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.
Silent Treatment
Ella POV:
I think I've officially lost a few brain cells. Max's endless monologue while directly talking to me makes me want to punch him square in the face, and honestly, I'm seriously considering it. God, please, just end me now.
Just when I thought I couldn't hold it in any longer, the professor entered the room, forcing Max and Dylan to finally turn to the front.
Thank you, God.
To my surprise, even Jason let out a sigh of relief next to me. I raised an eyebrow at him, curious. He just shrugged and whispered, "What? The guy's nice, but God, he needs to get his brain checked. I think I just lost half of my brain cells."
As if he's any better. But, yeah… Max is definitely something else.
As the professor droned on, Jason leaned in and whispered again, "I know what you did."
