MIRA

"Dear diary, Ethan has been so close to me and I happens to like being friends with him even if I feel like Its more than that ,he is so handsome and calm and he is the definition of the kind of man that catch my attention,funny how I describe him to be perfect...unlike max the rude one who go around acting all bossy but actually he is nice too ,sometimes he can be stupid and other time he act like he doesn't care but then diary, explain how I feel sad anytime I see him around that girl ,I feel ripped apart is it jealousy? Cause if it was I feel so stupid though..."she looked up and sighed deeply before continuing with what she was doing

     "But it's cool I guess it's just childish and stupid besides Ethan got my back and my new friends do too...guess I didnt tell you about em they are cool and you should see how beautiful they look ,anyways thats all for today .....bye diary" she smiled as she closed hee book ans head upstairs to grab her backpack as she plan on going for a little picnic with her new friends.

*********

As she walked down the street of crescent Ave she wondered if what she was doing was right , getting jealous over someone she barely knows or the fact that Ethan is her crush twin brother."was  she being selfish "she taught

Just as she was lost in her taught she heard someone call out to her

"Mira !Mira!!" She recognized that voice it was Sofia ,she was calling out to her while Rachel stood there blocking her ear as she screamed her name .

"Hey Sofia ,hey Rachel "Mira said while hugging them both ,she was glad she was friends with them ,at least she never had one

"We taught you were gonna back out you know "sofia said opening her backpack and grabbing a mirror to look at her face

"You must be kidding "Mira said and smirked

"Wait..Mira what are you wearing "Sofia asked

Mira looked at herself she knew something was off about them when they said they were going for a picnic .

"Ummm...a nice dress for a picnic Hun"Mira replied smiling

"Uh uh daddy girl ,we ..are not going for a picnic we are going to Max's party baby"Rachel said and dragged her inside her dad's car "who owns the car ?"Mira asked

"My dad "Rachel replied

"So what do I do I havent been to a party before "mira said disappointed,she really felt bad that they weren't going for the picnic but something tells her it was a good thing but she can't tell what.

"Get in Sofia we need to doll her up "Rachel screamed at Sofia who was busy making herself up

"Fine dumb ass " Sofia replied and got into the car.

They drove off.

MIRA

The music was loud ,I could see a lot of young girls and boy having quality time together,I knew I was not going to feel comfortable so I put my headphone on to keep me distracted.

Sofia and Rachel were having a good time ,I guess they belonged here .I looked around to see if there was a place I could sit and watch but everywhere was crowded and any free spot you see is overtaken by two couples.

  "Damn"

   "Am sorry"i apologized

     "Watch where you are going ..clumsy"the girl I just stepped on said harshly and left my spot.

I was trying to get past them when I mistakenly stepped on her.it wasn't that easy to avoid staring around seeing others have fun,all I could think of was pa,he had call earlier and asked me how I was and if I was coming back ,my answer was no,I told him I was having a sleepover at Sofia's ,yea I was but not yet.

I was tired and made to leave at least wait for them in the car or something but then it started raining I was hoping the party would end but thats when the party got more interesting.

They were happy I smiled and watched them as I made to find shelter.

"Hey Mira"I heard a familiar voice

It was Ethan

"Hey Ethan ,how are you?"I askes shyly

"Not dead "he replied smiling

"I guess this is not your kind of thing"he added handing me a drink

"I guess I will adapt "I replied with a smile after taking the drink from him

"So...who you with?" He asked

"Sofia and Rachel of course "she replied

"They left you behind damsel"he said and we laughed over it

Ethan was such a a sweet soul ,just a little talk and we were laughing,what a boy.

"Should I drive you home ?" Ethan asked

"No I will stay over at Rachel's"Mira replied smiling

"That's fine "Ethan replied

Mira watched others vibe under the rain and she started feeling cold ,she shivered,she knew she would fall sick if she didn't find a warm spot .

Just as she was looking around Ethan came close to her and put his warm jacket over her shoulder.

Mira smiled at him and he took her to shelter .

"You ok ?" He asked

"Yes "Mira replied

"I will just grab us more drink "he said and left

"Yea sure" Mira smiled at him .she watched him go and then turned only to see Max standing in front of her smiling

"Hey damsel " max said  coming close to her in a rather uncomfortable way

"Keep your distance lover boy"Mira replied trying to move back until she felt her back on the wall

Max put one hand over her head and bent towards her

"You know I like girls with black hair and fair skin"he said while caressing her hair

"Stop max " Mira said slowly as if feeling weak

She knew the more he tried the more she felt attracted to him.

"Max you have to stop "she tried pushing him away but he was strong ,stronger than her she gave up and he traced his hands from her thigh to her waist line

Mira shivered and let out a low moan

"Max.."she said in a whisper

"Stop"she added

Then Max bent ,his lips not too far away from hers ,he parted her lips with his thumb

"Sexy pumpkin"he whispered

"Stop!!" Ethan shouted and ran towards them he dragged Max away from her and gave him a hard punch

"Not her Max not her "Ethan warned

"Are you ok?"he asked Mira who stood there shaking

"Yes Ethan I am "she hugged him

*******

Ethan face beamed with smile

She was actually hugging him and he liked it ,he hugged her too and she pulled away from him a bit,looked him in the eyes and hugged him again

She couldn't explain the feeling she felt

She felt safe with Ethan ,she felt happy

But with max it was different more like burning desire

She was happy Ethan showed up.

