Obsession

Chapter 6

SAGE POV

'Ugh.' I flop down on my bed, all hot and bothered. I can't stop thinking about him and his forward thinking ways. He's such an arrogant piece of shit. He knows damn well how attractive he is but I'm not going to give in.

I feel myself drifting off after a long shift at work when my phone starts to buzz in my pocket.

Unknown:

Did you rethink my offer?

I automatically know who it is. Saving the number, I ask:

Sage:

How did you get my number?

Asshole

I'm a man of many talents

Sage

Is that so?

Asshole

You wanna find out?

That's the second time he's made me smile today. He's such a dick though and arrogant and a jerk and I shouldn't like him! I don't like him...

Sage

Not in a million years.

Good night Jerk

Asshole

Good night sexy!

Ugh I need to get Micah off my mind!

The envelope lands on the wooden floor at the door and I rush to go grab it before anyone else.

'I'll be in my room.' I shout out quickly, rushing up the stairs and slamming my bedroom door before anyone can reply.

'Okay Sage. It's fine. Whatever is in here, you can just retake it again in the fall.' I mentally prepare myself. Before I open the envelope, I text Theia.

Sage:

Do you want to come over and open your grades with me?

Whenever I text Theia to come round, she tends to just come right round without replying, so I'm sat waiting for my bedroom door to swing open. A few seconds later my phone buzzes.

Theia:

I'm not feeling too good. I'll text you later

Hmm, that's weird! I'll check in with her later. Anyway, back to my results. I breathe out and then rip the envelope open.
