LOGINAARON'S POV“No.”His answer still hung in the air.Just that.The entire hallway had gone completely silent like someone had pressed pause on reality.Vanessa couldn't even say a word. Her smile had completely wiped off.She just stood there frozen, trying to process what had just happened. Her friends behind her looked equally shocked, confused and embarrassed.I’d never seen Vanessa get rejected before.Honestly… nobody had.My eyes moved back to Jack. He had already pulled his arm away from Vanessa and started walking away like he didn’t just shock the entire crowd with just one word.People were still staring at him as he walked through them. The crowd split automatically, obviously afraid to stop him.I should’ve looked away but I couldn’t. Halfway through, Jack suddenly turned his head.Our eyes met again.But this time… it felt different. I couldn’t explain it.Then, he looked away and kept walking.My chest tightened.Earlier… I hadn’t even realized how tense I was until that
JACK'S POVMy head has been spiraling with several thoughts after I found out my theory had been wrong all this while. If U.X. was really in the same team as mine, then I had been looking at the wrong team all along. While at the coach's voice, I searched the drawers and found the list of the names of people in my team. Ofcourse, no one had a name with the initials, U.X. It seemed the only way I would be able to find out who the fuck U.X. was going to be through Alex.I had a video of him taking drugs. The next time I got my hands on him, he would definitely spit it out.As I turned towards a new hallway, I noticed a gathering at the end of that hallway. Probably someone was being publicly bullied. I discarded the thought when I noticed the balloons and golden decorations. Maybe someone wanted to announce a party.I didn't think too much about it since I wasn't even in the mood for any of that right now. I approached the crowd and made to walk past when someone grabbed my arm.My
AARON'S POVI shifted uncomfortably in my seat.The cafeteria was still noisy around us. Ever since the school management sent that email about the masquerade gala, it felt like nobody could talk about anything else.It had now become the main talk of the day.A group of girls a few tables away were giggling and chatting about wearing matching outfits. Another group was already arguing about who would win the ‘Best Pair’ competition.Meanwhile, Chloe kept stealing glances at me. I had a feeling I knew what she was thinking.Maybe she wanted to know if I already had a date partner. Maybe she wanted to be my date partner. Or maybe she thought I'd naturally ask her.Honestly, none of those thoughts made me hate her.Chloe was a really good friend. The problem was that I couldn't give her what she wanted.Not when every thought in my head kept circling back to one person.Jay."Do you have a date partner already?” Chloe finally asked.I looked up to meet her staring at me already. Kyle im
AARON'S POV "Kyle!!!"I screamed and waved my hand the moment I stepped into the cafeteria. A few heads turned in my direction before quickly losing interest and returning to their conversations.At one of the tables near the middle of the cafeteria, Kyle's head snapped up so fast in a funny way. Beside him, Chloe looked just as surprised.I grinned and walked over.Actually, ever since last night, that smile hadn't left my face. Jay's response was the last thing I'd expected. He had been acting cold and distant lately so I was thinking he would decline the invitation instantly. Though, he hadn't said yes, but he hadn't said no either. He said he’ll consider going with me if he wasn't too busy. For some reason, my brain had decided that was basically a yes.The thought of spending time with Jay outside the club made my heart race every single time it crossed my mind.I reached the table and dropped into an empty seat, opposite Kyle and Chloe.Kyle slowly lowered the sandwich in his
JACK'S POVAaron wanted me to go with him to the masquerade gala?My stomach flipped.I just stood there staring at him while the question echoed in my head.Would you like to come with me to a school masquerade gala?Despite how distant I'd always been with him, despite how many times I'd acted cold and professional, despite the fact that I never gave him anything more than the bare minimum… he still thought of me enough to invite me out.My chest tightened strangely as reality came crashing down on me.No, I couldn't go.What if someone recognized me? What if U.X. decided to pull another stunt? What if my mask slipped off? What if someone saw me leaving with Aaron? What if something happened and my identity got exposed?My stomach twisted.Aaron had never seen Jay in casual clothes before. Every single time he'd seen Jay, I was wearing a thong and a mask.What if he saw me dressed normally? What if somebody looked at me and immediately thought of Jack?Aaron wasn't stupid.I couldn'
AARON'S POVMy eyes went wide. Jay wanted me to fuck him. He wanted me to cum in his ass. My stomach flipped as my dick hardened again at the thought.Holy fuck.I had once fucked Jay before but I was the one who suggested it. Now, he was the one suggesting it, meaning he enjoyed it enough to want it again.My throat bobbed with excitement.Jay climbed onto the bed as I knelt upright, staring at his lips. Can I kiss him? I licked my lips.Fuck… no, I can't. I recalled how he had told me ‘kissing is against the club policy’ two nights ago. I didn't want to ruin this moment. So instead, my hands wrapped around his waist as I pulled him closer.Our dicks came in skin-to-skin contact as we both grunted.My face flushed, as I stared at Jay upclose. I couldn't see his face but I knew he could see my face behind the mask. That alone made my cheeks burn. Then I attached my lips to his neck and licked it slowly.Jay exhaled sharply as his hands gripped my upper back. “I'm going to fuck y
AARON'S POV“Still don't see it yet?” My eyes stayed on my screen, reading the text over and over again. The sender was obvious.U.X.What exactly was I supposed to see? I already knew Jack was into boys and now this… everyone already thought Jack slept around.So what exactly was I supposed to s
JACK'S POV Alex looked away immediately as his fingers tightened around the teacher's desk.A dark smirk crept onto my lips. He was so quick in giving himself away with his reactions.“None… none of them,” he replied, his voice cracking. Only a dumb person would believe him.“You're testing my pat
JACK'S POV"Good question."Alex didn't smile back. His face had gone completely pale. His eyes kept darting between me and my phone like he was hoping one of us would disappear.I leaned back in the chair and crossed one leg over the other. "You're going to tell me everything."His throat bobbed.
AARON'S POVI didn't stop running until Mercer Street was far behind me. My chest burned as I finally slowed down and wiped away the tears.The cold night air hit my face, but it didn't help.My hand tightened around my phone as I walked home. The image of Jack coming out of the club kept replaying
