    The Sports Festival announcement already had the whole school acting insane, but the real chaos started two days later during morning assembly.Principal Gage stepped up to the microphone with the same expression teachers used right before ruining everybody’s peace.“Due to the increased interest in this year’s showcase,” she announced, “we’ll also be holding a three-day leadership and training camp next weekend at the state park for participating athletes.”The gym got loud immediately.“Cabins, team-building exercises, strategy sessions, and additional training opportunities will all be included. College scouts are paying very close attention this year, so attendance is strongly encouraged.”Somebody near the back yelled, “So basically summer camp with emotional trauma.”Half the gym started laughing.Coach looked exhausted already.I sank lower in my seat while people around me immediately started talking over each other about cabin assignments and sneaking alcohol.Three days at c

  • Edges Of Us   Open Door Disaster

    Nobody moved after Lila spoke.Music still pounded downstairs hard enough to shake the floor, but up in the hallway everything felt weirdly quiet. Too quiet.Lila looked between all three of us again like her brain was trying to process the scene and failing miserably.Kai leaned back against the wall first, completely unbothered somehow. “Okay wow, your timing is actually insane.”Lila blinked once. “Kai.”“What?”“What the actual hell am I looking at right now?”“That’s honestly a difficult question.”I dragged a hand down my face immediately. “This is not helping.”Mason still stood close behind me, one hand resting low against my waist like he forgot it was there. Lila’s eyes dropped to it instantly before snapping back up to my face.“You kissed Kai?”“No,” Kai answered before I could speak. “Technically I kissed him.”“That is somehow worse.”“I thought honesty mattered.”Lila stared at him like she wanted to throw him down the stairs.Meanwhile I was seconds away from spontaneo

  • Edges Of Us   The Derek Holloway’s Party

    By Thursday morning, nobody in school could focus on anything except Derek Holloway’s party.The announcement happened halfway through first period after mrs Linda left the classroom for a phone call. Derek stood on top of his chair like an idiot while everybody yelled at him to get down.“My parents are leaving for Chicago tomorrow,” he announced proudly. “Which means my house is legally becoming public property Friday night.”The classroom exploded immediately.“No way.”“You’re lying.”“Bro your neighbors are calling the cops for sure.”Derek pointed dramatically. “That sounds like future Derek’s problem.”Even the teacher looked tired already.People started throwing questions at him from every direction while he laughed through all of it. Somebody asked if alcohol would be there. Derek just grinned and said, “I’m not answering questions that could incriminate me.”Lila leaned toward me from the desk beside mine. “You’re going.”“I wasn’t planning to.”“You literally never plan t

    After the hallway conversation, things between me and Mason changed so fast it almost gave me whiplash. Not officially. Nothing was defined. Nothing was labeled. We still weren’t whatever normal people would call us. But the feelings between us had changed into something softer now, something heavier too because neither of us could really hide from it anymore. Mason liked me. Actually liked me and somehow knowing that made every little interaction feel ten times more dangerous. Especially because now he stopped pretending his attention toward me was accidental. His hand would settle on my lower back while passing behind me and stay there half a second longer than necessary. His texts came more often now, random little check-ins during the day that somehow became the part of my schedule I looked forward to most. Have you eaten yet? Is the hospital okay today? Are you alive or dramatic? The stupid thing was I answered every single time almost immediately. Which Lila found deep

  • Edges Of Us   Exposed

    Mason avoided me for two straight days after the locker room conversation. Not completely. That would've almost been easier to deal with because at least then I could’ve gotten angry properly. Instead he did this annoying half-distance thing where he still talked to me during practice, still stood beside me during drills, still texted me every night asking if I ate or slept, but the second things started feeling too close emotionally, he pulled back again like somebody yanked him by the throat. And honestly? It pissed me off way more than it should probably have. By Wednesday morning I was already in a terrible mood before school even started because Mason had left me on read the night before after I asked if he was okay. Which was insane behavior on my part because since when did I care about being left on read? Lila noticed immediately the second I sat beside her in the homeroom. “You look homicidal.” “I’m fine.” “That answer sounded violent.” I dropped my head against the

  • Edges Of Us   Lovey Dovey Fight

    After the hospital hallway incident, Mason started acting weird. Which honestly should’ve been impossible considering he always acted weird all the time, but somehow this was different. Before, his whole thing was tension and jealousy and staring at me like he wanted to either fight me or pin me against the nearest wall depending on the day. Now it felt like he was trying very hard not to do either. And somehow that was worse. Because now I noticed everything. The hesitation before he touched me during lifts. The way his eyes lingered on my mouth for half a second too long before he looked away. How his voice dropped lower whenever we were alone like he was scared somebody else would hear the softness in it. It was driving me insane. “You look miserable,” Lila announced during lunch while stealing one of my fries without permission. “I am miserable.” “That’s not true. You look emotionally constipated, which is different.” Kai snorted into his drink across the table. “That’s act
