~RHEA~“So, when are you planning to go back?”I paused with my fork halfway to my mouth and looked across the breakfast table at my father.“Wow. I’m barely here for a few days, and you’re already trying to get rid of me?”He chuckled, shaking his head as he reached for his coffee. “That’s not what I said.”“Sounded like it to me.”“I’m just worried about you, sweetheart. I know exams are coming up, and I don’t want everything that’s happened to affect your schoolwork.”I leaned back in my chair with a dramatic sigh. “Dad, let’s be honest. I’m not going to pass those exams anyway.”“Rhea.”“What? I’m only being realistic.”Heather snorted beside me, nearly choking on her juice. My father gave me a disapproving look, but I caught the smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.“I’m serious,” he said. “You can’t keep putting your life on hold because of everything that’s happened. I don’t want you throwing that away.”“I know, Dad.”And I did.Surprisingly, after confronting my mother, I

~RHEA~I stopped pacing when Heather finally spoke.“Your mother did what?”I dragged both hands through my hair, struggling to keep myself calm. “She was the only other person who knew about the article, Heather. The only one. Now that I think about it, it’s all clicking,”Heather stared at me for a moment before letting out a string of curses.“What kind of mother does that to her own child?” she demanded, getting to her feet. “Seriously, Rhea. What kind of mother deliberately tries to ruin her daughter’s life?”I swallowed, my throat tightening.“She gave Chase my diary on purpose knowing fully well he could use it against me” I said quietly. “Maybe she thought he would be enough to keep me away from Zander, but when he kept wasting time, she decided to take matters into her own hands.”The realization made my stomach turn.It was one thing to have Chase use my secrets against me. I had expected that from him. But my mother? The woman who had raised me? The woman who was supposed t

~RHEA~The ride home was painfully silent.I sat in the back seat with Heather beside me, staring out of the window while my father’s eyes occasionally met mine through the rearview mirror. Neither of them said much, but I could feel their worry.I had cried so much that I didn’t think I had any tears left. My eyes were sore, my throat hurt, and I felt completely drained.Luckily, Dad hadn’t been too far from campus when I called. He’d been there for a meeting and had immediately left to pick me up. I couldn’t imagine having to wait any longer before leaving that place.My phone had barely stopped ringing since we left and Zander’s name kept appearing on the screen, followed by messages that I couldn’t bring myself to open. Every time it rang, my chest tightened, and I found myself turning the phone facedown.It rang again and Heather glanced at it before looking at me. “Rhea, you should pick up.”I shook my head.“At least listen to what he has to say.” She urged.“I can’t.”“He’s pr

~ZANDER~“Excuse me. I need to get through.” I muttered through clenched teeth.“Zander, just one question!”“Did you know about the article before today?”“Are you going to defend your girlfriend?”I shoved past another reporter, trying to get out of the crowd, but there seemed to be a microphone waiting for me at every turn.“Can everyone just get out of my way?”“Zander!” Coach Jones caught my arm before I could push through another group. “Calm down.”“I need to find Rhea.”“And you will, but not while you’re acting like this. The reporters are everywhere, and the recruiter is still here. You need to handle this properly.”“I don’t care about the reporters! I need to talk to her.”Coach studied my face before lowering his voice. “Give me a minute. You can’t just disappear in the middle of all this.”I pulled out my phone and called her again but it went straight to voicemail.“Come on, Ladybug,” I muttered.I had barely gotten the chance to hold her again, and now she was gone. Sh

~RHEA~The first thing I noticed was the silence.The cheers had barely died down when the atmosphere around us changed. People who had been celebrating Zander’s victory were now staring in our direction, their phones raised as whispers spread through the crowd.At first, I didn’t understand what was happening. Zander was still holding me, his arm wrapped around my waist, and I could barely stop smiling after kissing him. I had missed him so much that even standing in his arms felt unreal.Then I looked up at him and his smile was gone.He was staring at his phone with his expression frozen in shock, and my own smile slowly faded.“Zander?” I asked.He didn’t answer.I was about to ask what was wrong when I spotted Chase from the corner of my eye. He stood a short distance away, watching us with a satisfied smirk that made my heart drop straight into my stomach.Oh, God.My fingers trembled as I pulled out my phone. Notifications flooded my screen, and before I could make sense of the

~ZANDER~My head snapped toward the stands and for a moment, I thought my mind was playing tricks on me but there she was.Rhea.She stood near the railing, wearing my jersey with her hair falling messily around her shoulders. She was waving both arms, a huge smile lighting up her face.“COME ON, CAPTAIN! YOU’VE GOT THIS!”I forgot how to breathe.She was here, She actually fucking cane!My eyes travelled over her face, taking in the smile I’d spent days missing. She looked so happy to see me that I almost forgot we were standing in the middle of a game.Then she cupped her hands around her mouth and shouted again.“GO, ZANDER! I’M ROOTING FOR YOU!”Something inside my chest loosened at the sound of her voice. I couldn’t stop staring at her.She’d worn my jersey just like I’d asked her to and it looked as amazing as I had imagined. I wanted to throw my stick down, climb into the stands, and pull her into my arms. I wanted to demand to know where she’d been, why she hadn’t come to th

~RHEA~ “He left you on the curb?” Heather screeched, horrified, as she led me up to her room.I had called her earlier and she had immediately given me the location of her dorm and luckily, she had taken my luggage with her.“Technically, I got out of his car and he can't exactly force me” I mut

~RHEA~ Girlfriend?“Girlfriend?” Heather, Chase and Sienna echoed as they stared at me like I knew a fuck about what was going on.The murmurs began as everyone in the crowd stared at us with wide eyes and I could see the questions in their eyes but they seemed too scared to speak.Before I could

~ZANDER~ Something was seriously wrong with me.Because for the last twenty minutes, all I could think about was a girl in a stupid Ladybug shirt.It made no fucking sense.Girls like her were exactly the kind I stayed away from, the ones that were too bright, too innocent looking and too soft.

~RHEA~ I wanted to look away but I couldn't.My eyes stayed locked on Zander Cole as if they had forgotten how to function properly.Water still clung to his skin, sliding down the sharp lines and tattoos on his chest before disappearing beneath the towel hanging dangerously low on his hips. Ever
