âYo, Seth! You ready to get wrecked by Vireladeâs finest?â Luca called out as I stepped into the huge classroom, his grin way too confident for my nerves. I forced a smile, another day at a new school gotta play it cool. Luca leaned against the door like he owned the place. âDonât sweat it, man. Just act like youâve been here forever. Fake it âtil you make it, right?â âYeah, sure,â I mumbled, clutching my backpack tighter. He didn't even realized how that sentence made me feel. Absolutely horror! Then I felt someone chill standing next to me. It was River, the dude who looked like he didnât have a care in the world with dark curls and easy smile, that made you think maybe this place wasnât all bad. âTough day?â he asked, his eyes flicking to my bag. âYou could say that,â I muttered. River shrugged. âDonât freak out. Weâve all been the new guy.â Before I could relax, Alexander Voss slipped past us, with no hello, no nothing just that icy stare he always has. Dude looked like he wanted to be anywhere but here, and definitely didnât want to talk to me. âGreat,â I whispered to River. âIâm officially the freak.â River just laughed. âThatâs Voss, don't worry. He's russian royalty, basically doesnât do small talk.â Just then, Kael walked in like he owned the whole damn school. The room went dead silent no one even breathed without his permission. He didnât say a word but the way he looked at everyone made me want to disappear. Kael sat right up front, like he was king of the jungle. The teacher started blabbing about some something, but I was stuck staring at Kael instead. There was just something about him. Like he could see right through me or maybe just everyone. Lunch break came and if you ask me what did the teacher taught,then I wouldn't have any answer. Because I was busy figuring out kael or maybe oogling him for the entire lecture. during break, Luca came over, still smirking. âYo, Seth, youâre doing better than I thought. Even Kael doesnât look like he wants to throw you out the window.â I rolled my eyes. âIâm just trying not to die.â Before I could say more, Alexander passed by, shooting me a quick glare like Iâd just insulted his mom or something. âDonât mind him,â River said. âHe hates literally everyone probably thinking about his next insult.â âCool,â I muttered. The day ended with the big assembly. Everyone was packed into this huge hall that looked more like a palace than a school. Then Kael got up on stage and the whole room shut up instantly. His voice was low and sharp as he started his speech. âVirelade isnât just some fancy school. Itâs a battlefield youâre here because you earned it or because your family bought you a ticket. It doesnât matter but if you want to survive here, you prove yourself every damn day.â I swear, the whole room was hanging on his every word. Not just because he was the leader, but because you could feel something real in his voice like power and control mixed with a dare. For a second, I forgot I was supposed to be Seth, the new guy trying not to get noticed. I was just... hooked.

HIS ROOMMATE WAS A LIE Â Â Â Chapter 46
Sera POVI woke to the dull ache of exhaustion, the kind that sinks into your bones and doesnât let go, even after hours of sleep. My pillow was damp from tears I hadnât noticed falling, and my chest felt tight, like Iâd been carrying some invisible weight all night.The dorm room was quiet. I stayed still under the blanket for a long moment, listening. There were no footsteps, no voices drifting in from the hall. I swallowed hard.Everything was out. The lie, the binder, the fake identity, the secret I had protected for months. Gone. Exposed to everyone in the dorm and worse, to Kael.I couldnât stop thinking about the way he had looked at me last night before he slammed the door. The way his face had changed from confusion to something elseâanger, disbelief, something raw that I didnât understand. I shivered at the memory and pulled the blanket closer around me.My phone buzzed on the nightstand. My stomach dropped before I even looked at it.Three messages from the SC. My hands s

Luca POVI didnât remember how I got back to Riverâs room. One second I was standing in that bathroom, staring at a truth I wasnât supposed to see, and the next I was sitting on Riverâs bed with my elbows on my knees, my hands hanging uselessly between them like they didnât belong to me anymore.River stood near the window, staring out at the dark courtyard like it might give him answers if he looked long enough. He hadnât said a word since Alexander kicked us out of the bathroom. Not one joke not one sarcastic comment. That alone told me how bad this really was.âSheâs a girl,â I finally said, just to hear it out loud.River flinched.âYeah,â he said slowly. âI noticed.âI laughed, but the sound came out wrong. âFunny. I feel like my brainâs still trying to pretend it didnât.âHe turned away from the window and looked at me then, like he was trying to read my face the way he read people so easily. His own expression was pale, unsettled, out of its usual confidence.âI swear to you,â

