Tara couldn't explain exactly how she felt.She was happy that Julian told her what happened but she was also angry that he said nothing about his family.
"I bet his family is far from ordinary".Tara said to herself
It was nighttime and she was finding it extremely hard to sleep.
Her mind just kept on bringing up lewd thoughts.
"Shut up" She buried her face in her pillow.
He was so close to seeing her breasts and ultimately taking her virginity.
"Will it be ok? If he is my first".She unconsciously rubbed the bruise like mark on her neck.
Next day
"Hey".Julian smirked.He noticed she was wearing a hoodie.
"Hey".Tara replied.She could not help that everytime she saw him,the scene of him taking off his shirt popped in her mind.Yesterday was still fresh in her mind.
"It's finally that time, huh?".Julian said as they walked into the school building.
"Yeah, Holidays". Tara's eyes twinkled
"Just gotta attend the last assembly of the school term and we're off".Julian said as they walked to the auditorium.
"Julian".Tara looked at him and glanced in front of her.
"Oh shit, totally forgot" He said."I'm not featuring in your damn paper!" He shouted so everyone would hear him.
Tara inwardly sighed."Does he have to go that far?"
She shook her head as he flashed a smile before leaving.
She decided to stop by her class until the bell went off.
She walked in and saw maxim and Leyla making out.
"Oh,I'm sorry".She said and quickly ran out.
"You should be!".She heard Leyla say but ignored it.
"Don't go in there".She whispered to Daniel who looked like he was heading to class.
"Why?"
"They're making out"
"Thanks".He said before turning around.
"Aren't you attending the assembly?".Tara asked before he left
"Yeah,just waiting for the bell"
"Mind if I tag along?"
"Yeah,I guess".He said after a while
"Where are you heading?"
"The library".He said softly
They didn't enter the library before the bell went off.Screams and cheers echoed round the building.
"Wow".Tara marvelled at how much noise everyone was making.
"Last year's was way louder than this" He chuckled."Go ahead, I'll catch up"
"Okay".Tara replied as she headed to the auditorium.
The announcement was brief so as not to upset the students.They all grinned from ear to ear,most of them were not even listening.
"That is all,You may —".The principal didn't finish her sentence before they all ran out of the auditorium.
"Where's everyone going to?".Tara noticed the students heading back to their class.
"Tara". Eddie shouted through the crowd.
"What's up?".She asked meekly.She felt weird in his presence,she had no idea what he must have gone through.She felt guilty for not been there with him.
"You seem lost".He said
"Yes, Aren't they all supposed to go home?".
"Yes but not now.You see,The students of this college are crazy for holidays.Immediately after the principal's speech,they head to the classes and plan a list of activities for the holiday"
"Like what?"
"Like pool parties,Truth or dare games,Food fights".Eddie explained
"Where do all these happen?".Tara asked as they exited the building.
"The popular people host the parties".
"Is everyone invited?"
"No, each grade has their activities and special events"
"And everyone's invited in our grade.Well, everyone except him". Eddie pointed to Daniel who was already heading home.
"Why isn't he invited?". Tara asked with a look of shock.
"He's famously single"
