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.
Little Jason Is Threatened
Jason POV:
Just as I was about to say something else to annoy Ella, the professor's voice cut through the classroom like a knife.
"Jason, care to answer the question?"
Fuck. What question? I hadn't been paying attention at all. I blinked, scrambling for something—anything—that could save me from looking like an idiot in front of the whole class. My eyes darted to Ella, but she was no help, still staring straight ahead like she didn't even know I existed. Great.
"Uh…" I started, trying to piece together something from the vague background noise I'd been ignoring. "Could you, uh, repeat the question?"
The professor gave me that disapproving look professors seem to have mastered, like he was personally offended I didn't have his entire lecture memorized. "We were discussing the impact of globalization on modern economics. Surely you've heard of it?"
