Champ POV

After all the questions. Kyle mtum went back to whatever she was doing. I was beginning to think, she worked as a detective.

"Damn Kyle, your mum is so..."

"Don't blame aunty, she's like that with everyone." The Kayla girl said smiling at me, " my Kyle had seen enough and it made aunty turn that way.

'Your Kyle? The audacity.' my head whispered to itself...

Kyle shot me a look, half amused and exasperated, and I knew he was thinking the same thing. I didn’t answer; instead, I let her yap and talk too much, letting Kyle take the lead.

"I'm leaving, tell your mum that!" Kyle nodded and motioned for me to follow him out to the front gate.

The afternoon sun had dipped low, shadows stretching across the driveway, the place looked a bit darker for the time.

We moved quietly, careful not to make a sound. I could feel his hand brushing mine once and it was enough to send that familiar warmth through me.

We stopped at the edge of the driveway. Kyle crouched slightly, peering toward t

    Kyle POVI woke up with my face buried in my pillow, my arm numb and my brain still malfunctioning like a kid, my thoughts couldn't help but drift to Champ…The way he looked at me like I was the only person on earth that mattered to him....I groaned and dragged my hand over my face. God. I know Champ was down, but I was down bad.I reached for my phone automatically. No notifications and a single one from him. I figured that out. He probably thinks my mum doesn't like him or something...I tossed the phone on my chest, stared at the ceiling for a moment, then grabbed it again, opened our chat, stared some more, threw it away again, sighed dramatically, grabbed it again —This was pathetic. I unlocked and typed before my brain could stop me: ~ Me: Let’s go for a date later. I’ll text you the place.I hit send and immediately rolled onto my stomach, kicking my blanket because my heart was hammering like I had just asked him to marry me.A minute passed. Two minutes and then five. I w

    Ryan POVI waved as Ethan drove off, pretending like I didn’t notice how long he stared at me before turning the corner.Mum was standing right beside me with the weirdest smile on her face. The type that meant trouble. The type that meant she knows something.I turned to look at her, suddenly interested in whatever nonsense was running through her head.“So…” she started, tilting her head, “do you care to tell me who that was?”I groaned on the inside. I knew she was going to ask about this.“That’s—” I tried to act casual, but she raised her brows higher and I shut up immediately.She stepped closer, still smiling way too wide. “And don’t even try lying to me, Ryan. I saw the way you were smiling when you came out and I saw him smiling back.”I blinked. “Mom —”“And,” she said loudly, “I SAW YOU TWO KISS.”My eyes almost fell out of my skull.“WHAT?!” I yelled.She burst into laughter, holding her phone up. “I didn’t take a picture… but I should have! The moment was too cute.”I cov

    Ethan POVThe moment Ryan stepped out of the house, still rubbing sleep from his eyes, he froze when he saw me, then he smiled.That tiny, stupid, sleepy smile he didn’t even realize he made and for a second… everything in my chest unclenched.But then like the dramatic gremlin he is, the smile vanished and he immediately frowned at me.“What are you doing here?” he snapped, crossing his arms so aggressively his T-shirt wrinkled.I bit back a laugh.He was mad but for some reason, I couldn't take it seriously, he was just too adorable and petty. I knew he was pretending not to care but actually he cares too much.I slipped my hands into my pockets casually.“Good morning to you too.”“Hm.” He lifted his chin like a spoiled prince. “You didn’t reply me yesterday.”Ah. There it was. I sighed softly, because I had been expecting this reaction.“I know,” I said calmly. “I didn’t ignore you.”He narrowed his eyes. “Then what? Your phone exploded?”“Close.” I gave a small smirk. “Mum took m

    Ryan POV"Ok, Champ, it's time to go," I said as I stuffed him with some popcorn. The fool wasn’t crying anymore, instead he was laughing at the ridiculous soap opera we were watching.Hours ago he was melting on the phone like ice cream left under the sun. Now? He had the audacity to laugh like he hadn’t just drenched my ear with premium heartbreak tears.He choked on a popcorn, hit my shoulder dramatically and pointed at the TV.“Oh my God, Ryan — look at her — look! She fainted because he took off his shirt. This is cinema.”I rolled my eyes so hard they should’ve hit the back of my skull.“Champ, go home. Your parents might file a missing report or something.”He ignored me and pulled the blanket closer to his chin. “Can we watch one more episode? Just one more, my little fragile heart is tired.”“You said that three episodes ago.”“But this episode looks so healing.”“You said that too.”He pouted with his full lips, I wasn't going to fall for that. “Please.”I sighed loudly just

    Ryan POV“Why the heck are you crying over the phone?”I immediately paused the movie I was watching , some romance thing with too much kissing and sat up because Champ was actually sobbing in my ear.Like full on wet sniffling, shaky breath, mucous vibrating sobbing.He had called me minutes ago sobbing on my ear like he called me just to do that. “Champ?” I said slowly. “Are you dying? Did someone beat you? Did Ethan threaten you? Blink twice.”He sniffed aggressively. “I, I’m not— I’m not dying—”“Then why are you crying like you auditioned for a tragic drama?”More sobs and loud shaky breath.Oh my God. Was he even breathing normal? I put the phone on speaker and grabbed tissues instinctively even though he needed them, not me.“Champ,” I said again, “WHAT happened?”He inhaled shakily, like he was trying to pull the entire atmosphere into his lungs.“K—Kyle,” he finally choked out.I instantly regretted asking.“Oh Christ.” I rubbed my forehead. “What did that boy do now?”“It’s
