The ward in the school's clinic was surrounded by white walls glinting in the reflection of the white fluorescent light hanging at the center of the ceiling. The scent of medicine lingered in the air.A medical bed stood next to the wall, and Liam sat on it. Beside him was a worried Kiera and a nurse examining his wrist.Julian and Caleb stood to one side, watching anxiously.“It is nothing serious, just a wrist hyperextension,” the nurse spoke up.Caleb and Julian breathed a sigh of relief.Immediately, Liam sat up. “I told you it was nothing serious.”“But I heard a bone crack,” Kiera argued.“It was just the sound of my wristwatch breaking, stupid,” Liam mocked, his eyes glinting with annoyance.Not only had Kiera forced him to the clinic and made him lie on the bed as if his body were broken, but she had also made a female touch him.All because she had threatened to tell John what he had done.“Hands off me,” Liam said, pulling his hand away from the nurse’s grip.“What is your p

"You bitch," Liam murmured through gritted teeth, his left palm clutching himself in pain. His face was red all over, and the veins on his forehead were about to pop out.Kiera watched with a satisfied smirk and daring eyes. That only fueled Liam's anger further. He let go and straightened.His gaze focused on her as he approached her in small steps, his body radiating tension.If not for the loud music, Kiera was sure she would have heard the resolute sound of his footsteps.Just as Liam was a step away from reaching her, she raised her head and met his gaze head-on. Then she mouthed with a smug expression, "People are watching. Remember, you're a Cole."Liam stopped and looked around. Everyone had stopped dancing, and all eyes were focused on them.Liam's face clenched tightly. He gave her a look that promised a comeback before stumbling off.Kiera breathed a sigh of relief as she watched his back disappear. She didn't dare stand up. Instead, she rested in the chair and let the pain

"You still haven't figured out what's wrong with it?" Sienna asked, crouching beside Silas, who was inspecting the tyre."I've checked almost every part of the car. I can't pinpoint the problem," Silas murmured as he stood up."So, does that mean we're going to miss our reservation?" Sienna asked anxiously."That seems likely," Silas replied, pursing his lips. "It's night, mpossible to get a cab now."Sienna's face immediately fell. She had spent a long time securing a reservation at the couples' restaurant for their date tonight.But now, it seemed impossible to go.In frustration, Sienna kicked the tyre. "Damn you.""Hey, don’t be upset,"Silas said, placing a hand on her shoulder. "We can do something else.""Like what?" Sienna raised an eyebrow skeptically.Silas only smiled mysteriously. "You’ll find out soon enough."He led her out of the parking lot onto the street. The dark night stretched above them, casting a faint glow.After turning a corner, Sienna couldn’t help but ask, "

“Do you guys know her?” John repeated when none of them gave an answer to his question. “She does,” Liam replied. John turned towards Kiera. “Is that true?” “Yeah, she is some girl I know at school,” Kiera nodded. “Your friend,” Liam corrected. “Liam!” Kiera muttered through gritted teeth. She so badly wanted to shut him up with a punch. Liam remained unfazed. “She is her friend, and making that video was her order.” He pointed at Kiera. “I said she is not my friend, and I didn’t tell her to do anything,” Kiera replied, her expression livid. “Why would I even do that?” she added. “Because you wanted to ride on my popularity,” Liam stated. “You are ridiculous,” Kiera muttered, looking astonished. She didn't understand why he was so full of himself. “Enough,” John cut in between the argument. “Just get her to delete the video.” Liam, who had been calm throughout the conversation, asked, “Seriously?” “What?” John questioned. “You’re cutting her some slack? Is

Kiera's eyes lowered slightly. Trying to regulate her emotions, she instinctively said in her mind, I am just overthinking. Nothing is wrong.With that, her chest relaxed slightly, even though fear still lingered somewhere deep beneath it."I am leaving," Kiera declared, turning toward the door."Why not play with us?" Caleb suggested, his tone slightly higher than usual."Caleb," Liam's cold voice rang out.Kiera reached out for the handle, and Caleb asked, "Are you scared of Liam?"Kiera immediately paused in her actions and turned toward Caleb. "Scared of who?"Kiera's left eyebrow raised slightly. Caleb's words were one of the most ridiculous statements Kiera had ever heard. How could she be scared of Liam?"If you are not, then stay," Caleb said, his lips slightly raised in a taunting smirk.Kiera understood his game. He was just trying to manipulate her into staying, and she didn't want to.But when her gaze landed on Liam's dismissive expression, she said with a shrug, "Fine."
