~Claire

And that was it. What I thought would help us go back to the way we were… ended. Just like that. No warning, no goodnight—just silence. It was just like a fast moment. Could barely even remember it.

Jace walked away, like he suddenly realized we weren’t supposed to be talking. Like it was a mistake. Talking to me was suddenly one of the things he considered wrong. Can you believe that? I mean it's just.....crazy. But then thinking about it now, maybe I did deserve i

    Claire The teachers called out the names, and one by one, our "representatives" were chosen. Whitney. Shawty. Celine. Two other slay queens whose only experience in a kitchen was probably ordering food from an expensive restaurant. The realization hit immediately—none of them could cook. The other team had a mix of sporty and brainy girls, all of whom at least looked like they knew their way around a kitchen. Meanwhile, our side? A total disaster waiting to happen. Then Jace’s voice cut through the noise. “If you all don’t want to embarrass yourselves, then just let Claire do it. Add her on the list.* Silence. I stiffened as eyes turned toward me. My first instinct was to say no. I hadn’t signed up for this. But before I could speak, Whitney rolled her eyes dramatically. “Of course, you’d say that,” she scoffed, crossing

    Claire’s POVThe place was beautiful—almost too perfect. The sun hung lazily in the sky, casting golden streaks over the open field, making everything look soft and warm. The trees swayed gently, their rustling leaves filling the air with a quiet melody. The scent of fresh grass mixed with the distant aroma of wood burning, probably from where the campfire would be set up later.I took a deep breath, stretching my arms out as I stood in place, soaking it all in. The slight chill in the air was refreshing, and I already knew I was going to love it here.A sudden burst of laughter caught my attention."Zara, what the hell?!" Shawty’s voice rang out, playful yet exasperated.I turned my head just in time to see Zara throw herself onto the grass, rolling like a kid who had just discovered the pure joy of being outside. She giggled uncontrollably, arms sprawled out as if she were making a snow angel on the ground.Shawty sto

    Jace’s POVThe bus rattled along the road, the soft hum of the engine mixing with the low chatter of students. I sat stiffly, arms crossed, gaze locked on the window, counting down the hours until this trip was over.Beside me, Whitney shifted in her seat. I could feel her eyes on me, the way she kept glancing, waiting, expecting something. When she realized she wasn’t getting it, she huffed under her breath.Typical.I ignored her, keeping my focus on the passing scenery.Another minute passed. Then another.She snapped.“Are you seriously not going to say anything?” she demanded, her voice just above a whisper but laced with frustration.I barely blinked. “About what?”She let out a sharp breath like she couldn’t believe I had the audacity to ask that. “Are you really that heartless, Jace? You don’t think you owe me an apology?”I finally turned my head, meeting her glare with a bored express

    Claire's POVThe morning air was crisp, a soft chill seeping into my bones as I swung my feet out of bed. I sat there for a second, rubbing my face, still cocooned in the lingering warmth of sleep. I didn’t want to get up. I didn’t want today to start. But it had to.I sighed and pushed myself to my feet, stretching my arms above my head before getting to work. My suitcase sat half-packed in the corner, my laziness from the night before biting me now. I crouched in front of it, folding the last of my clothes and stuffing them in before zipping it shut.The weight of the trip settled heavier in my chest.I did the things a lady needed to do in the morning and after that, I grabbed my luggage handle and stepped out, rolling it behind me as I stopped in front of Jace’s door. A frown tugged at my lips as I knocked."Jace, let’s go," I called, leaning my forehead against the wood for a second, still groggy.No answer.I

    Claire’s POVThe dim glow of the TV flickered across the living room, casting soft shadows against the walls. The air smelled faintly of strawberries—Jace’s snack from earlier—and the faint hum of the air conditioner filled the quiet space between us.I was curled up against him, my head resting against his chest, his arm draped lazily around my waist. His fingers traced absentminded circles on my hip, a mindless habit of his, while his attention remained fixed on the screen. The movie playing was some psychological thriller he’d chosen, something intense, filled with subtle mind games and unpredictable turns. Normally, I would have been invested, but right now, my mind was elsewhere.I shifted slightly, tilting my head up to look at him. “Jace?”His fingers stilled for a brief second before resuming their slow movements. “Hmm?”I hesitated, my teeth grazing my bottom lip. “Can I ask you something?”He didn’t look away from the s

    Jace’s POVAfter Claire left for class, I stayed back in the basement for a moment, letting the silence settle around me. My mind was running in too many directions, and none of them were leading to an answer.But I knew one thing—whoever was behind this was smart. Smart enough to cover their tracks completely. And if I was going to catch them, I needed to start eliminating suspects.Which was exactly why I called Nyx.I leaned against the cold steel counter of the school’s lab, arms crossed, waiting. It didn’t take long before she sauntered in, her expression amused, her usual cocky smirk already in place.The moment she stepped inside, I moved.I pushed her against the wall, not hard enough to hurt, but enough to send a message.Nyx, being Nyx, only smirked wider.“Oh?” she teased, tilting her head. "Didn’t think you’d be this eager, Jace. Kinda hot, not gonna lie."I clenched my jaw.“Stop p

    ~JaceMy words had her shooting up from me immediately and I threw my hands behind my head, resting on them as I watched her cheeks burn furiously. "I...I wasn't expecting a....."she was stuttering and then shook her head. "I wasn't even supposed to be here. I came looking for

    ~ClaireSchool was finally over for the day, and I couldn't help but feel grateful. I wanted nothing more than to just go home and hide under the warmth of my blanket. "Okay guys, I gotta run,"Zara spoke as we walked out of our final class together. "My mum's having some bunch

    ~JaceTrouble and I were old friends. No, scratch that — we were practically soulmates. You'd find me anywhere you found trouble, and I was notorious for this fact. I walked into Mrs. Turner's math class late, not bothering to offer any word of apology to the big ole lady.

  • Her Stepbrother's Obsession: His Kitten   Seven

    The morning air was crisp, the sun just peeking over the horizon as I reluctantly got out of bed. Today was the day. My first day at Goldenrod High, a school notorious for its social hierarchy and cutthroat reputation.Well, yeah. I did my research. There was no bloody way I was gonna at
