Weybridge Academy: The Complete Series

by Alexandra Moody

I glanced at Sawyer who didn’t share any of the tension I felt. He looked the picture of ease as he watched the race, and when he caught my worried expression, he smiled. “Stop stressing,” he said. “Like he does many things in life, when my brother races, he starts out slow but finishes hard and fast.” “Sawyer!” Anna gasped from beside me. “That sounded way too sexual.” He shrugged. “What? I’m just saying it how it is.” I shook my head and focused back on the race, but Anna leaned in close to me. “Sounds like you and Wes should be doing more than just kissing,” she murmured, nudging me in the side. “Anna, get your head out of the gutter. I’m trying to watch the race.” “Okay, okay.” She fell silent, but I could still see her smirking at me from the corner of my eye.

“Ugh, because Luther is so ridiculous. Can you believe him? He bought every ticket for my shift at the kissing booth.” I laughed. “Shut up. It’s not funny,” she said. “I’m so embarrassed.” “There’s nothing to be embarrassed about.” “Isn’t there? Because him buying all the tickets wasn’t even the worst part. Did you see the way he was dressed?” I slowly shook my head. I’d been so caught up in their argument I hadn’t noticed what he was wearing. “No, how is he dressed?” “He’s dressed as Draco Malfoy,” she said. Her eyes were wide, and I could see she was fighting some kind of internal battle. “And you know how I feel about Draco…” “Like you want him to slither-in?” Amber guessed. “Ha, that’s a good one, and exactly,” Anna said. “Man, my head is so messed up with all this. How did he even know I’m obsessed with Malfoy? I swear, he dressed up that way because he knew it would get me all confused.” “So, you’re feeling confused about Luther?” I asked. “No!” She shuddered. “Please let’s just pretend this conversation never happened. I’m planning to wipe this entire night from my mind.”

But I had a bad feeling I would hate myself by the end of this. I was going to move heaven and earth for Isobel, but I was afraid by the time I had it would already be too late.

WHATTTT AWWWWWW SO CUTESY DEMURE :)

“He might apologize next time he sees you.” “Maybe.” I didn’t feel confident though. Not after last night. “I kind of want to punch him myself all the same.” Wes chuckled. “Then go for it. He definitely deserves it. I just want you to do whatever puts a smile back on your face.” As I stared into Wes’s eyes, it hit me just how lucky I was to have him. He had been a good friend since the day I met him, but I had discovered he was an incredible boyfriend. We’d only been officially dating for a week, and already my ex and my family drama were getting in the way. Wes didn’t seem phased though. He just wanted me to be happy.

Awwww. So sweet :')

“And look, I might be biased,” he continued. “But my advice is just forget about Noah. He’s clearly got some issues, but he’s not your problem anymore. I’m your problem.” He leaned in close to whisper the final words in my ear, and I laughed at the tickle of his breath on my neck. “You’re not a problem,” I whispered back. “In fact, I think you might be the solution.”

I lovee :)

“Has Noah said anything to you, Cress?” I asked. “He hasn’t asked me to choose between you and him, if that’s what you mean,” Cress said, her voice surprisingly gentle. “Maybe because he knows I’d pick you.” My heart warmed at her words, and I felt like I could cry. It was stupid, but I’d needed to hear that. To know that Noah couldn’t steal another person from my life. Especially not one I cared about so much.

Awwwww so sweet :,(

As I closed the door, Anna let out a frustrated groan from beside me. “Now we can’t hear them,” she said. “Crack the window a bit.” “I’m not going to crack the window.” I laughed. “Give them a minute.” “Screw that.” She leaned over me and practically pressed her nose to the glass. Luckily though, she managed to resist the urge to open the window. “Ooh, she’s tucking her hair behind her ear,” Anna said. “That’s like the Cress version of flashing some cleavage.” “Anna.” I laughed. “Let them have some privacy.” “He’s going in for the kiss,” she squealed as quietly as she could. She’d either not heard me or simply decided to ignore me. It was probably the latter. “Yep, they’re kissing. I think she likes it. Kaden looks like he gives good kisses.” “Anna,” I groaned. “What?” She finally turned to me. “I don’t need a play-by-play of their make-out session.” Her running commentary was making this all much more awkward than it needed to be, but it made me curious enough to sneak a glance out the window from the corner of my eye. She scoffed and pulled herself away from the window. “Don’t worry, they’ve finished.” I turned my head as Cress stepped toward the car. I could see Kaden over her shoulder. There was a goofy smile on his face, and he was staring after her like a lovesick puppy.

