Against the rules His Sweet Side
Ava’s POVI didn’t know where we were going, and honestly, I didn’t care. After spending the afternoon trapped under my siblings’ judgmental gazes, insults and everything. Anything was better than staying in Logan’s apartment, drowning in my thoughts. So when he drove us across town and pulled into a parking lot, I was too lost in my own head to even notice where we were until I saw the glowing neon sign above the entrance.Westbridge Bowling Alley.I turned to Logan, raising an eyebrow. “Bowling?”He smirked, unbuckling his seatbelt. “Yeah, nerd, bowling. You ever been?”I scoffed, crossing my arms. “Of course I have.”That was a lie. I had seen people bowl, sure, but actually playing? Not so much.Logan’s smirk widened like he saw right through me. “Right… let’s go then.”I followed him inside, the sound of rolling balls and crashing pins filling the air. The place was buzzing with energy ,families, couples, and groups of friends laughing and cheering. The neon lights reflected off

Ava's povWe made it back to Logan's apartment and he switched the lights on. Everything has become awkward because of my mixed feelings about Logan and I don't even want to face him now.I heard him sigh “nerd! You're going to crush a poor teddy bear with the way you're hugging it like that".I immediately came to my senses. “Oh shoot! I didn't mean too". This is actually the first gift I've received from someone other than my mom and whether it's from Logan or not I'm going to cherish it.“Logan!”“Nerd”We both said at the same time.I nodded at him " you can go first”.He reached his hands to his hair and started messing with them " umm…I had so much fun today nerd! If you're down, we can do this again…sometime?”.He actually looks cute when he's nervous!.Shit! Don't get swayed by his cuteness Ava, don't!. I reminded myself." Definitely, I had a good time too, thank you Logan for what you did today; I really appreciate it”. It's true; I never thought that Logan would actually t

Ava's povI woke up early in the morning since I had an early class and a project to do. I was more tempted to skip but I couldn't because it's me. I could lose my scholarship and that is the last thing I want. I took a fast shower then proceeded to get dressed.I put on my jeans and a black hoodie. All these years I've never cared about how I dress or any kind of fashion, I just wear what I feel is comfortable. I cleaned the living room and kitchen. I decided to make a simple breakfast,not wanting to use too many things and cause Logan to lose. I made coffee, bread with sausage. I looked at my watch and it's 8am, only an hour left for my class.Groaning under my breath,I stuffed more bread into my mouth then stumbled out of Logan's apartment and started running to westbridge.About 30 minutes later I reached my class and this was the first time of my life arriving late to my class. It's because I kept daydreaming about all that happened with Logan.“Ok! Guys I'll be submitting your

Ava's povLogan's words were still echoing in my mind as I walked to the cafeteria, the sound of the soft click of my sneakers on the tile floor almost comforting in its simplicity. He’d told me he’d pick me up after practice. He’d told me. I hadn’t even asked. And part of me loved it, the part that wanted to believe that maybe, just maybe, he liked spending time with me beyond just our tutoring sessions.I had to shake the thought away. Focus! Focus! on the tutoring. That’s what this was about. Helping him with his grades. Nothing more.But then, why did the idea of him picking me up make my heart skip a beat? Why did the idea of spending time with him outside of the classroom have me in a frenzy? I’d told myself, after our study sessions, after that kiss in the library...the kiss, that we could just go back to normal. Friends. Nothing more. And yet, with each passing moment, the line between what I wanted and what I was willing to admit to myself became blurrier.By the time I reac

Ava's povI was busy doing my project trying to do anything that could get Logan Carter out of my mind. And damn! If it works!It took me a long time to finish my project when I finally decided to get up from a very comfortable couch or my current bed. I rolled my eyes.I still wonder why didn't Logan offer me his spare room all this time I've been here and left me suffering here on this couch? But I can't say anything about his house rules!I went to take a shower. After a quick three-ish minute shower I put on comfortable sweatpants and a hoodie and tied my hair in a ponytail. I was finally hungry, and there's literally nothing to eat here. I don't want to rummage through Logan's kitchen cabinets because first; it's not mine and second; I don't want him to get mad at me nor thinking he finally has a chance to get into my pants.I decided to go to Walmart to buy my own groceries. Upon arriving at Walmart I shoved my hands deep into the pockets of my hoodie, the cool air from the AC i

Ava’s POVSilence...Thick, and suffocating silence.I sat frozen, my fingers tightening around my half emptied bowl of noodles as I watched Logan shift uncomfortably. His jaw clenched, his hands running through his already messy hair. The girl;whoever she was...was still on the floor, blinking in confusion before letting out a loud, dramatic huff.And I thought he had changed!mph! silly me “Seriously?” she muttered, standing up and dusting off her tiny dress. She flipped her hair, glaring at Logan. “You didn’t tell me you had company.”Logan didn’t respond. His gaze was locked onto mine, and for some reason, it pissed me off.Tristan shook his head, looking disgusted. “Bro, what the hell?”Charlotte’s mouth was hanging open, her wide eyes bouncing between me and Logan like she was watching the most dramatic scene in a movie.I could feel my chest tightening, and I hated it. I hated that this… whatever this was, affected me. That Logan being Logan the playboy, the reckless flirt bot

