Keisha’s POVPhoebe’s words wouldn’t leave my head no matter how hard I tried to put it aside, the way she smirked when she said it made my stomach twist in a way I didn't like.And I couldn't help but be bothered by Rowan's reactions too. The way he brushed me off, the unreadable look on his face, it felt like he was really hiding something.Through the rest of the camp activities, I tried to focus, I tried to laugh along as my friends and I paired up for team games, tried to keep my energy up when we went on the treasure hunt around the woods, tried to look like everything was normal when the teachers encouraged us to take notes for our assignment. I even forced myself to smile while we took group pictures. But only a part of me was doing all these, the other part was still not over Rowan’s face and Phoebe’s words, and the way they had been walking together since morning. “Keisha, you’ve been quiet,” Nicole nudged me as we sat on the grass after the game. “You look like you’re abo

Keisha's POVI didn’t stop running until I slammed my bedroom door shut, pressed my back against it and slid down until my butt hit the floor, my heart pounding like a war drum. "You are a big jerk, Rowan." I muttered, my voice coming out breathless, as if I had just finished a race.That idiot, he used me and moved on to the next girl available. Who knew if he was using Phoebe too. But it didn't seem like he was using her, the way he touched her said more than that. And the way she giggled like they had been doing that for a while. What if the both of them were in a real relationship while Rowan was using? I shook my head as if that would make the images that kept replaying in my mind disappear. I heard the soft scrape of my window sliding open, I shot to my feet and wondered who it was. Rowan had never climbed my window before, so I knew it wasn't him. Jake grunt as he climbed in, he now had a shirt over his shorts but his hair was still messy. "Hey." He said in a soft time as

Keisha's POV"That idiot, I'm so going to kill him!" Amy seethed as she put the car back in ignition and started to drive us to school."Do you think we should report him to his dad, the principal?" Yuri asked. I was about to agree but then I remembered how Jake said his dad always supports Rowan."I think we should keep this to ourselves for now." I answered. "What do you mean? Everyone has to know the truth, he has to be punished for humiliating you." Amy said as she glanced at me before focusing back on the road."I know, I just have a feeling that Mr Hawkins might dismiss it since Rowan is the culprit, Jake said he really likes his son and everything he does is always right in his sight." "Now that's bad, really bad. What are we going to do now." Nicole asked.I bit my nails as I thought about what to do. We had to do something that would ensure that Rowan gets punished, but how do we do that? "What about Phoebe? We can persuade her to confess." I suggested."Do you really thi

Keisha's POVRowan didn't lie when he said he was going to tell everyone the truth. By lunch break, his apology letter was already taped to the notice board. He apologized for spreading false rumors, admitted that he started the fight with Jake and also confessed that he was the one who put up my posters. Mr Hawkins had no choice, he suspended Rowan for two weeks and he also quit the basketball team. Jake wasn't punished like I thought he would be, he was only warned not to fight within the school premises anymore. The cafeteria buzzed louder than usual as if the air itself carried Rowan’s apology across the room. Everyone seemed to be talking about his apology letter. Most people kept giving me looks of pity while some just stared at me like they didn't care. But nobody came to apologize for how they judged me and humiliated me wrongly.Not that their apologies would do anything to the damage they had caused now. I didn't fail to notice how Rowan didn't mention Phoebe in his lette

Keisha's POVThe world seemed to pause for a moment and my lungs forgot how to work. My grip on his hands tightened as I stared at him with my mouth slightly opened. "I... Uhm-"“I’m not saying this because I expect you to say it back right now,” he rushed on, words tumbling out before I could even react. “I just… I want you to know. You don’t have to feel the same way. You don’t have to say anything at all.”No, I wanted to say those words back to him because what I felt for him was deeper than just a crush. I felt something more for him, something that made me want to take away all the pain he had gone through all these years. Something that made me want to let him know that he deserved all the happiness in this world. “Jake..." I whispered, "I love you too." He froze for a moment before he arched his brows at me, "wait, are you for real? You really don't have to say it back right now, Keisha."I leaned forward and stood on tippytoes, placing a kiss on his lips. I pulled away but
