1. STANGER DANGER

SKYLAR POVMy phone buzzed against the pillow for the third time, and I already knew who it was before I even looked. Emma's face filled the screen, her bedroom lit up behind her with fairy lights, Kyle's voice yelling something in the background about his shirt not fitting right anymore."Skylar, pick up for real this time," Emma said the moment I answered, like she could feel me hesitating through the screen."I'm here," I said, propping myself up against my headboard. My textbooks were still spread out around me, highlighters uncapped, notes half finished for a class that hadn't even started yet. "What's up?""There's a party tonight. Big one. Everyone's going." Kyle's face shoved into frame next to Emma's, grinning like he already knew my answer and planned to argue with it anyway."I can't. Classes start tomorrow and I haven't even finished organizing my schedule.""It's one night," Emma said, drawing the word out like it physically pained her to hear me say no. "You can study li

2. RECKLESS PROXIMITY

SKYLAR POV My heart was still slamming against my ribs when he finally tore his eyes away from me and turned back to the board, like nothing had happened. Like he hadn't had his hands all over my body less than twelve hours ago."Find a seat," he said to the class, his voice calm, controlled, nothing like the husky whisper that had been in my ear the night before.I didn't move at first. Emma nudged me from behind, whispering something about how I looked like I'd seen a ghost. If only she knew.Somehow my legs carried me to an empty seat near the back, far enough that I could still breathe, close enough that I could feel his presence like static in the air. Kyle dropped into the chair beside me, completely unaware, already pulling out his notebook and complaining about how early the class was."You good?" he asked, glancing at me. "You look pale.""I'm fine," I lied, my eyes fixed on the man at the front of the room.He turned to the board and wrote his name in neat, deliberate lette

3. COLLATERAL DAMAGE

LUCIAN'S POVThe club was loud, packed with people who thought they belonged there because they could afford the cover charge. I owned every square foot of it, yet most nights it bored me senseless. Tonight was different. Tonight there was a girl sitting alone at the bar, nursing a drink she clearly hated, looking completely out of place in the best way possible.I couldn't stop staring at her.She had this look about her, like she'd rather be anywhere else, and something about that pulled me in harder than any girl who'd ever walked through my doors trying too hard to get my attention. She wasn't trying at all. That was the point.I crossed the floor before I even decided to move, dropping onto the stool beside her like I had every right to be there. Because I did. I owned the damn building."You look lonely," I said.She turned, and fuck, up close she was even more beautiful. Soft features, wide eyes that held something guarded behind them, lips that I already knew I wanted on mine

4. BEHIND CLOSE DOORS

SKYLAR POV Three days into the semester, and I still hadn't figured out how to breathe normally whenever I was in the same room as him. Physics was the only class on my schedule that made my hands shake before I even walked through the door.Emma thought it was hilarious. Kyle thought it was a disaster waiting to happen. I thought both of them needed to mind their business, but neither of them listened, which was exactly why I was standing outside Professor Cross's office on a Thursday afternoon instead of heading home like a normal person.I told myself it was about the syllabus. There was a lab report due next week, and I genuinely had questions about the formatting requirements. That was the only reason I was here. Definitely not because some reckless part of me wanted an excuse to see him outside of a lecture hall full of witnesses.I knocked before I could talk myself out of it."Come in."His voice did something unfair to my stomach, same as it had that first night, same as it

5. ROOMMATE ROULETTE

SKYLAR POV I stepped out and rushed down the hallway, my heart still hammering from everything that had just happened in that office. I made it out only to be met with Emma and Kyle, both of them waiting right outside like they'd somehow sensed exactly where I'd been.They scanned my face the second they saw me, eyes narrowing, taking in every detail I was desperately trying to hide. I knew I was getting too close for my liking. I just couldn't help but be tempted."It happened again, didn't it?" Kyle asked, arms crossed, though there wasn't any real judgment in his voice, just concern.I sighed and looked away, unable to meet either of their eyes."Do you like him?" he asked, quieter this time.I nodded, finally looking back up. "I... he makes me feel good. I've never felt like this before. You guys know that," I said, running my fingers through my hair, trying to find some composure I clearly didn't have anymore.Emma reached out and squeezed my arm gently. "We know. We're not judg
