Standing between one of the shelves, my eyes scanned through the textbooks arranged neatly on each row of shelves.I was looking for a statistics textbook to borrow from the library and then go home immediately since it was closing hours.Squinting, my gaze, I searched through the textbooks in the business section when I felt an arm wrapped around my waist suddenly and twirling me around.A slight gasp escaped my lips, my eyes widened almost bulging out of their eye sockets, and my heart beating t before my gaze fell and rested on Kayden's appearance, and a rush of relief ran through me.“What are you doing here?” I asked him in a hushed, low voice, glancing around and hoping no one was nearby to see me and him together.Kayden smiled softly at me, releasing one of his arms around my waist and bringing them up to the side of my face.I swallowed hard staring at him, when he didn't reply, my instinct immediately told me to move away from him which I did, but he pulled me closer to him,

I decided to stop crying, why was I crying in the first place? He never declared he loved me, he just said he liked me, so, that's two different aspects, he didn't ask me to be his girlfriend, he never made advances for sex each time we were together, except he would kiss me and that was all.So, why am I angry at him? Is it because I've started to like him more than I should? Because I thought I would expect more from him? Is it because he was the first guy in my life I've gotten to love?'Why am I dumb?' I sighed, the thousands of questions running through my head were sickening.I don't want questions and I don't want answers, I just want to go back to the old normal me. So, why does this hurt so much? It felt as if I was stabbed with a poisoned sharpened knife.I didn't care much about the poster stuff, where they had pictures of Kayden and me kissing, I just had to bear in mind that I'll be a trending topic for the next two to three weeks before it finally goes down.I sniffed,

Kayden's POV.I watched how Jade played with her friends on the rollercoaster ride, her screaming, and her laughter were everything to me.If, only she knew I especially loved her and didn't mean all that I said in that video. I hated Athena for what she did, that crazy bitch, it took me a lot of effort not to have slapped her.She crossed the line big time today. I stood not far from the rollercoaster where people were having a great time, I wore a face cap, so that Jade wouldn't see me if we were to pass by each other.I didn't want her to get angry and sad, now that she's getting over her emotions.My phone beeped, and I knew it was my dad calling, he could be annoying and a pain in the ass every so often.I decided not to pick up the call, I switched off my phone and shoved it back into my pocket.I smiled when she reached the lower part screaming, while her two friends were laughing their butts off, I'm happy they could cheer her spirit up.Standing at my hidden spot for a few mo

The next day at school, the sit next to me which was Kayden's seat was empty, I tried so hard not to think of where he could be.I didn't see any glimpse of him since the first period, and now we're in the third period.I wondered why I was being worried about him when I shouldn't.'He doesn't deserve it,' My face twisted in a knot while I hit the tip of my pen annoyingly on the desk.The bell rang, and the math teacher ended the class, after giving us an assignment, he then trotted out of the class.I brought out my phone and clicked on my call log, staring at his missed calls while my heart plummeted, I wanted to call him, but I decided against it.Biting my lower lips nervously, I sighed frustratingly and dropped my phone on the table, leaning back in my seat.Then, I packed my books into my bag and stood up, I glanced toward Athena when making my way out of the class, my gaze met hers and with her legs crossed on her desk, she sneered at me and looked away.I ignored her and walke

“Where we were when you knocked out, Brandon?” Ariana asked in awe.“Swears, I would have loved to see you kicking his ass,” Ivy laughed.We were at our spot in the cafeteria, and the whole news of Kayden getting into a fight with his friends because of me and me knocking out Brandon was the last I had expected.It traveled like wildfire among the students in the entire school.“Can't believe they made you into a sticker, especially the part you knocked out Brandon,” Ariana laughed, then Ivy joined.“It's so hilarious,” Ivy drowned more in laughter, then grabbed her phone on the table.“Let me show you,”Ivy showed me the sticker where I had tackled Brandon to the floor, then the next sticker was me sitting on Brandon and knocking him out.“This is not funny,” I gritted and Ariana and Ivy burst out laughing again while I frowned at them.“I'm sorry, I can't help it,”“Me too,”Almost everyone was playing the video, and it was just a surprise the principal hadn't called me to his offic
