~Beatrix Pov~

I have a dream, you see. One where I can be someone different. As much as I hated those boring books, they were what every girl secretly wanted. So when I dream, I'm usually not who I am — I'm someone who can be loved. Held with love.

I felt the book I'd been using to cover my face start to slip off.

"What are you dreaming about, with that smile?" Cruz's voice.

I opened my eyes slowly. He'd sat down right next to me.

The moment he found out I'd been hiding in the library

  • The Dare For The Curvy Girl   Chapter Fourty - Four

    ~Beatrix POV~ Thirty minutes. That was how long we had before the gates opened, and our booth looked like a storage closet with everything thrown around. Boxes sat unopened. The poster boards were still wrapped in plastic. Half the banners I'd made lay in a pile on the floor, and somehow, the other half were already creased. We hadn't gotten very far yesterday. In fact, almost nothing had been done. Bryan hadn't shown up, which meant Cruz left shortly after arriving. Justin didn't even bother giving a reason before leaving with Cruz. Kai, after surprisingly asking me out, apologised and said he had practice before leaving. Which, well, kept me up last night. And now I couldn't get anything done. I knew this wouldn't add anything to our grades. Maybe that was why they were so uninterested. Hell, even I wasn't particularly interested. But the teacher had assigned us this task, and we still had to get it done. To my surprise, Bryan, who I knew wouldn't take any task lightly

  • The Dare For The Curvy Girl   Chapter Fourty - Three

    ~Beatrix Pov~ "How are midterms going?" Josh asked, as we sorted books back onto their shelves. The library had been packed all week. Nothing makes a university more studious than a deadline, and I'd never seen so many people pretending to read. "Fine." I slid a book into place and let my eyes linger on the spine. A sigh escaped me. "What?" "I'm being bullied," I said, turning to him. His face fell into a frown. "By who? I knew those boys were trouble." He shoved the books in his hand onto a shelf, all at once. "It's not them," I said. His eyes narrowed as he looked me over. "Then who?" I didn't want to tell him. The last time this happened, he'd been so angry that I stopped telling anyone, and I'd carried the blame for his temper along with everything else. "Julia," I said, and let out a slow breath. I watched his face go from worried to puzzled. "Julia?" I nodded. "Are you sure?" The silence that followed was sudden. I could feel people moving around the

  • The Dare For The Curvy Girl   Chapter Fourty -Two

    ~Beatrix Pov~ The midterms were almost over, but the tension between us wasn't. If anything, it had gotten worse. Justin had stopped coming. Don't ask me why, because I didn't know. That meant Julia had stopped coming too. Penelope and Lily seemed to be enjoying the sessions with Cruz, while Kai barely spoke unless it had something to do with midterms. Neither did I. "That's all for today," I said, dropping my marker. It was our last day of sessions, and the girls clearly wanted to enjoy it because they'd barely paid attention. "I'd better get going," I murmured, packing up my things. "You're leaving already?" Cruz grumbled. Everyone's eyes turned towards me. "Yes. I have to file some student records." "Okay." I didn't give him a chance to say anything else. I was already out the door. I needed to drop some records at the student council office, and the moment I walked in, I wished I hadn't. "Hi," Julia said, looking me up and down. She didn't bother hiding wha

  • The Dare For The Curvy Girl   Chapter Fourty - One

    ~Beatrix POV~ When you have expectations, you set yourself up for disappointment. As long as I had none about the way they treated me, I wouldn't feel disappointed or sad. That was what I'd been telling myself. Since movie night, the squad—all five of us—had barely spoken to one another. The tension was impossible to ignore. Cruz's schedule for the midterm study sessions was the only thing keeping us in the same room. Nobody spoke to anyone during class. I hadn't expected things to go back to normal overnight, but I hadn't expected them to become this awkward either. Even Cruz hadn't come over to talk to me. I'd gotten used to something I shouldn't have. And I had other things to worry about. The Angel of Haneul didn't like me. Then again, nobody actually liked me. But this was something I knew would make my life at Haneul much harder. Rin, Lily, Penelope, and I stood outside the study room. I took a deep breath before pushing the door open. Let's just pretend everythi

  • The Dare For The Curvy Girl   Chapter Fourty

    ~Cruz Pov~ Either he didn't remember, or he was pretending not to. That was what I thought as my eyes followed Bryan around the classroom. Nothing the lecturer said stuck in my head. I couldn't concentrate on a single thing. Every now and then, I caught Bryan glancing in my direction. Was he seriously going to pretend nothing had happened? I should sue him for sexual assault. My gaze dropped to my notebook, and I frowned. I'd written Bryan's name across the page and crossed it out so many times that the paper was almost torn. He was really getting on my nerves. The bell rang, signalling the end of the lecture. I was just about to approach him when he quickly walked over to Justin instead. Seriously? "What's with you?" Kai asked, standing beside me. "Why are you frozen?" He nudged my shoulder before walking towards where Bryan and Justin were sitting. I picked up my bag and headed in the opposite direction. "Where are you going, Cruz?" I heard Kai call after

  • The Dare For The Curvy Girl   Chapter Thirty - Nine

    ~Cruz POV~ *Six months at Hanuel* It was pretty much the same as high school. Get laid, get drunk, hang out with friends, party. Nothing ever really caught my interest. And a school like this was even more boring since I couldn't go out whenever I wanted. But then there was Bryan. The nerd The complete opposite of me. It had been six months since Kai and I started at Haneul, and it was no surprise we ended up in the same room. Our parents had probably made sure of that. We arrived a week after the semester began, and there was already a nerd named Bryan and a golden boy named Justin waiting for us. It was almost inevitable that we'd end up as some kind of friend group. What I didn't understand was why the nerd seemed to talk to everyone except me. Maybe it was because we had completely different personalities. Or maybe he just didn't like me. Whatever. There was something else that had been bugging me, though. Bryan barely showed any emotion. The guy could sit throu
