Reckless Hearts Chapter 23
Paige entered the nearly empty classroom with a storm of anger. Heads turned to observe her as she marched purposefully towards Caden, who appeared completely clueless about the brewing storm. Olivia, with her usual nonchalant tone, remarked, "Satan's back. Wow," rolling her eyes in response to the dramatic entrance.Caden arched an eyebrow, uncertain of how to respond to Paige's sudden presence and obvious frustration. He awaited her next move, bracing himself for whatever was about to come.“I want to talk to you,” she told him.Caden’s response was dry. “Fine. Talk.”Paige let out a deep sigh of frustration, feeling a mix of offense and disappointment at Caden's lack of immediate attention. After being away for two whole weeks, she had expected him to be more attentive, clinging to her as he usually did. But his indifferent attitude was like a blow to her heart. Did this mean her suspicions derived from the pictures were true? Was he really over her?In a softer tone, Paige made an

"No, I don't," he replied firmly, although deep down, he wasn't entirely sure if he truly believed his own words. "She's shallow and thinks she's smarter than everyone else, with a false sense of superiority. She puts on a facade of being humble and good, but her anger management is terrible. I could never develop any feelings for her, nor could I ever be friends with her."He had the impulse to continue insulting Ruby, but he restrained himself, realizing that the look of disappointment on Paige's face wasn't something he wanted to witness. He cleared his throat, refocusing his attention on his girlfriend."The only person I have ever had feelings for is you, Paige," he confessed. "All the girls I dated before were just attempts to forget about you. But one simply cannot forget Paige Denize!" A faint smile flickered on his face before disappearing just as quickly. "That girl messed with my emotions, and I wanted to get back at her. Now she's definitely distracted."Paige reluctantly
Reckless Hearts Chapter 25
The conflicting voices of an angel and a devil echoed in Ruby's mind as she stood in front of the mirror in the pristine girls' washroom. The angel's voice, gentle and melodious, reassured her, emphasizing that she wasn't shallow. However, the devil's voice, croaky and sly, couldn't resist chiming in with a retort, calling her stupid.Frustrated by the conflicting thoughts swirling in her head, Ruby stomped her feet on the clean white tiles, trying to ground herself. She studied her reflection in the wide mirror, her scowl reflecting her inner turmoil.Her expression softened for a brief moment, but the fury quickly resurfaced. She couldn't help but experience a whirlwind of emotions after witnessing the recent events. On one hand, she questioned why she allowed someone else's opinion of her life to hold any weight. After all, that person hadn't lived a single second of her experiences, while she had lived through every moment.The sinking sensation that had engulfed Ruby started to s

"Oh, nothing. I've actually grown to like that nerdy side of you. Plus, it's always good to have a nerdy friend around, you never know when you might need one!" Florence chuckled, and Ruby playfully smacked her in response. "Okay, okay, let me be honest," Florence continued with a mischievous grin. "I really admire your fashion sense, and I think you're cool." She nonchalantly popped a french fry into her mouth. "But as your friend, I want to offer you some advice," Florence said, leaning in closer. "You're not allowed to give me any advice in return, though!" she added quickly, anticipating Ruby's playful retaliation. As the locks of Florence's hair shielded Ruby from the rays of the setting sun, her hair took on a radiant golden glow. Ruby listened attentively, grateful for her friend's concern. "Paige has Caden wrapped around her little finger. She won't let him go. But trust me, you can do better than him. I'm saying this now because I don't want you to be sad about him later o

"I want to see you smile and giggle like you always do," Luke expressed, observing the visible surprise in Tanya's eyes and the blush that spread across her tanned cheeks. As the sun hid behind the clouds once again, allowing cold winds to enter through the open windows, Luke assumed it was the reason for her change in demeanor. "You see, I have this impression of you. A hyperactive teenager who never stops talking and is constantly all over the classroom," Luke continued, his ears picking up the sound of teeth grinding together, likely coming from the person sitting beside him. He carried on, disregarding any warning signs, "You throw insults randomly and call people by nicknames. What else...?" Luke pondered for a moment, and that's when Olivia's fist came down hard on the desk, grabbing his full attention. The coldness in Olivia's voice was chilling, even compared to the winds blowing into the classroom. "You seem to have a death wish," she retorted sharply. Luke let out a heav

"There are only thirty files here. There are thirty-five students in the class," Mrs. Cooper remarked, counting the submitted assignments with a discerning eye. Ruby stood before her desk, feeling her heart race as she desperately searched for a plausible excuse. Lying was never her strong suit, and the pressure of the situation intensified her nervousness. A chill ran through Ruby's body, causing her to shiver. In her rush that morning, she had forgotten her jacket at home. Now, with the cold air seeping into the classroom, her bare arms were left vulnerable to its nibbling touch. Despite her repeated attempts to hush the noise, the class continued to buzz behind her. The role of class representative was proving to be more challenging than she had anticipated, and she longed for the day when she could relinquish the responsibility. From her elevated platform, Mrs. Cooper gazed down at Ruby, her expression expectant. "Ruby?" she called, prompting Ruby to look up abruptly, her shoulde

The doorbell rang twice, displaying the visitor's impatience, which irked Olivia's mother, Mrs. Reynolds. She grumbled under her breath as she hurried towards the door, prepared to scold the impatient guest. However, as she opened the door and saw Caden standing there, her scowl quickly transformed into a wide, warm smile. "Caden! Why are you waiting outside? Come in, come in!" Mrs. Reynolds exclaimed cheerfully, delighted by his presence. Caden's lips curved into a sardonic smile as he entered the house, his guarded demeanor softening in response to her warm welcome."Hello, Mrs. Reynolds! How are you?" Caden reciprocated her enthusiasm, greeting her with genuine politeness."Why are you standing? Take a seat!" Mrs. Reynolds patted the dust off a sofa cushion, inviting him to sit. "Such a well-mannered boy you are! I'm doing great, despite receiving regular comments about my daughter's misbehavior," she shook her head, a playful grin spreading across her face. "Sorry for my complain

"I, uh... came to return this book. It's yours," Caden stuttered, his eyes following Olivia's gaze as she briefly acknowledged the book before returning her focus to her sheet. He couldn't help but notice that her eyes appeared less swollen and red-rimmed compared to a few weeks ago. "Just put it on the table and leave," Olivia responded, her lips trembling slightly before she pressed them into a firm line. The room fell silent, interrupted only by the sound of the pencil scratching against the paper. Suddenly, Caden heard a groan escape from somewhere in the room. It took him a moment to realize that the sound had come from him. "You're not even going to look at me?" Caden's voice quivered, barely above a whisper. The ache in his chest intensified as he longed for even a fleeting glance from her. "Why should I?" Olivia's voice quivered in response, filled with bitterness and hurt. Silence enveloped the room, heavy with the weight of their unresolved emotions. It was a hurtful sile
