“Oh my God, Todd?”
Judah huffs, clearly not concerned. He rolls his eyes.
” Serena.” Todd calls again and knock on my door.
” Shit! Judah , you gotta leave through the back door.” I whisper and plea.
” F-ck, no!”
God he’s so stubborn.
” Serena, are you in?” Todd knocks again.
” Judah, please. We fought today and you’re the reason behind it. I can’t let him see you with me, it’s gonna make him think I’m truly cheating on him with you.” I plea and pout.
Judah doesn’t even look like he cared. Of course he doesn’t even care. I bet he doesn’t even have feelings.
” So he thought you were f-cking me or what? What am I not cute enough?”
“F-cking hell, Judah. You’re annoying.” I tell him and he smirks.
” Serena.” Todd knocks again. This time louder. I badly want to let him.
But he’s definitely gonna freak out. Get angry and finally break up with me.
” Ignore him, he’s gonna leave.”
” I can’t do that to him.”
” Why not? He’s a prick.”
” Don’t you dare. Goddamnit.” I sigh and proceed to walk past him.
Judah grabs my wa-ist and pulls me back. I swat his hands but he doesn’t let me go. I hear Todd scoffs and then I hear his footsteps fades down my front porch.
” See, the f-cker is gone.” Judah smirks at me.
” You’re happy now?”
” F-ck, yeah. Now I have you to myself.”
” And what’s that supposed to mean?”
Judah pulls me to him. I feel his tatted hands wrap around my wa-ist as he leans down a bit.
” Judah, don’t!” I warn him and that makes him smirk w¡der.
Judah bites his bottom lip and I’m getting more nervous. I should be thinking of ways to call Todd so that we can settle things again, but Judah has steal my senses just with simple gesture. He raise his hand to brush my hair behind my ear.
God I like that too.
And then he’s leaning closer again. I badly wanna push him away and get away from this temptation called Judah but I can’t. I just cant or maybe I just don’t want to. We are a inch apart as we stare into each other’s eyes. I can’t read Judah’s expression, it’s kinda hærd.
” I might be an assh-le, a jerk but can’t make you cry. Maybe I will, in a good way. Like you in my bed…” He whispers and I’m feeling weird again.
Judah’s fingertips car-sses my skin past my p-nties. I didn’t miss the sed-ctive glint in his eyes and the way he bites his lip.
This isn’t right. I mean I want Todd and I to settle things and yet I’m letting Judah touch me. My phone rings at once. I’m snap out of my trance as I breathe out a breath of relief. Judah is disappointed. I swat his hand away from him and go to my room to retrieve my phone.
I pick it up from my nightstand and Todd’s calling. I click the answer icon and press the phone against my ear.
” Hey.”
” Serena. God I’m so sorry.”
Yeah, I know. Always saying sorry like sorry always fix things. I shut my eyes and breathe in.
” Todd, sorry don’t usually fix things.”
” I know, I know. Maybe I was just being too much of a jerk. I missed you and I hate what I did. I’m just mad because of nothing really cool. I wanna make it up to you. Please I need another chance.”
” I’ve given you a lot of chances.”
” Last chance, please? I promise I’m gonna make it up to you.”
I sigh. I remembered what Phoebe said, that his father was the last person that visited my family before they were murdered. I should probably ask him about it. I need answers.
” Okay. Last chance and I’m serious, and after that I can’t give you more chances.”
” Thanks , babe. I promise to change. I won’t f-ck this up.”
That’s his usual phrase and at the end he was f-ck things up.
” Sure.”
” I’m taking you out tomorrow, to make things right.”
” Okay?”
” Thanks. I love you.” He says but I don’t respond. I don’t even know what this is. What we’re and what am doing.
” Later, Todd.” I hang up and toss my phone on my bed.
I lean against the wall and take in deep breaths. A part of me don’t like the idea of coming back with Todd. And then the other part of me wants to explore s€×uality with Judah. Judah? God I forgot he’s in my house.
