All Chapters of Jacob Hale: Enemy’s Secret Toy: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Jacob “Meet me at the theater after class.” Daniel had sent.The class ended, but before we could leave, Mr Richard came in. Fuck!“Can I go to the bathroom, Mr. Richard?” Daniel raised his hand. “You can go after the pop quiz, Cobbs.”The whole class roared in shock. Pop quiz? Mr Richard was definitely up to something with this.It was like he stood at the door, waiting for the teacher to finish, so he could come in immediately and stop anyone from leaving. “Could it be that these photos and texts were from him?” The thought sounded ridiculous in my head. Then another thought came to my head, and my eyes flickered to Mr Richard and then to Daniel, and as if he understood what I wanted to do, he nodded his head in agreement.Text the unknown number. That was the plan. If it was him sending the texts, the we’d find out. But then, he wouldn’t be stupid enough to bring the phone to class, and even if he did, it would be on silent. But I went ahead and texted the number anyway.

JacobSearched everywhere for Daniel after class. He had read my text, but didn’t respond.Then my phone buzzed in my hand. A text from Daniel.“Come to the bathroom. NOW!”The school hours were over, and most of the students were heading back to the dorm.The text sounded urgent, but I could not leave without attracting the attention of Kenny and his friends. They’d been gawking at me since after Daniel left the class. And even when the class was over, they’d followed me around like lost puppies… and not in the cute way. It was in the most annoying ‘I’d break all their heads open’ way. Kenny’s smirk made everything worse. “Need to use the bathroom for a minute, K, so it would be really nice if you could hold your friends,” I said slowly, hoping Kenny would understand my situation for once. “That’s not a problem, Couz. We wanna use the bathroom too, right guys.” His voice was loud, but he didn’t turn to look at his friends. His eyes were fixed on me, like I was some criminal plo

JacobThe next day came quicker than I’d anticipated. It felt like few minutes ago since Daniel was in my room, and now it was morning. Time sure did go fast when you’re having a blast. Maybe I was sad, because I didn’t want Daniel to leave… or maybe it was because of the text from last night. “The clearing tomorrow night.”It sounded more like a threat than an invitation, and it was only a few hours until nightfall. “Don’t worry about it, pretty boy. I’m sure it’s someone deprived of attention.”“You don’t know that.”“Yeah… I say we ignore it.”“What do you mean… ignore it? We can’t ignore it. This person has an intimate photo of us… and… and he could post it whenever he wanted.”“Exactly, Jake. We're going to meet… whoever this person is won’t change anything.”“We have to try at least. Maybe we going could make them change their mind. We could convince them.”“This seems like blackmail… and you don’t convince blackmailers… Jake.”“You may be right…. but we’re going. We can’t ri

JacobThe bell rang, after class, loud and annoying, and everyone bolted out of the classroom like it was on fire. Daniel was still not speaking to me, and Reggie?Well, Reggie wasn’t speaking to him either. Backpacks zipped up, chairs scraping the floor, and laughs bouncing off the walls. But not me, I just sat there, all nervous and fidgety.Wanted to go over to where Daniel was, but what would I say if I did? “Sorry, I made us go to the clearing… sorry it’s my fault that you and Reggie aren’t talking.”Daniel stuffed his books into his backpack, and I watched him leave the classroom without even noticing me.Waited a few minutes before I could follow, but Mr Richard had other plans for me."Jacob, hang on a sec?" Mr Richard called out, like it was no big deal. Like he hadn't done something awful to me.Like our relationship was still that of a teacher and his favorite student. I should've told him no, not today. Should have told him that I had a lot of catching up on my studie

RichardWhenever I got Jacob alone, Daniel always found a way to ruin it. But maybe that’s what I wanted. To take away the ‘golden boy’s’ toy from him. Since being in the school. It didn’t matter if there was a reason for me to do it. Jacob was a very bright student, just like Daniel, but that didn’t mean they should end up together in any way… shape or form. I couldn't care less what they both do with their lives, as long as they don’t do it with each other. I’d liked Jacob the very first time he’d introduced himself in class. He was a breath of fresh air, after months of having to deal with these elite assholes. I’d wanted to have a relationship with him… of a teacher and a student.That was it. He was like a little project that caught my interest, and I wanted to protect him. To keep him away.From the dark secrets that loomed in the walls of this school… from Daniel.But that one night had changed everything. I’d thought Jacob was just an innocent scholarship kid who neede
