Chapter Twenty-Eight — Jason's POV

Penulis: Gracie.E
last update Terakhir Diperbarui: 2025-08-21 13:51:36

If anyone ever asked, I’d swear up and down that I don’t get nervous. Jason Cole doesn’t do nervous. Jason Cole is the nerves — the chaos that makes other people twitch while I just smile through it.

At least, that’s the image. The myth. The act I’ve spent years perfecting.

But sitting on the bleachers tonight, waiting for Lila, I’m one breath away from ripping my hair out.

Because what if she doesn’t show?

Scratch that. What if she does show, but then tells me flat-out that she’s choosing Alex? That she wants safe, steady, predictable… and not me?

I’d laugh it off. Pretend I don’t care. That’s what I’m supposed to do.

Except, for once, I actually do care. And that’s the problem.

I texted her—meet me at the bleachers—before I could talk myself out of it. No emojis, no winky face. Just the words.

Now, every second feels like an hour. I lie back against the cool metal, staring at the stars like they’ll give me answers.

I think about the pep rally. That kiss. The way the whole gym explod

  • My Accidental Boyfriend   Chapter Thirty-Eight — Lila

    If I thought sleep would clear my head, I was wrong.I woke up with the same storm in my chest, only worse. My brain kept replaying Jason’s voice in the library—soft, serious, almost desperate.“I’m not messing around, Lila.”The thing is, Jason doesn’t do serious. Not unless he means it.And now, I can’t stop wondering if I’ve been wrong about him this whole time.At school, I tried pretending everything was fine. Smiled at Ava, copied notes in math, laughed when someone made a joke about our history teacher’s weird bow ties. But underneath, I was unraveling.Every hallway I walked down felt like a minefield.Alex caught up to me before English. “Hey,” he said, falling into step beside me. His voice was calm, steady, exactly what I should’ve wanted.“Hey,” I whispered back.“You didn’t answer my text last night.”Guilt stabbed me. “Sorry. I was… tired.”He gave me a small smile. “It’s okay. I just wanted you to know I wasn’t pressuring you. Whatever you’re feeling—I’ll wait.”Wait.T

  • My Accidental Boyfriend   Chapter Thirty-Seven — Lila's POV

    If someone asked me what my biggest problem was last month, I would’ve said something like: “Trigonometry. Or maybe my mom’s obsession with Pinterest recipes.”Now?Now my biggest problem has a name. Two names, actually.Jason Cole.And Alex Rivera.And somehow, I’m stuck between them, like some cruel joke the universe thought would be funny.---I tried to ignore both of them today. Thought maybe if I kept my head down, focused on my classes, and avoided all human interaction, my brain would quiet down.Spoiler alert: it didn’t work.Everywhere I went, they were there.Jason, leaning against doorframes with that infuriating grin, tossing winks like confetti. Alex, sitting two rows over in English, eyes flicking toward me when he thought I wasn’t looking.It felt like the walls were closing in.And the worst part? My heart wouldn’t shut up.Because when Jason smirked, it skipped. And when Alex smiled, it softened.How am I supposed to pick between skipping and softening?---At lunch,

  • My Accidental Boyfriend   Chapter Thirty-Six — Lila's POV

    I can’t get his words out of my head.“Maybe I do care.”Four little words, tossed out like some afterthought in the middle of the cafeteria. But they’re louder than anything Jason Cole has ever said to me.Because Jason doesn’t do feelings. He does smirks. He does sarcasm. He does attention-seeking TikToks and shameless flirting and acting like he’s the star of his own never-ending show.But feelings?That’s not his thing.And yet…Those words are still stuck in my chest, looping on repeat, driving me crazy.Last night, I barely slept. I just lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, heart pounding as if Jason was still sitting across from me at that lunch table, his eyes serious in a way that made me forget how to breathe.And the worst part?I wanted to believe him.I wanted to believe that underneath all the arrogance and jokes, there’s a piece of Jason that’s real. A piece that wants me.But then I remembered Alex.Alex, who’s been there for me since forever. Alex, who listens, who not

  • My Accidental Boyfriend   Chapter Thirty-Five — Jason's POV

    I knew something was off the second I saw her.Lila’s usually easy to read. She wears her heart on her sleeve — even when she tries not to. Her sarcasm, her eye rolls, her little smirks when she thinks she’s getting away with something — all of it’s right there, plain as day.But today? She wouldn’t look at me.She laughed at Ava’s joke too quickly, kept her eyes on her notebook in class, even skipped the usual banter when I bumped her shoulder in the hallway.Something was wrong.And I had a pretty good idea what's Alex.I caught them talking after school yesterday. Well, not talking exactly — more like him pouring his heart out while she stood there looking like she’d rather disappear into the floor tiles.I didn’t catch the words, but I didn’t need to.The way he leaned in, the way his hands tightened nervously on his backpack straps, the way her lips parted in surprise… yeah. I know a confession when I see one.And just thinking about it made my blood boil.Alex.Of course it’s A

  • My Accidental Boyfriend   Chapter Thirty-Four — Alex's POV

    There comes a point when silence doesn’t protect you anymore.I’ve been hiding behind mine for years—smiling when I wanted to reach out, listening when I wanted to speak, letting Jason swoop in because it was easier than fighting.But sitting on that swing last night with Lila, watching her stare up at the sky like it held all the answers, I realized something: if I keep waiting, I’ll lose her.Maybe I already have.This morning, I woke up before my alarm. Couldn’t sleep. Couldn’t stop replaying the cafeteria scene in my head—the way she froze, the way her eyes darted to him instead of me.Every time I thought about it, my stomach twisted.Jason doesn’t deserve her.And I know that sounds selfish, maybe even cruel. But it’s true.He’s reckless. He treats everything like a game, including her heart.I’ve been here the whole time, loving her quietly, waiting for her to notice.And if I don’t tell her now, I’ll regret it for the rest of my life.At school, I tried to act normal, but my h

  • My Accidental Boyfriend   Chapter Thirty-Three — Lila's POV

    High school hallways have always been loud.But lately? They feel unbearable. Like every whisper, every giggle, every sideways glance is aimed straight at me.At us.Jason and me.It’s ridiculous. Two weeks ago, nobody noticed if I tripped over my own shoelaces. Now, thanks to one stupid TikTok, the entire school treats me like I’m starring in some teen soap opera.And the worst part? I don’t know if I’m playing the lead… or the fool.Today, when Ava opened her big mouth at lunch, my brain short-circuited.So who does Lila really like?I could still feel the heat on my cheeks, the silence pressing down like a weight. Everyone’s eyes locked on me. And for a second—just a second—I almost said Jason’s name.But then I saw Alex.And my heart fractured right down the middle.Because how do you pick between someone who’s been your safe place for years and someone who makes your pulse sprint with one smirk?After school, I tried to focus on my art homework, but every sketch ended up looking
