When The Sky Falls Chapter 34: Hurt and Betrayal
"Are you guys having sex?” Lia asked under her breath, her tone caught somewhere between disbelief and curiosity.Ava’s eyes glinting with mischief as she leaned closer. “No,” she whispered back, pausing dramatically before adding with a teasing smirk, “I’m fucking him.”Lia’s eyes widened. “Wow… bad girl Ava,” she said, half-laughing, half-shocked, shaking her head in amusement.“Hey, Lia.” Chad was now standing beside Ava, his easy smile glowing in the flickering firelight. His shirt sleeves were rolled up, hands casually tucked into his pockets.“Hello, Chad,” Lia greeted, Her eyes flicked between him and Ava, catching the subtle chemistry that neither seemed to hide. “Well, don’t let me get in your way,” she added, grinning. “You should go and have fun.”Ava hesitated, giving Lia a once-over. “Will you be fine?” she asked, her voice softening with concern.“She’ll be perfect.”The voice came from behind, low and familiar. Lia felt a sudden warmth as Asher appeared, his hand restin

“Astrid!”Zayden’s voice echoed down the quiet hallway as he hurried after Trudy, his footsteps quick and heavy. She didn’t stop.“No, no,” she said, frustration thick in her tone. “I really don’t need this right now.”“Why are you avoiding me?” Zayden called out, catching up to her as she turned a corner. His expression was half-pleading, half-annoyed. “You won’t even respond to my texts.”Trudy spun around abruptly, her eyes sharp. “Maybe it’s because I don’t want to see you or talk to you?” Her words came out like darts, her expression making the message painfully clear.“So that’s it then?” Zayden stopped right in front of her, blocking her way. His brows drew together, voice low but tense. “You’re just going to pretend that nothing happened?”“I’m not pretending,” Trudy snapped, crossing her arms. “Zayden, nothing happened.”But even as she said it, they both knew that was a lie. The kiss they’d shared hadn’t been nothing, it had been charged, real, the kind of moment that linger

“Tyler, what do you think you are doing?” Ava’s voice cut sharply through the room as she stormed into Zayden’s bedroom without warning.The boys had game controllers in hand, the sound of gunfire and victory music echoing from the TV. Tyler looked up, startled, his expression confused.“What do you mean? I’m not doing anything,” he defended, dropping his controller onto the bed beside him.“Oh yeah?” Ava shot back, her arms crossed tightly over her chest, her tone filled with fire. “You sending that portrait is you doing everything!”Tyler blinked, realizing exactly what she meant.“Lia was finally doing fine after you hurt her,” Ava continued, her words sharp. “She gathered herself together, she moved on... and now you do this?”Tyler’s jaw tightened. “Look, I was meant to give it to her two months ago,” he said softly, avoiding her glare. “I couldn’t keep holding on to it. And besides…” he hesitated, glancing down, “I thought she would love it.”“Well, she does love it, okay?” Ava
When The Sky Falls Chapter 31: A Portrait Of Her
The air in the parking lot felt heavier than before, thick with the awkward silence that followed Ava’s outburst. Trudy’s cheeks burned as she stepped back, putting distance between herself and Zayden. “How long has this been going on?” Ava demanded, her voice sharp as she stepped forward. “There is nothing going on,” Trudy blurted, almost too quickly, her voice betraying her nerves. “Oh, so you guys just happened to bump into each other and started kissing?” Ava pressed, her brows furrowed in disbelief. “Ava, whatever is happening is none of your concern,” Zayden muttered, his tone low, almost dismissive. Trudy winced. “Trudy is my friend,” Ava shot back, her voice rising with anger. “And you know my friends are off-limits.” “Ava, it was just a kiss. Nothing is going to happen between us,” Trudy spoke softly, trying to ease the tension. “Uhm… why not?” Zayden frowned, caught off guard. Trudy turned to him, her voice unsteady, a flicker of hope betraying her otherwise
When The Sky Falls Chapter 30: Can I kiss you?
“Trudy, are you even listening to me?” Lia’s sharp voice cut through the silence of her room, snapping Trudy back to reality.Trudy blinked, startled, her cheeks still faintly flushed. “Yes, yes,” she rushed out, trying to shake the blush from her face. She tucked her phone quickly to the side, as if hiding a secret. “Sorry, what did you say?”Lia leaned closer, narrowing her eyes with suspicion. “Who got you blushing? Who are you chatting with?”“No one,” Trudy replied shook her head, her tone defensive.Lia raised a brow, clearly unconvinced. “Mm-hmm.”“I’m serious! It's nobody,” Trudy insisted, fumbling for an excuse. “It’s just my dad’s girlfriend… she’s planning dinner for all of us. I can only imagine the look on my mom’s face at the dinner.” She rolled her eyes dramatically, covering her tracks.“Alright then,” Lia said slowly, not entirely buying it but letting it go. She lifted two skirts, one in each hand. “I was saying… what color do you think I should go with?”“The black
When The Sky Falls Chapter 29: "Just A Dance"
“I can’t tutor him,” Lia complained, her voice tight with urgency as she sat across from Principal Gabriel.“Why is that?” Principal Gabriel asked, leaning forward in his chair. His tone was calm but firm, his posture shifting as though he could sense there was more beneath the surface.“Well…” Lia’s throat closed up. Words failed her. How could she explain? Tyler was supposed to have been the one, the constant, the person who would never hurt her. But he had. He had broken her in ways she still struggled to admit to herself. And now, the thought of sitting across from him every day after school, just the two of them, was suffocating. The air would feel too heavy, the silence too loud. She just couldn’t do it. But how could she make Principal Gabriel understand that without unraveling?“Ophelia,” the principal said gently but firmly, “if you don’t have a valid reason, I’m afraid you’re stuck with each other. Unless, of course, you’re no longer interested in the extracurricular tutorin
