A failure

_Harper POV"So, this is all because of you?" She lashed out and raised her hand to hit me.I shut my eyes, bracing for the pain but it didn't come.When I opened my eyes, Jace was beside me. I stared at him, surprised to find him there."What did I tell you, Reagan?" He said, his voice thundered across the rink.I saw fear in Reagan's eyes and watched her back out a few steps."She was... I was just trying..." Reagan stuttered.It was new and refreshing to see her cower like this. Before, she had bullied me without care."Didn't I warn you to stop whatever this was?" Jace stated again, still sounding pissed.Is he taking my side right now? I wondered and felt a twitch in my stomach.Perhaps this was a prank.Someone would appear with a camera in hand, recording the whole thing.But instead, I watched Reagan grit her teeth and walk out. Gina followed after her.Jace turned to me, but Austin stopped him, stepping in between us."Dude, you don't need to pretend to be good now. You are

Don't need a hug

_Harper POVMy eyes widened."Oh." I immediately released him."I'm sorry." The words tumbled out breathlessly.My face burned. What had I just done?I could feel Marla's eyes on me, worriedly.Thomas stared at me in surprise and lowered his arm slowly. Then his gaze shifted toward me.I swallowed and moved back three steps, my heart slamming against my chest."I guess I should also blame you for this," he said suddenly, his hands now resting in his pockets.I stiffened, lowering my head a bit."If you're not up to the task," Thomas continued coolly, "I'd be more than happy to hire someone else."My stomach dropped. I clenched my hands tightly, trying to think of how to hold my position so I wouldn't get kicked out.Jace moved closer, wanting to step in between us, his expression still set in a dangerous frown. I spoke up before he could say something to upset Thomas again."I'm sorry. I promise to do better," the room fell silent after my apology.Thomas gave a short nod."See t

Prove him wrong

_ Jace POV The air froze between us. My eyes stared at her. She blinked innocently at me. I could hear her heartbeat. Now, that is dangerous, Harper Scott. In a second, my eyes flickered down to her lips. The natural pink lips stared back at me, beckoning. I couldn't stop myself. I ran my tongue over my lips. My eyes gazed at them. My actions must have frightened her as she let out a hard hiccup. "If you show that to my parents, I will kill you," I let out suddenly, killing the burning tension between us. I watched her blink and I almost kissed her cheek. She pushed me off at last and I didn't resist. There was a stretched silence between us for a long moment. "Why did you fail the test?" she asked, finally finding her voice again. I rubbed my forehead slightly, not wanting to deal with this. But she wouldn't give up. "The questions on the school test weren't even difficult," she stated. I looked away. "It's none of your business." "Yes, it is." She grabbed my

Could it be for me?

_Harper POVThe scream from behind made me quickly turn and look up to see the whole cheerleading team and hockey team staring at us.Reagan stood in front, her eyes widened in murderous rage as she glared down at me.I rushed up, grabbing my skirt while keeping my head down, feeling embarrassed."What is going on here?" Reagan's voice rang through the rink angrily, demanding.Jace got up and stood beside me. I looked at him for help."Nothing that's any of your concern," he replied.I turned to Reagan and her furious gaze rested on me. I sighed and decided to walk away but Jace grabbed my hand in that moment. He dragged me out of there while everyone watched.I didn't know why I followed him so dumbly, but I did.He stopped when we got to the locker room and let go of my hand."You really are bold, following me into the boys' locker room."It was like I suddenly realized where we were. I cleared my throat once, pretending not to be bothered."Why can't I be? It's just you and me,"

Don't know how

_Harper POVOh my gosh!I almost yelled when Reagan ambushed me.I drew back, seeing the other girls with her."What do you want?" I asked, my heart still beating heavily from earlier.She didn't reply. Instead, she snatched a bucket from one of the girls and threw it at me.I gasped in shock, drenched from my head to my toes."That's for flirting with Jace," she lashed out."I wasn't flirting with him, I was just…" I tried to explain but paused.I definitely could not let anyone know that I was living with Jace or that I was tutoring him.Reagan moved forward, grabbing my chin."Quit with your pathetic lies, Harper. I know you like him," she spat.I tried to push her off but she held tighter, hurting me more.The girls came to grab me on her instruction and I was forced to my knees.Reagan let go of my chin and grabbed my hair instead, yanking it back."Please, let go," I cried."That stupid letter," she whispered low. " I know it's for Jace," she said.My eyes lifted to hers, asto

