I didn't expect Sasha to actually defend me. And she made a point of saying it wasn't for my sake — just that she didn't want to be the day’s gossip. So why does that explanation feel a little too convenient?

One thing about Sasha Mackline: you never know what's actually going on in her head, or what she's going to do next.

I step out of the bathroom, towel-drying my hair with one hand while I dig through the closet with the other, hunting for something comfortable. I pick a matching set, wide-

    It's as bad as she thinks. Really bad.We walk into a massive open field, everyone's expressions somewhere between confused and dreading. Cortney and I trade a look, and she rolls her eyes so hard. "I have a feeling I'm going to hate whatever this is."Same. Same here. My attention drifts back to the field as Mr. Patterson steps to the front of the group, clipboard tucked under one arm.Earlier, we'd loaded onto the bus, and it drove us a mile or so out from the hotel. I made sure to snap pictures out the window the whole ride or stops, catching the scenery. Miss Turner also made everyone pack extra clothes before we left — no explanation given, just a firm "you'll want them." We didn't argue."Okay, so — first on my list before the fun starts is getting your bodies moving." Mr. Patterson claps his hands together. A collective groan rolls through the group."Told you I had a feeling," Cortney mutters, arms crossed.Mr. Patterson pushes on, clearly unbothered by how miserable we all l

So why does that explanation feel a little too convenient?One thing about Sasha Mackline: you never know what's actually going on in her head, or what she's going to do next.I step out of the bathroom, towel-drying my hair with one hand while I dig through the closet with the other, hunting for something comfortable. I pick a matching set, wide-legged trousers with a body-hugging zip-up jacket, no hood.Sasha goes into the bathroom, and the door clicks shut behind her. I flop back onto my bed and check my phone — twenty minutes to nine. My thumb scrolls, and I land on the photos from last night, the ones River took of us. I press a hand over my mouth to muffle the giggle that slips out at the sight of him kissing me. Afterward, I bury the pictures in my hidden folder, just in case Cortney ever wants my phone. Then I notice his name sit

    I think I'm caught. No — not think. I'm caught.The look on her face says it all. Her words said it all.Cortney's eyes snap downward, and I follow her gaze to find one of Sasha's heels lying tipped on its side near her bed — the same ones from the rave last night. Cortney steps past me into the room before I can get a word out, crosses to the heel, and bends to pick it up. She turns it over in her hands, inspecting it, then lifts her head toward Sasha, still dead asleep on her bed.Her eyes cut back to me. "Well?" She lifts one shoulder, waiting.So maybe I'm not caught, exactly. She's assuming, not confirming. My pulse starts to level out as I scramble to cover before her suspicion gets any closer to the truth. "It was one wild night, but we didn't go to any party.""This heel says otherwise." She holds it up between us. "So does your hair. Your clothes. Sasha's clothes." She crosses her arms. "Come on, I'm not a kid, Chancé. And I hate being lied to.""Will you fucking keep your vo

  • Craving My Best Friend’s Brother   Something Of Us

    The Uber finally pulls up — the kind of car that fits six. I start heading toward the boys' car, but Sasha grabs my arm and yanks me back. "You're riding with us. It'll be so embarrassing, you being the only girl stuck in a car full of boys." I don't argue, just follow her lead, and we pile into the second car.I end up wedged in the front seat while the girls dissolve into giggling behind me, voices overlapping too fast to follow. Something about how much fun tonight's going to be. It's an overnight rave, apparently. Sasha grilled River about it before the Uber even showed up.Half of them have never been to one. Neither have I, if I'm honest. I can't quite picture what we're walking into. I can't believe River picked a packed, sweaty, probably-drugged-up rave for our first real date — I'd have taken dinner, someplace we could actually talk through or have fun in. But it's sweet, in its own way, that he thought this hard about where to take me at all.The girls' chatter blurs into ba

  • Craving My Best Friend’s Brother   Our First Date

    A date? I sit upright fast, staring at the message, stunned. Then I catch myself and ease back down slowly, careful not to wake the devil spun sleeping a few feet away. I keep rereading it, still not quite believing what I'm looking at. Carefully, I drag the blanket up over my head like a tent, raise my phone close to my face, and start typing.ME: Aww. This is so sweet, Babe. But this is risky. Miss Turner said no going out after curfew.I hit send.His reply comes back within seconds.RIVER: No one will know, and I'll have you back before they even realize we're gone.I let out a slow breath, rereading it, unease pooling in my stomach as I start typing again. Of course I want to go with him — anywhere, honestly. If he asked me to elope right now, I think I'd run into oblivion with him without a second thought.I've wanted this for years. It's a dream come true. But— this is risky, and this is real life. If we get caught, it's the end of this trip for everyone, not just us, and I don

    I trail behind Sasha, dragging my luggage down the hall, keeping a careful few steps of distance between us. I'm still kind of reeling that she and I got paired together — she's the very last person I want to be sharing a room with. I've spent so much finding ways to avoid her, and somehow the universe just isn't taking the hint. There's still this low hum of guilt sitting in my chest over what Cortney did to her — the drug thing. But Sasha is also, genuinely, a bitch. A jerk, through and through, and I want nothing to do with that jerk if I can help it. I don't know how I'm going to survive sharing a room with her, but if I just stay out of her way, maybe, maybe, I'll get through this in one piece.Sasha stops walking. My feet stop right along with hers. She spins around and drags her eyes over me slowly, head to toe, then sucks in a breath through her teeth, her expression settling into something I recognize instantly. I know that look. I just blink back at her, the silence between

    I feel used. Completely used. That’s been the way I’ve felt since the first time River came into my room. He didn’t even acknowledge it before he just took what he wanted.There was one thing I thought would change. I thought if I let him have my body, my virginity, he would like me back, but I gue

    *** ~~CHANCÉ~~ *** “Come here.” River Dawson’s voice slides down my spine like a slow shiver. I’m standing only a few inches away from him, but those two words still pull me closer, like I’m tied to him by something invisible. Maybe I am. I should feel embarrassed about how easily I obey

    I toss and turn until I finally stop. With my hand on my stomach, I stare at the ceiling, letting out a long breath. Cortney dropped me home thirty minutes ago, and River hasn’t shown up yet.Maybe it is for the best.I sigh, running my hand through my hair.What exactly am I doing? I know he will

But the noise fades in the back of my mind the moment his eyes meet mine for a glimpse. Now all I hear is his voice from the night before. Low. Close to my ear.“How do you want to be
