The new day at Virelade started like the usual with tight schedules, stiff uniforms, and the constant pressure of being around the best of the best.

I was doing my best to blend in, with my head hanging low and keeping my voice lower so they couldn't suspect me and keeping the whole "I'm totally a guy named Seth" act perfect.

That worked for about five minutes.

Luca slid into the seat beside me in Lit class,he came towards me all grin and attitude. "Morning, sunshine."

I blinked. "Huh?"

He smirked. "Your hair's a mess,kind of a sexy mess though. Like you just rolled out of bed after a wild night ."

"Dude," I muttered, praying the floor would swallow me.

"Relax, Seth. I'm just being friendly. You looked tense,want me to massage your shoulders or something?" He wiggled his eyebrows.

My face burned as i shifted in my seat, trying to laugh it off. "Pretty sure that breaks like ten rules."

From the front row, Kael turned his head slightly just slightly towards us. But his gaze was nowher

  • HIS ROOMMATE WAS A LIE    Chapter 40

    Kael povI shouldn’t be feeling this way.And yet… I couldn’t stop it.Seth. That boy; my roommate, the one I told myself I could ignore, the one I insisted didn’t was the one I kept thinking about all the damn time. He was… infuriating charming in ways I didn’t understand. Always flustered, always scrunching his face in a way that made my chest tighten without warning. And the worst part? I didn’t even know why I cared so much.I knew I was straight. I’d always known. Girls didn’t make me feel like this and yet, Seth’s smile, his subtle confidence, the way he leaned over his books, pretending to study but somehow catching my gaze made me want things I shouldn’t want.The amount of jealousy I felt every time Luca lingered too close, or even glanced at him with that sly smirk, something inside me burned. I hated it. Hated it, hated it, hated it.I caught myself wanting to—no, needing to—assert my claim, show the world that Seth wasn’t just anyone. He was mine. I should be the one teas

  • HIS ROOMMATE WAS A LIE    Chapter 39

    Sera POV“Hey, Seth… did you see that?” Luca’s voice cut through the chatter of the cafeteria, close enough that I could feel the warmth of his presence.I looked up from my tray, forcing a neutral smile. “Uh… what?”He leaned casually on the edge of the table, eyes sparkling with mischief. “Nothing. Just– wondering why Kael keeps glaring at us.”I froze mid-bite. My heart thudded painfully against my ribs. Kael glaring… at us? At me? I swallowed hard and shook my head, trying to focus on my lunch. “I… don’t know.”I knew why he kept glaring at us. After what happened last night,I bet he was still furious about my actions.Luca smirked, clearly not buying it, but he didn’t press further. Still, his presence was impossible to ignore. He always had this way of closing in without making it feel like he was, until suddenly you were painfully aware of him being near.I looked down, trying to concentrate on my fork, but my mind was elsewhere. Kael’s absence. The way he hadn’t spoken to me

  • HIS ROOMMATE WAS A LIE    Chapter 38

    Chapter 38 Sera POVI couldn’t breathe my chest felt tight, my stomach kept twisting uncomfortably with every thought about how Juliette came to know about my secret“What if… what if she tells everyone?” I whispered, pressing my trembling hands to my face. My voice was barely audible and my knees were drawn up to my chest, the blanket bunched in my shaking hands. “What if Kael hates me… what if...”I didn’t even finish the thought. The memory of Juliette’s smirk flashed behind my eyes. The way she had held my things,pads, tampons were the complete proof of my secret. Proof that I wasn’t the boy everyone believed me to be. A proof that could ruin everything I had fought for since stepping foot in Virelade Academy.Alexander’s warning to Juliette was supposed to make me feel safe. I should have felt relief but I didn’t. My hands shook more violently now, and I clutched the blanket tighter, imagining Juliette standing there, holding it all over again, trying to humiliate me.I curled m

  • HIS ROOMMATE WAS A LIE    Chapter 37

    Kael POVThe moment I realized someone had seen me kiss Seth, my blood went cold but not because of embarrassment or fear but it was this primal feeling of possessiveness which was consuming my whole body. I had to find out who it was and make sure they would stay quiet ,as much as I want to flaunt that Seth was mine or going to be mine,I don't think Seth would be comfortable with that.I moved through the bodies of students in the celebration hall, careful not to draw attention. The music thumped behind me, laughter and chatter fading as I followed the movement of the one who noticed us from across the room. My thumped with every step I took. Whoever had seen us would regret it if they even try to breathed a word to anyone.Then I saw a figure slipping down the hall, glancing over their shoulder. They hadn’t noticed me yet and that was good. That made this easier.I quickened my pace, and By the time they reached the stairwell, and I cornered them.Turns out it was a virelade guy.

  • HIS ROOMMATE WAS A LIE    Chapter 36

    Sera povAfter the game, we had lunch and the teachers threw an after party for both academies. All students were currently in the hall,others were drinking while others were dancing considering the Aldich girls were here too.“Come on, Seth! You’re just standing there!” Theo nudged me, laughter in his voice as he waved a cup of punch. “At least dance a little!”I shook my head, tugging lightly at the hem of my jacket. “I… don’t really know how.” My gaze shifted nervously across the hall where students from both academies crowded the place. The music was too loud for my liking, lights were spinning in different colors that will certainly bring me headache, and the scent of expensive perfume and alcohol mixed in made my stomach twist uncomfortably.Theo rolled his eyes. “Relax! It’s a celebration, not a test!”“I know,” I muttered, but my focus wasn’t on the music. It was on the boys. Kael, Alexander, Luca, and River seemed to be mingling, laughing, and occasionally shoving each other

  • HIS ROOMMATE WAS A LIE    Chapter 35

    Chapter 35 Sera POVToday was academy sports day and the teachers decided it is better if we do it with Aldich girls academy. I was on the sidelines cheering for the boys who were currently playing football on the field.“Come on, River! You can do better than that!” I shouted from the sidelines, waving my hands frantically.River shot me a sheepish grin, tugging his jersey as he ran down the field. “I’m trying! It’s not exactly my sport! I better swim all day but not this!”I rolled my eyes but couldn’t stop smiling. Watching him try so hard made my day . Maybe cheering for someone else would distract me from… everything else.Luca was laughing on the field, clearly enjoying himself as he passed Kael, who scowled but stayed focused. Kael’s jaw tightened as Luca kicked the ball again this time intentionally slamming it straight toward him.The smack of the ball hitting Kael’s chest made him stumble, and I winced reflexively. The way Kael’s eyes narrowed, flicking toward Luca, I knew
