Sophia’s pov My heart was beating so hard I was certain he could hear it. The question he had just asked kept echoing in my head.Don’t you like me?Yes. I liked him. But I didn’t know if it was only his face, or his voice, or the way he looked at me like I was worth pausing for. God, he was so handsome.“I know you like Lucian,” he started to say.I didn’t let him finish.“Do you like me?” I asked instead, turning the same question back on him.Max looked at me for a few long seconds. His eyes dropped to my lips. I swallowed hard even though there was nothing in my mouth.“I do,” he said quietly. “You’re pretty. I like that you approached me, Sophia.”The way he said my name again softer this time made my stomach flip. I asked another silly question before I could stop myself, and it earned me a small, amused smile.“Do you have a girlfriend?”“Girlfriend?” he repeated. “No.”“I might look like this,” he added quickly, “but I promise you I’m not what you think I am.”“I’m not thinki

Mia’s pov I got to school earlier than I wanted, the usual weight of irritation already sitting heavy in my chest. The parking lot was half-full, students spilling out of cars and laughing like the world hadn’t just tilted sideways overnight. And then I saw her.Sophia stepped out of the backseat of Lucian’s car with a smile on her face.She was smiling.She was damn smiling.Even with Lily and Lucian together.The sight hit me like a slap. Lily climbed out of the front passenger seat, looking all soft and freshly fucked, and Lucian’s hand lingered at the small of her back like he owned her. They walked off toward the main building side by side, talking in low voices, lost in their own little world. And Sophia? She just stood there by the open door, still smiling at nothing, cheeks faintly pink, eyes distant like she was replaying something private in her head.My jaw tightened so hard it ached.I still remembered the phone call. I had been close enough to hear Lily’s voice when she

Sophia’s pov I followed Max home without saying much on the drive. The city lights slid past the windows in soft streaks while my mind kept circling the same quiet decision: I would go inside, maybe sit for a little while, then leave before anything could cross a line I wasn’t ready to name. I told myself I wouldn’t stay the night. That was the plan.The moment we stepped into the house he locked the door behind us. I was still right behind him, closer than I realized. When he turned, the collision was sudden and unexpected. I stumbled, almost falling, but his hands caught me fast strong, steady, drawing me against his chest before I could hit the floor. That simple action nearly undid me. His breath brushed my cheek, warm and close. I tried to step back, only to feel the wall meet my shoulders. There was nowhere left to go.He was staring right into me, like he could see past every carefully built wall I kept around myself. His eyes dropped slightly to my lips. My legs went weak. Th

Sophia’s pov The sting on my cheek still burned when Lucian’s mother started firing questions at me like bullets.“Where the hell did you go since last night, Sophia? I called you over and over and you refused to come home. Who do you even know here? You’ve started making friends already? Don’t you know what you’re here for?”Each question landed harder than the last. I couldn’t even tell which one she wanted answered first. My hand stayed pressed against the place she had slapped, fingers trembling. Tears welled up and spilled over before I could stop them.“Is that why you slapped me?” I asked. My voice came out quieter than I expected almost small.I wasn’t planning to get angry. There was no point. I already knew Mia must have called her. There was no other reason for this level of fury. Something had happened that I didn’t fully understand yet, but I refused to waste energy fighting about it. I didn’t want Lucian anymore. I wasn’t going to chase him. I wasn’t going to explain my
