All Chapters of The Captain Doesn't Know I'm A Girl : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

"You guys are turning around in the next seven minutes," Mr. Zack called out, his eyes glued to the camera monitor."What?" I hissed, nudging Nico. He had gone completely silent, his breathing turning heavy and ragged against my neck. Without him saying a word, I got my answer. I felt something hard pressing right against me. "Right here?" I whispered in sheer disbelief, my face burning.He let out a strained groan. "It's not my fault. It's only reacting like this because you're so close to me." He spoke slowly, like he was fighting to keep his voice steady."So it's my fault now?" I scoffed, totally exasperated by his logic. "Just make it go away.""It doesn't work like that, not when we're trapped in this position," he muttered, exhaling sharply. I tried to shift away, but the movement only caused my backside to brush against him. Nico instantly gripped my hand, squeezing it tightly but carefully. "Just stay still. You're making it worse.""I really should have done this shoot with

JADE"Why do you want to know?" I snapped, a sudden wave of defensiveness sharp in my chest."Because I want to be the perfect boyfriend for her." His voice dropped, taking on a quiet, grounded weight that caught me completely off guard.My heart did a nervous, erratic flip. Shock and a strange prickle of panic flared inside me, but there was absolutely no way I was going to let him see that. I wasn't about to entertain this nonsense."Don't waste your time, Captain. She doesn't feel the same way about you." I forced a cool, discouraging edge into my tone. "And besides, isn't Isabella your girlfriend?" The question slipped out before I could stop it. It shouldn't have mattered to me, but a sudden, tight curiosity gripped me, demanding to know the truth.He stood up, stretched, and then sank onto the couch. That familiar, lazy expression crawled back onto his face as if it had never left, masking whatever he was truly feeling. "No, she isn't. We're just Fuck partners," he murmured, tos

Nico:I panicked as I searched around, my pulse racing so hard I could feel an instant, piercing ache throbbing through my skull.Shit, my mom was going to completely kill me.This was the very first time I had ever taken my sister out to the park, and now she was just gone."Boba," I called out, my voice cracking under the pressure. "Coco, where are you, girl?"God, if I could just find my sister, I would do anything for you. Anything. My mom was seriously going to butcher me. I was so desperate at this point that if someone asked me to give up my own arm just to get her back safe, I would have done it without thinking twice."Coco," I breathed, my eyes finally locking onto the person holding her.It was the one girl I had been searching for, the whole reason I came to this stupid park in the first place. It was Jade. Her blue eyes stared daggers right through me, looking at me as if I had committed some kind of dangerous sin.I managed to take my sister back from her arms after st

Third Person pov:"Unlike other kids, we don't get to choose who we want to be or what we want to do for a living." Jace let out a slow, heavy breath, offering her a faint, sad smile. "My dad does all the choosing for us.""That's awful." Isabella stepped closer to him, her heart aching a bit at his expression. "But he knows you're an artist, right? He supports that?""No," Jace whispered, looking down. "That's why I have to keep this place a secret. I need to hide it for as long as I can, at least until I figure out my next move."Isabella stood right beside him. Wanting to comfort him, she gently stroked his hair. The small gesture seemed to break something in him. Jace leaned in close, wrapping his arms tightly around her waist as he rested his head against her.The sudden warmth caught her off guard, and she froze for a second. But as his grip tightened, she relaxed, letting her shoulders drop. He tilted his head up, his gaze locked onto hers."Please don't be too hard on Jade," h

JADE:This comment warmed my heart a little, but I still scrolled through to find his pictures with Isabella. A jealous knot tightened in my chest; I wanted to see if they looked better together than we did. Instead, I found nothing.I kept scrolling all the way to the end, but the feed only showed solo shots of him. I sat upright, a sudden wave of relief washing over me. He had deleted the pictures.~This doesn't mean anything~, I told myself, trying to calm the sudden flutter of butterflies competing for space in my stomach. He explicitly told me Isabella was just his 'fuck partner', yet he still posted a picture they took together. I shouldn't feel special.I stood up to get ready for my appointment, rushing into the bathroom for a quick shower. I dressed in a simple, short denim skirt and a knit crop top that barely covered my navel piercing.My eyes had been so blurry and strained lately from stress, so I slid on my prescription glasses.I headed for the door, then froze.
