I was trapped between him and the wall of the (very cramped) closet. Even though it was sorta dark (the lights were on but were flickering), I didn't miss the dangerous gleam in his eyes flicking from my eyes to my lips, or what it meant…and even if I didn't, the way he was leaning towards me made it pretty clear what was going to happen next.

The whole situation might have been exciting, if he wasn't my friend Hailey's boyfriend.

How did I get into this? Good question. And to answer it, we have to go back a few days earlier:

It turned out my little stunt or prank (or whatever you wanted to call it) with Theo had made it's way around the school, surrounding me with unwanted attention. It really was annoying.

Especially when you factor in the fact that Theo started it first. Yes, I know how petulant that sounds. But still.

I'm probably just going to keep my head down for a while, before his fan girls decide to tear me into shreds.

Speaking of which..

A couple of girls were standi

    Okay, so I know I had a really cool quip moment with the whole 'I'll be there' thing but it's easier said than done. Yes. I mean clothes. Hailey was at my place on Saturday afternoon to help me get ready. My mom had surprisingly (almost enthusiastically) agreed to me going to a party. The same couldn't be said about my wardrobe though. Hailey was looking through my closet getting more exasperated each second. Hailey sighed, turning to face me. "Do you happen to have any clothes that aren't maybe merch related or have cats on them?""Can't say that I do.""Right. What was I expecting..?" Hailey groaned. "See? It's sorta your fault for having high expectations from my closet," I said proudly. "You know the saying, 'if it isn't comfortable, stash it away in an old traveling bag.'"Hailey's eyes widened in realization and flew back to the closet, and I was hot on her heels.This is on me for being very specific at odd times. Hailey got the upper hand eventually and opened the bag fu

    I pulled my hoodie over my head as I walked into school on Monday. Saturday had been..new, fun, exciting and very scary. But now it's over and I need to to my head in the game. Normally Hailey's supposed to be my guide on all the social things I'm incapable of but currently she's involved in the problem so I can't exactly ask her for help. As I walk down the hallway, I see Xavier Brown and his friends; a.k.a. the other people I was playing truth and dare with but would never recognize me because I literally have no social standing (and maybe because I look different with makeup on). Though I can't say I blame them. I hardly recognize most of them either, since Hailey made me take off my glasses and the basement was pretty dark. I look over at them again for some reason. It was probably just a game to them, right? Or maybe it was just a game and I'm the one taking this too seriously. Just as I was about to look away, me and Xavier made eye contact. I could see his eyes flash with

    "Hey, nice to meet you," Josh greeted. Oh, this is how he wants to play it, huh? Josh was a pretty tall dude (like 6'4-ish), and was built like a Greek god. Maybe I'm exaggerating a little bit but the guy was pretty muscular. Which is funny cuz he had that innocent baby face look. Josh was dressed in red and white; our football team's colors. I waved in greeting and he smiled back at me. He had a nice smile..I don't know what..but something feels off here."Oh yeah, Cora what did you want to tell me?" Hailey asked.So now she wants me to go first? Yeah, she definitely knows."Having fun without me, coz?" A male voice teased from behind Hailey."Oh hey Jay. What're you doing here?" Josh seemed genuinely surprised. "Hailey said to wait before she introduced me, but it seems she's gotten sidetracked," the person finally came into view. He looked like he walked out of a K-Drama. He was tall too (not as tall as Josh but still), pale skin and had short hair covering his forehead, neat

    Tony's P.O.V.I got to the main campus after practice late in the afternoon after school feeling less upbeat than usual. Probably because of the 'events' that happened recently a few days ago. 'No one do anything to me that Ididn't consent to,' Cora's voice echoed in my ears. God I'm so dumb. I didn't even stop to think about that possibility. Maybe I didn't want to even believe it was a possibility. But now I have to confront it. For her sake and mine. A part of me can't help commending Theodore even as the rest of me remains envious. Just how did he do in one week what I haven't - couldn't in eight years?I never thought I would go so long without telling her. I'd always brushed it off with a 'there's still time' or 'she probably isn't ready yet'. And maybe there is still time and maybe she truly isn't ready yet..but I am. I'm ready to let her know and decide for herself if she is or not. Guess it took me long enough.Some part of me thinks that I've been pretty obvious abou

    We'd finally reached the end of the school week and I was eager to get through the day and get some relaxation in. I mean, I didn't even have work today, but I guess Friday had other plans.First, I had to tutor Theo because he didn't do his math homework. The fact that irked me was he wasn't even bothered, he actually asked Cole to do it for him. Oh Cole, you poor thing. Well I couldn't stand by and let that happen. It was Theo's decision to sleep in class, the least he could do was take responsibility for it. "Well I don't know how to solve calculus equations anyway," Theo said nonchalantly. "You know what? I'll teach you," I decided. "Eh, I thought you hated math, Cora," Cole blinked in surprise. "I do. But Theo has to learn to take responsibility for his actions," I huffed. But of course, I just wasted my free period trying to tutor him. He didn't even bother to listen to me."Theo, are you even listening to me?" "No, I wasn't," he replied honestly. Ugh. I've never felt l

