LENA

“What do you mean we can't be together?” I asked, my voice breaking.

He tried to avoid my gaze. “You don't need me to explain it to you, Lena. You already know why, don't make this hard for the both of us,” he said, through gritted teeth.

My heart sank, but I wasn't willing to back down. “I know you feel something for me. That's why you always try to scrutinize me in class, because you're fighting it.”

He turned and yelled, “If you know, why are you still here, Lena?”

“Because I don't want you too,” I answered. “I want you too, what I feel for you is beyond a student and teacher relationship. I want something more with you.”

I started taking a step forward, while he took another step backwards. “You don't know what you're saying, Lena. You could get in trouble if they find out.”

“They won't,” I tried convincing him.

He swallowed. “I'm not who you think I am. You could get hurt,”

“Let me worry about that,” I replied.

I continued making slow strides towards him and this time, he

    LENAThe door to Adrian's office slammed behind me hard enough to make it rattle. My hands shook as I stormed down the hallway, my nails digging half-moons into my palms. He couldn't even say anything to me. No explanation. No apology. Just that infuriatingly blank expression and different excuses.“Hey, trouble.”I nearly jumped out of my skin. Jeremy leaned against the wall by the exit, his hands shoved in his pockets. “You look like you're about to murder someone.”“You're still here?” I muttered. He pushed off the wall, falling into step beside me. “Yeah, I was worried.”“There’s no need to be, wanna get lunch?” I responded.“Yeah sure,” he smiled. “Lee, are you sure you're okay?”I nodded and walked to the cafeteria with him.Ava nearly choked on her soda when she saw us approaching. “Who's this?”“Jeremy,” I said, sliding into the booth. “We grew up together.”Mike's eyebrows shot up. “Childhood friends? How come we've never heard of you?”“Because someone,” I nudged his foo

    ADRIANThe sight stopped me dead in my tracks.It was Lena laughing with some blond bastard that had his hands on her waist, leaning in too close as she tilted her head back, immediately, something primal snapped in my chest. My voice cut through their conversation before I could stop it. Lena stiffened instantly, those wide eyes flashing with surprise and something else—guilt? The boy had the audacity to smirk at me, like he had any right to stand there touching what was mine. I barely recognized the words coming out of my mouth. The command to meet me in my office left no room for argument. The boy—Jeremy, she'd called him—tried to interject with that casual arrogance only the young and stupid could muster.I didn't even look at him. My entire world had narrowed to the rapid pulse fluttering at Lena's throat, the way her lips parted in shock. I turned away before I did something unforgivable in front of half the student body. The walk to my office was a blur of white-knuckle

    LENA“Rise and fucking shine, sleeping beauties!” Mike bellowed, as the door exploded open, crashing against the wall hard.I jerked awake, my heart slamming against my ribs as Mike strolled into our dorm like he owned the place, whistling some obnoxious pop song.“I'm sure y'all missed me.” He exclaimed, flipping the lights on with one hand while tossing a greasy paper bag onto Ava's face with the other. The smell of bacon grease and cheap coffee immediately filled the room.Ava let out a guttural noise from beneath her comforter, something between a groan and a death threat. “I swear to Christ, Mike fucking Reynolds, I will end you.”I squinted at my phone. “It's seven in the goddamn morning.”“And you've got Lit with Doyle in forty-five minutes,” Mike said, plopping onto the edge of the couch hard enough to make me bounce. “Up. Now. Before I start dumping water on you.”“Since when do you care about our attendance?” I asked, rubbing my eyes.“Since forever,” Mike said, rummaging th

    EVELYN“Pathetic little man!” I thought to myself as the elevator doors slid shut, finally sealing away the lingering stench of Doyle's cheap cologne and the bitter tang of his desperation.I pressed the sanitizer bottle three times, working the gel between my fingers. I thought about the way that stupid Doyle had wasted my evening. His clammy hands fumbling with his whiskey glass, I didn't blame him, I'm sure he had never had a taste of expensive liquor. I got into my penthouse and went straight to the bar, my fingers curling around the chilled vodka bottle. I poured myself a glass and swirled it around.Doyle's eager face flashed in my memory—the way his pupils had dilated when I'd dangled Adrian's office, his title, his life in front of him like cheap trinkets. A trained dog salivating at the promise of table scraps. I took a sip of my drink and the tumbler hit the counter with more force than necessary. I got my phone and stared at Gregory's contact photo which was staring ba

    LENAThe dorm room was dark when I pushed open the door, the blue glow of the TV flickering across Ava's blank expression. Some romantic comedy played silently—the kind we used to mock together while eating cheap pizza. Now she just sat curled in on herself, staring without seeing.I dropped my bag with a thud that should've made her jump. Nothing. “Since when did you like these boring TV shows?” I tried to keep my voice light as I kicked off my shoes. The left one hit the wall harder than intended.Ava didn't turn from the screen. “Since today.”I hovered by the couch, suddenly unsure. The room smelled like stale popcorn and the lavender candle Ava loved. Normal things. Everything should feel normal now that Nathan was in custody.Sinking onto the couch, I stole a corner of her blanket. On screen, some actress laughed at a joke we hadn't heard. The sound was too bright, too loud in the heavy silence.“You missed the good part,” Ava murmured. “They just met cute.”I watched the coupl

    MIKEThe security office smelled like stale coffee as I got in. I slapped the flash drive down on the desk hard enough to make the campus cop jump. “Nathan Cole’s full confession,” I said. “Time-stamped, high-def, and complete with his ugly crying face.”The officer—some balding guy with a nametag reading ‘Higgins’—eyed the flashdrive like it might bite him. “You’re Reynolds? The one who’s been emailing us about—”“For three fucking weeks, yeah.” I leaned over his desk. “Watch it. Then arrest that piece of shit.”Higgins sighed but plugged it in. The video popped up—Nathan’s tear-streaked face, his voice cracking as he admitted everything. How he’d followed Ava that night. How he’d— I looked away, grinding my teeth. Higgins’ expression darkened. “I’ll call the dean.” As I paced inside Ava's dorm, they were not around, I decided to go home but decided to text Dante first. Instead his text lit up the screen: “You good?” I typed back, “They’re taking him in now. Meet me at my
