Who Gets The Girl?

Chapter 7

I leaned against the wall next to me, watching him for a second and rolled my eyes when I realized that he was just simply staring at the first page of the book and wasn't reading anything.

A part of me wondered why he was hiding away here, when there was an huge party today. When I looked at his eyes, I could see a little glint of something in them.

Perhaps sadness?

My lips pursed as I walked towards him and he only got out of his trance when I got to his front.

I folded my arms. "Aiden, what a surprise to see you here"

He looked straight, cold and with no expression on his face, I nodded, taking the sit opposite him without asking.

"Not the best place to drown your sorrows If you asked me. Ever heard of a bar?", I uttered, pulling the book out of his hands, he didn't resist but just stared at me. Obviously not appreciating my presence.

" what do you want?"

His tone was rude and harsh as though, he was venting all his anger of something on me.

I scuffed, as I leaned into my seat. "Also not the best way to talk to someone you want to sleep with"

I muttered, wanting him to know that I already knew about their stupid bet but for some reason, he just stared at me blank-faced, not surprised and also not interested.

"Trust me, It wasn't my idea"

His deep husk voice muttered as If it would be his last thing ever to sleep with me and I chuckled, looking him in the eyes "but yet, you agreed to it"

His face had a glint of annoyance as they washed over me. He stared back and I didn't take my eyes away.

"That's not how things work, kathy. It was two votes against one. I had no other option but to oblige"

Two votes? Cade and luke?

He scuffed in what sounded like mockery, his greens piercing into me. "And don't act like you don't love the idea of three guy rushing here and there to steal your attention. The ugliest girl in school is now the new rush girl. I bet you can't still wrap your head around it and still get flutters every night-"

Jerk

I blinked, feeling an enormous pain tugging against my heart and my shaky fingers curled around themselves, underneath the table.

I stud up realizing that I couldn't talk to someone like him.

"What?, you're running now? But I'm not done. Don't you want to hear all that I think about you"

His voice uttered into the still silence and my feet halted, a sudden flare of anger burning through my vien. I turned to face him, but I was surprised to see him standing one feet away from me.

I looked into his eyes and all I saw was an huge amount of pain and sadness, dancing in between his greens, and my heart skipped at that, wondering what has made him this sad today.

His greens pierced into my soul and I felt a sudden need to comfort him, a sudden need to let him know that he didn't have to be alone, suffering.

"You think getting a frickin' scar off your face, would make people like you? You're just the same old kathy and-"

I wrapped my hands around his neck, my feet rising from the ground in what looked like a tiptoe and pulled him closer to myself.

I could feel the spicy mint scent of his cologne, seeping into me and a part of me had imagined him hugging me back but he just remained stiff and taken off guard.

When he was this close to me, I could feel his sadness burning also in my heart and I blinked, in somewhat worry as my cracking voice whispered into his left ear.

"Aiden-, are you alright?"
