All Chapters of FALLING FOR MY HIGH SCHOOL CRUSH (Forbidden Romance): Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

After the lecture, most students scampered through to the cafeteria, mostly in groups as they chatted about how exhausting and boring the lecture was. Emily sat down, ready to make her order and that of Ryan, but he was nowhere to be found. She furrowed her brows, standing awkwardly for a while with no trace of him anywhere.“Have you seen the captain?” She asked one of the hockey players who had his gaze fixed in his phone. He was engrossed with whatever was in the phone and only pointed towards another direction.“The locker room” he muttered as she rolled her eyes but not sure why Ryan would still be at the locker room even till now.Emily headed towards the locker room, and as she swung the door open, she stood frozen in the doorway, one hand still on the handle. Her other hand was pressed against her mouth like she was trying to hold back a scream.Lucas saw her first. His whole body went cold, then hot, then cold again. Ryan was still pressed against him, both of them half-undr

Lucas could hear the sound of his chest pounding rapidly, he rushed over to his locker and reached out for the camera where he had hidden it, but there was no trace of it there. “Shit!” He groaned as he ran his fingers through his head. Staring blankly around, his gaze finally landed on the camera on the floor, and just like the stalker said, it had been smashed. Whoever sent it knew too much. His throat tightened as he shoved the phone into his pocket and hurried across campus. There was only one person he could talk to, Elvis.He reached the dormitory, his heart did not stop racing all the way there. Elvis’s door was slightly open, loud music spilling through. Lucas knocked twice, then pushed it wider and froze.“Yeah— harder– rock me harder Elvis—” The girl kept moaning so loud with her eyes shut, no doubt that the pleasure had taken her up to another planet.Elvis was half-naked, tangled in sheets with a girl who clearly wasn’t shy about her moans. Lucas quickly turned around,

Ryan parked in front of Emily’s apartment and sat there for a minute, staring at the steering wheel. His chest felt heavy. The talk with Coach was still echoing in his head, and now this, Emily. He couldn’t avoid her anymore. He needed to fix things, or at least try.He got out and walked to her door. His knuckles hovered for a second before he finally knocked. Nothing. He knocked again.After a while, the door opened. Emily stood there, her hair tied up, eyes red like she’d been crying. She didn’t look surprised to see him, just tired.“What are you doing here?” she asked coldly.“I needed to talk to you.”She crossed her arms. “About what? You think there’s something left to say?”“Please,” he said quietly. “Just hear me out.”She stared at him for a long second, then stepped aside. “You’ve got five minutes.”He walked in slowly. The room was dim, just a lamp on. He could feel the awkward silence pressing between them.Emily stood near the couch, arms still crossed. “So, talk.”Ryan

The ice field was packed. Every seat in the arena was filled with students bundled in winter coat. Although most students weren't aware why they were here today, they were anxious to know what it was all about. The noise level was almost unbearable with conversations that were mostly accompanied with laughter.Lucas sat somewhere in the middle section where he thought he would be invincible, hands shoved deep into his hoodie pockets. Elvis who had forced him to be here today was seated by his right, but he wasn't paying Lucas any attention. He was too busy talking to some pretty brunette girl from their English class, leaning in close, making her laugh. The girl, Sarah was giggling at something Elvis said, touching his arm in that flirty way girls did when they were interested.Lucas barely noticed. His eyes were fixed on the makeshift stage that had been set up at the edge of the rink. Coach Morris stood at the microphone, clipboard in hand, waiting for the crowd to settle down.

While Lucas and Kai walked outside the arena, they kept on chatting casually like they had known each other for the longest time. "Lucas! Wait up!"Lucas heard his name. He would recognize that voice even in his sleep and the sound of that voice made his entire body go rigid. Kai came to a halt in front of his car with keys in hand. "Friend of yours?" Kai narrowed his eyes as he asked. Lucas remained silent, not sure what to say. Ryan ran toward them, still in his hockey gear, sneakers hastily thrown on, jersey clinging to him. He looked out of breath. "Can I talk to you?" Ryan's eyes were only on Lucas. "Just for a minute." Lucas's throat tightened. After yesterday and the way Ryan had spoken to him, Lucas wasn't sure he was ready to have any form of conversation with him. "I'll wait in the car," Kai said Calmly. Lucas followed Ryan to the other side of the school gate where there were barely any students, keeping distance between them. When they stopped, Ryan turned to f
