ISABELLA POV:
As soon as my name was called, I composed myself and walked confidently toward the podium, just as I stood and was going to start my speech, a certain thought crossed my mind, will Aiden be here now? Is he sitting among the famous people in the first row? No no Bella you just have to concentrate on your speech now. I looked around everyone and as I was going to start my speech, my eyes halted, when I saw one person who was sitting in the front row, with the same evil smirk on his face, what the hell, what is he doing here? I took a deep breath and started my speech.
After I completed my speech, there was a round of applause and our Principal came and hugged me.
"I am so proud of you Isabella, and let me tell you a small secret, you have topped your Literature department, you scored the highest marks."
I hugged her and I was so so happy, I was dying to tell my mom and granny that I topped my department.
Thank you so much, Ma'am.
I was getting down and when I turned left I saw that arrogant man sitting and again our eyes met, I gave him my ugly scowl and walked away.
"Hey Bella you rocked, I just loved every word you said, and I have the most happening news for you. Guess what, Aiden Williams is here, I heard some of the girls speaking about him, he is sitting in the front row."
What are you saying Lily, Aiden is here and he heard my speech. I was so shocked.
"Yes, but did you see Bells, that rude man is also here, I told you already, that he is a big shot, but you didn't hear me, I just hope, we don't have to face any more problems."
Don't worry Lily that arrogant man can't harm us, you know he was smirking at me the whole time, I just hate his attitude.
"Students let's give a huge round of applause for MR AIDEN WILLIAMS, he is here today to boost your confidence and strength."
I was jumping inside, finally, the day has come, I will be able to see Aiden.
I and Lily were in the second row, I hope mom and granny reach soon, but they will never listen to me, they missed my speech.
Why is that arrogant man getting up, our principal is asking for Aiden, not him?
He stood up from his chair and everyone started shouting, Aiden, Aiden, and so on.
He came forward and turned back, his eyes met mine, and he again gave me a smirk,
Finally, I was able to hear Lily shout my name,
"Isabella that man is AIDEN WILLIAMS, we made a big mistake girl."
I was shocked, I was standing as if I couldn't believe my ears, I sat down and my hands were turning cold like ice. What the hell is happening, that arrogant, cold, and rude person is my Aiden. Oh shit, that day at the mall he must think I am such a crazy girl, I was fighting for him, but with him, no no, what I am thinking. I will surely go mad, I insulted him so badly, how will I face him?
"Bella the Principal is calling your name, everyone is looking at you".
What;
Oh no, my name is being called for certificate distribution and Aiden is giving the medals to the top performers. I am so screwed.
I stood up slowly and reached the stage.
"MR WILLIAMS meet our brightest student ISABELLA MILLER, she is the topper from the Literature department."
Aiden took the medal and I felt as if my feet were not moving, I stood like a stone.
Finally, he came forward and placed the medal while putting it, he slowly came close and whispered in my ear,
"Congratulations Miss manners, it's finally good to know you."
I stood there shocked and shaking, he gave me my certificate and took hold of my hands, and spoke,
"Miss Miller many many congratulations, I hope your all dreams come true."
Thank you so much, Aiden, no I mean Mr. WILLIAMS, I spoke slowly and left quickly from there.
After I came down, I turned back slowly, and then again I saw him, he was looking straight at me, with his signature smirk.
Oh no, why God, I did such a blunder, but how can Aiden in real life be so much rude and arrogant? In my heart and mind, he was always sweet, caring, and loving types, but when I met him, I didn't feel any of that vibes.
"Here she is, I am so proud of you baby, your speech was mind-blowing."
But mom, you, and granny were not there when I was giving the speech, I didn't see you both.
"Baby we both were standing at the back, I forgot to bring our passes, but that guard knows you well, so he allowed us to sit in the back row."
Again you forgot the pass
"Stop talking about us now, tell us did you meet AIDEN WILLIAMS?"
Oh, granny, I made a huge mistake, I narrated to them everything that has happened.
See I am such a fool mom, I spoke with him with such harsh words, what will I do now?
"Don't worry baby, just go and apologize to him, and tell him that you are sorry".
Mom, he is such a busy man, I hope I can find him and apologize.
"Don't think too much now and come give us a hug, you have made us so proud baby."
Lily I shouted, come here, she came running.
"Bells I was searching for you everywhere, AIDEN is leaving soon, so if we have to meet him, let's go to the parking area, I have spoken with a guard, and he informed me, that Aiden's car is parked in the middle of the parking area."
Thank God, he didn't leave already, mom, granny you both keep my medal and certificate, and wait here for a bit, we will come soon.
Isabella never thought that this meeting with Aiden will break her trust forever, she was going to learn a very BIG TRUTH about THE REAL AIDEN WILLIAMS.
