Love Grows In The Dark by Eli Lowe (ebook offline txt) 📗

But he couldn't speak a single word over Kazan. Because no one dares to mess with this arrogant guy. Even if someone does unknowingly, he or she never gets to beg for mercy, as Kazan makes sure of that.

So, realizing that the situation is not going to be any better, I spoke up.. at last..

“Yeah, I know I don't like her either, but if I ask myself why...only because she is the only one who has the strength and courage to stand against us?” And that's why I even admire her the most irrespective of my dislike towards her.

I mean, I remember her when we were kids. And she was like someone who could easily stand out among the crowd and I used to like her very much when I first saw her.

But I don't know from when I started to hate her. No, it wasn't because of the incident that happened to her pack, but for the fact that she has changed. She never thinks twice to humiliate someone, like what she did today.

“I really feel pity for whoever her mate would be.” Adrian scoffed.

“And why is that?” I asked instantly.

“Can't you see? I mean who would like someone like her? Is she even a girl?” Lizzie said in her nasal voice as soon as she made her way to us only to be all clingy on me. 'Now this is what a bitch looks like' I wanted to say.

You see,... She is someone who can do anything to get into the pants of all the boys in our school.

“I can even bet that she would definitely get rejected right after she finds her mate.” She even dared to say that while grinding her busty boobs on my arm like some leech, making me gag in disgust. I don't know why we even tolerate her.

“I don't think so.” I said, making myself free from that slut with a jerk, as quickly as possible.

“ Ha ha.. Don't tell me you like her. Do you?” Adrian's laugh seemed a cruel one to me. I don't know why.

“None of your business.” I didn't bother to say much as I gave a stern look at them, making them shut their nasty mouth.

“Such a waste of time.” I heard Kazan this time. His face was as expressionless as ever, as if he doesn't care about anything in the world. Neither did he bother to stay any longer with us to be part of such discussion, as he made her way out of our sight in no time, without a word. I never got to understand him, as he never shows what he actually feels. Or does he even feel anything? I never saw him justifying to anyone for his actions. Never.

Whatever.

After Kazan left, I stayed with the two for some time, only to listen to their shits. And then I saw her again.

Summer.

She was waiting for someone outside the school, I guess. Each and every time when I see her, I see strength and power only, nothing else, no emotions..., reminding me again why I don't like her.

I don't know for how long I was staring at her, because she looked back at me too with her olive-green eyes, once. As if she had caught me looking, but never bothered to keep her eyes on me much longer, and turned her gaze to somewhere else.

I don't know why, but I felt a sudden pang on my heart.

Another reason for me to admire her.

You see, the whole school dies for my little attention, and here is the one and only Summer who treats me like some shit.

Popularity never effects her anyway, unlike others.

“Hey, Mark... Are you even listening?” Lizzie's fake nasal voice, pulled me out of my thoughts. That moment I realized, I could even get lost only by looking at someone, and which is bad...a very bad and dangerous thing for me.

I kept saying to myself.. 'Not her. Don't even think'... But no matter how much I repeated that in my mind, I found myself drawn to her again,... to Summer.

Not a single word fell to my ears whatever Adrian and Lizzie were talking about. I kept zoning out while keeping my eyes on Summer from a distance... until I saw her leaving with Kaith.

Again I don't know why... but seeing her close with Kaith didn't make me feel better. I found myself frowning for no reason.

So without worrying about Lizzie and Adrian, I turned my way from them, as I didn't feel like staying there anymore.

“Hey..! Where are you going?” I heard Adrian from behind.

“Home.”

Summer's P. O. V

“What took you so long?” I asked Kaith impatiently, as I had to wait like an eternity, even after the school hours.

And for that, I even had to see those faces again to make my day even more unlucky.

“Sorry... I was caught up with something.” He said in between his breaths, as he came to me running all the way.

Maybe he was afraid that I will beat him up for making me wait this long.

Tsk, poor Kaith.

But cute.

I rolled my eyes, putting on a light smile on my face for his effort.

“Anyway, listen... You go back home and take my bike... Here.” Kaith handed me the keys all of a sudden.

“What? Why? I don't understand.” I asked, as I was confused.

“I have to stay longer... teacher wants me to help him out with some papers. So, I'll be late. That's why, you take the bike.” Kaith explained as quickly as he could.

“Umm... Well.. It's no need. And I also wanted to tell you that I am not coming with you today. That's why I was waiting.” I said.

“You have somewhere else to go? Take the bike. You will be quick.” He insisted.

“No, actually
