My Rival My lover
He was standing close to me, much closer than how friends were supposed to be. “Ja…cob, what's the problem? what are you doing?” I stammered,
“The problem is today is the last day of our stay in this hell hole, and probably the last we see of each other,” he said, his voice dark.
“I…we can call, or maybe visit…” I was saying when his lips crashed on mine, sealing my heart.

Chapter: Chapter 20: Luke Alex’s POVI woke up to the sound of my phone vibrating against the wooden bedside table. My heart skipped a beat, part of me expecting it to be Amanda, or worse, Andrian. The screen flashed with an unfamiliar number. Frowning, I hesitated before picking up. “Hello?” “Good morning, boyfriend,” a familiar voice chimed, teasing and casual. “Luke?” I blurted out, my brain struggling to catch up. “What did you just call me?” “Boyfriend. You said yes yesterday, remember?” I frowned, sitting up. “What are you talking about? I don’t recall agreeing to anything.” “Oh, come on, Alex. Don’t play dumb.” I could hear the grin in his voice. “After detention yesterday, when I asked if we could give this a shot, you didn’t say no.” “Not saying no doesn’t mean yes!” I shot back, my voice sharper than I intended. “Well, I’m taking it as a yes,” he said with infuriating calm. “And besides, you’re way too cute to say no to me.” I rolled my eyes, already regretting answering the call. “Luke, I…

Chapter: Chapter 19: The GambleAlex povIt wasn’t until 5 p.m. that the teacher in charge of our detention released us. I was already beyond frustrated. The day was slipping away, and I was stuck at school, staring into space, when I should have been at Amanda’s house cleaning. Today was payday, and missing it wasn’t an option, no matter how late it was. Not even when an annoying, frustrating boy like Luke was breathing down my neck. “What do you want, Luke?” I asked for what felt like the hundredth time since detention started. His response? The same infuriating smile. “I just want to escort you home. Chillax, man, I don’t bite.” “No! I can find my way home. I don’t need you for that,” I snapped, stepping back instinctively. There was no way I was letting him see where I lived. My thoughts spiraled with all the possible outcomes of him knowing. He was an elite, for Christ’s sake. His sudden goodness was suspicious. “You look cute when you’re angry,” Luke said casually, catching me completely off guard. I st

Chapter: Chapter 18: picking up the piecesAlex pov The morning sun streamed into my room, mocking me with its warmth and brightness. I pulled the blanket over my head, wishing I could disappear. My chest still ached with the weight of humiliation, and the memory of yesterday haunted me. Andrian’s smirk, the crowd’s laughter, the whispers, they all played on a loop in my head. “Alex?” My mom’s voice drifted in softly, followed by a gentle knock. I didn’t answer. I couldn’t. I didn’t want to see anybody, especially my mother. “Alex, I’m coming in.” The door creaked open, and her footsteps stopped just inside. “You’ve been in here all morning. You’re going to be late for school.” “I’m not going,” I muttered, my voice muffled by the pillow. “Alex, you can’t just…” “I said I am not going mum, just drop it” “Alexi, what happened? Did anybody hurt you or bully you…” she was saying “Mom, please!” I snapped, my words sharper than I intended. “Just leave me alone! I don't need you breathing down my neck!!” Silence stre

Chapter: Chapter 17: Shattered heartAlex povThe boy that had been staring at me throughout today. The strange elite. “What are you doing here?” I demanded, my voice hoarse from crying. He leaned casually against the doorframe, his arms crossed as he studied me. “I could ask you the same thing. Look around this place. I came to take a shot.”His tone was light, almost teasing, but it only fueled my frustration. But I couldn’t help but look around at the shed. There were rows of packs of cigars and lighters arranged on the desk close to the wall. The walls were filled with posters of rock stars and famous artists. The decor of the room was plain, but it was a hideout. But for who. Fear crept inside me. “Are you stalking me?” I snapped, rising to my feet. “Because if you are, you can forget it. I don’t need your pity or your fake concern.” “Whoa, relax,” he said, raising his hands in mock surrender. “I’m not stalking you. I just happened to notice you running out of the school like your life depended on it. Thought I

Chapter: Chapter 16: crushing feelingsAlex pov I wasn’t supposed to feel this way. He wasn’t mine to want, in the first place. And yet, the pain was real. I felt like the walls were closing in on me, the sound of their voices still echoing in my mind. My fingers trembled as I wiped my eyes, brushing away the hot tears that betrayed my resolve. I couldn’t stay there. I couldn’t bear to listen to another moment. The world outside felt colder than it had just moments ago, as if the air itself knew the storm brewing inside me. My steps faltered as I wandered aimlessly through the hallways. Andrian and June. It wasn’t just a crush anymore. It was a brutal reminder of where I stood in his world, a forgotten piece of trash. Always on the outside, looking in. This was real. And it was high time I stopped fooling myself, stopped clinging to the illusion that the Jacob I’d met, the boy with the soft laugh and kind eyes, was the same Andrian who now treated me like I don't exist. I couldn’t imagine the distance that

Chapter: Chapter 15: Shattered heartsAlex povJosh’s grin faltered for a moment, but he quickly recovered. “What’s the matter, Alex? Can’t fight your own battles? Gotta hide behind your girlfriend?” Linda scoffed. “If being a decent human being makes me his girlfriend, then sure. Now leave him alone.” I blinked, caught off guard by what Linda said, but now was not the time to think about it. The tension crackled in the air, and for a moment, I thought Josh might actually back down. But his smirk returned, meaner this time. “The worst thing you did in your life is insult an elite. Let’s see how tough you are, strong boy,” he said, lunging forward. Before he could do anything, the sharp whistle of the sports director sliced through the chaos. “What’s going on here?” the director barked, his eyes narrowing as he looked between us. “Nothing, mr clark” Josh said, stepping back and raising his hands in mock innocence. The director furrowed his eyes, not buying it, but what could he do. Josh was among the elites of the s
