CHARLIE 

I swallowed hard, this is going to end crazy.

I led him inside.

"Where are you your parents?", he asked.

"Dad got back yesterday so, they're kinda enjoying their little moment together so we went ok a little outing", I said.

"Cute", he said and I led him upstairs to my room .

"Still have this Teen Titans poster on your wall?", he asked.

"I haven't gotten over them, not any year soon", I said.

We settled down on my table.

"So, uhm, what are we starting with?", he asked.

"Everything ",he said dumping all his text books on my table.

"Which subject do you think you like a little, just a little?",he asked.

He shrugged, "Art I guess, Fine art, cuz it's the only thing I actually enjoy doing, that and basketball ", he said.

I nodded, "Okay and what's the worse subject?".

"Maths ".

"Great, so we know your strength and weakness, what's the best grade you've had asides art".

"Physics, I had a C".

"You're not that terrible I've been worse", I said.

Then we started with physics, I was basically teaching him everything from scratch.

He was a very fast learner, I mean I know Cole he was very smart so I just feel like he low-key fell off on everything.

We finished everything before 9pm and I even gave him a little test on everything we learnt today and he had 82/100

I don't know what got into Cole but, honestly I'm glad I got back to talking to him again.

"I just called my driver he said he'll be here in 30 minutes", Cole Said as we wrapped up our meeting.

"You did good today, I honestly don't know why you need tutoring, I think you just need to read more", I said.

"I'll do my best, and thank you so much for this, it means a lot ", he responded.

"Well, at least I just have to bring an extra apple to school everyday, nothing more", I said.

"I'll tell him to stop taking your apples if you want".

"No no no it's fine, really it is, I don't mind, besides he looks like he needs something healthy in his life", I said and then made him chuckle.

"I'm really sorry about, disappearing, I honestly am, just being around you today feels so good, just like old times ", he said.

"Thanks, I'm just glad we can talk, it's really cool", I said.

"Wanna play video games till my driver comes around?", he asked.

I smiled broadly.

"I'm gonna kick your ass, I've gotten a lot better since then honestly ", I said.

"You wish",he said and we grabbed the console and started playing.

I honestly lost track of time but we played for 4 rounds and I won all three but then I just let him win the last one so he wouldn't go home crying, and yes I told him that.

Then there was a knock on my door.

"Oh hi Cole, it's good seeing you two like this, how was tutoring?", my mom asked.

"It was good ma'am, thank you",he replied 

"Well your driver Is outside",she said.

"Oh right, I should get going", he said getting up.

Then my mom closed the door and left 

"Your mom knocks on your room?", he asked me packing his things 

"Yeah I mean why not?", I asked.

She shook his head and sighed, "Nevermind", he said.

"So uhm, I think we should fix dates don't you think? for our meetings?" he asked.

"Yes of course, when will be okay with you?", I asked.

"Any day is okay for me,how about Wednesday Friday and Sunday?", he asked.

"Oh no I can't do Sundays, I play video games with my friend Ethan, it's like a ritual, I can't miss a day", I said.

He nodded.

"Okay how about Tuesday?", he asked.

I nodded, "Yes thats fine", I said.

"Alright then, and thank you so much for today, I honestly owe you a lot", he said leaving my room as I walked him downstairs.

"Oh no it's nothing, really, I'm glad I can help", I said and then he. greeted my parents and I watched him go into his car and then drive off.

I went back to my room and squealed like a three year old 

I cannot believe I just had a 4 hours date with Cole

it's a date I don't care what anyone else says.

I immediately called Ethan

"Hey what's up man?".

"Ethan you will not believe it but, I just had a date with Cole".

"Date??", he asked surprised.

"Yeahh, I mean tutoring or whatever I don't care what you call it but, the point is, I just had time to be with him, and we played video games right after, it was just like old times oh my Gosh I feel so happy like, I'm living in my dream come true".

"You're so delusional Nate, so Delusional, but I don't care tell me more", he said excited and I gave him the full details.

  • My Secret Boyfriend    Chapter 38

    The rain came before the morning did.Soft, rhythmic, like the sky was trying to hush the world. It should’ve been peaceful — the kindof morning that made you want to stay under the sheets, pretend nothing outside existed. But peacewasn’t something I could afford anymore.Cole’s arm was around my waist, heavy and protective, like even in his sleep he was daring theuniverse to come close. His breath brushed my neck, slow and even, and for a minute, I just stayedthere — still, watching the faint light slip through the curtains and fall across his face.He looked different when he slept. Softer. Like the walls he built just… didn’t exist for a while.And damn, it was dangerous — how much I liked that version of him.He stirred, his nose brushing my shoulder. “You’re staring,” he muttered, voice still rough withsleep.I smiled. “You’re imagining things.”“Uh-huh.” His lips curved. “You always do that when you think I’m asleep.”“Do what?”“Look at me like I’m gonna disappear.”My che