Bro called me single in so many ways

“Damn it, Frank, can’t you see I’m in love with you?” she gasped. The whole table remained still and silent, and neither Frank nor Norma seemed to notice there was anyone else in the room. I couldn’t believe she’d finally laid her feelings for him bare like that. Given Frank’s blank and completely shocked expression, it was a surprise to him too. Norma looked ready to storm off, but Frank reached out and grabbed her hands. “Norma, darlin’, can’t you tell I’ve been in love with you since the day I met you?” he replied. “What?” She sounded breathless, and she kept opening and closing her mouth as she struggled to form a response. It must have been the first time in her life she’d been close to speechless. Frank slowly stood from his chair, still holding Norma’s hands. “The coffee isn’t the only reason I come here every day. Norma, I love you.” “Oh, you fool,” she said. “Why didn’t you say something?” “I didn’t know whether you’d feel the same way.” “Well, now you do. Frank, I love you too.” A second later they stepped into each other’s arms and kissed. The table erupted with cheers and whistles, but the two of them still barely noticed us as they lost themselves in a kiss years in the making. It was impossible not to be overwhelmed with joy at the sight of the pair finally together. I turned to look at my mom, and she winked at me as she clapped along. “Wow, I guess you were right about your mom’s turkey,” Cress murmured to me.

CRESSIE T-T

He grabbed me up in his arms, and I sank happily into his embrace. We’d only been apart a few days, but it felt like much longer. I was so at ease in his arms and knew this was exactly where I was supposed to be—curfew or not. “I missed you,” he said. “Me too. I didn’t want to go another night without seeing you.” I lifted my lips to his, and he pulled me close, pressing our bodies together as he deepened the kiss. It was filled with passion and yearning; it was the kind of kiss you could lose yourself in. If this was the way Wes kissed me when we’d been parted for a few days, maybe I needed to spend some more time away from him.

Me: No!!!! Are you crazy? Wes: Crazy for you. Me: Ha, ha. Very funny. I got caught too. I’m grounded till next week and have detention on Friday. Wes: Same, but I have a meeting with my rowing coach Friday after school, so my detention is Saturday morning. Still worth it. “You look very happy for someone who just got detention,” Cress said, noticing my smile as I looked at my phone. “Wes is so sweet,” I replied. “And his kisses were definitely worthy of detention.” “That good?” “I guess what they say about absence making the heart grow fonder is true.” Cress looked thoughtful and then smiled. “If that’s the case, maybe I should sneak out and find Kaden.”

“You don’t still have feelings for her? You don’t want to get back together with her?” “Isobel, I’m with you. Getting back with Sarah never even crossed my mind.” He clasped my hands a little tighter. “I would never do anything to hurt you,” he said. “You don’t have anything to worry about.” As I looked into his eyes, I knew he was telling the truth. Wes was too kindhearted, and I honestly couldn’t picture him cheating on me. Even if he did, I couldn’t imagine he would lie about it on top of that. “Sorry.” I shook my head. “It’s just hard for me not to jump to conclusions. You know I’ve been cheated on before.” “I know,” he said. “And I’m sorry I didn’t tell you I saw Sarah. I just didn’t think to say anything because we barely spoke.”

I NEED A MAN LIKE THIS LOWKEY

Matthew chuckled. “Okay, let me grab my coat.” Mom went to get hers too, before the three of us set out into the New York streets. Matthew took us to a small ice cream store just down the road from his place. It was surprisingly fancy for such a tiny place, and it had such a wide array of unusual flavors I had no idea what to pick. I was a little surprised when Matthew went for two scoops of peanut butter brownie chip. He seemed to me like more of a vanilla ice cream kind of guy. They even had an Earl Grey tea flavor, which I could have easily pictured him choosing. Mom got honeycomb while I went for the Christmas special, which had chocolate swirls and was laced with chopped pieces of candy cane. It tasted amazing.

I WENT THERE DURING SPRING BREAKKKK, THEIR CHOCOLATE FUDGE WHATCHAMCALLIT WAS LIK GERMAN CAKE :(

“Cress,” I said again. “Seriously, what’s going on? “Isobel…” she said. “You know this is a birthday party for Noah, right?”

