Rhea's POV

The car slowed to a stop in front of a small restaurant tucked between two shopfronts, and he cut the engine without a word. I watched him push his door open.

"Should I follow you?"

He turned his head toward me, hummed once in answer, and that was apparently all the confirmation I was going to get. I climbed out after him, staring up at the place with a mix of confusion and something closer to disbelief. What were we doing here?

I followed him inside with the smell of fried food and

  • Invisible Until Him    Chapter Twenty: Practice 4

    Jiles' POV I caught myself glancing toward her every time I scored, half expecting to catch her watching but she stayed bent over the drawing book the entire practice, more focused on whatever she was sketching than she had been the last time I had her writing my notes for me. Once practice wrapped, we all skated to the locker room to change. "You coming to the party?" One of the guys tossed the question toward Cole, who was already pulling his jersey off. Cole pressed his lips together. "Cannot. I have to take my mom to the hospital tonight." "How is she doing?" Tyler asked. Cole sighed. "She is good. Just fever this time.” "But you have to be at the party. It is literally our party." Another player cut in from across the room. Tyler looked up from tying his shoes. "Well, I could pick you up after you're done. Even if it means we would be late together." Cole's face eased into something grateful. "Thanks, man." I pulled my jersey over my head, half listening. The party had b

  • Invisible Until Him    Chapter Nineteen: Practice 3

    Jiles' POVThe shot cracked past the goalie's glove into the top corner, and the horn blasted a second later, loud enough that it seemed to shake something loose in my chest.My line erupted with their sticks slamming against the boards, someone shouting my name and I let myself skate through the center of it before pulling away toward the gate.Tyler reached me first, clapping a hand hard against my shoulder with a grin. “That's four this week. You good?"I hummed in response, already skating backward. “Taking five." I said out loud.Nobody questioned the captain, only the coach does but he wasn’t around for this practice.I ducked into the locker room alone, grabbing a water bottle off the bench and cracking it open just as the final school bell rang somewhere beyond the walls, muffled but unmistakable.Her face came to mind instantly and completely unmovable once it had settled there, the way her eyes had filled with tears earlier pulling at something I didn't particularly want exa

  • Invisible Until Him    Chapter Eighteen: Clique 4

    Rhea's POVI didn't know if I should tell them about the tea at all. But Jiles and Naomi had history, enough that she probably already knew about his sleeping problems, unless it was something recent and she hadn't caught up on yet. My eyes flicked between Ava and Lucia, and she caught the hesitation instantly, one eyebrow lifting."Should they excuse us?"I nodded, small, barely a movement at all, and watched her smile stretch wider, a little giggle slipping out after it."Hmm, I like private stuff." She turned to the other two. "Would you two excuse us?"Lucia rolled her eyes, already standing. "Fine. I need a better drink anyway.""Same." Ava chirped, rising with her, and the two of them sauntered off toward the drinks counter, leaving Naomi leaning across the table toward me with her eyes bright with curiosity.“Go on.”"It's about the tea I brought him yesterday," I said quietly. "He wants me to give him more today."Her face scrunched up immediately. "The fuck. Tea. Sorry, wait,

  • Invisible Until Him    Chapter Seventeen: Clique 3

    Rhea's POVI turned to face her properly. "Hi, Talia. But, sorry, I'm not interested."She stared at me for a beat longer before practically bouncing to my side, grabbing my arm and shaking it with far more excitement than the moment called for."I promise, you don't want to miss this. You're obviously fun and honestly I'm so glad to see you finally leveling up." She pressed something small into my palm before I could protest again. "Dress code is black. See you there."She beamed one last time and breezed out of the bathroom. I looked down at my palm and saw a ticket, clearly for the party. And somehow, seeing this made tears build up again.I had never once attended a school event unless attendance was mandatory. And definitely never a party students had organized themselves.I pressed my face into my palms and let the tears come, unable to hold them back this time. Eventually I pulled myself together enough to splash water on my face and fix my glasses, grateful at least that the f

  • Invisible Until Him    Chapter Sixteen: Clique 2

    Rhea's POV"Naomi, wait, what are you doing?" I tried to twist out of her grip the second she looped her arm through mine on our way to class, my voice low and frantic, trying to keep this between us."Just watch." She smiled, sweet and terrifying all at once, and pulled me inside our classroom before I could get another word out.The room went quiet almost instantly, the way it did whenever Naomi walked in expecting attention. She didn't let go of my arm. If anything her grip tightened, parading me a few steps further into the classroom like I was something she was unveiling."Listen up, everybody." Her voice carried easily. "This is Rhea. Some of you know her as the mute. The ghost. The girl who had the gut to egg Jiles and some of you are planning different ways to get back at her." She let that sit a second, scanning the room slowly. "That ends today.”There was a ripple of murmurs that moved across the room. While I stood still in her grip.“What I'm saying is, Rhea is officially

  • Invisible Until Him    Chapter Fifteen: Clique 1

    Rhea's POV I kept biting down on my lip for the rest of the class, the laughter from earlier still ringing somewhere in the back of my skull. Someone had called me a ghost with the entire room watching, and what actually registered was that they knew me now. None of this would have happened if Naomi hadn't started it in the first place. Elz wasn't in this class, so there was nobody to pull my attention away from it. I'd gotten so used to her presence lately that the absence of it felt loud. When the bell rang, I watched him and his friends get up first, taking their time the way they always did. I thought about our luncheon yesterday, about how my fingers had been itching all morning to text him and ask if he had liked the tea. But somehow he happened to just make me answer a question in class for no reason. I told myself to just let him go. Find Elz. Get to the next class and forget about it. Instead I gathered my things and went after him, fully intending to tell him I didn't l
