TRENT'S POV

The lunch bell finally rang and I jumped up more than ready to get out of class. My phone buzzed and I glanced down to see a text from Lucinda, my sort - of - girlfriend, if you could even call her that.

More like a convenient hookup when I'm in the mood.

Heyy Sexy, meet me at 5 in the equipment room. I want that hard body of yours pressed against mine:)

I rolled my eyes, but felt myself getting hard. Lucinda may be clingy annoyance most of the time, but she's smoking hot and always down to fool around.

Sure thing baby, can't wait to get my hands on you:) I quickly texted back.

After that little scene with Ella earlier where I didn't get as much of a reaction as I'd hoped, I was definitely in the mood to blow off some steam.

I hated how that mousy girl always acted so superior, not to mention she dating my nemesis, Damien. We'll see how high and mighty she feels with my hands up her skirt. Just thinking about messing with her gets me fired up.

I stepped into the dark room and spotted Lucinda curvy figure on the gym mats. Her skirt was sinfully short, showing off her long legs.

She twirled a lock of blonde hair around one finger, giving me a seductive look through her dark lashes.

"I've been waiting for you," She pouted.

I stepped closer, my eyes roving hungrily over her large boob's barely contained in that tiny tank top. She reached out to grasp my shirt, pulling me against her.

"Come here and help me relax, big guy." She breathed into my ear before nibbing the lobe. Just like that my earlier annoyance melted away as raw desire took over. She sighed against my mouth as I fiercely captured her lips, wasting no time shoving my tongue inside.

My hands roamed her body and I slid a hand up her skirt, finding she had conveniently left her panties off.

"You're such a naughty girl, Lu." I murmured against her neck. Grabbing her hair, she gasped as I tilted her head to access her neck biting down hard enough to leave a mark. She squealed, clearly getting off on the roughness.

"Oh God, do that again Trent! Mark me," she pleaded breathingly. I sinked my teeth in deeper as she scratched her nails down my back. Trailing kisses down her jawline, to her nipple down to her thighs, my hands slid under her skirt rubbing her wet clit.

"I want to feel your big hard C*CK deep inside my wet pussy, now fuck my brains out before lunch ends." Her words sent blood rushing straight downwards.

Needing no further invitation, I unbuckled my belt and thrusted into her pussy slowly. She moaned loudly as I increased my pace. Her cries filled the room as I took out my frustration fucking her roughly on the mat.

Just then, the equipment room light suddenly flashed on.

"Shit!" We broke apart and I scrambled to pull my trousers up while Lucinda fixed her ruffled skirt. I turned with a glare ready to cuss out whoever dared interrupt.

But the words died on my lips when I saw coach Robert looking pissed with his arms crossed. Crap.

"What in God's name is going on in here?" He demanded.

I quickly regained my composure and gave him a casual shrug. No way would I look ashamed. "Oh, hey coach! Lucinda and I were just...... Hanging out."

Coach scowled, "Looked a lot more than hanging out! You aren't even on the damn team, Trent. What makes you think you can fool around in my equipment room."

I met his glare and held myself taller, "Actually coach, about that - I'm joining the basketball team this year."

"You what?" Coach opened his mouth in shock.

"See you at tryouts, coach," I replied smoothly patting him on the shoulders as Lucinda and I brushed past him.

We hurried out as I called back, "looking forward to being on the team!" I slammed the door loudly behind us.

"That was close," Lucinda said and giggled. "Think he'll let you on the team after seeing that."

I scoffed, "please, a few little strings will be pulled and I'll be on the court in no time."

"We should probably go grab something before lunch ends." I suggested.

I pushed through the cafeteria door forcefully, letting them bang loudly against the walls.

We walked past Ella's table and I noticed some tension. Damien looked furious like he had just finished a heated argument. Ella shot me a death glare and I met hers with a smirk which made her even more pissed off.

Lucinda squeezed my hand harder and leaned into me, likely trying to stake her claim. I fought the urge to shake her off in front of everyone

Grabbing our food, we sat at a table near Ella and her friends. Lucinda possessively guided me into my seat before plopping herself directly on my lap.

I cringed as she wrapped her arms around my neck and began placing sloppy kisses along my jaw.

