Conrad Declan’s POVA week later…“It’s been over a week and he hasn’t left her side. Anytime I see her, they’re together. They eat lunch together, they go to PE together, and they take walks together, every day. I don’t know how much more I can take.” I said in frustration as I stared at Jenna and Stig across the cafeteria.After Jenna and Stig were nominated as prom king and queen, they hadn’t left each other’s side. They were probably hanging out all the time so they could be able to campaign for final votes but I still don’t like it. It hurts.“Sounds like it’s mostly just eating and strolling. It could be a lot worse.” Carter said, nudging me so I could quit staring at Jenna and Stig across the room. “Dude, you’re making it too obvious that you’re jealous. I’m pretty sure there’s nothing between them. It’s mostly fan service.”I averted my gaze back to the plate of untouched hot chowder on my table and I scrunched my lips. “I feel like this school doesn’t put a lot of effort into

Jenna Brooks’s POVI couldn’t help myself, my jaws dropped to the floor and my eyebrows showed up to the ceiling. What was she suddenly talking about?“What do you mean?” I asked her and she sniffed loudly.“I was in the restroom that night that you guys kissed and I made the video. I went to Toralei and showed her the video because I wanted to be on her good side. But she uploaded the video and made me lie to you that Conrad did it.”My cheeks got red and my eyebrows got narrowed. My blood suddenly ran cold at the realization that I was fooled by Toralei. That she made me see why she wanted me to see. That I failed to take Conrad’s word for it. I felt guilty for not believing him.“I’m sorry, Jenna. I shouldn’t have recorded the video in the first place.” The junior said again.“It’s fine, I’m happy you told me the truth.” She nodded and took one last look at me before walking away. I couldn’t hold back my anger. My bright red face was telling everything. How could Toralei stoop so

Jenna Brooks’s POVConrad’s hands slowly traveled to my face and his lips found mine again. He put one of his arms under my shoulders and the other under my butt. I had a vague sense of being lifted and realized he was carrying me towards the bed.He gently lowered me onto the soft mattress and I leaned back watching his muscular frame hover above mine. He trailed kisses down my neck and along my collarbone, eliciting soft moans from my lips. He traced the line of my collarbone and soon, his lips were against mine again. He kissed me gently, carefully. I knotted my fists against his shirt, pulling him closer. He groaned softly, low in his throat, and then his arms circled me. I shuddered as Conrad slid his hand under my robe, running his fingers over my skin. My brain was completely numb, surrendering to hormones. I was about to explore something I had never done before and my brain was trying to keep up with the passion. I felt my nerves heat up and I didn’t realize it when I moane

Jenna Brooks’s POVWhile I took a shower, Conrad decided to make us breakfast. I brushed my teeth, showered and threw on a robe, then walked back into my room. I walked to my wardrobe and pulled out a pink long-sleeved dress that stopped mid-thigh and I slipped into my flip-flops. I tied my curls into two messy buns and stepped out of the room.As I walked down the stairs, the sweet smell of bagels and scrambled eggs filled the air. Conrad was in the kitchen making them so I walked over to the kitchen counter and leaned on it.“I’m almost done,” he said as he glanced at me over the counter and back to the eggs.“Alright,” I smiled a took a seat on the dining table.After some minutes, I watched as Conrad set up breakfast on the table table. He placed a cup of honey tea next to my plate and smiled.“Thanks,” I muttered and he smiled back.As we were about to dig into our meal, Jeanette and Jamie walked into the house. I had expected Trek to be excited or something since they just spent

Conrad Declan’s POVI leaned against the car as I waited for Jenna to step out. As I saw her walking out of the house, I felt like I’d walked into a dream. My heart clenched, she looked beautiful in her sleeveless white gown.“Hey,” she said slowly, giving me a shy smile. I melted at the nervous look on her face but still, she had never looked this beautiful.“You look amazing,” I said and she smiled coyly and looked away. I pushed the button on the automatic locks and opened the car door for her. She sighed and sat down. I walked around the car and slid in next to her. Without saying anything, I pulled out of the driveway and turned on the radio. “How about we watch a movie?” I asked, glancing at Jenna before glancing back at the road.“Sure,” she said dryly and I frowned.“You don’t sound enthusiastic,” “No, we can do whatever you want,” she said. There was silence for a moment before she spoke again, “And, thank you.”I concentrated on the road, as I said, “For what?”“I would p

Jenna Brooks’s POVThe same Liam who told me he would never dye his hair now had golden hair, the same Liam who told me he hated tattoos now had a cobra tattoo on the back of his palm, and the same Liam who hated ripped jeans was wearing one. What happened to him?Finally, I was able to find a breath and filled my lungs with air. “Liam…” I trailed off.He smirked at me before taking his seat, unfortunately, the one in front of me.Conrad soon walked in and he was equally surprised to see Liam. He walked up to his chair and said, “It’s good to have you back, man,” and then they fist-bumped.How? They weren’t even that close but he could fist bump him and not me?

Jenna Brooks’s POVLiam was one of the few guys I knew that didn’t smoke but seeing him with a cigarette and thick smoke coming out of his mouth, broke me.When did he start smoking? Didn’t he know about the repercussions? He had never smoked, why did he suddenly pick up the habit now?A smirk curled up on his lips as soon as he saw me, “If it isn’t Conrad’s little girlfriend,” he said in a sarcastic tone and leaned against the wall.His words didn’t hurt me as much as the sudden change in him. He was the opposite of what he used to be and it saddened me. I didn’t want to see him like this, I didn’t want him like this.“What happened to you?” I asked as softly as I could as I took a step closer to him. He frowned, “What do you mean?”“You know what I mean, Liam. This isn’t you.” I said again. He took out the cigarette from his lips and tossed it aside.“I haven’t changed, it’s still me.”“No, Liam. It isn’t. Everything about you is different now. Your hair is different, your dressing
