I swat my mom’s hand away for what has to be the tenth time. “It’s fine.”

“It isn’t straight,” Mom argues, reaching up to adjust my cap anyway.

Dad immediately raises the camera around his neck and takes a picture. He’s been doing that all morning, saying he can’t afford to miss a “moment.”

All around us, Westfield High is buzzing with teachers organizing lines, parents wandering around looking just as overwhelmed as their kids, and students dressed in the same navy-blue gown

    Lila The morning we leave for college arrives much too soon, and it feels strange how ordinary the day looks. The sun rises exactly as it always does. Birds chatter outside my window, a lawnmower starts up somewhere down the street, and the world keeps moving even though mine is about to change forever. Mom insisted on making breakfast this morning even though none of us had much of an appetite for it. And since we arrived at the Brooks’ house, Dad hasn’t stopped checking that my suitcase is zipped every five minutes. I’d be thoroughly amused if I wasn’t so nervous. “You’ve looked three times,” I tell him. I check the time on my wristwatch again before looking back at the towering suburban house in front of us. The sudden feeling of déjà vu rises in my chest as the memory of my first time at the Brooks’ house flashes in my mind. It’s still surreal to me how far Tyler and I have come from that day. Mom r

    I swat my mom’s hand away for what has to be the tenth time. “It’s fine.”“It isn’t straight,” Mom argues, reaching up to adjust my cap anyway.Dad immediately raises the camera around his neck and takes a picture. He’s been doing that all morning, saying he can’t afford to miss a “moment.”All around us, Westfield High is buzzing with teachers organizing lines, parents wandering around looking just as overwhelmed as their kids, and students dressed in the same navy-blue gown as me.“We should go say hi to your teachers,” Mom says, before dragging Dad along with her.I breathe a sigh of relief as soon as they’re gone. I may love my parents to death, but their excitement has been nothing short of suffocating. My eyes scan the crowd, looking for familiar faces, and I finally find one.Maya throws herself at me as soon as our eyes meet across the crowd. “Can you believe it? We’re actually graduating,” she screams.“I know.”“I think I’m going to cry

    Tyler’s POVThe smell of coffee and vanilla wakes me up, and for one blissful moment I forget everything else.Then, Sophie comes barreling into the living room wearing one sock and yesterday’s dinosaur pajamas, shouting “Morning!” loud enough to wake the dead.Maya groans from somewhere beneath three blankets. “I’m never having kids. They don’t understand mercy.”“I heard that!” Sophie shouts proudly.“I know you did.”I laugh quietly and sit up from the air mattress we all ended up sleeping on, causing the living room to look like the aftermath of a camping trip.Alex is already halfway through a bowl of cereal, his tuxedo traded for sweatpants and one of my old football hoodies. “Morning sunshine,” he says to me, ducking when I fling a throw pillow at him.Lila walks in with Mom, wearing my old shirt and shorts, her hair tied into a messy bun. She catches me looking. “What?”I smirk, a fuzzy feeling spreading through my chest at the sight

    Tyler’s POVI’m still in disbelief as my friends and I drive back to my house in the limousine Alex hired.Maya is showing Alex the hundreds of photos she took tonight, and my best friend has a wide grin on his face even though he’s hardly listening and mostly watching the excitement on her face. They have no idea what it means to me that they decided to ditch going to the afterparty at one of the players’ house and choosing to sleepover at mine instead.Jake was the only one who chose not to come, and I understood his reasons for not wanting to. I could never ask him to be in the same house as the man who took his father away from him. I can only hope that mine is man enough to seek his forgiveness one day.Lila’s shoulder presses lightly against mine, her fingers laced through mine where no one can see them. Every so often she gives my hand a small squeeze, just enough to remind me she’s there. It makes me feel lighter than I have in weeks, and I wonder how I thought I could have s

    The school gymnasium has been transformed into something out of a fairytale.Strings of warm lights drape from the ceiling like stars, gold fabric hangs from the walls, and hundreds of tiny candles flicker across the tables. Music fills every corner of the room, mixed with people’s laughter, and teachers pretend not to notice students sneaking extra desserts.Surprisingly, the night isn’t as terrible as I expected.Maya drags us into the photobooth for pictures, with Jake complaining the entire time – even though I catch him posing more than once. He straightens his collar for the camera every single time, then acts nonchalant the moment the flash goes off.For a little while… I almost forget. But every time my eyes wander toward the entrance and the doors open, my heart lifts for a few seconds, only to fall again when someone else walks into the room.The DJ changes the upbeat pop song currently blaring through the speakers to a slower melody that has couples immediately drifting tow

    I spend twenty minutes staring at my reflection before I finally decide there’s no point changing anything.The girl looking back at me is still me. She just looks… unhappy.My blue dress, the same one I shopped with Mabel and Maya, falls softly to the floor, the satin catching the late afternoon sunlight pouring through my bedroom window.Mom insisted on curling my hair this morning before leaving me to get ready. “You are not spending prom looking like you’ve declared war on hairbrushes,” she’d announced.I smooth invisible wrinkles from my dress.This isn’t how today was supposed to go. Tyler was supposed to pick me up, and Mom and Dad were supposed to embarrass both of us by making us pose for a hundred pictures on the porch. I would’ve complained and Tyler would’ve laughed at my dilemma.Instead…There’s a knock at my bedroom door. “Lila?” Dad peeks inside, and his eyes widen “Wow.”I roll mine affectionately. “Don’t tell me you’re about to

    I’ve barely slid fully into the house when the door slams shut behind me.Tyler grumbles incoherently as he walks past me to the living room, where a colossal number of toys and books are scattered on the table and chairs.A soft gasp escapes my lips as I take in the room, far bigger than all the b

    My smile dies the second the door swings open. Gasping, I stumble back as if burned by the deep scowl currently being aimed at me.“You!” I whisper, and at the same time, my arch-enemy’s scowl morphs into a sinister smile.Just this Monday, that same smile flashed my way just before I was tripped i

    There’s an extra skip in my steps as I make my way to the teacher’s office. Mrs. Danvers had asked me to see her after school hours, and it’s all I could think of throughout the day. Six thousand dollars for two weeks… That’s more than I can save in months of back-to-back babysitting. Students t

  • 15 Days Babysitting For My Star Quarterback Bully   Chapter One

    I hate school.Not in the way an average teenager hates it, no. My hatred for school was borne out of the literal need to survive torment every single day of the week.
