“So this guy….
Carson started, looking at me with a questioning gaze.
“Aiden,” I told him, seeing as he seemed to have forgotten his name.
Carson nods and then narrows his eyes. “Are you sure he’s not into you? The guy was literally burying me with his eyes.”
“I thought the same too.” Mila snorted. “But that still doesn’t give him the right to bully her.”
Carson turns to face Aiden and I do the same. But then when my gaze landed on him, something like acid run up my throat when I saw Rena, the school’s head cheerleader on his lap.
His best friends, Ryland and Austin were also seated around their usual table, both occupied with girls of their own.
My eyes draw back 10 Aiden and I bit into my lip hard. I tore my eyes away quickly when I noticed he was turning my way again.
1 Taked a snort while feeling his piercing eyes on me. “Aiden Xavier having a crush on me?” I let out an amusing laugh. “That’s the most ndiculous thing I have ever heard.”
Mila shrugs ‘Well, sometimes we don’t really know what the guy thinks Sophie. Maybe
“Maybe nothing. Can we drop that topic please? I’d rather not want to talk about him right now.” i stated.
i was already having a hard time fighting the urge to sweep my gaze back to him. I didn’t need to be talking about him right now.
“Okay fine. Then how about we talk about the reason you were called to the principal’s office?” Mila asked in curiosity, turning her body to face me to give me her full attention.
I wince and picked up a fry and throw it in my mouth, Mila knew I hated talking when I was eating so hopefully if I chew slow enough it will buy me enough time to think of a good enough reason as to why I’m serving detention after school
She doesn’t have to know that I was serving with Aiden too. Though she must’ve heard his name being mentioned in the intercom along with mine.
Dammit. Was I stuck? “I was
A commotion saved me from answering her
Everyone’s attention draw to the table in the middle of the room where all the populars sit. Where Aiden and his friends sat
I was not surprised to see that he was the main reason for the commotion but what I was surprised about was Rena on the floor, her bottom kissing the dirty tiles under her.
“What the hell Aiden!” She screeched, causing me to wince at how loud her tone was,
“Next time shut your damn mouth. He growled standing up and stocking out of the room
Well, detention will surely be fun if he stays with that attitude, I thought sarcastically
Rena let out a frustrated sound and stands up with the help of a few of her cheerleading friends who looked to be trying to ease her
“That guy has some serious anger issues.” Carson snorted and Mali agreed. I on the other hand found myself drawing my attention to the door he disappeared from.
“I think it’s ridiculous for him to serve you with detention for what Aiden did! What an a
“Mila!” I said hushedly not wanting her to get into trouble by cursing out the principal. God knows how many surveillance cameras he has around.
Besides, I lied about the reason I got detention entirely and if word got out about the real reason, Mila would feel betrayed. I didn’t want her to know what I had done with Aiden, what I had given up to him. She’d not look at me the same again if she knew.
So I lied and said Aiden followed me to the library and was teasing me and he managed to throw one of the bookshelves when I was trying to get away from him and he was trying to catch me.
It was a ridiculous lie but Mila bought it because it was believable Aiden would do something like that just to get a rise out of me.
“Anyway I’ll see you tomorrow, I’m off to therapy.’ Mila sighed heavily looking like she didn’t want to go to therapy at all.
Nodding we said our goodbyes and I made my way to the detention room. When I got there, I was the only one, no signs of Aiden and I was sure he’d not show up. This was Aiden for crying out loud. He didn’t have to show up for detention.
When I settle on the seat right at the back, the door opens. I had expected it would be the teacher but i’m surprised when blue eyes clashed with mine across the room.
I shifted on the seat nervously and gripped my bag when Aiden makes his way over to me.
“Did I not tell you to stay away from him?” He growled, making his way over to me with an angry gaze.
I squirmed yet fight for my chin to stay up. “And I said, you can’t tell me who to be friends with Aiden.” I grumble.
He glares down at me and was about to take the seat beside mine when the door opens again and Mr. Gray walks in, looking sluggish and bored
He doesn’t even spare us a glance and grumbles. “I want you two far apart. That means to the front Aiden.” He lifts his head and gives Aiden a pointed look.
Aiden grits his teeth, huffs and then walks back to the front.
The rest of detention was rather boring, except for the glares Aiden sent my way occasionally. Mr. Gray kept looking at the clock every second and then when the hands hit five p.m he literally jumps out of his seat and grips his briefcase.
“Tomorrow, same time you two.” With those parting words, Mr. Gray leaves us and practically runs out of the classroom and had not once turned back around.
Now it was just Aiden and me.
T held my breath as I rose from the chair and grabbed my bag.
My head was down, but when I hear the clicking of a lock my head snaps up. My mouth parts when I realized Aiden had locked us in. “What the hell Aiden!?” I snapped, my heart slamming in my chest.
He clicks his tongue and pushes off the door. “Well, I thought he’d never leave.” A smirk crawls on his face and my heart cried for mercy.
Sophie’s pov
“Unlock the door Aiden,” I demanded, though the shield I tried to put up was already cracking.
His arms crossed over his shoulder and he stood in front of the door with a powerful stance. “Make me.”
grab my phone from the desk and Aiden’s eyes followed that movement. He raised a brow mockingly. “Are you going to call the cops on me?”
Glaring at him I made my way over to the front. There was no point in staying at the back when my only escape root was that door he was currently guarding.
“If it comes to that, then I will.” I bluffed and stopped just a few steps before him.
Aiden’s lips quirked. “I smell bullshit, Sophie.”
Keeping my face neutral was not working. I sighed and glared at him in frustration. “Come on Aiden, quit it I need to get home.”
Keeping his brow raised, he said slowly as if talking to a child. His tone annoyed me. “And I said make me Sophie. You’re not going to listen to me so why should I listen to you?” I frowned. “What are you on about now?”
Taking a step forward, Aiden’s teasing manner turns to one of frustration and anger. “I told you to stay away from that new guy.”
I let out a frustrated breath. “Are we still on that? Aiden. You barely know Carson and what makes you think I’d ever listen to my bully and make him tell me who to be friends with?” Aiden’s face turned sour and he takes a menacing step forward. I took a step backward and we continue this until my bum touched the teacher’s desk.
“You say I’m your bully huh?” He nods, his words coming out in a snarl as he quickly places his hands on the desk, trapping me in his arms.
Stunned by being in this position again, my bag slips from my hand and falls to the floor.
“Aiden 1
I started but his close proximity had my mind jumping from one thought to another. I couldn’t focus and I couldn’t seem to breathe properly now as I started to pant.
1 place both my hands on his chest and realized I still had my phone in my grasp. I could easily call the cops and tell them Aiden was harassing me. But I didn’t want to go so far even though it was Aiden.
