Ava’s POV

I woke up this morning early, I took a shower and decided to go for something casual. I put my jeans and black top with a cardigan.

I made myself a simple breakfast just tea and bread, in my situation I could not afford anymore fancy breakfast. I got used to it after my mom died and my dad chased me out of his house because I talked back to his precious wife. She always hated me but the feeling was mutual!.

after I was done with my breakfast I exited my one room apartment and started walking to university. the West bridge university was huge it literally took me 30 minutes just to reach the library.

Today I have to tutor Logan and now it's 8 am and he's nowhere to be seen. then about fifteen minutes later he strolled in the library like it was some changing locker room. everyone was looking at him in shock. because the famous Logan doesn't do studies. there was something about Logan Carter that screamed trouble or is it because of his confident smirk that he has all the time? I couldn't quite figure it out.

He took a seat into the chair across from mine taking his time like he had all time of the world. "you look quite excited to see me nerd, I know I'm charming but you can tone it out"

I sighed closing my laptop " you're late, and I'm not a 'nerd' I have a name it's Ava".

he glanced at his watch "like five minutes no big deal"

"one hour" I corrected " I agree to tutor you and you're late to the session a whole damn hour logan , I'm not your servant I have things to do, if you don't want to, you can go your way, I'll go with mine ".

Logan smirk quickly fell out of his face " I'm sorry I got caught up in something important it will not happen again " he said

" by something important, you mean hooking up with some random girl again? " I crossed my arms looking at him.

his smirk quickly returned to his lips" and why do you care Ava? it's not like any of this is your business? or is it?"

his questions caught me off guard. he's right why do I care? it's not like we're friends. but why was I feeling like this?

"you're right it's not my business nor do I care" I quickly said.

he strengthen his back into his chair man spreading. "well, if you say so dear tutor".

I took my history book and put it on the table and opened my computer " well then let's begin our session ".

"so what's our first lesson, teacher?" Logan asked.

"European history, particularly WW1, any idea about it?" I asked him

He frowned "nope , I don't know anything about that"

my jaw nearly dropped to the ground! how the hell didn't he knew about this? is he this dumb? looks like I have to teach him everything!

"do you know anything about American independence? who's the first American president? who...."

"Jesus! chill Ava I was kidding!" he said chuckling

" I was just playing with you, don't get so serious geez!"

phew!! thank God

I rolled my eyes, exhaling sharply. "Logan, this is serious. If you keep messing around, you're never going to pass this class, and I'll just be wasting my Time".

He leaned forward, resting his arms on the table with a lazy smirk. "And that’s why I have you, dear tutor. To save me from academic failure."

I ignored his sarcasm and turned my laptop towards him, displaying a presentation I had prepared. "Alright, let's start with the causes of World War I. There were several factors, including militarism, alliances, imperialism, and nationalism....

Logan held up a hand, cutting me off. "Hold on, hold on. You lost me at 'militarism.' What does that even mean? is history always this hard?"

I sighed, reminding myself to be patient he doesn't seem to know almost everything about history. "It means the building of military forces. Countries were buying and making weapons, and tensions kept rising."

He nodded slowly, as if he were actually paying attention I highly doubted that. "So, basically, everyone was flexing their muscles, and it got out of hand?"

I pressed my lips together, trying not to laugh. "That's… one way to put it."

Logan grinned. "See? I’m a fast learner."

I highly doubted that, but at least he wasn’t entirely zoning out. "Alright, since you’re such a 'fast learner,' tell me what you just understood about militarism."

He smirked. "That it's when countries start collecting weapons, acting all tough, flexing their muscles and then boom war started".

I shook my head, but a small smile played on my lips. "Not bad. There's hope for you yet, Carter."

He leaned back in his chair, stretching. "Told you. So, what’s next?"

Before I could answer, a loud beep sound echoed through the library my phone buzzing with a message. I glanced at the screen, and my stomach dropped.

"Landlord: You have until the end of the week to pay the rent, or you’re out."

I swallowed hard, my fingers tightening around the phone. where the hell am I going to get the money?.Logan noticed my shift in expression, his brows slightly furrowing. "Everything okay nerd?"

I quickly locked my phone and forced a neutral expression. "Yeah. Let's just continue the lesson."

