"Who's that boy?"Dad looked at me from the rearview mirror as I ate my leftover lunch in the backseat of his Bentley."That's Zane." My brother snickered from the passenger seat. "Zane Shaw. Amari's boyfriend."I let out a loud gasp as I dropped my lunch tray on the seat. "He is not! Daddddd, Millie said boyfriend!""Milan! Don't tease your sister." Dad said as he glared at Milan. "How long have you known him, baby girl?""Who?" I asked, distracted by the lollipop I just found in my backpack. Mom must have put it in there when I wasn't looking this morning. She's so sweet. "Do you want a cherry lollipop, Millie?""Lollipop is disgusting." Milan turned around and stuck his tongue out at me. "It has little worms and---,""Daaaaddd, Millie is being mean.""Milan, leave your sister alone." Dad let out a loud sigh as he honked impatiently at the car in front of us. "Babygirl how long have you known Zane?""One...two...three...four...Four days. He said I am his best friend.""Mmhh." My dad

Hey Amari, can we talk?Seen 7:00 AMI know you saw my message and missed calls. Please call me back?Seen 7:10 AMI will explain everything to you. I promise.Seen 7:30 AMAmari?Seen 8:00 AM"Earth to Amari!"Angelica threw a pillow at me, snapping me out of my thoughts. I felt my phone buzz in my hand, but I didn't bother to look at it since I already knew who it was.I rolled my eyes at Angelica before throwing the pillow back at her. "What?""Is something bothering you?" She asked, looking at me worried. "You were awfully quiet during the apartment tour."Two days ago we arrived from Italy. Zane had tried to apologize numerous times, but I had managed to cut him off right in time or simply walk away from where he was standing. His apology was either so bad I wanted to vomit or I just wasn't in the mood to listen."I'm alright," I mumbled quietly as I fidget with the hem of my summer dress."No, you're not. You're not even impressed by my apartment."Yesterday Angelica moved out o

"Let's make a promise."I looked up from my lunchbox to meet Zane's eyes. "What promise?" I asked, raising up my eyebrows."That we will forever be best friends.""Of course we will. You're stuck with me for the rest of your life, stupid."He laughed and threw a piece of lettuce at me. "And that we will never catch feelings for each other."I let out a snort. "As if. You're so annoying, I don't even know why I still put up with you."Zane laughed. "I'm not. You are. Your dad is going to kill me if we ever start dating.""He's just scaring you away, but then again I would never want to date you in this life.""Same goes for you, Vasilios. If I wouldn't know better I would think you're satan reincarnation.""Shut up."Zane smirked at me. "So promise?"Promise."Chaos.There were no other words to describe what was going on right now. It was pure chaos. It was like World War III was happening. Maids were running from left to right. My hair was being pulled in all different directions an

"I promise you, Mr. Vasilios. I don't love Amari like that. We are just best friends.""Mmh, but you look at her like she is the moon and stars."I laughed. "That's because she means a lot to me. We have been through so much together.""Are you sure you don't like her as more than a friend?"I shook my head. "Nope. She sees me as a friend. And by the way, I have a girlfriend.""You're only fifteen boy. Isn't it too early to have a girlfriend?"I was about to answer his question when Mrs. Vasilios angrily stomped out of the kitchen."Leave that boy alone, Vasilios! At his age, you were already on your third girlfriend.""Do you want lasagna?"I held my phone close to my ears as I tried to process what Zane was asking."Lasagna?" I repeated, furrowing my eyebrows in confusion. Was he high on drugs?"Yes. I made lasagna for dinner. I thought, maybe you would like some too."I was left speechless. This is not the Zane I know."You...made dinner?" I asked questionably after I got my voice

“I still don’t know about this dorm room situation,” Mom said.“Honey, she made her choice. We agreed to let her make her own decision,” Dad murmured.“But the apartments we saw were beautiful. And she’d have her privacy.”“Rena, stop it.”“Just try to talk to her, Peter. Please?”I sighed. “I can hear you two, you know.”Mom smiled at me hesitantly and Dad shook his head. As I rolled my last suitcase out the front door of our beautiful two-story home, I didn’t let their conversation dampen my spirits. I was excited to be rooming with my best friend, Hannah. I’d met her during orientation last year when we were both freshmen. And we seemed to latch on to one another. She was peppy and loud, with a boisterous laugh and curves that made every available boy on campus come over and talk to us just to get in good with her. She loved big costume jewelry and clothes that were a size too small. And through it all, we helped one another get through the tumultuous insanity that was freshman yea

“Oh, wonderful,” Hannah said.“It’s just my shampoo and stuff. It’s fine.”I scooped it up and closed the car door before I turned back to my guys. I waved my hand at them, signaling that I’d be right back. And when I did, their damn catcalling started up. Whistles filled the air and a couple of the guys gave me a thumbs-up. Then the comments began.“We give you five minutes with that one!”“I think you got ten in ya!”“Pics, or it didn’t happen, Max!”The guys burst into laughter as I snickered, shaking my head at those asshats. But when I felt someone tugging at the bag in my hand, I looked down to see the dark-haired girl fighting me for the damn thing.“Give it. I’ve got it,” she said.The bright pink of her face and the worried furrow of her brow told me everything I needed to know. She was embarrassed. And for some reason, that mattered. I held my hand up toward the guys again and made a fist, telling them they needed to shut the fuck up. And they did, too. Almost immediately.C

Dani“Ho-lee-shit,” Hannah said.The curtain dropped from my hand as I quickly whipped around.“And you’re still flushed! Did he kiss you? Did he hold you close? Tell me what those muscles felt like. Because that’s a big boy with some big muscles underneath those clothes.”I blinked. “What?”“Girl, you don’t even have your voice! He did something, didn’t he? Oh, you have to tell me all the juicy details. What’s his name? Where’s he from? What do those lips of his feel like?”I paused. What was his name? I should have asked.“You kissed a guy and you don’t even know his name?” Hannah asked.“We didn’t kiss,” I blurted out.“Then why are you so flushed right now?”Because he’s the sexiest man I’ve ever seen.“I just--he wanted to come into the room. Is that normal?” I asked.“You didn’t let him in?” Hannah asked.I shook my head. “No.”“Girl, why the hell didn’t you let him in!? I would’ve given you privacy. Come back with a pizza to help you refuel.”I wrinkled my nose. “I’m not going

“You’re in that dorm.”“Uh huh.”“On the third floor.”He grinned. “Yes, siree. And you don’t know what you’re missing, either. College girls are where it’s at. They know how to have a good time, they know how to keep their feelings in check, and they’re always wanting to try new things.”Rupert elbowed me. “You hear that? New things.”“And biker guys are always new things to girls like them.”I sighed. “You’re not a biker guy.”Benji waved his hand in the air. “When I graduate, I will be. I’ll be so fraught with knowledge on business and shit like that you’ll have no choice.”Rupert paused. “The fuck is ‘fraught’?”I rolled my eyes. “Shut up, you two.”I felt the guys staring at me as I watched across the road. All night I’d thought of that girl. Those eyes of hers kept me awake. That ass of hers kept my fingertips tingling. I didn’t know what it was about her. Possibly her clumsiness. Possibly the innocence in her eyes. I could almost smell virgins. They had it written all over thei
