The following morning, Olivia was busy preparing breakfast for herself while her mother, Mary, ventured into town in search of a job. Suddenly, a knock echoed from the front door.
Wiping her hands hastily on a towel, Olivia made her way to the door. To her astonishment, she found a new girl she had never seen before standing there. The girl was strikingly beautiful, with bright brown eyes, ginger hair, and delicate lips.
With a broad smile, the girl introduced herself. "Hi, I'm Ava Lee, and I live next door." she said, extending her hand in greeting.
Olivia paused for a moment, recalling that her mother had mentioned something about the girl next door. She smiled back and shook Ava's hand. "Hello, I’m Olivia June. It's great to finally meet you! My mother has spoken about you. Please, come in!" she invited, gesturing for Ava to enter, which she did with a nod.
"I’ve heard a lot about you too! Since I don’t have any friends here, I hope we can be friends." Ava continued, her smile infectious.
"Absolutely! I would love to have a girlfriend. It's been rather dull lately, just watching television all day." Olivia replied, her face lighting up with enthusiasm.
Ava clapped joyfully, and Olivia mentioned that she would finish making breakfast while Ava settled in and chose a movie for them to watch, which Ava eagerly agreed to.
In just a few minutes, Olivia returned with two plates of toast and two glasses of juice arranged on a tray. She handed one plate to Ava, took her own, and found a comfortable spot to sit.
"So, are you ready to go back to school?" Ava asked after taking a bite of her toast.
"Yeah, but I hope it won't be a nightmare." Olivia admitted, her apprehension evident.
"Are you okay? Are you nervous about school?" Ava inquired, concern etched on her face.
"Yeah, just some past experiences I've had that I’d rather not discuss." Olivia replied, waving her hand dismissively as if to brush off the topic. Ava nodded in understanding, recalling fragments of what Mary had conveyed but without full details.
Ava quickly shifted the conversation. "So, you’ve been here for about five days now. What else have you been doing besides watching TV?" She noticed Olivia's face brighten again, which made her silently grateful.
Olivia excitedly recounted an encounter she had with Ella when she went to grab fast food with Jason.
"Wait, you went on a date with Jason Mayor, the boy next door?" Ava exclaimed, her voice rising in surprise.
"No, it was just to get food after Jason helped me move in." Olivia clarified quickly, biting her lip as she glanced down.
Ava, however, saw through her. "What are you not telling me? Remember, we’re friends now!" she teased, tapping her fingers on the table in excitement.
"Nothing." Olivia insisted, trying to mask the truth.
"I may not know you well, but your face tells a different story. What are you hiding?" Ava pressed, her curiosity piqued.
"Fine, we kissed, okay? Technically, we made out against my car." Olivia mumbled, her gaze fixed on her juice, avoiding Ava's reaction.
After a few moments, Olivia finally looked up, only to find Ava's jaw dropped in disbelief.
"When did this happen?" Ava finally asked, regaining her composure.
"Right after we got back from fast food." Olivia replied, her hands clasped together in nervousness.
"You mean to say you made out with him on your first day here? So it was really a date?" Ava almost shrieked.
"Absolutely not! Please, keep it down; he might hear us," Olivia urged, attempting to hush Ava. "It wasn't a date. He was just being sweet because I had my feet on the dashboard without my seatbelt. He got worried, stopped the car, and buckled me in. He said he didn’t want me to get hurt. Who does that? That’s what led to the kiss," Olivia explained rapidly.
"Alright, you make a good point. So, was Jason a good kisser?" Ava asked, her excitement palpable.
"Girl, I felt that kiss all the way to my stomach, actually, my entire body." Olivia reminisced, her expression dreamy.
"So, do you like him?" Ava finally inquired.
Olivia shook her head. "Absolutely not! He seems like a player, and I refuse to get my heart broken. But I won’t lie; he’s handsome and a great kisser." she admitted with a smile.
"Good! You don’t want your heart broken in a new place." Ava said, satisfied with Olivia's response.
The two continued chatting about various topics until their conversation was interrupted by a familiar voice. Both recognized it as Jason's. Curiosity piqued, they peeked out the window, causing Ava to blush. Olivia noticed and playfully insisted she spill the beans.
"Nelly is my boyfriend," Ava confessed.
NEXT DOOR
Meanwhile, Jason had not seen Olivia since her move-in day. He had attempted to text her, but she was too preoccupied with unpacking. Instead, he found himself hanging out with Nelly, his best friend.
Deep down, Jason tried to convince himself that he didn’t have feelings for Olivia, although he enjoyed her company. He recalled a funny moment when Olivia had responded to Ella with an entire slice of pizza in her mouth, which he found hilarious.
Jason wished Olivia would text him back so they could hang out again. The added bonus of spending time with her was that she was an incredible kisser. After their kiss, he couldn’t help but dwell on it. It felt different, and he suspected that Olivia felt the same way—that her lips were meant to be his.
He struggled to push the thoughts away, especially when she bit her lip; it felt like he was losing control.
"What’s wrong with me?" he pondered. "Girls don’t usually affect me like this."
He realized it was he who was under her spell. After their last kiss, when Olivia walked away, he felt as if she had cast a spell on him, leaving him yearning for more and planning to kiss her again.
"Jason!" Nelly's voice broke through Jason's thoughts, pulling him back to reality.
"What’s up?" Jason grumbled, irritated.
"Our team lost because of you! What’s going on? Do you want to keep playing?" Nelly complained, frustrated at Jason’s lack of focus, which had led to their defeat in the video game.
After Nelly vented about the loss, he stood to investigate the loud voices they kept hearing from outside. Upon peering out the window, he froze, his jaw dropping in shock.
"What's wrong?" Jason asked, noticing Nelly's astonished expression.
"My girlfriend and the new girl are in their bikinis!" Nelly exclaimed.
Jason dropped his controller and rushed to look outside.
His gaze landed on Olivia's midriff, where he noticed a dragon tattoo that stretched across her right ribcage, intertwined with scars that seemed to outline it, and at the end of the dragon's tail was a butterfly print.
"She looks incredibly sexy with those tattoos." Jason thought, captivated.
OLIVIA JUNE Oak Mountain School is renowned for its picturesque mountain setting, and I have chosen to complete my final months of senior year there. I have a boyfriend at the school, though we are in different classes. We used to share our lunchtimes and enjoyed spending our free time engaging in sports, watching movies, or exploring the areas surrounding our former school. Now, we are both students at Oak Mountain School.I informed my boyfriend, Jerry, that we would meet up at school since my mother and I had some shopping to do before heading to my new school for the remainder of the year.On the morning of my first day, I prepared myself for Oak Mountain School by following my usual morning routine."Oli, are you ready to go?" my mother inquired as she gathered a few of my bags from my room."Just give me a minute or two, and I'll be ready." I replied cheerfully."Alright, dear. I’ll meet you downstairs." she said while carrying two of my bags and heading down.After taking a d
OLIVIA JUNEThey stood tall near our table, hands shoved into their pockets. The one in the middle locked eyes with me, his perfect smile revealing a set of white teeth that seemed to glint maliciously.'Damn it, Olivia, your boyfriend is sitting next to you for crying out loud.'Their bodies were well-built and muscular. The girl on the left sneered. "Look at this. Look who we have here.""It seems what we did to your young sister wasn't enough, huh?" the guy beside the middle one mocked.I glanced at Jessica, raising an eyebrow. "Young sister?" I questioned, but Jessica remained silent, her gaze fixed downward, hands trembling."I think I found myself a new girlfriend, guys." The middle guy said, his stare boring deep into my soul.My heart was racing.The crew responded with a chorus of "Ohhh." as the students in the cafeteria fell mute, their eyes glued to us. It was clear; Lewis’s earlier remarks had made everyone's loyalties clear.Suddenly, my boyfriend Jerry slammed our food d