    When we were little, it seemed anything I could do, Corey could do better. Except computers though, that was probably the only thing I could beat him at. That and P.E.Every time I thought I do something worthy of praise, Corey would've done something even better and our parent's wouldn't even spare time a glance. After we finished elementary school, I stopped trying to impress them or make them acknowledge me or anything like that. I thought life couldn't possibly get worse than this. I really should've learn to stop jinxing myself from then. I've had kids laugh at me and call me nerd before that point, but Corey's always been there to defend me. Despite also, in a way, being a nerd, Corey always had a higher social status than me in school and was actually pretty popular. When we got to middle school and had different class schedules..I started to understand how cruel life could get. Harry Madison and his henchman and woman, Mace Turner and Olive 'Liv' Zamora showed me that. P

    "Wait, are you two really planning to fight?" Hailey rushed in between us. "We're not fighting 'fighting', right Jin?""Says the girl who told me she wasn't going to hold back against me," Jin reminded.I glare half-heartedly at him. "Relax Hailey, we're not going to hurt each other." Jin nodded in agreement. "Fine, fine," Hailey gave in. "But are you sure you can fight in that?"She was referring to my outfit. I was currently garbed simply in knee length shorts and a short sleeved (unfortunately plain) shirt. It's been warmer recently so I left my coat I'm Hailey's car."I'm pretty comfortable in these. Actually I think I can fight in anything..except heels though. They're the bane of my existence," I informed. "Uh, well, no. I meant your glasses.""Oh." I suppose that made more sense. "Yeah, I can. It's more of a handicap fighting without then. Or maybe an 'eyedicap'?" I mused out loud. Hailey blinked at me. "Right then. I'm cheering for you.""Thanks.""Ready?' Jin asked me. "

    The drive to school is quiet. Not uncomfortable, exactly—but quiet in a way that makes the silence heavy. Cole hums to himself at the wheel, occasionally drumming his fingers on the steering wheel to fill the space. I glance at Theo from the corner of my eye. He’s been tapping his knee in a steady rhythm, stealing glances at me when he thinks I won’t notice.It’s almost...cute. If I let myself think about it too much, my face might betray me, so I focus on the scenery passing by instead.The truth is, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking. About everything. About leaving. About what comes next. About Theo. Mostly Theo.I’m not used to people looking out for me like he does. It’s new. Unfamiliar. It’s also not something I can depend on. I’ve been on my own for too long to let someone else shoulder my burdens.Still, every time I catch those soft glances of his, something inside me twists and warms in ways I can’t quite explain.“Here okay?” Cole’s voice pulls me out of my thoughts. We’re

    I stepped into my room, shutting the door behind myself with trembling hands. The air felt heavy, a stark contrast to the storm raging in my chest. My eyes darted around the familiar space, landing on the small trinkets and scattered notebooks that had once provided solace. Now, they felt meaningless, relics of a life I’d just shattered. My legs gave way, and I sank to the floor. The sobs came suddenly, raw and guttural, as I clutched my knees to my chest. Relief mingled with fear, creating a chaotic symphony in her mind. I was free. I was lost. My breath was uneven as the flood of emotions continued. The room seemed to close in on me, the walls echoing the words of betrayal and anger from earlier. A soft knock on the door broke through my haze. “Cora?” Hailey’s voice was hesitant but warm. The door creaked open, and Hailey stepped in, eyes widening as she took in the scene…well me. Without a word, she crossed the room and knelt beside me. Hailey placed a gentle hand on my

    The cool evening air did little to soothe the fire burning inside me. I stood by the garden gate, hugging myself as if the weight of my own arms could hold me together. It didn’t. Not after what I’d just seen.Jin. And Catty.The memory played over and over in my mind, each repetition sharper than the last. The way he leaned in. The way their lips met. And the worst part—he knew I was there. He had to have known.I swallowed hard, forcing the lump in my throat back down where it belonged. Crying wasn’t an option. Not here, not now. Not over him.A sound behind me broke through my thoughts. When I turned, my breath caught. Jin was standing a few feet away, his face shadowed but unmistakably him.He didn’t speak at first, just stared at me with an expression I couldn’t place. Guilt? Regret? It didn’t matter.“Cora—”“Don’t.” My voice was sharper than I intended, but I didn’t care. I held up a hand to stop him. “Don’t try to explain. I don’t want to hear it.”But of course, he didn’t sto

