♟️ TIME BETWEEN US ♟️

"Come back here bad âss bîtch!!" he race after her.

Calista laughed while trying to get away but Tristan grabbed her waist from behind, she twisted herself forcefully and her hand landed on his chest.

Tristan gets a good look at her face. Suddenly she shoved him, so hard that he lost his balance, but then he kicked her legs off the ground.

They both fall with her on top of him. It was as though the time had stopped as they both stayed down, staring directly into each other's eyes without blinking.

MEANWHILE

"What are they doing? Why aren't they getting up?" Tiffany asked.

"Let's watch and see," Brimsley replied.

Tiffany made to stand from their hiding place but Brimsley pressed her shoulder down, a big frown on his face.

"WTF" he scolded.

"Don't you dare yell at me, can't you see," Tiffany pointed towards them.

They were still laying there and staring at each other when suddenly, Calista rolled to the side.

Tristan chuckled.

"We should go," he mumbled and threw the sandball with him at a random corner.

It flew straight to Brimsley's forehead, knocking his feet off the floor and he fell with a heavy thud and then everything went blank.

Tiffany gasped.

"Brim, Brimsley! Brimsley can you hear me!" she asked, shaking him.

"Brimsley, wake up," she shook his body again but nothing happened.

She looked up Only to see the car they came with driving out of the area then she turned to Brimsley.

"Wake up, damnit!" She smacked him hard across the face.

Brimsley jumped.

"Who's running for Congress??" He shouted, looking around as though he was Crazy.

"Congress?" Tiffany frowned and then rolled her eyes.

"Let's go," she began walking away and he went after her.

"Where is the car?" He asked

>GAVIN AND GARRET<

"Dr. Is she gonna be alright?" Gavin asked worriedly.

His brother was also in the room and they both watched the doctor attend to Karan who was still unconscious.

"She's lucky I must say, if you hadn't seen her on time, I'm not sure what would have happened?" The Dr replied.

"She needs rest," he added.

"Does that mean she's out of danger?" Garrett asked and the doctor looked at him.

"Yes,"

"Thank you Dr, I will see you out," Gavin said

"No, stay with her. I will see him out," Garrett protested while placing a comforting hand on his shoulder.

Gavin looked at Karan before then at Garrett.

"Alright,"

5 minutes after they walked out of the door Gavin sat on the bed, he looked at her face before holding her hand.

She felt so tender in his stronghold.

he strokes her hair gently before leaning down to kiss her forehead, just before his lips can touch her skin, he pauses... With a second thought, he withdrew back.

>FLASHBACK<

"I tried to find you, but I failed, I guess going back to where I came from is the best..." she grasped her tummy in pain, wrestling with herself on the cold floor with Forms puffing out of her mouth.

"Karan," Gavin called from outside.

He'd followed her cos he wanted them to talk.

"Karan, are you alright?" He asked concerned.

He heard cries and grunts, his heart pounding. What if she was being taken advantage of? It was popular in this school so he shouldn't be surprised.

She was there's, he and his brother owned her, just that she doesn't know it.

He kicked down the door and his eyes widened at what he saw, she was nearly lifeless so he scooped her into his arms rushing out of the restroom instantly.

>>><<<

>MR. FELIX APARTMENT<

"See you on Monday," Tristan said, stopping at Calista's doorstep.

She nodded with a little smile.

"Never knew you could smile," he mumbled as he stuck both hands in his trouser pocket.

She poked his chest and he giggled.

He watched her go Into the house before smiling at himself as he walked back to his car.

>>><<<

Tristan is seen laying on his bed while facing the ceiling. He just finished having a warm bath.

The scene at the Ocean played on his head again, it was as though it was on a loop. He saw her eyes...

He rolled to the side taking his phone which was beside him. He went through his chat and added a new contact.

Tristan: Hey, it's me.

He waited for a few minutes before his phone buzzed.

Calista: You who?

Tristan: Guess Kitten.

Calista: Firecracker.

Tristan: HEY!!!!! 😒

Calista: Bite me 😏

Tristan: 😊

Tristan: wanna hang out tomorrow?

Calista: It's Saturday and we're not best friends so, no!

Tristan: how about the day after?

Calista: why do I feel like you're missing someone 😞

Tristan: on Monday? I heard you're not very good with maths, we can study together.

Tristan waited for a few minutes and got no response, he dropped his phone beside him. Suddenly, his phone buzzed and he quickly picked it up only to see a call from his father.

He hissed loudly then picked up.

"Come downstairs,"

>>><<<<

>NEXT DAY~~ NEVADA HIGH SCHOOL<

"Hey," Tiffany said softly.

Calista who was chatting with Gianna looked up at her. Tiffany dropped the books in her hand with a CD.

"I look into your request, I also need to study that's why I can't help you, here are some books that will boost your brain if you take them seriously, and watch this CD after reading, make sure to answer every question," Tiffany said, avoiding eye contact.

Calista smiled at her.

"Thank you," she replied

Meanwhile, Ashley and her friends were watching.

