LOGINFlynn Cahallan~•~I hated her.She was too bold and too annoying and too pretty in the little thing she wore that she called a dress.She was too carefree. For someone who pretended she didn’t know me, she had some nerve admitting that she was jealous she didn’t have my number but her friend did.I especially hated her because it felt good hearing that she was jealous. I hated that some stupid useless part of me wanted to hear her say it again.Fuck.I dragged a hand down my face and started walking away from her house.I should have just gone straight home after dropping the car but I waited like an idiot because I knew she’d come. I walked her to her house and stood close to her enough that I could smell whatever she was putting on.I had to remind myself that none of that mattered though. She was going to marry Lucas or someone like him, go to whatever college her parents picked for her, and live whatever life that had been laid for her long before she could walk.I pushed everyth
Madelyn Vance~•~“Uh…” She removed my hand from her wrist and wrapped her arm around mine. “Sure. I need the company anyway.”The fact that she didn’t mind me going with her… was this an innocent meeting? “Are you scared of him?” I joked because I had nothing else to say.“Kinda.” She shrugged. “You know there are several rumors about him.”“That doesn’t make them true,” I replied before I could stop myself. The truth was that I didn’t know Flynn, and I didn’t know what he was capable of, so I couldn’t tell whether or not the rumors were true, but rumors were just rumors. If no one had proof, I had no reason to believe it.“Sure, sure. You always see the best in everyone.” She rolled her eyes and started walking down the line of cars.I pursed my lips. “If you’re scared of him, why are you meeting up with him?”“There!” She pointed at a blue sports car just a few feet away and Flynn was leaning against it, his arms crossed against his chest. My heart jumped as Hazel sped-walked, drag
Madelyn Vance~•~It wasn’t like I actually expected Flynn to show up, but was there a possibility he had forgotten about the party? Or maybe he forgot Hazel’s address?That had to be it. He had not been listening to me properly when I rattled off the address to him. I guess he wasn’t going to show up then.“Tyler had two touchdowns tonight!” Anna removed herself from her boyfriend and grabbed my arm when she reached me. “Two!”“I saw it.” I chuckled. “I was there, Anna.”“Her voice was the only thing I could hear in the field.” Tyler grinned.Anna swatted his arm but she was grinning hard. I could already tell she was buzzed up. Anna and Tyler had been together since the start of junior year, which meant she wore his jersey to every game, and on the days, he played really well, she wore it to the after-party like she was doing at the moment.Their relationship was enviable. None of them had their parents in their ears telling them what to expect from a partner or just pointing them i
Flynn Cahallan~•~She was definitely messing with me.If I had known this would be the result of helping her out that night, I would have ignored her. Someone would have eventually helped her. Besides, the whole population of the school loved her.Madelyn followed behind me as I walked away. I was supposed to head straight inside but I had an inkling she’d follow me there. I wasn’t about to be alone in a room with her so I walked over to where one of the other mechanics was working on a car.“Hey, need help?” I asked Sam who was under the car.Madelyn scoffed behind me. “You’re searching for a job just to ignore me?”I turned around to face her. “So you do get the hint? Why are you still here then?”“Weren’t you the one that told me to tell you I was interested like a normal person?”My heart jumped and I stared at her warily. She was interested in me? After everything that had happened, she was able to fix her lips and say she was interested in me? Was she fucking serious?“Besides,
Madelyn Vance ~•~“My parents are out of town until next week and I’ve decided I’ll be hosting the next party,” Hazel announced as we walked out of AP Chemistry. “You’re attending this time, right?”“Mmh?” I asked distractedly, looking ahead for Flynn.For someone who took the role of being a bad boy seriously, he shared chemistry classes with us. He was late to class and had an hour detention but he was also the first out of class as soon as the bell rang.It hadn’t even been a minute since he left and I couldn’t see him anymore. “My party? I’m hosting after the game on Friday night. You’re coming.”“Sure.” My tone was dismissive but I hoped she didn’t pick up on it. I caught sight of the blue shirt Flynn had worn to class that morning. “Send me the details, okay? I’ll be there.”“What do you mean by details?” She called out but I was already walking away from her. “You’re helping me plan it!”“Fine!” I called back out. “See you at lunch.”I hurried down the hallway, chasing the fl
Madelyn Vance~•~Flynn was an attractive guy, but that damn mouth of his. Talking to him always gave me whiplash. It was like my body couldn’t decide whether to be flustered because of attraction or embarrassment around him. I hated it.And he also didn’t know how to answer questions. It was the first time I was hearing him talk so much and he still couldn’t answer the important question I asked him. Was he trying to keep up his reputation of being a loner at school? Was that why he was quick to dismiss me that day? Or was it because he was in a bad mood? Then again, he did seem like he was always in a bad mood. Was he responsive this time because he was at home? Why had I never run into him? I’d been visiting Lucas’ house for more than a year. I knew of the existence of a stepbrother but I never even imagined he attended the same school as us because of how absent he was.Why did the two boys hate each other? Why did they pretend they didn’t know each other at school?God, I was
Madelyn Vance~•~Somewhere between the first and second period, I decided that Flynn Cahallan was not someone I needed to be thinking about. He’d given me a ride. I’d said thank you. That was the beginning and the end of it and the fact that I was still thinking about ‘be careful, golden girl’ thr
Madelyn Vance ~•~If I thought Flynn Cahallan was a walking cliché with his tattoos, murder trap disguised as a bike, and his leather jackets, then I was even worse.I couldn’t even tell where they appeared from but two of my friends flocked towards me the moment I pulled over in the parking lot t
Madelyn Vance~•~I was more than happy when my parents told me I couldn’t attend the after-party tonight, as that was a good enough excuse to give to my friends for skipping it.I didn’t know why my parents didn’t want me to go since they didn’t care every other night. Still, they also wanted to s
Flynn Cahallan~•~She was haunting me.That had to be it because there was no fucking way I spent two whole years at Northridge High without running into her, but for the past two weeks, I’d interacted with her almost five times.Was she trying to fuck with my head or something?I tried my best to
