Daniel continued pouring out his feelings, his voice filled with a mix of vulnerability and gratitude. "You understand me like nobody else does. You saw this coming, didn't you?" Frustration laced his words as he ran his fingers through his hair, his exasperation evident. "I don't say it often, but I want you to know that I consider myself incredibly lucky to have you by my side, always."Florence couldn't contain her joy and affection for him, her cheeks dimpling with a wide smile. She reached over and pinched his cheeks gently, her eyes welling up with happy tears. "Same pinch! You're truly the only constant presence in my life," she declared, her voice filled with genuine warmth.In response, he pulled her into a tight embrace, their bodies pressed close. Florence melted into his arms, resting her chin on his shoulder blade, cherishing the comforting closeness they shared. The embrace symbolized their unwavering bond and the depth of their connection.Suddenly, his tentative voice

And just like that, a week had passed, and yet everything felt different for Ruby, despite the outward appearance of normalcy. Ever since she made the conscious decision to acknowledge and accept her feelings for Caden, he had become a constant presence in her thoughts. He seemed to weave his way into her dreams, appearing as a visitor in her subconscious mind. Her notepad was now adorned with absent-minded doodles, with the letter 'C' enclosed in a heart, a symbol of her infatuation. Despite her preoccupation with her crush, Ruby remained focused on her academics, recognizing the impending mid-term exams. She wasn't the type of girl to neglect her studies while indulging in romantic daydreams. Instead, she diligently worked day and night, taking detailed notes while others engaged in idle gossip. While her peers watched random football practices, she would often be found in the library, immersing herself in her studies. Although she longed to be there to support her best friend, Luke

“It's nothing. Don't think about that!” she whispered to herself.She sighed over her erratically beating heart and heard his reply, "We started on the wrong foot. And it was my fault. I just didn't think you'd react that way. But I want to start fresh. I think you're smart. You managed to beat me in chem and—"Ruby interrupted him, "We had a competition?""You tell me, did we?" Ruby shook her head nonchalantly. He continued, "I believe smart people should stick together. So," He brought his hand forward. "I'm Caden. Welcome to Willowbrook."Ruby looked at him in confusion, hesitating before she shook his hand, managing a tiny smile. "Ruby Norman. Thank you for not spilling milkshakes on me this time."***"Why would she lie to me?" Ruby questioned, her voice filled with confusion and hurt.Luke sighed. “It’s not a big deal,” he assured her.Her surroundings were a chaotic blur, reflecting the turmoil within her mind. Observing the vibrant energy of her peers, she couldn't help but

Paige entered the nearly empty classroom with a storm of anger. Heads turned to observe her as she marched purposefully towards Caden, who appeared completely clueless about the brewing storm. Olivia, with her usual nonchalant tone, remarked, "Satan's back. Wow," rolling her eyes in response to the dramatic entrance.Caden arched an eyebrow, uncertain of how to respond to Paige's sudden presence and obvious frustration. He awaited her next move, bracing himself for whatever was about to come.“I want to talk to you,” she told him.Caden’s response was dry. “Fine. Talk.”Paige let out a deep sigh of frustration, feeling a mix of offense and disappointment at Caden's lack of immediate attention. After being away for two whole weeks, she had expected him to be more attentive, clinging to her as he usually did. But his indifferent attitude was like a blow to her heart. Did this mean her suspicions derived from the pictures were true? Was he really over her?In a softer tone, Paige made an

"No, I don't," he replied firmly, although deep down, he wasn't entirely sure if he truly believed his own words. "She's shallow and thinks she's smarter than everyone else, with a false sense of superiority. She puts on a facade of being humble and good, but her anger management is terrible. I could never develop any feelings for her, nor could I ever be friends with her."He had the impulse to continue insulting Ruby, but he restrained himself, realizing that the look of disappointment on Paige's face wasn't something he wanted to witness. He cleared his throat, refocusing his attention on his girlfriend."The only person I have ever had feelings for is you, Paige," he confessed. "All the girls I dated before were just attempts to forget about you. But one simply cannot forget Paige Denize!" A faint smile flickered on his face before disappearing just as quickly. "That girl messed with my emotions, and I wanted to get back at her. Now she's definitely distracted."Paige reluctantly
Reckless Hearts Chapter 25
The conflicting voices of an angel and a devil echoed in Ruby's mind as she stood in front of the mirror in the pristine girls' washroom. The angel's voice, gentle and melodious, reassured her, emphasizing that she wasn't shallow. However, the devil's voice, croaky and sly, couldn't resist chiming in with a retort, calling her stupid.Frustrated by the conflicting thoughts swirling in her head, Ruby stomped her feet on the clean white tiles, trying to ground herself. She studied her reflection in the wide mirror, her scowl reflecting her inner turmoil.Her expression softened for a brief moment, but the fury quickly resurfaced. She couldn't help but experience a whirlwind of emotions after witnessing the recent events. On one hand, she questioned why she allowed someone else's opinion of her life to hold any weight. After all, that person hadn't lived a single second of her experiences, while she had lived through every moment.The sinking sensation that had engulfed Ruby started to s

"Oh, nothing. I've actually grown to like that nerdy side of you. Plus, it's always good to have a nerdy friend around, you never know when you might need one!" Florence chuckled, and Ruby playfully smacked her in response. "Okay, okay, let me be honest," Florence continued with a mischievous grin. "I really admire your fashion sense, and I think you're cool." She nonchalantly popped a french fry into her mouth. "But as your friend, I want to offer you some advice," Florence said, leaning in closer. "You're not allowed to give me any advice in return, though!" she added quickly, anticipating Ruby's playful retaliation. As the locks of Florence's hair shielded Ruby from the rays of the setting sun, her hair took on a radiant golden glow. Ruby listened attentively, grateful for her friend's concern. "Paige has Caden wrapped around her little finger. She won't let him go. But trust me, you can do better than him. I'm saying this now because I don't want you to be sad about him later o

"I want to see you smile and giggle like you always do," Luke expressed, observing the visible surprise in Tanya's eyes and the blush that spread across her tanned cheeks. As the sun hid behind the clouds once again, allowing cold winds to enter through the open windows, Luke assumed it was the reason for her change in demeanor. "You see, I have this impression of you. A hyperactive teenager who never stops talking and is constantly all over the classroom," Luke continued, his ears picking up the sound of teeth grinding together, likely coming from the person sitting beside him. He carried on, disregarding any warning signs, "You throw insults randomly and call people by nicknames. What else...?" Luke pondered for a moment, and that's when Olivia's fist came down hard on the desk, grabbing his full attention. The coldness in Olivia's voice was chilling, even compared to the winds blowing into the classroom. "You seem to have a death wish," she retorted sharply. Luke let out a heav
