“The deal? There is no deal,” Miles shrugged. But even in his denial, his body still huddled together nervously, and his face stung pink.
“You lie like a five-year-old. What happened between you and Aiden?”

Her eyes were red and heavy from the sleepless night before, in which she had stayed up worried sick until he got home.

She liked to listen to the whole story before she said her piece, like a modern-day Socrates. She was listening to everything now: every shout and plea and whisper, assessing exactly how to feel.

His fair-haired classmate just shook his head.“I really don’t understand the fuss. There’s no reason it should be that complicated between you two.”“Easy for you t

By Authoress Kamara .Chapter 32: The Tyrant .Except Miles never made it.Zane had to wake his classmate after they had been napping for nearly three hours, and neither Blake, Wyatt, or Miles had shown up. The sun sunk low enough in the sky now that the canopy hid it from the treehouse, where Zane and Aiden sat in a hazy half-darkness.
(33). Sorry, I’m An Anti-Romantic . By Authoress Kamara .Chapter 33: What have I done? .Aiden couldn’t run anymore. He had been running for the past hour, darting through every location he knew Miles once occupied: arcades, cafes, restaurants, the houses of old friends. But he wasn’t in any of those places. It was as if he had vanished.It had come to the point where Aiden was no longer thinking straight. He felt thick fog behind his e

You’ve told me like a hundred times.”“I know, but it feels so good to finally say it!” Miles threw his arms up. “I feel like I’ve been forgiven for all of my sins!”“Ha! Like that’ll ever happen,” Ryder cackled from behind him. Miles shot him a glare over his shoulder.“Remind me, Aiden, where are we going?” Zane spoke up. They had been following Aiden past the edge of town and into the forest for at least thirty minutes. Wyatt was practically hanging from Zane’s shoulders like a cape at this point, too tired to walk anymore.“You’ll recognize it soon enough,” Aiden answered confidently. The group finally found a path, and sighed in relief when they no longer had to trudge through itchy undergrowth. Miles took up Aiden’s hand again and leaned into his ear.“Hey Aiden?”“Let me guess, you like me?”“No, I was gonna say your hair looks pretty today.”
