Ethan POV

The air of the lecture theatre was thick enough to choke in. My skin prickled under the weight of both their stares, as neither retracted.

Asher's look was pure, blunt, void of emotion as he stared at me with a hint of discontent and suspicion in his eyes, as they narrowed all over my body, seeming to be faced by my dreadful look.

Stefan, however, had a smug look with his sarcastic grin, widened in pride at the sight of my dishevelled state, his grin a possessive one, a silent reminder of the morning excuse, that was currently making my blood boil.

I dropped my gaze to the floor, focusing on the marks on the scurf tile.

“Breathe Ethan, breath,” I muttered to myself, trying to calm my emotions, my head still down.

I just can't let Asher see the anger, he just can't see me in such a state again, I promised.

And I certainly do not want to give that jerk the pleasure of watching me boil in rage right now.

Mr Cliff's voice cut through my thoughts, “Given the…disappointing perfor

    Ethan POV StefanNot him. Anyone but him.What the hell is he doing here!I slammed the door shut, wiping off nothing on my eyes and then opened it right back, No illusions, it was still him.His legs and arms crossed, his posture stern and bold, his amber eyes dissecting me piece by piece, engulfing my entire soul as his low smirk grew larger by the passing seconds.“Come in.”Two words. A command, not an invitation. My feet complied before my mind could protest.I walked closer and just before I talked, he cut me right off with his sudden soft smile and words that shouldn't be.“You seem much better than yesterday, that's good.”What? What does he know about yesterday? Was he at the dorm when I got in?His smile widened at the sight of my unease, something I definitely shouldn't have expressed, especially knowing just what a type of guy he is, a predator.He stood, his eyes never releasing mine, his footsteps drew closer, and with each step, my feet retreating right up as I moved a

    Ethan POV My father huh, I can't even remember the last time we spoke, I guess those fake pictures with her must have really worked seeing he doesn't ever message me any more.But just why is she asking about that man? Did he do something?“So what about my old man?” I asked, slowing down the pacing of the car.“I heard he was the main sponsor of the games this time,” she said, her eyes already expecting a response.Ohh that? I instantly gave a relieved look, returning to my original speed, “I heard so too,” I responded bluntly. “That's all you are going to say? Seriously?”I flashed her a sarcastic smile, before facing the road again, “What else were you expecting, huh? You heard about it and so did I. Just get to the point already.”She gave a short dismissive scoff as she brought out a compact mirror, “Well, in case he does come, do make sure you act your role right, we need both our parents to believe this.”I reached for her face, facing it directly to mine, and I slowly whispe

    Ethan POV Bip! Bip! Bip! The loud noise from my alarm jolted me right up from bed, the bright sunlight drilled right through my eyes as my head skinned in pain. “The hell? ” I muttered, as I reached for the alarm clock I had just fumbled for. My head and site felt like it had been spinned through a blender.Jeez, why do I feel like I had just been run over by a bus? Just why does my head hurt so much…A buzz from my phone caught my attention, I reached for it, swiped to answer as a silver name flashed on the screen. “Silver hey—“Dude!” her couldn't have certainly cut through glass, certainly destroyed a cup of my eardrum.“Silver, please calm down,” I said, the phone far from my ears now.“Calm down? Are you kidding me? Do you know how fucking worried I was?”I swallowed my breath as I could feel her fuming rage right through the phone. “And just why were you so worried?”“Hmm let's see, maybe because my overly drunk best friend suddenly out of nowhere disappeared at a night bar

    Ethan POV The loud banging sound of music, the flashing crazy coloured light, with the intense smoke smell that filled the air, sent my mind in an array as Asher's words continued to ring deeply in my ears. “You are just my little brother, nothing more.”“Ethan, are you going to tell me just why you have been so moody since we got here?” Silver sudden poke with those sharp fingers of hers pulled me back to our seats at the club we were to celebrate the end of our volunteering.I grabbed her finger, my eye signalling her to quiet it, “Could you stop poking me already, it's nothing jeez, I'm just beat out that's all?”“Well it doesn't seem like nothing to me, also just why the hell are we sitting out here with the common folks, I mean we ….The loud music soon blocked Silver rants from my ears as my eyes scanned round the club until I caught sight of Asher and Rose walking right in together, a short scoff escaped from my mouth. Yeah …. It's nothing… just…nothing… always going to be n

    Ethan POV The sounds of morning bells, the soothing chirping of birds, the ever beautiful sunshine radiating through my window, and no sight of Stefan, woke me right up on the good side of bed.I looked at my friend down there, who already sprung right up, I stretched towards my phone to check the time.7:35am. Perfect. The only class I had was by 9am, and then it's off to my volunteer work. So technically, I get to see Asher much earlier today.I squealed right into my pillow and then whisked myself right up, straight to the bathroom and had a long hour soak in the bathtub, daydreaming about yesterday event with Asher and the entire butterfly effects I had felt.An hour passed, and I finally got out and still… no sense of that jerk, I couldn't feel happier at that moment.I got dressed, ready for class, and one more thing, I got pain relief medicine for Asher, I mean, he definitely seemed on edge the other day, so this should help.I got my car keys and soon headed out of my dorm ri

    Ethan POV Ohh come on!“You are kidding, right?” I muttered out, my entire mind a frantic blur of panic and exhaustion, as his hands were still locked around my neck, my eyes forced to meet his gaze.Ohh come on, didn't he just finish an entire marathon with that other dude, why the hell does he still want me?He leaned an inch closer, his breath hot against my skin, sending violent shivers right down my spine, as I prayed the bastard would just let go.Then a miracle, A sudden buzz of his phone, became my saviour at that moment.The pressure on my neck eased even more as he reached into his pockets, bringing out his phone.The glow in his eyes flickered while he read the screen, a slow smirk spreading along his face.“Yeah, you need something,” he asked, his voice a lazy draw, as his hands reached and played with my hair frivolously, his body didn't budge, still caging me in a standstill.“Now?” he paused, his expression toughened, as he gave off a flash hint of genuine irritation,