"Get off me," I growled under my breath, firmly pulling her clingy arms from around my neck.

"Come on baby, I want you." She purred in my ear.

"Chill out," I Said sharply. "Not here."

She pouted, crossing her arms with a huff. "You weren't saying that ten minutes ago"

Before I could respond, my buddies Liam and connor placed their trays down on the table.

Liam cleared his throat, "So where did you two disappear right after the bell?"

Lucinda grinned twirling a strand of her hair around her finger. "Oh, Trent and I had a hot little session in the equipment room." She trailed a nail down my chest. "Wasn't it fun, babe?"

I rolled my eyes as she called me babe and shrugged her off. "Yeah, until coach busted in and caught us."

"No fucking way!" Connor exclaimed. "Did you get in trouble?"

I scoffed. "Please. I smoothly informed him I'd be trying out for the team this year."

"Seriously, Bro?" Liam looked shocked. "It's about damn time! We've missed having you out on the court with us"

"Yeah man, with you playing we'll crush those pussies this season." Connor added, referring to our rivals.

I was one of the best players on the middle school team until...... Well some things happened sophomore year I prefer not to dwell on. Quitting was one of my biggest regrets. I did it for someone at the time , but I've decided not to dwell on the past anymore.

With basketball tryout coming up, why not give it another shot.

"So does Mr Star Athlete, AkA Damien know about this yet?" Liam asked, jerking his chin towards Damien. I frowned at the mention of his name, just the thought of that bastard made my blood boil. I will definitely put him in his place this season.

"Who cares what he thinks?" I said dismissively, though my hands curled into fists. He's in for a rude awakening when his star status comes crashing down."

"We should celebrate your return to the team!" Liam said suddenly. "My folks are gonna be out tonight so party at my place, bro."

I grinned. "Now you're speaking my language." I needed to blow off some steam.

As Liam and Connor discussed party plans, I felt eyes burning into me. Glancing over, I caught Ella still shooting daggers at me with those sexy eyes. Maybe I'll invite her to the party, see if I can get under that perfect skin some more. God, she's hot when she's feisty.

Just then, Lucinda snapped her fingers in my face to get my attention. "Um, who were you just checking out?" She demanded.

I quickly schooled my features. "No one. I'm just distracted thinking about tryouts."

She clearly didn't believe me, following my gaze to Ella. Lucinda's face clouded over angrily.

"Ugh, you were totally checking Ella out. Do you have a thing for her or something?" She accuse

"Don't be ridiculous," I scoffed.

Liam said, riling things up. "Yo Lucinda, you gonna let Ella make eyes at your man like that?" he goaded.

Lucinda slammed her hands on the table, cheeks flaming. Before I could stop her, she marched right over to Ella's table. Crap. This won't end well. But hey, at least the show should be entertaining.

Why are you eyeing my man, you ugly little skank?" Lucinda seethed. "I see the way you look at him. Back off, Trent wants a real woman, not some bony, flat-chested bitch like you!"

Damn! That would hurt pretty bad. How dare she talk to Ella that way? I was about to snap at Lucinda when I froze, shocked at my own reaction. Why did I even care? It's not like Ella and I are friends anymore. She could defend herself.

I watched tensely as Ella slowly rose from her seat, leveling Lucinda with an icy stare.

"First off, I would never want your sloppy seconds," Ella said coolly, disgust etched on her face as she eyed Lucinda up and down. "And second, Trent can have you. I feel sorry for any girl desperate enough to spread her legs for that arrogant pig."

I scowled, stung by her words. But also...kind of turned on? The fire in Ella's eyes as she insulted me was sexy as hell.

Lucinda looked ready to explode.

"Why you little..." Lucinda launched herself at Ella, but Susan quickly jumped up and held her back.

"Get a grip!" Susan snapped at Lucinda. Then she turned and pointed a finger sharply at me. "And you - take your attack dog away from our table before I really give her something to cry about."

I held up my hands in mock surrender. This was getting too dramatic even for my liking.

As I looked over at Ella's table, I noticed Damien hadn't said a word this whole time. Oddly quiet for someone so quick to assert his male dominance usually.

