“Ugh…enough with the threats, sourpuss.” I huffed. He wasn’t the only one that was good at giving people funny nicknames. “And in case you don’t know…having to be in a fake relationship with you is already making life a living hell for me.” I dropped my voice to a small whisper just in case anyone was eavesdropping. 

We were in an open place after all. 

“Speaking of our relationship, I’m not sure if you know who Naomi is but she’s already suspecting that something’s off so you better do something about it. If you would have listened to me when I told you how ridiculous this idea was then maybe we wouldn’t have to be dealing with all of this.” My eyes drooped. 

“What are you talking about?” His brows dipped as he took a step back. 

Oh wow, he couldn’t even understand a few words. Who would’ve thought that he’d be so dumb? 

“Naomi thinks it’s unusual for us to be in a relationship.” I drawled with air quotes. “You better do something about it if you don’t want people to doubt you.” I said sizing him up and I was just leaving when I had barely even taken a few steps and something yanked me back. 

My back hit the wall, and before I could even process what just happened, a warm hand landed on my waist, fingers pressing just enough to make my breath hitch. My eyes snapped up…only to find Liam’s face hovering way too close to mine, his blue eyes sharp and calculating.

“What…” My voice came out weak. Embarrassingly weak.

“Where do you think you’re going, four eyes?” His voice was low, his breath tickling my cheek.

My stomach flipped and I swallowed hard. “Liam, what the hell are you doing?”

He didn’t answer.

Instead, he leaned in…his lips nearly grazing my ear.

Panic surged through me. He was too close. Way too close.

“Didn’t you just say I should do something about this girl’s suspicions?” he murmured, his voice dropping into something almost dangerous.

I blinked, confused. “What?”

He ignored me completely, his fingers tightening slightly against my waist. “And what better way is there to clear someone’s doubt than not giving them room for it?”

My heart stuttered and I suddenly became hyper aware of the way we looked…his body caging me in, my hands pressed flat against the wall, his head dipped low, his mouth close enough that if I moved even an inch…

Oh, crap.

Eleanor is a 23-year old woman who was involved in a car accident on her way to her interview. Unfortunately she doesn't make it and assumes she's going to find herself in the afterlife but instead finds herself in the body of a college student named Theodora. And this college student happens to be a side character in one of the books she read in her past life.  

Having found herself in this body, she decides to find out why she's there and try to return to her old world. On her quest for answers she realizes she has to play her part as Theodora in this world which however lands her in a lot of problems.

I could have Brianna tell him that I wasn't home and he's just one of my stupid batch mates that has been bugging me for the past few days or I could just make Brianna tell him that I was sleeping and he should just wait till he sees me in school again since I hated being disturbed when I was sleeping. 


Apparently she was in the middle of watching her YouTube videos so she'd do anything that'll make me not bug her. 


Still…answering that door wasn't one of my options so I most definitely wasn't going to do that. But come to think of it…how did he know where I was living? Was he stalking me now? 


Suddenly the doorbell rang again and I shuddered involuntarily. 


"Argh Thea answer the damn door so that person can stop ringing the doorbell." Brianna whined as she got up from the couch and marched up the stairs. 


"Ugh traitor." I hissed even though I knew she was not even aware of what was happening.
