A Livestream

Ava’s POVI didn’t know my boyfriend was cheating on me until someone handed me the video."Ava… don’t freak out, okay?" Lily whispered as she handed me the phone."Why would I—""Just… watch."It was a livestream. The comments were pouring in and the views kept rising. When I saw the username, my stomach did a slow flip. It was Nina, my roommate. She was a content creator, always chasing views, but this stream didn't just break my heart, it shattered my entire world.I could hear the moans in the background, a sound I knew I’d never be able to forget. It was in our room. My bed. She was on top of someone, her back arched, her legs spread wide.Then the camera shifted, and I saw him. Daniel. My boyfriend.His hands were on her waist, guiding her, pulling her closer. They were laughing, drunk, careless, and completely oblivious to the phone recording them. Or maybe they just didn't care."No…" I tried to breathe. "Turn it off," I said, my voice sounding like it belonged to a

He kissed me back

Ava’s POVI was kissing the most popular person in school, and I couldn't stop.I had expected him to push me away. I expected him to laugh or look at me with the same boredom Daniel did. Instead, I felt his hand slide from my waist to the back of my neck, his fingers tangling in my hair with a grip that made my knees go weak.When I finally pulled back, my heart was hammering so hard I thought it might actually break through my ribs. I couldn't look at the crowd. I could only look at him."Whoa," someone breathed nearby.The heavy silence of the room broke all at once. The music seemed to roar back to life, followed by a wave of whispers."Did Ava just…?""With Ryan Carter?""Is she insane?""Ava!" Daniel’s voice cut through the noise, sharp and vibrating with a fury I’d never heard from him before.I turned slowly. Daniel was staring at us, his face turning a bright red with his fists clenched tight at his sides."What the hell was that?" Daniel stepped toward us, ignoring

His Girlfriend

Ava’s POVThe weekend went by in a blur of avoided phone calls. I knew I should have stayed home.I woke up to the sound of a dozen notifications on my nightstand. I reached for the phone, squinting at the harsh light of the lock screen. The school confessions post from the party was still at the top of my feed, the image of me and Ryan blurred but unmistakable.The caption read: The Queen of Hearts just took the King. Sorry, Daniel. Looks like you’ve been replaced."Oh, no," I whispered, pulling the covers over my head as if it could shield me from the entire internet. I scrolled through the comments, my stomach twisting with every word.“Is this a prank?” I read aloud. Further down, another user asked, “Wait, isn't she dating that guy Daniel?”“Ryan Carter doesn’t date. He barely speaks. How did she pull this off?!”Then, a text from Lily slid into view: MEET ME IN SCHOOL ASAP!!!!I groaned and rolled over in bed, staring at the ceiling. An hour later, I was stepping into th

King of the Ice

Ava’s POV"Are you two... actually together?"The question came from a girl in the hallway who had her phone angled perfectly to catch the answer. The crowd had slowed waiting for the punchline.I opened my mouth to say something, anything to lower the heat, but a heavy arm went over my shoulders before I could speak. Ryan pulled me against his side, his warm body a contrast to my cold skin."Yeah," Ryan said, his voice dropping into a low, possessive tone that vibrated through my own chest. "She’s mine. Any more questions?"My heart hammered against my ribs like a trapped bird. She’s mine. It was just a line. Part of the act. But the way he said it, so certain, so final, it sent a shiver down my spine that had nothing to do with fear and everything to do with the way he was looking at me."Walk," he murmured into my ear.He didn't ask. He just took my hand, his long fingers sliding between mine and locking tight. Ryan was used to the attention, hell he was the "King of the I

A Bet

Ava’s POV"You look beautiful, honey," my mother said, her voice tight with a nervous kind of excitement I hadn't seen in years. "Victor is so excited to finally have us all together. His son is joining us, too. I’ve heard he’s... well, he’s a bit intense, but I’m sure you’ll get along.""I'm sure," I murmured, smoothing out my silk dress. My mind was miles away, wondering if Ryan was currently telling the hockey team that I was his property for the week.I looked at my mum. She was glowing, grinning like a teenager. She had been absent for most of my life, especially since the divorce, and now she was moving on like nothing had ever happened. She chatted happily, her tone the same breathless pitch as when she’d called me at school."Ava, darling! I know it's been a while, but I have the most incredible news," she’d said over the phone. "I'm getting married. To Victor. We’ve decided not to wait. We're moving into his estate this weekend."My stomach had dropped. "Married? Mum,