A devious idea struck me then. This was the perfect opening to get under his skin.

I walked over to Ella's table, clearing my throat. "What's wrong, Damien? Cat got your tongue?" I smirked. "Not even gonna defend your girl after she was so rudely accosted?"

I saw Damien's jaw tighten, his hands curling into fists under the table. But he remained silent. Too much of a coward to confront me.

"Nothing to say?" I pushed him further, crossing my arms. I was just getting warmed up. "Guess all those muscles are just for show if you can't even stand up for your so-called girlfriend."

At that, Damien shot to his feet. His face was red with poorly contained fury. Gotcha.

"You wanna say that again asshole?" he spat through gritted teeth.

Ella quickly jumped between us. "Enough, Damien!" she yelled. But Damien roughly shoved her aside, his glare fixed murderously on me

"I mean it! Say one more word and see what happens."

I met his glare steadily, refusing to back down. I opened my mouth to respond when a sudden fist came flying at my face.

    Trent's PovI barely had time to react before Damien's fist collided with my Jaw in a powerful right hook. The force of the blow knocked me back a few steps, pain exploding across my face. I tasted blood in my mouth from where my teeth had cut the inside of my cheek"You asked for it, Jerk!" Damien growled, spitting towards me. I touched my throbbing cheek and glanced around the cafeteria. Everyone wore sorry looks clearly thinking Damien had won. But I'll be damned if I let him make me look like a fool in front of the whole school!As Damien turned back ready to leave, I darted forward, spun him around and slammed my shoulder into his gut. He doubled over with a grunt.I brought my knee up hard, catching him under the chin. Damien wobbled but stayed on his feet. As he reared back to throw another wild punch, fury sharpened my reflexes and I dodged it easily. I tackled him around the waist, driving him into a nearby table. He crashed into the plates and food scattered everywhere."

    ELLA'S POVI finally got home after the long day. All I wanted was to go to my room and collapse on my bed. But when I entered the house, I was surprised to see Mom sitting on the couch, flipping through a magazine."Mom? What are you doing home so early?" "What, I can't come home to my own house now?" She replied with a small chuckle.I laughed lightly. "No, of course you can. I just figured you'd still be at the salon." "I decided to close up early for once. With so few customers , it wasn't worth staying open. Figured I'd come home and relax a bit."I nodded, though I felt a bit worried. Business at the salon had been slow lately. It was our main source of income, since Dad left. I tried not to stress too much about it though. Mom always seemed bright, even when money was tight."Rough day?" she asked, patting the couch cushion next to her. I sank down with a sigh, letting my heavy backpack slide to the floor."Just long," I said, not wanting to get into the whole story. "Aw, my

"Oh thank god, you're awake!" Susan cried out.I forced my eyes open again, squinting against the brightness. Susan's worried face came into focus above me. I was lying on the cold tile floor. What happened? Then it all came crashing back - walking in on Damien with Amelia. The image flashed before my eyes and I groaned. Please let it have been a nightmare...But one glance to my right dashed that hope. There was Amelia, using her small crop top to cover her boobs.I shakily got to my feet, glaring daggers at her. Damien immediately stepped toward me looking concerned. "Thank god, you're awake!" Damien said in relief, moving toward me. I recoiled from him in disgust"You caused all this Ella, I fucking told you to come by at 7!"His audacity to be upset with me made my blood boil even hotter. I wa

"If I really heard your silly suggestion right, then you must have lost your mind!""Why not? We'd look damn good together and you know it," Trent wagged his eyebrows up and down.My eyes narrowed, irritation rising. The audacity of this guy, suggesting something so ridiculous! I should shut him down right now."Seems like you have nothing intelligent left to add to this conversation. I'm leaving!"I declared, spinning sharply on my heel. But I only made it a few feet before Trent's amused voice followed me."You'll be back in no time, Ella! And I'll be waiting right here."I paused mid-step, hands clenching. "Let's make a little wager on that, shall we?" Trent called out.I set my jaw and strode off without looking back. The nerve of him! As if I would ever come crawling back to him for help.I made my way to the bus stop, still fuming.

