MEILIN’S REBORN (Battle Of The Heart And Throne)

G&N ROOM**

The door kicked open and Gianna stepped in with Zachary’s book on her face.

“Anna where were you, look what I….

Nevaeh paused and frowned.

“What are you doing with that book? I thought your mom told you to stop using your money to buy novels?” She scolded.

“It’s not mine,” Gianna replied.

“Really?” Nevaeh asked in a tone that said she didn’t believe her one bit.

“Hmm, I stole it from that new guy,” she replied.

“Angie?”

“Not the other one that you are afraid of,” she replied.

Nevaeh gasped and covered her mouth with her palms.

“What if he comes here to take it, he’s so scary” she said fearfully.

“What are you even afraid of, he doesn’t look scary to me” Gianna shrugged.

“That’s because you are too naive, hurry up and return it back before he….

A knock sounded at the door and Nevaeh gasped.

“It’s him, I’m in the bathroom” she said and rushed to lock herself in the bathroom.

Gianna chuckled and stopped up.

“Nevaeh Zung you’re a coward! You can fight and hit guys but when you see a stronger one you chicken out!!” She yelled and walked to the door.

She opened it and it was a girl.

“Hi,” the girl waved.

“Hello” Gianna waved too.

“The electricity supply burnt my girly curly so I thought I could borrow yours since we stay next to each other” she said, pointing to her room that was beside Gianna’s room.

“Oh okay” Gianna smiled and rushed in, she searched her wardrobe and brought out her girly curls.

She handed it to the girl and the girl let out a thankful smile.

“Thanks I’ll return it tomorrow” she thanked me and rushed to her room.

Gianna smiled, she wanted to close the door but the book flew off from her hands.

She gasped in surprise as she stared at it before shaking her head back to earth.

“Hey where do you think you’re going, come back here!!” She chased after it.

Luckily no one was outside to see what was happening.

The book flew down the stairs and Gianna chased after it.

It flew past the gym and she still chased after it.

“This is annoying!!” She tried jumping and catching it but it kept flying higher.

Finally the book got to the male locker room and hit the door.

Zachary immediately opened it and the moment he did that the book entered along with Gianna who bumped into his bare chest.

That’s right, he was shirtless.

She stared at his chest and her gaze fell on the dragon tattoo.

“Tattoo” she smiled and brought her hands to touch it but he cought her hands and used it to pull her closer to him.

Their nose almost touched.

“I want to kill you,” he said.

“But….” She asked, starting into his eyes as if he was saying rubbish.

“I will just leave you for now, if you cross my path again I will kill you” he replied and pulled away.

He held her by the head and pushed her out of the bathroom then locked the door.

“Hey!!” She yelled and began hitting the door.

“How dare you push me away like that, is that how to handle girls in your street?” She asked and scoffed when there was no reply.

She slowly left the door and began leaving the locker room, walking like a zombie that didn’t have any stamina.

“What now?” She asked herself then an idea popped up in her head and she smiled.

“No one is here, I can sneak out to the bookstore and read their novel” she muttered.

She giggled to herself and immediately rushed out of the school.

****

Nevaeh came out of the bathroom when she didn’t hear any more noise.

“Anna? Where did she go? Did he kidnap her?” She asked herself as she stepped out fearfully.

“Anna is right, I’m a coward when I see bigger guys I run now he has carried her, I better go find her and save her” she said and rushed out of the room.

She got out and began searching the whole compound.

She searched the park and the gym.

She searched the hall, the cafeteria, the school fun lounge.

But she didn’t find her.

“Anna” she called and looked up.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“It remains the boys hostel” she muttered and breathed before going there.

The first room she went to was Jett’s room, she kicked the door open as she entered.

Jett who was playing games with Colton immediately looked up thinking it was Zachary but it was Nevaeh.

“Flat a*s” he called.

“Where’s Gianna?” She asked.

“Why would I know that?” He asked back.

“Is she here or not?” She asked again.

“No” Colton replied and she went out.

She went to the next room and kicked it open, what followed next was a loud scream.

“Ouch!!”

When she kicked the door, it actually hit Elvis who was about to go out.

