She said she didn’t know.

Those three words have been stuck in my head all day, looping over and over like a broken record.

Do you like me?

“I don’t know.”

It wasn’t a no.

And for someone like me, who’s used to every girl in this school either saying yes or pretending they don’t care when they actually do, hearing “I don’t know” from Lila felt like the most honest answer I’ve ever gotten.

But it also messed me up. Because if she doesn’t know… then what the hell am I supposed to do?

In history class, I didn’t hear a word the teacher said. I just sat there, doodling in the margins of my notebook while stealing glances at Lila two rows ahead.

She kept her head down, hair falling like a curtain, chewing on her pen the way she always does when she’s nervous.

And I couldn’t help wondering if she was nervous because of me.

God, I hoped so.

At practice after school, the guys noticed something was off.

“Yo, Cole,” Ryan called, smirking as he tossed the ball to me. “Why do you look like somebod

  • My Accidental Boyfriend   Chapter Fifty-Two — Jason's POV

    I’ve never hated the sound of someone’s name more than I hated hearing his.“Lila?”Alex’s voice cut through the air, soft and careful, like he owned the right to check on her. Like he was the only one allowed to worry about her.And the worst part? She looked at him. She actually looked at him, those big brown eyes still wet with tears, and for a second I wasn’t even in her world anymore.I was invisible.It felt like someone had sucker-punched meI clenched my fists so hard my knuckles ached.Alex just stood there, looking perfect in that too-clean, too-safe way of his. Backpack slung neatly, shirt tucked like he belonged in a brochure for “responsible boyfriend of the year.” Meanwhile, I was standing here with messy hair, a too-tight chest, and my heart hanging out in front of the girl I’d been stupid enough to fall for.The girl who couldn’t even answer me.I hated him in that moment. Not because he’d done anything wrong—Alex never did anything wrong. No, I hated him because he wa

  • My Accidental Boyfriend   Chapter Fifty-One — Lila's POV

    I couldn’t breathe.Jason’s words hung between us like smoke, filling the empty space at my locker until it felt suffocating.“…something I can’t lose.”His voice replayed in my head, raw and shaky in a way I wasn’t used to hearing from him. Jason Cole—the boy who never cracked, who laughed at rules, who could charm teachers and break hearts like it was second nature—looked at me like I was the only thing keeping him upright.And I didn’t know what to do with that.Because part of me wanted to lean in.And the other part wanted to run.“Jason…” My voice was barely a whisper.He didn’t move. Didn’t smirk. Didn’t throw some sarcastic comment like he usually would. His eyes stayed locked on mine, vulnerable and steady, and that scared me more than anything.I looked away first, pretending to shuffle books in my locker even though my hands were shaking.“You can’t say things like that,” I muttered.“Why not?” His voice was low, but firm.“Because…” I swallowed hard, searching for words. “

  • My Accidental Boyfriend   Chapter Fifty — Jason's POV

    I wasn’t jealous.That’s what I told myself when I saw them talking by the lockers, her laugh spilling out like he’d just said the funniest thing in the world.I wasn’t jealous.Except I was.Because the way Alex looked at her—the way he leaned in like he belonged there, like it was the most natural thing in the world—made something inside me burn.And the worst part?She let him.Her shoulders dipped in that relaxed way she only did when she felt safe. Her eyes softened. She wasn’t pushing him away. She wasn’t rolling her eyes.She was smiling.And I hated that it wasn’t for me.I shoved my hands into my pockets, walking past them like I didn’t care. Like I couldn’t feel the heat crawling up my neck. Like I wasn’t seconds away from saying something reckless, something I wouldn’t be able to take back.Jason Cole doesn’t get jealous.That’s the rule.I’m the guy people are jealous of, not the guy standing on the sidelines, watching someone else take what he wants.But here I was—watchi

  • My Accidental Boyfriend   Chapter Forty-Nine — Alex's POV

    The message came late at night.I’d been staring at my phone for hours, scrolling through nothing, waiting for a reply I wasn’t sure would come. When it finally buzzed, I grabbed it so fast I nearly dropped it.Things are complicated right now.That was all she said.Not yes. Not no. Not even an explanation.Just those five words.And in that instant, everything inside me cracked.I read it again. And again. And again.I tried to convince myself it didn’t mean what it felt like. Maybe she was busy. Maybe she really was confused. Maybe she needed time.But the truth I’d been avoiding all this time hit me like a truck.It wasn’t that she was busy.It wasn’t that she was confused.It was that she didn’t want me.Not the way I wanted her.And the worst part?I already knew why.I tossed the phone onto my desk, the sound sharp in the quiet of my room. I paced the floor, running my hands through my hair, feeling like I was crawling out of my skin.I’d seen the way she looked at him.Jason C

  • My Accidental Boyfriend   Chapter Forty-Eight — Lila's POV

    When Alex’s text came through, I must have read it twenty times.Do you want to hang out this weekend? Just us.Simple. Straightforward. Exactly the kind of message Alex would send.But staring at it made my stomach twist.Because if it had come two months ago, I wouldn’t have hesitated. Alex was safe. Alex was comfort. Alex was… home.But now?Now everything felt messy. Complicated. Jason-shaped.And that made me feel like the worst person alive.I flopped onto my bed, my phone balanced on my chest as I stared at the ceiling. My brain was screaming at me to text him back with a yes. To stop making things weird, to stop hurting him, to stop letting things get out of control.But my heart wouldn’t let me.Because if I said yes… what would that mean?Would it mean I was leading him on, pretending that things hadn’t changed between us? Would it mean I was avoiding the truth—that Alex wasn’t the one who made my pulse race anymore?The truth I didn’t want to say out loud: that Jason Cole h

  • My Accidental Boyfriend   Chapter Forty-Seven — Alex's POV

    There are a thousand ways to lose someone.I thought if I lost Lila, it would be sudden—like a car crash, or a slammed door, or a fight so loud we couldn’t take the words back.But this?This is slow. Like watching sand slip through my fingers. Like hearing a clock tick down while pretending it isn’t.And I can’t stop it.At lunch, I saw it.I didn’t need anyone to tell me. I didn’t need words, or a confession, or even an admission from her lips.I saw it in the way Jason leaned toward her. The way his voice dropped low, just for her. The way her cheeks turned pink no matter how hard she tried to roll her eyes.And worst of all—the way she didn’t pull away.Lila has always been good at pretending. She laughs when she’s nervous, talks when she’s scared, jokes when she’s overwhelmed.But she’s not good at hiding her heart.And right then, I knew.She feels something for him.Something she’s never felt for me.I clenched my jaw so tight it ached. I tried to focus on my sandwich, on Ava’s