Don't want to stop

_Harper POVI parted my lips, but the words only hung in the air.His eyes trailed down to my lips for the third time that day. It sent a tingling feeling down my spine.My eyes followed his gaze and landed on his lips too. At the thought of kissing him, my throat felt dry.His thumb caressed my cheek carefully, eyes locked onto mine.As he leaned closer, I shut my eyes nervously, anticipating. But the door opened and I instantly pushed him off.Other students walked into the room, their gazes fixed on us, questioning.I looked at Jace who had fallen to the floor and rushed out of there before anyone could suspect anything.Harper POV Cont'dI knocked on Jace's door and pushed it open. It was empty.I frowned and pulled out my phone.Where are you? I texted.No reply.Typical.I dropped onto the chair by his desk and waited.Five minutes passed. Then ten.I tried to do some work but my eyes felt heavier the more I pushed.I stared at the bed. A few minutes of rest before Jace gets

Jealous of other guy

_Harper's POV"Stop."The word came out sharper than I intended.I pushed against his chest and finally managed to put some distance between us. My heart was racing so hard it hurt.Jace stared at me, breathing heavily, but he didn't let go completely. His hand remained around my wrist.My hands didn't let him go either. I subconsciously held onto his shoulders.His hands cupped my face and I felt myself losing composure again."Why did you kiss me this time?" I asked, not sure what answer I wanted."I don't know," he replied, his eyes lifting to mine.He drew closer again."Ever since the first time I kissed you, I can't stop wanting to kiss you again and again."I stared into his eyes and saw that he meant every word he had just said.I held onto him a little too tight."I thought you hated me."He stroked my hair slowly, gently."I thought I did too. But it turns out I was only lying to myself."My eyes searched his again. Was he serious?I didn't have time to get my answer. He

Count me out

_Harper POVThe moment was interrupted when Clive walked in on us as our faces were drawing closer.I quickly grabbed the plates of egg sauce and walked to the table. Jace and Clive followed.We all sat down and silence invaded the space.The only sound came from the clinking of cutlery against plates.I couldn't resist the crispy toasted bread and munched on it."You can have mine too," Jace pushed his piece of bread toward me.I looked at him with a smile."Can I also have one?" Clive asked, cutting in.I watched Jace slice him with his glare and almost let out a chuckle."If you're hungry, go make your own meal," he snapped at Clive and pulled the plate away from him.Clive looked from me to Jace and then back to me.I pretended not to catch that and continued with my meal.Finally, he cleared his throat."So..." he began awkwardly.I looked up.Jace looked up too.Clive pointed his fork between us."Are you two together or what?" he asked.I almost choked."No."The answer flew o

Hang out with me

_Harper POVI hesitated, grabbing Clive who was about to get out of the car."I don't think this is a good idea," I told him."Trust me. Come on," he said and got out of the car.I opened my door and he was standing there, his hand stretched out to take mine.I looked up at him.He gave a nod.Trusting him, I placed my hand in his and let him help me out.The moment I was out of the car, eyes fixed instantly on me. I could hear the jealousy and irritation in their voices."Isn't that the nerd?""Who is that handsome guy next to her?""She couldn't possibly be with him."I heard the disgust in their voices as they stared daggers at me.I swallowed hard. I must have lost my mind agreeing to play this little game with Clive."Maybe this isn't a good idea after all," I told Clive who still held my hand."Don't tell me you are chickening out already?" he asked.I pursed my lips.I knew I had made a bet to prove him wrong about Jace's feelings for me, but I didn't think the process would d

None of your business

_Harper’s POV“I know you are playing a game with Clive. Whatever it is, stop it,” he warned.I grabbed his shoulders, not knowing what to say.What exactly does he know?“I’m not playing a game. He’s just a good friend offering to drop me off at school,” I said.“Good friend? You don’t even know him that well,” he snapped.I clenched my teeth angrily and pushed him away, but he didn’t budge.“I know him well enough. He’s good to me,” I snapped. “He’s not like someone who couldn’t even give me a ride.”Jace’s expression hardened.“That’s because I don’t want anyone knowing we live together,” he stated.I scoffed, turning away.“Oh, right,” I let out.“It’s embarrassing being seen with the school outcast,” I said.Jace’s grip on me softened. For a moment, I thought he was going to let me go.That somehow made me even more upset. So I tried to leave. But he pulled me back onto the chair.I wanted to snap at him again, but he covered my lips with his. The kiss was unexpected. I didn’t
