LOGINCHAPTER 110 : A NIGHT WITH MY CRUSH CHARLOTTE’S POV What the heck, Is this a dream? Am I dreaming?Because there is absolutely no logical explanation for me standing here, snow crunching under my boots, staring at Austin Reyes, while someone just announced we’re sharing a cabin.If this is a dream, I don’t want to wake up.Not ever.Like, someone cancel morning forever.I blinked once then twice. Then looked around like maybe someone would jump out and say “April Fool’s.”Nothing.Austin was still standing in front of me, waiting patiently for my response Oh no. Say something normal.Say something cool.Say something that doesn’t scream my brain has left the chat.“Sure thing, dude,” I said.The moment I said it, my soul physically left my body, looked at me, and walked away disappointed.Dude?Dude??Austin blinked slowly.“…Dude?” he repeated.I coughed. “I mean like—yeah. Cool. Let's share a cabin together”He smiled slightly. That soft smile again. The one that made my brain gl
CHAPTER 109: PARTNERSHIP FROM HELL CHARLOTTE'S POV I walked out of the cafeteria so fast I probably looked like someone fleeing a crime scene. My food tray? Abandoned. My appetite? Dead. Officially pronounced missing.The moment I reached the hallway, the embarrassment and jealousy hit me at the same time, like a double slap from life itself.No. No way. No actual way Austin was going to ask Nai, could he?I shoved open the bathroom door, went straight to the sink, and gripped the counter like it was the only thing keeping me from collapsing into a puddle of emotional stupidity.“Okay. Breathe,” I whispered to myself.Did I breathe?No.I choked on air like a malfunctioning vacuum cleaner.Why didn’t I say yes?Why did I say I wasn’t going?He asked me. He freaking asked me.And I just threw the opportunity away because my brain was too busy pretending I didn’t care.I squeezed my eyes shut.Okay. Step one: fix this.Step two: pretend this wasn’t because of Austin.Step three: absolu
CHAPTER 108: JEALOUS MAXCHARLOTTE’S POV It was weird how fast things could become… normal.Like somehow, after all the chaos, Austin and I had settled into something dangerously close to friendship.Keyword: dangerously.We sat together in class now.Not because of some dramatic agreement or life-changing talk.No.It just… happened.One day the teacher changed seating arrangements and suddenly there he was, dropping his bag beside my desk like it had always belonged there.And I didn’t stop him.That was the problem.“Stop staring at me,” Austin muttered without looking up from his notebook.“I’m not staring at you,” I said immediately, way too fast.He raised a brow slightly. “You’ve looked at me three times in the last ten seconds.”“I have a lazy eye,” I lied.“Both eyes are working perfectly fine, Charlotte.”I frowned and turned forward aggressively.Fine.Maybe I was looking.Not because I liked him obviously not.Just… observing.For science.Yeah.That sounded better in my
CHAPTER 107: I FORGIVE YOU CHARLOTTE’S POV “Talk about what?” I replied quickly.And by “quickly,” I mean I typed so fast my thumb almost dislocated.Austin didn’t reply. I stared at the message for a full minute before tossing my phone across the room again because apparently that’s my new coping mechanism.I barely slept.Between Maya snoring like a baby goat and my brain replaying every embarrassing second of last night, my soul left my body at least twice.So the next morning at school, I was a walking zombie with lip gloss.The moment I stepped onto the hallway, someone called my name.“Charlotte— wait!”Oh great!My day was already ruined.Austin jogged up to me, looking like a stressed puppy.Hair messy, eyes tired. He stopped in front of me, hands on his knees, breathing dramatically.“I… was… calling… you.”“That sounds like a you problem,” I said sweetly, continuing down the hall.He walked beside me, still panting.“You blocked me.”“I did not block you,” I scoffed.Which
CHAPTER 106 : I'M OVER HIM CHARLOTTE’S POV I walked to my window and pulled the curtains open, pretending to admire the view like some deep, wise philosopher who had finally figured out life.Newsflash: I had not.Behind me, Maya was sprawled on my bed, watching a chaotic episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians on her phone, eating plantain chips like she owned the place.“We’ve already talked about this,” I announced loudly, mostly for myself. “I’ve cleared things with Austin. I don’t like him. He doesn’t like me. We don’t like each other. In fact—” I flipped my hair dramatically. “I never liked him at all.”Maya didn’t even look up.Just paused her video and said, “Uh-huh. Sure. Totally believable.”I glared at her and she smirked.I turned back to the window because arguing with Maya was a waste of oxygen.Nope. Not thinking about him.Not thinking about last night.Not thinking about how stupid I felt or how he said ‘I didn’t know you still liked me’ like I was a relic from t
CHAPTER 105 : WHY ALWAYS ME CHARLOTTE’S POV So that’s what this was all about. The performance, the Nail conversation, everything ohhhhh my goshhh I feel so so stupid.I stepped back slightly from the crowd, my grip tightening around the cup in my hand. The music was still playing, the audience still cheering, but it all sounded far away now, like I was underwater watching everyone else live normally without me.Austin was still on stage, smiling like everything was perfect and Nia was beside him like she belonged there.Of course she was.Of course I wasn’t part of whatever moment this was supposed to be.My chest felt tight, heavier with every second I stayed.I should’ve known better.I really should’ve.“Charlotte?” Maya’s voice cut through my thoughts.I didn’t look at her.She stepped closer anyway, immediately picking up on my mood. “Okay… what happened?”“Nothing,” I said quickly.Maya narrowed her eyes. “That’s a lie.”“I said I don’t want to talk about it.”That shut her
Chapter 5 : kissing my girlfriend In front of my boyfriend Charlotte's POV I honestly didn't know I could breathe that fast. I wanted to say something cool and casual, but words refused to come out of my mouth.“You're Max's girlfriend right? I see your Instagram posts everytime. Hi, I'm Sophie”
Chapter 4 Charlotte's POV: My online girlfriend She didn’t see me or maybe she did and didn’t recognize me because why would she?I could breathe normally again or sort of. I always thought transfer students were supposed to look confused or maybe holding a map upside down.But the girl walking t
Chapter 3 : knock knock trouble Charlotte's POV Out of all the schools in the world to go to , why did it have to be mine? I started pacing in my room, debating on what exactly I should tell her .“Ohhh, I've heard of that school before. It's a very boring place and nothing exciting happens there
Chapter 2: Am I really into girls?Charlotte's POV I walked out of the class trying to breathe normally.Max had just kissed my forehead and told me to meet him outside later and all I could think was: Thank God he didn't suspect anything. Yes, he did look at my phone for a solid three minutes bu
