ARDEN

Does he know? Those words echoed in the back of my mind as I made my way out of the Silver building. The others had laughed it off when Elias insinuated he had a clue about who the virgin was. I had to force myself to smile in response, not wanting to raise any suspicions. Elias didn’t glance at me even once after that, yet I couldn’t help but wonder if he had said it as a passing, irrelevant comment.

I glanced back to see Elias swarmed by the other members, who eagerly asked for his number and fawned over him. With that scene in front of me, I hastened my steps, eager to put as much distance as possible between myself and their gaze. There was no way he could know. Aside from Tessa, no one else had the slightest clue. Kieran had never shown any interest in me, but I was fairly certain that Jaxon had already informed him of my transformation from the prude he once knew.

I checked my phone and noted that I still had about half an hour before my shift began. It seemed like a good

    ARDEN“By the way,” Tessa began cautiously. “How long have you been afraid of…?” She trailed off, casting her gaze at the water.“Since I was a kid,” I muttered.“Is it to the point where you can touch it?”I chuckled lightly and shook my head. “No, that’s fine. I just don’t like being submerged in it.”“That makes sense. I’m afraid of heights, by the way. Deathly afraid, to the point that I can’t even ride the kid rides at amusement parks.”I smiled at her attempt to lighten the atmosphere. “Does… Jaxon know?” she asked.I froze for a moment before nodding. “Yeah,” I muttered. Aside from Jaxon, Sienna also knew about my phobia. The atmosphere turned a bit weird, so I quickly changed the subject with a smile.“Aren’t you going to get changed?”She glanced down at her outfit and nodded. “Yeah, now that you mention it. These things feel great in the water but icky on land. Wait for me here. I’ll be right back.”I smiled and nodded, watching as she walked back to the locker room. There w

    ARDENI arrived at the swimming pool and noticed that the class had already begun. The men were shirtless, clad only in their swim shorts, while the women sported tankinis in the school’s colors. Spotting Tessa, I waved at her, and she smiled back.Mr. Thompson merely glanced in my direction before gesturing toward the bleachers, silently indicating that I should check the papers there. Nodding, I quickly got to work, stealing glances at my classmates from time to time. Surprisingly, the process of checking papers proved to be quite enjoyable, and I found myself breezing through them with ease. I was on the last set when Mr. Thompson’s voice caught my attention.“Alright, now we’re going to hold a competition,” he announced. “You’ll have the chance to win 30 points for this. One winner from the boys and one from the girls.”Excitement buzzed among the students, and I couldn’t help but look more frequently at the unfolding scene than the papers I was meant to be checking. The boys were

    ARDENA small sigh of relief escaped my lips as I nodded eagerly. “I’ll handle it really well, sir.”Mr. Thompson pursed his lips before he finally nodded. “However, I am awarding points to the fastest swimmers today, so you’re missing out on that.”“It’s alright, sir,” I replied without hesitation. It wasn’t as though I could earn the incentive even if I participated.“Go to my office and get the papers,” he instructed, handing me the keys. “Then come back here to complete the task.”I nodded, turning to Tessa, who offered me a subtle thumbs-up.“I’ll get dressed,” she whispered before joining the others. Meanwhile, I made my way to the teacher’s office, a smile playing on my lips. I felt a wave of relief wash over me that Mr. Thompson hadn’t asked any further questions. I arrived promptly, as the gym was only a short distance from theirs.The words “ONLY FACULTY ALLOWED” were plastered on the wall, and for a brief moment, I hesitated. However, empowered by the keys in my hand, I unl

    ARDENWhat happened at the bus stop yesterday still lingered in my mind. The conversation had taken a downturn so suddenly, and even then, I couldn’t help but wonder what I had said so wrong for Cade to react that way.It was strange how I was more fixated on his response than on the fact that he now knew I was a virgin. I didn’t know what he would do with that information. Would he treat me differently? That was how I predicted things would go. However, much to my surprise, he seemed to ignore my presence altogether.“Earth to Arden!” Tessa exclaimed, cheerfully nudging my shoulder. I turned to her, still somewhat lost in thought.“Yeah?”She narrowed her eyes. “Alright, something is definitely wrong,” she finally said. “I thought you were just under the weather, but you’ve been in this absentminded state since the first class.”I smiled sheepishly. “Sorry about that. Yeah, there’s a lot on my mind.”Tessa sighed in concern. “You can tell me whenever you want to.”Feeling grateful, I

    ARDEN “It’s just you,” I sighed. It’s always you. I unconsciously leaned my forehead against his chest, exhaling a deep breath. His fresh scent, mingled with the rain, felt even more comforting after our startling encounter. “Why were you acting like I was chasing you?” he asked. I looked up at him, a slight glare crossing my face, though it lacked any real heat. “Can you blame me?” I muttered. “You were running.” “That’s because the rain is getting heavier,” he retorted just as the sky opened up, the rain pouring down even more violently. He cursed under his breath. He grasped my wrist, making me gasp softly, and pulled me toward the gates of Elite and the bus stop, where a shade offered refuge. “The forecast didn’t mention anything about rain,” he complained, his voice laced with annoyance as we stepped back into the cover. I couldn’t help but admire his side profile, the way his hair clung to his forehead, dampened by the rain. Normally, his hair was perfectly styled,

    ARDEN“Oh crap,” I muttered under my breath when I noticed a notification from Silver Quill. It appeared that we had an activity scheduled for tomorrow, and I needed to buy a book from the local bookstore. Owen halted in his tracks and turned to me, one eyebrow arched inquisitively. “Do you know where this place is?” I asked, holding up my phone to show him the name of the bookstore. “Haven? It’s that one,” he replied, pointing towards a shop not far from us. It was only a few blocks away, which caused me to sigh in relief. “Why do you ask?” “I need to buy something from there,” I explained. “You should go ahead first.” I stepped back and noticed the hesitation in Owen’s eyes. Confused by his expression, I tilted my head slightly. He glanced up at the skies for a moment before letting out a small sigh. “It looks like it’s going to rain soon.” “What do you mean?” I chuckled, following his gaze to the heavens. “The skies are dark, but they’re perfectly clear, and the stars