I walk out of my room and go the living room. God he’s not there. I’m about to open the door to check outside and I see him in my kitchen. Drinking a bottle water which I assume he took from my fridge and he’s smoking.
” Seriously.”
He looks up at me and puff out the smoke through his nostrils. He looks like Satan with all these smoke. I walk close to him and stop two feet away from his form.
” You don’t smoke in my house.” I say. He doesn’t look concerned or like he cared.
Judah pulls out the stick and blow out the smoke at the opposite direction.
” So what? You know I don’t care about your tiny little rules.” He says and put back the stick into his mouth. It’s already half smoked.
” Your boyfriend called to apologise right?”
” You weren’t eavesdropping on my conversation, right?”
” That’s stupid. It’s sick you believed his lies.” He says.
I open my mouth to say something but nothing comes out. Maybe Judah is right. But why should I be bothered by Judah’s words. Judah smirks and stands up. I visibly back away till my back is crushed against my counter. He stops in front of me and throws the remain of the cigarette in,side my waste bin. He smells like hell.
His green eyes hold my form and then he moves his gaze down. I follow his gaze to my br-ast and I’m embarrassed. How can someone be comfortable looking at other people’s s€×ual features. Judah raise his hand to touch me and I’m scared he’s about to touch me. He holds a necklace and raise it up.
And then I thought he was about to touch my b-ob, I’m so stupid. I look at the pendant in his hand as he looks at it. He opens it and look at the picture in,side. It’s a picture of me and Beverly.
” Who’s that?” He asks referring to my pendant. I sigh and take it from him.
” Sister?” He asks again.
” Yeah.”
” Where’s she then?”
I cross my arms and breathe in. My eyes sting of tears and this won’t be good crying in front of Judah.
” Dead.” I say and look up at his features. I badly want to read this man and his emotions. His face his stoic, like it holds nothing.
Judah nods and turns to leave. I watch him walk out of my apartment without saying a word to me. That was weird.

” So why sorority? I’ve been willing to ask?” I ask Chloe the following morning at school.
Earlier she called my name when I just arrived school and we walked together. Surprisingly, we shared same class that morning and we actually sat next to each other. The professor just round up his lectures and we leave. Through out last night, I find myself thinking about Judah and what he did yesterday. I didn’t see him this morning except Hero who was about entering Judah’s apartment. We exchange greetings and that’s all. No Judah.
” You know sorority aren’t allowed to throw their own party. We are only allowed to party with frat. But this year , we made an online campaign and riot. Sisters needs to throw their own parties.” Chloe says.
” You don’t look like the party type to me.”
” Who doesn’t like parties? I mean maybe you’re right, but once in a while, people wants fun. Fun that consists of loud music and sweaty bodies.”
I chuckle.
” Imagine a party without boys.” I say.
” That’s why it’s called sorority. But the sorority house suggested something though. They wanna make it big and after throwing two or three parties, they are gonna be inviting the fraternity boys.”
” Wow. That will be fun.”
” You should come this weekend. It’s the first sorority party. I’d be glad if you’ll make it.” She says.
” Sure. I’m gonna come. I don’t usually party at frat.”
” Heard your boyfriend owned the biggest frat house.”
” Yeah…” I say.
Talking about Todd, we texted through at last night. The vibe isn’t there, I could feel it. I don’t know why, but Judah was one of things on my mind. But then we can’t work. Without being told, you will know Judah isn’t the relationsh¡p type. He’s the one who wants to hit and then he stops calling your number. And one thing I noticed, after our fight, I don’t hear mo-ns from one of his sluts anymore.
Chloe and I stop at the vending machine to get something.
” You’re hungry right?” I ask her.
” No, I’m good.”
” No, it’s fine.” I chuckle and bought her a bag of ch¡p.
” You don’t have to…”
” Nah, it’s fine.” I assure her.
I see Summer and Bree walking down the hallway. Summer sees me but pretends not to.
” Do you think I should maybe go…”
” Don’t. You don’t have to keep on running away from them.” I tell her.
” Serena…” Bree calls my name and stop to hug me but Summer glares at her.
