Lily’s boyfriend cheated with her best friend. She runs straight into Mason Cooper: her BF’s biggest rival. He’s cocky, gorgeous, and exactly the kind of trouble she should avoid. What starts as one unexpected conversation by the lake quickly turns into something dangerous because getting over heartbreak was never supposed to feel this good.
“I haven’t texted you once since I dumped your ass!” I yell, poking him again. “I don’t care if you’re fucking Leah! You literally mean nothing to me!” I continue yelling, and I’m about to poke him again when arms wrap around the front of my chest and I’m picked up off the ground and…
“Can you try, please? For Mason,” she whispers with a shaky voice. “I’ll think about it,” I mumble. I don’t know if I can handle another rejection from him. “Thanks, Lily,” she sighs. I give her a nod before I turn to leave. In the car, I plaster on my fake smile as I listen…
Harry searches my face for a moment before nodding and continuing to drag me somewhere. “Jonah’s too drunk to play, and I need a decent partner,” he explains like I would know what the hell he’s talking about. But when I see the beer pong table, I understand. “I suck too,” I try to remind…
“I’m not gay,” Oliver quickly says, making Harry grunt. “You can pass,” Mason says, holding his hands up before pointing to the bottles. Both boys quickly grab a bottle each and take a swig before putting them back in the middle. “Killian, truth or dare,” Jack smirks. “Dare.” “I dare you to kiss Lily.” “Pass,”…
“But then we…” I say. “Yeah, but you left without waking me up. I thought that meant it was just a hookup.” “I thought it would be easier,” I mutter, wrapping my arms around his waist. “It wasn’t. I’ve missed you.” Tears well up in my eyes again. “Lily.” Mason breathes out before his arms…
“You know what? I might just to see him lose his shit.” She laughs, throwing her head back. “Well, we’d better keep warming up,” Sky says. The four girls all wave goodbye before they walk off. “I wonder why Mason’s sister goes here,” Sky comments as we hit a ball between us. “It’s a bit…
“Oh my God! I’m getting a ride home from Lily Bennett!” Tayla squeals while Mason glares at her. “Are your parents home?” Mason asks quietly as we get into my car. “No. I haven’t even heard from them.” I sigh. “You want to stay?” he asks, and I nod enthusiastically. “So how long has this…
“I would never.” He gasps, feigning hurt before we both start laughing. ? ? ? At school I’ve had a smile on my face all day. I don’t actually remember the last time I felt this happy. “Why are you so happy all of a sudden?” Ava asks me at lunchtime. “I just am.” I…
I let out a small giggle before I end up telling her pretty much everything, including exactly how we met and Oliver cheating on me. “Whoa.” She breathes out once I finish talking. “I always hated Kingsley,” she mutters. “I thought you hated me too,” I mumble, picking at a loose thread on the blanket.…
“I know him,” I mouth, making his eyebrows shoot up. “No power, huh?” Jonah’s voice comes through clearly. “Nope,” Mason replies, handing him some cash. “My friend lives not far from here,” he comments, making Mason look back down at me. “I might have to swing by to make sure she’s okay,” Jonah continues. “You…
