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.

Dylan's POV:
Seeing Ella go to the party with Jason was a gut punch, but I told myself not to read too much into it. Just because they showed up together didn't mean there was anything real between them, right? But when she stepped out of his car, my breath caught in my throat. She looked absolutely breathtaking, like something out of a dream. It was almost surreal to see her transformed like that. This was the same girl who waited tables, yet here she was, turning heads and making the high society crowd do a double-take. If you didn't know any better, you'd swear she was born to this life. Even Amber, with all her smug little airs, didn't recognize her, and honestly, neither would I have if Max and I hadn't known in advance that she'd be Jason's date.
