LOGINSEBASTIAN'S POV After we left St. Jose High at the end of the hearing, a few of the guys and I decided to head to Wendy's to grab something to eat. Our suspension had already started, so we basically had nothing to do while the rest of our classmates were at school getting an education. The whole drive there, my teammates wouldn't stop complaining and cussing. The idea of having to work with the St. Jose players was hard for them to accept. They were pissed. As for me, I really didn't have a problem with it. Like I'd said before, I had my own reasons for getting involved in the rivalry in the first place. Now that I didn't have to keep up the charade anymore, I didn't care about the stupid rivalry. I had no problem with any of those guys. Well... some of them were still complete assholes. But that was beside the point. There were usually barely any people at Wendy's before noon on weekdays. But after school, the place was always packed with students. We sat at our usual ta
ZAIRE'S POV "What do you think is going to happen?" Jasper asked nervously as we walked toward the school hall. It was finally Monday. The day of the disciplinary hearing. "Honestly, I don't know, man," I said, feeling just as nervous. "We'll probably get suspended." "Yeah. We done fucked up," Reggie added, pulling at the tie I had just fixed for him. "I'll be surprised if we get away with just suspension." "Fuck." Jasper swallowed hard. He looked like he was about to be sick. "Bro, I'm actually done if we get expelled. My dad already isn't talking to me. I wouldn't put it past him to kick me out of the house." "Damn." I looked at him with pity. I knew a thing or two about crap fathers like that, unfortunately. "Let's hope it ain't that bad." He nodded, letting out a heavy sigh. "Yeah." The hall was packed with players from both teams and their parents. At the front of the hall sat the disciplinary panel. Both school principals were there, along with Mr. Mayers, the chai
WILL'S POV The silence was deafening. I leaned against the headboard, trying to catch my breath. Reggie was sprawled out on the other side of the bed, breathing just as heavily. We had just done what we only ever did when we were together. Sex. That was all it had ever been and always would be between us. After Sebastian left to meet Zaire, I shamelessly texted Reggie to ask if he was down to fuck, and his horny ass didn't even hesitate. He texted me that he was at work but I should come over anyway. Turns out he lived in the basement loft of the auto shop where he worked. So why was shit awkward right now? Well... for the first time since we started sleeping together, we actually kissed. Like on the damn lips. I didn't know how it happened or who started it but the next thing I knew, we were eating each other's faces. I wished I hated it. Or at least he sucked at it so I could mock him for it. But that boy knew how to kiss just as he knew how to fuck. Now I was tor
SEBASTIAN'S POV "What are you doing with my son?" Mom asked, staring down at Zaire. Zaire slowly turned to look at me, and I could see the fear in his eyes. It was the most threatened I had ever seen him. My mom was very intimidating. She was almost as tall as me, and she had this mean look about her that a lot of people misunderstood. And that pixie cut didn't exactly help her case. But she was a good woman. Scary as hell when she wanted to, though. "Mom, we-" She raised a finger, wordlessly telling me to shut the hell up if I knew what was good for me. I immediately clapped my mouth shut. I wasn't about to argue with her. Not when she had that look on her face "Are you going to answer me, boy?" she asked Zaire. Zaire swallowed hard. "Ma'am, I-" "Don't call me ma'am." Mom crossed her arms. "Answer the question." Zaire glanced at me again. He was practically begging me with his eyes to save him. Oh boy. I swallowed and glanced back at the scary woman standing in fro
SEBASTIAN'S POV It was like opening the floodgates. That was how hard my blood rushed through my body the second my lips touched Zaire's. Uncontrollable and turbulent, so much so that I felt light headed for a split second. A groan slipped past my lips before I could stop it. I'd missed him. God... I'd missed him so freaking much. I wrapped my arms around his waist and pulled him flat against me. He immediately cupped my face, his fingers sliding into my hair as he kissed me like he'd been starving. Like he'd missed me just as much as I'd missed him. I let him have his way with me at first, letting him set the pace as our mouths moved together. His lips were warm and familiar, and somehow, after everything that had happened between us, kissing him still felt like coming home. Suddenly, Zaire stopped and pulled back slightly. A small frown etched on his gorgeous face. "Don't you want to kiss me, Seb?" I raised a brow. "I'm literally doing that." He pouted, shaking his h
SEBASTIAN'S POV "What are you going to tell him?" Will asked from where he was slumped over on my desk chair. We'd been hanging out in my room, playing some video games when Zaire texted me. I slipped on my chelsea boots and got to my feet. Straightening the waistband of my dress pants, I smoothed out my knitted polo to make sure it was still neatly tucked in. "That he has to prove he really wants to be with me," I said. "I want him too, but I can't let him hurt me again." "Hmm." Will hummed, looking me up and down. A knowing smirk formed on his face. "Did you have to dress up so hard though?" I rolled my eyes with a grin. "You know there's a dress code at the club." "I also know you could've thrown on some nice chinos and sneakers and still been perfectly fine." He laughed. "But no-you had to pull out the dress pants, the knitted polo, and the damn Patek." I turned toward the full-length mirror in the corner of my room. Damn. Maybe he had a point. I looked like I wa
SEBASTIAN’S POV "So you are a football player too, and you are still in high school?"Kai asked me as he leaned further into me. I let my arm drape loosely around his shoulder. I grinned, looking down at him."Yeah. What? Does me being a high schooler turn you off?" "What? No. I don't care if
ZAIRE’S POV"Coach is going to give us hell again today at practice. I can almost feel it," Reggie groaned, and I could almost see him replaying in his head all the torture we have been going through at practice these past two days."I mean, he's still pissed off about what went down at the bonfire
SEBASTIAN’S POVPresent time….."Gosh, you got it so bad for this guy, ain't you?" Maggie chuckled, scrolling through the pictures on my laptop. "You literally have a folder full of his photos. Oh my god, Seb!""Shut up," I groaned, burying my face into my pillow as I felt the warmth quickly gather
ZAIRE’S POVTwo years ago…I was fuming, my hands balled into fists as I busted through the doors of the arcade, with Jasper and Reggie hot on my tail. This was the place I knew I was most likely going to find that piece of shit. My heart was beating so fast in my chest, and the rage surging throug
