Hug me

_Harper's POVI stood outside Marla’s door for a long moment after the door closed behind me and heaved.My head spun from the thoughts of what I had just promised her, and I forced myself to inhale slowly before wiping the corner of my eye.“Harper?” Jace called as he made his way towards me.I startled, then forced a smile onto my face quickly.He furrowed his brow immediately.“Did you just come out of there?” he asked, surprised.I backed away from the door and nodded lightly.“Mm-hmm.”He frowned even more and stepped closer to me.“What were you doing in Dr. Marla’s room?”“Nothing.” I shrugged.“Nothing? You just came out of Mom’s room, looking like you cried,” he muttered, pointing at my face.“She just had a message about your grades,” I answered, trying hard to make that make sense.“The other subjects. You seem to be doing better in them than in the subjects I tutor you in,” I breathed.Jace nodded slowly, not quite convinced.“I did well because I can’t stand the tutors a

Run for prom queen

_Harper’s POVThe morning air slipped through the half-open window as Jace drove us towards school.His free hand rested lazily on the steering wheel while soft music played in the background.Every now and then, he reached over and intertwined our fingers for a few seconds before returning both hands to the wheel.Despite how happy I was right now, I still couldn’t beat off the feelings from last night’s nightmare and Marla’s words.Jace looked at me again like he could sense that there was something going on in my head, and I put on a smile quickly.I haven’t even figured out how to tell him that I want us to break up, but I know I have to decide how and break the news to him before he leaves after school today.The car soon pulled up in front of the school.“After I speak with Principal Reid this morning, I will meet with the school’s hockey team,” Jace said, and I nodded.I tightened my grip on the bag resting on my lap and suddenly remembered something important.“Oh.”I reached

As long as she is happy

_Harper's POVThe morning classes got my attention, pushing the worrying thoughts away from my mind until math class, and I found myself drawn away by different thoughts.My fingers brushed against the necklace resting against my collarbone, and I continued to reminisce about my decision until the class ended.Luckily, the teacher didn’t bother much with me, or I would have been scolded.The bell finally rang for lunch, and the teacher made her way out of the class.I gathered my books into my arms, intending to head to my locker before meeting Quinn.I had barely stood up when two girls suddenly appeared beside my desk."Harper?"I looked up, surprised as neither of them was from my class.They were juniors from tenth grade, and we hadn't had a chance to speak to each other before."Hi..." I answered cautiously.One of them smiled nervously before extending a neatly wrapped chocolate bar toward me."We... um...""This is for you."I blinked."For me?"She nodded quickly."Oh."My su

So much dust

_Harper's POV My heart was beating much faster than usual by the time I reached the school entrance.I spotted Jace near the school gates, surrounded by his teammates.Several girls crowded around him as well, handing him neatly wrapped gifts while wishing him success.He smiled politely as he accepted the gifts.I slowed to a stop a step away, not sure if I was able to face him and break the news to him.I couldn’t help but be afraid that the news might break him and hinder him from focusing on his training.But then another thought crossed my mind.We haven’t even been dating for long now.He shouldn’t be too sad about it.“Harper?” Jace called out to me, and the girls in front of him stepped aside.He waved with a smile and crooked a finger toward himself."C'mere."My heart melted.Every bit of determination I'd built during lunch disappeared immediately.I stopped slowly in front of him and watched the others leave quietly.Then I gave a tiny wave."Hi..." I murmured.He set al

A new stepbrother

_ Jace’s POV “Jace!” Harper protested and pulled her hands out of my hold. I pulled away, watching her struggle to catch her breath. I ruffled her hair and pulled her closer once more. “Don’t ever think of breaking up with me,” I whispered, embracing her. “I would never allow it.” She held on to my shirt, still unraveled, and buried her face in my chest. A loud murmur caught my attention from a distance, and I turned slightly to see a number of students flashing their cameras toward us. A number of them were giggling and whispering to each other. Harper lifted her head and gasped. "Oh my gosh." Her eyes widened. "They're taking pictures," she mouthed and lifted a hand to hide her face. I turned her toward the other side to shield her from the cameras even more and then turned toward the driver, who had already driven the car toward us. I pulled Harper along with me and opened the rear door. "Get in," I said, getting inside after her. “But I still hav

