ANNALISE

The next day at school was a total masterclass in pretending.

I walked the busy hallways like nothing had even happened, like nothing had changed over the time between Knox and I. If it had, I refused to acknowledge it because what one didn't know always found it hard to harm them.

It wasn't easy.

But, I had spent an entire year before now learning how to keep my face still and cold around Knox Mercer, so I told myself that this was not going to be different in any way because it wa

    ANNALISEA dry scoff left my lips."Dream on, I was thinking."His brows raised."About what?""The next problem," I said.He looked at me for a moment. Then, “If you say so.” He nodded slowly and looked right back at the paper.I picked up my pen.Knox had been reaching for it too and our fingers brushed against each other in the space that grew tense.My heart jumped.He didn't withdraw his hand, and neither did I as we both just stared at each other with our breaths growing quicker with each passing second.I swallowed hard.The heat that rushed through my boy when the pad of his right thumb just began to deliberately caress my palms was rather epic to feel.My toes curled.“Annalise,” he said my name for the first time today in a voice that made my pussy to throbbing down below.“Yes?” I whispered back in a soft voice that sounded as if I was in a trance, entrapped by his eyes.I wasn't sure which one of us moved first. I wasn't even sure either of us moved at all. But the space b

    ANNALISEThe moment we arrived home, I had hardly even stepped out of the car when Knox spoke behind me in a loud voice, teasing even.“Meet me at the study in ten, or both of us get detention tomorrow.”My head whipped towards him.“Fuck you,” I hissed.He grinned.“I love you too, step sis.”“You’re impossible,” I mumbled, rolling my eyes in frustration.I turned away from him, went into the house and up the stairs with rage boiling over inside of my belly.He always found a way to infuriate me no matter how much I noticed and tried to avoid his rude ass.My shoulders twitched in a tic that made me to stop for a moment. And after it was over, I resuned walking straight to my bedroom door.The moment the door closed behind my tired ass, I collapsed onto the soft mattress with a deep sigh.“I've missed you,” I whispered to the mattress, kissing the polkadot sheets that were cold to the touch.My phone buzzed.I knew it was Knox even before I took it out of my bag and checked out the I

    ANNALISE Lunch time wasn't any different because I saw my tormentor at the cafeteria though I had chosen to sit down at the far end of a table in the corner of the dining hall.He walked up to me and dropped his tray directly across from me like the entire cafeteria was empty and this was his only option.I looked up. "There are maybe two hundred seats in this room.""I know." He sat down. "I like this one in particular."Heat rushed into my cheeks at the look in his eyes which scanned me intensely from head to toe.I swallowed hard."I'm sitting here.""I can see that." He picked up his fork. My shoulder twitched twice. "Your tic's showing, by the way, Tic-tac,” he pointed out.I set my jaw. "Your intelligence clearly is not. And don't call me that."“I will call you whatever I want, Miss goody two shoes.”He bit back a grin

If it had, I refused to acknowledge it because what one didn't know always found it hard to harm them.It wasn't easy. But, I had spent an entire year before now learning how to keep my face still and cold around Knox Mercer, so I told myself that this was not going to be different in any way because it was still the same school, the same hallways and the same boy who thought that the entire world owed him a loud standing ovation.Well, maybe today would be different, and he would leave me alone after last night shenanigans.Guess who was wrong?Me.I spotted him across the quad during the morning break where he was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed. He was flanked on all side by those his rubbish team mate friends.And the moment his dark eyes found mine, he straightened up just sli

    KNOX The bet was simple.It was stupid wager with one of the guys that I could get myself a tutor without asking for one. But it wasn't the real reason I had agreed. The real reason I did was because it was a chance to be near Annalise and rile her up. I had told myself it was the perfect ammunition for me to bring more torment to Annalise. I had picked the subject I was actually strongest in and tanked it deliberately, simple as that.And I knew the teacher would be quick to blame it on my sports and look around the classroom for the obvious candidate as tutor. I had already known who he would eventually land on.Annalise—top of the class with perfect scores and a spine like rod, coupled with a mouth that never knew when to actually quit.Not that I minded.So, when he had called us both aside after the display I put up for him to see in that corridor, I was not even surprised at all.It was my expectation.I knew exactly what he would say after handing out the test scripts beca

    KNOXMy dick was hard as fuck.I remained seated, my butt planted firmly on the seat even after my stepsister had swiftly fled the tutoring session to her bedroom before it was fully over.I just sat there in the study chair and stared at the empty seat across from me where she had been just thirty seconds earlier. She had been gone before I could say anything. Well, not that I had anything in particular to say. My eyes were still fixed on her empty seat when I realized that the rizz game between us just got a lot more dangerous now that my prey and I would both share a roof. And presently, I was not even sure that I wanted to win anymore. The textbook she had slammed shut earlier was still sitting on the desk with her fancy pink pen was still uncapped beside it.I reached over and capped it.Then I leaned back and dragged a hand through my messy hair.Footsteps on the stairs, two sets, reached me alongside my father's voice and her mother's which just drifted up from the entrance

    ANNALISE I pushed him away from me so hard and didn’t get to watch him fall as I turned to see that Mr. Dane was standing ten feet away. He kind of looked tired of the sight in the way teachers always looked when they had stopped being surprised by anything. "Step back," he ordered Knox. Knox ob

    ANNALISE "Well Well, look who we have here." That was the first thing I heard when I stepped into the hallway. My heart leapt in my chest as I felt their eyes turn to follow me. They always did. At first, it was because I was new. That excuse had expired weeks ago now because everyone at school

    ANNALISE“You must be very silly!” I cried out, my eyes widening so much they nearly popped out of their sockets.His head fell back as he burst into laughter.There was absolutely nothing amusing about this.“Don’t act so shocked, sister,” he teased, coming closer.“Step-sister,” I corrected almos

    ANNALISE The sound of the bedroom door swinging open made me stop halfway. My hands stilled over the edge of my dress which I had been lifting over my head. I spun around from the mirror to find a smirking Knox standing there. "Knox!" I yelled while yanking the hem of my dress down on instinct.
