ログインLila only wanted to fit in for this one night and this one party. So she had one fake boyfriend to keep her from feeling invisible in a sea of confident smiles and perfect couples. It was supposed to be simple until her fake date ditched her under the blinding strobe lights, leaving her stranded and humiliated in the middle of the hockey team’s Freshers Welcome Party. But humiliation took an unexpected turn when Ethan, her best friend’s brother, and worse, her brother’s best friend stepped in to save her. That moment should have been the start of something new. Instead, it became the beginning of everything she never saw coming. Because while her heart recognized something in his eyes, his stayed shuttered, cold and unreachable. And just when she thought she was ready to forget, the fake boyfriend returns, this time, asking for something real. Between two hearts that shouldn’t collide and a past that refuses to stay buried, Lila must choose: follow the safety of what she knows, or risk everything for what she can’t seem to let go of?
もっと見るMason and I walked back to the dorm quietly. Dad left a while ago after the discussion, and we are on our way back too. “Ethan…” Mason called. “Hmmm.” I replied, glancing at him briefly. “Do you think we can do this?” He asked. I exhaled slowly. “There is no harm in trying.” I muttered. He sighed. “Ok, we will try our best.” The silence returned as we walked to the dorm. It was from the entrance of the dorm. I know something is not quite right. The air around felt cold, and there were students at the entrance that were more than usual.We glanced at each other and walked past the gathered students into the dorm. The air was not too different inside; students still gathered in groups, whispering among themselves.Mason could no longer take the curiosity and walked towards three students who were discussing among themselves. I rolled my eyes, but I followed anyway.“Hey man, what's up?” He shook hands with one of the students.“Yeah, I'm good.” The students replied.“What's going
Dad exhaled slowly immediately Lila and Ava were out of sight, and he turned to us. “Lead me to the security office.” He muttered.I frowned. “Why?”He narrowed his eyes at me." Did I have to discuss that with you?"I shook my head. “No.”“Lead the way.” He tilted his head.Mason and I led the way to the female dormitory security office, and Dad followed behind us.“What's going on?” Mason whispered to me.I shrugged. “No idea.”The security office is just at the corner of the female dormitory, near the pool side where we did the pool party. We walked for just two minutes, and we were there. I stopped and turned to my dad. “We are here.” I muttered.“Ok, wait for me here.” He said and entered alone.Mason and I glanced at each other. What exactly is my dad here for? I asked in my head.“Hey, what do you think your dad is doing in there?” Mason asked.I rolled my eyes. “I won't be this confused if I know.” I mumbled.Mason tilted his head. “He is not here to report, Jake, is he?” “Tha
Mason looked between us slowly and confused, definitely noticing something was wrong now. “What do you mean?” He asked, but I gave no response.Ava quickly stepped in before he could say more. “Can we not do this here?” she muttered. “It won't be nice if Dad meets us doing this.” Her hold on my arm tightened.I exhaled shakily and breathed in slowly, but before I could release the breath, what we feared happened. “Doing what?” Came the deep voice of Ava's dad. We turned sharply, and the breath I was about to release went back in instantly. “D… Dad.” Ava was the first to rise to her feet. “Uncle…” I stood on my feet too. Then Ethan and Mason followed.“What were you talking about?” Uncle asked again. We all glanced at each other, then Ava suddenly moved closer to him with a forced smile. “Dad…” She rushed into his arms.Uncle narrowed his eyes and stared at us, but we flashed him a smile.He broke the hug with Ava and held her shoulder. Ava flashed him a smile too. “Now, this is g
“Lila, listen to me, he…“ Ava tried to move closer to me, but I stopped her. “I know he is your brother, but that doesn't mean you can do this; it's just like reopening my old wound and giving me false hope.”She shook her head. “No, no, Lila, that's not what I'm doing, but my brother really likes her; that's the truth.”I scoffed. “Well, I don't like him anymore. The moment he said he doesn't like me, I stopped liking him also, so he has no right to be jealous and hurt me with his words.” I snapped. She exhaled slowly. “Ok, I'm sorry, and I want you to know that I'm not trying to find an excuse for his actions; I was just worried about you two.”I forced a smile. “Well, you don't have to; I'm over your brother, so you don't have to play the matchmaker.” I rolled my eyes. “Sorry about that.” She muttered. “It's fine.” I said." Let go now; we are the only ones left presently." I looked around.We walked out of the class awkwardly, with both of us in our own separate thoughts. Oh go
I stood outside my brother’s apartment. Pacing around and fidgeting with my hands. I took a deep breath but each time I stepped closer to the door, I chickened out, my hands trembling as cold sweat traveled down my spine. My throat bobbed knowing what waits for me behind that door the moment I ope
“Lila, are you out of your mind? Moving in with a guy? With Jake no less?” Mason roared as I stood in front of him in his living room. The anger was evident in every word that rolled off his tongue, the way his fist clenched, the way his eyes held this content I had never seen before. He hated th
“Oh sorry, I just had to greet my girlfriend, you don’t mind, do you, Ethan?” Jake muffled, eyes glaring at Ethan who remained silent and annoyingly and extremely composed. He didn’t even flinch.Instead, he turned to me, “See you.” He turned to Jake and glared at him and without having to hear Eth
I found the brakes, and we were in the middle of the road. The cars around us kept honking, and the drivers kept yelling.“If you want to die, get off the road,”“Jump over the bridge or something, you losers.”“Hey, fuck off the middle of the highway!”They kept yelling, and it was obvious from th
