The Unfamous (Book 1): Chapter 24
:::Chapter 24::: Georgia’s green eyes darkened to a murky swamp hue as she forced herself to stand. There was no way she was going to allow herself to get intimidated by me, after all, who was I to be intimidated by? I was no one. I was nothing. I smirked watching the globs of puke dribble down her dress and wondered how even in this dishevelled state she could still manage to carry herself as...
The Unfamous (Book 1): Chapter 22
:::Chapter 22::: Carter pulled into the Herring student parking lot, his flashy truck outshining every other car effortlessly. In a way Carter’s truck was a lot like him; it had that flawless swagger that just made you stop and stare, but if you got too close, it could destroy you. By making this stupid deal with him I had given Carter the power to destroy me and in the back of my mind I knew...
The Unfamous (Book 1): Chapter 21
:::Chapter 21::: I had switched my boyfriend jeans for black wet look leggings teamed with a pair of my fiercest River Island heels, and Tyson’s ‘Wet Dreams’ jumper was exchanged for a black lace top over a simple black bra. I had quickly smudged my eyelids with my Gosh kohl eye pencil and looked half-decent enough to meet Jade ‘tie-me-up- Washington. Carter and I were racing down the M1 in his...
The Unfamous (Book 1): Chapter 20
:::Chapter 20::: Carter watched me thoughtfully from the doorway with that unsettling enigmatic smile that gave away nothing looking like a poster from WordUp! Magazine. His skin was the colour of a Wether’s Original, with a complexion that actually made me jealous. Carter wasn’t one of those pretty boys that girls automatically fell for but he was handsome enough and his swagger was definitely...
The Unfamous (Book 1): Chapter 19
:::Chapter 19::: It was the week before uni was ending for the Christmas holidays and my flat was buzzing with excitement. The girls and I had decided that before we all headed home we would throw a mini Christmas party in the kitchen and invite a select few people that we had gotten to know over the past term. I invited Tyson who had decided that Angelica should join us as well. I didn’t...
The Unfamous (Book 1): Chapter 18
:::Chapter 18::: I had finally done it. I had finally pushed Tyson’s heart far enough from me that he no longer had the reserved sign tapered across it anymore. After years of gathering dust on the shelf, he had taken it down and was offering it to someone else. I wanted to be happy for him and in time I would be, but for now I wanted to mourn my loss; not only my loss of my best friend’s heart...
The Unfamous (Book 1): Chapter 17
:::Chapter 17::: I was currently sat at a desk behind a shelf of books in the economics section of the Brompton university library, buried deep in the back where hardly any students lurked, pretending that I was deeply engrossed in a book on physics. I didn’t even take physics but it was the first book I could grab on my way in. My notebook lay open on the cheap wooden tables that had been...
The Unfamous (Book 1): Chapter 16
:::Chapter 16::: Early Saturday afternoon after braving the cold for over an hour just to get here, the girls and I were strolling fabulously through ‘The City’ in Eastpark sipping prudently at our steaming styrofoam cups of Starbucks hot chocolate. They didn’t really taste all that great but we had already forked out damn near £5 to drink one so they were getting drunk even if it killed us....
The Unfamous (Book 1): Chapter 15
::: Chapter 15 ::: I clicked on the pending friend requests that had built up over the past two days on my Facebook page; accepting people that I knew or knew of and the cute guys, and rejecting the hard-back men that actually had the cheek to think that they had a shot – that’s not even me thinking I’m too spice, that’s just life. Any girl you ask that isn’t half past desperate rejects the...
The Unfamous (Book 1): Chapter 14
© 2010. Shakira Scott ::: Chapter 14 :::
I traisped towards my block in last night’s outfit with my hair thrown into a sloppy bun and dried tear stains on my cheeks. I was a far cry from the picture perfect ‘Queen of Brompton’ I was aiming to be, but right now I didn’t care. All I wanted to do was climb into my bed and sleep and sleep until enough time had passed for the pain to become...
The Unfamous (Book 1): Chapter 13
:::Chapter 13::: I don’t know how long I had been awake for. It had probably been over an hour because when my eyes first opened the windows hadn’t had that daylight glow framing the edges of the curtains. Strangely it felt as if time hadn’t moved on from the moment I remembered where I was and who I was with. Nathaniel. My Nathaniel. We had shifted positions from earlier on and he was now...

