It’s only the second weekend of sponsoring you as a foreign exchange student in our house, and I’m already losing my mind.
I shouldn’t notice you like this. But the moment you stepped through the door last Sunday—rickety suitcase in hand, eyes wide with wonder—I knew I wanted you more than I’ve ever wanted the polished heiress my father keeps trying to sell me to. It’s reckless. Dangerous. But the fact you’re only here for senior year makes it feel contained. Temporary. Safe.
A meaningless fling, I tell myself. Then they’ll send you back to whatever flyover country you came from, and I’ll resume my role as Mirza Taj—the heir to Taj Properties, a multi-billion-dollar empire. I’m supposed to have everything. What no one knows is how my sanity hangs by a fraying thread, how I trust drunk drives in Baba’s car more than I trust my own twin brother, who would happily see me dead if it secured him my birthright. Even Nico—my best friend—seems to admire my pedigree more than my presence. Oh, how I miss my mother, the last hint of warmth in my life before she, too, was extinguished by the cold reality of being a Taj.
You look at me like you see straight through the charm. Like you’ve smelled the rot underneath. It’s infuriating.
I stumble out onto the roof, a weekly ritual, and freeze when I see you already there—sprawled against the cool tile, palms flat, eyes glittering with starlight. My breath catches. I drop down beside you without a word.
This is my favorite spot too.