"Gosh, I can't wait to kick her out of this school," Ashley grumbled hatefully.

"How about we come up with a new strategy?" Betty asked

"I saw her yesterday with Tristan, do you think he's f**king her two?" Molly asked.

"What else? I just want to do away with her?" Ashley rolled her eyes.

Ashley stood up and her minions did the same. Walking past she knowingly bumped into Tiffany making her stagger back.

Tiffany totally ignored her, walking back to her seat as she settled down. She looked back to see Calista going through the books, she was still staring at her when Tristan came out from nowhere snatching it from her.

"Give it back," Calista said reaching for it but he moved back.

Tiffany clenched her fist tightly.

"I said give it back!" She reached for it again but he shifted back again.

"Why not come get it," he winked at her

With lightning speed, she launched at him. Tristan was prepared so, he took off.

Every in the class exchanged glances.

🗣️ Are they dating?

🗣️I doubt it, he's just f**king her.

🗣️ I knew it, I have always known there was something suspicious behind her act.

🗣️ So, she's one of his b*tches now?

🗣️ Why not?

OUTSIDE

"Tristan, If I get my hands on you, you're dead. You hear me? just prepare your funeral, do you hear me?" Calista shouted as she rested her hands on her knees, breathing heavily.

They'd run through the school field to the senior and junior hall, then to the back of the building.

"Thought you love exercise?" He asked and stopped to catch his breath too.

Damn, she's energetic!

She ignored him. Regaining her strength, Calista began walking away.

"The book," he shouted but she totally ignored him.

"Hey..."Tristan made to follow her but Lucian stood on his path. He looked at Calista's back view then at Tristan.

"Mind telling me what all this is all about?" He asked and Tristan hit his hand off his shoulder.

"Stop being nosey," he began walking away also.

>>><<<

>DISCIPLINARY ROOM<

"Brimsley, Can you do me a favor?" Peter asked.

Brimsley dropped the Mirror he was staring into, his face was red cos of the sand ball Tristan threw at him.

What exactly made him follow them there? How idiotic had he been to follow them around like their servant, watching them play like a couple?

"Couple my foot," he rolled his eyes then turned to Peter.

"What is it?" He asked.

"I wrote a letter to Ashley, would you help me give it to her?" He asked and Brimsley hissed.

"Do it yourself...."

"I don't have enough courage," he quickly cut in.

"Then build one," Brimsley jumped down the table, walking towards the door.

"Please, I pour my heart, souls and something came to my mind when I was writing it, it's special," Peter persuaded, pulling him back by his shirt.

Brimsley stared at him for a while then sighed. He opened his palm and Peter's face brightened as he quickly placed the white envelope in it.

"I know she's high over heels for you and since you don't like her just give it to her in my place," Peter said.

Brimsley ignored him, walking out of the room only to see Calista 8 feet away.

She looks angry, did something happen?

"Calista, wait up!" Brimsley Called out, jogging towards her just as she was about to go into the classroom.

She stopped and turned to look at him.

"I'm sorry," he lowered his head.

She was silent and confused, why was he apologizing?

"You said if the council find me wrong that I owe you an apology," he reminded her.

"Oh," she waves a dismissive hand.

"Have forgotten it long ago," she replied

"Really?"

"Yeah," she chuckled.

"So, friends???" He offered a friendship handshake.

She looked down at his hand before looking up at his face and then smiled.

"See you in class," she walked in.

Brimsley stood there watching her back view, as if possessed he turned around, heading towards another classroom.

In the next minute, Brimsley is seen with Tristan Inside the baseball court.

"Why do you wish to see me here?" Tristan asked, both hands stuck in his trouser pocket.

"What's with you and Calista Felix?" Brimsley asked

Tristan scoffed, he took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and began smoking.

"You think this is funny?" Brimsley stepped closer.

"I Know of your reputation and trust me, if you're doing this for money or to hurt her just stop now cos if you hurt her you will have me to deal with," Brimsley said with a warning tone.

Tristan took the cigarettes off his lips, puffing out smoke in the air.

"Since when do you care about my relationship..."

"This is not a relationship and I just need to prove it, you're not one to be in a relationship. I'm sure you're just taming just to f**k her, I'm going to prove it and save her from you," Brimsley fired, cutting him off.

He turned around to leave but Tristan said something that made him stop.

"Why? The last time I checked you're not related to her in any way,"

Brimsley didn't move, he stood there searching for the perfect answer. Now Peter was right when he called him stupid, he acted without thinking it through.

"As a disciplinary president, it is my duty to protect my subject from bugs like you!" Brimsley turned to him.

Tristan scoffed, he put down his cigarettes, stepping on it.

"Disciplinary president indeed!" He walked out.

>ONE WEEK LATER~~ MR FELIX HOUSE<

>EVENING<

Mike and Michelle were already in the dining when Calista joined them, her book in hand.

"Sweetie, you can study later, eat first," Mr Felix said but she shook her head negatively.