Ava's povAfter the Logan incident yesterday I didn't want to face him at all.so I avoided him at all costs. The next morning I didn't have any morning class, Tristan and Charlotte wasted no time in helping me searching for part time jobs. Charlotte had practically forced me out of my bed, dragging me along as she and Tristan made calls to people they're familiar with, checking job postings, and even walked me through every cafe, bookstore, and retail store which were close by.“Okay,hear me out," Charlotte said as we strolled around the town. “Ava, you should totally work at that cozy little bookstore near my place. It's quiet,you love books, and best of all,no perverts or rude customers".I sighed” I doubt they're hiring,I didn't see any post about hiring". I turned to them”but thanks for the effort guys you've no idea how much you've helped me".Tristan suddenly pointed to a small diner across the street. It was not bigger but had a lot of customers. " That place has ‘’help wanted'

~Logan’s POV~I stood there, frozen, as Ava disappeared into the kitchen. I couldn't wrap my head around anything, nothing made sense at that time.She was leaving.She was leaving me!I didn’t know what the hell to say. My mind kept replaying her words… I got a job today and an apartment.She got a job! And She was actually moving out.My chest tightened in a way I didn’t understand. I should’ve seen this coming. Hell, I pushed her to this. Last night was a mess. I knew I screwed up the second I woke up with a pounding headache and the memory of Ava’s furious, disappointed face burned into my brain. But hearing her say it out loud, making it final…damn. I hadn’t expected it to feel like this.I was low-key devastated! Maybe not low-key!I ran a hand through my hair, frustration bubbling under my skin. Why does this bother me so much?Why do I feel like this? She's a bet right?I should be fine with it. She was just a roommate, right? A tutor. Someone who happened to live in my space

