Noah gave me another one of those heart-melting smiles and slid into the empty seat beside me, the one he always chose when he could. It felt like the most ordinary thing in the world, but nothing about today felt ordinary to me.‎‎“Something came up at home. That’s why I was late,” he whispered, leaning slightly closer as he spoke. Mrs. Matte had already resumed her lesson, and Noah clearly didn’t want to get called out.‎‎I nodded, offering him a quiet smile. “I know,” I whispered back. Of course I heard him when he said it in front of the class.He returned my smile with a grateful look and turned back to face the front of the class.But I couldn’t turn back so easily.I sat there, guilt flooding me in waves. Every time he looked at me like that, with trust, with comfort I felt like I was being ripped in two. How could I sit beside him, smiling and whispering like everything was okay, when I knew what I had done?I tried to focus on the board, to blend into the rhythm of the less

**EVA**Noah is the sweet boy who smiled at me in class. The one who called me his "pretty girl" just minutes ago in the hallway. The one I betrayed with the boy standing right in front of me now.I hesitate. “Don’t you know Noah is my boyfriend?” I ask, unsure why that needed clarifying.He snorted, stepping back just an inch but still glaring at me like I’d just confessed to a crime. “You’re still calling him your boyfriend?” His tone was biting, and the venom in his words stung worse than it should have.I stiffened. Yes, I was still calling Noah my boyfriend. Because officially… he still was. I hadn’t told him. Hadn’t broken it off. Because I didn’t have the guts to. Because I couldn’t even understand what Liam and I were.His lip curled, and he let out a humorless laugh. “Right. Boyfriend.” His eyes flicked down to my mouth, lingering there too long, his voice thickening. “The same boyfriend you were cheating on when you spread your legs for me yesterday.”My cheeks flamed. I hat

**EVA**My mouth went dry when I heard principal Aaron's question. I opened it to speak, but nothing came out. I looked at Liam, silently begging him to say something, anything at all, that would make this less humiliating.Liam glanced at me briefly, then turned his gaze back to the principal. “It was my fault,” he said simply. “I pulled her in there. She didn’t do anything wrong.” My eyes widened. What was he doing? Why was he taking the blame like that? “No,” I said quickly, my voice shaky but firm. “It wasn’t just him. I followed him willingly. We were just… talking.” Principal Aaron arched a brow, clearly not buying it. “Talking. In a locked room.” I looked down at my lap, shame burning hot in my cheeks. He sighed heavily, leaning back in his chair. “You both know better. Regardless of your intentions, being alone like that during school hours is a serious violation of school policy. We have rules for a reason. You’re lucky it was Mrs. Henson who found you and not one o

**EVA**The image stretched across the screen, large and unmistakable. Caught mid-frame, the delicate fabric dangled from my hand as I ran like hell from the restroom. It was all there — preserved in digital horror.Principal Aaron’s face twitched the moment the zoom settled. His expression shifted from stern to downright uncomfortable. He immediately removed his hand from the laptop like it had caught fire, his fingers recoiling as a visible cringe tugged at his features.If I thought I couldn’t feel worse than I already did, I was wrong.A wave of nausea rose in my throat, bitter and hot. I swallowed it hard, praying I wouldn’t throw up right there in his office. My cheeks burned, the shame blistering and suffocating. My heart pounded against my ribs like it was trying to escape my chest and abandon me altogether.I couldn’t believe this was real. That anyone — let alone the principal — had seen that moment. That Liam had seen it too.I wanted to disappear into the floor. To fade ou

**EVA**There was a moment of stunned silence. I blinked at him, absorbing his words with both relief and horror. Relief that I wasn’t being expelled but horror that I’d be stuck in detention every day for two weeks. With Liam.I dared a glance at him, but he didn’t look at me. He just stared straight ahead, jaw tight, lips pressed into a thin line. I couldn’t tell what he was thinking.My heart thudded heavily as Principal Aaron began scribbling something into a file. I sank deeper into the chair, trying to convince myself this could’ve ended worse.It could’ve been expulsion.But it wasn’t.Still, two weeks alone in a silent classroom with Liam after everything that happened?****Liam's POV*I watched as Eva practically bolted out of Principal Aaron’s office the second he dismissed her. She didn’t even spare me a glance—not that I expected one. Her cheeks were flushed, her head low, her whole posture screaming shame and panic.But me? I couldn’t stop my eyes from trailing down her
