Everett (Steal My Girl by One Direction)In the blink of an eye, it's Monday again.I couldn't sleep well last night. I kept tossing and turning and my mind was everywhere at once.This morning, I made Amelia ride back to campus with me.By force, of course."I can take the bus," she protested the second I showed up at her front door."You're my maid, remember?" I said, opening the passenger door. "You're required to stay within three feet of me at all times."She glared at me like she was imagining twenty different ways to kill me.But it was very worth it, because I actually learned two things on that drive.One: Amelia Hart has the attention span of a goldfish. She spent ten minutes arguing with me, then another twenty singing along to songs she barely knew the lyrics to.Two: she commutes from Westside to campus almost every day.I hadn't known that.The girl has a talent for disappearing the second her classes end. Never hangs around campus. Never joins group conversations. Never

Everett (I Like Me Better by LAUV)As soon as practice ends, I climb into my truck and call Hart.She picks on the second ring.“Where you at?”“Tiffany’s Kitchen.”My brows furrow. Her voice sounds… off. And somewhere underneath it, someone's laughing. Male. Faint, I hear clearly."On my way." I hang up before she can ask questions.Thankfully, the guys all have plans.Cole's off singing karaoke with his girlfriend. Which sane man volunteers for that?Harper's probably buried somewhere in the music building.Spencer? I don’t know.I don't ask.I value my peace of mind very much.I can guess though. The man’s probably off doing something illegal. Or immoral.Probably both.In less than eight minutes, I arrive at Tiffany’s and step down from the vehicle.The moment I enter, I hear a couple of gasps and whispers. Used to ‘em.My eyes dart around until they land on... her. I ignore my surroundings as usual and let my feet lead me to the person I’m here for. She’s seated with her back t

Everett (Line Without a Hook by Ricky Montgomery)Some people lose sleep over exams. Others over money, some over Saturday's game.Me? I'm losing sleep because Amelia Hart wore my shirt.Seated at my desk, my fingers absentmindedly brushing against my lips, I stare into space.She looked like she'd been swallowed by that shirt...Yet somehow...She still looked so beautiful.Sigh.I don't know if I'm just too good at hiding it... or Hart's simply too blind to notice, but I've liked her since high school.Back then, we'd barely exchange a word and she'd disappear the second school ended and I'd only ever see her again back in Westside through my window.Now? She's around me every day, calling me an asshole every five business minutes.A chuckle slips out. Somehow... I've gotten used to it.The deal ends in two days. I frown.After Saturday... Are we really going back to pretending we don't know each other? To walking past each other in the hallways without exchanging a word?I scrub

Amelia (Cheerleader by OMI and Felix Jaehn)You know one sweet thing about being the captain of the volleyball team's maid?You get to ride with the team to their match.Right now, I'm seated beside Everett on the team bus as we head to Pitchers for today's friendly. The women's team had theirs last Saturday, and today, it's the men's turn.I steal a glance at Everett. His eyes are closed, one hand propping up the side of his face, his expression unreadable. He's barely said a word since we left the house this morning.Captain mode, most def.The closer we get to the arena, the quieter he becomes. I suppose that's the weight of being responsible for an entire team. Everyone's looking to you to lead. To win...A shiver runs down my spine. I don't think I'll ever know what that feels like, but I can imagine.Then there's the complete opposite sitting a few rows behind us. Spencer, Cole, and Harper. Goodness gracious. Those three have been laughing, arguing, and chanting loud enough to l
