Turned On
Chapter 1
Author
Hello everyone !
Its Your author here, and I have a little announcement to make!
This story didn’t start as mine… but now? It totally is.
I’ve taken over and I’m beyond excited to continue the journey with you.
So I’ve decided to keep it going—with a few changes of my own..so please don't expect the same storyline.
The story formerly known as Hotline is now called TURNED ON. The name’s different, the storyline’s evolved, and I’ve poured a lot of heart into what’s coming next.
I hope you love this version as much as I do.
Thanks for being here,
—Your Author
Tyler
Hey Cass..mind if I borrow your chem notes?
Tyler
I missed a bunch of classes ‘cause of the game
My heart does that stupid flip again..
I bite my lips, holding back a smile..
Besides me Harper, my one and only bff..groans.
But I ignore her, cause my whole attention is on Tyler..
Cassie Rowe(FL)
Yeah.. Ofcourse
Tyler
Knew you’d say yes.
You’re too sweet to ever say no to me
I feel my cheeks heating up..
Tyler
Oh—and the project thing...
Cassie Rowe(FL)
I'll handle it! Don't worry
I cut him off, maybe a little too fast.. And Harper stems my feet under the desk.
But I don't feel anything, my body doesn't respond to anything other than Tyler.
He flashes me his killer grin..and I swear, I feel like I'm seeing some Angel from heaven.
Tyler
You’re the best, Cass. I owe you. Maybe I’ll treat you sometime?
He winks and strolls off like he owns the hallway. Harper snorts beside me.
Harper( Fl friend)
Wow.. that was painful
Harper( Fl friend)
You practically offered him your soul Cass. Again.
Cassie Rowe(FL)
I was just helping. He’s our classmate
Harper( Fl friend)
You don’t “just help” everyone.
Harper( Fl friend)
It’s always Tyler.
Harper( Fl friend)
And how long has it been now?
Cassie Rowe(FL)
2 years, 1 month and 20 days.
Harper( Fl friend)
Wow! You're dedicated.
Harper( Fl friend)
I've had 3 patch up and break ups during that whole period Cass.. And you're stuck with one crush.
Cassie Rowe(FL)
That's because I'm not you Harper.
Cassie Rowe(FL)
Bold, sassy, beautiful, hot..
Harper( Fl friend)
Oh please. Who said you aren't hot B**ch.
You got body better than me.. You hide it under those oversized sweater and pants.
Cassie Rowe(FL)
Because it's comfy.
Harper( Fl friend)
Exactly! You don't wanna step out of that comfort zone Cass!
Harper( Fl friend)
I'm not saying that you should go and change yourself for some guy.. Specially, not for someone like Tyler.
But.. You need to put in some efforts.
Cassie Rowe(FL)
It's not.. not so easy.
Harper( Fl friend)
It is easy.
You just have to peel of those glasses and layers.. And boom! All guys are gonna go crazy looking at you.. trust me.
Cassie Rowe(FL)
Sure. I'll just make a fool out of myself and nothing else.
And I mean it.
let's be real.
I'm nothing like Harper.. And she's exactly what a guy wants. A type of girl Tyler will want.
And although I have a crush. Well..a huge crush on him.. I can't bring myself to go and be THAT girl who isn't scared of being rejected.
Harper( Fl friend)
I don't understand what you see in him.
He's just got looks.. Nothing special.
Cassie Rowe(FL)
He's just...nice to me.
Harper( Fl friend)
Yeah. Real nice. Especially when he needs his homework done.
I don't say anything. Maybe Harpers right. But she won't understand what I feel for Tyler
He's like a prince on white horse for me.. the one I dreamed about as a kid.
I saw him on the very first day of college.
We literally ran into each other in the corridor—my books flew everywhere, and I hit the floor.
He caught my hand, helped me up… and somehow, stole my heart in the same breath.
From that moment on, it was him.Tyler.
Harper( Fl friend)
Damn. you're literally shooting stars at him Cass.
Harper snaps me out of my thoughts and I blush so hard, making her laugh.
Harper( Fl friend)
Okay.. Got it. My sweet, shy, naive little bestie is crazy about Tyler
My eyes widen... hand flies up to slap over Harper’s mouth. God she got a loud mouth.
Cassie Rowe(FL)
Will you shut up!
Harper laughs behind my hand..and I sink my seat, cheeks burning.
If someone heard her say that.. I'm killing myself.
Harper( Fl friend)
But..Having crush doesn't mean you're committed to him.
Harper( Fl friend)
Come on! you're not.
Harper( Fl friend)
Besides I got the best solution for you to open up and chill a little.
Harper gives that smile. The same one that means..she's upto no good.
Harper pulls out her phone like a magician unveiling her best trick.
Harper( Fl friend)
I’m telling you, Cass—you need to try this app.
Cassie Rowe(FL)
Oh my god. Not this again.
* groans*
Harper( Fl friend)
Yes, this again.
Harper( Fl friend)
HOTLINE. It’s made for girls like you—shy, curious, stuck in your head all the time.
Harper( Fl friend)
It gives you a push. A taste of real fun.
I've heard this pitch before—too many times, actually.
Harper loves to rave about late-night chats and mystery guys with deep voices and dirty minds. And every single time, I cut her off.
Hearing about it starts giving me chills.
Cassie Rowe(FL)
You sure you aren't getting paid to advertise for this app?
Cassie Rowe(FL)
I don’t need an app, Harper.
And you don’t know who’s on the other side of the screen. It’s not safe.
Harper( Fl friend)
Safe is boring.
Give me your phone.
Cassie Rowe(FL)
Wait—no. Seriously. Harper, don’t—
But Harper already has it. Smooth as ever.
Her thumb swipes up. Lockscreen gone. The witch even knows my password.
And there it is.
She’s downloading it.
Cassie Rowe(FL)
You didn’t
* deadpan*
Harper( Fl friend)
I did. You're welcome
* grinning*
Harper( Fl friend)
Now we’ll set you up with a sizzling profile—maybe something like Honeyplum or hotPeaches.
Then boom. Late-night convos. Strangers. Thrill. Flirtation. Zero pressure.
Harper bounces with excitement.
I groan and reache for my phone, heart pounding.
But Harper just laughs, holding it out of reach like she’s playing keep-away.
Cassie Rowe(FL)
Give it back Harper!
Then, suddenly—it's gone.
Snatched right out of Harper’s hand.
I freeze.
And my stomach drops.
It's him. it's always him.
Nate Carter.
The last person on earth who should be holding my phone right now
Nate Carter
Well, well.
Looks like you girls are having some… extra-curriculars in class.
* smirks, holding the phone up*