Oh yeah, f-cking bitch!
” Did you fought with them?” Chloe asks me.
” I don’t remember and I don’t really care.”
” Summer is like the spawn of Satan. Last year, she bullied me and claim I was looking at her. And then another day, she actually flushed my face in a toilet.” Chloe says and push up her glass.
” What?”
Why would Summer do that? That’s far more than inhumane.
” It’s fine. I’m kinda used to it and her stare. I mean she’s pretty, rich, rides a car and kinda popular.”
” You’re gonna tell me if she tries another thing on you, promise me that.”
” Serena, you don’t have to.”
” I have to.” I say sternly.
” You don’t have to what?” I hear a boy’s voice ask.
Chloe and I turn to look at this visitor. He kinda looks familiar. Probably from one of my classes. He has brown curly hair and he’s kinda cute. I love his sweatshirt.
” Hey, Serena. Nice to meet you.”
Damn, and he knows my name too.
” Hi… uh…”
” Thomas.”
” Oh.” I say in realization. Summer was actually lashing at him yesterday.
” He’s my friend, Serena. The only friend actually until you.” I smile at him and shake his hand.
” Why are we standing here?” Thomas asks.
Chloe and I look at each other as we start our walk to the library. Todd texted me to meet him outside school in thirty minutes time.
” You kinda look familiar.” I say on our walk to the library.
” Yeah, I do. We partake in a debate in English class. You were good.”
Bingo. I knew it.
” Oh shit, yeah. That’s really dumb of me that I totally forgot.”
Thomas laughs exposing a pair of white teeth. He’s really cute.
” It’s fine.” He smiles at me.
We arrive at the library as we go through the shelves. Thomas walks to the janitor. A tall dark skinned lady with lovely curls.
” So how long have you two known each other?” I ask Chloe.
” Tom?”
” Yeah.” I say and pull out a book from the shelf.
” Since first year. He’s really sweet. Has an undying crush on Bree.”
” What?” I chuckle.
” I’m embarrassed.” I hear Thomas’s voice from behind. We turn around to look at him , he’s smirking at us.
” It’s the truth and you know it.”
” So why Bree? I mean she’s a lot.”
” Yeah. Sadly I’m not enough. She’s pretty and she’s kinda a nerd. Summer actually changed a lot about her.”
Sad truth. But Bree being a nerd, I don’t really know that. I don’t even know them that much. Considering the fact we just started being friends three months ago when I started dating Todd. But I’m sure of the fact, Summer did a lot of negative job in Bree’s life.
” So you told her already? That you like her?”
” Shit no! I hate the way she looks at me.” Tom says as we walk to sit down.
” Like this?” I ask and make Bree’s hate face.
Chloe laughs and Thomas nods.
“You know it.” Thomas chuckles.
” Aww. She’s a good girl though. I really like her too, aside the fact that she’s kinda Summer’s influence. You should tell her someday.” I advise.
” Yeah, right. This is like the second year of me admiring her from afar. She’s dated like two popular guys in school. I’m not even close to popular.”
” Does it even matter? Being popular before someone finds interest in you?”
” Yeah. It matters as long as Summer will always be her friend. They’ve been friends since first year in Uni, they would never give each other up. Even when Summer treats Bree like trash sometimes.” Thomas says.
” Summer hates everybody though.” Chloe mutters as she fl¡ps through through her book.” It’s kinda new she likes you too.” She says to me.
” She doesn’t. She’s friends with me because of Todd.”
” You’re dating Todd right?” Thomas asks me.
I shrug and nod.
” That’s dope. He is like the king of frat.”
I roll my eyes. That’s what he’s boastful of every time. My phone dings and I pull it out from my bag. A message from Todd.
‘i’m outside, babe.’
I sigh and lock my screen after reading the message.
” I gotta go guys. Sorry.” I say and stand up.
” Sure thing. Becareful.” Chloe says and Thomas smiles at me.
I hurriedly leave the library.
