Astrid’s POV

The TV flickered in front of me but none of it registered.

I was sitting cross-legged on the couch, staring at the screen like I was actually watching something, but my mind was miles away.

Every few seconds, my fingers would tighten around the edge of the throw pillow on my thigh, then loosen again, like my body couldn’t decide what to do with all the restless energy sitting inside me.

The house felt too quiet.

Every little sound ranging from the ticking clock, the hum of the ref

    Astrid’s POV“Girllll,” Dawn screamed, clapping her hand over her mouth a second later when a couple at the next table turned to stare.“Lower your voice,” I hissed, shrinking into my seat as heat rushed up my neck and settled stubbornly in my cheeks.We were seated by the window of a small restaurant just off campus. Sunlight spilled across the polished tables as soft music hummed in the background. It should have been calming, grounding even, but my nerves were too tightly wound for me to enjoy any of it.“I did not sleep with him,” I repeated under my breath, gripping my glass of water like it was the only thing keeping me anchored.Dawn leaned forward, her eyes sharp, curious, and entirely too invested. “But you almost did.”Looking away quickly, I swallowed hard. Dawn wasn’t wrong.Images from last night flashed through my mind uninvited; his hands, his mouth, and the way my body had responded so

    Ocean’s POVThe moment she walked out of my room, something in me followed her. Not physically but mentally.I stood there for a few seconds after she left, staring at the door like she might come back, like she might say something that would make sense of what had just happened.But she didn’t.The silence in my room stretched, heavy and unforgiving. Letting out a low sigh, I dragged a hand through my hair and let out a slow breath before turning away, walking back into my room like I could outrun the tension still clinging to my skin.I couldn’t.I dropped onto the edge of my bed, elbows on my knees and palms pressed hard into my eyes.What the hell was that?A bitter laugh left me as I leaned back, staring at the ceiling.“I want her,” I muttered under my breath.It wasn’t a new feeling but tonight, it felt different because now I wasn’t just watching her from a distance or playing some twisted game with Reis.I had tasted and felt it.And it was messing with my head badly.I sat

    Astrid’s POVThe TV flickered in front of me but none of it registered.I was sitting cross-legged on the couch, staring at the screen like I was actually watching something, but my mind was miles away. Every few seconds, my fingers would tighten around the edge of the throw pillow on my thigh, then loosen again, like my body couldn’t decide what to do with all the restless energy sitting inside me.The house felt too quiet.Every little sound ranging from the ticking clock, the hum of the refrigerator, and even my own breathing felt amplified.Just when I was going to get lost in my thoughts, the soft click of the front door unlocking made me snap my head up instantly.My heart followed, slamming hard against my ribs as I wondered who it was. Finally, the door opened and Ocean stepped in, closing the door behind him slowly. Tossing the throw pillow aside, I pushed myself off the couch. “You’re back,” I said, the words rushing out before I could filter them.He didn’t respond and

    Reis’s POVI didn’t answer immediately.For a second, it felt like someone had reached inside my chest and twisted my heart, leaving me hollow and off balance. Ocean’s question hung in the air, heavy and offensive, echoing louder in my head than it should have.Was I the one who planted the drugs?The audacity.My jaw tightened as I stared at him, searching his face for any hint that he was joking, that this was just another one of his mind games but there was nothing.Just that same cold, steady gaze that always made it feel like he was ten steps ahead of me. “What the hell do you mean by that?” I snapped, my voice sharper than I intended.Ocean didn’t flinch, he didn’t even blink.“That’s exactly what I asked,” he replied calmly, sliding his phone back into his locker like we weren’t standing on the edge of tearing each other apart. “Did you do it?” He repeated with a firmer voice. A humorless laugh slipped out of me, low and bitter. “You’ve actually lost it.” I bit out but even

    Ocean’s POVLosing always left a taste in my mouth I couldn’t wash out. It wasn’t just frustration, it was sharper and heavier than that.After a loss, it always seemed like something had slipped through my fingers when I should have held on to it tighter.The locker room buzzed with low voices, the sound of gear being tossed around, lockers slamming shut, and water running somewhere in the background. Nobody was loud.Instead, the atmosphere was filled with that dull, collective irritation that came with a bad game.I sat on the bench with my elbows resting on my knees while I stared at the floor.I hadn’t played like myself.My passes were off, my timing was worse and every time I tried to focus, my mind dragged me somewhere back to Astrid. Biting the inside of my cheek, I scrubbed a hand down my face.“Get it together,” I muttered under my breath.It was too late now.The game was done and we lost.And somehow, that wasn’t even the worst part of my night.I reached down, untying

    Astrid’s POVThe moment the door clicked shut behind Ocean, the house became quiet. It was not the comfortable kind of quiet. Instead, it was the kind that stretches too wide, settles too deep, and leaves too much space for thoughts you don’t want.I stood there for a second, staring at the door like he would decide the game didn’t matter and that staying with me did but he didn’t.And I knew he wouldn’t because I was the one who asked him to go.I wrapped my arms around myself, exhaling slowly as I turned away from the door and walked back into the living room. The couch still held the faint dip from where I had been sitting earlier, the mug of cocoa resting on the table like proof that everything that happened today wasn’t some horrible dream.I sat down slowly, leaned back then immediately sat up again.No matter how much I tried, I couldn’t get comfortable as my mind kept wandering back to everything that had happened. My chest tightened as the verdict of the committee floated