I settled onto my bed and took out my phone.Before diving into the chaos of the group chat, I decided to reach out to my mother to reassure her that I was doing fine. Yesterday had been a whirlwind, leaving me no opportunity to return her calls. As I opened the student group chat, my heart sank; the situation was far worse than I had anticipated. Reuben had posted a picture of us kissing, and it appeared strikingly real.

OLIVIA JUNE.As the morning light filtered through my curtains, I awoke feeling disoriented and unwell. The previous day had been a tumultuous one; I had meticulously cleaned the bathroom, where I encountered blood, and after tending to myself, I succumbed to sleep. Now, I found myself here, surprisingly numb to the pain from the razor blade.I went about my usual routine, taking a shower before making my way to my locker. Upon arriving, I was met with the sight of Charlotte and Reuben, their expressions twisted into smirks as if they had just spotted a wild animal. Students in the hallway hurled insults my way—thin-ass, sick bitch, ugly—yet, I had trained myself to ignore them, keeping my gaze downcast.As I rifled through my locker for books for my first class, I noticed Reuben, Charlotte, Vincent, and Ryker passing nearby.

My head pounded relentlessly, causing my vision to blur.As I turned my head, the stark reality hit me: I was in a hospital.Who had come to my aid? My mother or perhaps our neighbor?

I find myself stepping into the role of the new girl who feels somewhat broken.

Olivia let out a deep sigh as she sank onto the bed, having just placed the last box from her car into her room. The moving truck had left most of their belongings upstairs, so she was relieved she didn't have to haul any more items up the stairs.Meanwhile, Jason was seated on the floor, panting heavily. He had exhausted himself trying to impress Olivia by lifting multiple heavy boxes all on his own. When Olivia noticed he was on the verge of collapsing, she offered him a water bottle, which he gulped down in one go,and expressed his gratitude afterward."Are you hungry?" Olivia asked, hoping he would say yes since her own stomach was growling and hunger never suited her well.As after they strolled through the streets,and unloading boxes, Jason nodded in agreement, confirming that he too was feeling hungry."Is there a good fast food place you have in mind?" Olivia inquired, her enthusiasm growing."Absolutely, and you'll have to pay for the food because of my back-breaking labor."
The following morning, Olivia was busy preparing breakfast for herself while her mother, Mary, ventured into town in search of a job.

When their lips touched, Olivia felt shockwaves coursing through her entire body; the kiss was reminiscent of something from the novels she loved to read.However, she pulled away, feeling a bit embarrassed because she was the one who initiated the kiss with Jason. Expecting him to say something, she was taken aback when Jason remained silent, merely gazing at her with his eyes deepening from their usual bright gold-brown to something darker. Yet, his arms remained firmly around her, and neither made an attempt to move.Olivia bit her lower lip, her cheeks heating up as she pondered whether she had done the right thing.Breaking the eye contact, Jason's gaze fell to Olivia's lips; he flicked his tongue out to wet his own. In that moment, Olivia realized she shouldn't feel embarrassed about the kiss. A flutter of desire surged through her; she wanted to kiss Jason again.There was something special about that first kiss. Although it had been quick and soft, it felt profound.Just as Ol
