CHAPTER EIGHTY-ONE

BLAKE’S POVThere was something wrong.The way she moved. The way she spoke. Even the way she looked! But most importantly, the way she held the clay.Clara was angry, everyone could tell that, but what was surprising was how she held the clay in her hands that she was using to demonstrate how to burnish after molding. The sides of the almost hardened clay were beginning to crack from the pressure her palms exerted on them. All of us were deathly quiet probably to know if we could hear the bowl crack, but mostly so our heads wouldn’t be next in line.“I am going to need you guys to come together again and make something that would be worthy to be in our local museum. I’m not going to tell you what to make, you’re going to have to come up with it. This time around you’ll have a longer time period to get on with it because I want your pieces to go through the whole process. If you cannot paint by now, I suggest you learn how.” She glared at me when she said that last part and for the fi

CHAPTER EIGHTY-TWO

BLAKE’S POV“You have got to be kidding me!” Tony spat. “I leave you alone for one second and you are already out there, frolicking with all the girls at NCH.”“Okay, now that’s a bit of an exaggeration, don’t you think?” He did not like my choice of words. I was used to seeing Tony mad – I made him so for a really long time – but seeing him downright furious was something I was not used to. His eyes were bulging out of his sockets and his face was so red, I figured water would sizzle if I poured it on him.“Sweetie…”“Don’t ‘sweetie’ me you philandering piece of shit!”We were both taken aback by his outburst, him more than me though, but he managed to maintain his air of anger and fury at my actions. I realized all too soon that being all coy and cheeky will not get me out of this one.“Tony, I was wrong, okay? It’s my fault that you’re angry and I shouldn’t have done what I did.” He scoffed and rolled his eyes.“You were supposed to be brainstorming your project with Anderson

CHAPTER EIGHTY-THREE

ANTHONY’S POV“Did you know Blake had a new girlfriend?”I choked on my saliva as soon as the words left Anderson’s mouth. With my eyes wide and my hand stuck midair as I was pulling out my textbook, I stared at him.“What? Where did you hear that from?”“Him.”“Him? As in, Blake himself?” Anderson nodded and inched closer to me. I didn’t notice it at first because of the initial shock of the information he presented me with, but he looked a little frantic. Almost livid.“Did you know about it? I thought he broke up with your sister? Are they secretly dating? Is that the new girlfriend he was referring to?”“Well, if he’s secretly dating my sister, then there’s no way I’d know about it since it’s a secret and they’re obviously doing a good job about hiding it. But if he said that he had a new girlfriend…” I trailed off here because I no idea what to say about that. I was still trying to wrap my head around the reason behind Blake’s sudden confession when he appeared behind Anderson, a

CHAPTER EIGHTY-FOUR

BLAKE’S POVHis glare was starting to scare me.“Hey, I got us tickets to go see that snow fight on Friday.” I had to pry my eyes away from my scowling boyfriend to focus on Claire. She was sitting next to me today in the cafeteria, which was not weird but unusual since she sat next to Luke most of the time in order for her to tease him without any constraints. Today, however, Tony was the one who sat next to Luke which was an oddly satisfying but weird pairing. Dante hadn’t joined us yet. He was still trying to get some girl’s contact over by the tap.“You’re paying to watch people fight with snow?” Luke asked through a mouthful of lasagna. “Let’s go to the parking lot and I’ll bury you in it for free.”Usually, she’d respond with something snarky that would make him go mute for a long time, but today, she just pretended like he hadn’t even spoken. I don’t know if Luke noticed this or not, but he didn’t seem the least bothered by her silent treatment.“Hey, sweetie, you okay?” I coul

CHAPTER EIGHTY-FIVE

ANTHONY’S POV Nothing in my life has ever felt more awkward than thins!I never imagined that one day I’d be sitting in the front seat of Luke’s Civic, the ear-bleeding lyrics and beats of Drake emanating at an ungodly volume through the speakers which was only put on in the first place because of how uncomfortable the silence was, while I tapped my fingers against my thigh and produced an incredulous amount of sweat considering the season we were in.This was a bad idea. It wasn’t wise of me to accept Claire’s suggestion of Luke and I hanging out. I wasn’t trying to be mean or offensive when I said the only thing we had in common was our friends. I could tell he was nervous and uncomfortable too despite his earlier act and insistence of me going over to his place.His house was a pretty two-story structure with a garden path and a picket fence. It was somewhat surprising to see that Luke Evans grew up in such a homely-looking place. His character from the early years I knew him made

