Rowan set the bottle down gently on the counter and crossed his arms, his gaze finally locking onto me. The way he looked made me sit up straighter, like I’d been caught doing something I shouldn’t, even though I hadn’t done anything too wrong... well, not that wrong, anyway.

"So," he said, his voice slow and laced with something I couldn’t quite figure out, "are you going to tell me where you’ve been all day?"

Why would he care?

The question shouldn’t have sent a flutter through my stomach. It

    The morning air hit my cheeks like ice, making me tug fruitlessly at the neck of my turtleneck, wishing I could just disappear into it. I heard the front door shut behind me, and even before I turned, I could tell it was him. Rowan had this way of filling the space around him...a quiet, heavy presence that always settled over me before he even said anything. He stayed silent at first, just walking past me with his keys in hand, his jaw set tight. Each step felt charged with a frustration that twisted my stomach. I followed him down the driveway, partially because I needed to get to school, but mostly because I sensed he wasn’t done silently critiquing the sweater clinging to my neck. He opened the driver’s side door and paused to look over the car at me. His face was hard to read, but his voice cut through the air. "Get in," he said flatly. I blinked. "What?" "I’m giving you a ride to school." No pleasantries, no softness. He just leaned against the door, almost challenging me to

    I unfolded the flyer again just to check I wasn’t hallucinating, and yep...there it was in huge sparkly letters at the bottom:"COOL KIDS ONLY, NO EXCEPTIONS."I almost choked on my breath."Nope," I immediately muttered, pushing it back toward the freshmen like it was toxic waste. "Yeah, they must’ve made a mistake. Here, give this to someone who actually fits that bill."The boy looked confused. "But... we did. That’s why we gave it to you."I blinked at him. "Me? I am not...even on my best, totally delusional day, what you’d call a cool kid."The curly-haired girl shook her head earnestly. "Um... actually, you kinda are now."My brain stalled. "I’m sorry, what?"The tallest girl nodded like she was sharing some big investment news. "You’re dating Frank Carrington. That alone bumps your social score to, like, a hundred.""And you’re friends with Rowan Harrigan," the boy added, as if saying Rowan’s name was a serious upgrade.Friends? Is that really how people saw us now that Rowan g

    After finishing lunch and dragging myself through two more classes, it felt like my brain was just leaking out of my ears. I made a quick stop at my locker to grab my notes for the next period, trying to balance my textbooks against my hip while I rummaged for the right folder.The hallway was buzzing with that restless energy people get when the weekend’s almost here, loud voices, laughter bouncing off lockers, and the occasional loud clang of someone slamming theirs a bit too hard.I overheard a couple of junior girls a few lockers down chatting away, and even though I wasn’t eavesdropping on purpose, their voices just carried."Carlisle Henderson’s party is going to be insane," one of them whispered like she was sharing a big secret. "Everyone’s saying it’ll be the biggest one he’s ever had.""Were you invited to the party, Martha?""No...such a bummer, honestly. I’ve always wanted to go to one of his parties."I couldn’t help but snort softly. They always said that about every par

    I woke up the next morning already regretting almost every decision that led me to this moment, because there I was... standing in front of my mirror, tugging at the neck of the thick gray turtleneck sweater I’d sworn I would never wear in my life. It felt like a suffocating wool prison hugging my throat.But desperate times called for desperate measures—and nothing screamed "hide the hickey your boyfriend left on your neck in the dressing room of a mall" more than a turtleneck.I didn’t even look like myself. I looked like someone who enjoyed jazz cafés and knitted on weekends.Not that licking those things were bad, just that it didn’t feel like... me.Still, I grabbed my backpack, inhaled deeply, and forced myself downstairs before I chickened out.As I made my way down the stairs, I hoped no one would notice how stiff I looked in this ridiculous turtleneck. Each step felt like I was walking to my own execution. The sweater felt like a wool noose around my neck, and I kept tugging

    Once my bedroom door clicked shut, I let out a long, shaky breath I’d been holding since I practically ran from Rowan. I slid down the door a little, feeling the weight of the day hit me all at once.My heart was still fluttering, not sure whether to relax or keep panicking. It was kind of ridiculous, but I couldn’t stop replaying everything, the mall, the laughter, the chaos of Millie searching for the dress with the perfect aura, that changing stall...Oh God.The stall.My cheeks warmed at the memory, heat flooding my face as if someone had lit a candle inside me. I covered my face with my hands and groaned quietly because the moment I thought about it, my body remembered exactly how it felt. How close we were. How desperately we’d moved against each other until—I exhaled again, this time a shaky breath.I had never... been with anyone like that. Not even close. And the fact that it happened in such a tiny space, with the world buzzing on the other side of the door like we were do

    Rowan set the bottle down gently on the counter and crossed his arms, his gaze finally locking onto me. The way he looked made me sit up straighter, like I’d been caught doing something I shouldn’t, even though I hadn’t done anything too wrong... well, not that wrong, anyway."So," he said, his voice slow and laced with something I couldn’t quite figure out, "are you going to tell me where you’ve been all day?"Why would he care?The question shouldn’t have sent a flutter through my stomach. It’s not like I owed him a rundown of my day. But the tone he used...controlled, expectant, as if he already knew he wouldn’t like whatever answer I’d give, made my fingers start to fidget. I instinctively tugged at the neckline of my shirt, feeling heat creep up my neck.When his eyes narrowed, it was like a slap to the face.Oh God.The mark.I’d completely forgotten about it amidst the chaos of coming home and arguing with him, and now it was out there in the open, like a flashing neon sign.My
