ELI'S POV"You are taking her to campus?" I asked, looking at Sebastian across the breakfast table. He looked a bit uncomfortable."My mother suggested it " he said carefully."Your mother suggested it " I repeated slowly."She thought it would be good for Bianca to see the campus " he muttered. "Since she might be enrolling semester for her masters.""Right " I said, looking down at my food.The breakfast table was full this morning. Selena was at the head looking like she had already won something. Lucas was beside her, quiet and careful like he always was when Selena was in a kind of mood. Bianca was across from me neat and put together giving nothing away.. Sebastian was beside her looking everywhere except at me.Just a normal family breakfast. Normal."Eli " Selena said, "you have an early class today yes?""Eight o'clock " I said."Good " she said. "Sebastian can drop you on the way."I looked up. Sebastian looked up at the time. Our eyes met for one second before we both looke

Sebastian's POV"Bianca."I said her name loud in the empty hallway and it still didn't make sense.Bianca took that picture.Bianca who arrived less than a day ago. Bianca who sat across from me at breakfast this morning smiling warmly asking Eli about his literature class like she hadn't spent part of the night standing at her window in the dark taking pictures of us in the garden like a calculated spy.Bianca who looked me in the eye last night and said, "Just be careful."I stared at the message again.Tell him about the bet.. I will.My phone buzzed again before I could even process it."I'm not your enemy, Sebastian. I just need you to do the thing."I stared at the screen. Then I typed back."How long have you known?"The reply came fast."Since the hallway yesterday. The way you both looked at each other was enough." A pause. Then "The picture was insurance."Insurance.She took a picture of me and Eli as insurance.I had to lean against the wall for a second. One second. Beca

SEBASTIAN'S POVHe said it quietly; it was like a punch to the gut. I was waiting for him to yell, to throw something to be the Eli I knew.. He just stood there, his eyes on me. It was so much worse than if he had screamed."Eli…""Take off your belt and your shirt " he said, his voice flat. He turned away and started dragging the teacher's chair to the middle of the room.I stared at him unsure what to do. "What's going on?" I asked.He didn't look at me. "Just do it Sebastian. Take off your belt and your shirt."I slowly reached for my belt. Pulled it off then shrugged my shirt off my shoulders. I stood there holding both, feeling a bit awkward.He turned around. Looked at me for a long moment. I could see something in his eyes. He didn't say anything. Then he crossed the room, took the belt from me and pushed me down into the chair.He doubled the belt over. Tested its weight, his thumb running along the leather. Then he bound my wrists behind the chair looping the belt around the

BIANCA'S POV"You are staring at him again."I quickly looked away from the doorway, almost knocking over my coffee mug on the counter.Sebastian was leaning against the kitchen wall, his arms. A small smile on his face. He had been watching me for a while."I was not staring at anything." I kept my voice flat."You have been staring at that doorway for ten minutes." He pushed off the wall. Went to the fridge, opened it and looked inside. "Eli went upstairs twenty minutes ago.""I know that." I turned back to the window."Are you sure?" He closed the fridge without taking anything out. "From where I was standing it looked like you were waiting for him to come down.""From where you were standing." I repeated slowly. ". Where exactly were you standing, Sebastian? I did not hear you come in.""I have been standing here for a while." He moved to the counter beside me. "You were distracted."I did not say anything.The kitchen was quiet. Selena had gone to her office hours ago. Lucas had

ELI'S POV"You look terrible " Jasmine. She didn't even seem to care that her words were harsh. She stepped back from her doorway. Let me in like she had been expecting me to show up at six in the morning looking exactly like this. Like something the night had chewed up and spit out.I walked in, dropped onto her bed without saying a word.She disappeared into her kitchen and came back with two mugs of tea. She sat down cross-legged on the floor across from me. Waited with a quiet stillness that was somehow louder than talking. That was the thing about Jasmine. She never pushed. She just sat there with this patience that made silence harder to keep than any amount of pushing.There was no way I was going to last under it."I saw him leave her room " I muttered. "This morning. Five forty-seven."She wrapped both hands around her mug slowly."Biancas room " she said carefully."Yes."She was quiet for a moment. She just looked at me with those eyes of hers that missed absolutely nothing
