Shirley POV

“Shirley? Girl, why are you so absent-minded? We need to finish this project before tomorrow.”

“Yeah… you don’t want us to fail now, do you?” I rolled my eyes. “It’s teamwork, have you forgotten?”

“No, I haven’t. That’s why I’m helping you by reminding you.” Kayla stood up, grabbed a hand fan, and started waving it at her own face. “See? Helping you.” She blew me a dramatic kiss and pretended to wipe imaginary sweat from my forehead. “Fine, fine… I’m going to write. I’m just a littl

  • The Captain that was never mine   That's a yes right

    Jeremiah POV “Stacey… Stacey… Stac—” I called after her, but she only walked faster toward her car and slipped inside. I reached for the door handle. “Hey, wait up. Let’s talk.” She slammed the door in my face. I immediately stepped in front of the car, blocking her path. She shot me a sharp glare and laid on the horn, trying to force me to move. Instead I climbed onto the hood and waved at her through the windshield. Yeah, she was definitely pissed now. She slammed the horn one last time. The deafening blast echoed across the parking lot. Finally the driver’s door flew open and she stormed around to face me. “What is your problem, huh? Why are you following me?” “Following you? Am I?” “Don’t play stupid with me. What are you even doing here? Shouldn’t you be with Shirley? You gave her flowers. You’ve liked her for a while. I’ve seen it, and I’m happy for you. These past few weeks I distracted you from chasing her, and I get that you want to take her seriously. In fact, I’m s

  • The Captain that was never mine   Flowers

    Shirley POV Bastard. I cursed him under my breath as I walked away. I couldn’t even enjoy a walk to myself. My mind was still spinning when I crashed straight into someone coming the other way. “So sorry—” I bent down quickly, ready to help pick up whatever had fallen, but she was faster. “So sorry…” I started again, then finally recognized the face. Janine. “Hi… Shirley. Sorry.” She looked different. Not completely, but there was certainly a difference. Usually she let her hair hang loose and kept her head down when she walked. Some days her makeup was so heavy she looked like a gothic ghost. Today her hair was pulled back into a neat bun, and she wore light makeup that actually suited her face, making her look prettier than she normally let herself appear. Almost like she had been deliberately hiding it before. That was absurd. Why would a girl want to hide her own beauty? “Umm… I’ll get going then.” I took a step forward. “Wait…” I turned and raised an eyebrow. “I’m host

I have no idea what’s bothering you, Shirl. One minute you’re happy, the next you’re sad. Your mood swings are unpredictable, and I’ve just come to terms with that.”I groaned. “Ughhh… I guess I’m just a little anxious about the college applications. And all these projects and assignments. Plus the competition. We got second place last time, and somehow Stacey and I are on good terms now, which kind of freaks me out…”“No way.” Kayla’s eyes widened.“

  • The Captain that was never mine   Not everyone is as narrow-minded as you are

    Sebastian POVWhat…?I opened my mouth slightly in shock. I hadn’t been expecting anything like this when Coach called me to his office. Seeing Brad already enter was surprise enough. Hearing that he was about to lose the captain title, well... I was not even sure how to feel. After the whole mess with Shirley I had stopped sticking my nose into Brad’s business, and thankfully he had mostly stopped sticking his into mine. We had managed something close to peaceful coexistence. I figured that was for the best.“I refuse,” Brad said, voice rising with pure rage. “If this is how you’re going to run the team, I’d rather drop out of it completely.”I wasn’t surprised by the outburst. He was used to people fawning over him. Realizing he was no longer the untouchable golden boy had to sting. Still, he had been messing up all season. The consequences were finally catching up.Coach’s expression stayed calm. “Fine, Mr. Walker. Fine. There will be other players. Better players than you, even. B

  • The Captain that was never mine   Party

    Brad POV “Come on… let’s just do it. No one would suspect anything if it was your party. You’ve got no beef with anyone, and it would be way easier to control the drinks.” I hated having to beg someone like crazy Janine, but I needed her help. Over the past few weeks Shirley had ignored every single sign and hint I threw her way, and it was driving me insane. It was getting under my skin. I needed a way to force her to talk to me. I had tried arranging dinner with her father, but they kept giving excuses. I even tried using my mom, but she started giving excuses too. I didn’t understand why — our relationship wasn’t that strained. The only option left was the party. If I could get her a little weak for a few minutes, I could finally talk some sense into her… and maybe finally get my hands on that body. If anything went wrong, I could just pin the whole thing on crazy Janine. The plan felt solid. She tried to walk away, but I caught her arm. “Why do you have to be so hard-headed?

  • The Captain that was never mine   Janine POV

    Sebastian POV“…And I regret it. I thought maybe after they weren’t together anymore I’d finally stand a chance, but I guess I thought wrong. Now he completely avoids me like I’m some kind of virus. But that still doesn’t mean I should help you. I don’t care about you.”The more I listened, the stronger the instinct grew that they were talking about me and Shirley. I yanked the bathroom door open. Brad and Janine stood right outside. The second they saw me, Janine’s face went pale with nervousness, which only made my suspicion stronger “What do you mean by what you just said?” I asked, my eyes locked on Brad's. “Which relationship did you break?”He recovered fast from the shock and snapped back, “It’s none of your business, Hale. Our conversation has nothing to do with you. Ever heard of privacy?”“Privacy?” I let out a laugh. “You should have thought about that before talking about it in the middle of a public hallway. Now answer the question. What were you two talking about?”I k
