Grayson

“What do we have next?” Ivan asked playing FIFA on the new PlayStation 5 console we just bought.

“Gym, that’s what we have next” Archer answered sounding quite enthusiastic about it.

“Let’s just skip it, we have much more important stuff to deal with” I spoke out scrolling through my phone.

My friends and I were chilling in our special spot in school which we call the lounge. Ivan’s family owns the school so when he asked his family for a lounge just for us boys his parents agreed because he was also the star basketball athlete of Daleton prep.

“We can’t skip bro, nana’s gonna have our asses if she finds out we skipped another class and then the lounge would be taken away from us” Archer said with a look of horror on his face.

Arch was right about us not being able to skip classes anymore. Nana was Ivan’s grandmother and we all love and adore her. She’s a really fun person but when it comes down to business she gets really strict and we all take her threats very seriously because she doesn’t play around.

“I guess we’re going to gym class then” I groaned in annoyance as i watched archer do a weird happy dance.

“Guys, there’s a new transfer student in school” Ivan said pausing his game to focus on us.

“Who?” Archer asked curiously

“Her name’s Juniper Torres and she just transferred from Spain” he answered with a shrug.

Since Ivan practically owns Daleton prep news around the school never fails to pass us by.

“She was in homeroom today, i’m surprised you guys didn’t see her” he added with a chuckle.

“I wasn’t really paying much attention in class” Archer replied with a shrug as he put on his track suit.

Ivan turned to look at me with a raised eyebrow wanting to hear my excuse but I just rolled my eyes and laid back on the couch.

“The both of you are a handful. C’mon we’re late for gym” Ivan said with a smile dragging us out of the lounge with him as we all walked to the gym.

Juniper

I stepped into the gym in shorts and a pair of white sport bras with a light tank top on and on my feet were adidas trainers. I packed my thick curly hair in a tight updo bun at the top of my head as I joined the other students who sat on the wooden tile floors waiting for our gym teacher to arrive.

Everyone was seated with their friends while some were in groups chatting and laughing as they all waited. I felt a little bit out of place amongst them so I went to the farthest part of the gym and sat alone as I looked around.

The doors opened and three good looking guys walk inside side by side and almost immediately the atmosphere became charged with whispers and star struck murmurs. I couldn’t remove my eyes from them, it felt unreal seeing them up closer and they looked like any other kind of regular person so I wondered what was so dangerous about them.

    Juniper The hallway was nearly empty, the echo of slamming lockers and rushed footsteps fading as most students headed home. My own locker door creaked as I shoved my books inside, hands trembling too much to fit them neatly. My chest still felt raw, like my heart had been scraped open, and no amount of Jasmine’s soft words seemed to ease the sting. “Juni…” Jasmine said gently, her hand brushing my shoulder. “Grayson’s just… angry. He’ll come around, you know that.” I shook my head, biting my lip until it hurt. “You didn’t see his face, Jas. He looked at me like I betrayed him. Like I wasn’t—” My voice cracked, and I slammed my locker shut before I could completely fall apart. “Like I wasn’t his anymore.” Before Jasmine could respond, a sharp, cruel laugh cut through the hall. “Well, well,” Ciara’s voice drawled, every syllable dripping with venom. “Look who’s been knocked off her pedestal.” I froze, my spine stiffening as she sauntered up, arms folded, her perfect hair swaying

    Grayson The water was the only thing that made sense right now. Stroke after stroke, I cut through it like I could outswim the image of Juniper with Archer’s mouth on hers. But no matter how deep I dove, no matter how long I held my breath until my lungs burned, it was still there— branded in my skull, taunting me. Her lips. His hands. Her silence. I slammed into the pool wall harder than I meant to, the sting shooting up my arm, but I welcomed the pain. It kept me from drowning in the storm inside my head. “Jesus, Gray,” Ivan’s voice echoed across the empty pool hall. “Trying to kill yourself or what?” I ignored him, pushing off again, my body cutting through the water in another furious lap. The chlorine stung my eyes, but I didn’t care. By the time I finally surfaced, Ivan was crouched at the edge of the pool, his elbows on his knees, watching me with that calm, steady look he always had. The look that made you feel like he saw too much. “You’re gonna tear yourself apart

