Elian’s pov

last update Last Updated: 2025-07-19 01:47:11

I decided to take some time for myself and clear my head after a heated argument with Mom earlier today. She’s convinced that living with Kaelin is a terrible mistake, and I’m tired of hearing it.

I’ve also been reflecting on how Kae took my new friendship with that girl way too personally. I know he was talking about her, but I chose to play dumb and act like I didn’t notice.

With Dad’s second anniversary approaching in just a few days, I felt a wave of sadness wash over me. Lost in thought, I wasn’t paying attention to the road and almost hit a man crossing it.

I slammed on the brakes and jumped out of the car, adjusting my hoodie to cover half my face. I’ve had my share of awkward encounters, like the girl who recognized me from Instagram and gushed about how much she loved my videos and Kae, squeezing me in a hug that made me want to disappear. It’s moments like that which pushed me to stay low-key in public.

I helped the man gather his fallen groceries, noticing he’d been on his

    It’s my fault, Kae… Dad died because of me. “He said painfully and seriously I'm exhausted from trying to convince El over the years that his dad's death wasn't his fault but he's hearing none of it. I made Dad stop the car for a fuckin’ ice cream Kae. "He said it again,"his eyes glazing over, and I let out a quiet sigh. I knew what was coming—I'd be hearing the whole story once more.I had learned not to interrupt him during these moments; venting is what he needs to feel better. Still, this must be the millionth time I’ve listened to it, and each time, he gets emotional. It’s tough for me to watch him tear up since I’m not exactly great at providing comfort. But I can handle it—I’m just not one for mushy moments.Dad stopped the car so I could get my ice cream. He waited for me outside, and even though it was dark, his headlights illuminated the area.As I stood in the ice cream store across the road, I noticed him approaching the car, clearly visible in the light from Dad's headli

    I stood behind Kaelin, resting my arms on his chair. He offered me his thigh, but I turned it down cause I can't picture myself on his lap with the new girl around. Then he even offered me his chair, but I told him not to stress about it since he always goes out of his way for me and I secretly appreciate that. So, I just stayed behind him.After a bit, the newbie surprised me by asking if I wanted to sit in her chair, and I agreed. They’re really having a hard time, aren’t they? Kaelin said, and I had to nod, especially after glancing at the other two. Lloyd was acting like he was above it all, but I caught him sneaking looks at Kae. I didn’t say anything, though.“Aren’t you going to help them out?” Kaelin asked, and I just chuckled. Ronald made a joke about me having a knack for all subjects, and I could tell he was just messing with me.Sure, I was the top student at my old school, but honestly, I hardly study and tend to doze off in class, so no one would actually believe I was

    For some reason, Kaelin was always a step ahead of us while Elian lingered behind, but it was clear there was no tension between them. Kaelin kept stealing glances back at Elian, his concern palpable. As we filed into the class, Kaelin was ahead so he naturally grabbed the first seat, followed by Ronald, and then Lloyd. I wasn’t going to be left out, so I took the last chair. Elian stood there, his eyes wide with disbelief. In a moment of playful camaraderie, I would have loved to stick my tongue out at him and tease him but we aren't friends sadly. “You should try to be smarter,” Kaelin joked. Elian shot him a middle finger in response, but then he moved to stand behind Kaelin, resting his arms on the back of the chair as they chatted away. Ronald and I set ourselves a little distance away, busying ourselves with the papers in front of us. Kaelin’s voice broke through the quiet, “Sit on my thighs.” I turned to look at them, surprised. “No, I'm good,” Elian insisted, his determ

    Today marked the day of our physics pair project, a moment I approached with a mix of anxiety and anticipation. The uncertainty of who I'd end up partnered with loomed over me. It could be a blessing or a burden—sometimes you find yourself assigned to someone completely disinterested in the subject, or worse, partnered with someone who struggles to grasp the material. Those scenarios can make collaboration quite challenging.As the clock ticked closer to the start of class, Mr. Cartwright burst through the classroom door with an energy that immediately captured everyone's attention. He began organizing groups with remarkable efficiency, his voice cutting through the murmur of excited chatter. I could sense the collective anticipation radiating from my classmates, a current of nervous energy threading through the air.When he finally approached our table, I felt a surge of happiness when he paired me with Elian and Kaelin, Ronald and, lastly, a tall, strikingly handsome blonde guy name

    I’m on the phone with Elian right now, and we’re in the middle of yet another argument about something we've gone round and round over. He doesn’t seem to take anything seriously. He’s now living with the very person I specifically told him to avoid.Kaelin may be my late husband's best friend's son, but I have never approved of him as Elian's friend. It's painfully obvious that he’s a bad influence, and I won't stand idly by while he impacts my son’s life in a negative way.Now he’s moved in with him? Elian keeps whining about how he’s not a kid anymore and thinks that he can make his own decisions. He needs to understand that I have every right to be concerned about his choices!I was in the middle of my point when he abruptly ended the call. I sat alone in the living room, fuming, but felt a wave of relief wash over me when I heard Celia's voice. She’s a close confidante and brings a refreshing, straightforward perspective.After rummaging through her purse, she pulled out a handke