I scowled at him. "You don't know my mom's eating habits. Dinner rush is her favorite time to dine out!" To my immense frustration, Trent remained unmoved. "Sorry princess, but I'm hungry now and this is where I want to eat. You'll just have to risk it."Before I could object further, Trent swung sharply into the parking lot. I sank down in my seat, peering toward the salon, praying my mom wouldn't look out the window and spot me getting out of Trent's flashy vehicle. Luck seemed to be on my side as Trent found a spot in the back, far from view of the salon entrance. After cutting the engine, he turned to me with a wolfish grin. "Ready for our secret date?" "This is not a date!" I hissed. "This is a hostage situation!"Trent threw back his head with a loud laugh. "You say potato, I say hos

Why'd you already come in for dinner without us?"Wait a second...she wasn't looking at me after all? I risked a subtle glance over my shoulder and spotted Veronica, another one of my mom's salon clients, sitting a few tables back waving her hands"Oh, I'm so sorry, these pregnancy cravings of mine just demanded immediate attention," Veronica called back, patting her round belly. I wanted to collapse in gratitude over this lucky coincidence. That had been way too close."And here I was ready for the showdown of the year with you and Mama," Trent chuckled.I smacked his chest, watching cautiously as mom with her chatting friends began weaving between tables toward us.

I reluctantly dragged my gaze up to meet his glare. I wouldn't give him the satisfaction of looking away first, no matter how much his disappointment stung."Do you have any idea the position you've put me in?" he continued, jabbing an accusatory finger in my direction.

Crystal chandeliers sparkled overhead, casting a warm glow over our little group huddled around one of the many round tables. Large flat-screen TVs mounted on the walls played a slideshow of our high school memories.Connor's face turned beet red as he playfully shoved Liam. "Oh yeah? What about the time you accidentally set off the fire alarm trying to impress Dolly with your 'mad science skills'?"Dolly giggled, leaning into Liam's side. "I thought it was cute! Even if we did have to stand outside in the rain for an hour."I couldn't help but smile, taking a sip of my champagne. "God, we were such disasters back then.

As I neared the climax of my performance, I could feel the energy of the audience pulsing through the air.With one final leap, I landed in my ending pose, chest heaving and sweat on my skin. For a moment, there was silence. Then, like a dam bursting, the applause erupted. The sound washed over me that left me breathless.I straightened up, a wide smile spreading across my face as I took in the sea of faces before me. There, in the front row, sat some of the most respected names in dance. Critics, choreographers, fellow dancers - all on their feet, clapping and cheering.As I made my way off stage, I was immediately surrounded by a swarm of people. Hands reached out, voices called my name, all clamoring for a piece of my attention."Ella! Ella! Can I get your autograph?""Ms. Thompson, that performance was breathtaking!""Ella, when's your ne

I stood apart from the crowd, watching as my classmates tossed their caps into the air, their laughter and cheers filling the courtyard.I looked down at my own cap, running my fingers over the tassel. Then, with a deep breath, I flung it skyward, watching as it spun through the air before disappearing into the sea of black and gold.As I searched the crowd for my cap, a familiar voice called out behind me. "Ella! We did it!"I turned to see Susan racing towards me, her gown billowing behind her like a superhero's cape. She crashed into me, wrapping me in a bone-crushing hug that nearly knocked us both over."Can you believe it? We're officially high school graduates!" Susan squealed, jumping up and down while still clinging to me.I couldn't help but laugh, her excitement infectious. "I know, it's crazy!"Amelia appeared at our side, her perfe

    ELLA'S POV The guest speaker's voice droned on, barely penetrating the fog of my thoughts. I shifted in my plastic chair, my graduation gown suddenly feeling too tight. My eyes wandered across the sea of black caps, finally landing on a familiar pair of figures.Ryan and Susan sat a few rows ahead, their heads tilted towards each other in quiet conversation. A small smile tugged at my lips as I watched Ryan's hand slip into Susan's, their fingers intertwining. Thank God they finally worked things out. As if sensing my gaze, Susan turned, her eyes meeting mine. Her face lit up with a warm smile, mouthing a silent "Thank you" in my direction.I nodded back, genuinely happy for them both. But as I turned away, a familiar discomfort bloomed in my stomach. It started as a dull ache, quickly escalating into a churning sensation that made me grip the edges of my seat. I swallowed hard, willing the nausea to subside.This wasn't the first time. For the past two weeks, these waves had becom

