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 stupid jerk kissed me! He freaking kissed me! He stole my first kiss, right there in the middle of the alley, without warning. Shocking? Yes. Infuriating? A hundred times more. He actually kissed me! Jason freaking stole my first kiss! I was too stunned to react for a second, just frozen in disbelief. And yes, I know what you're thinking—how in the world is a final-year campus girl still unkissed? Well, blame my overprotective father for that one. He practically scared off any potential guys my whole life. And, for the record, yes, I'm still a virgin too. Again, thanks, Dad.
