The laughter that erupted from the crowd that gathered to watch what was going on rang continuously in Tessa's ears, it was like she was being spun on a wheel of embarrassment. She didn't bother picking the gift up and neither did Jimmy. She didn't know when tears dropped down her eyes and she was more embarrassed to even lift her hands to wipe them off. Nobody stood up for her to shut Dominic down for her misdeeds. Samantha was not here or she would have stood up for her, she was still in class. At the back of her mind she hoped that Jimmy would shout at Dominic for her rude behavior or at least have said something to her that would put her in her place. This was it for her, the end of high school,her life would be more miserable than before.Jimmy steadily walked to Dominic who smiled like she had achieved a medal or some sort of other award, then Tessa turned and round pushing through the throng of people that were pointing at her and still laughing, she couldn't believe it. Jimmy,
Her change was gradual and it amazed not only het but everybody around her as well, most times she could not stop staring at herself in the mirror, her mother would catch her and laugh, telling her she had always been beautiful, but too sad to see it. Even Samantha was awed by her cousins transformation, and wished Tessa hadnty changed schools, but Tessa was glad she did, because at her new school she was accepted for who she was and how she looked,and not once did her friends make her feel less. It was the best decision she made. After graduating highschool, she went on to college in another country, France and enjoyed every bit of her stay there, when it was time for her internship her father advised that she should come do it at him, she would have refused but since he wants her home she didn't have any option. She had not been home for two weeks when Samantha told her about this party, which she declined at first, her major reason was that Samantha told her that most of her highs
“It's not like I'm saying it so you can have the chance to comment or judge on my relationship life, I'm just being honest the best way I can, what Dominic did to you wasn't right, but it doesn't make her bad person to me. I know she can be mean but I can't still write her off. She is still my friend”. Jimmy said, not trying to make it look like he was defending her.Tessa did not agree with him “You are mistaken there, the fact that she has never been mean to you doesn't mean she isn't a bad bad person, let's say you are not Jimmy McPherson, how do you think she would have treated you, or does she treat your other friends the way she does to you or there's some slight difference. But you are right, you definitely know her more than I do so it's your call to make if she is a bad person or not, besides I didn't come here to discuss Dominic”.“You are right, let's forget that tonight and focus on us, so what do you say about my proposal or should I call it a request?”.“I don't know wha
“That's enough Dominic, we aren't in highschool anymore, so I advise you grow up, some of the things you say are not funny anymore”. He stood up and left her where she sat, most of the guys followed him, leaving her and the girls alone.Dominic felt so embarrassed and belittled, she has always had feelings for Jimmy since highschool, and since she was the most popular girl, back then she knew when other girls liked him to and had even threatened most of them. It hurt her when she saw Tessa giving Jimmy that gift, and she quickly thought if something that will ridicule her, she didn't even know that it would have that much effect, but she was glad it did. Jimmy defended her them and is defending her now which made her all the more angry.She looked round to see if Tessa was still around, but she couldn't find her, sh got rid of her before she can get rid of her again. So she stood up and walked round leaving her friends behind. When she finally caught sight of Tessa she was intrigued b
She did it. She couldn't not believe she retaliated. It felt so good, but why is she crying? That was the confusing thing right now. She dried her eyes,but more tears still came out from it. Was she humiliated?, No She didn't feel that sense of humiliation at all, as far as she was concerned. Dominic got what she deserved and she had it coming all this while. What she could not understand was why Jimmy had to go to Dominic's side, it was clear to everyone that she got hit first and she did that as a way of defending herself. Normally she would have held her cheek or maybe cried in front of everyone before racing out, but who would have come to her aid then. She was done being that kind of girl.From what happened, Jimmy probably felt she was too violent,then she understood it, the reasons for the tears, she was hoping that at least Jimmy would support her now and she would probably hear something that she missed.the other time something similar happened years ago, but this time Domin
Since nobody was here but her, it was her responsibility to stay with him, plus she put him here so it was likely she stayed instead of anybody else. She sat on a chair, and tried her best not to sleep, but sleep proved to be more powerful than she was, and before she knew it, she was already asleep on the chair. It was about an hour before Jimmy woke up to the blinding light of the ward, it took a few minutes before his eyes adjusted to the light, and he tried to make sense of where he was at the moment. Looking at the sheets and around the room, it was clear that he was in a hospital, but why he was there was unsure to him. Then he caught sight of Tessa sitting on the chair then his mind went back to the party.He tried to remember, he was with some of his old friends as he could not stand Dominic's words anymore, then the next thing he knew was Tessa and Dominic fighting, everyone knew that Dominic would be in the wrong and would have done something to provoke Tessa, so he took it
Her voice came out as a squeak betraying the confidence she felt inside her, she could not even look Robinson McPherson in the face, it was not like he a threatening look, but he exuded this aura of authoritativeness that could not be denied in any room. She managed to step closer to him so he could see her fully and assess that she was in no way a harmless person and it was just an accident.“So you did this?, Where you drunk or was ait something else”.Jimmy didn't want his father interrogating Tessa she might feel intimidated so he tried to speak up for her but she did for herself surprisingly. “No Sir,I wasn't drunk, neither did I take anything at that party,it was a honest mistake. I came to the parking lot to leave the party, no one was around and it was dark,so I assumed it was safe to drive off like that,I admit that was a wrong move and could have cost his life, but fortunately it wasn't at all bad”. She hoped what she said will allay his anger. That was the truth and she ca
He heard the thud and turned the back lights of the car still shining but no longer blinding as his eyes adjusted to it, then he saw his brother lying on the ground lifeless, there was no blood or ghastly round in sight,but he could not tell if his brother was alive or not. His mind cleared at once and his drunken state disappeared,he still didn't know what to do as he was horror stricken, he didn't go near his brother for fear of the worst, he made his way to their car like a stupid person, because that was how he felt and drove home to get his parents. That was the only thing he could do, his parents had told him countless times to come to them anytime he was in trouble.His mind did not go to taking his brother to the hospital, his parents were the only and best solution, and his brother was lying on the ground because of him, as he neared have, he hit his head with his hand. He should have at least checked on his brother before driving off. Seeing his brother sent waves of happine
