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.
Chocolate, Lots Of Them
ELLA POV:
The cramps had finally subsided, leaving me in that weird limbo where I couldn't decide whether to drag myself to school or crawl back into bed for a glorious nap. As I sat there, contemplating life, I watched Jason rinse off the breakfast dishes.
So, he was the clean type. Not bad.
But it was time for him to leave. He'd overstayed his welcome—way overstayed, actually. And the worst part? He was making me think he wasn't so bad after all. That was dangerous. I didn't need to be thinking about Jason like that.
As I mulled over the best way to politely kick him out, Jason beat me to it.
"I should get going," he said, turning off the tap and drying his hands. "I need to head back to my place and get ready for class. You, on the other hand, should stay here and rest."
Oh, good. He had some self-awareness.
"I'll take good notes," he added, smirking. "I'll bring them to you later so you don't fall behind."