What the fuck

Ava's povAt that point, I wished nothing more than for the ground to open up and swallow me.Ryan leaned back in his chair like this was a normal introduction.“Oh” My mother laughed lightly, completely unaware. “You two know each other already?”My fingers curled tightly in my lap beneath the table, gripping the soft fabric of my dress. I pressed my nails into my skin just to feel something steady. Ryan's expression remained calm, almost bored… but his eyes were locked on me.“School,” I said finally, forcing the word out. “We go to the same school.”A small smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.“Yeah.”Victor smiled, clearly pleased. “Well, that’s convenient. Saves us from the awkward introductions.”My mom squeezed my shoulder, her excitement practically vibrating through her. “See? I told you everything would work out perfectly.”I risked a glance at Ryan, who was still watching me, probably waiting for me to crack.My stomach twisted. It was all a game to him.My fingers tre

Getting Messy

Ava's pov The drive home felt longer than usual. Or maybe it was just my mother. She talked the entire time.“I really like Victor,” she said, her voice bright, almost breathless. “He’s thoughtful, he listens, oh, and did you see the way he ordered for us? So confident. It’s been a long time since I’ve felt this… sure about someone.”I stared out the window, watching the streetlights blur past.“Mm.”“And Ryan,” she continued, like she couldn’t help herself, “he’s not what I expected.”My grip tightened slightly around my phone.Me neither.“He seems… intense, yes, but there’s something about him. He’s polite. Quiet. You should get along.”I let out a small breath through my nose. If she only knew.“I mean it, Ava,” she pressed, glancing at me briefly before turning back to the road. “This is a big change for all of us, but it could be really good. A fresh start.”Just like the other, because nothing said a fresh start like moving in with the guy who might have been playing me from t

A threat

Ava's pov“You’re joking.”Lily stared at me like I had just told her the sky turned green overnight.“I wish I was,” I muttered, adjusting my bag on my shoulder as we stood by the lockers. “My mom is marrying his dad. Soon.”Her mouth opened. Closed. It opened again.“No. No, wait, hold on.” She grabbed my arm. “So the guy you kissed… the guy you’re dating… is about to be your stepbrother?”I gave a slow nod. “Yeah.”Lily let out a strangled laugh. “Okay, no. That’s not real life. That’s… that’s a plot twist.”“Tell me about it.”“And you didn’t know?”“I found out last night. At dinner.” I exhaled. “Right after you told me about the bet.”Her expression changed immediately.“Oh.”Yeah. Oh.There was a brief silence before she leaned in closer, lowering her voice.“Ava… about that,” she said carefully. “I’m serious. People are talking. Like, a lot.”“I know.”“I heard two guys from the team this morning,” she continued. “They said Ryan took a bet. That he could make you fall for him.

It was real

Ava’s POV“I’m gonna send the chat to the school blog. Let’s see how he wins it now.”For a second, I thought Tyler was bluffing.People say things like that all the time. Big talk. Empty threats, but then he pulled out his phone and smiled.Something cold slid down my spine.“Tyler,” I said, stepping forward before I could stop myself. “What are you talking about?”He glanced up at me, amused. “Relax. It’s already out there.” His finger tapped the screen.“Ava…” Lily grabbed my arm. “Let’s go.”But it was too late.The first phone buzzed. Then another. And another.The sound spread like a ripple through the cafeteria, notifications going off in waves, heads dropping to screens, conversations cutting mid-sentence.“…wait, what is this?”“No way…”“Is that real?”My heart started pounding. My thumb hovered over the screen of my phone for half a second. Then I opened the post.Just there, at the top…“Hockey Captain’s Bet Exposed. Was It All a Game?”A screenshot dropped next.Tyler: B

Moving day

Ava's pov The entire drive, my mum didn’t stop talking.“Victor says the neighborhood is very quiet,” she said, her voice light, almost breathless. “And the house, Ava, wait till you see it. It’s beautiful. I mean, I’ve shown you pictures, but it’s different in person.”“Mm.”“And there’s a guest wing, and a study, and the kitchen is just, oh, you’ll love it. We can finally have people over without feeling cramped.”“Yeah.”She glanced at me briefly, like she was checking if I was sharing the excitement.I wasn’t.My phone rested face down on my lap, but I didn’t need to flip it over to know what was on the screen. Missed calls, Messages from Ryan.I hadn’t answered any of them.Not the first one. Not the fifth. Not even the last message he sent last night.*We need to talk.*I stared out the window instead, watching the city slowly thin into quieter streets, bigger houses, cleaner roads. Everything looked… different. Polished.Like a place where nothing messy was allowed to exist.“
