Ava’s POV

I woke up this morning early, I took a shower and decided to go for something casual. I put my jeans and black top with a cardigan.

I made myself a simple breakfast just tea and bread, in my situation I could not afford anymore fancy breakfast. I got used to it after my mom died and my dad chased me out of his house because I talked back to his precious wife. She always hated me but the feeling was mutual!.

after I was done with my breakfast I exited my one room apartment and started walking to university. the West bridge university was huge it literally took me 30 minutes just to reach the library.

Today I have to tutor Logan and now it's 8 am and he's nowhere to be seen. then about fifteen minutes later he strolled in the library like it was some changing locker room. everyone was looking at him in shock. because the famous Logan doesn't do studies. there was something about Logan Carter that screamed trouble or is it because of his confident smirk that he has all the time? I couldn't quite figure it out.

He took a seat into the chair across from mine taking his time like he had all time of the world. "you look quite excited to see me nerd, I know I'm charming but you can tone it out"

I sighed closing my laptop " you're late, and I'm not a 'nerd' I have a name it's Ava".

he glanced at his watch "like five minutes no big deal"

"one hour" I corrected " I agree to tutor you and you're late to the session a whole damn hour logan , I'm not your servant I have things to do, if you don't want to, you can go your way, I'll go with mine ".

Logan smirk quickly fell out of his face " I'm sorry I got caught up in something important it will not happen again " he said

" by something important, you mean hooking up with some random girl again? " I crossed my arms looking at him.

his smirk quickly returned to his lips" and why do you care Ava? it's not like any of this is your business? or is it?"

his questions caught me off guard. he's right why do I care? it's not like we're friends. but why was I feeling like this?

"you're right it's not my business nor do I care" I quickly said.

he strengthen his back into his chair man spreading. "well, if you say so dear tutor".

I took my history book and put it on the table and opened my computer " well then let's begin our session ".

"so what's our first lesson, teacher?" Logan asked.

"European history, particularly WW1, any idea about it?" I asked him

He frowned "nope , I don't know anything about that"

my jaw nearly dropped to the ground! how the hell didn't he knew about this? is he this dumb? looks like I have to teach him everything!

"do you know anything about American independence? who's the first American president? who...."

"Jesus! chill Ava I was kidding!" he said chuckling

" I was just playing with you, don't get so serious geez!"

phew!! thank God

I rolled my eyes, exhaling sharply. "Logan, this is serious. If you keep messing around, you're never going to pass this class, and I'll just be wasting my Time".

He leaned forward, resting his arms on the table with a lazy smirk. "And that’s why I have you, dear tutor. To save me from academic failure."

I ignored his sarcasm and turned my laptop towards him, displaying a presentation I had prepared. "Alright, let's start with the causes of World War I. There were several factors, including militarism, alliances, imperialism, and nationalism....

Logan held up a hand, cutting me off. "Hold on, hold on. You lost me at 'militarism.' What does that even mean? is history always this hard?"

I sighed, reminding myself to be patient he doesn't seem to know almost everything about history. "It means the building of military forces. Countries were buying and making weapons, and tensions kept rising."

He nodded slowly, as if he were actually paying attention I highly doubted that. "So, basically, everyone was flexing their muscles, and it got out of hand?"

I pressed my lips together, trying not to laugh. "That's… one way to put it."

Logan grinned. "See? I’m a fast learner."

I highly doubted that, but at least he wasn’t entirely zoning out. "Alright, since you’re such a 'fast learner,' tell me what you just understood about militarism."

He smirked. "That it's when countries start collecting weapons, acting all tough, flexing their muscles and then boom war started".

I shook my head, but a small smile played on my lips. "Not bad. There's hope for you yet, Carter."

He leaned back in his chair, stretching. "Told you. So, what’s next?"

Before I could answer, a loud beep sound echoed through the library my phone buzzing with a message. I glanced at the screen, and my stomach dropped.

"Landlord: You have until the end of the week to pay the rent, or you’re out."

I swallowed hard, my fingers tightening around the phone. where the hell am I going to get the money?.Logan noticed my shift in expression, his brows slightly furrowing. "Everything okay nerd?"

I quickly locked my phone and forced a neutral expression. "Yeah. Let's just continue the lesson."

He didn't push, but I could tell he wasn’t convinced. Still, he let it go for now. he was a blabbermouth he will definitely ask me later.

"Alright, then," he said, tapping his fingers on the table. "Tell me more about this 'war' and why it even started."

