All Chapters of Dangerous Obsession: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

”Rumor has it that…" Sara's words kept ringing in my head, and I couldn't let go of them. I wanted to know more. My dad has always said my curiosity could kill me, but I wanted to know more. Kevin looked like he knew something I didn't. His face said it all. There was something about him. We were in the basketball court rehearsing again for our upcoming game. I bounced the ball and ran to the net, but Jane hit the ball off the net. “Active girls!” Coach yelled. We went for another round again, and this time the ball passed the net. "Yesssssss." My crew shouted, clapping my back. Coach signaled for a short break as we all ran to the locker room to get our water and snacks. “Nice game, Jordan," Jane drawled. “She managed to get it right… Yeah, we should pop a champagne," Zendaya snorted. She dyed her hair purple. “You didn't spoil the game today," she said. “Yeah… Next time be more active and stop running around the court directionlessly." I smirked back. “

••••••••JORDAN'S POV••••••• The acting principal walked in, and I wondered if we even had a real principal, but of course. It wasn't my concern. The DJ suddenly turned off the music, and the students all kept quiet, giving him the attention he was supposed to get. He smiled in his black pants and white vintage shirt. “On behalf of the management, staff, and students of Lakeside Elites' Academy, I extend a formal welcome to you as you join our academic community.

~•~•~•~•~•JORDAN's POV~•~•~•~•~•~•~ I didn’t wait for anyone to follow me. The second I hit the edge of the pool, the cold air on my skin felt better than the heat of everyone’s eyes. My face was still burning. Not from embarrassment. From rage. From the way Alexander had said my name like it was a secret he’d already figured out. “Spin,” he’d said. Like it was nothing. Like I hadn’t felt my pulse jump when his fingers brushed my hair. Coward. I was the coward for not throwing the bottle at his head. “Jordan?” Sara’s voice pulled me back. She was already in the pool, water up to her shoulders, watching me like I might jump in fully clothed. "Are you coming in or what?” I glanced back at the table. Angela was dragging Taylor and Tyler toward the changing rooms, whispering too fast and too low. I knew Rachel's face whenever she was about to commit a sin, just like the day we had used her mom's perfume without her permission. Darren and Damien were arguing about who had

~•~•~•~•~•ALEXANDER'S POVThe sun fell on her face, her brown eyes even more visible in the sun's rays.She was still asleep, curled on my bed like she hadn’t spent half the night trying to kill me with her glares and moans. Her hair was a mess, damp at the edges from the rain, and there was a faint red mark on her jaw where my hand had been too fast, too careless.Shit.The memory hit me all at once.Her voice. I heard it again, louder than the party downstairs, louder than Angela’s laugh.I sat up slow, dragging a hand through my hair. My head felt like it was full of haze. The room smelled like tequila, smoke, and her. That was worse.It just occurred to me what happened here last night.Damn!She stirred, eyelashes fluttering, before she went still again, like she wasn’t sure if she wanted to wake up to this. I couldn’t blame her. I wasn’t sure I wanted to be here either.I told myself it was just a kiss. But then she’d kissed back, and I felt all hell let loose. Then I remember

♪~♪~♪~♪ JORDAN'S POVI stood on the rooftop with Sara as the morning sun hit my face and the east wind knocked my anxiety away. This was the feeling. The rooftop had quite the view.The pool brought back memories I threw immediately out of my head.I let out a short laugh before I could stop myself.“Told you it was fun." Sara smiled; it reached her ears. It usually never did.My phone buzzed in my pocket; I brought it out and stared at the screen.It was my Lillian—Lillian?? It echoed in my head as my brows furrowed.I let out a sigh and turned back to the sun; Sara was smiling extremely widely.“What’s the smile for?” I sneered teasingly.She shook her head. “I just feel…. "Light," he whispered softly.We sighed again at the same time.“I’m bored; let's plan shit," she shot with a crooked smile.“Mischief—Love it. I suddenly feel like Angela," I said, and we erupted into laughter."Heyo, beauties from hell." A voice sounded out at our back.We turned at the same time. It was James.
