I turn to the other side of the room, the sheets twisting around my legs. The bed is awkwardly comfortable—even though it's not as large and bouncy as mine is. I sigh, rolling onto my back. My hands press flat against my sides, fingers curling into the mattress as I stare at the ceiling in surrender. The time is 3 a.m., and I still can't get some sleep.

    ***~~~RIVER~~~***I turn to the other side of the room, the sheets twisting around my legs. The bed is awkwardly comfortable—even though it's not as large and bouncy as mine is. I sigh, rolling onto my back. My hands press flat against my sides, fingers curling into the mattress as I stare at the ceiling in surrender. The time is 3 a.m., and I still can't get some sleep.I wonder what she is doing.After she ran away before we could kiss, something tight coiled in my chest. Bad. I felt bad. Bad that I keep dragging her in even though I can clearly see she's trying to run.I had stopped in front of her door after I left the living room. No light reflecting from the bottom of her door. She must have slept. So I pushed off and went to her sister's room instead.I didn't lie to Chan when I said she was the first person I had ever cooked for. I mean, I keep breaking the rules for her. Having sex unprotected. Curdling. Cooking. Walking her to her front door. It makes me look like a simp.

  • Craving My Best Friend’s Brother   Temptation

    I can hear the beating of my heart. The rain is pouring heavily, unexpected. Mom sent me a message that she won't be home tonight. That leaves me alone in this house with River.I swallow hard."Are you okay?""Uh?""You've been standing there, staring at me. Is something on my face?""No. Your face is perfect—" I stop. Freeze. Did I just say that? "I mean, perfectly fine. Your face is perfectly fine. There's nothing on your face."I look away. My fingers twist together in front of me.The tension between us is unbearable. The last time I pushed him away was because Mom was downstairs. Or because I just came back from a date with Ricky. I don’t know. I just know I had a little control.Oh gosh.Now there's no excuse."Are you sure you're fine?""Of course," I say, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear. Then behind the other. Then back again. "Well, the rain is still pouring and we don't know when it will stop. It would be rude to let you stay here.""No. I'm fine.""I insist."His br

    Turning to Cortney, I try so hard to calm myself so she won't suspect anything. I really hope River heard what I said and has already left."So? What does she want?""Uh… She just asked me to send a picture of me wearing the coat," I cook up a lie quickly. I don't know if she believes me. I can't read the look in her eyes."Okay. Do whatever you want. I just want you to be careful around her. I've been friends with Sasha. I know what type of devil she is." She pauses. "So, Chancé, if she's doing something to you that you're not telling me—""I'm fine," I say quickly. I sigh. "I'm fine, Cort. I can handle Sasha."She pulls me into a hug, then releases me. "Okay. I'll see you at school tomorrow."I wave at her and watch her walk out of the house. I heave a deep breath, then find my way to my room.My phone dings. A message from River. He says he's gone, but he'd like us to meet in the evening. He says he'll send me an address.Well. Anywhere but a closed area, I text back.I look at the

    What is this smirk about? Did he already know I agreed to tutor him?I tear my eyes away from him and smile at Cortney. She hands me her key. "I'll meet you in the car.""See you later, Chan." River winks at me.I swallow hard.I watch the twins walk off together. Just as I'm about to leave, my path is blocked by two girls. I already know what this means."Sasha wants to see you," one of them says, curling the tip of her hair and chewing her gum dramatically.If I don't go, more bullying. If I go, bullying—but maybe less. I can take it. As long as my family is out of it, I can take anything."Where is she?" I ask firmly.The two girls exchange a look and smirk. "Follow us," they say in unison.They take the lead. I follow.I wonder where they'll take me. An unfinished building? Beat me up and dispose of my body where no one will find me? I shake my head and laugh nervously in my head. Sasha might be a monster, but she wouldn't do that. Would she?My anxiety rises.My phone beeps sudde

    ***~~~CHANCE~~~***My heart leaps the moment I see River walk through the classroom door. It's shocking to the rest of the class too. He's dressed in his uniform—no tie, not that I expected him to ever dress like a responsible student. But him coming to class and telling the teacher he's here to take his life more seriously? That's a really big shock.I'll be expecting the news to pop up on the school's feed before the day ends.I turn my head toward him as he sits down. We haven't seen each other since Saturday, when he came to my room and things almost escalated. A part of me is glad I controlled myself and didn't kiss him.He looks in my direction. Instantly, I flip my head back to the teacher."Alright. No noise," Mr. Lewis says.The whole class goes quiet, and our History lecture continues. Cortney and I look at each other after a while, and she mouths, Has her brother gone insane? I shrug. I'm as surprised as she is. And I'm actually glad Cortney is okay now after that message

  • Craving My Best Friend’s Brother   Girls Are Not That Bad

    The thought of it is tempting. Chan being my tutor. I get to see her a lot more now. I've never had my mind on a Plan B before. I mean, ever since I started playing hockey, it's been the only thing I know and the only win I want to achieve.Now? I sigh as I look up at the principal."And what if she doesn't want to be my tutor?" I ask. There's a sore spot between Chan and me. I'm sure she'll do anything to keep us from getting closer. She made that clear that night. And there's also Cortney.She'll get mad again. If she finds out about this, she'll hate me again. And this is not the time I want to make my sister mad. She's already heartbroken. Mom already disappointed her. I wonder how she's doing."You're our star student, Mr. Dawson. Who wouldn't want to—" I tilt my head, giving her a look. "But I'll talk to her. She's very impressive, though. A scholarship student." The principal laughs in amusement. She sees my face again and stops talking. Then she clasps her hands together. "But