The one I like

_Quinn's POV cont."How did you get here?" I asked, walking across the room towards him.He turned back a little and also furrowed his brows."I just came in through the elevator..."I stared behind him and noticed the VIP sign written on the door he just walked out from.I had no idea his parents had that kind of money."You must be here for tonight." He said, rubbing his hands together.I nodded and turned around as Mom headed towards us."We meet again." She said, smiling at Austin."Yes, ma'am.""Just call me Diane."I rolled my eyes, seeing she is still not giving up on matchmaking me with him."You must also be here with your parents." She said, looking behind him."Yes." He answered."We will head in first." I cut in quickly and pulled Mom away from there."Where are we headed?" I whispered, a bit taken aback by the interior and designs of the restaurant."Upstairs. Charles booked us a table."I nodded, not giving it much thought, and tried to act as classy as I could.Two sta

All moms are weird

_Harper's POVMarla set down her phone and beckoned to one of the waiters to serve her some drinks, ignoring Mom.“Harper?” Mom turned to me, her eyes full of curiosity.Although it doesn’t make sense, the only reason I could think of why Marla could call Mom here like this is because of Jace and I.Before Mom could go on, Marla cleared her throat and folded her arms on the table.“I will not be able to accommodate your daughter in my house any longer.” she said.Mom’s brows furrowed quietly, and she turned towards me again.“I thought your daughter would be as disciplined as you while we were in school, but I had no idea she is simply too loose.”“Stop it right there, Marla.” Mom cut in, looking pissed.“What do you mean loose? Can you stop talking in parables and go straight to the point?” she asked.“Harper, what happened?” she asked.I heaved, surprised Marla would use such a low means as this.“Mom, it’s about…”Marla interrupted before I could even begin and grabbed her phone,

I'm pregnant

_Harper’s POV cont.I yawned terribly as I managed to get to school on time after waking up at three in the morning.I dragged my tired and hungry body towards my locker, wishing I had left some snacks or something inside I could eat.“Good morning to you,” Quinn said, appearing out of nowhere.“Here.” She stretched forth a wrap of chips to me.“You are the sweetest,” I muttered, tearing the nylon open and stuffing my mouth with it.“What happened with staying with Jace’s mother? Did she kick you out because of the video online?” she asked, like she could read my mind.I nodded, stuffing another chip in my mouth.I checked to see if we had enough time to discuss before class started, but we didn’t. The bell rang almost immediately, and we headed towards our classes.I turned to my phone as the math teacher went on to explain an equation, and I saw Jace had replied to my texts from last night.He also seemed very surprised and shocked to find out his mother had an ex-boyfriend.So did

I don't like you either

_Quinn's POVI got off the cab and headed inside the well-structured hall but paused when I spotted Austin.He leaned against the wall beside the entrance with one leg stretched out while the other remained firmly planted on the ground.His arms were folded across his chest with his head lowered.The first thought that came to my mind was if something had happened and the marriage couldn’t go on.I walked closer and stopped in front of him."Why aren't you going in?"He lifted his head slowly and looked at me."Because I'm sad," he answered.I blinked, perplexed."You're... sad?"The moment the question left my lips, I regretted asking."Why?"His lips curved into a small smile that didn't reach his eyes."Because I was planning to stop this marriage from happening, but it seems like I won't get a chance to."I stared at him for a few seconds, completely lost for words.What exactly was I supposed to say to that?I cleared my throat and stepped closer, placing a hand casually on his

Not depend on men

_ Quinn’s POV cont.The four of us stepped outside the hall soon enough, with Charles and Mom taking the lead.I heaved, rubbing both of my shoulders, and removed my hair tie to do it again properly.Charles called Austin over, and they moved a short distance away to talk.Mom turned towards me, keeping the certificate in her purse."I'm sorry about how quickly everything happened," she said with a sigh."I know I should have spoken to you first and asked for your blessing before deciding to get married immediately."I shook my head."It's okay.""No, it's not."She squeezed my hands."When I found out I was pregnant this afternoon, I wanted to talk to you first. But you weren't picking up your phone, so I called Charles."She smiled faintly."He suggested we get married immediately and said that if we were going to have a child together, we should give the baby a home."I nodded slowly.That actually made sense."I understand."I looked into her eyes."And I'm genuinely happy for yo
