I was still staring at my laptop screen when Naomi burst through my bedroom door without knocking, which was pretty much her signature move at this point.

“Lily, I need you to—oh my God. You look like you wrestled with a ghost and lost.” She stopped mid-sentence, taking in my pajamas, my unwashed hair, the fact that I clearly hadn’t slept. “What happened? Did someone die?”

“Just tired,” I lied, quickly closing the laptop. The last thing I needed was her seeing my college application or my midnight research spiral into supernatural folklore.

“Uh-huh.” She didn’t buy it, but she was too distracted to push. “I was on my way to grab coffee with my mom, but I had to stop by first. A big one.”

I rubbed my eyes. “What kind of favor?”

Instead of answering, she pulled a folded piece of paper from her back pocket and held it out like it might explode. Her cheeks were already turning pink.

“I did something stupid.”

I rubbed my eyes. “It’s not even eight AM on a Saturday. How stupid could you hav

  • My Arch Nemesis in my Bed   Chapter 32

    Naomi appeared in the doorway. “So? How did it go? Did you give it to him?”I turned to look at her, and she must have seen something in my face because her expression fell.“He said no, didn’t he?”“He said… he said he can’t. Because it wouldn’t be fair to you.”“Fair to me?” She dropped her bag. “What does that even mean?”I opened my mouth, but no words came out. How was I supposed to explain that Luca had basically just confessed to having feelings for me? How was I supposed to tell my best friend that the guy she liked was interested in someone else—and that someone else was me?“Lily? What aren’t you telling me?”“Nothing,” I said quickly. “He just… he said he’s not in the right headspace for dating anyone right now.”It was technically true. Close enough to the truth that it didn’t feel like a complete lie.Naomi’s shoulders sagged. “Oh. Okay. I mean, I guess that makes sense. Senior year, graduation coming up, college applications…”“Yeah,” I said weakly. “Exactly.”She forced

    The gym lights were too bright against my eyes. I was sitting in my usual spot on the bench, my clipboard balanced on my knees, watching our boys warm up for the game. But something felt off. “You ready for this?” Coach Martinez asked, but his voice sounded distant, muffled. I nodded, though I wasn’t sure what I was supposed to be ready for. The scoreboard showed we’d already won—28-26, 25-23, 25-21—but the game was still happening. Players were still moving across the court in a slow motion. Luca went up for a spike, his body arcing through the air. But when he came down, his landing was too hard and I heard that sickening crack again. Something was definitely wrong. “Luca!” I was on my feet, moving toward the court, but my legs felt like they were moving through water. He was on his knees, hunched over, his shoulders shaking. The other players backed away, forming a circle around him. Even from the bench, I could hear his ragged and desperate breathing. “What’s happening?

    Tyler got reported for neighborhood disturbances so the party was at Jake’s house instead, his parents conveniently out of town for the weekend. By the time I arrived with Naomi, the celebration was in full swing. Everyone was either dancing, or trying to find someone to make out with under the excuse of “state champions.”,“I’ve decided,” she said, eyes sweeping the room. “Tonight is the night I finally get some damn action.”I didn’t even look at her. “That sounds like the start of a PSA.”“I’m serious, Lily. I’m riding this championship high all the way to someone’s mouth.”“Romantic.”Naomi ignored me, scanning the crowd. “Jake’s looking especially edible. Or maybe I should just say screw it and make a move on Luca. I mean, he did bleed all over the court. That’s practically foreplay.”I turned to give her a deadpan look. “Naomi.”She grinned, unbothered. “Relax. I’m mostly joking.”“Define mostly.”She shrugged. “It’s not my fault your mortal enemy’s kind of hot. You should’ve cl

    The sound was sickening. Luca hit the floor hard, and the gym went silent. I was moving before I realized it. But the team medic was already there, kneeling beside Luca’s crumpled form. “Let me see,” he said. But when he cut away the fabric of Luca’s shorts, his face went white. The gash was deep, running from his knee to mid-thigh. Blood was everywhere, soaking into the court, pooling beneath him. It looked bad—the kind of cut that needed stitches. But as I knelt beside him, something made me freeze. The wound was… smaller than it should have been. He dabbed at the blood with gauze, then stopped. His face went pale. “What the hell?” the medic whispered. “This wound… it’s closing.” My heart hammered against my ribs. I could see the confusion in his eyes, the way he was trying to process what he was seeing. In another few seconds, he’d start asking questions. Not here, not now, not with hundreds of people watching. “He bleeds too much from little wounds,” I said, grabbin

  • My Arch Nemesis in my Bed   Chapter 27

    The fake stomach flu lasted three days. Three days of lying in bed, staring at the ceiling, and pretending to be sick when really I was just… sad I guess. Maybe a bit depressed, but that gave me the break I needed to pull myself together. My mom brought me soup I didn’t want every single day. My dad checked my temperature with the back of his hand like I was seven again. And Luca… Luca stopped trying to corner me. I should have been relieved. This was what I wanted, right? So why did the silence feel worse than fighting? Last night , I heard him talking to my parents in the kitchen. “She’s just recovering,” he said. “The whole thing with graduation, the upcoming game… maybe she just needs time.” “I’m worried about her,” my mom said. “She’s been so withdrawn lately.” “She’ll be okay. She’s much stronger than you think.” I pressed my ear to the door, hating myself for eavesdropping but unable to stop. When had he started defending me to my parents? When had he started understan
