee in here and kiss you." *Shuts mouth.* 8. Waves and Confessions 8. Waves and Confessions "I don''t know why I''m here," I tell the janitor as I stand in his closet and he raises an eyebrow before shutting the door and leaving. I got a note from Theodore saying to meet him here. "It''s important" but it been thirty minutes. I should''ve known. I angrily stomp out and lucky me I find him leaning against a locker talking to some girl. But who am I right? I only roll my eyes and get to the first period early. I sat in my seat mming my book onto the desk and doodling all over it. The door opens and I assume it''s the teacher so I don''t bother lifting my head. "This isn''t the janitor''s closet." The deep voice rings and I grit my teeth. "What game are you ying at?" The stupid idiot raises an eyebrow at me and I roll my eyes. "How dare you just ditch me so you could lean against a locker talking to some Betty bye-bye." "Betty bye-bye?" He saysughing and I m the book shut. "Rx Quen I was just discussing something with a friend." "Oh okay. That makes everything better! I don''t even know why I agreed. I don''t even know what I''m doing anymore." Tears spring to my eyes mentally curse myself. "You have me on this stupid rollercoaster and I want to get off! I can''t do this! I came to college to learn. And to get away from you. Okay? You took away everything from me. What else do you want Theodore? What else?! Because I honestly have nothing left." Grabbing my stuff I decide that maybe its best I look for another apartment. I skip ss for the rest of the day just sitting in the dorm on myptop, searching for apartments nearby. They''re all so expensive but I found a decent one that I could pay the two first months, but then I''ll have to get a job. Dialing the number, I wait a few seconds and on the third ring, a woman answers. "Um. . . hello, I''m calling about your one-bedroom apartment? Not too far from Hudson College?" # "Thanks so much for helping out." I sigh at Ocean and he smiles picking up the boxes. "You''re wee." Amazingly, I got the apartment on the same day that I called. Seems like she was in desperate need of the money, I hope she doesn''t need it all the time. Halfway done, Theodorees stomping in. "What is going on here?" He all but roars and I stand tall. "I''m moving out," I inform him and his face falls. "What?" "I''m gone, Theodore. Bye-bye." I smile sarcastically as Ocean loads thest box. There wasn''t much stuff anyway, I just wanted it to move fast. Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. "Quensi wait!" He grabs my arm and I re and his hand that wraps around it. He releases and I cross my arms staring at him. "I''m sorry okay. I- I don''t know how exactly to do this. I like you, you know I do, but it''s hard to express things that I''m not ustomed to. I''m sorry that I made you so mad all the time and that I kiss you when you don''t want to. I''m sorry. I''m so sorry. If you want to leave that''s fine, I''m not going to stop you, I just want you to forgive me." I''m speechless by the end of his confession and I nod. "I-I need some time. . ." I tell him and he nods stepping aside. "Goodbye. . ."He murmurs and I nod. "Bye. . ." I turn around and leave. It feels strange as I hug Ocean and get into my car driving off. I ignore all feelings and push them deep down where they belong. 9. To New Beginnings. 9. To New Beginnings. Theodore''s POV Belonging to N?velDrama.Org. I sit in the room. . . . Alone. . . . . On a Saturday. . . . . . Ever since Quen left and moved into a new apartment- I have no idea how she did it so fast. -I haven''t been seeing her a lot around the school except for in sses but she would sit far away, and bolt as soon as the ss ended. Picking up my phone, I dial the only person I know that can help me. "Woah, am I seeing the contact name correctly or. . ." I roll my eyes amused. "Hello would be nicer, mom," I tell her and she chuckles. "Hello sweetie, how are things?" "Good. . . School wise." "Oh, is something wrong?" "Girl trouble." I sigh rubbing my forehead and she gasps. "Girl trouble? That''s a first." She mutters thest part my face goes t at her response. "Who is this special girl?" I take a deep breath before responding. "Do you remember Quensi?" "Quensi? Isn''t she the one that you. . . . Oh... " "Yup." My mom was literally my best