"We have English first," Ally was staring at her schedule, having planned all their classes together. Kane had agreed to having them together so he doesn't need to feel alone in any classes, and he, from the driver's seat, glanced towards her schedule a few times before eventually finding a parking spot beside the school. "It's on the second floor, Mrs. Morton. She's pretty cool.""Alright, anything I should know about this school before we head inside?""Yea, don't hang out with the nerds. That'll put a target on your back," she admitted, shrugging her shoulders. "That's how this school works over here.""That's why there's a target on Jay's back, that's what you mean?"Ally furrowed her brows before opening her car door, "Why are you on about him all the time?""Because," Kane stepped out of the car and rushed beside his sister, wrapping an arm around her shoulders, "he acts scared all the time, and he's my friend—""He's not your friend," Ally threw his arm away from her, "seriousl
"School's starting in two days," Ally sprinted across their shared bedroom, reaching for her skirts and shoving herself through, "this is literally welcome weekend party."Kane was not impressed.For one, he had never agreed to move into this home. Although his step-father had been genuinely kind and helped him navigate through the city, this entire change was still a struggle for him to deal with. Not only did he move six hours from his friends, but he was in a city he had never heard before neither had he wanted to move. It was the whole, "I found someone I love and he's willing to let us both move-in." He never had a choice, it was his mother's decision since she had custody of him. Well, he could have said no but living in the streets to make ends meet was not in his best interest at the moment.Kane exhaled a long sigh as he glanced over the clustered room he had to share with his step-sister. Her makeup was all over the wardrobe, and their desk they shared. All the clothes she t
Kane had never thought he would have downed that many shots. He never even wanted to go to the party in the first place, but the atmosphere made him lose his walls and he began downing as many as he could. He finally was introduced to Randy, and was able to have a regular conversations for a few seconds before the girls grabbed his arms and pulled him towards the bar. He met a few more randoms that he was unable to catch their names, and the night was just getting started. He was atrociously tipsy, but not yet completely drunk. His vision doubled here and there, and maintaining his balance was growing a bit hard, but he was consciously able to understand what was happening.He lost the group when they decided to head towards the dance floor, and Kane had decided that finding the bathroom would be the best bet since he was struggling to hold it in any longer. He had no idea how to get to at least a bathroom; this home was gigantic. He left the party area and headed for the kitchen, whe
The games were back and forth. Kane won the first three, then the obvious nerd won the next two. Kane then won the next two, then the obvious nerd won one. The other guys started getting bored of watching, and having the two players hoarding the pool table, and they were soon left together by themselves, to which they appreciated the quiet and less nagging. But Kane oftentimes missed easy shots, and the obvious nerd it was purposely done.At one point, he shook his head and positioned himself, hissing, "You making fun of me?"It wasn't at all to make fun of him. It was because there was something in the way he played that made Kane's entire body become warm. The way all his movements were delicate, even the way he wandered around the table, his eyes calculating each angle and torque that could allow him to win. Then, he would lean over, his gaze slightly squinting and his eyes focusing on the exact spot on the cue ball, his slant tensing all the muscles in his shoulders but leaving hi
"Yes," Jay spoke, watching Kane's navy eyes observe the condo, "I live alone."Kane's eyes were two killing, admired every single aspect of the condo. It had a beautiful view of the city, a short staircase to another floor for the bedroom and bathroom. The living room was large, with a mounted television and a home theatre speaker setup. Everything was marvellous, and Kane couldn't help but slump onto the couch, the comfort he felt making him feel much more at home than his step-father's house."This is so nice," he admitted, eyeing the chandelier at the top of the doorway.Jay threw his keys onto the island in the kitchen, and stumbled towards the fridge to grab water bottles. He did not condone drinking and driving, but that was the only way he was to make it home today, not wanting to leave his car at Jasper's. It was certain he would wake up the next morning with his car trashed if he left it there, and the best bet was to attempt in safely bringing the both of them back home.He
From all the people he had witnessed in the morning, Kane had been the grumpiest one. First, he was alerted awake the minute he realized it was not his home, and once he jumped to his feet, his mind reconnected the dots from last night and he slumped onto the sofa, feeling all his tense muscles begin to ache. He groaned very loudly, a yawn escaping his lips at the same time that he complained about how comfortable but uncomfortable at the same time the sofa was, and how it hurt his shoulder blades while he slept. When Jay said it was simply because Kane's shoulder blades were too wide, he did not really appreciate that comment and appeared as if he was seconds away from murdering him.During the night, it had been way too warm and Kane had removed his turtleneck. Which meant, when Jay left his bedroom, he walked towards the living room and found Kane half-naked. At first, he felt his hormones race but attempted to suppress them by glancing elsewhere and leaving the room. But he couldn

"I'm still mad at you." Kane rolled his eyes, continuing to brush his teeth beside Ally, both of them needing to share the same sink. Ally was flossing her teeth while Kane finished brushing his teeth, and she finishing her back teeth before glaring at Kane from the mirror, "You made me look stupid.""Because I fucked your friend?""Stop saying that, that's gross. Do you know how many guys Jamie has been with? Did you guys use a condom?""Not a chance," Kane laughed, eyeing her through the mirror before spitting the toothpaste into the sink. He was not wearing a shirt, and he flexed his bicep, eyeing himself in the mirror, "She for-sure liked that though.""You're not even attractive, to be honest."He rinsed the rest of the toothpaste out before setting his toothbrush aside, following Ally out of the bathroom, "Let's not go there, if I was your step-brother, I could have piped you.""Ew, why do you say it like that?" Ally groaned, walking towards the kitchen when both of them were gr