I took a deep breath, pushing my worries aside. "Well, let’s talk about the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand…"

" hold on! who the fuck is archduke Franz Ferdinand? " Logan quickly stopped me.

" well, if you will not interrupt me then maybe you will know who's archduke Franz Ferdinand?"

he winked" alright sorry! carry on"..

And just like that, the session continued. But in the back of my mind, the landlord's message burned like a warning I couldn’t ignore.

the only question I hard is where am I going to find the money? definitely not from my dad.

  • Against the rules    He is gone

    Ava’s POV ~The chains rattled as I shifted. My wrists were raw now angry red lines wrapping around them. My cheek throbbed, and the side of my lip stung with dried blood. Still, I sat straighter than before, even if I was trembling inside.Sebastian was gone.After laughing at my words like a maniac, he had disappeared through the heavy double doors like this was just another business meeting. Like threatening to kill me was something he was used to in his business.But he left the guards. Two of them. Built like statues and just as silent. They stood by the door, expressionless, weapons tucked at their waists, pretending I didn’t exist.I wasn’t going to give them a show.Instead, I breathed In and Out.Just like Logan taught me during one of our rare, quiet nights. “You breathe when the world won’t let you speak,”.Back then, I thought he meant anxiety.Now I realized he meant war.The sound of a key turning in the lock jolted me upright. I scrambled to wipe my face, not wanting any

  • Against the rules    Sebastian Carter

    ~ Ava’s POV ~The room smelled like expensive cigars . I sat in the ornate chair with my wrists bound and ankles chained to its legs. My hands were beginning to form bruises around.Cold metal chain bit into my skin, and I was shaking from fear. From heartbreak. From the ache of missing someone I didn’t know how to forgive.Sebastian Carter stood by the massive window, swirling a glass of whiskey like he was in a movie. Logan’s father.He didn’t look like Logan, not really. Maybe the sharp jawline and height, but everything else was darker. his aura, his grin, the way he held power like it was a goddamn crown.He turned slowly, sipping his drink. “So… You’re the girl who made my son go soft.”I narrowed my eyes. “That would be me.”His chuckle was low and cruel. “Touché.”He walked closer, his gaze dropping to my face like he was inspecting a product. His hands were tough and he had scars on his arms everywhere. They looked like they were from knife wounds.“You know,” he said casu

  • Against the rules    He Took Her

    ~ Logan’s POV ~I couldn’t breathe.Every second that passed without seeing her face, without hearing her voice or feeling her hand in mine, felt like I was sinking deeper into some black hole I couldn't claw my way out of forever.She was gone. She disappeared, even though it was just for a day but I miss her so much,I wish I could be with her right now.No calls. No texts. Nothing.I walked through the campus like some kind of madman. Every hallway, every bench, every place I knew she might retreat to. The library. The law building. Even on the rooftop but she wasn't there. It's like she disappeared in thin air Charlotte had been the one to tell me she heard Ava running after overhearing something… and my whole world stopped. The conversation with Aaron. My stupid, impulsive laugh. My mocking words.Words that weren’t real, I didn't even intend to mock her but I did that to stop Aaron From snooping into our business but I didn't know she was there. She heard all of it. All I wanted

  • Against the rules    Love Wasn't Supposed To Be Like This

    ~Ava’s pov~I didn’t know how far I ran Or for how long.All I knew was the pain.It was like drowning in fire. Each of my breaths burned so bad, each heartbeat felt like it was the last beat of my heart .Logan. How could he do that? Did I really Matter to him? After everything we did together? Everything we've been through?He said I was just a bet.A game.A “quick fuck.”I trusted him. I gave him parts of me I kept locked away for so long. He made me believe he saw me…the real me, not just the girl who kept her guard up, but the one who wanted someone to fight to be let in.And he won that fight.But it was all a setup,an act.Just so he could win some goddamn bet.I collapsed onto a bench outside a closed café a mile away from campus. The sky was dull and black, matching the situation of my heart. My fingers trembled as I wiped the tears away pointless, really, because they kept coming.Everything felt numb and sharp all at once.I didn’t even look up when I heard footsteps.“Ava

