Avery’s pov
It’s been two days since I last spoke to Xade. Yes, I am counting the days because we have never not spoken for this long before. The only time we do not is when we are busy during classes or on dates.
Two days without speaking to him and I am miserable. It’s night, and Mel and I are stuck doing our papers. She’s biting the tip of her pencil and lets out a loud sigh after a while.
“Let’s go out tonight.”
I pushed up my glasses and looked up at her, pointing at the papers in front of me. “Busy.”
She rolled her eyes. “We both know you can get this done in a few hours and it’s not due until like next week. Come on, I need a wing woman tonight.”
She’s been in a slump since earlier and though I have asked her about it, she told me it’s nothing to worry about. I doubted that it was just something to sweep to the side. However, it was clear to me that Mel didn’t want to tell me what was going on.
A wingwoman?” I raised a brow, wanting her to elaborate without straight up asking her. She did.
“I–Xade and I are on a break again,” she confessed. Her words made. my heart leap and for all the wrong reasons. I shouldn’t feel happy about this. God, who have I turned into?
Like a breakup?” I murmured, hoping the happiness I felt didn’t seep through my words. How can I be such a hypocrite?
Melissa frowned, her lips working into a pout. “Not a break up, just a break. We’ll get back together soon enough anyway.”
Those words made me ball my hands into fists and I hide them by playing with my shirt. This was Xade’s shirt, one that had been his favorite in high school. He had given it to me because it had gotten too. small for him. I have always worn it to bed, it somehow makes me feel safe.
Melissa threw herself back on the bed and let out a strangled groan. “I just don’t get why he just suddenly said we should stop. Like before he’d just ki*s a random girl and I’d get the idea. But he actually opened his mouth to tell me we need to stop.”
I bit my lip, looking away from her. Her words made me realize how much I am a fool to be gloating about them breaking things off. Xade has always been a womanizer. I am a fool to think they broke up because of me.
Xade probably hates me right now and is disgusted, no wonder he has been avoiding me like the plague.
So we need to go out to that frat party tonight. I will dress the f*cking sexiest I have ever and get super wasted, ki*s a random guy and have you take the picture and send it to him. Maybe that will get him to finally see me.” With a huff, she sat back up and gave me her most awarded puppy dog eyes.
I couldn’t say no. The least I could do for her is this after being the world’s most terrible friend. So I nod and she squealed, flying across. the room to hug me.” Thank you babe! You can invite Kyan too.”

I cringe. Hell no.
Xade has been avoiding me, but I have been avoiding Kyan. I made up plenty of excuses to not spend much time with him. Because let us face it, I can’t face him after what I had done. And it’s not only because of guilt but because I can finally accept that Kyan and I were missing something.
I didn’t have that burning passion or craving I felt with Xade that night. Kyan doesn’t invoke these feelings in me. Instead, I am repulsed or squirmy with him. I just had to figure out a way to break up with him.
“I don’t think Kyan will be up for it,” I lied. Kyan would definitely be up for it.
Mel pulls away. “Oh please, Kyan loves to party. Besides he can bring Xade along,” she winked. Make it easier for him to see me and get jealous,” she gripped my arms, ” Come on, do it for me,” she pouted. once more until I caved.
Twenty minutes later and Mel and I are sneaking out of the dorms to head for the party. I am dressed in a red body hugging dress that reaches my mid thighs and finished it off with red tie up heels. Mel on the other hand had a very short sparkly dress and knee high boots. She will certainly capture a lot of males attention that’s for sure.
Did you text Kyan to meet us there?” she asked.
I nod. “I did.” Though I wish I didn’t. But maybe a good time is all he needs before I break off things with him.
“Is he bringing Xade along?” Her voice is breathy with hope. Unfortunately, I’d be the one to crack it. ” He didn’t say.” I shrugged,
I didn’t think Xade will show up if he know I am attending. Or maybe

he will and will avoid me. I am not sure I can survive him ignoring me. I swallowed, blinking back frustrated tears. Thankfully Melissa doesn’t notice my mood and fishes out her phone with a huff.
So stubborn.” she gritted and stopped a young girl who was passing by. She looked confused at Mel as Melissa pushed the phone in her hand. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
Snap a picture of us.” She ordered the girl and move over to me, throwing her arm over my shoulder and striking a pose. “Smile babe, we look hot,” Melissa smirked as the girl snapped the pictures.
I am sure I look awkward as hell. When the girl gives Mel the phone back, she swiftly types something on her phone. “I am sending this to Xade. Let’s see if he can resist not coming now after seeing me look so tempting.”