Against the rules Be my girlfriend
Ava’s POVCharlotte and I had managed to snag a table near the window cafeteria,where the sun streamed in, warming the wooden surface.I stabbed my fork into my salad, listening to Charlotte ramble about some drama between her and Tristan when a shadow suddenly fell over us.“Mind if I join?”I looked up, surprised to see Levi Carter standing beside our table, a charming grin on his face. Carter's siblings are charming!.Charlotte, ever the flirt, beamed at him. “Of course! Sit with us anytime, handsome.”Levi chuckled and pulled out a chair. “I’ll take that as an official invitation.”I shook my head with a small smile. Levi was different from Logan, softer around the edges, with an easygoing aura that made him instantly likable. He was also just as attractive, and I could already feel the stares from nearby tables as he settled in.“So,” Levi started, looking between me and Charlotte, “what do you guys do for fun around here?”“Fun?” Charlotte scoffed. “Please, this campus is borin
Against the rules Not so subtle
Ava’s POVCharlotte and I sat at our usual table, her phone in one hand and a fork in the other as she scrolled through something on her feed. I poked at my salad, not really paying attention, until she let out a dramatic sigh.“You know, for someone who just got her own place, you don’t seem very excited,” she pointed out, setting her phone down.I shrugged. “I am. It’s just… a lot.”She studied me for a second before smirking. “Or maybe it has something to do with Logan.”I nearly choked on my drink. “Excuse me?”Before she could respond, a tray dropped onto the table across from us. Logan slid into the seat beside me, followed by Tristan, who took his usual place next to her.“Talking about me again?” Logan teased, stealing one of my fries.I glared at him. “No one was talking about you.”Charlotte snorted. “Lies.”Tristan laughed. “You two are exhausting to watch, you know that?”Logan smirked, completely unfazed. “So, nerd, you coming to the game later?”I sighed. “I have work,
Against the rules Moving in
Ava’s POVMoving day came faster than I expected.I woke up to the sound of Charlotte banging on my door, her voice too energetic for the early morning.How can she be chirpy so early in the morning?“Rise and shine, apartment owner! Time to move your broke ass out of here!”I groaned, burying my face in my pillow. “Five more minutes.”“Nope.” She yanked my blanket away. “We have a lot to do. Logan’s coming soon, and if he sees you drooling on your pillow, I will never let you live it down and I don't think he'll appreciate that” she winked at meThat got me up.I threw a pillow at her, but she dodged it with a laugh. “Get dressed, loser. I’ll make coffee.”I sighed, dragging myself out of bed.By the time I was dressed and had shoved a piece of toast into my mouth, Logan had already arrived.He leaned against the doorframe, looking way too good in a simple hoodie and jeans. “You ready, nerd?”I rolled my eyes. “You know, normal people say good morning.”“I’m not normal,” he said with
Against the rules My own place
Ava’s POVThe first thing I did when my salary hit my account was stare at my phone screen in disbelief.$2,000.I wasn’t used to seeing that much money in my account at once. I knew it wouldn’t last long rent, groceries, and bills would take a huge part but for now, I let myself have a moment to feel proud.I’d earned this.The second thing I did was text Charlotte.Me: We’re going apartment hunting today.Charlotte: OMG FINALLY! I’m grabbing coffee. Meet me at campus in 20 minutes!I barely had time to pull on a decent outfit before running out the door. The sun was bright, and for the first time in a while, I felt like things were coming together.I was getting out of Charlotte apartment giving her a space with her boyfriend.“Okay, so I did some research,” Charlotte said, sliding into the booth across from me at the campus café. She had two coffees in her hands one for her, one for me. “I found a few places that are actually within budget.”I took the coffee gratefully. “How much
Against the rules Reminder
Logan’s POVThe gym was empty except for the sound of my fists slamming into the punching bag. Each hit sent a sharp ache up my arm, but I welcomed the pain. It was better than thinking. Better than remembering.After last night, after seeing her, I hadn’t been able to get Ava out of my damn head. The way she looked at me like she saw me for the first time had messed me up more than I wanted to admit.I landed another punch, breathing hard.“You trying to kill the bag or yourself?”I turned to see Aaron leaning against the doorway, arms crossed, his usual cocky smirk in place.What the fuck does he want?I rolled my shoulders. “What do you want?”He strolled in, tossing a football between his hands. “I think you know.”I grabbed my towel, wiping the sweat from my face. “Not in the mood, man.”Aaron let out a mock gasp. “Not in the mood? That’s funny because last time I checked, you had plenty of motivation.”I clenched my jaw. “Drop it.”He grinned. “Come on, Logan. Don’t tell me you
Against the rules He's different now
Ava’s POVThe night air was cool as Logan and I walked side by side, the quiet sounds of the city enveloping around us. My fingers curled around the plush wolf he’d tried so hard to win, and I couldn’t help but smile.“So, what’s next?” Logan asked, tossing the last of his fries into his mouth.I raised an eyebrow. “Next? It’s almost midnight, Carter.”“And?” He smirked. “Scared to stay out late?”I rolled my eyes. “I have work tomorrow, unlike you.”Logan placed a hand over his heart, feigning offense. “Are you calling me unemployed?”I gave him a pointed look. “You literally don’t have a job.”“Technically, I do.” He grinned. “I play football. That’s a job.”“Football isn’t a job, it’s a sport,” I shot back.“A sport I get paid for,” he countered.I groaned. “You get scholarship money for it. That’s different.”Logan shrugged. “Details, details.”I shook my head, but I was smiling. Being around him was easy, even when we were arguing.We walked a little longer until we reached a sma
Against the rules Arcade date
Ava's povThe next day, Charlotte nearly choked on her cereal when I told her about what happened with Logan."You did what?" She gaped at me from across the kitchen table."I said yes to a date with Logan," I muttered, sipping my coffee, trying to sound casual but inside I was freaking out.Charlotte slammed her spoon down. "Ava! This is huge! Logan doesn’t date. He flirts, he hooks up, and then he moves on."I winced. "Thanks for the reminder.""But," she continued, pointing her spoon at me, "he likes you. Like, actually likes you. I seen the way he looked at you everytime."I frowned. "What do you mean?"Charlotte smirked. "Ava, that boy is whipped. He is glaring at any guy who so much as glanced in your direction whenever you aren't looking. It is so hilarious."I blinked. Logan… jealous? That didn’t seem like him. Am I too dense to understand anything?Before I could overthink it, my phone buzzed.Logan: Be ready at 7. I’m picking you up.I stared at the message, my stomach flip
Against the rules "Just one date"
~Ava’s POV~I stood there frozen, did Logan Carter just ask me on a date?. my heart beating faster against my chest so loudly that I was sure Logan could hear it. He had just asked me out. Logan Carter; the cocky, arrogant, undeniably gorgeous football player had just asked me on a date.My lips still tingled from his kiss, and my brain was struggling to keep up with everything that had just happened. It seemed like I was sent into a frenzy.“I…” My voice came out hoarse, and I cleared my throat. That was so embarrassing! “I don’t know what to say.”Logan’s eyes searched mine, his brows slightly furrowed like he was preparing himself for rejection. “You could start by saying yes,” he said, attempting his usual smirk, but it didn’t quite reach his eyes. He was scared.I exhaled loudly, stepping back slightly, needing space to think, because every time he's near me I seem to lose all my abilities to think. Logan wasn’t just some guy asking me out. He was Logan Westbridge Universi
