Paint me a heart   56. Not funny

Lately, I was picking a time when others would not be at school to paint on the wall project. Now I wanted to be the only one painting again, but I didn’t want to be alone. It was the perfect place to plan my payback with Thomas, Linda, and Tina.Leaving my mobile

Paint me a heart   55. I had enough

“It seems like she got in some big trouble and was called for questioning in the Police station after school.” My mother whispered with a gossiping expression.“So?” I opposed her. “After that, she could have been angry and slashing my tires

Paint me a heart   54. Calm the storm for me

Thomas and I didn’t talk much on our way back to my house. We were in some quiet understanding of my situation and while I was thinking of what I am going to say to my father, he was probably trying not to trouble me any further.Instead of chatting, we listened to

Paint me a heart   53. Jealousy calls

Surprising myself, I picked up Thomas’s phone and hung up on my best friend. An ugly feeling I never had, took over my mind. Was there an option that she likes him, or he likes her? No, this was silly, and I was a moron. She is into girls. She never liked a single guy that I showed her as attractive.

Paint me a heart   52. Here for me

I gave a small smile and nodded as a welcome, and Thomas and Steven gave each other a quick greeting before my step-brother turned his attention back to me.“Help you with what?” he narrowed his eyebrows at me with unhidden curiosity.We never had a real talk.

You surely know her - a curly brown hair, glasses… geek-is

Paint me a heart   51. Don't embarrass me

No matter that I accepted Linda’s invitation to sleep over her place, instead being alone in my room, I barely slept. My mind was plotting ways to release myself from Olivia’s trap and prevent her for showing my provocative photos and whatever else she got from my mobile.Exhausted, I got up really early and drove to my house in the morning. After refreshing in the warm shower, I put on some of my old clothes and a black jacket. My reflection was staring at me with a sad look and baggy eyes, but I ignored it and went to school.Last night I had nightmares, tonight I had no sleep. I was feeling miserable, but someho

Paint me a heart   17. Poisoning air

Paint me a heart   16. Broken beuty

Paint me a heart   15. The climb

We were staring at each other. He was grinning, and I was testing the strength of my will to resist him."What?" I asked, feeling the heat warming my cheeks."Nothing." He smiled even wider, and I turned to look at the waterfall again.It wasn't high, but the giant red rock i

Paint me a heart   14. Flowers and butterflies

On the road to the forest, we were listening to one radio, then to another - unable to stay on a station. Alex turned out to be very picky, so I just skipped the fact that I have my favorite songs on a Flash drive in the car.Our travel took about forty-five minutes out of town. I was than