OMFGAHHHHH

“Because despite the way I’ve acted and despite what you may think, everything I’ve done has always been for you. For us.” My breath caught, and I stilled in his arms. I was trapped by his gaze. Confusion swirled through me as I tried to make sense of his words. What did he mean he wanted another chance with me? How could everything he’d done have been for us? Why did he even think there still was an us? While I didn’t fully understand, the way Noah was looking at me told me he was very clear about what he meant and how he felt. He was looking at me like he wanted to stay out here in the rain dancing with me all night. He was looking into my eyes with the same adoration he’d had when we were together. He was looking at me like I was the only thing he wanted. And I knew I shouldn’t be dancing with him. I quickly stepped from his arms. It had been one thing to agree to dance with him when I thought he hated me, but when he was saying these things to me and looking at me this way, it felt wrong. I was with Wes, and dancing with Noah was starting to feel like I was betraying him. A flicker of hurt crossed Noah’s eyes as he stared across the space between us. He nodded though, and I knew he understood.

Dangggg

My grandfather is a dangerous man, and I couldn’t let anything happen to you.” He was sitting next to me now on the long leather bench seat, and he reached out a hand to touch mine. “I’ve spent years hiding my true feelings,” he continued. “Pretending that the most important thing in my life was my grandfather and his company. I’ve done plenty of things I didn’t want to at his command, but hiding my feelings from you was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do.” Noah’s words made my heart leap and my stomach drop at the same time. He was hiding feelings for me? How was I supposed to react to that? He’d treated me like he hated me for so long, like he wanted nothing to do with me. But now he was saying it was all to protect me? I thought back over all the conversations we’d had, the arguments, the stolen looks, the kisses. What was real and what wasn’t? I didn’t know what to say. I wanted to find out more, but I also didn’t want to have this part of the conversation in front of my parents.

Wowie wow wow

“Like I said, I know. But it doesn’t stop me feeling this way. I love you, Isobel, and I would do anything for you.” His words slammed into me with the power of a tidal wave. They rolled over me and pushed down on me, leaving me disorientated and struggling for breath. I rubbed a stray tear from my cheek as I looked out at the frozen pond. My heart couldn’t take this. It was all too much. Noah’s confession was going to break me all over again. As the surge of emotion washed over me, I somehow managed to stand my ground, take a breath and respond. “It’s too late,” I said. “I understand why you did what you did, but it doesn’t change anything. I’ve moved on, and you should too.” He looked like he wanted to argue, but I cut him off before he got a chance. “I want you to take me back to school,” I said, looking out at the lake once more. “And then I want you to forget about me. Forget about us.” “I’ll take you back to school if that’s what you want.” “Thank you.” I released a breath, relieved he wasn’t going to argue with me. I went to walk back to the car, but Noah continued before I could take a step. “But forget about you?” he said. “That’s impossible.”

“Have you ever seen anything more beautiful?” I asked. “No, I haven’t.” Noah wasn’t looking at the snow as he spoke. He was looking at me.

beautiful boy wanted my heart, I needed to walk away from him because I’d already given it to someone else.

:(

Our team motto is hit them first, hit them hard, and take no prisoners.” I might have laughed if she didn’t sound so stern. The sound of a whistle screeched through the morning air, and the snowballs stopped flying. I peeked over the top of the bench to see Coach August standing in the center of the courtyard. He was still in his pajamas too, but he was also wearing a thick coat and snow boots. Had he decided to stop the fight before it even really began? “The battlegrounds are contained to this courtyard,” he called out, his voice projecting loudly across the wide-open space. “If you stray beyond it, you’re out. If you get hit, you’re out. No snowballs above the neck, so if you hit someone’s head, you’re out. Are we clear?” “Yes, Coach.” The answer was loud as everyone in the courtyard responded. It sounded like the entire school was out here. “Good. Then let this year’s first snow battle begin.” He blew his whistle, and screams and shouts echoed across the courtyard as snowballs started hurling through the air once again.

LMAOOOO

“Do you like the room?” he asked. “I love it,” I said. “And the view…” There were no words. “I thought you’d like that,” he said. “And you’re right next door to me.” His cheeks flushed slightly as he glanced away. The thought of Wes sleeping in the next room had me a little flustered as well. We’d joked a few times about getting caught in each other’s rooms after curfew, but there were no teachers clamping down on the rules here. “So, you’re saying you’ll easily be able to hear me snore then?” I asked. He laughed, and the awkward tension that had briefly appeared between us dissolved. “I’m sure you don’t snore,” he said, stepping into the room. “And even if you did, I’m sure it would be adorable.” “You don’t know that. I could sound like a freight train.” “I have always liked trains.”