He didn't push, but I could tell he wasn’t convinced. Still, he let it go for now. he was a blabbermouth he will definitely ask me later.

"Alright, then," he said, tapping his fingers on the table. "Tell me more about this 'war' and why it even started."

I took a deep breath, pushing my worries aside. "Well, let’s talk about the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand…"

" hold on! who the fuck is archduke Franz Ferdinand? " Logan quickly stopped me.

" well, if you will not interrupt me then maybe you will know who's archduke Franz Ferdinand?"

he winked" alright sorry! carry on"..

And just like that, the session continued. But in the back of my mind, the landlord's message burned like a warning I couldn’t ignore.

the only question I hard is where am I going to find the money? definitely not from my dad.

Ava’s POVI had barely taken a sip of my morning coffee when a loud, insistent knock echoed through Logan’s apartment. My stomach twisted into a familiar knot of dread. I already knew who it was.Brian and Kate.I regret giving them Logan's address, will he be mad?Logan, who had been stretching lazily on the couch, raised an eyebrow. “You expecting someone, nerd?”I set my cup down with a sigh, rubbing my temples. “Unfortunately.”He nodded then continued scrolling his phone. Guess he isn't angry as I expected him to beThe knocking grew more aggressive.“Jesus, are they trying to break the door down?” Logan muttered, walking over to open it.The moment the door swung open, my older brother, Brian, strode in like he owned the place, his eyes immediately scanning the apartment with a look of disapproval. My sister, Kate, followed right behind him, her arms crossed, her expression a perfect mix of annoyance and rudeness.Brian’s sharp blue eyes landed on me, narrowing instantly. “Ava.
Against the rules Vulnerable
Ava’s POVAfter Logan returned with two plates of spaghetti and a warm smile, I forced myself to concentrate on the food rather than the bunch of thoughts in my head. The kitchen was dimly lit by the soft glow of a single overhead lamp, and the low hum of the refrigerator was the only sound breaking the uneasy silence between us.We settled at the small dining table Logan on one side, me on the other. Every time our eyes met, I felt that same mix of annoyance and something else… something I wasn’t ready to admit. Last night’s kiss still clung to my thoughts like an afterimage I couldn’t shake, and despite my best efforts, a small part of me couldn’t help but wonder what it meant.“Eat up,” Logan said casually, prodding his own plate with a fork. “I made extra.” His tone was light, but his eyes lingered on mine a moment longer than necessary.I forced a smile, trying to push aside the discomfort. “Thanks,” I mumbled. I picked at my food, each bite feeling heavier than the last. The wei

Ava’s POVThe moment I read my dad’s message, my stomach twisted into knots.Brian and Kate are coming over there tomorrow. They’ll stay at your place.Stay at my place? What place?! I don't even have a place to call mine and he wants me to bring my siblings here!I don't think Logan will be pleased by this, I just have to start looking for a place before things get out of hands.My hands tightened around my phone as frustration bubbled up inside me. He didn’t even ask if I had the space, didn’t care about what I was going through. Typical. After throwing me out like garbage, now he wanted me to play host for his perfect little family?I locked my phone and exhaled sharply, trying to calm myself. No use getting worked up now. I had bigger problems like the fact that I was homeless, currently crashing at Logan Carter’s apartment, and somehow surviving the chaos that came with being around him.Speaking of Logan…“Hey, nerd!”I turned my head just in time to see him jogging toward me, f

Logan povPractice was the same as usual running drills, getting yelled at by Coach, and trying not to die under the sun. But my head wasn’t in the game. no matter how hard I tried to concentrate on the practice I couldn't. my mind was not here at all.It was on her.Ava.Ava SinclairI hadn’t expected to actually enjoy spending time with her. The tutoring bullshit that was me I begged professor to get Ava to tutor me history because I didn't know shit about history,but the truth is I know history it's just it's not my favorite subject.She was just supposed to be some nerdy tutor, a means to an end. But now? Now, she was staying at my place, sitting with my friends, getting under my damn skin. and me ? I was enjoying all of that, probably more than I could admit.The accidental kiss from last night wasn’t helping either. that was our second kiss. the first time we kissed was at the party, I wanted to show my friends that I was capable of getting her in my bed but I didn't know the b

