My Bully Next Door Chapter 80
EllaI should have known.The universe had allowed me approximately twelve hours of happiness before deciding to humble me.That was apparently the limit.Because the second I stepped into school Monday morning, I knew something was wrong.Not wrong wrong.Not emergency wrong.Just…everyone-is-looking-at-me wrong.The parking lot looked exactly the same as always. Cars. Students. Teachers trying to pretend they weren’t already exhausted before first period.Normal.Everything should have felt normal.Instead, it felt like I had accidentally walked onto a stage.People kept looking.Not staring outright.Just those quick little glances people make when they think you’re not paying attention.Then whispers.Then more glances.Then somebody actually pointed.My stomach immediately dropped.“Nope.”Lila looked up from her phone.“What?”“Nope.”She followed my gaze toward a group of girls standing near the entrance.The second they noticed us looking, they turned away.Too late.I had al
My Bully Next Door Chapter 79
EllaThe first thing I realize after Beckett kisses me is that I have absolutely no idea how to act like a normal human being anymore.The second thing I realize?Neither does he.Which honestly makes me feel a little better.The drive home is quiet.Not awkward quiet.Just…new.Every time I look at him, I remember that ten minutes ago he was kissing me in a restaurant parking lot.Every time he glances at me, his ears turn slightly red.It’s ridiculous.He’s ridiculous.We’re both ridiculous.The worst part?I can’t stop smiling.I try.I genuinely do.But every time I remember his face afterward, another smile appears.By the time we pull into the driveway, my cheeks actually hurt.“This is your fault.”Beckett glances over.“What is?”“The smiling.”His mouth twitches.“Pretty sure that’s not how fault works.”“It absolutely is.”“Interesting.”“I’m serious.”“Good thing I like your smile.”My entire brain immediately catches fire.I hate him.I really do.Unfortunately, I also li
My Bully Next Door Chapter 78
BeckettI don’t remember what we talked about for the rest of dinner.That’s probably a problem.A serious one.Because I’m pretty sure Ella told me an entire story about a professor who accidentally emailed a test answer key to the wrong class.I know she did.I remember watching her laugh halfway through it.I remember the way her eyes lit up when she got excited.I remember the way she used her hands when she talked.I remember every single expression on her face.The actual story?No idea.Not a clue.Which means I’m either hopelessly distracted or suffering from a medical condition.Honestly, both feel possible.The waitress drops off the check.Ella immediately reaches for it.I immediately pull it away.Her eyes narrow.“Absolutely not.”“I was going to say the same thing.”“You invited me.”“And?”“And that means you’re not paying.”She looks genuinely offended.“I have money.”“I know.”“Then why can’t I use it?”I grin.“Because I’m trying to impress you.”Her cheeks immedia
My Bully Next Door Chapter 77
EllaI should be excited.That’s what normal girls would be, right?Excited.Happy.Maybe a little nervous.Not standing in front of their closet for forty-five minutes staring at their clothes like they’re preparing for battle.Unfortunately, I am not a normal girl.I am a disaster.A complete disaster.And tonight is my first official date with Beckett Carter.The thought alone is enough to make my stomach perform gymnastics.I pull out three different shirts.Reject all three.Put one back.Take it back out.Reject it again.Then I flop dramatically onto my bed.“This is stupid.”My closet offers no solutions.Rude.A knock sounds against my door.Before I can answer, it opens.My mother walks inside carrying a basket of laundry.She takes one look at me sprawled across the bed surrounded by clothes and immediately starts laughing.“Oh, this is serious.”I sit up.“It is serious.”“Sweetheart, you’re going to dinner. Not war.”“You don’t understand.”“I absolutely understand.”No.
My Bully Next Door Chapter 76
BeckettThe thing nobody tells you about finally getting the girl is that it doesn’t magically make you less stupid.If anything, it makes you worse.Case in point:I finally asked Ella Monroe out in front of my entire family, half my football team, her mother, and God himself.She said yes.And somehow, now I’m even more nervous than I was before.Which feels unfair.Very unfair.Because for weeks I’ve been fighting for this.Fighting myself.Fighting my reputation.Fighting every dumb instinct I’ve ever had.And now that I’ve actually won?My brain has apparently decided to short-circuit.“You’re smiling again.”I look over.Sean is standing in my living room holding a soda.“Go away.”“You’ve been smiling for ten straight minutes.”“I have not.”“You absolutely have.”Across the room, Tyler nods.“Honestly, it’s creepy.”“I hate all of you.”“No you don’t,” Sean says cheerfully.Unfortunately, he’s right.Mostly.The room is still recovering from what just happened.Mom keeps looki
My Bully Next Door Chapter 75
EllaI don’t sleep.At all.Which honestly shouldn’t surprise me anymore.The last few weeks have basically been one long lesson in how to function on emotional damage and caffeine.But tonight is different.Because every time I close my eyes, I hear Beckett’s voice.I’m done pretending.The words have been living rent-free in my head for hours.Along with the look on his face when he said them.Not cocky.Not charming.Not the version of Beckett Carter that knows exactly what to say to get people on his side.Just…honest.Terrifyingly honest.Which somehow makes it harder to dismiss.I roll onto my side and stare at the packed suitcase sitting beside my bedroom door.Mom will be here in a few hours.By lunch, I’ll be back in my own house.Back in my own room.Back to normal.The thought should make me feel relieved.Instead, it leaves a strange ache in my chest.Because somewhere along the way, this house stopped feeling temporary.It became familiar.Safe.And the most dangerous pa
My Bully Next Door Chapter 61
Ella The next few days are dangerous. Not because Beckett and I fight. Not because he’s confusing me. Not even because we’re still trying to figure out whatever this thing between us is. They’re dangerous because they’re easy. And honestly? That’s so much worse. Because Beckett tries. He re
My Bully Next Door Chapter 60
Ella I barely slept. Every time I closed my eyes, I heard his voice again. I think I’m falling in love with you. The words shouldn’t feel real. They shouldn’t belong to me. Not when they came from someone like Beckett Carter. But somehow they do. And that’s the problem. Because now I’m lyin
My Bully Next Door Chapter 59
Beckett I think I’m falling in love with you. The words hung in the air between us long after I’d said them. And the worst part? I couldn’t even pretend they had slipped out by accident anymore. Not really. Sure, I hadn’t planned to say them. God knows I hadn’t walked upstairs carrying a pint
My Bully Next Door Chapter 58
Ella I still liked him anyway. God. Just thinking about it made me want to crawl under my bed and stay there until graduation. The second I shut my bedroom door, I pressed both hands over my face and groaned. What kind of person admits something like that? Seriously. What kind of emotionally
