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.
I Like You
JASON POV:
I definitely don't like how things are going. First, Ella and I have that argument where she accuses me of kissing her just for show. Then, she turns down the chance to work with my company, which would've been a great stepping stone for her. And as if things weren't confusing enough, Max throws out this wild theory about her possibly having a sugar daddy. At first, I brushed it off. I mean, this is Ella—stubborn, independent Ella. But then we walk into the diner and see her laughing and chatting with some wealthy older guy, someone who's clearly not just some regular customer.
I tried convincing myself that there was some logical explanation, that things weren't as they seemed. But when we finally ask her about it, she just smirks and says, "I like mature guys." What the hell is that supposed to mean? Is she messing with us? Or… is this really happening?
