"You didn't have to walk me home," Elias murmured, tucking her hands into the pocket of the Jacket to protect them from the night's cold air. Walking next to her was Zayn, which made her feel anxious. They've never really gotten a chance to talk about what he had overheard the other day, and she hoped he wouldn't bring it up. "I wanted to," He replied with a crooked smile, "I like walking you home, Elias,"His voice was soft, and Elias stole a peek at him. When she found him already staring at her, heat crept up her neck and she looked away immediately. "My Biker Boy Fantasies, was it?"Elias's heart plummeted, "W...what?""Your writing is unique. It was a beautiful piece to read, I enjoyed it,""Oh my God," Elias palmed her face, embarrassment colouring her face, "You read it?""Yeah," Zayn admitted, "You've got real talent, Elias. Your writing style is different from anything I've ever read,""You make it sound like I'm not completely pathetic for writing something like that,""Y
Elias had sworn things wouldn't get any worse. But with the video of her and Sean got uploaded, it did get worse. Currently, she was sitting in the back of class going through some textbooks. Her headphones were on to cancel out any noise or whispers, and her eyes were glued to the book on her desk. Walking through school had been awful. People had tagged her with terrible names, snickering as she walked by. Then, Elias noticed someone coming over. She glanced up and saw a girl in her class, someone she had never spoken to before. The girl waved with a light smile on her cheeks, and Elias hesitantly pulled the headphones off. "Hi, do you mind if I sit here?" She was saying, motioning at the seat next to Elias, "It's a bit noisy up front. I can't concentrate on what I'm working on,"Hesitantly, Elias nodded and the girl took the seat. She pulled out a similar textbook to the one Elias was reading, and began to go through it. Elias was just about to put back her headphones when the
Elias slowly stepped out of the corner, feeling awkward.She clutched both sides of his shirt tightly as he turned to face her, and she flashed him a smile, "Is that my water?""Come with me," He said, and continued walking towards his room. She swallowed tightly, feeling like she was in deep trouble. Did the maid mention anything about her listening to them from the stairs? She knew she shouldn't have, but her legs had refused to move then.Once they were within the four large walls of his room, Kaelen dropped the water by the side. Then, he poured it into a glass of water and handed it to her. She stared between her and the glass before accepting it and gulping the whole contents down. His face remained unreadable, but she could see lines between his eyebrows showing he was still pissed off. "Once you feel better, you may leave," He said. Those words sounded worse to her ears than anything else he could have said. The words, 'I'm sorry' were right there on her tongue, and then
Kaelen didn't move away. He stared down at her, his eyes dark and unreadable while his lips curved into the faintest smirk that made her heart thunder. "Careful, Elias… you might make me think you don’t want me to let go,” He drawled teasingly, his mint breath flushing against her face. Her cheeks burned crimson and she immediately jerked her hand back, clutching it to her chest like it had betrayed her.“I–I didn’t mean to...I wasn’t...” Oh God, now she was stammering. He tilted his head, studying her carefully. For once, there’s no arrogance in his gaze, only this silent seriousness that made her even more wary of everything. “You shouldn’t be here right now… but I’m glad you are,”Elias swallowed hard, unable to meet his eyes. Although she can feel them on his skin, burning through and searching. She wondered what. Kaelen had never thought about this. As his eyes slowly caressed her from head to toe, he realised he had made a very terrible decision giving her his clothes to we
The first thing Elias felt when she woke up was the softness of the mattress, far too soft to be what she was used to sleeping on. The sheets covering her from the neck down had a familiar smoky scent to them, making her eyes flutter open. But everything was too blurry for her to see. Habitually, she reached out to the bedside drawer and her hand touched a pair of glasses sitting there, and she put them on. Her eyes adjusted to the dim, chandelier light hanging from the ceiling, and she saw the Intricate details of the ceiling. Her eyes widened. Where the hell was she? Elias pushed herself up slightly, taking in the view of the room she was in. It was so much bigger than her apartment, and the walls were painted with deep charcoal, and there were different banners glued on the wall. Even the sheets were black. A leather Jacket was slung over a chair, and large boots were tossed carelessly by the door. The faint scent of the cologne she was obsessed with wafted into her nostrils,
The bass from Amanda’s party thumped so hard it rattled the streetlights. Kaelen and his friends walked down the lawn, and he could already catch the smell of alcohol and cheap cologne wafting from the house. It was a scene he had walked into a hundred times before, and he already hated it.“You know what your problem is?” Ryder smirked, lighting a cigarette as they headed up the walk, “You brood too much. No wonder you’re obsessing,”“Obsessing?” Kaelen arched a brow, shoving his hands deep into the pockets of his leather jacket, “That's what we’re calling it now?”“Don’t play dumb,” Jaxon nudged him in the ribs, then threw his arms around his shoulders, “We haven’t seen you touch another girl since that book got out, Kael. You’re acting like a damn monk!”Kaelen gave a humourless chuckle, shaking his head, “Or maybe I just got tired of shallow distractions,”“Uh-huh,” Ryder drawled, puffing out smoke, “And maybe it has something to do with your… little challenge,”That earned Ryder
