Chapter 1

Selena’s PovI had never been this nervous about a party in my entire life. It was my coming-of-age party, but that wasn’t the only reason I was eager.Tonight, Jake promised me he’d finally tell everyone about us.For months, we’d kept our relationship a secret. He said it was better that way—for both of us. He said things were complicated because of who he was, because of his family, and something else he never quite explained.And being the hopeless lover girl that I am, I believed every word. Because the most important thing was that we loved each other, and that was enough for me.And now, knowing that he was planning to make our relationship official, I couldn’t help the excitement sizzling in my chest.“Tonight. Everyone will know you’re mine, and I’m yours.”His words rang in my head for the millionth time, and I couldn’t stop the little giggle that escaped my lips.“You seem to be over the moon,” my best friend Ava observed, taking a sip from her cup.My smile instantly faded

Chapter 2

Selena’s Pov“Careful, so you don’t get drunk,” Cullen said, his gaze fixed on me.I chuckled and downed another shot, the burn sliding down my throat. “That’s the aim,” I muttered, gripping the cup tighter. Tonight, I wanted to drink until I couldn’t feel anything anymore.Cullen hadn’t objected when I asked him to have a drink with me, and I appreciated that more than I thought I would. It was like he knew I needed someone to lean on, and he just… stayed.But deep down, I knew tomorrow would be different. Jasmine would probably suspect Jake and I had been together, considering how I reacted when I caught them tangled up in each other’s arms. And if Jasmine knew, then the whole school would know. Everyone would know that my boyfriend dumped me—on my birthday.What a wonderful way to live.I kept downing shots, ignoring the person sitting next to me. All I wanted was to forget everything, even though I knew that was impossible. If alcohol could erase memories, I’d gladly drink myself

Chapter 3

Selena's Pov We lay tangled in his sheets, silent, neither of us daring to speak. His hand rested on my back, my head on his shoulder.I wasn’t thinking about Jake or everything that happened. Instead, I was feeling… different. Finally.“Are you okay?” Cullen’s voice was soft, his fingers brushing through my hair slowly.I nodded. “Yeah… I am. Are you?”“Yeah.”I turned my head slightly, meeting his gaze. He was staring down at me, and the sudden weight of reality hit me hard. We had just made out—crossed a line we couldn’t uncross. But deep down, I knew this didn’t mean anything. For us both.“This doesn’t change anything,” I whispered, my voice low, my chest tightening.His jaw tensed, and he shut his eyes for a brief second before opening them again. “I know.”“We’re still just… whatever this is,” I mumbled, hoping he’d understand.“I get it,” Cullen said quietly, not pushing further.I slipped out of bed, got dressed, and left without looking back. I didn’t want to give him, or a

Chapter 4

Selena's Pov “Last night…” Jake began, but I cut him off with a wave of my hand.“I don’t need your explanation. I don’t need your fake words or your insincere apology. Last night made me realize where I truly stood in your life. I was never actually important to you. That explains why you’ve always insisted we keep our relationship a secret.”I gave a bitter smile. “I was the foolish one here. I could’ve read between the lines all along, but I chose to believe your words.”“Jasmine is my girlfriend,” Jake suddenly blurted out, and my gaze flew to him.“What happened between us was just a fling. I didn’t expect it to get this far. I just wanted to toy around with you and then toss you aside. Now the whole school knows, and I almost lost Jasmine because of it,” he said, clenching his jaw.A scoff escaped my lips as I stared at him in disbelief. Was he seriously saying this to me?He wasn’t here to apologize… he was here to tell me I was nothing? That I was a fling? A mere toy?Tears s

Chapter 5

Selena's Pov The male dorm was already packed when we arrived.Music thumped through the walls like a second heartbeat. We stepped out of the Uber together and walked in, looking like a trio straight out of a college drama.Nia led the way, pulling us through the crowd. Ava leaned in close and whispered, “Keep your chin up. You look like a goddess.”I wasn’t so sure about that, but the black top hugged my waist perfectly, showing off my curves, and the jeans made the shape of my ass stand out. For once, my hair wasn’t a mess, and the eyeliner made my eyes look sharper than usual.Nia definitely meant what she said earlier—she wanted Jake to realize what he lost and Jasmine to burn with jealousy seeing me tonight.We pushed through a wave of sweaty bodies until we found a quieter corner.“Drinks?” Ava asked.“I’ll take water,” I said.She raised an eyebrow. “You’re no fun.”I just shrugged, and as they went to grab drinks, I leaned against the wall, trying to stay invisible.That’s wh

