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.

Ella's POV:
The nerve of him. Jason Knight thought he could just demand my time like I didn't have a life. "My house tonight. Seven o'clock." Who did he think he was, my boss? If he thought I had all the time in the world to cater to his whims, then the so-called school king had another thing coming. Tonight, I had a double shift at the diner, and there was no way I'd be done before midnight.
I shrugged off our conversation as I headed to work. Let him wait, I thought. I wasn't going to drop everything for his project, his ego, or his golden-boy charm. If he was as narcissistic as he seemed, he probably expected me to be at his doorstep right on the dot, hanging on his every word. Too bad. The reality was, I had bills to pay, a job to keep, and no patience for Jason's inflated sense of self-importance.
