Juniper

“Juni I haven’t told you about the final member of the Daleton boys” she said sounding unsure about continuing. I could tell she seemed anxious talking about the Barrington guy and I started feeling a bit guilty making her do this.

“Is everything okay? You seem nervous” I said with concern laced in my voice.

“It’s just the person I want to talk to you about slightly scares me”

That’s weird. Nothing about that guy seemed scary to me, apart from the fact that he doesn’t seem like he smiles much and he’s such a drop dead gorgeous man. I don’t think I noticed a scary vibe from him.

“Grayson Miles Barrington” she whispered cautiously gesturing for me to lean in closer.

“That’s his name? Grayson?” I asked

“Yes. Grayson is the ring leader of their group and the one with the most power. He is also the richest kid in Daleton prep and rules the school with an iron fist”

“Wow, that’s a lot to take in” i answered trying to ease her anxiety.

“That’s not all Juni. Grayson has been in jail for murder” she stuttered with fear as my eyes widened in shock at the news.

He’s a murderer? but he’s so hot!

“That can’t be true.” I said refusing to believe it.

He didn’t seem like the type that would kill someone. Maybe it’s just a mindless rumor. Although they do not label murder on their faces so how am I so sure that he’s not one. I barely know the guy.

“Apparently he murdered the physics teacher last year” She added bringing me out of my thoughts.

“Are you really sure about this Jas? I mean if he’s a killer why is he still roaming around freely?” I asked curiously.

“I told you Juni. Grayson is powerful and his father is extremely wealthy and well known in America. I don’t really know how he got off the hook after killing someone but he did” Jasmine finished making me worry and really scared of Grayson.

“The case was closed and they let him go, not many people know about it. Just some of the school staffs and most of them were paid to keep their mouths shut” she said with a sigh.

“This is crazy Jasmine. I never thought that he’d..”

“I know, just promise me you’ll stay away from him. From all of them , they’re bad news juniper” Jasmine stated with slight fear in her eyes.

“I will, I promise.”

“Good”

The bell rang signaling the end of study hall.

“What class do you have next?” She asked

“I have gym, what about you?” I asked silently hoping we both have the same class again.

“I have AP lit” she said causing me to suck in a breath

“I guess we’ll meet at lunch?” I offered quite unsure.

She gave me a smile before rushing off to her next class. “Definitely”.

    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

  • The Daleton Boys    Chapter Fifty Eight

    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

  • The Daleton Boys    Chapter Fifty Five

    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
