CARTER

I watched Asher race down the giant indoor slide over and over again, having a field day.

My thoughts, however were nowhere near the inner child he’d suddenly unearthed. Jaxon came gliding down at top speed a second later, colliding right into Asher’s back and sending them both tumbling onto the marble floor below.

“What the fuck, man?” Asher grumbled, pushing himself up and adjusting his tortoiseshell shirt.

    SIENNA (TWO WEEKS AGO)“Are you okay?” Asher asked again, noting my distant look. “I’ve already agreed to help you get Ally and Carter back together,” I replied, swirling the ice in my glass. “No need to pretend to care.” “Actually, Sienna. I do care. You didn’t deserve to be spoken to like that by the cocksucker.” I couldn’t help but flash a little smile. “I appreciate you looking out for me.” Asher simply nodded. “I can drop you at your apartment if you want.” I snickered. “Then our big secret plan goes down in shambles. Asher, no one can know we’re doing this, especially, Ally.” “Okay. Well, I’m getting bored of the drinks at Cocktail Inn. Want to grab a proper drink with me?” “Where?” I asked quietly, leaning forward and planting my index finger on my mouth, my thumb tucked under my chin.“The off-campus hockey house.” His lips twisted into a mischievous smile. I giggled. “What’s this really about Asher?” I leaned back against m

    ALLISONMy eyes widened and my heart stopped beating as we pressed against the back of the stall door. I stared up at the ceiling, fighting with everything in me to prevent the tears from falling. I was so disappointed with myself.We waited for infinity for the curious intruder to grow tired and disappear. When the last faucet shut off and a heavy door slam echoed through the room, I was convinced whoever it was had left. I released my breath in a thankful rush, relief swamping my entire being as I burst out of the cramped stall, rushing over to the mirror to inspect myself. It was just as bad as I suspected; I looked dreadful. My eyes were swimming with unshed tears, my lips swollen and red, and my cheeks were flushed. I looked harassed. If the word ashamed had a face, it would have looked like mine.“Lis, wait. I’m sorry.” Carter’s voice lingered behind me. He knew this was prohibited. If anyone was caught making out in the school bathrooms,

    ALLISONIt was eight-thirty on the first Monday morning after Thanksgiving break. Every student at Hawthorn Academy was crammed into the auditorium for the periodic all-grade assembly—a forty-minute stretch where nothing out of the ordinary or interesting was ever said, just an endless stream of event announcements we’d probably already gotten a whiff of, academic reminders and all the typical high school tackle. I was operating on maximum annoyance. Sienna was nowhere to be found, even though I’d saved a seat for her, and surviving these assemblies without your best friend to suffer alongside you was a special kind of hell. Kinda like a buzzkill. “This seat is taken,” I said, offering a faint, polite smile as I planted my hand firmly on the chair next to me.Mindy wasn’t buying it. She scoffed, cocking her head to glare down at me. “Unless there’s a ghost in our midst, I don’t see anyone sitting there, Ally.”Where the hell was this girl? “S

    ALLISONI gulped, my breath catching in my throat as my palms went slick with sweat.“Carter. What… what are you doing here? How…how did you even know—““Sweetheart, I invited him over for dinner,” my dad interrupted, coming around the counter with a broad grin. “He came from far away. North Carolina, correct?” My eyes snapped from Carter’s face to my clueless father, who was standing there looking completely pleased with himself, entirely unaware that he’d just dropped a bomb on me. “No, Dad.” I said quickly, my voice tight. “He’s not staying.” I turned back to Carter, glaring at his hunky face. “You can’t stay. Right? Tell my dad.” I gave him a stern pointed look. Carter let a slow, infuriating smirk touch his lips. “Actually, I’d love to stay for dinner. Thank you so much, Mr. Monroe. That’s extremely kind of you.”I threw my head back, squeezing my eyes shut before he shot me one of his smug, cocky looks and smiled. I huffed. And Sienna?

    ALLISONI pulled in a deep breath, filling my lungs as I closed my eyes. Home sweet home. Nothing could beat the familiar, comforting scent of lavender and clean linen. I smiled softly, splayed my arms, and flopped backwards onto my parents’ bed with a squeak, my mind involuntarily drifting as I stared up at the ceiling. I missed my mom so much.I missed the long afternoons we used to spend tending to the lavender in our backyard, or training the grapevines sprawling over the garden trellis. I simply missed her, her beautiful smile, her quiet laugh. She had been an angel, and part of me still believed she was watching over my dad and me every single day. I clambered to my feet, my eyes skimming the walls framed with photos of her. The sheets she loved so much were neatly bunched into the corners. If I leaned in, I could swear I could still smell her perfume. The room hadn’t changed one bit. Dad kept everything exactly as she’d left it. Fresh

No weird noises from you guys.” He jabbed a warning finger at us, narrowing his dark brown eyes before wandering away. “Wait, what happened to Tiffany?” Asher called out, chuckling. Hudson paused, giving a nonchalant shrug.“We didn’t click.” He waved a hand over his shoulder and disappeared up the stairs with girl number two. My friends were such sluts. And coming from me, that was sayi
