Kael's pov

As Arian ran out, I wanted to follow him. In fact, I was already on the move before Hazel's hand stopped me. Gently, I pushed her hand away and left. But as soon as I got outside, April was already with him.

I know April was his best friend but something stung me and a bitter feeling followed. It should have been me beside him but somehow, Hazel just always ruins everything.

She caught up to me as I left the club room. “Kael! Wait!”

My jaw was tight as I turned slowly. She had that sugary smile that always seemed more like a mask than anything real.

“You’re not mad at me, are you?” she asked.

“Mad?” I repeated flatly.

She giggled, tilting her head. “Come on. Don’t look at me like that. It was just a joke. Everyone laughed, right? That’s what makes book clubs fun sometimes.”

“Fun?” I said, my voice dropping lower. I took a step toward her, and for the first time, the smile wavered on her face. “You call that fun?”

“It was a lighthearted moment,” she said.

“Lightheaded?”

    Arian's pov Time seemed to crawl as I sat there in my room, my mind racing with indecision. My phone lay close beside me, yet felt like a barrier between me and Kael. Hours had ticked by, each one weighing heavier than the last, as I wrestled with the urge to call or text him. Regret gnawed at my conscience, its persistent voice whispering that I'd overreacted, that my response had been unfair. Guilt seeped into my mind, its chill spreading through my veins like cold blood. The more I replayed our interaction in my head, the more I realized I'd let my emotions get the better of me. Now, the fear of rejection or further conflict paralyzed me, leaving me stuck in this state of uncertainty. My fingers itched to pick up the phone, to send a text that might settle the problem between us, but fear held me back, it gripped me tight.My phone buzzed beside me, the vibration jolting me out of my thoughts. It was a message from Kael. Wow, was the universe listening to my heart? I wondered

    Kael's pov I couldn't wrap my head around Arian's reaction. It was as if asking Hazel to own up to her actions was a sin. I'd expected him to understand where I was coming from, but instead, he seemed to be taking it the wrong way. The more I thought about it, the more baffled I became. What was so wrong about wanting someone to apologize for hurting him? It wasn't like I was asking him for the moon. The confusion of it all settled inside me, making my frustration boil over. "Why is this such a big deal?" I wondered, my mind racing with questions. Arian's defensiveness only added fuel to the fire, leaving me feeling confused and hurt. The whole situation felt like a puzzle with missing pieces, and I couldn't shake off the feeling that there was something I wasn't seeing.My phone buzzed across my nightstand, taking me out of my thoughts. The name flashing on the screen was the last name I wanted to see.“Dad.”For a moment, I considered letting it ring out. I’d done it plenty of t

    Arian's pov When I stepped onto campus the next day, my first thought was to keep my head down. Blend in or pretend to be invisible. If no one noticed me, then maybe the universe would leave me alone.But of course, fate had other plans, because the very first thing I saw when I walked into the hallway was them.Kael, tall, broad-shouldered, everything I both admired and resented. And Hazel, the perfect girlfriend figure, glued to his side like she had every right to be there.It was like the photo had crawled out of my phone and into reality, standing in front of me.My heart stopped, then kicked violently against my ribs. I turned on instinct, quickening my steps, desperate to get away before they noticed me.“Arian!” Kael’s voice echoed through the hallway.Fuck! No, not now. Please, not now. I kept walking, pretending not to hear, but the sound of his footsteps closed the distance between us.“Arian, why are you running away?”Something sharp cut through me. I wanted to keep goin

    Arian's pov I had expected him to come, but he didn't. Even if he didn't come immediately, I was still hoping he would make it to the library but he didn't. All night I waited, tossing and turning, waiting for his call or text or a surprise visit at most. But he didn’t come. He didn’t call either.Was this his reaction to the photo? Did he already regret sitting beside me and reading those lines like they were meant for us alone?As different questions swirled through my head, frustration gripped me tightly. I should stop overthinking but I couldn't help it. Kael is my first and making it work seems harder as I fall deeper for him. But what can I do if he was affected by that photo? What can I do if he finds it embarrassing? Nothing. I can only avoid him the way he ignored me too.So by morning, I told myself I was done expecting anything from him. But whenever my phone chimes on, my heart begins to race. And every second that passed without his name lighting up the screen made me

    Kael's pov I drove all the way to my parents house. A particular question has been eating me up since I followed Arian to the cemetery. As I stepped into the house, silence welcomed him. The house is always quiet unless there's an argument. Sure enough, she was seated gracefully on the long sofa, a teacup in her hand, her posture as perfect as always. She glanced up at me with mild surprise. “Kael. I wasn’t expecting you today.”“I wasn't expecting myself to show up either,” I said casually. “So what brought you home without me begging you to come?” she asked. “I needed to talk to you,” I said, my voice firmer than it should.Her eyebrows arched. “About what?”I hesitated, running a hand through my hair. “About the accident. The one… five years ago.”I saw her composure falter. The teacup clinked softly against the saucer as she set it down. “You never asked about it before. Why bring it up now?”“Because I didn't know who to ask,” I said. “You don't act like you know much about
