*Cade's POV*Walking into school this morning I find myself searching around for Monroe. I don’t see her in the halls and when the warning bell rings, Xander and I head for the Chemistry classroom. When we get there I find her already seated at her table, she’s laughing at something her friend says and her smile makes my heart skip a beat. Fuck, I’ve barely even spoken to the girl. How is she affecting me like this? I tear my eyes from here and convince myself it’s just because she’s new here. Everyone is fascinated by shiny new things aren’t they? That must be it. I’ll hook up with her once and the novelty will wear off.The rest of the day passes relatively uneventfully and, more than once, I find my eyes wandering over to her. She, once again, kicks our asses at volleyba

*Monroe's POV*Once both teams are filled, we get in position, and I make sure to spread out our weaker players. Since I picked first, Parker’s team served first. It goes straight to Cade, who bumps it to Xander. He volleys it and calls out my name so I run up from the back middle and spike it straight into a clear gap. As I walk past Xander he holds his fist out and says, “Nice spike.” I fist bump him and reply, “Nice volley.” As I turn back to the front, I just barely catch the glare Cade sends Xander and Xander’s shrug in return. What’s that about? I decide to ignore it and focus on winning. The teams are much more evenly matched this time so we had to work a lot harder for the win, but in the end we still came out on top. When we score the final point Everyone yells ou

*Monroe's POV*Friday passes by slower than I would like and by the time I’m seated in philosophy, I am not in the mood to deal with Cade. If he’s expecting me to just fall at his feet and beg him to fuck me every time he gives me a little bit of attention he’s going to be thoroughly disappointed. But at the same time, I can’t deny that I’m attracted to him. I mean, you would have to be blind to not see how good looking he is and I am only human.When he walks in, the teacher is right behind him so when he sits down, we have no time to talk. Or should I say, no time to say one word and then awkwardly stare at each other. I can’t help but wonder if this is intentional on his part.After we win at volleyball again, Coach announces that next week is football. Shit. I mean, I’m

*Monroe's POV*A few hours, some more drinks, and 2 pizzas later, we decide to start getting ready. We decide on outfits first. Maddy tried on every single thing she brought and some of my clothes and then spent ages making me and Charlie her personal barbies until we all agreed on our final outfit choices.Maddy decided that she loved my tattoos and wanted to show as many of them as possible so I ended up in a very short high waisted  black leather skirt and a fitted dark blue lacy crop top with multiple straps that criss-cross at the back. I had to admit, I did look pretty good.Charlie ended up in an fitted emerald green off the shoulder shirt that brought out the reddish tone in her hair and a pair of black skinny jeans. When she first started trying on clothes, we were both a bit shocked. and I couldn’t help but agree when Maddy said, “Damn girl, where have you been hiding this hot body?! You gotta dress up more often!”Maddy f

*Monroe's POV*He grins at me again and then leads us past the pool to a spot on the grass where a bunch of lawn chairs sit in a circle. My eyes are somehow instantly drawn to Cade. He is already watching me and the look in his eyes sends an involuntary shiver down my spine. It should be illegal to look that good in a black t-shirt. I tear my eyes away and take a seat beside Xander and Charlie and Maddy take the two seats to my left. I look around the circle. The only people I recognize are Xander, Cade and the two called Jason and Brett from PE. There are 3 girls and 2 guys that I don’t know also in the circle. Xander claps and asks, “Does everyone have a full drink?” Everyone nods and he says, “Perfect! We’re about to play a game called ‘Never Have I Ever.’ The rule