IDK WHA BLANCA IS TALKING THEY R SO CUTE TOGETHER :(((

I knew I couldn’t stay mad at him. “It’s okay.” “No, I shouldn’t have let him get to me. I should have checked on you. Hell, I should have been the one to stop you from crashing.” “Seriously, Wes, I’m fine. Nothing bad happened. But I think that’s enough skiing for me today.” “Are you sure?” He sounded disappointed, but I felt like it was more with himself than me. “Yeah, I’m sure. I’m getting a little hungry too, and Anna mentioned something about a buffet…” “Oh, yeah, this place has the best buffet,” Anna confirmed with a grin. “I’m starved too, so I’ll come with you.” I could have kissed her. “You boys should head up the mountain and do some real skiing,” Anna added. Sawyer quickly agreed. “It does look good up there, Wes.” Wes hadn’t taken his eyes off me though. “I’m happy to stay with you…” “No, it’s okay. You don’t want to be stuck down here all day. Go and enjoy yourself. It’ll be fun to hang with Anna.” He seemed reluctant to leave me, but he eventually agreed. “Okay, but call me if you change your mind,” he said. “I’ll come find you.” “I will.” I reached up and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

HOW HEALTHY AND ADORABLE CAN THIS COUPLE GET THO :((

“You were being too reckless,” he said. “You were being too persistent.” “God, I love you, Isobel.” I fell silent, and the blood rushed from my skin. My heart seemed to both swell and shatter at the sound of that word. How easily he said it. How he looked at me like I was everything to him. How he could still feel that way about me when I’d spent weeks telling him he shouldn’t. He gave me a sad smile, like he knew exactly what was going through my head. “I shouldn’t have said that.” “No, you shouldn’t have…” “But I’m not sorry that I did. Yes, it’s not fair of me, but I don’t really care. I love you, Isobel, and I would happily fall a million times over if it meant I got to hold you in my arms like I did today.” I forced myself to glance away. “We should get home.” He nodded, but as we climbed into the truck, he continued. “You can try to ignore this all you want, Crash. But that won’t change the way I feel about you. Nothing will ever change that.” I refused to look at him. Refused to listen to him. Refused to let his words burrow their way into my soul. But it was growing harder to ignore how much he cared about me. And after seeing him hurt today, I was starting to realize there were feelings inside me that might also be too strong to ignore any longer.

OMGAHHHHY STAHPPP CALLING ME SINGLEEEE :(

felt so small. I kept waiting for my heart to shatter, but maybe it had already broken too many times; maybe there was no longer any part of it left to destroy. Instead, I just felt empty and sad. Most of all, I feared I might be losing a friend as well as a boyfriend.

I feel so scared of this happening to me after being with kenneth, so scared of rejection that i basically changed my identity because of the heartache he caused me. Even tho you cant see it in the outside, i still miss his text reminding me how much he loved me every day.

“I thought about her constantly over the years,” he said. “Sometimes I wondered if perhaps time might have morphed my memories of her. Made her into some sort of dream or fantasy that didn’t really exist as I imagined. But the moment I heard her voice and the first time I saw her... Well, she was everything I remembered and so much more.” I smiled at him. I knew how incredible my mom was, but I’d never heard someone else talk about her like this.

A soft pink glow lit up the sky, and the crack of a firework exploding quickly followed. I didn’t look upward though. I couldn’t seem to take my eyes off Noah. He seemed unable to look away either, and he slowly lifted a hand to cup my face. “Happy New Year, Isobel.” “Happy New Year, Noah.” His eyes dipped to my lips, and the look of longing in his gaze nearly broke me. I still felt so scared of my feelings for Noah, but right now, my heart didn’t seem to care. There was only one person I wanted. Only one person I needed. And his bright green eyes were currently staring into my soul, asking for me to give him just one more chance. My breath held as Noah lowered his head toward mine, and my heartbeat slowed to thump in tandem with the drawn-out pop of the fireworks in the distance. It felt like time stilled as he moved closer until his lips finally met mine. His kiss was perfect and beautiful, and a part of me felt like it was only now that I was truly at home. Just one kiss, and I was overpowered by my feelings for Noah. They broke free of the carefully constructed cage I’d trapped them in and flowed through me so hard and fast I thought I might be swept away by them.

STOP CALLIN ME SINGLE BRO :(

“Wait!” I yelled. One of the paramedics turned at the sound of my voice, but I didn’t give her a chance to try to stop me as I barreled into the back of the vehicle with them. “You can’t be in here, Miss,” she said. But my eyes were only on Noah. “I love you,” I blurted out. “Noah, I love you so much. You nearly died tonight, and I just can’t handle the thought of a world without you in it. A world where you don’t know just how much you mean to me. I’ve loved you even when I’ve hated you, and I just needed you to know.” Noah’s face was so pale, but a beaming smile widened his lips. “I already knew all of that, Crash. I was just waiting for you to realize it too.” I let a laugh break through my tears and lowered my head to his. Our lips met in a soft kiss that somehow soldered together the many cracks that had splintered my heart and forged it into something new. Something unbreakable. When I pulled away, he stared up at me. His eyes were filled with awe, like perhaps my heart hadn’t been the only one the kiss had mended. His lips slowly tugged upward into the kind of devastatingly beautiful smile that made me want to kiss him again and again. I reached over and placed a hand on his chest, and he lifted his own to keep it there.