    ELLA'S POVThe summer sun beat down on us as we streamed out of the auditorium, a sea of black gowns and square caps. I squinted against the brightness, my hand instinctively reaching for Tom's. His fingers intertwined with mine, warm and comforting, yet not quite right.I forced a smile, trying to ignore the hollowness in my chest. "It's so awkward, right? Us being together like this."Tommy's eyes met mine. "We'll make it work, Ella. We have to."And we did, in a way. The past few months had been a whirlwind of pretending, of plastering on smiles and playing the part of the perfect couple. It was easier than facing the truth - that Trent was gone, possibly forever. The pity in people's eyes when they thought about 'poor Ella' was too much to bear. At least this way, I could pretend everything was normal.I'd thrown myself into the charade with a desperation that surprised even me. Late-night study sessions with Tommy, learning every detail of Trent's life. Practicing his mannerism

The crowd parted like the Red Sea, their excited whispers creating a noise around us.We glided across the floor, and I couldn't help but stare at Trent. He moved with such grace, showing no signs of the injuries that had kept him hospitalized. Something felt off, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it.As we stepped onto the stage, the spotlight bathed us in its warm glow. Trent's eyes sparkled with an intensity I'd never seen before. Just as we were about to begin our dance, he dropped his crutches. I gasped, instinctively reaching out to steady him.But he didn't falter. Instead, he swept me into his arms with a flourish, spinning me around as if he'd never been injured at all. The crowd erupted in cheers, but their excitement felt distant, muffled by the doubt growing in my mind.As we swayed to the music, I studied his face closely. T

    ELLA'S POVI stood before the mirror, my reflection staring back at me.The dress hugged my curves perfectly, its deep purple fabric shimmering in the light of my bedroom. My fingers traced the beadwork along the bodice, memories flooding back of the day Trent had bought it at the store."You're beautiful," I whispered to my reflection, trying to summon the confidence I once had. I smoothed out a non-existent wrinkle, remembering the day Lucinda had "accidentally" spilled punch on it at the couple's dance. It had taken three trips to the dry cleaner to remove the stain completely, but I didn't care. This dress was more than just fabric and thread; it was a symbol of everything Trent and I had been through.Let them stare, I thought defiantly. Let them whisper about how I'm wearing the same dress. This isn't about them. This is for Trent.As I reached the bottom of the stairs, I caught sight of Mr. Matthews in the living room. He was pacing back and forth, his fingers drumming nervo

"It's been like walking through a ghost town without you here."I hesitated for a moment before returning her embrace, burying my face in her shoulder. The warmth of human contact after so long in isolation nearly overwhelmed me.As Susan pulled back, I caught sight of Amelia hovering a few feet away. Our eyes met for a split second before she looked down, her fingers twisting the hem of her sweater. The pain across her face made my chest tighten.Susan followed my gaze, her voice dropping to a whisper. "She's been like that for days now, Ella. Ever since... well, you know." She bit her lip, clearly struggling to find the right words. "I think she blames herself for what her dad did. She won't talk about it, but I can see it eating her up inside."I took a deep breath, steeling myself. This wasn't going to be easy, but I couldn't bear t

The silence in my room was deafening, broken only by the occasional ping of my phone - another message I'd ignore. Everything wasn't okay. It hadn't been for weeks.Trent was still in the hospital, and I was drowning in a sea of uncertainty. The worst part? I didn't even know how he was faring. Some ridiculous ban on visits had been imposed, cutting me off from the one person I desperately needed to see.I dragged myself out of bed, my feet hitting the cold floor. My reflection in the mirror was a stranger - hollow-eyed and pale. I barely recognized myself anymore.For the umpteenth time, I found myself outside the Donovan mansion, my fists pounding against the imposing iron gates. "Please!" I screamed, my voice hoarse from overuse. "I just need to know if he's okay!"My cries echoed in the empty driveway, met only by the rustling of leaves. As always, th