Ava's pov The next day I woke up early in the morning before Logan and tidied up the place before I went to the bathroom and took a quick shower. I wore my jeans with my black hoodie, took my bag and tiptoed out of the apartment . After everything that happened yesterday, I couldn't bring myself to face Logan. I don't want him to think that I'm some Kind of weak person or come out as clingy. I can manage myself. I managed to get to the class, I was the first one to get to the class, then a few minutes later students started to find their way in the room. Professor of sociology Gabriel Lenox started his lecture. I bent my head down and focused on writing notes when I heard a knock on the door and the professor allowed whoever was knocking. I took a look and saw that it was Logan wearing a black jeans with black leather jacket. I immediately lowered my head when he caught me looking.
Against the rules First night at Logan's
Ava's pov The last thing I remember after reaching Logan's place is that he told me he was going out tonight, so why the hell is he still here? I was lost in my thoughts when I felt something nudging me. I turned to face Logan who had a smirk on his face. "hey nerd, what are you daydreaming now? I know I'm hot but you can just tone it out sunshine". I scoffed "who told you I'm thinking about you? didn't you say you are going out tonight? or is no one willing to open their legs for you?" I remarked. Logan smirk widened "and why do you care nerd? I don't think me whoring around is any of your concern or are you jealous " he said . I became aware of the small space we were in. After the kiss we shared earlier, Everytime Logan is close to me keeps making me feeling conscious. " No I'm not jealous but can you move your body away, you're in my space " I said, tryin
Against the rules close quarters
Ava’s POV I stared at the eviction notice in my hands, my stomach twisting into knots. my landlord said I had a week but here I am .... on the streets!. Rent issues. A “miscalculation,” my landlord had called it. But all I heard was: you have to leave. I didn’t even have a place to go. It wasn’t like I could call anyone. I’d already strained things with my dad, and my so-called friends were more interested in their own drama than helping me out. I could get a cheap motel, but what the hell was I supposed to do after that? I just wanted to disappear. But as I stood outside the dorm, gripping my duffel bag like it could somehow shield me from everything, a ping from my phone broke the silence. Logan Carter: What’s up, nerd? I almost didn’t want to reply. I didn’t even know why I had his number in the first place, but here it was, glowing on the screen. I bit my lip, thinking of all the options none of them great before I did the dumbest thing possible. Ava: …Got a couch I ca
Against the rules A deal
Logan’s POV This was a bad idea. No,scratch that. This was a dangerous idea. And yet, here I was, walking into a house party with Ava Sinclair, the one girl on this damn whole campus who wasn’t wrapped around my finger. She wasn’t supposed to be here. and she didn't want to be here. But after our little negotiation in the library, after watching her hesitate before ultimately caving to my offer, I knew she’d show up. And damn, if she didn’t look completely out of place. She wasn’t dressed like the other girls,tight dresses, sky high heels, looking for attention. No, Ava wore ripped jeans and a fitted sweater, her hair in a ponytail, like she hadn’t even thought twice about what to wear. And yet, as I walked beside her, my eyes kept drifting to her. Dangerous. "You’re sure about this?" she asked, arms crossed as she surveyed the party like she was searching for an emergency exit. "Relax, nerd," I said, throwing an arm around her shoulder, grinning when she immediately stiffe
Against the rules The first game
Ava’s POV I wasn’t sure how I ended up here. One minute, I was closing my laptop, ending another exhausting tutoring session with Logan Carter. The next, I was shaking hands on a deal I wasn’t even sure I wanted to make. I was going against my rules again. "Come to the game, and I’ll help you find a part-time job," he had said, flashing that cocky grin like he already knew I’d say yes. And somehow, against all logic, I had said yes! stupid!! Now, I was packed into the freezing bleachers of Westbridge Stadium, surrounded by screaming fans, girls with too much make up , and everything I was not a customized regretting every life decision that had led to this moment. "Come on, Ava, at least try to look excited!" my neighbor, Sophie, yelled over the deafening cheers. I forced a tight smile. "Super excited," I deadpanned, gripping my coat tighter around me. I don't know what came over me to accept the dealguess you can call it desperation!! Sophie rolled her eyes. "You’re impossi