    Grayson The lounge was quieter than usual, a low hum of voices blending with the faint crackle of the fireplace. I was halfway through answering a text from my father when her perfume hit me — sharp, sweet, and suffocating. “Gray.” My jaw tightened before I even looked up. Ciara. She stood there like she owned the place, hair perfect, lips painted that same shade of red she used to wear when she wanted me distracted. I hadn’t seen her in weeks, not since I caught her tangled up with some other guy in the back of her car. “What do you want?” I asked flatly, already irritated. She tilted her head, fake innocence dripping off her voice. “Just checking in. You’ve been… busy. With her.” Juniper. She didn’t even have to say her name. The venom in her tone was enough. I slipped my phone into my pocket and stood, towering over her. “If you came here to run your mouth, don’t. I don’t have the patience.” But Ciara only smirked, stepping closer. “Funny, you look like a man who’s about t

    Juniper I slid into my seat in Literature, still trying to shake off the way Grayson had kissed me in the hallway like he was drowning. My lips still tingled, my chest still tight. I told myself to focus, to bury myself in the lesson. But fate, of course, had other plans. Because Archer sat two rows over — and right beside him, his twin sister Sophia. Sophia was effortlessly beautiful in that Daleton kind of way: sleek dark hair, piercing eyes, and a smirk that could slice through anyone. She was Archer in feminine form, which made her twice as dangerous. The moment I caught her glancing between me and her brother, my stomach sank. “Juniper,” Sophia sing-songed across the table once the teacher stepped out for a moment. “Tell me the truth. Are you and my dear brother secretly dating?” My pen froze mid-word. Heat rushed to my face as the class perked up, some heads turning. “What? No! Of course not,” I blurted, too quickly. Archer leaned back in his chair, that lazy grin stretch

    Juniper The library smelled of old paper and lemon polish, quiet except for the scratch of pens and the occasional shuffle of pages. Midterms had everyone buried in books, myself included. But no matter how hard I stared at the notes in front of me, the words blurred together. Because my mind wasn’t on history dates or formulas. It was on Archer. And Grayson. “Earth to Juniper,” Jasmine whispered, snapping her fingers in front of my face. Her braids swung as she tilted her head, giving me that look — the one that said she wasn’t fooled. “You’re not even here right now. Spill.” I groaned softly, dropping my pen. “I can’t, Jas. It’s… complicated.” Her brows lifted. “Complicated as in you’re caught between the two hottest Daleton boys and don’t know which one to choose? Yeah, sounds real complicated.” I shot her a look, but my cheeks burned anyway. “It’s not like that.” “Juniper,” she said firmly, leaning in. “They’re both circling you like wolves. Grayson with his dark, broodin

    Grayson The lounge was our spot. Leather couches, the faint hum of music from Ivan’s phone, and the lazy sprawl of bodies after practice. It was where we could be loud, stupid, and just… us. But not tonight. Not for me. Because every time I leaned back, closed my eyes, tried to unwind, her face was there. Juniper. Her soft voice at lunch, her trembling hand in mine, the way Archer couldn’t stop looking at her. “Man, you’re wound tight as hell,” Ivan said, tossing a football up in the air. “You’re gonna give yourself a heart attack before senior year’s even over.” I grunted, not in the mood. Archer smirked from his corner, stretched out like he owned the place. “Maybe he’s wound tight because of Juju.” My eyes snapped open. “What did you just call her?” He tilted his head, grin widening. “Juju. What? I’ve called her that since forever. She doesn’t mind.” My jaw clenched. “Her name’s Juniper.” “Yeah, your Juniper,” Archer said, sitting forward now, his tone dipping sharp. “But
