Chapter One
A stitch in time
Tori's POV
I know that it's rare for a nobody to have a boyfriend but what if I had one and worse if he was cheating on me.
I stood at the door, my hands gripping my phone as I watched the video of my boyfriend and another girl making out.
I opened my mouth to scream but no words came out just tears rolling from my eyes as I stood a the hallway if the school.
“Get out of the way nerd” I heard someone say, looking up with my red eyes. I saw ‘Sonia’ the school belle and her minions giving me the irritated look.
I quickly moved aside. Adjusting my clothes but they came in front of me instead.
Sonia stood so close, I caught a whiff of her floral perfume.
“Done fighting back” she said for the others to laugh.
Her minions leaning in as well.
Here we go again.
I let out a sigh. Dapping the corners of my eye with my fingers. I looked up at them. I instinctively stretched My lips to a bright smile.
“I'm not done fighting unless you are done losing” I say. Sonia hissed.
“You weasel” she cursed, reaching out to grab me, but I moved back instead causing her to almost fall.
She stormed her feet.
“Where did they even get you from?” She asked.
I clicked my tongue.
“From the castle” I joked. “Unlike you”
Just when she was about to reach out to me again. The entire hall seemed to quieten.
Whispers spread across the hall as everyone made way for who we knew was obviously coming.
Richard Baron.
Sonia's eyes went wide as she tried to adjust her clothes like a freak. Everyone seemed to pause as he passed.
He was hot. His brown hair tousled on his head, his hazel eyes held a spark that kept everyone glued and his lips pulled in a smirk as he walked down the hallway with his own crew.
As for me. It felt like I was seeing a movie.
A hot movie.
Because he was not just walking down the hallway but he was walking towards my direction. I wished the ground could swallow me up.
But wishes don't always come true because he stood right there in front of me.
He opened his lips and said something I didn't hear.
Then he snapped his fingers in my face. I blinked severally looking at his sculptured face.
“Didn’t you hear me?” He asked. This was the first time, I really heard his voice. Deep, smooth just like I imagined.
“Sorry” I apologized. His brows furrowed, a frown forming on his face but it didn't ruin his looks.
“I said, get out of the way creep” he said calmly but I flinched.
It felt like a part of my heart had been ruptured. I had heard those words severally but I didn't expect the golden boy to say that to my face.
My head hung low as I made way for him to get pass. Without a second glance, he walked away with his crew. The hushed whispers and crowds died as everyone dispersed.
I felt my shoulders sink.
“You think you would get his attention” it was Sonia again. I ignored her, heading to my locker as I grabbed a few books and walked away heading to my class.
The thoughts of what happened in the hallway filled my mind as I got to the door of the class and pulled it open but every thought died when I saw my boyfriend kissing that girl again.
I swallowed. We are just classmates in history class and that's it. Finding my seat, I made myself comfortable away from the prying eyes of the onlookers at the hallway.
“Tori” I looked up to see my closest friend ‘Diasy’
“Hey” I waved, she sat close to me.
“What a wonderful morning, don't you think?” She asked adjusting her glasses.
“Not for me” I mumbled remembering how I was called a freak. I picked up a book from my desk.
The History teacher walked into the class and everyone found their seats. Leaving me with no seatmate whatsoever.
I tried not to roll my eyes at the thought.
“Richard could you act like you are in a class” the teacher said.
I looked at Richard Baron in all his glory, his muscles flexing as he made his way to his seat, earning cheers and whispers from everyone.
I adjusted in my seat and looked away.
“Well we have a transfer student in this class and…” the teacher looked around.
“He's meant to be here but I guess he still in the principal's office” she adds.
The teacher walked further into the class.
“ Who has an empty seat to spare?” She asked.
There were whispers everywhere as everyone seemed to look for an empty seat while I looked at the empty seat beside me.
“Miss Adams” the teacher called for me to shoot up from my seat.
“Looks like you have an empty seat, would you accommodate the new student?” She asked.
I shrugged. My eyes darting from the seat and back to her.
“You can come in,” the teacher said.
We all followed her line of sight to see a pair of shoes before someone walked in.
My breath stalled.
On a normal day, It wouldn't have been this impossible to breathe but now it was.
The girls were squirming in their seats, and adjusting like they could make an extra seat for the demigod in front t of us.
“My name is Aaron Carter”
Aaron Carter in the flesh!!!!
I almost passed out. He had several followers on his IG and he wasn't just hot.
He was ice cream weather hot.
Not like I have known much about him but Ive seen a lot about him.
He walked over to my seat.
Someone put on the AC I think I'm going to be on fire.
