Am I going to regret this? Halsey questions herself. After her encounter with Daisy, she should have been more cautious but she couldn’t help it.

It felt…liberating.But now she’s scared again.Nathan is driving his car towards the outskirts of the town, heading for the bigger city. Halsey nervously bites her lip. Where are they going?“Just relax!” Nathan groans. “No one’s gonna kill you!”“Where are we going?” She asks nervously.“To the Mags,” Nathan shrugs.“The what?”“Huh? You’ve seriously never been to the Mags?”Nathan is surprised. He and his friends are regular customers of the Mags which is a casual bar. It operates in secret because they supply liquor to minors. Almost everyone at their school have visited the Mags so it’s shocking to him that Halsey doesn’t know about the place.“It’s an illegal bar,” Nathan replies.“What?” She exclaims. “A-An illegal bar? I can’t go in there! W-What

“Ugh!” Halsey sputters at the taste of the bitter beer. She winces and puts it away much to Nathan’s amusement.“It’s so bitter!” She mumbles.“Get used to it!” Nathan laughs and downs his drink in one go. Halsey only frowns at him. How can someone be so uncaring about consequences? What if they got caught?She glances at the beer again. “Go on,” Nathan nudges. “You’ll get used to it.”“Here goes nothing!” she mumbles and takes another sip. This time, she was prepared for the taste so it didn’t taste that bad. In fact, she can feel a burning sensation in her throat but it isn’t so bad. She holds her breath and takes more sips.“Easy!” Nathan cautions her when she hiccups. “Don’t drink it all in one go!”“Hic! What’s next?”Halsey is slurring a little. She’s already feeling the effects of the beer kicking in which makes Nathan check the bottle.“This one’s just forty percent alcohol!” He frowns. “You’re not supposed to get this drunk…”“Hic! I never had alcohol before…”Nathan sighs.
The Bad Boy Falls in Love Not So Bad

The Bad Boy Falls in Love A Shadow in the Trench

Lincoln and Charlotte were also sleeping soundly in their rooms. Halsey left a note next on Charlotte’s bedside table about meeting Nathan for a project. She can only hope that Charlotte doesn’t misunderstand her like Lincoln does.“Will he even come?” She wonders out loud. Nathan doesn’t seem like someone who wakes up early.Halsey debates whether to call him or not when she hears the bushes behind her shuffling.“Nathan?”She peers at the bushes and for a second, she thought she saw a shadow there.

Nathan grips the fork in anger, trying to control himself. Halsey looks from him to Daniel. There’s clearly some tension between the duo but they’re hiding it. Daniel is smiling as if nothing is wrong whereas Nathan is scared and angry. “I-I’m Halsey Scott,” she says with a small smile.“Scott…” Daniel frowns a little. “Are you by any chance the daughter of Jim Scott and Hannah Michell?”“Yes!” Halsey is surprised that Doctor Jacobs knew her parents. “How do you…”“Jim was an ace lawyer!” Daniel laughs. “Never lost a case for our hospital. I used to tell him to shift to New York and start a practice but he was content here. Hannah was a nurse at our hospital. I remember that she used to bring you with her at work sometimes.”His smile fades and he dons a sorrowful look. “I’m sorry about what happened to them,” he adds. “Two very good people, taken away too soon. It was a terrible accident.”Halsey simply nods her head but the topic of her parents is too painful to remember. “What’re

Halsey sits on a chair next to Nathan and takes a deep breath as she picks up the guitar again. Nathan isn’t really interested in her music but rather focused on steering Halsey away from Lincoln. It seems that she loves music and the only way to seduce her is by complimenting her music. “Uh…” Halsey fumbles to play a tune. It’s as if she suddenly lost her talent.“What’s wrong?” Nathan asks.“Can you not look?” She requests sheepishly. “It makes me nervous.”This nerd is a handful! Nathan groans inwardly but he turns around so that his back faces her.“Go on,” he says warily. Closing her eyes, Halsey begins to sing.“Pitter patter falls the rain on my windowCreating an art which depicts our taleThe once blue sky is cloudy,Hiding the star I seek.I look up in the sky,Hoping you’d be thereYou promised me that we’ll be togetherThen why did you leave me alone hither?You said you will shine like a starBut why can’t I see you up there?You promised me that we’ll be togetherThen w