Having no other options, Mr Felix dished out her meal as she began eating, her eyes fixed on the book in her hand while she ate.

"Hmm," Calista suddenly took her eyes off the book, staring at the plate of Chilaquiles.

"Dad you made this? Never knew you can cook Mexican food, damn! it's delicious," she grabbed the bowl.

"Hey, you have to share!! Daddy, tell her to share?" Michelle complained.

"I'm not sharing anything," Calista replied Michelle launched at her and they began dragging the bowl.

"Girls, there is more from where that came from," a female voice said and they froze.

Both Calista and Michelle turned to see Ms Bronte walking out of their kitchen. Michelle bashed her lashes as she stared with an open mouth.

The lady was pretty!

"Who is she?" Calista asked.

"Who is this?" Michelle asked

They both asked at once while staring at their father.

"She's Bronte, my girlfriend, she wanted to meet y'all so I invited her over for dinner," Mr Felix replied.

"Girlfriend!" Calista didn't know when that left her mouth.

Michelle and Calista exchange glances before turning to Mike. Their heated gaze was too much for him to take in

"Emm, I think I dropped my fork," he bent down, crawling under the table.

"Bronte, these are the women in my life, This one is Calista, she's 18 and the mother of this house, this one is Michelle, she's 16 and crazy about boys. You already know Mike, the windshield breakers...."

"Dadddddd" Mike whinnied from under the table.

"Girls, I hope you all will get along. Mike come out now!" Mr Felix said, finishing the last part in a commanding tone.

Mike crawled out. He stared from Calista to Michelle, especially Calista whose expression was blank.

The table was awkwardly silent.

"Hi, guys... Emm, I dunno what to say," Ms Bronte looked from one person's face to another.

"Nice to meet y'all," she flashes a smile.

"Michelle..."

"She's pretty Daddy, she can teach me how to be prettier so, she's cool," Michelle took the bowl from Calista.

"Calista," Mr Felix called.

Without saying a word, Calista took her book and left the table, heading upstairs.

>ABOUNDED BUILDING<

Screams of pain filled the air as Ethan punched the guy in front of him, over and over again until he was tired.

He staggered back and then turned to his boys.

"Where is the tax?" He asked.

One of them came forward, handing him some cash.

"It's the collection I made in class C, one boy refused to pay and when I tried to force him, he bêât us up," The guy said but was rewarded with a slap.

"A f**king guy bêât you up and you let him? Are you that useless?" He spats.

"He's a transferred student and he knows karate," the other guy replied.

Ethan looked at him.

"Bring him to the restroom after school tomorrow, I will teach him a lesson myself," He said and walked away.

His boys followed while the students he just finished dealing with lay on the floor, groaning in pain.

<GAVIN AND GARRET<< p>

"Doctor, why isn't she waking up? She squeezed my hand," Gavin said concerned.

The doctor sighed.

"It's Involuntary muscle contraction, you need patience. With time she will wake up but that's not an assurance," the doctor replied.

Both brothers exchange glances.

"I will see you off," Garrett said leading him out

By the time he returned Gavin was reading Bleeding Love, a romance novel to her. He stayed calm, listening as Gavin switched voices.

"Do you think she can hear you?" He suddenly asked.

Gavin looked back then closed the book and stood up from her bedside.

"Are you sure she's the one?" He asked ignoring his brother's comment.

"Are you high?" Garrett asked.

"I'm just asking! I want to know who I'm caring for, okay? I don't want to waste my time caring for a random girl..."

"She's the one!!" Garrett yelled

"How will you know!!"

"I just know!" Garrett fired back

Gavin took a deep breath, fist clenched tightly.

"Why are you having doubt now? You saw her first, you said she was the one for us, so why this?" Garrett asked calmly.

Gavin ruffled his hair and looked at Karan.

"I'm just... I mean... I'm... What if I was wrong? What if she's not? Just what if?"

"Unbelievable," Garrett walked away.

>>><<<

>SAME EVENING~~ HOSPITAL<

A Doctor walked out of the ER after finishing surgery, he entered his office only to be greeted by a male figure.

The person was dressed in all black and his face was hidden.

"Where is she?" The person asked, standing to his feet.

The doctor walked fully inside.

"Where is who?"

With a swift move, the man grasped the doctor's neck, slamming his back against his desk before pulling him up and pinning him in mid-air.

"Please... Please I have Family," the doctor cried out.

"Where is she?" The man roared, his voice dangerous.

"Who??"

"The girl? 18 years ago, it's time to eliminate her completely,"

The doctor's eyes widened in shock. He'd clearly remembered being told to switch babies at birth.

"I can't remember where she is," the doctor began sobbing.

"You can and you Will. If you don't provide me the information of her whereabouts by this time tomorrow," the man paused with a chuckle.

"Just think of your pregnant wife and unborn child," he began walking away.

"No... No....not my family," The doctor panicked.

"Oh gwad, why did I switch those babies at birth, I should have rejected the offer? Where will I find her? I should have turned it down. Why did he appear now after all these years?!"
