Prelude

As a girl dreaming and hoping for a future that involves love, family and matchless love, Janice starts her journey.

Chapter 1

 "Get up and get ready for school", shouted Mrs.Owens. Mrs.Owens a well built women well into her forties, was a nurse and a certified midwife. She had worked all her life to support her family and provide them with all that they needed and more. Resigning her job to take care of her sick father, was the difficult thing that she had to do. She was the only one whose income supported the whole family.

 

"Before you leave for school, scrub the floors and wash the dishes, Janice", she roared at Janice, who was now wide awake in her bed at 5AM. A dark haired, hour-glass shaped figure, Janice was 13yrs old and well-mannered. As any other teenager she too had many dreams, expectations and desires in life. Every morning she would be jolted to reality by her mother's shouts to get her do the chores, while her younger sibling, younger by only 1.5yrs, enjoyed greatly.

 

Yep she had to get things done else she would have to listen to more of her mother and that is not something she enjoyed.

 

Janice lightly jumped off the bed she shared with her sister and proceeded to do her daily routine. Then quickly move to ground floor, as their rooms were in the first floor, to complete her chores. In no time she was done with her chores. She had time enough to get ready for her school and get to the bus stop to catch her ride to school. Janice enjoyed school, she had not many friends, but she was away from home and her mother's frustrated shouts at her to get her to do things. She had her own imaginary world.

 

School bus dropped them off just in time for the morning assembly. So Janice hurried to her class to keep her book bag. She noticed there were guys in the other class and they were looking at her. They were bad boys, but she liked the attention she was getting. She purposely swayed her hips and catwalked to the classroom behind them, placed her bag and swayed her hips back out of the classroom to the assembly hall.

 

Assembly was over in a jiffy and the bell rang for first hour.

 

She loved school, she thought. Yes she could stare at all the handsome guys who she will never talk to while they talk and enjoy with the hot girls of the school. First hour was Chemistry, the teacher walked in and bellowed st the class for a nw session. All the different elements, compounds, her head was zooming at it all and working to solve equations faster than others in class. She just loved it!!! The bell rang signalling for Gym class.

 

Everyone started to pull out of the classroom to leave for the grounds, suddenly someone grabbed her hands and covered her mouth. They pulled her behind the door. She was panting and stood still, as she realized it was a guy, since his was poking her ass. She did not know what to do. She was not a very brave or bold girl at that, she was a shy, reserved, dreamy girl.

 

"you smell really nice today", a sexy voice said behind her. she stiffened even more. Million thoughts buzzing through her head, "Is this how rape happens?", "Oh God what am i suppossed to do?" She tried to kick him and hit him with her elbow but she missed. He caught her and turned her to face him in one swift move.

Chapter 2

 The classroom was empty, everyone had left for the grounds except for her and this guy, whom she was facing now.

Janice could not believe her eyes who he was, holding her so close to him.

 

Their eyes met and immediately, she looked away from the one and only guy she had a crush for so many years of her school life, was holding her in his arms.

 

She felt faint, her heart was beating an innumerable miles per hour, thoughts zooming in her mind "will I get my first kiss? oh c'mon be real he is the hearthrob of the class and maybe even the school why would he? then why did he hold me?"

 

Amidst all the cofnusion and heat, Slaten's voice cut thorugh. "Hey babe, look at me".

 

She turned her face to him but could not look into his eyes.

Putting his finger under her chin he lifted her face to his, "this is it", she thought.

 

she still could not look into those mesmerizing brown eyes of his.

 

Slaten was tall, dark hair, played the guitar, good in grades and an awesome basketball player.

Girls drooled and wanted to be his girlfriend. But he never gave them another thought, "then why is he holding me? am I special to him?".

 

"Don't worry am not going to hurt you. I just wanted to talk to you."

 

"ok"

 

Still holding her in his arms and his face so close to hers, he said,

"I have been watching you for many years now."

 

At this her eyes looked straight into his, to see if he was being genuine and true.

She could see that he was saying the truth.

 

Her heart melted and she could not take it anymore and she smashed her lips to his. He tightened his grip around her waist and held her head lightly and passionately kissed her back.

 

Her first kiss, from her one and only love, Slaten Rush. It was such a rush.

He separated them both huffing for air.

 

"I guess that means you will be my girlfriend." and he kissed her passionately again.

Both rushed out of the classroom giggling and holding hands to the grounds were the rest of the class was.

 

Guys looking at them both holding hands shouted, "Wooohoooo!!!".

 

Girls glared at her, but some of them came to her and hugged her tight and congratulated her. Some ven warned her of Slaten being a player.

It all fell on deaf ears, as she was beaming and glowing on the inside.

 

Her one true love, Slaten, came for her. She was on cloud nine.

 

The rest of the day was a blurr for Janice as she kept replaying what happenned between them in her head.

 

Slaten kept winking at her and touching her cheeks and hands every time he passed her way in class, which he almost did in every class.

 

They sat at the oppossite corners of the class and he purposely came all the way to collect a book fromone of his friends in this corner of the class.

 

All this sudden attention was causing some red flags to go off in Janice's mind, but her heart was under control. She let it.

The day zoomed to an end with the final bell for the day.

 

She was packing her bags and was about to walk out of the classroom, when suddenly she was pulled back by a strong hand at her waist.

She blushed and covered her face, as the entire class saw this.

 

Slowly she opened her eyes and girls were giggling. She slowly let her eyes pass over the class and she was shocked.
