Finn's POV

The evening wind brushed past me as I walked away from Calista. My steps were quick and calculated, and my mind was a jumble of thoughts.

What had he done?

Yeah, I recalled asking him to break up with her, but what did he say to her to make her suspect I was the reason he went nuts?

“Knox!” I groaned, my nails piercing into my palms.

My mind raced with so many thoughts spread across my mind, and I was so absent-minded that I didn't realise when I got to the dorm.

I stood by the door

    Knox’s PovHis last words weren't threats, but they burned my skin like metal piercing through my bones.I clenched my jaw, not because I was angry, but because I tried to suppress the moan that threatened to escape my lips.“So, what are we?” He changed the conversation, pulling me back from my endless pool of sexual fantasies.I parted my lips to speak but didn't know what to say to him. I wanted to be in a relationship with him, but I was scared. Scared of what the people would say, scared of my parents, and scared of losing my career.“I want a relationship with you.” Finn's lips slowly curled, but his expression faltered the moment he heard the hesitation in my voice.“But…”The joyous expression on his face fell, and he pressed his lips together, exhaling.“But what? What exactly is the matter? Can you explain to me?” I pressed my lips, lowering my shoulders.Maybe it was time to tell him.“I'm worried about what my family would think and about my career. My dad will cut off

I could feel a strange warmth surrounding me, and I tried to piece together the right words to say.Taking a deep breath, I grabbed the handle and exhaled as I pushed open the door.I searched the room, my eyes taking note until I noticed his large frame seated on the bed, his shoulders slacked. His fingers were interlocked, and he sat directly opposite my bed.I froze, taking in the moment. I wanted to read the room to be sure of the next thing to say to him.Silence…Th

    Finn’s povI headed somewhere else to sit. Away from Jason, away from Knox, and away from everyone else.I wanted my peace for crying out loud. I had been in a web of constant bullying, and I couldn't seem to escape from it.“You seem to have gotten into trouble, right?” I didn't know how long I had been in thought, but Zale's voice pulled me back to reality.“Zale!” I stood up and pulled him into a hug.He chuckled. “I know you missed me; don't worry, I'm back.” Whatever assurance that was, I was willing to take it. I mean, he was the only friend I truly had that didn't want anything in return.“How have you been?” He took a seat, and I exhaled. Maybe this was what I needed all along: someone actually to talk to.“Horrible. I really don't know how else to put it, but that's what I can say for now.” “Really?” He asked with raised brows, but when he didn't hear a word from me, he sighed.“Nothing has also happened from my end. My life feels boring. For some reason, I consider you to

    Knox’s PovI arrived in class and noticed Finn wasn't seated near Jason. There seemed to be a distance between them, almost like I could feel the cold wall between them.“Why do you keep looking in that Grant kid's direction? You should be looking at me.” I exhaled, holding back the urge to shout at her. She was such a drama queen and, one way or another, looked for a way to get my attention now and then.I turned towards her, parting my lips to say something when she slammed her lips on mine.Her kiss was quick, and she pulled away, eyes wide with expectation. I said nothing.“Well? I paused, staring at her. “Well, what?” I really wanted to know what the hell was going on in her head. “Did you enjoy the kiss?” I squinted my eyes, trying to figure out the best reply I could give, but from the corner of my eyes, I could catch Finn's burning gaze. I guess he hated what he had seen.“Come on, baby, tell me, did you—”“Good morning, class.” I exhaled, my chest drumming hard. Saved by

    Finn’s povThe rest of the day went on with us touching each other. He was so clingy and addicted to my touch, almost like a stray dog who finally found its owner. “You have to be careful; you're getting addicted.” “Is that a crime? I thought that was something you wanted.” He asked, and I shook my head.“You still haven't answered the question I asked you earlier. The one about Calista, and I'm not sure if we can work out if you don't work on that.”He exhaled. “You want me to end my relationship with her? She'll definitely want to know why, and she might investigate. Imagine what would happen if she finds out?” I scoffed. “Then I'm free to move around with Jason and also kiss him because you're definitely going to be doing that with her.“Are you jealous?” He paused, shaking his head. “Then why don't you want me to hang out with him? Jason's not that bad; don't you get it? I understand that you're scared, but you have—”“He's not good for you. He gets to me, and I don't want it

    Finn’s PovI didn't know what else to say. I knew I wanted to be in a relationship with him, but he treats me like nothing. Jason, on the other hand, was a better option. Jason was never going to make me see myself as a worthless piece of trash. I tried to explain this to him, but he didn't want to understand, which made me give up immediately.“There's no need to try to convince me; I just don't think a relationship between us would be…”He shut me up with a kiss, and I at first didn't want to kiss him back, but he picked up my hands and placed them on the bulge in his pants.I felt my body tense, and heat swarmed me.Fuck!I began to kiss him as if my life depended on it. My hand was moving along his strong shoulders.I didn't plan to just kiss him; I wanted him as well.I kissed him, pulling away my hands that were on the bulge that lingered on his pants before I was finally able to move to pull his button away from their usual spot, fully revealing his chest.He didn't mind taki

    Finn’s PovJason's attitude has changed in the past few meetings we've had. At first, he came off as a genuine friend, but now it seemed like something entirely different.I exhaled, looking over my shoulders as I walked back to my dorm. I felt he had feelings for me, but since he hadn't said anyt

    Finn’s POV My chest rose and fell, and my eyes remained glued to his. He was so obsessed, possessiveness reeked out of him. Yet, he had been bold enough to tell me to stay away from Jason. “What exactly do you want from me, hmm?” I asked with raised brows. This was getting exhausting. Knox huf

    Finn’s POVI blinked a couple of times, my heart drumming. What the hell? I didn't expect the connection to be so instant.“Yes, sure.” I took his hands in a handshake, and he smirked. “See you around.” I nodded, trying so hard not to get too excited. I walked away from there, feeling great. I me

    Finn’s povAs we chatted, the teacher walked into the class, smiling. She seemed to look back a couple of times, which caused my brows to form into a sharp V.“Why does she keep looking at the door?” Curiosity tore through me too, and I turned to Zale, who was now looking at me. “If I knew that,
