[ ONE IN A MILLION ]

CAMBRIDGE HIGHSCHOOL**

👥Who's she?

👥Is she a new student?

👥Wait... I think she's Nora!

👥OMG it's Nora!

👥Why is she dressed like this? Is she planning to kill someone!

Students kept murmuring as Nora walked through the hallway dressed in all black, looking really viscous and evil.

"I'm happy that Nora gets to have a chance of style but why must it be a burial code?" Jade came to her locker to ask.

Nora looked at Jade with a smirk.

"Maybe because I'm planing to bury you" she replied.

"What?"

There was silence, Jade kept looking at her and blinking but Nora immediately forced a smile.

"I was joking"

"Thought so, I wanted to make peace with you for the sake of mom, how does that sound because I know you've always wanted it" Jade said after wards.

Nora still smiled.

"Cool" she replied and walked away and immediately her smile turned to a frown.

CLASSROOM**

When Nora stepped in, all eyes landed on her.

They began murmuring among themselves about her new looks.

Her eyes landed on Charlie who was sitting beside her and she began staring.

Charlie felt some gaze on her so she raised her head up to see Nora looking at her.

She smiled immediately.

"Nora, how are you feeling now I'm glad to see you in school" she said.

Nora also forced a smile to her and sat next to her.

"I'm here now, I'm better than ever" she simply replied.

"I'm glad, about last time...

"It's alright I agree that I can't stay at the top always do congrats, you earned it and about Declan, he chose you and I don't like him anymore" Nora cut Charlie off immediately.

"Are you sure?" Charlie asked and Nora nodded.

"Of course I am, take good care of Declan, lots of girls has their eyes on him" Nora added.

Charlie just smiled and nodded.

'That's right Charlie, smile all you want now but get ready to cry sooner' Nora thought as she smiled back at Charlie.

CLOSING HOUR**

Jade met Micah leaning against her locker and waiting for her.

She sighed and turned around to leave but he immediately went after her and grabbed her forearm, making her to face him.

"Let go!" She yelled.

"Why won't you hear me out first?" He asked back.

"Because I don't want to, it's not really hard is it?" She glared at him but he began grabbing her out of the school.

"Let me go!" Jade tried pulling herself away and Micah carried her in a bridal style instead.

Her arms were wrapped around his neck and he raised her up in such a away that her face was closer to his.

Jade wanted to yell again but seeing his close face, her mouth couldn't move.

"You're making me do things I've never imagined myself doing" he said in a whisper before he started moving.

Jade looked around, all eyes were on them, people were starting to murmur and take pictures.

👥Is that Micah and Jade?

👥Are they together?

👥OMG! They look so cute!

👥The way he looks so dominant as he has her in his arms!

👥I can't stop looking!

Jade hid her face on Micah's chest and he carried her to his car, locked it and put on the black screen so no one outside could see them no matter how close they look.

"Will you listen to me in here?" He asked.

"Do I have any choice?" Jade scoffed and looked elsewhere.

"Let me guess, Elijah told you about a girl I once dated named August and how he fûcked her in my room, on the bed we slept together and he told you I wanted revenge by using you?" He asked.

"Well is he wrong?" Jade scoffed.

"Do you think he's right about it? Do you think I would actually use you? That kiss in the studio, do you think it was all a joke?" He answered her own question with another question.

"Well how am I supposed to know, you're Elijah's step brother and Elijah has cheated on me countless of times, he has lied to me and who knows maybe is a genetic problem, each time Elijah tells a lie to my face he looks so sincere and so..." She bit her lips hard.

"Jade I'm not Elijah, I'm me, do you think I'll lie to you?" He asked the same question again.

"I don't know okay! I don't even know you that way!! I don't know who to trust I don't know why I fall so easily, I'm so stùpid I.."

Micah immediately leaned closer her her, he captured her lips in a soft way, kissing and nibbling on her lips with so much care and tenderness.

After a while, he pulled away and stared deep into her eyes.

"Do you think this was a lie?" He asked, his brown eyes piercing deep into her grey eyes.

Jade's eyes turned wet.

"You're putting me in a really tight spot" she said.

"I should tell you that too and you called yourself stùpid for falling for me because you barely know me? Then we are both stùpid because I barely know you and I'm madly in love with you... Fûck it!" He cursed and looked elsewhere.

"You mean that?" Jade asked.

"I'm not lying, I liked you from the first day we talked in that concert, somehow I knew there was about you and when I saw your face after Elijah attacked you, I knew I have a soft spot for you, it was something I couldn't deny and damn Jade! I just...

Jade moved closer to him and pecked his lips,he held her waist and deepened the kiss really hard when he pulled away they were painting heavily.

"If I give you a chance to be with me? Will you hurt me and will you make me cry?" She asked in a tiny voice.

Micah brought his hands to caress that cheeks.

"I promise you that I won't let one single tear drop fall from those pretty eyes" he said and she smiled.

"So... Are you gonna ask me or not?" She asked shyly.

"Ask what?" Micah looked slightly confused.

Jade gave him a look and he got it immediately.

"Right, will you be my girlfriend?" He asked slowly.

"Yes I will" she replied immediately and Micah grabbed her, he made her sit and straddled him on his lap.

"So we are official?" He asked.

"Yes" Jade chuckled and he captured her lips again.

They began kissing passionately and dangerously pressing their bodies against eachother.

DECLAN'S PLACE**

Charlie immediately threw herself on Declan's arms the moment he stepped in.

"I miss you" she pouted.

"Me too" he pecked her lips and they both went in.

"I'm spending the night here today" he said after they had both settled down.

"Really?" Charlie asked excitedly and he nodded.

"That's good news, are you hungry I'll be the one to make dinner tonight, freshen up, I'll be in the kitchen" Charlie stood up and rushed out of the room.

Declan sighed and ruffled his hair before entering the bathroom, he came out all dressed in a light tee shirt and joggers.

He met Charlie cooking happily and he came to hug her from behind.

"Love" he nibbled on her ears.

"Wait I'm cooking" Charlie giggled.

"I have something to tell you" he whispered and Charlie turned to look at him.

Declan placed his hands behind her to turn off the cooker.

"Kiss me first" he said.

"Huh?" Charlie looked at him.

"Please" he pouted.

Charlie tiptoed to his height and placed her lips on his for few seconds before pulling away.

Declan leaned closer to her, he captured her lips for while before pulling away.

"I'll be traveling tomorrow, our band are going on a two weeks tour" he said and Charlie face slowly fell.

"It just came up today and I thought I should tell you" he said slowly.

A silent gasp escaped Charlie's mouth and she nodded.

"Okay" she said simply before excusing herself from him.

"Charlie" he followed her and held her hand.

"What!?" She turned to look at him in anger.

"You're not always around, we don't spend time together, I don't feel you, I don't even feel your presence around me, you're not always here with me!" She said, trying to stop her tears.

"Charlie" Declan moved closer to her and pulled her for a tight hug.

"I promise Charlie after this one, I won't make you feel alone again" he whispered.

Charlie shut her eyes tight and let her tears flow freely.

"I'm sorry" Declan kissed her forehead and pulled away.

He cupped her cheeks and wiped her tears.

"I'm sorry too, I shouldn't have burst out like that, I understand that you have other responsibilities to do since you have millions of fans to entertain" she muttered.

"You will always be my one in a million Charlie" he replied before leaning closer to capture her lips on his own.
