From my Bully to CEO Chapter 45
PastGrayson's pov:She stared at me like I had just handed her a weapon.But she reached forward anyway and slipped her fingers past the collar of my shirt. The brush of her knuckles against my neck was light but fuck, it lit me up like gasoline meeting flame.She tugged it out from underneath my shirt. The ring dangling from it slid down and clinked softly against my sternum, warm from my skin.“Family ring?” She asked, pulling it gently between two fingers and observing the crest.The dark green background with a V enclosed by another, inverted V.I nodded.The space between us was suffocating, the air charged wrong in all the right ways. She shouldn’t be holding it, shouldn’t even be this close to me, but here she was with her hand splayed against my chest, staring at me with a look I couldn’t decipher.“You’re proud of your family name,” she said matter-of-factly. “Why hide the ring like this?”I stiffened. I should’ve brushed her off. I should’ve leaned back, put distance betwee
From my Bully to CEO CHAPTER 44
PASTGRAYSON’S POV:Detention day two was in the records room on the second floor.Which was ridiculous, because I was pretty sure they were inventing new locations just to torture us. I hadn’t even known the school owned a records room.And staying true to its non-existent reputation, the room was a mess.The place was about the size of a classroom, lined with floor-to-wall shelves sagging under the weight of forgotten files. Dust hung so thick in the air it scratched at my throat with every breath. It was the kind of room that made me think arson might not be such a terrible idea in some cases.The others had disappeared behind different shelves as soon as Mr Garrison had walked out the room, warning us that he’ll be checking back in fifteen minutes.Theo went straight to Maya, and within seconds they were knee-deep in the most recent calculus problem they were solving in class. Josh and Nathan had sulked off together to find a secluded spot where they could hide and do nothing in

PastSelene's Pov:Maya shrugged. “It’s better down here. You should try it.”His frown melted instantly into a grin directed at her. “You’re supposed to be reshelving, Saeed.”“Not like you and the boys are doing anything groundbreaking down there,” she shot back.Theo’s eyes glinted. “No, not really. They’re making forts from books.”Maya snorted. “Wow. Real mature.”He laughed before his gaze finally landed on me and he turned serious. His posture straightened.“Well, uh,” he began, scratching the back of his neck, “I just wanted to apologize. To you, Selene.”My eyebrows shot up.“Excuse me?” I said, pushing myself up on one elbow so I could stare at him properly.Theo shifted his weight from foot to foot, looking like he’d rather be anywhere else. Before he could speak, Maya sat up, folding her legs underneath her, cutting in.“Do you want me to leave?” she asked, tone deliberately casual but her brows lifted in question.Theo shook his head immediately. “No. You can stay.” He
From my Bully to CEO CHAPTER 42
PASTSELENE’S POV:The first detention task was to reshelve the library.Which, honestly, made the whole thing feel a lot less like punishment.Additionally, Crescent High’s library was a mini mansion in itself and I already lost the boys after one aisle. It was a relief like no other. At least I didn’t have to spend the next hour staring at their smug faces.If I got lucky, maybe all five detentions would be here.Maya shoved a fat history volume into the stack I was holding with more force than was necessary and I groaned under the weight. My arms were starting to hurt.“I said sorry,” she rolled her eyes at me.“I can’t believe I have to waste five hours of my life because of you.”“Nobody asked you to follow after me back then,” I pointed out, pulling another history book from the fantasy section. “You could’ve stayed behind and saved yourself all that trouble..”She cut me a look, like I committed a crime by being logical.“Oh, right. I should’ve just let you implode in front of

PastSelene's pov:Grayson's pupils dilated, fingers curling around my fist as he freed himself from my grip almost effortlessly.“Are you fucking insane, Hale?” He asked, voice gruff.“You saw me talking to him after class,” I shot back, refusing to back down, “and you decided to make a joke out of me.”I was sure of it. Grayson was the only other person in the class that day, after everyone else had left, lingering behind for some reason or another.“Despite what you might believe, Ninety Eight -” Grayson drawled, lip curling in a sneer. “I don’t spend every waking moment thinking of you.”Heat flooded me but this felt different from the rage I was feeling. His grip on my wrist tightened, his thumb pressing deliberately against my pulse.“Then stop touching me like you do,” I hissed, yanking my wrist from within his grip.I hadn’t even fully thought out my words before speaking them and I only realized what I said when I noticed the dark flicker in his eyes. He let me go as if I bur
From my Bully to CEO CHAPTER 40
PASTSELENE’S POV:Homecoming had come and gone in a blur. It was all a little too extravagant compared to the events at my old public school.Back there, I had thrown myself into everything—volunteering, showing up. I loved it, managing stressful events, dressing up, dancing to my heart’s desire. But here, I had not bothered.Partly because I couldn’t stomach the thought of looking pathetic, standing around a dance floor without a partner. But mostly because nothing in this place felt like mine yet.And I wasn’t sure it ever would. So I stopped waiting for that feeling.I swung my bag over my shoulder, rubbing absentmindedly at the streak of graphite on my hand as I headed for the door, barely paying attention to anything around me.“Miss Hale, a moment?”The sound of my name brought me back to the present and I turned around to see Mr Wilde observing me with an inscrutable look on his face.My mind raced back over the lesson, searching for what I might have done wrong, but I came u
