All Chapters of Heartbreaker Next Door : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

“Ugh, Jade, can you hurry up?! We’re going to be late for school!” Harry called from downstairs, sounding increasingly annoying with every syllable.“I said I’m coming! And shut up already!” I yelled back as I drew a perfectly winged eyeliner.“Come shut me up,” he snarled, sounding like the little spoiled brat that he is.“Don’t tempt her,” I heard Dad warn him. “She’s been trying to get rid of you since you were a baby.”“No, she’s not,” Harry said, but he didn’t sound so sure. As soon as I appeared on the landing, he asked, “Have you?”I shrugged nonchalantly, “If Dad says so, then it must be true. Come on, get out of my way. You were the one shouting about going to school, so can I please pass?”He moved out of the way, but not before sticking his tongue out at me and flipping me off.I lunged to grab his finger, but the little snake was too fast for me. I ended up chasing him outside while Dad called out for us to be careful, but as soon as I crossed the threshold, I acted all co

“Alright, everyone, take your seats.”Taking a seat would have been easy for me if I hadn’t arrived in the middle of the semester. Seats and cliques were already taken and established, so I waited until everyone else had taken their seats before trying to locate an empty one.There was none.The teacher, a young woman with a middle part and cat–eye glasses, didn’t seem to care.“Class, we have a new student. Everyone, welcome Jade Adams.”There was some mumbling and grumbling and something that sounded like ‘Welcome Jade Adams.’The teacher didn’t seem to care that half the class sounded bored and half asleep, probably because she was already used to it. But it worked in my favour anyway because it meant that I could go back to being a shadow—the one in the corner. The one who sees everything yet goes unnoticed. The one who… You know the drill by now.Unfortunately, my shadow days might be over, I realised, when I looked toward the centre of the class – of course, totally cliché – to

“Wait, what?”“Which one of the boyfriends? She has a lot of them; boys are like toys for her.”Oh wow. Well then, I guess that was expected.“Uh… the uh… the hockey one? I mean, I think he plays hockey. I saw him with his gear outside…” I paused, deciding that I didn’t want anyone to know that Kendall’s boyfriend was my next-door neighbour. The way I saw it, I couldn’t trust anyone.Especially Lea, who was too eager to talk.“Wait!” she said, her eyes widening excitedly. “You don’t mean Theo Evans, do you?”I didn’t know his name, but I nodded. “Tall, dark hair, hazel green eyes…” I paused when I saw the way Lea was staring at me. Then she smiled, and I began to worry about the state of her mental health. “What is going on?”“That girl is such a bitch!” she laughed. “Yup, that’s Theo. He is her boyfriend all right, but I swear she’s fucking other guys on the side.”“Not that I care anyway,” I shrugged. “I just don’t understand why she has it out for me. I don’t care who she fucks or

The final bell went off, and the sound of chairs scraping the floor filled the air.Out in the corridor, students poured out of their classes, filling the hall.Ms. Pascal came into the hall before anyone from our class could leave.“Who are those on cleaning duty today?”She walked over to the roster on the wall and, using the tip of her pen, traced a line down until she got to the names.“Brielle Houston and Theo Everson. Get the class cleaned as soon as possible. We are keeping the neatest class award until your class graduates. Is that understood?”“Yes, Ms. Pascal,” Brielle said a little too cheerfully as she cut a glance at me.She was being way too obvious. It was a miracle Kendall hadn’t suspected a thing at all.Nate came over to my table. “Hey, dude,” he raised his hand for a dap. I took it and used it as an anchor to rise.“Hey, man, can you do me a favour?”“Nope, I’m not going to do your homework for you again.”“It’s not that,” I nudged his shoulder. “Look, I have to be

I glanced over my shoulder to make sure that my nosy brother was not peeking from any window to see me sneaking up on the boy next door.The one I vowed to hate.Don’t get me wrong, I hate him. He is cocky, arrogant and smug. And don’t forget that he tried to kiss me!He may be all these things that I hate, but I am not blind, nor am I an idiot. He is cute, and oh my goodness, I didn’t know he was that hot under his uniform.No wonder Kendell is so protective of him. I would be too if I got to fu – touch! Touch that body every day.I crept closer, making sure to pick my steps carefully on the green grass. My footsteps were muffled thanks to the wetness of the grass. I made my way closer to the fence, ducking slightly so that he wouldn’t see me if he looked over by chance.It was cold as hell, but then again, he was working out, so his body was covered in a fine sheen of sweat, causing his basketball shirt to cling to his body. He wore a pair of matching shorts that showed off his stro
