CHAPTER 30

Susan Beep beep! Beep beep!The alarm clock on my nightstand blared off, waking me instantly. I groaned sleepily, sitting up.I love my sleep. Especially around this time of the dawn, when it's usually the sweetest.But recently, I haven't minded waking up early. I'd rather lose my sleep than miss spending some quality time with Trevor.Trevor and I have been jogging together every morning since our first day, and I guess it's safe for me to say that we've gotten quite… acquainted.I find a reason to text him every day, either related to sports or a topic he taught in class. And he wastes no time in replying to all of my texts. I don't care what we're talking about as long as we're talking.He's so friendly, nice and warm and gosh, every fucking time I see him, he looks hotter than the last.Being around him every morning and fighting the urge not to run my eyes over him or... to pull him by the collar and kiss

CHAPTER 31

Susan I nodded without wasting a second, trying as hard as I could to contain my bubbling excitement.God, my heart's about to explode.“Okay, I'm gonna help you to your feet.” He squatted again, then slid his hand over my back. My breath hitched under his touch.He turned sharply to me, confusion written all over his face. “Everything alright?”Shit! Shit! Shit!I've been trying so freaking hard not to do anything that would get him under the impression that I'm uncomfortable with him. I had everything under control, like not blushing or moaning out loud when he touched my ankle.I guess I was so excited that I was going over to his house that I lost it for a second.“Yeah.” I nodded my head. “Everything's alright.”“Okay, I'm gonna pull you up right now.” He announced, his hold on my stomach tightening as he slowly pulled me to my feet. “Yeah… there we go.”As he did that, I felt m

CHAPTER 32

Andrew Tammy is so mad at me right now because I ruined her date. And when I got the chance to set things straight this morning during breakfast, I made everything worse.And now she's more mad.I was only looking out for her. How was I supposed to know that her date wasn't like all these disgusting, sleazy boys in town, especially with that text that messed up my mind?I know she has always respected and admired me, unlike Sue, but now I'm worried that this will change everything.She said that Devin has corrupted my mind, and I project his actions onto every guy in Palmridge. But that's ridiculous. I'm not projecting anything. I've lived here all my life, and I know exactly how these guys behave.She's just so naive and so trusting. And also, Sue has gotten into her head…“Earth to Andy!” A hand shook me a little. I flinched, jolting out of my thoughts.“What?” I asked, voice husky, startled.Kyle's

CHAPTER 33

Tamara “Tam, come on!” Sue shouted from downstairs, “Come on! I have a morning class to get to, and I do not want to be late!”“Coming!” I replied, half-yelling as I flicked my hair in front of the mirror and applied lipstick on my lips.Scott hasn't responded to any of my texts or calls since the Saturday date disaster, and I get it. That is why I have to dress and look good since I plan on apologizing today on Andy's behalf.I like Scott a lot to let that one incident keep us from being together.“Arrgghh! Tamara!!”Dropping the lipstick, I snatched my bag and hurried downstairs only to find Sue with a deep frown on her face.“I'm here!” I chirped, flashing her a smile, “I'm here. Here I am.”“If I miss my morning class, I swear to God, I'm gonna smoulder you.” She threatened playfully as she swung around and headed outside. “Ooh, I'm so scared.” I teased, letting out a soft laugh, following her clo

CHAPTER 34

Tamara Badump! Badump! Badump!It's happening again. That stupid feeling I always get when I'm around him. I tried to shrug it off and not pay it any mind, hoping it would stop, but it just kept resurfacing.Getting worse.And I don't like it.Why is his forearm so veiny and strong-looking? I shouldn't be looking. Why is it suddenly hot in here even though the windows are open? I began to fan my face with my hand.“You good, Bunny?” Devin asked, turning to have a full look at me.“Yes, I'm good, just drive a little bit faster,” I replied, voice aloof, hoping the rest of the drive to campus would be done in utter silence.“But you don't look so good.” He insisted, leaning forward, “You're sweating like a guinea pig and red as fuck.”“I said I'm good!” I snapped at him. I could feel his hot breath on my face, “Personal space? Do you mind?!”He backed away, “Sorry.”“And focus on th

CHAPTER 35

DevinI climbed down from the car with the intent of chasing after Bunny and continuing with teasing her like I usually do, only to find her talking with that Brit guy she seems so smothered with.What's his name again? Scooby? It starts with a "sco" or something. Whatever, I don't care.I leaned against the car, folded my arms across and watched them. Yeah, I don't like him. Not one bit.He nodded over at me, followed by Bunny turning to me, then away.Wait, is that bastard talking about me? He'd better be talking nice things about me, or he's gonna get it. I still haven't forgotten how he called me “Pretty Boy” back at the infirmary and bolted like a pussy.He turned around and walked away, leaving Bunny standing there, staring after him like a girl who had just confessed to her crush, but got rejected.What the fuck just happened? This looks amusing. I unfolded my arms, then approached Bunny. She looked so shocked, po