friend, I told her everything. Including what I did a few years ago. "You guys ended up in the same college?" She asks surprised. "What a coincidence!" Right. ''Coincidence." "Right so. ." I began exining everything to her leaving out the dirty parts, of course, and by the time I was done, she was already ranting. "Theodore Anthony Beckett. That is no way to treat ady. I have-" "I know mom I get it. Can you please help me now?" She sighs. "Well, right now you need to start from scratch. Try being friends first before just jumping into something that both you and her aren''t ready for. She needs to learn to trust you. Most importantly you need to learn to trust each other." "When is the right time to move on with things?" I ask her and I can already sense her smile. "You''ll know. You''re a smart boy." Great. She was so useful just a while ago. "Thanks, mom." I murmur. "You''re always wee sweetie. I love you. Don''t her knocked up. Use a condom! When the time is right of course." "Mom! I thought I told you I believe in marriage before sex." I yell feeling my cheeks heat up and she laughs loudly, mumbling a ''sure''. "I love you too," I say before she hangs up and begins nning. Yes. It''s true, despite all the rumors, I am still a virgin. # "I bet you think that Soap is better than Pity Party." My new friend Lauren says as we discuss songs from Mnie Martinez. "It is!" I exim and she rolls her eyes amused, her ck curls bounce as we walk down the hall. "Quensi." I know that voice. So I keep walking. "Um, Si. There''s a boy like literally running towards you." I shut my eyes and walk faster. "Lauren. Whatever you do, don''t turn around again." She nods looking confused and soon I am spun around. "You didn''t hear me?" Theodore asks and I act confused shaking my head. He doesn''t look convinced but he brushes it off. "Can I talk to you after school?" He asks and I immediately open my eyes to decline. "Please, I promise I''m not going to force you into anything." He says and I eye him skeptically. "Alright. Meet me at the cafe just two blocks from here." I agree wearily and he smiles. "Okay, I''ll see you then." He walks off and I can''t help but wonder what I just got myself into. "What and who was that?" Lauren asks and I almost forgot she was behind me. # "Woah. So he actually did that? And now he wants you? I call b.s." Lauren shrugs biting into her sandwich. It was lunchtime and I filled Lauren in at what happened that night. I was surprised she didn''t judge me instead she agreed with me. "So. . .you''re not totally and utterly disgusted with me?" I ask her and she raises an eyebrow. "We all make mistakes and we learn from them. . . which also goes for him too. He made a mistake and I''m not saying that you have to go plunging into his arms, but don''t be too harsh on him if he is genuine when he apologizes." She tilts her head in his direction and I catch him looking at me, sitting at his usual table, with his usual gang. As soon as I meet his eye, he leans forward and stares at me even more. I avert my eyes back to my pudding. "Hey, don''t be too harsh on him okay? It may seem hard to forgive but. . . we all do some things that we''re not supposed to and end up regretting itter. It''s the cycle of life." "Woah, when did you get so inspirational?" I joke and she grins. "I don''t know, it just came to me." # I''m running a littlete since I overstayed at the library so I rush to the cafe. When I enter, I immediately spot him checking his watch and I shake my head. He was never a patient person. I walk towards the table, clutching my books to my chest, my bag hanging low. His eyes find mine and they instantly soften. I slide into the booth, taking off my bag and leaning forward. "Hey. . ."He smiles. "Hi." I murmur. "How are things? Is the apartment... .okay?" He tries and I hold in myugh. "Yea. It''s pretty nice." "That''s good." He states and I nod, drumming my hand on the table and looking around. He sighs. "Quensi. . . I don''t know how I''m going to get you to forgive me, and I''ve gotta say I haven''t been doing a good job. I''m sorry for pushing you and making you feel trapped, that was never my intention. I''m not going to force you anymore instead I''ll take it slow. I''m okay with us being just friends... " I''m honestly surprised by his speech and yes, he looks 100% genuine. I would normally be telling him that I despise his ugly soul but I decided to take Laurens word instead. "Okay." I breathe staring at him and his eyes widen. "What?" "Okay." I nod and he grins. "Okay." He mutters. "I gotta go study, I''ll see you tomorrow," I tell him and he nods. I grab my bag and slide out of the booth. He stands but doesn''t make any sudden moves. Instead, he just stretches out his hand and I smile, grabbing it. We shake hands and I offer him another soft smile before leaving. 