1: Psyche

Is one quiet night really too much to ask? I clasped my hands on my ears as the sounds of moans and groans from the other room was piercing through the walls of my bedroom. This is what I get for agreeing to living in the same house with one of the biggest players in campus, just so I could pay cheap rent.I laid down in bed, defeated. I couldn't even get through one sentence with all of the commotion from the other room. What the heck is he even doing to these women to make them scream all night? Is he really that good in bed? I heard the front door closed, so I took it as a signal that whoever was screaming the whole night was out of the house. I went out of my room, humming to a tune that has been stuck in my mind since this morning, and went straight to the kitchen. "Late night?" I jumped up in shock as a deep manly voice greeted me when I entered the kitchen. He stood there smiling at me, leaning on the kitchen counter, a tall glass in hand, only wearing his boxers that didn

“Can’t believe that hunk of junk still works.” I heard Sebastian say as soon as I got out of the car. “Stop calling it that, Seb. It might really die on me and I can’t afford to buy a new car right now.” “You could always ask your dad to buy you a new one, babe. I know you have your issues with your stepmom, but can't you just let it pass? Don't get me wrong, babe. All I'm saying is that you're in your second year of college, we have lots of things to worry about, so maybe you should lessen your burdens by making up with your dad?” I can't help but roll my eyes at my boyfriend as we both made our way out of the parking lot.“You know what I'm going to say, Seb. We've been over this. And besides, I can get by. I still have my trust fund. And stop calling her my stepmom. Scarlet is nothing more but a manipulative oppurtunist who took the chance to woo a man still grieving the lost of his wife."“But still…” I already knew where this conversation is going so I cut him off.“I don’t wan

“Tanner!” I almost choked on my own saliva as Charlotte yelled in the middle of the cafeteria. And just like that, all eyes gravitated to us. And that was the last thing I wanted. While both Sebastian and Charlotte love the limelight, I was never comfortable with the attention.“Grey? How can I help you?” Of course, he knows her. Why am I even surprised?My eyes met his and a playful smirk appeared on his lips at the sight of me squirming behind my best friend. And I almost forgot that this jerk also loves being the center of attention, especially when it comes to girls. I couldn't stop my eyes from rolling at him and just averted my gaze.“Just one thing.”And silence filled the whole cafeteria as Charlotte’s palm smacked the smile out of Eros’ face. Everyone was staring at them. Students, staff, and even professors stopped everything they were doing and watched like it was a new show on a streaming app. “That’s for my friend. And this one is for all the other girls you have messed

“So, you're friends with Charlotte Gray, and dating Sebastian Fabian?"I was leaning on the kitchen counter as I ate my apple, scrolling through social media as Eros walked into the kitchen with his duffle bag still hanging on his shoulder.“Thanks for taking the hint and not saying anything about our set-up.” I said, taking another bite before looking at him. His hair was wet and tousled, perfectly framing his chiseled face, and the feeling from earlier in the parking lot resurfaced again. He dropped his bag on the counter and made his way towards the fridge."I'm guessing both of them don't know where you're staying?" He said. He took out the orange juice and drank straight from the pitcher. "Nope. And I want it to stay that way.""Why?" I was hoping he would just shrug off what happened today, but I was out of luck. "Well, I love Char, but I don't want her to have any ideas, and Sebastian, obviously, he wouldn't agree with me living with a guy.""Then why don't you live with him

5: Psyche

I spent the rest of the week avoiding my housemate. I don't know what these feelings I keep having when he's around, but I know they're dangerous. “You are coming to the party.”“Huh?" I looked up from my lunch and was greeted by Charlotte rolling her eyes at me."What's up with you? You know I let it slide for the past days, but I know you've been distracted. Is everything okay?" Her annoyance changed into worry in the blink of an eye. If I can't be honest with my best friend, then who can I be honest with."Just please promise that this stays between us.""Of course. So what is it?""So, you know I moved out right. My... uhm... neighbor is a guy. And we had a couple of interactions for the past month." I started. I guess I made the right call by not saying that we live under the same roof, 'cause by the look on her face... She's already cooking a story."Is he hot?""Seriously?""It's just a yes or no, Psyche.""Fine, yes. You can describe him as hot. That aside, we barely even tal

