Finding Us

2

The cracking of muscles was heard in the silence of the room. Sage snapped her eyes in horror and looked over. Her eyes seethed in fury when she saw Gideon sitting across from her.

"What the fuck are you doing here?"

"Well... Well... What are you doing here, sweetie? Didn't you hear the last bell?" Sage's expression changed into horror before she masked it off.

"Does it matter? Why are you sitting here?"

"Tsk... It does matter when they close the doors and you have to walk a mile to reach the Eagle's castle."

Sage rolled her eyes while she started panicking inside. She got her damn period and she didn't want to walk a mile. She packed her belongings, which were spread out on the table.

Gideon's eyes sparked with interest when he watched the girl pack her things hurriedly. Sage stood up from her seat and was ready to dash out when her eyes widened. She looked down at her wrist to see fingers wrapped around it. She immediately shifted her gaze to see Gideon watching her in amusement.

"What?!" She barked at him. Her mood swings are taking a toll and she can't stand Gideon.

"Miele, aren't you forgetting something?" There was a touch of sarcasm.

"Other than kicking your balls if you don't remove your filthy hand off me?" Sage rose her brow.

Gideon smirked, liking the fury on Sage's face. "Kinky?" I like that... He whispered under his breath but Sage heard it.

"You don't need your logging gadget? Wouldn't your followers get upset if you didn't post your daily vlogging?" Gideon said in sarcasm.

Sage looked at his side to see her camera and gimbal. She was recording when she fell asleep. Grunting her teeth, she wandered over and took the camera and gimbal while Gideon laughed.

Sage started walking towards the door. When she came in, there were kids doing their work on their iPads and laptops. Now everyone must've returned to their buildings or old castles while she slept. She wondered why, in the hell, Gideon showed up.

Gideon leaned back in his seat watching Sage go. A smirk started playing as he watched her ass and the way her brown hair bobbed as she walked. She put on a beige butterfly clip holding half of her hair.

He tapped his finger on the table, thinking about her. He had known her since middle school. He hated her. They were in the same class but things changed and he was put in the 'B- Section.'

He didn't understand why she was the 'sunshine girl'. Always happy, extra happy and extremely loud. So he teased her and saw how she would snap out of her anger. How she would fist her tiny hands when he threw harmless insults. He didn't feel bad because she threw insults back at him. He liked that version of Sage.

He never stopped playing and teasing Sage. Growing up, he realized hate is a strong word to use for someone. He didn't hate her, he didn't like that she was so extroverted and friends with everyone. Standing up from the chair, he started running to catch up with Sage. She had left the reading room.

Sage shivered when the cold air hit her. She forgot her jacket and now when she tries to walk fast, the cramps are hitting her hard in her abdomen. She felt someone running behind her and she didn't have to turn around to see who it was.

Soon, Gideon started walking beside her. "You aren't recording a video of you going home?"

She closed her eyes and didn't comment anything. "Maybe you should show some skin. I bet people would die to see your daily vlogs."

"Uncles who comment on your video are expecting you in bikinis, you know. You never post those videos. You should do that and see how the numbers will go up." Gideon knew he was crossing his line, but heck, it doesn't matter to him when it is Sage. He wants Sage to snap at him. He hadn't seen her since morning. And without fighting with her, he couldn't have a peaceful sleep.

"What happened? Are you taking my suggestion into consideration?"

Sage had enough. She was happy that the service gates hadn't closed. "Your ass would do a wonderful job."

'That's it.'

Sage stopped and fisted her hand around the gimbal. She used it as a weapon and slapped it on Gideon's cheek. It hit perfectly and hard. Gideon hissed when it hit his nose.

"Maybe I will post your hairy butt the next time and your stupid girls would automatically like, comment and share the video!"

Gideon smirked, looking at the flushed Sage in anger. "Asshole."

Sage started running towards the gates. She doesn't want to get caught after hours. Gideon didn't run after her. "Fuck, that was a good one." He rubbed the spot.

Sage took a nice bath and now lay on her stomach as she watched the Money heist. Aria, Rhett, Indigo, Nash and Florie went to the party while she stayed behind.

She is having the worst cramps and running a while ago just worsened the situation. Thankfully, her mum sent a ton of snacks when she was coming to school. "Awe, mommy, I miss you."

She planned to edit her videos for YouTube. She started her YouTube channel three months ago and now she has around 10,000 followers. She doesn't show her face but posts the random shit she does on an average day. She had no idea her one video that she posted for fun would gain followers and half a million views.

She decided to continue when she got a paycheck from Youtube. Revenue was generated and she made the decision to do vlogging. She doesn't have to worry about pocket money anymore. That would make her feel less guilty about asking her mum for money every month.

Her phone pinged continuously. She picked it up and opened Instagram to see her friends sending her photos and videos. She chuckled and sent the text. Before she got a Twitter notification. She groaned, knowing too well who it was. She opened Twitter to see Gideon's tweets.

@SageBaker "Wondering where the sunshine is? Do you know where sunshine is?"

10:16 pm

@SageBaker "My bad, the party started because there's no sunshine🤔."

10:34 pm

@SageBaker "Realised the parties are always lit when there's no sun or sunshine🥳🤪."

She rolled her eyes, knowing he was referring to her. She doesn't understand why he hates her with passion.

@GiedonJames "The parties are so lit without sunshine that you are typing away on Twitter.🤔🥱

Sage threw the phone away and continued watching her series, unknown of the things that were happening at the party.
