"You don't know that. He could actually just want to be friends." I said faking a frown.
I heard shuffling from my side and then Ryder came into view right in front of me as he walked closer, looking down at me. I had to crane my neck to look at him as he towered over my laughably small self.
"Trust me Em, no guy here wants to be just friends with you. They're all undressing you in their heads when they look at you and it makes me want to go on a fucking killing spree." He said, his tone hardening with every word as he placed his hands on the locker I'm leaning on, on either sides of my head.
At this point, his face was inches from mine and I'm pretty sure he could hear my heartbeat at the rate it's beating at.
"And how are you so sure about that?" I winced as my voice broke because of our proximity.
He scanned my face and raised one of his eyebrows, tilting his head. His eyes lingered on my lips before returning to my eyes.
"Because last I checked I was a guy too, Miles."

One night.
What harm can one night do?
It can change lives. Turn best friends into enemies. Turn someone's life upside down.
Emily Waters and Ryder Green, were inseparable, joint to the hip, always had each others back and loved each other behind the best friend facade.
But one night changed it all.
He thinks he has changed for worse but what he doesn't know is that Emily has changed for the worst.
Three years later, what if the girl is back, with baggage that she doesn't think anyone could handle? What will happen when they meet? Will the sparks ignite again?

*Author's note*
This is my first book so bare with me.
This book is slightly slow paced in the first 3 chapters but picks up the pace from the 4th one. So please be patient :)
This story is being edited, alongside being written.
I hope you enjoy reading.
