Lahat ng Kabanata ng HIS ROOMMATE WAS A LIE : Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

Sera povThe door clicked shut behind me, and I barely had a second to breathe before Kael rounded on me like a storm.“What was that?” he demanded, his voice sharp.My back instinctively straightened. “What was what?”“You know damn well what I’m talking about, Seth!” His tone was furious and angry, like something had snapped inside him.I blinked, trying to play dumb, even though I knew exactly what he meant. “You mean Luca? He was just messing around.”Kael’s eyes were dark, his expression unreadable. “Messing around? He kissed your damn forehead.”I felt heat rush to my face. Not the flustered kind from Luca’s unexpected kiss but from panic. Because all of this was dangerous,too dangerous for me. I couldn’t afford attention, especially not like that. I was a boy for god sake!I swallowed hard and kept my voice calm. “It didn’t mean anything.”“It better not,” Kael muttered, then added harshly, “Stay away from him. I mean it.”With that, he turned and slammed the bathroom door beh

Chapter 13 – SeraShit!.I fumbled with the hem of my t shirt, tugging it down so fast that the fabric stuck to my damp skin. My fingers were clumsy and my brain too was busy running through worst case scenarios like a maniac.Kael didn’t even look at me , at least not right away. His attention was on the muddy pile in the corner, his jaw was tight. And I was silently praying that he didn't notice the sports bra.“You left them there?” he said, nodding toward the mess like it personally offended him.Relief hit me so hard that I almost swayed. He wasn’t looking at bra, He hadn’t seen it! Thank God,that would have been a total disaster.“I was… going to deal with it,” I said quickly. My voice cracked halfway through, and I prayed he didn’t notice.He stepped further into the room, the door swinging shut behind him with a quiet click. “If you leave them like that, the whole room’s going to smell like a swamp and I don't like my room dirty.”“Noted,” I muttered, sidestepping toward my d

Chapter 15 – SeraYou know there is that moment when you see your entire life flashes before your eyes? Yeah! Except mine wasn’t good flashbacks of my childhood memories, instead it was just me, screaming internally on repeat like I’m dead. I’m so, so dead.Marcus raised the bra higher, like he is showing a trophy . “Well?” he pressed, his grin was so smug that I wanted to smack his face to the inside of my locker violently, repeatedly, maybe until he swallowed his own teeth.The entire locker room had gone silent. Every single pair of eyes was on me, they were all waiting for me to admit that the bra was mine but nope! Not today.I swallowed hard. I couldn't find any words what were words again? My brain had just successful decided to shut down at that moment . All I could think was that’s mine. He’s holding my secret,my life. Now I'm dead. It's over goodbye, cruel world. When I threw a glance at kael, he hadn’t moved since I walked in, but now he straightened just slightly from

Sera povWhen I thought Juliette had reached her maximum level of clinginess, I was wrong.So, so wrong.The moment we stepped to the field for the morning activities, she had practically glued herself to Kael’s side I knew he didn’t want that but couldn’t shake her off. Her hand kept brushing against his sleeve also her laugh was way too high pitched fake. Honestly, if she giggled one more time, I was filing a noise complaint.And Kael was face was still cold, it's was evident he enduring her presence like she was something he couldn’t change.Meanwhile, I was just trying to blend in with anything and pretend none of this involved me but of course, Luca had other ideas.He slung his arm around my shoulders, leaning in close with his signature grin. “So, Seth. You’re awfully quiet today. Don’t tell me you’re intimidated by all the pretty girls running around?”I elbowed him. “Shut up.”But Luca only leaned closer, his voice dropping just enough for me to hear. “Relax. You’ve got th

Chapter 19 – Sera After the activities, Aldich girls had to return to their school. Fancy buses were lined up along the driveway, and girls from Aldich were hugging, squealing and dragging their suitcases toward their chaperones. Boys from our school helped tossing bags into the luggage compartments or pretending they weren’t watching the dramatic farewell the girls were having all about kisses and teary goodbyes.It was chaos but the good kind of chaos because I could hide in. I had my backpack slung over one shoulder and my earbuds in but there was no music playing, because pretending not to listen was easier than actually not listening. My eyes betrayed me and wandered to where Kael was standing. Honestly that guy was tall and Immaculate as always. His shirt was half tucked in his pants, his tie was undone. He looked like he could rock a magazine cover just by existing.He wasn’t looking at me but I was looking at him, and that was bad enough. I keep telling myself I didn
