CHAPTER 10 rewrite

“So… let me get this straight. All of a sudden you want to follow me to a basketball game?” Ash asked, squinting at me like she was checking to visually see what had gone wrong with my head.

“Yup,” I replied, pretending to scroll through my phone.

“All of a sudden it’s not noisy and a waste of time?” She pressed.

“Nope.”

“And I’m supposed to believe this isn’t about Adonis?”

I shot her a glare. She raised both hands in mock surrender.

“Don’t say I didn’t warn you about him,”

  • Falling for the principal's son   CHAPTER 27: Decisions

    I watched Adonis storm into the library, his eyes scanning the room like he was searching for something he had already decided to destroy. Students fell silent as he passed their tables, his presence heavy, his jaw clenched so tight it looked painful.Then his eyes landed on me.He walked toward me with long, angry strides. I had never seen him like this before...not joking, not smiling, not even trying to hide the fire burning in his eyes.“We need to talk,” he said sternly.Every pair of eyes in the library turned to us.My hands trembled as I packed my books quietly, avoiding the stares, avoiding the questions I knew were already forming in people’s minds. I followed him out without a word. He barely gave me an option.Halfway down the hallway, Adonis suddenly kicked a trash can across the floor. The loud crash echoed through the empty corridor, making me flinch.“He does not get to do this. Not to you!” he snapped, running his hands through his hair. “It’s one thing when he threat

  • Falling for the principal's son   CHAPTER 26: Pain

    CHAPTER 26The weekend I once longed for, I suddenly couldn't wait for the end of it. It was just Saturday but it felt like the weekend had been stretched into seven days already with my phone constantly buzzing with messages from Adonis, every one of them completely ignored. I stayed in my room all day, cleaning and rearranging my bookshelf. I took a long bath and came to watch a movie but every romantic scene just reminded me of him.The way the male character held her. The way she looked at him. All of it. Urgh!I went out to grab some cereal since I was not in the mood for actual food.“Hey, you okay?” Dylan asked as soon as I stepped out. His voice laced with concern and his eyes heavy with worry. “Yeah, I'm fine” I lied.“Did Adonis do something?” He asked.“No. He didn't. I'm just tired” I answered. He nodded and went back to his laptop. He knew I was lying but he also knew I just needed some time to myself. My phone buzzed again and again and again and I picked it up, frus

  • Falling for the principal's son   CHAPTER 25: Torn

    “Caitlin Graham, your presence is needed at the principal's office.”The voice crackled through the intercom, sharp and unavoidable. It sounded like judgment.I felt my heart dropped straight into my stomach.It was the final class of the week,the last period before freedom, before I could escape this building and its suffocating hallways for two whole days. I had been counting the minutes, already planning what I’d do once I got home. A long shower. A quiet evening. Maybe even a movie.But just like that, everything came crashing down.The room went silent for half a second before the whispers started.I felt eyes on me instantly. Some curious. Some judgmental. A few amused. A couple of quiet laughs followed, and my cheeks burned as I slowly gathered my things. My hands felt clumsy, like they had been treated with melted butter and I had to pick up glass balls.So this was it.The rumors had finally reached him.I kept my head down as I walked out of the classroom, pretending not to

  • Falling for the principal's son   CHAPTER 24: Rumors and whispers.

    All of a sudden, it felt like eyes were on me with every single move I made.In the library, people pretended to read while secretly glancing in my direction. In class, whispers followed me from one desk to the next. Even in the cafeteria, where everyone was usually too busy arguing over fries or gossiping about tests, I could feel the stares.Everywhere.It was suffocating.At first, I tried to convince myself I was just being paranoid. That maybe I was imagining the looks, the giggles, the way conversations suddenly went quiet whenever I passed by. But then I heard it.“Did you see the video?”“That’s her.”“Wow, she really pulled Adonis?”My stomach dropped.A video of Adonis and I having a picnic on the field had leaked. Not just to one or two people but to practically the whole school. Someone had filmed us laughing, sitting close, sharing food like we were some sort of couple in a rom-com.And now everyone had opinions.Some people were saying we were officially in a relationship

  • Falling for the principal's son   CHAPTER 23: Suspicions

    Chapter 23“I’m so sorry for how I’ve been lately,” I said, my fingers nervously twisting the hem of my pajama top. “I’m sorry I’ve been spending more time with Adonis and it’s...”“It’s fine,” Ash said, cutting me off before I could finish. She pulled me into a quick, tight hug like none of it even mattered.Her hair smelled like coconut oil and perfume. The same way it always did.But something in my chest still felt heavy.“So,” she continued, pulling away and flopping onto my bed like she owned the place, “what have you and the principal’s son been up to lately? Sneaking into school at night to bump genitals?”I froze.My mouth opened, but no sound came out.“Huh? Wh… what do you mean?” I finally asked.Ash didn’t even look at me. Her attention was fully on her phone, thumbs flying across the screen. A grin spread across her face, followed by a little giggle.“Ash?” I called.She glanced up. “What?”“Nothing,” I said quickly, turning back to my open notebook.But my mind wasn’t on

  • Falling for the principal's son   CHAPTER 22: Timeouts, texts and threats.

    “Andddd timeout!!” Adonis yelled, his voice echoing across the empty court as the ball rolled to a lazy stop near the bleachers.I looked up from where I was sitting on the cold wooden floor, my back pressed against the wall, knees tucked to my chest. He jogged toward me, sweat darkening the collar of his shirt, his curls sticking to his forehead. He was grinning -wide, careless, free.He’d been like this a lot lately.Happier.Ever since he started sneaking off to practice at night, he’d been lighter somehow. Like something heavy had finally loosened its grip on him. Two weeks ago, he’d been tense, snapping at little things, constantly worrying about whether he was good enough, fast enough, strong enough. Now, he laughed more. He smiled without forcing it.And maybe...just maybe it was because this place felt like it belonged to him again.“Good job!” I said, clapping my hands together as I stood up, smiling back at him.He slowed to a stop right in front of me, breathing hard, hand