    Theo's POVThe house buzzed with the hum of preparation. Cole had taken the lead, barking out orders to the catering staff and fiddling with the sound system like his life depended on it. I'd let him work, hanging back by the bar and sipping a soda. It wasn’t that I wasn’t involved—I’d signed off on the guest list, approved the playlist, and even helped arrange the seating for the VIPs. But tonight, my mind was elsewhere.Or rather, on someone else.I leaned against the counter, staring at nothing in particular. Cora’s face had a way of forcing itself into my thoughts, no matter how much I tried to focus. The way her eyes glinted with defiance whenever she called me out, her small, careful smile when she thought no one was watching—it was maddening. She was maddening. I told myself it was because of the plan. He had to keep Catty close, learn her ‘secrets’. But that excuse rang hollow the more he repeated it.“Stop brooding and help me already,” Cole snapped, waving him over to adju

    The pulse of music hit me like a physical force as I approached Theo’s front door. The repetitive bass was on the inside with a steady, hypnotic rhythm, and even though I was outside, it muffled the city noise behind me. The house was buzzing with voices, the noise being the result of the conversation, laughter, and even voices going from one side to another which raced my heart up to the chest.I paused at the end of the little road, the pale light coming through the windows painted the yard in a soft hue and made it glow. The cold, empty atmosphere outside was very much a contrast to this. I could see curtains moving, shadows of people who were dancing and talking, living without the weight that I felt like an iron blanket pushing down on me.After taking in the situation for a second, I felt my lungs pull in the air before I crept closer. Just then the door gave way slightly, with the golden bordered opening all set for a welcome. As I opened it I got hit by a tidal wave of heat

    My heart thudded like a trapped bird against her ribcage as I sat in the sterile, cold waiting room. The faint hum of the fluorescent lights above buzzed in my ears, blending with the sterile smell of disinfectant. My mother sat next to me, a silent pillar of resolve. She glanced at me, eyes sharp, no emotion reflecting in them.“It’s for the best, Cora,” my mother said, her voice steady but lacking warmth.I nodded absently, fingers twisting the edge of my sweater. The room felt tight, pressing in around me as if the air was thinning. When the nurse called my name, I stood on legs that felt like they could give way at any second. My mother followed, her heels clicking in precise, determined steps.The OBGYN, a woman in her late forties with kind eyes, greeted them with practiced calm. I sat down, feeling the crinkle of the paper on the exam chair beneath her. The doctor spoke gently, going through the necessary questions, her voice a metronome of facts and routine. My mind started to

    The end of the week brought a strange sense of nervous excitement for me, (minus the excitement part) knowing the party was just a day away. But it was more than that. Everything was building up, from the ‘heist’ plan’s aftermath to tomorrow. Seems everything was building around tomorrow. Still, I tried to keep myself steady as I sat down with Hailey at our usual spot in the cafeteria.Theo joined us, sliding his tray onto the table just across from me with that effortlessly casual look he always managed. But Hailey’s eyes were sharp, a gleam of mischief practically radiating from her.Hailey raised a brow, glancing between the two of them, before breaking into a grin that practically spelled mischief. "So, Cora," she began, drawing out each word in that knowing tone she always used when she was about to embarrass someone. Namely myself. "I was pretty sure you had a thing with Jin for a hot second there."I looked up, instantly on high alert. “Wait—what?” I managed, blinking. “Me an

    I sat at our usual table in the cafeteria, barely picking at my sandwich, my eyes darting between Theo, Hailey, and Jin (I'm not even going to ask what he was doing in the cafeteria of his old school) as I spilled out the details of my situation. Today was the day of that appointment, and the thought alone made my stomach twist.“So, this is it?” Hailey said, leaning in close, her voice dropping to a whisper at the end. “Your mom is really making you go through with… that?”“Unless we can figure out a way to stop her.” I pushed my tray aside, feeling my resolve strengthen. “She’s got it all scheduled out, and once my mom makes up her mind…” I trailed off, leaving the rest unsaid. They all knew what I meant.“So, what’s the plan?” Hailey asked. Her face was all business, her eyes sparkling with mischief. “Because I’m assuming you’re not going through with it, right?”Theo leaned back, crossing his arms as he studied me. “Yeah, what’s the plan here, Kinsley? Are you suggesting we stage

    I felt sick. Not as in a cold, sick. No, this was something else. A sickness that started somewhere deeper, gnawing at my stomach, tightening my chest. Something more... emotional. No. I couldn’t even call it that because I didn’t–couldn't admit that I felt anything.I wasn’t supposed to care. I wasn’t supposed to feel anything about Catty flirting with Theo. He wasn’t ‘mine’ to feel anything about. But the look on his face, the way he didn’t push her away, didn’t tell her to stop, made something inside me twist in a way I didn’t want to acknowledge.It's sort of frustrating because Theo isn’t even..I'm not even supposed to be having thoughts this way relating to him. Right now, he’s just doing his part of the plan.And Catty? She’s my sister. She’s family. I should want to protect her, even when she’s awful to me, even when she lies. Isn’t that what sisters are supposed to do? So why do I feel this... sharpness in my chest, this burning under my skin every time I think about how clos
