Chapter Twenty-FiveOur Spot≋The next two days I stayed in my room avoiding everyone because I knew they were downstairs hoping I would come down.Charlie and Ezra had come to my room multiple times to see if I needed anything but I knew they were just trying to find an excuse to talk to me.I just... I felt so weird. My head was spinning; every time I would try to get my shit together and thoughts in order, I just couldn't stop flashbacks and things I did not want to think about from flooding my head.I felt disgusting in my own skin. I was mad and sad and so many things all at once.I just didn't want to talk to anyone because the pity and sorry and worried looks in all of their eyes made me want to squirm.They really thought this was the worst I have been through?Ha. That's funny.I just wanted to put up my rough exterior and forget about feelings all at once. If hadn't let my guard down and let myself feel pathetic and bad for ruining their plans by saying no I didn't want to

Chapter Twenty-SixLike Foxes≋"I hate to bring it up," Charlie spoke up, a sheepish look on his face. We were all sitting in the cafeteria as it was lunch. "But with the game being this Friday, there is no way the Herbrooke guys are going to come in here all civil. They're going to want bloodshed and tears - as intense as that sounds.""What are you saying?" Luke asked, his eyebrows pulled together in confusion.I guess it was safe to say that the Herbrooke guys would be mad - more mad than usual. Because we reported Taylor, they lost one of their players. Because of the rivalry, they were going to make this even more personal and come looking for a rough fight."They're going to want to start as much drama as they can." Charlie explained. "Being realistic, they're going to be looking for a fight. Even if Taylor dug his own grave, which he did, those guys aren't going to play easy.""I'm confused," Jade mumbled."They would play rough either way," Noah stated. "But even if they step

Chapter Twenty-EightDid We Win The Game?≋I woke up in a familiar room.Right when I came into my senses I groaned, shutting my eyes again, tightly. I sucked in a deep breath as pain shot through my whole body. My whole upper body felt sore and weak and almost lifeless."Tiffany," Noah exhaled, coming over to his bed that I was laying on.I squinted my eyes open as I looked at him. His hair was a disheveled mess, concern all over his face. "Hey, Ace." The words came out in a weak croak. I grinned at Noah who couldn't look more like a worried, sobbing mess even though he wasn't sobbing.I wondered why the hell I was at Noah's house as I tried to sit up but failed when the pain shot through my all my limbs again."Woah, take it easy." He said softly but in panic at the same time. "Let me help." Noah put one of my arms around his shoulders as he gently lifted me up so I was in a sitting position. He put a pillow behind my back before taking a seat on the edge of the bed beside me.I sm

Chapter Twenty-NineA Little Hasty≋I stirred awake the next morning, shifting in the bed as my brain regained conciousness.I blinked a few times until I got into my senses. I looked up to see Noah who must've felt me move because a few seconds later his eyes fluttered open."Good morning, sunshine." He mumbled, a smile on his face. His voice was hoarse and groggy from sleep.I exhaled through my noes as I rested my head back down on his chest, not wanting the warmth and comfort to go away just yet. "Morning."Noah reached over to grab his phone from the bedside table. I couldn't see what he was doing since my head remained rested on his chest, my arm draped across his torso, but I could tell he was scrolling with his free arm since the other other was still wrapped around me.I shut my eyes, still sleepy.Noah exhaled deeply, continuing to do whatever on his phone, "Charlie, Luke, and Ezra headed back to your place this morning since we were still sleeping. Said we should meet them

Chapter ThirtyStreet Speeding and Killing a Bunch of People≋Just like I had expected, the group got into a conversation about what happened at the soccer game yesterday not too soon after Noah and I got to my place.Everyone was gathered in the basement, some of the boys playing video games while Joy and Jade were on Charlie's laptop on the Sephora website."Why would we let them get away with practically - sorry to say it like this, guy practically almost killing Tiffany?" Leo sputtered, looking between Noah and I like we were crazy.Luckily, I had Noah who was doing most of the talking for me. "Look man," Noah sighed. "I'll be straight with you guys. If we do anything to get back at them, they'll only come back with worse. Theoretically, what if they come back and hurt Tiffany again? I don't know about the rest of you but I for one much rather drop the revenge and let them feel like they won if that means Tiffany won't get hurt again."I ignored the concern Noah had for me when I

Chapter Thirty-OneBecause of What Happened≋"Heads up.""What?" I turned around to see Ezra walk up to me and lean against the locker beside mine. He crossed his arms over his chest and gave me an amused look."Cade. He wants to ask you out on a date."I slammed my locker shut and gave Ezra a baffled look, "What the hell are you talking about?"Ezra shrugged nonchalantly, "I'm telling you what I know. He's into you and wants to ask you out."My eyes widened and eyebrows furrowed, "Shut up. You're kidding."Ezra tilted his head, a smirk resting on his face. He was too amused and finding this more funny than I was - considering I didn't find it funny at all. "Nope. He actually came up to me and asked me if I thought it was a good idea.""I'm assuming he expects you keep your mouth shut," I mumbled knowingly, narrowing my eyes at Ezra.Ezra shrugged casually, "Yup, but since when do I listen to other people?""So you're not fucking with me right now?" I asked slowly. I knew he wasn't b

Chapter Thirty-TwoRed≋"I never finished the-""Who is that?" I cut off Charlie who was in the middle of talking about some assignment he had. My eyes narrowed at a familiar face along with a new face I hadn't seen before all the way down the hallway.I was standing with Charlie, Jade, Luke, and Kai against the lockers, all of us talking and wasting time before we had to start getting to our first classes for the day."Who?" Luke asked in confusion, trying to figure out who I was referring to as he followed my line of sight. The hallways were crowded with students right now since there were still twenty minutes until classes started.Down the hall was Noah who was walking, talking, and laughing with some redhead who I had never seen before. She was stunning. Absolutely fair and perfect skin, perfectly straight but also voluminous hair that practically swayed as she walked, and the most bright blue eyes I had ever seen. She looked like she could easily be a model."Her," I exhaled, m
