WHAT'S FUNNY?

••AURELIA’S POV••I cut the call and put the phone in my pocket as I looked at Zayn, who was standing by the door, staring at me with a curious face. “Who was that?”“Ceci,” I replied.“And you were about to tell her about Nessa?”I shrugged casually, mirroring the same indifference he had shown while talking about his precious side chick. “She’s my best friend…. Besides, according to you and to her, I should stop keeping secrets. So I think this is me trying to be more of an open book.”“Aurelia, this is not what I meant.”“Whatever is going on between you and Nessa, I don't want to know about it,” I interrupted, folding my arms tightly across my chest. “Honestly, I don't even know why it bothers me as much as it does, but it does, and pretending otherwise would just be lying to both of us.”I let out a slow breath before continuing.“So I think keeping some distance between us is probably the best thing right now. I'll stay in the room you've given me until I can find an apartment o

WAS I LYING?

••AURELIA’S POV••“Come on, say it,” I snapped at him, my fists clenching as I readied myself for another punch. “Whatever it is, say it on my face. Let me teach you who I am. Why don’t you stand up and face me, you fucking coward?”I was about to punch him again when Zayn rushed to hold me from behind, dragging me backwards.“Let me go!” I yelled at Zayn, who held me tighter as if he loosened the grip, I might jump on Derek and attack him again.I struggled before Cecile came to face me.“What is wrong with you?” she sighed, gritting her teeth in frustration. “You’re not supposed to hit him. You should complain to someone, an authority or something.”“No,” I shook my head before turning my gaze at Derek who was shocked by my unexpected punch. “No need for such things, I want to teach him a lesson so that next time he thinks of opening his hypocritical mouth to go out there trying to slander my name everywhere in this school, he’ll remember what I did to him today.”A small chuckle ro

I'LL SEE YOU TONIGHT

••OLIVER’S POV••The moment Zayn, Cecile, and Aurelia walked out of the gym, I glanced around at the remaining players. None of them had gone back to practice. Instead, they stood in small groups, whispering among themselves while stealing glances at Derek and me.I didn't need enhanced hearing to know what they were talking about. Aurelia had turned the entire situation against us. Instead of believing Derek's rumors, they were beginning to wonder why he had been so determined to destroy her reputation in the first place. Some of them were probably convinced she really had evidence against him.This idiot Derek. He'd thought spreading rumors would ruin Aurelia's name. Instead, he'd only made everyone suspicious of himself.I took a deep breath before forcing a calm smile onto my face. “All right, everyone, get back to practice. I need to speak to Derek alone.”They exchanged glances before moving away, and I shifted my gaze to Derek.“Follow me.”I then walked away from him, heading

INTIMIDATION OVER MANIPULATION

••AURELIA'S POV••The moment we got back to the house, Zayn dropped his keys into the small wooden bowl by the door before walking straight toward the living room.Without saying a word, he let himself fall onto the couch with a heavy sigh, resting his head against the backrest as he stared at the ceiling.For a long moment, neither of us spoke.The apartment was unusually quiet.No shouting…. No rumors…. No Derek….. No Oliver.Just peaceful silence.I slowly walked over and sat on the couch opposite him, watching him more carefully than I probably should have.Only now did I notice the exhaustion on his face.A few loose strands of his silver hair had fallen over his forehead, still damp from the exhausting day. His jacket clung slightly to his broad shoulders, and there were many scrapes across his knuckles that I hadn't noticed before.He looked tired, not just physically, but mentally.Today had been exhausting for him too.First, he humiliated Oliver on the ice in front of the en

WHAT IS YOUR TYPE?

••AURELIA’S POV••“I just want to know about your past relationships…. How many have you had? Who have you been with, sexually, non-sexually? Like almost everything I want to know.”He chuckled a bit, getting to his feet.“Where are you going?” I growled, as he walked to the wine cabinet rather than answering my question.“I need something to drink after listening to your question, maybe I need some courage to speak about my past, my dear princess.” He smiled in return, “by the way, do you want some?”I shook my head. “I think I’ll rather stay sober.”“It’s non-alcoholic.” He lifted the bottle in the air and showed me, reluctantly and hesitatingly I nodded. “Sure, I’ll take a glass.”I watched him as he meticulously poured the wine into two glasses before coming to me, towering over me as he handed one to me. I took it, smiled, and took a sip, and truthfully, it was fruit wine… I must admit, it tastes so good, unlike the sour wine I've tasted before.He walked to his seat across fro