6: Eros

I noticed her as soon as she stepped into that club. I'm not sure whether to thank or be angry at her best friend for letting her wear that sinful red dress. She has been avoiding me since that night, and honestly, I can't blame her. I don't know exactly what I'm feeling towards her, but one thing is clear: I want her. That night, I almost wanted to unwrap her and mark her right there in the kitchen. And that feeling intensified when I found out that Sebastian was her boyfriend."Earth to Mav.""What?" My focus went back to the idiots in front of me, and all of them have girls wrapped around their bodies, except one, my best friend, Terrence. "You've been out of it since earlier tonight. You, the great Maverick Tanner, have been giving the cold shoulder to all the girls who approached you tonight.""Are we turning a new leaf?""Or maybe you already have eyes on your prey tonight?""Shut up, Rence. I'm just not in the mood tonight.""Ohh. I see." I looked back at him and saw that he

"Thanks for the ride." She forced a smile on her face as she took off the helmet. "I guess now I know why you like riding this thing so much.""What do you mean?" I asked curiously at her as I put my things away."The way you can swerve through the roads. The air brushing through your skin." She paused for a second and smiled genuinely this time, looking at the helmet she had just taken off. "I don't know, but I felt free. Thanks again." And before I could say another word, she had already placed the helmet on my motorbike and was already walking inside our house. The next few days after that night were strangely unremarkable. Psyche has been quiet lately, clearly, she hasn't been herself. She's always inside her room when she's at home, and she would do anything to just avoid anyone while in school. "Charlotte. Where's Hana? I've been trying to contact her, but she's not answering any of my messages or calls." I heard Sebastian's voice echo through the cafeteria as he stood in fron

"You good?" I asked Psyche as we were cruising along the highway on the way home. I felt her nod, but I also felt her shallow breaths and heard her sniffles in the midst of the silent road that we're taking. And then an idea popped into my head, and so I sped up. "This is not the way to the house. Where are you taking me, Eros?" She asked, confused, and still stifling her sobs."You'll see." I said to her, and she just nodded and lay her head on my back as we rode up the mountainside. "We're here." I said, taking my helmet off, and she immediately went down the bike. "Wow." Her voice was in awe, and I couldn't help but smile a little as she stood there, helmet in hand, facing the side of the mountain that was overlooking the whole city and the beach. "It's beautiful.""Yeah. Beautiful." The words just slipped out of my mouth as I stared at her figure, taking in the view. She turned to look at me with a now-genuine smile plastered across her tear-stained face. "Secret hiding spot?"

"Here, put some ice on it. It will heal on its own." The school nurse said, handing a cold compress to Eros, but I immediately grabbed it from him. He looked at me, confused as I reached for his face and angled it with his slightly swollen cheek facing me. I started dabbing the cold compress on it as gently as I could. I really felt guilty about what happened to him. He wouldn't be here right now if he hadn't helped me last night. "That looks so painful." I said as I felt him wince under my touch."Nah. I told you, your boyfriend has a weak punch." I scoffed at his arrogance even at a time like this and lightly punched his shoulder."EX-BOYFRIEND!" I corrected him. The idea of me being with Sebastian repulses me so much that I don't want to be associated with him in any way, shape, or form."Clearly, he didn't get the memo. Honestly, what did you see in that guy?" Eros playfully said to me as I finished dabbing his cheek. "I'm asking myself that too, honestly." I said, shaking my h

10: Psyche

Awkward is an understatement! I could feel Eros and Charlotte trying to psych each other out, but no one dared to say anything, especially Terrence. "I'll get the white wine!" I said before getting up and finally feeling at ease from the tension between the two. "I'll help you!" I heard Terrence say, and soon I felt his presense behind me. "I didn't know it would be this awkward!" He whispered as we took some glasses from the cupboards."What did you expect when you told Char our address?" I whispered back at him emphasizing every word, to let him know that he's not off the hook."She coerced me into telling her. It's not my fault that she's very persuasive." He said, scratching the back of his head as he blushed while staring at nothing. "You like Charlotte?" I asked in an amused hushed tone. My eyes lit up at the opportunity to tease him, and he just blushed even more. "Oh my god! You like her!" I said, almost jumping up and down in excitement."Stop it! She'll hear you!" Terrence
