บททั้งหมดของ Midnight Smiles: บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

Ryder wanted to kill herself right then, unable to handle the fact that those words were said by her. Feeling as if she would be suffocated by embarrassment, she borrowed Jasmine's habits of being violent when in a difficult situation and shoved Jake hard. So hard he almost fell off the bed."You... you get out. Shoo. Leave right now." With every word, she shoved him once, pulled him twice, pushed him to the window. If someone watched this scene without knowing of the existence of the terrace behind the window, they would think Ryder for sure was trying to murder the poor innocent, and faultless Jake who had started very innocently to chuckle yet still blushing. His whole body felt warm as that sweet feeling only Ryder made him feel, filled his entire being. He felt like a stuffed animal. Stuffed with cotton and butterflies.His head had only one sentence roaming around, making him look as if he had a few loose screws when smiling.She said she was willing to kiss me. Hehe (^艸^)With

The game was being held in the gym. A lot of people had come, chatting and laughing, their voices filling the spacious place like buzzing bees. It had been quite a while since Jake had been in such a crowded place. The loud noise and the big crowd were a bit overwhelming. What's worse, he would get some strange looks from people. Most of them were teachers. Some of them even walked forward to talk to him. This only made him feel even more uncomfortable.Jake felt like he was once again back at the time when Aiden called him all sorts of names in front of the whole school and then fought with Jeremy.A sudden urge to leave almost made him turn around.Mathew noticed it first and the expression on his face turned gloomier the more teachers tried to approach them. He even started glaring at every single person who looked in Jake's direction.To distract Jake, Jeremy stuffed Leah in his arms. The little girl was so excited that she wouldn't stop talking, asking questions about everything.

Jake had Leah in his arms, and even if he wanted to do something he was too far away to rush and stop Aiden from doing anything. Besides... if he went there and said anything, Ryder would immediately recognize him."You... can you go? Please?" He told Jeremy, but his eyes didn't leave Aiden.The latter on the other hand was decisively walking to his girlfriend, determined to at least get his smooch! To kiss her right there in front of everyone, in front of her friend to let her know that no matter how much she bullied him, he still had won in the end because Ryder was his girlfriend!"Congra-..." Ryder was smiling at Aiden, but when she saw that the look in his eyes wasn't quite right, the word stuck in her throat and something in her heart was telling her to flee. Her eyes widened as she saw Aiden approach her and grab her face between his hands, his lips closing the distance between them. At that moment only three words crossed her mind as she panicked to the point of almost faintin

Once he was inside the dark room, Jake locked the door, but couldn't even bother to get to the bed. It was almost as if his body had been holding on only until he was alone. Now that there was no one around to watch him, his legs couldn't keep him standing anymore. His body slid down the door to the floor. He sat there on the cold floor, hugging his knees, trying to subdue the pain in his heart.He wished he could stop thinking. He wanted to empty his head and heart. Not to think anything, not to feel anything. But his head was a mess of thoughts, tangled so badly that nothing made sense anymore. And his heart... why did it feel as if it wasn't made of flesh? Why did it feel as if it was made of glass and had already shattered?When he recalled how Aiden had rushed right to Ryder... the way he had intended to kiss her... all sorts of feelings mixed together and made him feel sick.He was so angry and jealous, so scared... so much in pain.But no matter what he felt, the thought of hat

Jake raised a brow, looking at Jeremy with disbelief in his eyes. "Dad wants to buy us drinks?""Yup," Jeremy answered. His smile was so big, that the corners of his lips almost reached his ears. It was obvious that he intended to get drunk with his father's money."By us, you mean..." Jake asked again.Jeremy threw an arm around Aiden's shoulders and pulled him closer to his body, ignoring the annoyed look on Aiden's face. "All of us," Jeremy answered Jake once again."He's eighteen." Jake pointed at Aiden. Then he pointed back and forth between himself and Jeremy. "Both of us are twenty. Not counting dad, we're all underage to be drinking alcohol.""Don't be such a party pooper. Let's do something fun." Matthew's voice came from behind Jeremy. Soon his face popped out from behind his brother and friend, both or, both of his arms thrown around Aiden and Jeremy's shoulders."What?" Jake felt that his almost dead brain cells from the lack of food and sleep were struggling to comprehend
