All Chapters of HIS ROOMMATE WAS A LIE : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Chapter 32Sera povThe exam was finally over, my head felt lightheaded because of all notes and formulas I studied earlier but relief surged through me. Exams were finally over!.Kael walked besides me quietly, he was unusually silent the entire way back to our room. Normally he would have already threw a nasty comment about my pacing, or my distracted expression, but today was different. He was quiet.When we reached our room, I exhaled dropping my bag onto the bed. "Finally... Freedom" I muttered.Kael didn't comment immediately, he just stood near the door, his gaze was sharp and unreadable. My chest tightened at his intensity."Sit" he said suddenly.I froze. "Excuse me?""I said sit" he repeated more firmly this time.I obeyed carefully lowering myself onto the edge of the bed. My heart thudded painfully against my ribs. Kael stepped closer until he was standing right in front of me, shadowing the space around me like he owned."I'll ask you a question. Answer me honestly," he s

Luca povI’ve always thought of myself as funny, charming, a little reckless that people don’t take me seriously, and that’s was my advantage. But Seth… Seth isn’t like anyone else. And somehow, despite my best efforts, I’ve been hit square in the chest by a realization I didn’t expect I care.Really care.The cafeteria was filled with noises but all I could focus on were the dynamics at our table. Kael was there, brooding, sharp-eyed, like he could cut the entire world in half just by glaring. And he was staring at Seth. Always staring at Seth.I leaned back in my chair, a fork halfway to my mouth, pretending to examine the ceiling because the truth was, every time Kael looked at him ,I felt something twist uncomfortably in my gut. Jealousy! And I hate feeling jealous. Seth had been so oblivious, so careful, and yet… somehow magnetic. I watch him laugh quietly with River, tease me back when I poked fun, and I’d feel this almost unbearable pull. But now, Kael was in the mix an

Sera povAfter the game, we had lunch and the teachers threw an after party for both academies. All students were currently in the hall,others were drinking while others were dancing considering the Aldich girls were here too.“Come on, Seth! You’re just standing there!” Theo nudged me, laughter in his voice as he waved a cup of punch. “At least dance a little!”I shook my head, tugging lightly at the hem of my jacket. “I… don’t really know how.” My gaze shifted nervously across the hall where students from both academies crowded the place. The music was too loud for my liking, lights were spinning in different colors that will certainly bring me headache, and the scent of expensive perfume and alcohol mixed in made my stomach twist uncomfortably.Theo rolled his eyes. “Relax! It’s a celebration, not a test!”“I know,” I muttered, but my focus wasn’t on the music. It was on the boys. Kael, Alexander, Luca, and River seemed to be mingling, laughing, and occasionally shoving each other

Chapter 38 Sera POVI couldn’t breathe my chest felt tight, my stomach kept twisting uncomfortably with every thought about how Juliette came to know about my secret“What if… what if she tells everyone?” I whispered, pressing my trembling hands to my face. My voice was barely audible and my knees were drawn up to my chest, the blanket bunched in my shaking hands. “What if Kael hates me… what if...”I didn’t even finish the thought. The memory of Juliette’s smirk flashed behind my eyes. The way she had held my things,pads, tampons were the complete proof of my secret. Proof that I wasn’t the boy everyone believed me to be. A proof that could ruin everything I had fought for since stepping foot in Virelade Academy.Alexander’s warning to Juliette was supposed to make me feel safe. I should have felt relief but I didn’t. My hands shook more violently now, and I clutched the blanket tighter, imagining Juliette standing there, holding it all over again, trying to humiliate me.I curled m

Kael povI shouldn’t be feeling this way.And yet… I couldn’t stop it.Seth. That boy; my roommate, the one I told myself I could ignore, the one I insisted didn’t was the one I kept thinking about all the damn time. He was… infuriating charming in ways I didn’t understand. Always flustered, always scrunching his face in a way that made my chest tighten without warning. And the worst part? I didn’t even know why I cared so much.I knew I was straight. I’d always known. Girls didn’t make me feel like this and yet, Seth’s smile, his subtle confidence, the way he leaned over his books, pretending to study but somehow catching my gaze made me want things I shouldn’t want.The amount of jealousy I felt every time Luca lingered too close, or even glanced at him with that sly smirk, something inside me burned. I hated it. Hated it, hated it, hated it.I caught myself wanting to—no, needing to—assert my claim, show the world that Seth wasn’t just anyone. He was mine. I should be the one teas