Kael's POVI didnât stop running until my lungs burned and my chest felt like it was about to split open.The night air slapped against my face as I burst out of the dorm building. I bent over with my hands on my knees, breathing hard, trying to get my head straight.It didnât work.Nothing worked.The image wouldnât leave me, I kept replaying what I saw in the shower.I squeezed my eyes shut and swore under my breath.âNo,â I muttered. âNo, no, no.âThis couldnât be real. It had to be some sick joke or some misunderstanding. Some twisted joke the academy was playing on me like it always did. Because Seth wasnâtâcouldnât beâ a girl.My hands curled into fists so tight my nails dig into my palms.She lied to me.She lied to me every single day.She slept in my room, laughed with me. She let me look at herâtouch her arm, corner her in hallways, want her like I was losing my damn mindâand she never told me.Never told me the truth I was questioning myself, about my sexuality not knowi
HIS ROOMMATE WAS A LIE Â Â Â Chapter 43
Sera PovI waited until the dorm was a silent, no footsteps in the hall or muffled laughter from the common room. I counted to three hundred after the last door clicked shut. Then I slipped out of the room with the towel slung over my shoulder as the chest binder already itching under my hoodie. The straps had been digging into my ribs all day and every breath was a reminder that I was living half a life.When I entered in the bathroom I locked the main door behind me with a click. I peeled off my clothes fingers trembling as they worked the binderâs hooks. When it finally gave, I exhaled freely for the first time in hours.Cool air kissed my skin. My breasts were small but still visible. They ached from the compression. I rolled my shoulders, let my head fall back, and stepped under the spray.For one minute, I wasnât Seth. I was just me. Sera, tired, terrified, and finally free of the lie for sixty seconds.I shouldâve known the peace wouldnât last long when I heard the lock I
HIS ROOMMATE WAS A LIE Â Â Â Chapter 42
Sera POVI pressed my forehead harder against the door, the cheap wood cool against my skin, like it could soak up the panic that was invading my mind. Inside, Kaelâs pacing had stopped it was silence now. Heavy, waiting silence that felt worse than the stomping or screaming.My hand hovered over the knob. One twist and I would be face to face with the guy I spent weeks pretending wasnât existing. One twist and I will have to look at him after the hallway incidentâafter the way his eyes had stripped me bare without even touching me.I couldnât do this.The phone in my pocket was a enough reason to make me talk with Kael to prevent things from going too far. Julietteâs photo. Her threat.Back off, Seth. Or this goes everywhere.If I walked in there and told him, he will surely lose it and If I don't, she is gonna send it anyway. Either way, the fuse was lit.I sucked in a breath surpressing my fear, then pushed the door open. Kael was sitting on the edge of his bed with elbows on hi
HIS ROOMMATE WAS A LIE Â Â Â Chapter 41
Sera PovI couldnât breathe. Not since Kael had me pinned against the wall, his hand beside my head like a cage I didnât want to escape from. His voice was low, broken, and desperate that still echoed in my ears and haunted my mind.Why him? Why Luca?I pressed my back harder against the cool plaster of the hallway wall long after he stormed off, as if the wall could help me. My pulse was beating frantically like a drum in my throat, my wrists. My skin still burned where his fingers had brushed mine.River stood a few feet away, with his arms crossed, watching me like I was a bomb about to go off.âYou okay?â he asked, his voice softer now.I opened my mouth, but nothing came out. I wasnât okay; I was wrecked.Kael looked at me like I was the only thing in the world, like I was hisâlike I had betrayed him by existing near anyone else, and the worst part that made me want to scream was that I liked it. His possessiveness,the heat in his eyes. The way his voice cracked when he said my