"Let's go home "Ethan carried her on his arms and they headed for the car.

  • LOVE AND LUST    CRACKS IN THE CODE

    CHAPTER 29MIRAMira’s hands shook as she sat across from Ethan in his bedroom, the glow of his laptop casting shadows on the walls. The latest message—“Y N J F 167—burned in her mind, a taunt that made her question everything. She’d shown Ethan the code as soon as they’d left school, her resolve to uncover the truth overriding the fear that had kept her quiet. The guy in the black hoodie, was still out there, and Sofia’s apology felt more like a puzzle piece than a resolution.“Okay, let’s look at this again,” Ethan said, his voice steady as he pulled up the message on Mira’s phone, connected to his laptop. “These messages always feel like they’re hiding something—a pattern, a code. Like the sender’s trying to tell us more than the words say.”Mira nodded, leaning closer, her shoulder brushing his. “What kind of code? Like, a secret message in the letters?”“Maybe,” Ethan said, his fingers flying over the keyboard. “Or it could be in the metadata—timestamps, phone number patterns. I

  • LOVE AND LUST    THE APPOLOGY

    CHAPTER 28MIRAThe classroom hummed with the low chatter of students waiting for the bell, sunlight streaming through the windows and casting long rectangles across the desks. Mira sat beside Rachel, her notebook open but untouched, her mind still spinning from the past few days. Ethan, freshly discharged from the hospital, leaned against her desk, his arm no longer bandaged but his face still a shade too pale. He was joking about the hospital food being worse than school cafeteria pizza, and Rachel’s laughter was a welcome sound, a brief escape from the weight Mira carried.The decision to stop chasing the guy in the black hoodie—and the anonymous messages had felt like a relief in the hospital, a way to protect Ethan and find normalcy. But normalcy was a fragile thing, and the creak outside her window last night had reminded her that the sender wasn’t done. Mira’s fingers tightened around her pencil, her resolve hardening. She couldn’t just let it go, not when the truth about that

  • LOVE AND LUST    THE CRASH

    CHAPTER 26MIRAMira sat at her desk, her fingers tracing the edge of the photo from her locker—the one of her lying lifeless in the pool. The latest message, “You’re digging too deep, Mira. Stop, or Ethan pays the price,” burned in her mind, a constant reminder that the sender was watching, waiting. She’d told Dad and Miss Katy about the messages last night, and their promise to keep her safe had eased some of her fear, but the threat against Ethan felt like a knife to her heart. She couldn’t lose him, not when he’d been her rock through all of this.Her phone buzzed with a text from Rachel: Found something. Want to check it out tomorrow? Mira’s pulse quickened. the guy Sofia had mentioned, the one who’d followed her upstairs at the party. The guy in the black hoodie. If he was the sender—or worse, the one who’d hurt her that night—she needed to know.A knock at the front door jolted her from her thoughts. She glanced out her window, expecting Ethan or Rachel, but instead saw a fami

  • LOVE AND LUST    THE THREATH

    CHAPTER 25SOFIASofia sat on her bedroom floor, her back against the door, her knees pulled tight to her chest. The house was silent now, the echoes of Mira, Ethan, and Rachel’s accusations still ringing in her ears. Their faces—Mira’s trembling anger, Rachel’s sharp glare, Ethan’s quiet fury—haunted her. She’d tried to play it off, to act confused, but the photo Mira had shoved across the coffee table had cracked her carefully built facade. Mira, lifeless in the pool, her face pale under the water’s glow. Sofia’s stomach churned. She hadn’t meant for it to go that far.Her phone sat on the carpet beside her, screen dark but heavy with secrets. She’d sent those messages, the photos, the notes. “Remember what happens when you don’t listen.” “Nice try, Mira. You won’t find me.” She’d thought they would scare Mira into silence, keep her from digging into that night. But Mira wasn’t backing down, and now Sofia was trapped, her lies tangling like a web she couldn’t escape.It had all star

  • LOVE AND LUST    DOUBLE SUSPICION

    CHAPTER 24MIRAMira’s heart pounded as she stood outside Sofia’s house, the afternoon sun casting long shadows across the neatly trimmed lawn. Ethan and Rachel flanked her, their faces set with determination, but Mira’s stomach churned with a mix of fear and resolve. The photo from her locker—the one showing her lifeless in the pool, paired with the note, “Remember what happens when you don’t listen”—had pushed her past silence. Sofia had been at that party, had handed her that drink, and Mira needed answers.“You sure you’re ready for this?” Ethan asked, his voice low, his hand brushing her arm. His touch was steadying, but it also sent a flutter through her chest that she tried to ignore.Mira nodded, though her throat felt tight. “I have to know. If Sofia’s involved…” She trailed off, the memory of that night—fuzzy, fragmented, and terrifying—clawing at her.Rachel cracked her knuckles, her eyes narrowing at the house. “If she’s got anything to do with those messages, I’m not lett
