Nathan appears shocked. I should still be angry at him, but... His eyes get this gleaming look, and I melt a little. I've never seen anyone look so grateful for a hamburger before. Nathan kind of reminds me of a starved alley dog. One that is more than twice my size and looks like a movie star...
Alice I'm nervous. Music blasts from the frathouse, and people are lining up the street. This is the first party I've ever been to, and I'm close to freaking out from the sheer pressure. What if people will find me boring? Will I even have fun here? What if, for some reason, that doesn't make s
"No, I want you, Jake," Winnie smiles. "Only you." A look of silent approval flashes over Jake's face seeing Winnie so happy. He looks ready to fight the world for her sake. I think he is into her. But so is Mark, his brother, who was flirting with her earlier. Speaking of the devil... "Winnie,
Nathan Alice and I make quite a team, and I'm having fun. "Down you go!" Alice shouts when she manages to push another girl off the shoulders of some random bloke. "Another victory for team Nathan and Alice! Let's go!" Water splashes in my eyes, and people whistle around the pool. I don't make a
"You wish!" Alice growls back. "I'm not going down, Winnie!" "Oh, you are, princess!" "Princess?!" Alice is angry now. "If I'm a princess, then you're a dwarf!" "I'm like two inches taller than you!" "Still a tiny-ass-motherfucker!" Alice counters. I'm having trouble not laughing. This was all
"You too drunk to walk on your own?" I ask. Too drunk to defend her pride, she laughs tiredly. "Kinda?" Smirking, I sweep her off her feet—Alice yelps in surprise. Her eyes widen, and I have to resist kissing her. Does she even know how cute she is? I smile at her. "I think you're just making up
Alice "My mom will kill me if I come home like this," I hiccup and laugh at how my voice sounds. Shit. I'm wasted. A wasted squirrel. Yup, that's me. I also feel kind of... Like, I don't know. I can't be bothered. "Fuck, she is wasted," Andrew's large hands land on my shoulders, and I smile up at
"Shit..." I whisper. "Mhm," Nathan yawns and sits up. He rubs the sleep from his eyes, and I stare at his naked chest. "Do you want breakfast?" "Umm..." "What was that?" Fuck, my heart is racing, and my IQ is dropping. "N-Nothing... I'm just... Shit... You're... You're..." Gorgeous. "I'm what?
Caroline After watching the hockey game, I’m still sitting on the bleachers. Rebel and Alice have left, but I’m waiting for Andrew to come and find me. My heart is pounding in my chest, and as soon as I hear a door open to my left, I realize that it’s now or never. I have to tell Andrew how I fee
Caroline Shame fills me when I look down from my seat in the ice arena. I'm here to watch Andrew's game, but so are Rebel and Alice. They are sitting a few rows below and shooting glances that fill me with guilt. I'm a terrible friend. Rebel had her operation recently. I never went to visit her
Caroline It feels weird sleeping in the same bed as Andrew. After the drama with Jonatan, Andrew refused to go home, and we fell asleep watching a movie. The problem is that I jerked awake again, and now my heart won't stop racing because my ex-boyfriend is cuddling with me. I glance to the side w
Caroline This must be hell. Andrew gave me time to think about us, and I didn't have it in me to turn him down right away. I will turn him down, but I will pretend to think about it to make him happy. In my world, that is giving someone false hope, but Andrew doesn't seem to agree. He is happy I
And what the hell, I didn't know he still liked me?! "Andrew... we were toxic together. All we ever did was fight and have makeup sex. Then we fought again. It was destroying us both. So no, I don't miss us at all." I'm a liar. I miss us, and we both know it. Andrew and I had bad days, but when he
Caroline "Take this pea package and hold it against your eye," I give the package to Andrew. He is sitting on a chair in my kitchen, shirtless because his t-shirt is red from his bleeding nose. Jonatan punched him in the face, which wasn't smart. Out of the two, my hockey friend is the better fig
Caroline and I hooked up after breaking up, and I thought she wanted me back. But it turns out she only wanted sex, and the next day, she went out with another guy. I called her a cheater because I didn't know our getting back together meant nothing to her. I was hurt, pissed off, and then she alm
Andrew I'm on the beach with Caroline. We are sitting on our sunbeds underneath the dazzling sun. I'm spread like a seastar while she sits with her knees bent to her chest. A water bottle is held by her hand, and I catch a droplet running down her chin as I eye her in secret. Since her scars ar
Caroline I'm sitting in the hospital lobby. It's time to leave, but Jonatan is too busy with some modeling gig to come and pick me up. Luckily, I got it covered: I was close to calling a cab an hour ago, but it seems Andrew got my back. He texted me and said he would pick me up from the hospital.