I'M JEALOUS OF NESSA

••AURELIA'S POV••"Are you seriously asking me this, princess?" Zayn smiled, placing a hand under my chin, and then slowly guiding my face to look at him. “Is this the part where you hit me as just you hit Derek?”I scoffed. “I just want to know if you enjoyed it.... Why bring unnecessary discussion into this?" He didn't answer immediately.Instead, he searched my face as if trying to understand why that question mattered so much to me.Finally, he smiled."Physically?" He asked quietly.My fingers tightened around the empty glass. "Yes."He gave a small nod. "Of course I enjoyed it. I'm not going to lie to you." His expression softened almost immediately. "But emotionally..." He slowly shook his head. "No."“Huh?” "If sleeping with Nessa had given me everything I wanted, I wouldn't still be looking for something I haven't found."He didn't say anything else after that. He simply held my gaze, his expression unusually calm.It felt as though there were more words sitting on the tip

YOU'LL OBSERVE

••AURELIA'S POV••“I don't know,” I admitted with a weary sigh, leaning back against the bench beneath the bleachers. “I've been trying not to think about it, but no matter how hard I've tried, I unable to bring myself to stop feeling jealous. Just knowing that Zayn has been sleeping with someone else while I'm... whatever I am to him... makes everything feel strange.”Cecile studied me quietly before folding her arms across her chest. “Then what are you waiting for? Just confront him.”“I already did.” I sighed in irritation.Her eyebrows lifted. “And?”“And he answered.” I let out another breath. “He explained everything, but somehow his answers only gave me more questions... The more he talks, the more confused I became.”She rested her chin on her hand, staring into the distance while deep in thought.One thing I admired about Cecile was the way her mind worked. Whenever a problem landed in front of her, she refused to accept it at face value. She would pull it apart piece by piec

DON'T MAKE IT A HABIT

••AURELIA'S POV••"Huh?""Can't you hear me properly?" The security guard sighed slightly. "I'm asking you, where is your student ID?" For a split second, my mind went completely blank and my heart skipped a beat.Of course… I hadn't thought this far ahead.I was so focused on finding Nessa that I'd completely forgotten I needed a believable reason for entering the academy.Then I forced out an awkward smile and tried my best to act pitiful to melt his heart.“I'm so sorry. My friend accidentally took my bag this morning. My ID was inside it, as soon as I get it, I'll bring it to show you, please excuse me for once, I can't be late than this, I'll be scolded if I miss this class…. It's very important to me, my grades depends on this.” The guard studied me from head to toe, the silence felt endless.I even let a few fake tears drop from my eyes, wiped them slowly showing the most vulnerable face of mine, eventually he stepped aside.“Enough… Enough, stop crying, I'm only letting you

YOU'VE GOT TEN SECONDS

••AURELIA'S POV••“I can do this,” I told myself before I started following behind Nessa and her group, the farther we walked away from the academy, the quieter the streets became.The lively chatter that had filled the school grounds gradually faded until only the occasional passing car and distant conversations reached my ears. I stayed several steps behind them, careful not to attract attention while reminding myself that I wasn't here to confront anyone.I only wanted answers.The four girls continued talking among themselves, laughing every now and then over stories I couldn't quite make out. More than once I questioned whether I was wasting my time. They looked like ordinary students walking home after class.Nothing about them seemed suspicious.Just as I was beginning to lose hope, one of the girls pointed toward the intersection ahead."See you tomorrow."The othe

THE TRUST I COULDN'T GIVE

••AURELIA'S POV•• “What do you think you're doing here, Aurelia?” The question came the moment the three girls disappeared around the corner, leaving nothing but an uncomfortable silence behind. I brushed the dust from my clothes before forcing myself to meet his gaze. “I just wanted to see the surroundings.” His expression remained unchanged. “No,” he replied quietly. “You're standing a few streets away from the baking school Nessa attends. You followed someone here, Aurelia. Were you spying on her?” I folded my arms across my chest, trying to hide how embarrassed I suddenly felt because of his accusation, I know what he said is true, but he has no right to question me in such a way. “Please, I wasn't. Besides, what are you doing here? You accuse me of spying, yet you somehow ended up finding me. Doesn't that make you the one following me? Or by any chance were you here to have fun with her in my absence?” A weary breath escaped him before he rubbed the back of his neck. “
