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.
Max's POV:
She said yes. She finally said yes!
"You guys should just give up. That yacht is mine. One thing I know for sure—Elly won't be going anywhere else once she's had a taste of me," I bragged, leaning back on the bench. "Jay… better start polishing those pretty keys to that sweet baby of yours."
"Yo, Max!" Dylan butted in, rolling his eyes. "You haven't even bought that stupid motorbike yet, and you're already celebrating like you've won the lottery. Plus, she's never once responded to your 'suggestive' glances. How sure are you she's gonna strip naked for you on the first date?"
"C'mon, man, you know the ladies love me," I shot back confidently, smirking. "And the bike ain't stupid. For your information, I already have someone working on getting me one."