Chapter 6

Selena’s POVCullen’s last words kept ringing in my head. “I'm willing to let you use me Selena.” Was he serious? I have been lied to enough by Jake to believe anything that comes out of a boy’s mouth. I didn't think I was in the position to use someone. That would just prove that I am not different from Jake. I didn’t want to be that person. Moreover, Cullen had been everything but bad to me, I would die of guilt if I ever toyed with his feelings the way Jake toyed with mine. I swallowed a gulp, unable to look him in the eye when I realized the discussion that brought us here. “I need to go.” I scrambled, awkwardly walking away from him. “Selena...” He called out as my hands slipped from his. I turned back, daring myself to look him in the eye. “I don’t–” I started, unable to complete my sentence when I saw a little flash of anger in his eyes. Was he mad at me? I couldn’t help but wonder. They weren’t exactly looking at me, It seemed like they were directed at someone far away

Chapter 7

Selena’s POV“Stop!!!” I screamed at the top of my lungs, panting for breath as Jasmine released her hands from my throat. She had picked me up and slammed me against a tree like I was a piece of paper. Her figure dangling in front of me like a fiery witch. “You piece of shit.” She hissed, her face wrinkled up in disgust. “I'm going to teach you a lesson,” she continued. My heart caught up in my chest. She had just strangled me for five minutes. What else did she plan to do? Kill me? Maybe Nia was right. I should have come up with a plan when I still could instead of waiting around for her to deal with me like this. What did I even do to deserve this? “By the time I'm done with you, no one, not even Jake or Cullen will recognize you,” She added, punching my ribs. “Ahhhh!” I gritted in pain, looking around to see if anyone could help. Unfortunately my sight was blurred from the numerous tortures.I couldn't even pick up where we were but with the hard clusters of leaves under my

Chapter 8

Selena’s POV“Then we can paralyse her completely.” I heard Nia say as my eyes fluttered open. The sun was already out, peeping through the crevices of our shut window blind. I rubbed my eyes and temples as my eyes quickly scanned the room. Ava and Nia sat on Nia’s bed facing one another with Ava keenly listening to Nia. “I don’t think that will work. Jasmine has very good reflexes,” Ava objected, her face turned up as if visualising what Nia had told her. I don’t think they were going to get over the idea of fighting and defeating Jasmine any time soon.“She would not see it coming at all. With our scents masked and careful steps…” Nia stopped halfway, beaming sheepishly, another idea must have crossed her mind. I rolled my eyes and rolled off the bed, causing their heads to turn towards me. “You guys should forget about it,” I stated, walking to the coffee maker to pour myself a cup of coffee. “Told ya,” Ava said, turning to Nia.“I’m surprised you are not talking her out of thi

Chapter 9

Selena’s pov “Ummm… it’s nothing serious.” I stammered. My voice was barely above a whisper. My throat immediately became dry, and it felt like the words were trying so hard to come out but they couldn’t. I didn’t want to tell them, I didn’t want them to know because I didn’t want them to be a part of this mess that I had created by myself. Not Ava, and definitely not Nia. If I dragged them into this mess now, it would only make things worse than it already was.“Let’s just let it slide, okay? I can barely remember it anyway,” I continued, trying to brush it off. Ava tilted her head, and she frowned. Her soft brown eyes immediately became filled with worry. But Nia?… Nia was not having it. Her eyes were filled with something that I couldn’t name. She crossed her hands on her chest and she let out a frustrated sigh. One that made the air feel heavier. “Girl, you can’t do that, yunno,” Nia said sharply. Her words felt like a knife was driving into my chest. “You’re keeping a lot

Chapter 10

Selena’s POV“It’s delicious, Ava!” Nia screamed with her mouth that was already filled with pancakes, the syrup dropped down on her chin and she did not care. Her whole face looked like she had just seen heaven. “This is damn too good!”Ava blinked her eyes several times like she could not believe what her ears had heard. She held on to her chest and she threw her head back like she was pretending to be in shock. “Hold up. Did Nia… the same Nia who said I almost burned water last week… just compliment my cooking? Someone please call the ambulance, ‘cause I surely am about to faint right now.” I laughed very hard, and my hand was holding my stomach because it started to hurt from how bad I had been laughing. Nia rolled her eyes at me and put another full pancake in her mouth, trying to be funny. “Don’t let it get to your head,” she said while chewing. “I still don’t trust you in the kitchen. You could blow up the toaster for all I know.”“Oh please,” Ava groaned dramatically, holdin
