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 POVConrad and I had been together for more than a week now and everything had been perfect so far. We had both dropped out of the prom king and queen race and now, our relationship was drama-free.Everybody knew about us, when I said everybody, I meant everybody. Auntie Laurel had been so happy when we told her about us, Jamie jokingly said I deserved better and Jeanette said she already saw it coming although she still hadn’t forgiven me for giving up prom queen after everything she had put into it.Everybody at school also knew about Conrad and I. Stig was disappointed when I told him about the whole change of plans but he forgave me after I found him another prom date. Toralei’s reaction was the most shocking one. When I told her Conrad and I were now together and we both were dropping out of the race, she only said ‘Cool’ and then she walked away.But I knew there had to be something up her sleeves. I made both of us lose the chance of becoming prom queen, I would

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? Conrad sat next me me and asked if I was okay. I nodded. Class soon commenced and I shut the thought of Liam out of my mind.***“What do you think?” Conrad asked me as he put the necklace around my neck. It was silver with clear rhinestones. I loved it.The class had just ended and we had recess before after school study sess

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

Conrad Declan's POV"I have no idea what to get my girlfriend for Valentine's Day," I said to Carter as I sat in a chair next to his bed.We were in the school nurse's office because Carter had indigestion and needed to lie down for an hour."Dude, you're only worried about Valentine's Day? What kind of friend are you?" he managed to say, trying to nudge me with his elbow but I dodged."Come on, you'll be up in no time. This is my first Valentine's Day with Jenna and I want it to be special," I said, tapping my foot anxiously.Being with Jenna was amazing. I loved her and wanted everything to be perfect on Valentine's Day. I wanted her to feel special because she was special to me."Relax, bro. I have an idea.""Really?""Yeah, but first, get me my phone," Carter said with a smirk."Where is it?""In my locker, I forgot to grab it."Sighing, I stood up. "I'm only doing this for Jenna."Carter smiled. "I know you're crazy about her. Now, go get it."Rolling my eyes, I left the nurse'

Jenna Brooks’s PerspectiveI didn't like the way Liam glared at me when Mr. Bassett called both of our names, nor did I appreciate Conrad's annoyed reaction as he walked out of the class. It was unusual for him to be so angry out of nowhere. I wasn't sure if he was mad because I got paired with Liam or if it was something unrelated.As Mr. Bassett left the class, Liam slowly approached my desk and leaned in, placing his hand on it. He didn't say anything, as if he was waiting for me to speak."Hey," he finally whispered."Hi," I replied softly."My grades have slipped a bit, and I really need this project to improve them. Will you work with me?" He leaned in closer and smiled suddenly. "So, what do you say? Let's work together?"I stared at him for a moment before regaining my composure. This was too easy. I had expected him to make a big deal out of it, but he was ready to work together. Was there something I needed to be worried about?"Sure, let's make this work," I replied, and h