Awwwww, this is why im delulu

“I still can’t believe you took a bullet for me,” I whispered. “When are you going to get it, Crash? I’d do anything for you.”

I need this type of man :)

I might have laughed with him, but the reminder he was injured stayed my lips. I hated he’d been hurt. That his life had been in danger. “Please promise me you won’t ever do that again.” “I can’t do that, Crash. I’m always going to be there to catch you when you fall. But, I have to admit, as fun as it is to rescue you on a weekly basis, I’m really hoping that your brushes with death have come to an end now my grandfather is in custody.” “I really hope so too,” I agreed. He lifted a hand and gently brushed his thumb against my cheek. “I have a feeling we’ll be okay.” He lowered his lips to mine in a soft and sweet kiss. Our kisses had always been passionate before, but this one made me feel like I was truly adored. I wanted to hold him tighter. To kiss until we were breathless and my mind was completely muddled, but we had time to kiss that way tomorrow or the day after that. It seemed too much to imagine it, but I had a feeling we’d get a lifetime of those kisses. I pulled back, trying to give him space as our embrace grew more heated. “We don’t have to kiss right now. You’re hurt…” “Don’t have to kiss?” Noah actually looked offended. “Do you have any idea how many times I’ve thought about this moment? I had big plans to sweep you off your feet. Clearly, that’s not going to happen right now, but my lips aren’t broken, and I’m more than happy to prove it to you.” “Hmm,” I replied. “I could probably do with some convincing…”

I’d been seeing him look at her like that more and more throughout the year, and I wasn’t sure I could go another night without saying something. “Are you ever going to admit you have a thing for Anna?” I asked. Luther’s eyes practically twinkled as he glanced back at me. “And have her hold that against me too? I don’t think so.” I shook my head. He was so confusing. “So, you do like her?” “Like her?” He laughed. “That girl’s going to marry me one day. She just doesn’t know it yet.” My mouth dropped open. “What?” He grinned at the shock in my eyes. “How is she going to marry you if you won’t even admit you like her?” “Perseverance,” he replied. “And it helps that we’re going to the same college next year.” The music changed and Luther grinned as he glanced at the dance floor again. “That’s my song. I better go see if my girl wants a spin.” He started to stand but then turned back to me. “Great party, newbie. I’m really glad I came.” I glared at him but laughed. “Do you think you’ll ever stop calling me newbie?” “Nah, you’ll always be the new girl to me.” He winked and took off after Anna. I watched him go onto the dance floor and hold out his hand to her, inviting her to dance. I half expected her to roll her eyes and walk away, but the next thing I knew, she was in his arms. She had a horrified look on her face as he happily spun her around, and it was only after the song ended, when he bowed and walked away from her,

OMGAHHHH ITS ARCHER AND ADDY IN ANOTHER BOOK :D

Now the topic had turned to kissing, I found myself lost for words. All I could think about was closing in on her lips and silencing us both. The tension I’d sensed building between us ever since she’d sat down next to me was only amplifying, and I struggled to keep my heart from racing. Even though Anna’s eyes were still narrowed on me in disgust, she wasn’t pulling away from me. If anything, it felt like she was leaning closer. Like she was thinking about kissing me just as vividly as I was imagining kissing her. Like, as much as she hated it, she wanted it too. “I’ve made enough mistakes tonight,” she murmured, almost to herself. While her words suggested she was fighting the pull between us, her voice had softened, weakened, like she was slowly giving in. “What’s one more?” I asked. She started to move toward me, and I edged closer to her. I struggled to believe this was really happening. Anna had never shown the slightest interest in me this way, and yet, it felt so right, like it should have happened long before this. Her lips were just about to brush mine when the door to the pantry burst open and Cress poked her head into the room. “Anna, I’ve been looking everywhere for you,” Cress said when she saw us. “Uh, what are you guys doing in…” Before I knew what was happening, Anna had jerked away from me and, with surprising speed and power, slapped her hand across my face. My cheek stung, and my eyes flashed wide with surprise. Anna looked just as shocked as I was and ...

WHY CRESSS THEY WERE FUNNA KISS :((