10. Secret Admirers Huh 10. Secret Admirers Huh Quensi''s POV "I''m ashamed to say that I can''t eat all of this," Lauren mutters staring at her tray and Iugh loudly. "I thought so." We had a dare as to how much we could eat, and Lauren went a bit overboard with, burgers, fries, potato chips, pizza, cheese rolls, chocte cake, pudding, and an x-trarge coke. Our cafeteria was luxurious. One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Trays plop on our table and I furrow my eyebrows at the same time Lauren gapes. "What''s happening?" She murmurs towards me and I raise my eyes to find Theodore. Of course. "I have no idea," I mutter. "Hey, Si." He smiles and everyone sits down. "What''re you doing?" I ask and he puts his face in a duh motion. "Eating here. Anyway. This is Roy, Z''hiem, Chase and Christopher." All of them smirk at us, except for Z''hiem whose eyes seem to be trained on Lauren. This is going to be cliche, isn''t it? Z''hiem had these frightening green eyes with dark hair. He was a normal height maybe. .6''0 and very muscr. Even more than Theodore and that''s saying something.Belongs to N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. Christopher had softer blue eyes and blonde hair, he was probably the second tallest at 6''2. Chase had nonchnt grey eyes, and tattoos. He was tall and broad. Well all of them were. And then there was Theodore. "So. . what are we talking about?" Well... we''re trying to eat all of this, to see who wins but I''m not so sure. . " "I''ll help you." Z''hiem shrugs and I raise an eyebrow at him. "Not if I help you," Chase speaks up arms crossed and I nod. "Alright. Let the games begin." Theodore didn''t look so excited as Chase moved over toe next to me. "On your marks... get set. . . go!" # "Okay ow. .my stomach hurts." Iin clinging onto Chase and he smirks. "I could eat another tray, and still have space for you." He winks and I blush, looking away. Theodore clears his throat and we all turn our attention to him. Well almost. Z''hiem and Lauren seemed to be in their own world. "We''re gonna go now. I''ll see you around Si. Lauren." He nods and Z''hiem winks at Lauren, she looks at me and I wiggle my eyebrows. "Bye." Chase waves and I smile. "Bye . ." It takes a second and Theodore had to scream at him so he could move. "Alright man, calm your moobs." "Moobs?" "Yea, man boobs." He nods and I burst outughing. "Alright then." He winks one more time and I shake my head. Do their eyes ever hurt them? "Queen! Did you see Z''hiem''s eyes." Lauren squeals and I raise any eyebrow amused at her. "Don''t look at me like that. You and Chase weren''t so innocent either." "What? Chase and I are just acquaintances. We''re not even friends." "Right. That''s why hr was eye taping you." She smirks walking off and I gape at her. "Hey! You get back here. We are not done with this conversation." * * * My apartment was amazing for the price of 699 a month. It was huge butpact. But I also realized why people didn''t rent it. There was this scary noise the room door would make since it could stay closed and it gets louder every second. I guess everyone was toozy to fix it. However, I got creative and tied it to my dressing table. Thank Lord I have a master bedroom or else I would surely pee myself at how long it would take to untie it. I sat in the living room and went over some of my notes when my phone chimed. I grabbed it and found a text from an unknown number. Hey - Unknown Hello. Who is this? - Me Just your secret admirer - unknown. Must be Theodore. Really. What happened to take it to slow huh? - Me My phone chimed again but I chucked it under my books and went back to cramming the notes. Secret admirer huh? I thought he was really going to take this seriously. I guess not. It was all just a joke to him. The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone!