CHAPTER EIGHTY-SIX

ANTHONY'S POVListening to him talk about his childhood kinda put into perspective why he was such a jerk and an asshole. But, just because a few people bullied him and taunted him for his parents’ choice in a partner didn’t give him the right to transfer his aggression to us. I felt bad for him, I know how cruel kids can be, but that didn’t mean I could accept his behavior.“I messed up, big time. My dads have tried ever since we moved here to spend more time with me, but I’ve been too mad at them and myself to do it. I really care about them. I love them so much, but I hated myself more so I couldn’t give them the chance to get close to me. I hardly invited Blake and Dante over just in case they’d run into them. I had just moved and it was really hard for me to fit in cause I was a recluse and people didn’t like recluse. But Blake, he made everything easier. He introduced me to Dante as his friend and I thought how that had never happened to me before. Then Blake found out that they

CHAPTER EIGHTY-SEVEN

BLAKE’S POV“Why do you look so startled?” I asked as I pushed passed Luke and Tony to get in. “Didn’t Luke tell you that I’d be coming over?”Tony looked at Luke with his eyes wide as if trying to pass on a message.“I thought you were going to hang out with Claire?” Luke asked as he rushed back into the living room. I made to follow suit, but my boyfriend used his absence as an opportunity to plant a kiss on my lips.“Did you miss me?” I kissed him before he had the chance to respond. A moan escaped from his lips and I deepened our kiss.“Ugh! Gross. Can you guys not make out in front of me?”“You guys were about to play a game. Nice.” My eyes scanned the snacks on the table. There was no sign of Luke’s signature baked dough anywhere. Good. I would hate for Tony to get high when I’m not there.“Why aren’t you with Clare right now?”“Sweetie, you sound like you don’t want me here.” I leaned forward towards him. “The way you kissed me earlier though tells me otherwise.” He turned red

CHAPTER EIGHTY-EIGHT

BLAKE’S POV“Please don’t tell me you guys are doing some kinky ass shit on my bed and it went horribly wrong.”“Luke, I’d really appreciate it if you don’t talk through the door right now,” I said as I inspected my boyfriend’s dick for any signs of damage. I couldn’t feel anything on my teeth, thankfully. It was just a graze.“I am so sorry about that Tony.”“Is it alright?” Tony asked. His face had gotten so red and he was shaking a little.“It’s as good as new, my love. Everything’s fine.” I dropped a kiss on him to prove my point and he sagged back down on the bed in relief.“Wanna tell me what the whole question thing concerning you and Claire was about?”“It’s just…I think Claire’s really pretty.” I raised my brow at him amused.“You do?” He nodded and sighed wistfully.“I mean, I don’t usually see girls as pretty. I know they are, but it’s hard for me to see pretty girls and know instantly that they are pretty. But with Claire, I noticed it right away, even though I didn’t want

CHAPTER EIGHTY-NINE

BLAKE’S POV“What?” I’ve never been that confused in my life. “What do you mean by that?”Tony sighed.“What do you think I mean by that?”“It sounds to me like you’re insinuating that Claire likes me, as more than a friend.”He nodded. That was the most ridiculous thing I had ever heard in my entire life. Claire liked me? How the hell did he even come to that conclusion?“Tony, I can assure you that that’s not true. Claire’s a lesbian. Last time I checked, I was fully male.”He chuckled and pointed at me feely. “That’s the same thing I said when I heard it too.”“Heard it from who?” He ignored my question and went on to say, “Did you know that Claire dated Chris Hampton after the whole catfish fiasco? She never told me that. I thought we were friends but she never told me that. What was the point?” He muttered something else but I didn’t quite hear it. I could see that Tony was one of those people who became delusional when high and conjured up absurd scenarios.“Sweetie, Claire’s no

CHAPTER NINETY

ANTHONY’S POV“What?”I had never seen Blake look so frightened in my life. I could feel the onset of tears building up in my eyes and my heart ached as the weight of the words I spoke earlier settled on me. I won’t lie, I was terrified shitless. As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I wished I could take them back. I didn’t mean it. Hell, if he decided to go on with what he said he wanted to do, I’d be the one to beg him to stay with me. But there was something called pride, and when you have been hurt like I was by the words he spoke, it didn’t matter that I responded in retaliation with vile words. Once those words were out there, there was no taking it back.That’s why, when he looked at me like his world was crumbling before him and I was the author of that destruction, and he asked me with a shaky voice what I had just said, because of the pride in me, and one’s inability to take back the words once they had been uttered, I swallowed the bile that had risen to my throat and