    By Wednesday, the school felt like a stage and we were the unwilling headliners.Every hallway we walked through came with a soundtrack of whispers, half-hidden phones, andthat fake laugh people use when they want you to know they’re talking about you.I was trying to play it cool — keep my head up, keep my steps even — but my stomach keptdoing this nervous rollercoaster flip thing.Cole?He walked like nothing bothered him.Hands in his hoodie pocket. Earbuds in. Calm as ever.It made me crazy — in the good way and the what-the-hell-how-do-you-do-that way.“You’re staring,” he said, glancing at me as we walked.I blinked. “I’m not.”He smirked. “You totally are.”“Shut up.”He chuckled. “You love me though.”And I hated how easily my heart stuttered when he said that — so casually, like it was nothing.Like it wasn’t everything.We reached my locker, and for once, no one said anything. Maybe the novelty was wearing off. Ormaybe Ariana had moved on to her next round of chaos.I sho

    If I said things calmed down after that note, I’d be lying through my teeth.They didn’t calm down.They just changed shape.People stopped whispering when I walked by — now they stared. Like I was a headline theycouldn’t stop reading.The weirdest part? I didn’t even flinch anymore.Okay, maybe a little.But mostly, I just learned to breathe through it.Cole, though?He was a walking storm.He didn’t yell or throw punches. He didn’t have to. His silence did the heavy lifting.And when Cole’s quiet, that’s when people should start praying.By Friday, the whole school was on edge.Even teachers gave us that look — like they could sense something building. Something that wasgoing to snap.We were halfway out of the school gates when Cole said, “I need to see Ariana.”I froze. “What?”“She started this mess,” he said, shoving his hands in his hoodie pocket. “She can end it.”I snorted. “She won’t. She doesn’t do mercy, Cole. She thrives on chaos.”His jaw flexed. “Then I’ll give her a

    CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVEI used to think falling for someone would be a clean thing. Like a perfect movie moment whereeverything clicked, and suddenly the world made sense.Yeah. That’s not how it happens.Falling for Cole was messy. Complicated. Loud.And right now? It was dangerous.Monday blurred into Tuesday, and the noise around us didn’t fade — it sharpened. The whispersweren’t just whispers anymore. They had edges. Names. Questions. Accusations.By the time I made it to my locker, it felt like the whole school was humming with rumors.“Did you hear—”“—they were at his house—”“—not even trying to hide it anymore—”Every sentence had our names tucked somewhere inside.When I opened my locker, a folded piece of paper slid out. My heart stumbled as I unfolded it.Four words.STAY AWAY FROM HIM.I stared at the paper a second too long, like it might rearrange itself into something less predictable.It didn’t.“Nate,” a voice said behind me.I crumpled the note and shoved it in my poc

    CHAPTER THIRTY-FOURSunday nights used to feel quiet. Like the world was taking a breath before the chaos of Monday.But not anymore. Now Sunday nights felt like the calm right before a storm I couldn’t quite seecoming.I lay flat on my bed, staring at the ceiling like it had answers I couldn’t find. My room was quietexcept for the low hum of the ceiling fan and my heartbeat. Too loud. Too fast.My phone lit up beside me.Cole.Cole: You still up?Me: Yeah. Why wouldn’t I be?Cole: Because it’s 1 a.m., smartass.Me: Can’t sleep.Cole: Same.I stared at the screen, fingers hovering.He typed again before I could.Cole: Want me to come over?My chest tightened. It wasn’t even about him being here — it was about him asking.Me: You’re insane.Cole: Insanely charming, yeah I know.Me: No, just insane.Cole: I’m already outside.I sat up so fast the mattress groaned.“Idiot,” I muttered under my breath, pulling a hoodie over my T-shirt.When I cracked my window open, the cool night air h

    CHAPTER THIRTY-THREEThe rumor thing? Yeah, it didn’t die over the weekend. It mutated. Like some weird gossip zombiethat just wouldn’t stay in the ground.By Tuesday morning, it was everywhere. I didn’t even make it to my locker before I heard my namewhispered at least five times. And not in a cute “wow, Nate’s so cool” way. More like “oh myGod, did you hear—”I yanked my hoodie tighter around me like it could block out their voices. Spoiler: it didn’t.The hallway smelled like coffee and cheap cologne. The fluorescent lights buzzed like they werejudging me too.I caught a group of juniors by the drinking fountain. One girl leaned in close, whispering with wideeyes like she’d discovered some national secret. Another giggled. The third just stared at me like Iwas a zoo exhibit.Cute. Real cute.I tried to keep walking, head down, pretending I didn’t exist. But my ears? Yeah, they betrayed me.“—they were totally holding hands—”“I swear, Ariana said she saw them at the edge of t
