“Tu see you then I forced out a smile and made a move to get out of the car but Carson grips my arm and stops me.
I turn to him in expectancy though my heart thudded with an inkling of what he would do or say next. ‘Yeah?”
His eyes lowered to stare at my lips and my heart stops. I wasn’t ready for that next step
‘Canibuss you?’ He whispered
It feels Mke the blood draned from my face when those words slipped out of his mouth.
I began to stutter i had royally screwed myself by accepting a proposal to be a guys girlfriend when I had no feelings whatsoever for that said guy
I had screwed myself indeed
I smiled nervously and nodded He looks pleased by my answer and leans forward
When his breath brushed against my lips. I tilted my head a way so that my lips brushed his cheek Planting a kiss on his cheek, I pulled away quickly and forced a smile ‘Thanks for the ride Carson and the date
With that, I got out of the car, closed the door, and didn’t wait for him to respond before dashing out of here and towards my house
Monday better come slowly
*Monday
I brushed my palm over my yellow flowery dress while waiting for Carson by the curb
Today was the day the entire school will know the status of our relationship And I was a nervous wreck
My body froze up when I caught the glimpse of his black car turning around the corner to come here
Carson was a good guy. He’d treat me well. I’ll grow up to like him more than as a friend someday I chanted in my head.
When he pulls up beside me, I let out the breath I didn’t know I had been holding I stepped towards the car, my legs feeling as stiff as a rock the closer i gol
I shouldn’t be nervous. Carson was my friend before he was my boyfriend. I can trust him.
I opened the car door and slid inside. “Good morning” i cracked a smile and hoped it didn’t come out like a grimace when I turned to face him.
I didn’t even have time to close the door when I felt a quick peck on my lips. I stay frozen and in shock.
Pulling away from me, Carson smiled. “Good morning pretty girl.”
I stared at Carson gobsmacked, completely confused and stunned by what just happened.
“Did I catch you off guard?” He asked with a cheeky smile.
It was normal for couples to kiss but I hadn’t been ready to have another guy that wasn’t Aiden kiss me as yet. It felt wrong. But I knew it wasn’t
Alden and I were not a couple. What Carson had done wasn’t wrong.
Clearing my throat, i passively turned away from him and pretended to fix the seatbelt. “Kind of,” I answered his pending question and closed the door when I realized I hadn’t even closed it yet. I avoided Carson’s gaze so he’d not see how stunned and slightly unpleasant I was.
He chuckled and started the car. Just thought that little one would make up for the days I hadn’t seen you.”
i nodded and the rest of the ride was cold silent.
When Carson parked in the school’s parking lot, somehow my stomach churned
I really should not have gone through with this. I should’ve told Carson the truth and explained that it was just in the spur of the moment.
He’d get hurt. I know he will. But it just felt so wrong to be doing this to him.
“And we’re here,” Carson said, killing off the engine and started to unbuckle himself while looking over at me.
I gulped nervously, not sure I can go through with this and hurt him.
Tunbuckled my seatbelt and opened the door. I sighed when I got out of the car. I felt like I could finally start breathing properly.
But of course, my breathing gets back the same when Carson walks around the car, stops before me and outstretched his hand. “My lady. He gave a curved grin that suited him and my heart didn’t want me to make that grin turn into a frown.
Especially since he was still sporting those bruises from his fight with Aiden when he was fighting for my ‘honor’.
I smiled softly and placed my hand in his. He gripped my hand firmly and smiled at me while pulling me to his side.
It was weird but I knew that I’d get used to it.
When we got inside, everyone paid us little attention. I was not really expecting them to. Carson wasn’t popular and neither was I.
We walked towards my lockers, our fingers interlocked. When we reach mine, Mila is just rushing over to me. ‘Oh you guys are so cute.” She squealed and threw her arms around me the second she was beside me.
patted her back awkwardly. Not because she hugged me, but because I didn’t know how to respond to her words.
“Maybe he’ll help with that little frustration.” She teased playfully in my ear before pulling away from me.
I glared at her and was just about to pull my hand out of Carson’s grip when I felt him stumble a bit forward. He grunts and rights himself quickly
I look to see who had deliberately brushed his shoulder against his roughly and my stomach pinched when I noticed it was Aiden. “Out of my way asshole.” He sneers, not even bothering to look back.
Sophie’s pov
“There was enough room to pass through asshole!” Mila shouted while glaring at Aiden’s disappearing back.
Aiden only lifted his middle finger for her and disappeared around the corner. “I hate that guy,” Mila grumbles and turned to face Carson and me.
“He’s a prick,” Carson grumbles under his breath and lifted his hand to rub his shoulder where Aiden’s own collided against.
I nodded because it was true, Aiden was definitely a prick.
The bell rang soon after I placed some books inside my locker and Carson insisted that he would drop me off at my first class. But I refuse and insisted that I could go on my own
We all said our goodbyes and I made my way to my Spanish class. The hallways were quickly getting empty as everyone rushed to their classes. I on the other hand had my mind too occupied to even think about getting to class on time.
I had royally fucked myself with accepting Carson’s proposal and now I was stuck with not knowing what to do. Carson was a great guy and I should not have involved him in this mess.
I sighed heavily and fix the bag strap on my shoulder. But then suddenly there was a presence behind me and before I knew it, I was pushed inside the janitor’s closet.
That scent. Aiden always had a distinct scent.
I whipped around and tugged my arm out of Aiden’s grip.
‘What the hell Aiden!” I snapped, completely aware that he was way too close to me in this small closet.
His huge body blocked the door and I had an inkling that it would be impossible to get away from him now. He had trapped me in here with him.
I stared at his face, practically the purplish dark ring under his eye from which he got from the fight he had with Carson.
My skin tingled, aware of our close proximity. I took a step back but Aiden only takes one forward. My back touches the wall and I know that there would be no more escaping from there.
I held my breath when his eyes turned stormy and his body brushes against mine. ‘Aiden
