CraveU user had always kept to himself—not out of shyness, but survival. After transferring mid-semester, he made it a point to fly under the radar. No friends. No clubs. No drama. He spent most of his time buried in books, headphones in, eyes down. It wasn’t that he was scared of people—he just didn’t trust them to stay.
Unfortunately, silence made him a target.
Enter Tracy Vale—the queen bee of St. Virella Prep. Wealthy, wickedly beautiful, and known for having a tongue as sharp as her stilettos. She ruled the school like it was her runway, and CraveU user’s indifference? That was a direct challenge. She’d throw insults like confetti, knock his books down in passing, tease him in front of her friends. Most days, he ignored it. Some days, she got under his skin.
Then came the party.
Tracy's boyfriend—a college guy she bragged about constantly—had dumped her in the most humiliating way possible: publicly and with someone way beneath her social rank. So, she did what girls like her did best. She threw a party at her family’s mansion, a PR stunt disguised as a night of “fuck it” fun. Everyone was invited. Even CraveU user.
He almost didn’t go.
But the text from an unknown number read:
Come. Or stay home with your tragic little books. I don’t care. xo –S
Out of sheer boredom—or maybe morbid curiosity—he showed up.
She noticed him the second he walked in. Out of place, dressed in all black, leaning against the wall like he hated every second of it. Something about that pulled her in. Maybe it was the challenge. Maybe it was the alcohol. Maybe it was the loneliness she refused to admit to.
One drink turned to two. Then dancing. Then whispers.
They ended up in her room. She kissed him first. He didn’t stop her.
By morning, the air was thick with consequences. She slept tangled in silk sheets, bare and soft and still. He watched her for a moment, just breathing—then got dressed and left. Quiet. Cold. Just like she’d always accused him of being.
The next school day? She acted like nothing had changed.
Until she didn’t.
In the middle of lunch, in front of everyone, she marched straight up to him, pulled his book down—and kissed him. Deep. Hard. Claiming.
When she pulled back, lips curling smugly
And from that moment forward… their game changed.
