~~~CHANCÉ~~~

***

My eyes are wide open as I stare at the picture Cortney shoves in my face.

With every fiber of my being, I hold my tears in, clenching my jaw, swallowing hard, so she won't ask questions. So she won't see how much this is destroying me.

My heart is pounding fast. Hurting like I've been stabbed—over and over and over.

What the hell is this?

How could he kiss her?

How—

I'm as confused as Cortney. Earlier, her scream had shattered the silence after she checked her phone. I wen

  • Craving My Best Friend’s Brother   Chan And I

    ***~~~ RIVER~~~***I’m happy Chan and I are back together. Picking up that diamond necklace was a fucking smart move.I made tonight romantic for her on purpose, and I’m glad I did. She talked more than she has in weeks—more than she has since we started dating. It felt good hearing that side of her, the one my sister always gets to see.I’m just walking into the house when my phone starts ringing. I pull it out, see the name, and almost ignore it. I’ve been trying hard not to talk to Sophia. The guilt of me cheating on my girl is already heavy enough. But of course I answer anyway. I always do.I put the phone to my ear as I head upstairs and shut my bedroom door behind me, already searching for an excuse to keep the call short.I drop onto the bed. Her voice comes through, soft and tired.“A student confided in me about a boy. I’m really not the best person to be giving that kind of advice. Look at my life—I’m a mess. Single. Rough past. And I’m sure she’ll bring it up again the n

  • Craving My Best Friend’s Brother   Diamond is a Girl’s Best Friend

    I can’t sleep. I’m too full of happiness. My face is stuck in a smile as I lie in bed, fingers tracing the little star pendant around my neck. My mind keeps replaying the kiss, the way he dropped the chain the way they do in K-dramas, how quiet and romantic the whole night felt.I told River about the concert with Cortney tomorrow before we said goodnight. I’m going to see Taylor freaking Swift for the first time. I might actually die.When I got home earlier, Mom was already asleep. I stare up at the ceiling, still touching the pendant. “Thank you, Universe. You’ve been really good to me today.”I want this feeling to last forever.By four o’clock the next afternoon, Cortney is already outside as planned. I check myself in the mirror one last time, tuck the diamond necklace under the neckline of my sequined top, and run downstairs.She’s leaning against her car when I step out. “Someone’s excited,” she says, smiling.“You know you could’ve just come inside instead of waiting out he

  • Craving My Best Friend’s Brother   The Best Night Ever

    I watch his face after the question. There’s a flicker of hesitation before he jerks his head in a shake.“No. No. I’m not.”I could have sworn I saw it, that tiny pause.“Why would I?” he adds. “I only like you.”He takes my hand. I step forward and wrap my arms around him, pressing my face into his chest for a second.“You can’t like someone else,” I murmur. Because you have no idea how long I’ve liked you. What I risked. What I’ll lose because I liked you.He lifts my chin with two fingers and kisses me carefully, like he’s afraid of smudging my lipstick. When he pulls back, his eyes are warm.“Go. I don’t want them calling your name and finding you missing when it’s time for your award.”I’m taken aback. “How did you even know about the award? I never told you.”“Cortney did.”My eyebrows lift. “You guys talked about me?”“Not really. She was so excited she just… spilled it while we were eating last night.”I nod, a small smile tugging at my mouth. “Okay. But you have to be there.

  • Craving My Best Friend’s Brother   Do You Like Someone Else? 

    It's been two days since River's eyes met mine in our homeroom teacher's office. Two days since I finally sent that reply back to him in class. Ever since, he's texted and called like something bordering on obsessive. He even showed up at my house once, and I pretended I wasn't home, watching through the curtain until his car finally pulled away.Cortney and I are walking down the hall when the loudspeaker crackles to life with the principal's voice. “Our annual scholarship fundraiser gala is this Saturday, as we all know and it’s organized as always by Mr. Mackline. Please dress your best and show your support. Miss Rhodes — please come see me in my office."I let out a heavy sigh."What'd you do now?" Cortney lets go of my hand, already smirking.I shrug. "No idea. I'll catch up with you later. Bye.""Bye."I head for the stairs toward the principal's office, knock once I get there, and step inside when told. The principal spreads her arms wide, smiling. "Here comes our star student.

    I stare at my boyfriend, my heart slamming so hard against my chest. What is he doing here?My eyes finally settle after his do, and I don't say a word to him. I just look away.Miss Sophia chimes in smoothly. "Hello, Mr. Dawson. You came." She reaches into her locker, picks out a folder, and flips through it. "I looked into extracurriculars you could pick up while you're sitting out these two games. Unfortunately, there's no vacancy in any of them right now.""Thank you.""But of course, I'll reach out the moment something opens."He nods, then glances my way and smiles quickly before turning and heading out the door. I turn back to Sophia, who's already smiling at me pleasantly, and then my head snaps back toward. He never even mentioned any of this to me. I could've actually helped him find something.I push myself up out of the chair. "I should — actually, I should go.""Wait, Miss Rhodes—""I'll — come back." I'm already moving, rushing out the door, craning my neck down the hall

  • Craving My Best Friend’s Brother   Sasha Spiralling 

    ***~~~CHANCÉ~~~***Monday morning, I wake up to a text from my boyfriend. River is sorry he bailed on our date because his father called, was furious about the whole game situation, and he knows that's not an excuse, but he's really, genuinely sorry.I stare at the message for a while. Of course, because I like him so much, some part of me already wants to give him another pass. I want to. I really do. But I keep staring at the screen, and this time I make myself hold off. Last week was rough enough between us, and he has bailed on me more times than I've bothered to count.I've let it slide, over and over, but not this time. He doesn't get to skate through this one so easily.So I do one of the harder things. I flip my phone face-down on the bed, walk into the bathroom, and shut the door behind me to get ready for school instead.Standing in front of the mirror, already dressed, I run my fingers through my hair, catching the ends. It's finally starting to grow out more. Maybe I'll

    ( Two Months Later)The rink is loud with cheering—fans screaming and clapping as the players race across the ice. 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

    *** ~~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

    ***~~~ CHANCÉ~~~***I’m still mad at him. But not the loud kind of mad. Not the kind where you slam doors or yell. The quiet, painful kind. The kind that sits heavy in my chest and refuses to leave.I feel sad. I felt hurt when he said the word “As if” to his cousin, Ricky. I know what we do isn’