The Unfamous (Book 1): Chapter 11
:::Chapter 11::: My throat was bone dry making my erratic breathing very uncomfortable. I wanted to scream but I knew it would be futile because my voice would not project loud enough and the fact that there wasn’t anyone else within a one mile radius didn’t facilitate much either. The rings on Carter’s finger dug into my hands so hard that I knew when he let go they would be imprinted in my...
The Unfamous (Book 1): Chapter 10
:::Chapter 10::: “How do you ladies feel about Champagne?” Prince Charming asked flashing a superbly white smile at Fontaine. He had taken the liberty to introduce himself as Leon when Fontaine and I re-entered the party from the bathroom and after much batting of eyelashes and bubblegum smiles from Fontaine he had invited us to join him and his equally lush friend Carter Johnson, a Herring...
The Unfamous (Book 1): Chapter 9
:::Chapter 9::: *Flashback* I shifted in the passenger seat of Nate’s GTi watching countless houses, trees and people whoosh past me, not taking any of it in. Choice FM played quietly in the background providing a slight distraction from my guilty thoughts. At first I couldn’t handle the fact that I was pregnant in the first place. A baby was the last thing I wanted, I was still a child myself...
The Unfamous (Book 1): Chapter 8
:::Chapter 8::: Tyson and Carmen were involved in what they considered a deep conversation about lord knows what, but I was sure that it was gas, either way I was happy that they were too engrossed to notice my abrupt mood change. I really wanted to punch something, scream at the top of my lungs until my throat was sore and have one of those really dramatic moments when I shove every...

The Unfamous (Book 1): Chapter 7
:::Chapter 7::: I cursed silently wishing that I had been paying more attention to my surroundings rather than ogling at how grown up I felt - something that is taken away from me as soon as Nate appears. No matter what I had accomplished I was always brought back to being that naive 16 year old girl who believed that it was me and the boy I loved against the world. I allowed myself one small...

:::Chapter 6::: “Bruv you need to drop her like a bad habit,” “Are you being serious?” “I’m a serious guy,” “No, you’re gassed.” “If I’m so gassed then how come I got piece?” My jaw dropped and I stared at Tyson in disbelief. He couldn’t be serious, “Are you lying?” “No. That girl is a straight up slag’ems, and it’s not even just me fam; that jezzie gave piece to Calvin and Jadyn too. I’m not...

The Unfamous (Book 1): Chapter 5
::: Chapter 5 ::: I stood rigid praying that I could uncoil myself before anyone noticed that there was something wrong with me. I felt someone shift to my side and stroke my hand and I knew it was Ty. I clutched his hand and he gave mine a small squeeze then let go but stayed by my side. I took a deep breath and calmly collected myself. I was supposed to be the Queen. After so many years...

::: Chapter 4::: *Present Day* “Did you see the look on his face? Oh my god, I totally get that whole ‘looking good is the best revenge’ thing now,” I squealed at Ty from my compact student bathroom as I applied my lip-gloss. I admired myself in the mirror that hung over the sink, rubbed my lips together, puckered one last time and fluffed my curls. I gave myself the once over and stepped outside...

::: Chapter Three::: *Flashback* “Rio…please say something. Rio? Rio please!” Nathaniel reached out his hand to touch my shoulder but I retracted from him like he had the plague. What did he expect me to say? I refused to run through the routine drivel that people tended to do when they became victims of adultery. What would any of those overused questions gain me? Nothing! It wasn’t as if...

::: Chapter Two ::: “Can you believe the cheek of that skank?” I screamed for the umpteenth time as Tyson pulled into a campus parking space. He turned off the ignition and removed the keys so fast it was as if the whole drive back he had been anticipating getting away from me and my fluent ranting. “Yes Rio. Yes I can. Georgia is a bitch and has been for as long as we’ve known her, now shut up...

The Unfamous (Book 1): Chapter One
:::Chapter One:::
This was it. The first day of the rest of my new life.
Over the summer I had concocted various foolproof strategies to become one of ‘them’. My whole secondary school and college career consisted of me being that girl in the back of the class that didn’t matter. I wasn’t invited to any parties that truly mattered, I never jammed in places where...
