I should’ve known a pretty face was only but a mask. I picked up my pace, my footsteps turning into sprints.
“Hey dude come check this out!” Ryland shouts to grab my attention when he catches a glimpse of me. I shook my head unable to speak asi make my way to the bathroom, Never had I ever felt so much pain and anger before.
************
*Aiden.” His voice called out, freezing my hand on the door handle.
“Yes?” I sighed, not really in the mood to hear him lecture me again about confessing my feelings for Sophie.
“Keep your bodily fluids to yourself and not in the library or any part of the school. Do you hear me?” He says sternly.
I nodded, embarrassed that he had seen me in this kind of position.
He’d probably run his mouth to my parents the second he meets up with them.
Pinching the bridge of my nose I left the office in search of Sophie. I wouldn’t confess to her because that would only get me hurt by her the second time. I didn’t want her to straight up say she didn’t want me in front of my face.
The bell rings, signaling another lesson. Shit. She’s probably on her way to calculus. We weren’t in the same classes.
I just needed to see if she was okay. She did leave the office in quite a hurry.
Sophie’s pov
I plopped down on the chair, my heart racing swiftly in my chest. This cannot be happening to me right now.
No.
I did not just get served with detention.
I plant my elbows on the desk and dig my hands in my hair. I don’t pay no mind to the students who were giving me weird stares as they quickly start to fill the room. ‘We meet again pretty girl.”
1 lift my head, my eyes connecting with Carson’s smiling face. I envied his joy, his happiness. Because right now, I was not happy at all.
I was angry. Frustrated. Annoyed. At him.
At Aiden Xavier
He’s the cause of this. He shouldn’t have come into the library. He should’ve never kissed me.
Carsons brows furrow as he makes his way over to me. ‘Well, this wasn’t the reaction I was expecting.” He jokes and settled himself on the chiar beside mine suaigtaten in the seat and remove my elbows from the desk while trying to smile. “You have calculus too?” That was a very stupid question but i was hoping hed engage me in a conversation to pull me out of my thoughts about my pending detention.
H
o s al me with a curved smile ‘So we’re going to skip the part where i ask you what’s going on with you?”

Volg kytarowy w my heud bowaldy wedoo My breath catches many throat there stood Aiden, with anger in his eyes, staring
Sophie’s pov
“Who was that guy?” Carson asked in curiosity, still keeping his eyes locked on the opened door where Aiden was standing just moments ago, glaring at him hotly.
“A bully.” I let out without thinking and then corrected myself even though my words were true.
“He’s also a senior, name Aiden Xavier, the principal’s grandson and somehow I’m always on his radar.” I shrugged turning to face Carson.
One of Carson’s brows lifted. “Always on his radar?” He asked, seeming to be confused.
I nodded and looked away. “He always. teases me.”
That was a better way of saying bullying.
Don’t get me wrong, Aiden had never physically hurt me, nor mentally scarred me. He was just annoying by always saying something mean. He was also a guy who thought he could get whatever he wants and can get away with anything. I suppose that is true in a sense.
“Teasing as in he has a crush on you and doesn’t know how to say it?” Carson snorted.
Without warning, a raging heat settle on my cheeks and showcased how Carson’s words raveled my brain. “I-what-no-l spurted, puffing out my cheeks and scoffing.
“Aiden Xavier doesn’t have a crush on me. That guy can never have a crush on someone like me.” I scoffed in denial.
There was no way Aiden liked me like that. The guy always looked for ways to tease me. You don’t tease people you like. Well.not in the way he does it at least.
Now it was ‘Carson’s turn to scoff. “Someone like you? Are you kidding? You’re practically perfect, any guy would want to date you.”
I shyly looked away, sensing his compliment. I was never good with compliments.
Carson’s lips curved into a grin. “Any guy as in me.”
*Lunch Time*
So who’s this cute guy Sophie?’ Mila teased as she settles on the chair beside mine. She nudges her head towards Carson who gave her a charming grin. “Carson Nice to meet you.” He narrowed his eyes and tilted his head while reaching out his hand for her to take.
“Mila,” She responded while giggling and shaking his hand. This girl over here best friend.” She nudges her head toward me and sent me a cheeky wink
I rolled my eyes yet couldn’t fight off the smile that stretched on my face. ‘So new kid, where are you from?” Mila asked Carson, her eyes narrowing
Then she pointed a fry his way before he could answer. “Don’t give me that bullshit cliche line and tell me you’ve been everywhere around the world 11 so, please excuse me and my best friend, we’ll go to the ladies room and cry our eyes out ’cause we’ve never traveled before.”
Carson grinned and chuckled. “I’m from Cali but I have traveled to one or two places before. Does that count?” He tilted his head with a huge smile splitting his face.
giggled when Mila answered with. “Take me with you next time yes?” Her eyes had that puppy gleam that had her getting exactly what she wanted. “Take me away from this small town. She pleaded.
Both Carson and I laughed but then suddenly Carson’s laugh fades and a shadow looms beside me. It wouldn’t take a genius to know that this was Aiden’s presence. He could never go unnoticed.
I stilled, unsure of what to say or do. Not even sure if to turn around to face him
Would he tease me about our detention and let everyone know he had conquered me now?
He was a bully so he’d not care if he humiliate me in front of everyone now.
What I had not expected was for Aiden’s hand to grab a good amount of my fries. I gasp, whipping my head to face him. His face was neutral but his eyes were not on me. They were on Carson, glaring into his soul.
Aiden pushes the fries in his mouth, looks down at me, and then just walks away
“What an ass.” Mila scoffed, taking some of her fries and adding them to my tray. I smiled at her and thanked her
“It’s fine
“No it’s not. You need to stand up to him Sophie.” Mila scoffed again, this time angrier,
My smile wavered and I core my eyes away from her. “Only a few months left and I won’t have to see his face again.” I lift one shoulder in a shrug.