  • Against the rules    Heart heavier than ever

    Logan’s POVShe heard me.Those three words hit harder than any punch I’d taken on the field. Harder than any lecture, harder than any breakup. Because it wasn’t just anyone who heard me say it.It was Ava. The girl who considered me her whole world.She stood there, her eyes wide ,Chest heaving,Her lips parting like she was trying to speak but nothing came out. The look in her eyes wasn’t just hurt. It was betrayal. Shattered hope. Like I’d taken everything she believed in and set it on fire.And I did.God, I did.The second she turned and ran, my brain short-circuited.“AVA!”But she didn’t stop.Her shoes clicked against the floor, echoing down the hallway, fading with every desperate beat of my heart.I lunged forward without thinking, shoving Aaron aside.“What the hell did you say that for?” I growled.Aaron raised his hands up mocking surrendering. “What did I say?? The question is what did you do to her Logan!”It was true . it wasn’t just Aaron.It was me.The words came fr

  • Against the rules    The boy who promised me the world

    ~Ava's pov~Something was off.Logan’s hand was warm in mine as we sat on the bench, his thumb was repeatedly brushing over my knuckles like he needed the contact to keep steady. But I could feel there was something bothering him. The weight in his silence. The way his eyes flicked too quickly when Aaron passed by.It wasn’t the first time I’d noticed it.Whenever Aaron was around, Logan changed. Not in an obvious way. It wasn’t like he growled or stormed off. No, it was more subtle like his jaw tightened, his shoulders stiffened, and sometimes, he looked at me like he was waiting for something to fall apart.And that made me nervous. What if it's something bad? What if it tears us apart?“So,” I said casually, as we walked toward my class building. “You and Aaron… everything good?”Logan didn’t even look at me. “Yeah. Why?”“You just seem tense around him. Every time he’s near me, you act like you're ready to fight.”He exhaled sharply. “It’s just football stuff. Competitive crap.

  • Against the rules    The Lie Between Us

    ~Logan’s POV ~The bass in the club thumped so loud I could feel it in my chest.Flashing lights, grinding bodies, and the sharp smell of spilled drinks . Tristan was halfway through his second beer, and Miles was already flirting with a girl in red. Me? I was nursing the same drink I’d been holding for the last hour, mind elsewhere.Ava’s face wouldn’t leave my head.The way she laughed when she teased me. The way her eyes sparkled when she got fired up about law stuff. The way her voice dropped when she was tired, soft and raw and real.And the way Nate looked at her like he already knew he was falling.God, it made my blood boil.“You’re doing that brooding thing again,” Tristan said, sliding into the booth beside me.“Shut up.”“Seriously,” he said, nudging my arm. “You look like someone just kicked your puppy.”I didn’t answer. Miles dropped into the seat across from us, flanked by two girls who disappeared when he saw my face.“What’s with you, man?” Miles asked. “You win the ga

  • Against the rules    Tick Tock Logan

    I had just finished my history class and was heading toward the café when I spotted Charlotte waving frantically.“AVA!” she shouted, practically dragging her boyfriend Tristan by the arm.I smiled and jogged up. “What, is there a fire or just another TikTok recipe you want to try?”“Neither. Look who I found loitering like a lost golden retriever!” she said, grinning as Nate came into view behind her, wearing a hoodie and carrying a smoothie.“Hey,” Nate said, offering me that same warm smile that always made my stomach flip. “Fancy seeing you here, Professor Scary.”Charlotte raised an eyebrow. “Professor what?”“It’s a diner thing,” I muttered.Nate chuckled. “She trained me. Survived my fork-tray fiasco.”“She texted me about it,” Charlotte said, giving me a mischievous look. “Along with the dimple emoji.”I narrowed my eyes. “Charlotte.”“What? I just find it interesting,” she said, casually looping her arm around Tristan’s waist. “That Fork Boy here clearly likes you.”Nate cho

  • Against the rules    Not Exactly a Romeo

    ~Ava’s pov~Today was a bit boring. No Charlotte in sight as she was busy with Tristan. No Logan and I miss him alot Even though he's coming back today, I couldn't help myself from being lonely.The diner felt too quiet without the lunch chaos, and I was just finishing up a refill run when I heard the bell above the door jingle.I turned, expecting a customer and froze.Logan.Tall, broad, in his usual Titans hoodie and backward cap, looking like he hadn’t just spent the last two days tackling people in another town. His hazel eyes locked on mine the second he spotted me.And just like that, I forgot how to hold a soda pitcher properly.Sometimes I wonder,why does he have that hold on me? Sometimes I completely forget everything around me as my eyes locked with him.“You’re back early,” I said excitedly,my heart skipping.He shrugged like it was no big deal. “Coach cut us loose after the game. Thought I’d surprise you.”“You did,” I said, setting the pitcher down before I dropped it.
