RaidI will admit I was having way too much fun toying with Chance, and her mother walking past her room every five minutes was the cherry on top. The banter was cute. I almost didn't want to leave.But she literally threw me out and slammed the door in my face.She's feisty.Me likeee.I shook my head, chuckled and got on my bike.The cold wind slapped against my face as I sped through Ashford. It was the one time Ashford actually let its hair down. No fake smiles. No rich fake folks pretending they didn't actually hate each other's guts.That's the one thing I hated about this town.The pretense.I guess that's why Chance and her mother were like a breath of fresh air. They were real.Chance.I smiled underneath my helmet.Jesus.I'm smiling over a girl. Cass would never let me live this down.The traffic lights blurred past me while my thoughts kept circling back to her. The glasses. The attitude. The way she kept pretending she hated every second around me while blushing like craz

ChanceSaturday. Peaceful day. Well... until I almost died fixing my curtains."AND IIIIIIIIIII- " I sangThe curtain rod slipped from my hand."WILL ALWAYS LOVE- OH SHIT"I lost my balance immediately and fell straight off my bed with a painful thud.Silence.I stayed flat on the floor staring at my ceiling fan."...Fantastic."The song kept playing loudly in the background while my back screamed at me.I hate cleaning. But I had to, seeing as mom picked up another double shift at the hospital today. Meaning I had the house to myself.Finally. So I decided to clean.Five minutes later I was back on my feet like nothing happened, folding clothes while singing dramatically into my hairbrush.I tied my hair up messily before dragging my laundry basket across the room while music blasted loudly from my speaker. Honestly? The whole thing felt peaceful."Can somebody find meeee somebody to loooveee-"I pointed the hairbrush around my room and made moves that would make MJ jealous. Smooth.

RaidI needed an escape. Noah was asking for too much now and I couldn't refuse. I needed to clear my head before I punched the fucker. That's why I showed up at her house. Yes, I still needed tutoring but today was one of those days I just needed to get away and the only place I could think of was her house. The only person I could think of was her.Don't get me wrong, this ain't love. Hell nah. She's still annoying as shit but she surprisingly calms me down. More like her presence did. I ignored my buzzing phone as I parked my bike and stared at her house. I was actually debating like an idiot whether I should knock. I don't debate things, I just do them. But again , I found myself doing shit I don't usually do. Fuck it. After ten minutes of internal conflict, I did. I wasn't expecting what I saw.She was a mess in the sexiest way possible and I couldn't stop my eyes from roaming down her legs. She had on shorts, an oversized hoodie and her hair was a mop on her head. She looked….cu

RaidNoah was getting on my last nerves and I still couldn't bring myself to let them rough him up a bit. He had been calling non stop like I didn't already know what today was. I left Chance's house and drove straight to the ghetto.I pulled up at my secret hideout. No one knew about this place, not even Julian. It was an abandoned housing project deep in Claywood, the ghetto part of Ashford I discovered a few months back. I patched it up a bit but nothing too fancy, not enough to draw attention. Especially from the cops, seeing as they crawl through this area morning and night.The door creaked when I pulled it open. I dropped my helmet and picked up my duffel bag that had everything I needed for tonight. Looking around to make sure I hadn't forgotten anything, I grabbed the keys to my Kawasaki and pulled off.The industrial district smelled like burnt rubber. I had been coming here long enough to know the smell well and I hated it. I pulled my bike towards the main road and cut the

ChanceMy stomach really needs to stop doing that thing. It did it again when he pulled me flush against himself. I was both shocked and flushed. I never thought we would end up in that position. The staring thing didn't help either. I don't know what that was. But I knew he was acting a little different. Since Saturday, I had noticed a different side of him.He was really going slow like he promised. Which surprised me. I didn't expect him to show up at my house this morning offering me a ride. I always take the bus. I usually liked being by myself in the mornings. It's the only time I get to clear my head before the chaos starts. Hell, I had refused Selene every time she offered me a ride to school. She's going to flip when she sees me on his bike.I had never been on a bike before. The feeling was totally different from anything I had experienced. It was thrilling, exciting and a little dangerous. The way he dodged the cars like an expert. I knew he was going slow because of me so
