LOGINJAXSON'S POVSloane kept her hand firmly between my legs and leaned her body all the way across the center console. She pressed her lips directly against my jawline and tried to turn my face toward hers for a kiss."Stop it, Sloane, I am driving," I said sharply, keeping my eyes locked on the busy road ahead of us.She ignored my warning completely and moved her hand in a slow circle. She kissed my neck again, this time biting down slightly on my skin."Can you not see that I am driving this car?" I yelled, finally batting her hand away from my thighs. "You're distracting me right now, and we are going to crash.”Sloane huffed, "Then just pull over. There is a wide shoulder right up ahead.""No, I am not pulling over. I'm just not in the mood for this right now.”"Since when are you ever not in the mood for sex?
CLARA'S POV Sloane walked up slowly, carrying her shoulders high. She stared down at me; her two best friends, Vera and Nina, stood right behind her, chewing loudly and smacking their gum. "Been a while, Clara," she said. "Thought you dropped out.” I gripped the straps of my backpack. Usually, I would look to the floor and wait for her to finish talking. I would take the insult and walk away in shame. But not today. "Leave us alone, Sloane," I said, walking forward, not giving her the reaction she wanted. She stepped in front of me fast, blocking my path. "Oh, so now you've got an attitude? You're talking back now, since when?" "Since I decided your opinion doesn't matter to me anymore." Her friends gasped. Sloane's face twisted up in surprise for a second, like she genuinely didn’t expect it; she just couldn't process it. "Wowwwww?" She said, turning to her friends. “Someone’s got balls now.” "Please let me be, Sloane. Step out the way," I said firmly. Maya stepped in f
JAXSON'S POVI broke out in a cold sweat fast. I gripped the edge of the desk, trying to think about literally anything else."You okay?" Clara asked, tilting her head at me. "You need something else?""No, I'm good," I said, my voice coming out rougher than I meant it to. "Just tired. Long day.""Oh. Okay." She started stacking her own notebooks. "Thank you again, by the way. For letting me keep the cash the other day."I forced myself to focus on the conversation instead of anything else going on. "Yeah, what happened, exactly? You came into my room so terrified, and you never told me the full story.""Family issue, nothing to worry about," she said quickly, not looking up. "It's handled now, and thanks again for helping out."I let it go, mostly because I didn't have the energy to push. My eyes drifted around her room instead, and I saw the book again, the same book from the car. The thick black sketchbook sat on the corner of her desk, slightly hidden under a textbook."That's the
JAXSON'S POVShe stared at me for a second like she didn't understand what I'd just said."Together? Right now?""Yeah, right now," I said. "If that's fine."She glanced back at her phone, still lit up with a call, then told someone on the line she'd call back. She hung up and stepped aside to let me in."Sit wherever," she said, pointing at the small desk chair.I sat down and pulled out my notebook, flipping to the chemistry section. "I don't get this part. The equations, the balancing stuff. I don't get any of it."She pulled her own chair closer and looked at my page. "Okay, well, what part specifically?""All of it," I said. "Just start from the beginning."She hesitated at first, stopping and starting as if she wasn't sure whether she was allowed to talk to me normally."You don't have to be nervous," I said calmly. "Just talk like you know what you're saying. Because you clearly do.""Sorry," she replied. "I'm just not used to expla
CLARA'S POVMaria opened the thick brown file carefully and pushed a single sheet of printed paper towards me; the bold letters at the top of the page clearly stated it was an official warning letter for bad behavior."Read the document very carefully and sign now," Maria instructed. "It is a formal acknowledgement of your gross disregard towards me; it clearly states you will never disrespect or disregard your superior, else you shall face severe punishment from the household management.""I will not sign anything because I did absolutely nothing wrong. Not to you, not to anyone," I said confidently, pushing the paper back. "You lied about not giving me permission when you did. You were raising your voice over a little walk to the gate. Maria, please, I'm just trying to do my job properly and take good care of Lily without any unnecessary drama.""You still have words, don't you? You're still taking back?" Maria said, genuinely surprised. "If you refuse to sign this paper right now,
JAXSON'S POV"What The Hell Is Going On In Here?" I screamed at the top of my lungs.Carl jumped back in shock and pulled up his pants; Vera covered her bare chest with her shaking hands and turned her face to the wall."Jaxson, is anyone else out there?" Carl asked, not even bothered that they were just caught."Come on, Carl, rehearsals just ended; of course there are still guys out there." “Well then, tell them not to come in now; I'm busy,” he said, turning back to Vera, who couldn't look up.I respected Carl as he was way older, but I wasn't his puppet. I turned on my heels and walked right out of the bathroom. I left the locker room entirely, still in my full fit, only changing to sneakers, and headed for my car. I started the engine with a roar and gripped the leather steering wheel with both hands, but then I paused. The crazy sight of them having sex, pressed against that bathroom wall, definitely made me feel something. I needed to let off steam; I needed to f*ck as hard.
Clara’s POVSterling Heights Academy – CafeteriaThe warm milk dripped down my hoodie, soaking into the thick fabric.I didn’t have to look up to know who it was.“Oops,” Sloane smirked. She held the empty milk carton like a trophy. “I thought that was the trash can. My bad, scholarship girl. You’r
He stared at me. I stared right back. Our eyes fixed on each other. The world did not end, though it felt like it should have. His mouth opened. "What the hell?" he screamed. "Adene? Is this a joke? Are you stalking me now?" "Jaxson." Maria appeared behind him, but her eyes moved straigh
I stared at the screen until the light burned my eyes. Removed from the W******p group. Then from the squad. What for? What was my offense? My phone rang out. Maya was calling. I picked up. "Clara? Are you seeing this?" Maya’s voice was frantic. "I just saw the notification. I tried to message
I couldn’t speak.“She’s fading, Clara,” he continued. "Every hour we wait is an hour we don’t get back. If we delay much longer, she might not make it.”The doctor walked away to check on another patient."I’ll get the money, sir. I’ll try," I whispered as he went.My phone buzzed in my hand. I lo
