By the time Nia finally let me breathe, I had already regretted telling her anything.

Not because I didn’t want her to know.

Because Nia didn’t know how to react normally.

“So,” she said, sitting across from me with a look that made me feel like I was being interviewed for a crime I had definitely committed. “You and Ethan have feelings for each other.”

I looked down at my drink.

“We said we’re taking things slowly.”

“That was not what I said.”

“It answers the question.”

“No, it avoids the ques

  • The apartment next door   Something different

    The first thing I noticed when I stepped outside the next morning was Ethan.The second thing I noticed was that he was already looking at me.He leaned against the wall beside his door with a cup of coffee in one hand, like standing there at exactly the same time I left my apartment was completely normal.I stopped.He smiled. “Morning.”I narrowed my eyes. “Why are you standing there?”His eyebrows lifted. “Outside my own apartment?”“You know what I mean.”“I really don’t.”“Ethan.”I adjusted the strap of my bag. “Were you waiting for me?”“No.”The answer came too quickly.I stared at him.He sighed. “Maybe.”A smile tried to escape, but I refused to give him the satisfaction.“That’s weird.”“You’re smiling.”“I’m not.”“You are.”I walked past him, and he followed me.“I have class.”“So do I.”“Your class is in the opposite direction.”He glanced ahead like the hallway had suddenly become fascinating.“I can take the long way.”I laughed before I could stop myself.“There,” he

  • The apartment next door   His side of the story

    Ethan stopped a few feet away from us. For one long second, nobody said anything. Mia stood beside me with her arms crossed, looking completely calm, which somehow made everything worse. Ethan looked at her first. Then at me. His expression changed. “What are you doing here?” Mia gave him a small smile. “Nice to see you too.” “I’m serious.” “I can tell.” His jaw tightened. I looked between them. Whatever tension existed between Ethan and Mia had always felt strange, but now it was impossible to ignore. Especially after what she had just told me. Ethan looked at me again. “How long have you been standing here?” “Long enough.” His eyes moved back to Mia. “Mia.” “What?” “What did you say?” She shrugged. “I told her I’m leaving next week.” “That’s not what I meant.” “I know.” Something passed between them. A warning. An entire conversation without words. I hated it. “Can you both stop doing that?” They looked at me. “This thing where you keep staring at each

Do you remember when you couldn’t stand him?”“I can still barely stand him.”“Liar.”I reached across the table for my phone.Nia slapped her hand over it before I could grab it.“You are not escaping.”“I’m not escaping. I’m checking the

  • The apartment next door   What happens now

    The next morning, I woke up thinking about Ethan.Which was irritating.Not because I didn’t want to think about him.That was the problem.I rolled onto my back and stared at the ceiling.His hand in mine.The way he had looked at me after I finally admitted I liked him.The stupid smile on his face.I pulled the blanket over my head.This was ridiculous.My phone buzzed beside me.I reached for it.Ethan: Are you awake?I stared at the message.Another one came in.Ethan: I can literally hear you moving around.I sat up.Me: That’s creepy.The reply came almost immediately.Ethan: Good morning to you too.I smiled before I could stop myself.Then another message appeared.Ethan: Come outside.I frowned.Me: Why?Ethan: Just come.I looked down at myself.Oversized shirt. Messy hair. Absolutely no dignity.Me: No.Three dots appeared.Ethan: Maya.I sighed.Apparently confessing feelings had given this man confidence.I got out of bed, fixed my hair with my fingers and opened the doo

  • The apartment next door   Bad timing

    For a moment, nobody said anything.Mia’s eyes moved from Ethan to me, then back to Ethan.I could still feel the warmth of his fingers against my cheek.Perfect.Of all the moments she could have appeared, it had to be this one.Ethan lowered his hand.“Mia.”She stopped in front of us.“I hope I’m not interrupting.”“No,” I said quickly.Ethan looked at me.I ignored him.Mia’s gaze dropped to the books in my arms before returning to my face.“I came to talk to Ethan.”My grip tightened around the books.“I was leaving anyway.”“Maya,” Ethan said.I looked at him.The moment between us snapped the second Mia stepped in.“I’ll see you later.”Then I walked away before either of them could stop me.I got to my apartment and slammed the door harder than I meant to.For a second, I just stood there staring at it.I came to talk to Ethan.Mia’s words followed me all the way home.I dropped my books on the table and picked up my phone, then put it back down.What were they even talking ab
