The Girl in the Hoodie is Mine
I had three simple rules: 1. Never remove the hood and mask. 2. Don’t attract attention. 3. Follow rule one and two at all costs. Simple, right? Well, I followed them religiously—until Jason came along and shattered them all. I didn’t want anyone to know my identity. I just wanted to stay in the shadows, finish school, and disappear. But no, the stupid jock had to get in my way, and now my peaceful, hidden life is in ruins. I didn’t mean to embarrass the school’s golden boy. His name? Jason. He’s the son of the country’s richest CEO. Ironically, I chose this place to hide from my own father, the man I’m trying to escape. I look too much like him, and if anyone made the connection, my cover would be blown. Hence, the hood and mask I wear every single day. But now, instead of just hiding from my father, I have to watch out for Jason, too. He’s vowed to make my life miserable. I still can’t figure out his obsession with me—one minute he’s humiliating me in front of everyone, and the next he’s trying to kiss me behind the bleachers.
Attached Strings
Ella's POV:
Okay, so maybe Max wasn't as helpless as I pegged him to be. He actually waited for me until my shift ended, and I was almost impressed. Jason and Dylan had already left—Dylan had to take the drunken, pissed-off Jason home. Max was all smiles, practically bouncing on his heels with excitement.
Taking the extra helmet he handed me, I couldn't help but curse Jason under my breath. *This is all his fault!* If he hadn't annoyed me so much, I wouldn't be stuck in this predicament, going out with Max of all people.
As we hit the road, Max drove so slowly that I couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Seriously, Max, are you trying to give me a nap back here? You drive like an old man!"
Max shot me a mock offended look, his eyes wide with feigned indignation. "Hey! This is a high-powered machine! You don't just rush into things like a reckless teenager!"