***
I sit on the passenger seat of Todd’s car as he plays one of his loud music. His right hand rest on my thighs and I don’t know why, but I don’t find it pleasing. It doesn’t even light a fire in me. And just Judah’s presence, and I’m getting hot in all the wrong places.
” You know, I’ve been wanting to ask you to come to dinner with me tomorrow. At my parents house.”
Dinner at parents house. We’ve never been to his parents house before. The thought of his father being the last person exiting my father’s house the day they got murdered makes me wanna jump off a bridge.
” Alright.”
Todd smiles at me. One of his smiles that usually makes me want him. But now nothing feels right. Riding in his car don’t even feel right. It’s just weird. And Judah is behind all of this.
” Yeah, Todd. I’m gonna come.” He leans over and pecks my cheek.
I don’t like that either. He stops in front of a fancy restaurant and gets out. Todd will never open the door for you or hold your hands to hop out of the car. You gotta do that yourself. I step out of his car and shut the door. I see him give the valet man his keys. We walk side by side to this expensive restaurant. A lady approaches us and take us to a table. We sit down and she leaves. A waitress walks to our table and drop the menus. And then I remembered the day he flirt with a redhead waitress.
I go through their menus and ordered something simple. Steak and a bottle water. She leaves with both of our menus.
” So how was class?”
” Good. And you?”
” Nice. I thought about you all night. This means a lot to me. You giving me another chance, I don’t wanna f-ck this up Serena.”
I nod and smile at him.
” You won’t.” I assure him. He holds my hand and rub the back of my palm with his thumb.
” Thank you. I meant what I said, that I love you.” I freeze at once. Not because Todd told me he loves me for the hundredth time in three months but because of this familiar green orbs staring at me.
I swallow at once. Judah’s stares holds no emotions maybe because I’m holding hands with Todd. He’s sitting with a man. A man that I can’t see his face because his back his to me. Judah smirks and looks me down. I hate him. Just his stares, I already feel goosebumps creeping up my back and arm.
Luckily the waitress walks in with our orders. I look away from Judah and look at my food. The waitress smiles at us and leaves.
” Do you want anything else?” Todd asks.
” No, I’m good.” I tell him.
I look up and I’m met with Judah’s green orbs staring into my soul. How dare he look so damn hot? And tempting? I let my shameless eyes fall on my meal as Todd talks. I can’t hear a thing he’s saying.
” Can I use the bathroom?” I ask at once. I think that’s when I notice Todd have been saying something to me.
” Yeah, sure.”
” Thank you.” I flash him a warm smile and head to the bathroom.
I push the door open and close it. I lean my hands on the sink and stare at my reflection on the mirror.
God, f-ck you Judah.
Why should I be attracted to the devil? What did he do to me? He’s like fire and I’m pretty sure I’m gonna get hurt if I don’t steer clear. But I can’t. I don’t want to. I breathe in and out and look up at my reflection. I jolt and turn around when I’m staring at Judah. God what’s he doing here? Todd’s out there and if I stay too long he’s gonna come look for me.
” Can’t believe I make you w-t just staring at you three tables away.” He taunts me.
I huff and proceed to walk past him but he grabs my wa-ist and pulls me to himself. His fingers burn my skin and I’m getting hot again. Judah’s the only one who makes me feel this way.
” I turn you on, don’t i?”
” Shut up.”
” Why don’t you shut me up then?” He leans forward. ” With this…” his thumb pad car-ss my l-ips.
” Judah, please, Todd’s out there.”
” You know you don’t want him. Then why keep him?”
I hate it when people ask me that. I don’t even know why I’m dating Todd?
” Come over tonight, I wanna show you something.” Judah says.
” I can’t. I don’t want to. Judah stop doing this. I…”
” Serena.” I hear Todd’s voice as I move away from Judah at once. Judah huffs.
Todd walks into the bathroom as he looks between me and Judah. Judah glares at him at once.
” What are you… Judah?”
I’m baffled as I look between Todd and Judah. How did he know Judah?
……
I hope this is pretty long to make up for my absent yesterday. It’s unedited.