“Oops” she muttered.

“Why did you do that?” He asked and Nevaeh scratched her head.

“Sorry I was looking for my friend but it seems like she’s not here” she replied and slowly closed the door then opened it back.

“Is that Angie?” She asked when she saw him sitting on the bed and opening his eyes.

“Is he okay?” She asked, wanting to move inside but Elvis blocked her way.

“Can you just go, no one is allowed to disturb his high.. I mean Angie” he blinked.

“Oh” Nevaeh nodded and slowly stepped out with a smile.

She closed the door and walked out.

She came out of the boys hostel with a sigh, just where Gianna ran off too.

“Where else could she have gone too or did she?…”

Just as she was about to reason, she bumped into him.

He was coming opposite her.

“Oh no” she gasped silently.

Zachary’s eyes darkened as he stared at her.

Finally the girl he has been looking for is here, alone, alive and intact.

He began moving closer to her while she began shifting backwards.

“What do you.. want from me?” She asked fearfully.

His face showed no emotions as he moved closer to her then his eyes began turning red.

“Your… Your eyes” she said fearfully but he didn’t mind.

“Who the hell are you?” She asked, still moving back.

“Find the answer in your afterlife” he replied and she turned around and began running immediately.

Zachary raised his hands up and a strong force pushed out of it, it went straight to Nevaeh and began dragging her towards him.

She tried struggling but it seemed like her body was tied together.

She finally got to him and he held her neck tight, squeezing it hard, really hard.

Her feet up in the air, her hands were struggling to push his hand off her neck but the boy didn’t bulge.

As seconds passed, he added more pressure to it that blood was coming out of her mouth already.

She shut her eyes tight then opened it and a teardrop fell from it.

“Pl… ease” she managed to speak but he added more pressure to it.

More tears fell from her eyes, her legs kept dangling, her hands kept trying to push his hands off but nothing.

Nothing was working, the more she struggled the more he added more pressure.

“Anna, I’m sorry” she muttered before her hands dropped and her eyes closed.

BOOKSTORE**

Gianna walked inside the bookstore again but couldn’t find the cashier.

“Where is she?” She muttered and looked left and right.

It looks like no one was there, that means she’s free, she’s free to do whatever she wants.

She jugged to the bookshelf immediately and took the book.

“Dear book, how I wish I have the money to buy you but I don’t, don’t worry I’ll still read you” she smiled and began opening the book.

“What chapter did I stop at, I think it’s chapter one hundred and… No two hundred and, oh there it is” she smiled when she saw her current chapter.

She stopped after they had crowned Xia Chuyun as the crown princess. She brought out her phone with full determination that she’ll take the picture of all the chapters this time.

She went to her camera roll and began snapping the pictures of each chapter.

Twenty minutes had passed by and she was still on business not knowing that the door was opened and the cashier had already come back in.

The casher creased her brows and walked to her then dropped at her front but the novel freak still didn’t notice this.

“What do you think you’re doing?” The casher flared up.

Gianna’s phone fell from her hands and she looked up fearfully.

“Oh no” she muttered.

“What the hell do you think you’re doing?” The cashier asked again.

Gianna didn’t know what to say, she kept blinking as she stared at her.

“I… I … It’s not what you think” she lied.

“What do I think then?” The cashier crossed her arms.

“I.. look a thief” Gianna yelled and the cashier turned back, she used that opportunity to begin running immediately.

“That little brat!” The cashier seethed and chased after her.

She got outside but Gianna had gotten a bit far.

“Don’t let her get away, she’s a thief!!” The cashier shouted and young men selling in the small shops at the corner of the street all came out and began chasing after her.

Gianna’s heart kept beating fast as she kept running, she was short but her legs began moving fast today.

Unluckily for her, her shoelace got loose and she tripped on it… Again!!

She fell down and her face landed hard on the ground, when she raised her head she felt blood dripping out of it.

It feels like she was going to pass out, she wishes to pass out but it seems like it didn’t want to happen this time.

Slowly she raised her hands to touch her head and her white palms were covered with her blood.

“What have I gotten myself into?” she whispered silently.
