What June didn't plan for her senior year was falling for River,Brooks bad boy and player. What comes with the whole package?

June Chapter 1 Partners

June walked slowly into Brooks High School clutching her books tightly in her arms and her school bag,slung over her shoulders.Her hair was tied in a bun and it shined gloriously under the morning sun.Her twin Jane,was already talking to a group of friends.They were both sixteen with Jane,the eldest.She was not really an extrovert neuther was she and introvert,she preferred keeping to herself.She never talked to anyone except for a few greetings,that was all.Jane,however was the opposite of her.She was the cheerleaders captain and was also the Queen of Brooks High.

Jane was labelled as a snub by most people,but she couldn't care less.She got to her locker and put in her combination,unlocking her locker.

"The snub is already here."Said a girl to her friend,while glaring at her.June ignored them and went ahead to bring out the books she was going to use for her class today.

It was the beginning of a new term and she was in her last year in highschool.The bell rang indicating it was first period.She packed her books and left for class.Few students were already in class,and the front row was occupied.She decided to sut in the middle row which was still good for her sight.She had Biology first period.Mrs Williams,the biology teacher entered and began teaching.

Halfway into the class,the door burst open and the three bad boys of Brooks High,in the form of River,Justin and Jordan came inside.They were the hottest guys in school,with River their leader.He was the school quarterback and captain of soccer.He was tall,with blue eyes and black hair.Rumors had it that,he had slept with almost all the girls in Brooks High.

"Can you guys explain to me why you're just coming now?"asked Mrs Williams,a frown visible on her face.

"Sorry ma'am"apologized Jordan.He was the most reserved of them all.

"To your seats"she ordered.

River had already sat down even before she had ordered them.

"You'll be doing a project in pairs."

There was grumbling and murmurings heard.

"Quiet,all of you!"barked Mrs Williams.Order was restored back.

"I've paired you guys together so listen to your names and partner."

She took out a long paper containing the names of all the students and their partners.

"Now listen."she ordered.

June was already fidgeting in her seat,when she heard partners.That only means one thing.She was finally going to talk to someone.She was disturbed.She had no friends and was not sure if anybody was going to talk to her.She decided to keep calm and listen yo her partner.But,she prayed she wasn't paired with River,Justin or Jordan.

"Sandra and Peter"Mrs Williams called out breaking her out from her trance.

"Favor and Tiffany,Amelia and Mark,Ryder and Trevor...."

"Alex and Gracie,Joshua and Joel,Jane and Justin,Tyler and Jordan and ....."She paused for effect before releasing the bombshell."June and River."

The class went into chaos after that.June was shocked.Of all people,she was paired with River.She decided to change partners.

"You can't switch partners"Mrs Williams said destroying the last ray of hope she had.

"Now,sit with your partners while I go round distributing your paperwork."Commanded Mrs Williams.June made no effort to move at all.There was scraping of chairs as people located their partners.She wasn't ready to talk to anyone,not even River.

She felt the sit beside her shift and someone sat on it.She didn't need to look,she knew it was River from his cologne.

"Hey!"Came River's voice.She looked up to meet his gaze to see him smiling at her.She glanced away and brought out her notepad.

Mrs Williams came to where they were seated and dropped their project.

"June,try bring nice at once and good luck"Said Mrs Williams,before moving on.June made for the paper,the same time as River.She quickly pulled back when their hands touched.

"Go ahead."Urged River.She picked it up and stared at what was written on it.They were to work on all the sea creatures,their distinction feature and species they belong to.She dropped it back on the desk and spoke up"Leave the work for me"she said.

River chucked and replied"Not happening".

She glared at him but said nothing.

"So,how do we meet to carry out the project?"She asked

"Let's do it this way,I come to your house and you cone to mine."he replied

"I'm not coming to your house!"she said authoritatively.

"Fine,I'll do the coming,"River chuckled.

"Time?"

"By 4pm"

The bell rang signalling class was over.She packed her books and made to leave.

"So,4 it is?"asked River

"Yes"

With that she left the class.She had Geometry next.While on her way,Justin walked beside her.

"Hey!"he said.She ignored him and quickened her steps.

"I'm Justin by the way."he introduced.Still,he was met with silence.

"I can see you don't talk"

"Isn't it obvious?"she wanted to say but decided against it.

"Leave the poor girl alone.She clearly doesn't want to talk to you."River said,coming to the rescue.

"I don't mean any harm"Justin remarked.

"Yeah,says the guy who has slept with almost all the girls here."

"You're no different from me."

June had had enough and took off running.

"You scared the poor girl."River said staring at the direction she took with a faraway look in his eyes.

"I did not"

The heavy iron gates of the Wilderness Correction Camp groaned as they released me after three years of state-sponsored hell. I stood on the dirt road, clutching a plastic bag that held my entire life, waiting for the family that claimed they sent me there for "rehab." My brother, Brady, picked me up in a luxury SUV only to throw me out onto a deserted highway in the middle of a brewing storm. He told me I was a "public relations nightmare" and that the rain might finally wash the "stink" of the camp off me. He drove away, leaving me to limp miles through the mud on a snapped ankle. When I finally dragged myself to our family estate, my mother didn't offer a hug; she gasped in horror because my muddy clothes were ruining her Italian marble. They didn't give me my old room back. Instead, they banished me to a moldy gardener’s shack and hired a "babysitter" to make sure I didn't embarrass them further. My sister, Kaleigh, stood there in white cashmere, pretending to cry while clinging to her fiancé, Ambrose—the man who had once been mine. They all treated me like a volatile junkie, refusing to acknowledge that Kaleigh was the one who planted the drugs in my bag three years ago. They wanted to believe I was broken so they wouldn't have to feel guilty about the "wellness retreat" that was actually a torture chamber. I sat in the dark of that shed, feeling the cooling gel on the cigarette burns that covered my arms, and realized they had made a fatal mistake. They thought they had erased me, but I had returned with a roadmap of scars and a hidden satellite phone. At dinner, I didn't beg for their love. I simply rolled up my sleeves and showed them the price of their silence. As the wine spilled and the lies crumbled, I sent a single text to the only person I trusted: "I'm in. Let them simmer." The hunt was finally on.

Flash Marriage To My Best Friend's Father

Flash Marriage To My Best Friend's Father

Madel Cerda
4.7

I was once the heiress to the Solomon empire, but after it crumbled, I became the "charity case" ward of the wealthy Hyde family. For years, I lived in their shadows, clinging to the promise that Anson Hyde would always be my protector. That promise shattered when Anson walked into the ballroom with Claudine Chapman on his arm. Claudine was the girl who had spent years making my life a living hell, and now Anson was announcing their engagement to the world. The humiliation was instant. Guests sneered at my cheap dress, and a waiter intentionally sloshed champagne over me, knowing I was a nobody. Anson didn't even look my way; he was too busy whispering possessively to his new fiancée. I was a ghost in my own home, watching my protector celebrate with my tormentor. The betrayal burned. I realized I wasn't a ward; I was a pawn Anson had kept on a shelf until he found a better trade. I had no money, no allies, and a legal trust fund that Anson controlled with a flick of his wrist. Fleeing to the library, I stumbled into Dallas Koch—a titan of industry and my best friend’s father. He was a wall of cold, absolute power that even the Hydes feared. "Marry me," I blurted out, desperate to find a shield Anson couldn't climb. Dallas didn't laugh. He pulled out a marriage agreement and a heavy fountain pen. "Sign," he commanded, his voice a low rumble. "But if you walk out that door with me, you never go back." I signed my name, trading my life for the only man dangerous enough to keep me safe.
