Katie's PovFor the last two weeks, Killian Huxley had found a way to burrow into my life and under my skin. He wasn't everywhere—more like he was in places you least expect someone like him to be which made the experience a lot more intense.Evan on the other hand had recently turned into the bright light in the dim environment that was my high school. I couldn't even tell the difference if it was him being nice or he was just being civil and I on the other hand, just wasn't used to that.I was in the library trying to read when the Principal's voice came over the intercom“Students, there will be an emergency assembly to be held in the auditorium. You are all expected to be present in the next five minutes, thank you.”I couldn't help but wonder what the emergency assembly was for. Was the Pack under attack or what?I quickly packed my books, and the rest of my belongings, and headed out of the library.The hallway was chaotic, with students shoving each other in their haste to reac

“Am I in trouble?” I asked, which to me was a really dumb question to ask, considering I left in the middle of Leslie apologizing and also, school won't be over till another thirty minutes.He chuckled, a small cloud of fog leaving his lips. "I think we're both in trouble, you more so than me though."Evan chuckled again, before sitting on the bench keeping some inches between us as he stared ahead. I took out one earpiece and handed it to him so it didn't feel rude that I went back blocking him out.He took it and fixed it into his ear.“Mazzy star…that's a little old school," he said. "I thought you would be on the current blaze.”“Current blaze??” I chuckled. “Prof… Evan, no one says that. Not even me who is a little old school.” I saidHe shrugged. “Time dynamics is funny. What is old to you is new to me and vice versa with everyone else," he explained. "You would get to understand that someday.”I didn't know what to say in response, so we just listened to the song in silence, th

Katie's PovHe shrugs it off. “It is the least I can do after all I—you have been through.”I gave Evan a smile in agreement, as we drove to the bus stop."Th–""I'm going to stay here till the bus comes," Evan said before I could thank him and bid him goodbye.I sighed in defeat, because his mind seemed made up, and no amount of words would make him change his mind.Evan and I waited by the bus stop until the bus came and we bid each other goodbye.Arriving at the cafe, I noticed Shedrack had cleaned and set up everything perfectly."Shedrack," I called out to him, and he turned to me with a bright smile, which only made me feel more guilty. "Sorry, I came late, and let you do all the work," I apologized."There's nothing to be sorry for, Katie," Shedrack said dismissively with a smile across his lips. "I just did what anyone would do."I smiled in return and made my way to the backroom to get changed into my work clothes.After changing into my work clothes, I walked over to where S

Killian’s POV“You know what, Ana? I will catch you and let me freshen up.”I left without looking back. Walking straight into a separate elevator which she strolled right into, causing the air to instantly go stale with awkwardness. I totally forgot we took the same private elevator to the top floor rooms where my parents had decided to move her to from the hotel so we could be ‘closer’, regardless of how much I told them I didn't need the extra effort they were putting in to make it work.*Flashback*“Mum, I took her on a date, bought her flowers, and we went strolling. All the while I'm working with the locals for votes and watching over the new business. What more do you want from me??”I had been complaining of her words of ‘encouragement’ which only made me feel like I wasn't doing enough for Ana.“I’m not saying you aren't doing enough for Ana. I'm just saying I know how difficult it can be with your schedule. That's why I brought her closer so you both can be in the same build

Katie's PovKillian's influence… is Mum's actually extended to my boss as well, as I was giving a few days off to attend Shedrack's party. I rummaged through my closet for over an hour searching for the coolest clothes I could come up with, but all my clothes were pretty much the same. Different colors of faded hoodies, baggy jeans, and some tees. The only feminine clothing I had was the gown my father gave me when he threw a party and planned all those stunts with Killian.After stuffing my bag with my clothes, I put on a pair of jeans and a casual T-shirt, and headed downstairs. The sound of a car horn blasted from outside and I knew Shedrack was here already. According to him, the main event was today and Sunday would be for just lazing around while we tried to recover from our tons of bad decisions. The idea of bad decisions would usually scare me and be enough reason to avoid going to the lake house with them but I was already sold on the idea of living and having this one fun w
