Lake's POV

I walked up to Kairos and Darian's table, the cafeteria noise fading around me as I concentrated on what I needed to say. "Hi," I said, clearing my throat. "Do you have a moment?" I said, looking at Darian, and Kairos looked up at me, clearly surprised; then he looked over at Darian as if he did not know whether it was a good idea.

Darian, to his credit, didn’t hesitate. "Yes," he said, and it was only then that Kairos followed his lead, though there was still a hint of anxiety in his voice as he repeated, "Sure."

I caught that and gave him a small, reassuring smile. I was not here to fight his brother. I knew that was what he was worried about after I stated the other day that I was not ready to make peace with Darian, but things had changed.

Kairos stood up and walked away, looking toward the cafeteria door. But then Lux's voice called to him from behind me.

I didn’t turn around, I didn’t have to. I figured she would take this opportunity to speak with Kairos about the be

  • Coming Out of the Deep    Chapter 86: A Hoe

    Third Party POVOlivia sighed and placed the phone against her ear. "Hi, Mom," she said, trying to sound upbeat, and her mother's voice on the other end was tinged with excitement, asking how things were going.Olivia replied, "It is going well," but even she could hear the flatness in her voice.There was a brief silence on the other end before her mother spoke again, this time in a softer tone. “Are you sure? You don’t sound like yourself.”Olivia closed her eyes, knowing what was coming even though she insisted she was fine. “How are things going with… you know?”"I have not had a chance to talk to him yet," Olivia admitted, tracing her thumb along the edge of her cup. There was another pause, this time longer, before her mother's disappointed sigh practically vibrated through the phone.“Olivia. You have to do what we talked about. You need to move fast. If you wait too long, another girl will step in, making things much more difficult for you.""I know, Mom," she replied quietly.

  • Coming Out of the Deep    Chapter 85: Cute

    Lake's POV“Is what true?” I asked, though my mind was already racing with one possibility, the one truth I was not sure I was ready to share with Olivia.She wasn’t just some random student. Our families were in business together, so my parents were familiar with hers, and if anyone in her family talked, it would filter back to mine. The thought of them discovering I was gay through rumors tied a knot in my chest.Fortunately, that was not what she was talking about.“That you’re trying out for the baseball team,” she said quickly, and relief broke over me like sunlight through storm clouds.“Yeah,” I replied just as fast. “It’s true.”Her face lit up instantly, her eyes going wide with a kind of joy that made my stomach twist, not in a bad way, but in the way it did when someone liked you more than you could ever give back.“I just—I wanted to wish you luck!” she stammered, then quickly waved her hands. Not that I think you need it, obviously. You’re—like—you’re great. I’m sure you’

  • Coming Out of the Deep    Chapter 84: Exclusive

    Lux's POVMy mind was racing so fast with questions that I missed Reed's smile, even though he looked directly at me. I just sat there, as still as stone, with a blank stare. Then he was right in front of me, his arms around me, drawing me into a hug that jolted every nerve awake.His breath brushed against the edge of my ear as he whispered, "Are you running away from me?" His voice echoed in my skull, low and teasing, and fully jolted me out of my reverie. "No," I replied quickly, returning to full focus. "I needed some sun."He pulled back just enough to look at my face for a moment, the knowing smirk still on his face, before turning to face the rest of the group and finally acknowledging them.I turned as well, my eyes scanning their faces, or should I say Becca's, as she was the first to capture my attention. Her disappointment was not dramatic, but it was present behind her stiff and brittle smile.She greeted Reed with the others, visibly trying not to let the energy shift sen

  • Coming Out of the Deep    Chapter 83: Two Guys

    Lux's POVBlinking quickly, I averted my gaze from Alec and looked between Lake and Reed, forcing a small laugh. “It’s nothing,” I said. “I just… remembered something I forgot in class.” Reed leaned in almost immediately. “Do you want me to go get it for you?”"No," I said so quickly that I was convinced I had given myself up. “It’s fine. It will be fine; I’ll get it after the break. "I will be in the same classroom." I was still talking when I noticed Alec in the corner of my eye, sliding into a seat near us. "Hey, man," he casually greeted Lake before facing me and doing the same. But I didn’t even register if I greeted him back. I couldn’t feel anything. My body was here, but my brain was somewhere else entirely, scrambling for my sanity.I turned to Reed, desperate for a distraction. “Aren’t you going to eat anything?”He shook his head with a crooked smile. “Nah, I’m good. Alec and I had a snack earlier.” Then he leaned in again and softly kissed my lips, murmuring, "Thanks for

  • Coming Out of the Deep    Chapter 81: Badass

    Lux's POV Olivia stepped up to us, probably about to say something else, but I didn’t give her a chance. My blood boiled, heat surging through my chest, and I turned to the bastard who had my arm.His lips moved into a disgusting smirk or whatever it was that he twisted his face into, and he began to speak, but I did not hear him. All I could think was “I’m not the one, asshole.” And I acted on instinct.Years ago, one of my brothers trained me in jiu-jitsu. I had not practiced in forever, but my body remembered what my mind had almost forgotten. I stepped in too quickly for him to react, grabbing his wrist and yanking it forward while dropping my weight and hooking my leg behind his.He landed hard on the floor; the sound of his body crashing against the tiles echoed throughout the classroom, while his bag skidded and toppled a nearby chair.Gasps erupted around us, followed by laughter. One guy shouted, “Daaamn!” I stood over him, heart pounding, chest heaving, surprised even at my
