"Okay but Jace," Devon said, having descended safely from the bleachers at some point. "Real talk. She's cute, right? You gonna take her out?"

I put my phone back in my pocket.

"I'll pass," I said, looking away from the crowd to instead stare at my watch. 8:25. I wasn't interested in getting into any more romantic entanglements; juggling between Lena and Allison was already drama enough.

Someone handed Emma a cup and she took it, swallowing the whole thing in one go, blinking back tears.

    stood outside the gym doors, my application form clutched so tightly in my hands that the paper was starting to crumple at the edges.Through the small window, I could see them—the cheerleading squad in all their coordinated glory. They moved in perfect synchronization, their uniforms bright and crisp, ponytails bouncing as they executed flips and formations with practiced ease."Five, six, seven, eight!" Allison's voice rang out sharp and commanding. "From the top! And this time, Madison, actually point your toes. We're not doing modern dance here."The girls reset, panting slightly, then launched into the routine again. A series of backflips rippled across the front line. The flyers went up, held steady by their bases, arms locked in perfect Vs.They looked amazing. Professional. Untouchable.And I wanted to be one of them so badly it physically hurt.It felt almost trivial now, compared to everything else happening in my life—the debt, my mom's exhaustion, Jace's confusing hot-and-

    Chapter Fifty-Five"Alright, everyone, settle down." Mrs. Sinatra stood at the front of the classroom, tapping her copy of The Catcher in the Rye against her desk. "I hope you all remembered your analytical reports were due today. So let's see those papers."The familiar sound of rustling filled the room as students dug through backpacks and folders, a few of them groaning and whining as they did it.I pulled out my own report, the pages slightly crumpled from being shoved hastily into my bag this morning before getting in the car with Noah.It wasn't my best work, not even close.I'd written it at two in the morning, exhausted and distracted, my mind replaying the kitchen scene with Jace over and over until the words on the page blurred together.Tap tap tap.I straightened in my seat, trying to ignore the rhythmic tapping coming from directly behind me.Tap tap tap.My jaw clenched, and I knew exactly who it was without even having to look.Mrs. Sinatra walked up and down the aisles

    Homeroom was in Mr. Peterson's classroom, it was a bright, airy space with motivational posters covering the walls and rows of desks that had seen better days.I slipped into my usual seat near the middle, trying to make myself as small and invisible as possible.Noah had been swarmed the moment we entered the building.Students asking questions, introducing themselves and offering to show him around.He'd handled it all with that easy charm, but he'd caught my eye once and mouthed "sorry" before being pulled away by a group of curious juniors.Now he stood near the door, scanning the room. When he spotted me, he waved, his face lit up and he started making his way over."Is this seat taken?" he asked, gesturing to the empty desk beside mine.Before I could answer, a high-pitched whiny voice cut through the chatter, gossiping behind us."Oh my God, Allie, you need to stop defending him."I turned to see Allison sitting three rows back, surrounded by her usual entourage. Tracy was ru

    The BMW purred beautifully as Noah navigated the streets toward Westbrook. I barely knew anything about cars, but I knew this was a good one.In fact, good didn't even begin to describe it.The leather seats were buttery soft, the interior immaculate. Everything about it screamed wealth, from the polished wood trim to the subtle scent of expensive cologne that lingered in the air.It was so much better than walking the long distance or taking the bus every day.I sat in the passenger seat, my bag clutched on my lap, still processing what had happened in the kitchen."You okay, Lenny?" Noah asked, glancing over at me. His voice was gentle now, all traces of the earlier angry confrontation gone."Yeah. I'm fine.""Lena." He said my name in that way and I knew right away that he could see straight through the lie. "What happened back there...""We weren't fighting," I said quickly. "Jace and I. It wasn't like that. We were just having a disagreement over nothing, really. He wasn't a dan

    "What part of 'leave her alone' do you not understand?"Noah's voice cut sharply through the tension. He'd reached the bottom of the stairs now, and his expression seemed calm but his eyes were hard as steel as they locked straight onto Jace.Jace's entire body went rigid. "This is none of your fucking business, Noah.""Isn't it?" Noah moved closer, physically putting himself between Jace and me. "Because from where I'm standing, it looks like you're making her cry. So yeah, I'm making it my business.""You don't know what the fuck you're talking about...""I know enough." Noah's voice stayed level and controlled. "I know she asked you to stop and you kept pushing, anyone with eyes can see that she's clearly upset. And I know you need to back off."Jace's hands clenched into fists. "Don't do this, Noah. Don't fucking do this right now or I swear to fuck--""Do what? Protect someone who needs protecting?" Noah's calm was somehow more threatening than if he'd raised his voice. "Or are y

    “I couldn’t sleep,” I said defensively. “Also, why are you interrogating me? You don’t get to…”“Don’t I?” His voice was barely above a whisper now, but it carried an edge that made my breath catch. “You’re in my house, sleeping in the same bed as my cousin, whom I can’t fucking stand, and you expect me to just…”“We weren’t in the same bed,” I lied, hoping maybe that would persuade him to drop this. “There were separate sleeping arrangements, and everything was completely appropriate. Besides, this is my place of work, it would be incredibly unprofessional of me to do anything like that here, so you have no right to…”“Stop.” One of his hands came up to cup my face, his thumb brushing across my cheekbone. “Just… stop. I don’t want to argue with you.”The gentleness of the gesture was such a contrast, so different from the burning fury in his eyes that I didn’t know what to do or how exactly to react. This wasn’t platonic. Nothing about the way he was holding me, kissing me, looking

    Lena’s POVI woke up warm.Too warm.My eyes fluttered open slowly, adjusting to the pale pre-dawn light filtering through the curtains. For a moment, I couldn’t figure out why I felt so… secure. So wrapped up and comfortable.Then I realised.Noah’s arm was around my waist, holding me tight agains

    He had a point. A logical, reasonable point that made my panic feel silly and overdramatic and also a little childish."Okay," I heard myself say. "Okay, fine."Which is how I ended up lying in bed, stiff as a board, hyperaware of every inch of space between us.Noah had kept his promise, staying o

    What was I thinking?The question looped through my mind as Noah's hand closed around mine, warm and confident, leading me toward the stairs.I'd just invited a complete stranger, a stranger Jace clearly despised, to share my room for the night.A stranger who'd been in this house for all of twenty

    Jace stepped forward right then, his eyes looking appreciatively at Lena. He winced when he noticed the bruise on her cheek from where Allison had backhanded her. Clearly, she was not okay.He'd been looking forward to an opportunity to talk to Lena after what happened in the media room, to smootht
