Fiona’s POVRowen's words made blood soar my ears. I stared dumbly at her like she had spoken in an extinct language, “What?”“Do. You. Want. To. Hang. Outside. School. With. Me?” Rowan asked punctuating each pause with a clap of her hand. “I had to remove the curse words in case you didn’t understand what I said.”“Oh, fuck off!” I exclaimed without heat, grinning from ear to ear as she laughed contagiously. “It’s just… I’ve never ditched classes for once. Not even I was sick.”“I know. Doesn’t it feel exciting? There’s nothing wrong in breaking the rules once in a while.” Rowan said giddily. I shit her an unimpressed look. “I’m beginning to think you’re a bad influence after all.” But she was right. The thought of me leaving college during lecture hours sent a thrill to my body. It was electrifying and it left me feeling extremely giddy. Rowan snorted. “Please. You wouldn’t know a bad influence if it hit you in the face. So what do you say? Are you in?”Dopamine flooded my veins a

Fiona’s POVIt was already dark when we rode the last of the rides and the most of the amusement parks stalls and rides were in the process of closing for the night and the visitors warm and exhausted from a rather thrilling day, filed out tiredly from the park.Rowan and I stood by the amusement parks main entrance sipping Boba drinks we bought from a store whilst waiting for Lyn who went to fetch his car from the parking lot a little distance away. We wanted to come with, but he told us to wait for him by the gate instead, stating something along the limes of us being tired or something like that, I don’t remember.Rowan poked my cheek lightly, drawing my attention to her smiling face. “How did you like your first time ditching school?”I gave a flippant shrug. “Meh. It was alright.”Rowan narrowed her eyes dangerously to slits, ready to take on the offensive which dissolved into laughter. “Oh fuck you! This is the most fun you’ve had in your life, admit it.”I took a decisive slurp

Fiona’s POV“Fiona? Are you okay? What’s wrong?”We were face to face, so close I could see every fleck of color in his pupils, the way they shifted like liquid chocolate in the low light. For a moment, I lost myself in the tiny reflections they held—my own face, drawn and breathless, staring back at me. His gaze felt like a weight, pressing gently but insistently on my chest, making it hard to breathe yet impossible to pull away.The faint, warm scent of his skin lingered between us, a mix of something clean and earthy, like rain-soaked wood. It wasn’t overpowering, but it was enough to make my head spin, like I was standing too close to a fire. I could almost feel the heat radiating off him, his presence pulling me in, an invisible gravity I didn’t want to resist.There was something electric in the air, a quiet hum that buzzed in my ears and made every nerve in my body come alive. I became hyperaware of everything—the soft sound of his breath mingling with mine, the slight hitch in

Fiona’s POVThump. Thump. That was the sound of my heart pounding in slow motion. The walls of the room seemed to be closing in on me. I couldn’t breathe. It felt like I was trapped, drowning underwater with a heavy ball chain tethered at my ankles. I was helpless against the onslaught of emotions bombarding me: despair, dread, anger, anxiety, fear and panic—each worse than the last. How could Lyn do this to me? We had a mutual, silent agreement to keep this a secret. What was the essence of exchanging numbers if he was going to notify the Luna afterwards? What the hell was wrong with him? What the fuck I’m I going to do in this situation. Fuck, this was messed up. I messed up thinking I could trust him. I was so angry at myself and at Lyn for putting me in this extremely horrid situation. I couldn’t even bring myself to look at Jin. No, I don’t think I would have bore the emotions I would see there. I couldn’t even look at his mother. I couldn’t stomach the snide sneers and icy s

Fiona’s POV“Where the hell have you been? I texted you the moment I got to school and you swore you were on your way.” I snapped, glaring daggers at Lyn who had sense enough to look ashamed. “I’m sorry. I got held up. And honestly I was afraid of meeting you face to face. Have you seen your face when you’re angry? It’s fucking scary, man.” He murmured, shifting away from me in a show of fear to prove my point. “Excuse me?!” I spluttered in disbelief. “Are shitting me? Have you seen yourself? If I’m scary, then what does that make you?”Lyn balanced his chin on one hand and put on his best shirt-eating grin. “I’d go for fuckable, charming and ridiculously hot.”“Ew, cringe.” Rowan muttered thickly with disgust. “Narcissistic pig is what you are.” I retorted at the same Rowan said hers. Lyn seemed unbothered by our vivjd6shiw of disgust and shrugged. “What can I say. I’m an acquired taste. It’s not my fault you both are blinded by it.”Rowan and I rolled our eyes so fucking hard it
