Chapter 8
Aiden’s pov
I watch Sophie scramble to get out of the room quickly as soon as grandfather dismissed her
I’m left staring at her back and fighting the urge to look lower. She always had a pretty perky a*s.
“Aiden. Sergio won’t like that you’re constantly getting into trouble. You’re going to inherit the company one day. One bad thing
on your record and that’s it. You’re done.” Grandfather warned, drawing my attention, and rose from his seat
Sergio was my mother’s dad and the Ceo and chairman of Harrington.co, a very well known multi-billion dollar business around
the world.
Since mom didn’t want to inherit the business, it will be passed down to me.
Mom and Sergio were not really on good terms, especially when mom went on and married dad who was of lower class’. Since
then, their relationship had been strained and not many people knew that we were related at all.
“When have I ever done a bad thing grandfather?” I asked, lifting my brow and crossing my hands over my chest.
He raised a brow, looking so much like his son who was my father. But I suppose I should say his son looked so much like him.
“You’ve been in more trouble this week than you’ve been in prior weeks before Aiden. When are you going to stop teasing the
girl and tell her how you feel about her?” He sighed, walking around the desk and coming to stand just before me.
I looked away. “I don’t look at her in any way
“I’m your grandfather Aiden. I also know love when I see it. Quit teasing her and just tell her before it’s too late. She won’t be
here forever nor will she wait for you to man up.” He warned.
My jaw ticked. I hate it when he read straight through me. It made it impossible to hide things from him.
“I can’t. She hates me.” I grumble.
Sophie Bell hates my guts, always have. There was no way confessing I liked her would have her change her perspective on
me. To her, 1 was a spoiled brat who was way too ugly and obnoxious. At least that’s what I remember her saying when I was

about to approach her.
Grandfather snorted, amused clearly. “She hates you enough to have sex with you?”
I winced, turning away from him completely. “That was different. You heard her anyway, it was a mistake.”
“But it wasn’t for you Aiden. It’s easier to let out your emotions than to have them build up. You can’t tease her for the rest of her
life. You two
are seniors, only a few months until you might not see each other again.” He advised.
His words had my heart throbbing painfully. I didn’t want to think about not seeing her again in a few months.
“I can’t.” I snapped, walking away.
“Why not?’ He asked behind me. I stop and sighed. Looking at him over my shoulder i confessed. “Because I don’t want to get
hurt.”
*seven years ago
peeked behind the pillar, my eyes falling on the pretty new girl. I smiled. Sophie Bell. Even her name was pretty.
She was so cute sitting alone and playing with the blades of the grass. I should introduce myself. Or at least say hi.
My heart starts to slam in my chest as I get ready to move away from the pillar and make my way to her.
But I stop quickly when another girl who I recognize as Mila runs over to her. The two seemed to know each other as they began
to chat.
Maybe it wouldn’t be bad to introduce myself now. It would save me from stuttering with having to be in her presence alone. With
someone else there, maybe I’d not make a fool out of myself.
Letting out a breath, I started making my way over to the two girls. But I stop when I’m of hearing range.
“I think you have an admirer, Sophie.” Mila giggled.
“What? No I don’t.” Sophie shyly squirms and tries to use picking the grass as a distraction.

“Of course you do! Aiden Xavier couldn’t keep his eyes off you the entire class. He literally looked like he was already planning
the wedding.” Mila laughed.
I felt my heart start to pound when I heard my name being mentioned.
“The boy with blue eyes, brown s**gy hair, who sat behind me?” Sophie asked shyly. Their backs were facing me so I wasn’t
sure what her face portrayed
Was she blushing? Did she look annoyed? Was she passive?
Eavesdropping wasn’t really my thing, but I wanted to hear more of Sophie’s sweet voice. Especially when she was talking about
me.
“Oh my G*d. Do you have a crush on Aiden Xavier?”
I felt my heart start to pound even faster in my chest and my palms began to sweat.
“What! No!” Sophie denied which made my heart pang in hurt.
“Then why are you blushing?!” Mila teased and shouldered her playfully.
“I don’t like him okay? He’s ugly and creepy. Besides he looks dumb.” Sophie rushes out in one breath.
I s***red back, feeling my throat hurt.
“And he also looks like a spoiled brat. I don’t like spoiled obnoxious brats.” She continued.
“Whoa!” Mila laughed. “All of that by just staring at him for the first time?’
Sophie shrugged. “I’m a good judge of character. I don’t have to speak to a person to know them. One look and I can already tell.
Aiden isn’t my type.
Mila continued to laugh but Sophie remained silent.
Sophie’s words hurt me. So, so much that i felt tears brim my eyes.
“Well, it’s probably a good thing you don’t. Most of the girls our grade have a huge crush on him, you’d have a lot of competition.”
Mila giggled

Sophie took a while to answer. I don’t see what they see in him but I don’t care, I don’t like him.’ Sophie shrugged and I thought I
heard enough
I turned around to leave and grit any teeth in anger when the two started to laugh. They were laughing at me, I was sure.
I should’ve known a pretty face was only but a mask. I picked up my pace, my footsteps turning into sprints.
“Hey dude come check this out!” Ryland shouts to grab my attention when he catches a glimpse of me. I shook my head unable
to speak asi make my way to the bathroom, Never had I ever felt so much pain and anger before.
************
*Aiden.” His voice called out, freezing my hand on the door handle.
“Yes?” I sighed, not really in the mood to hear him lecture me again about confessing my feelings for Sophie.
“Keep your bodily fluids to yourself and not in the library or any part of the school. Do you hear me?” He says sternly.
I nodded, embarrassed that he had seen me in this kind of position.
He’d probably run his mouth to my parents the second he meets up with them.
Pinching the bridge of my nose I left the office in search of Sophie. I wouldn’t confess to her because that would only get me hurt
by her the second time. I didn’t want her to straight up say she didn’t want me in front of my face.
The bell rings, signaling another lesson. S**t. She’s probably on her way to calculus. We weren’t in the same classes.
I just needed to see if she was okay. She did leave the office in quite a hurry.
Sophie’s pov
I plopped down on the chair, my heart racing swiftly in my chest. This cannot be happening to me right now.
No.
I did not just get served with detention.

I plant my elbows on the desk and dig my hands in my hair. I don’t pay no mind to the students who were giving me weird stares
as they quickly start to fill the room.
‘We meet again pretty girl.”
1 lift my head, my eyes connecting with Carson’s smiling face. I envied his joy, his happiness. Because right now, I was not
happy at all.
I was angry. Frustrated. Annoyed. At him.
At Aiden Xavier
He’s the cause of this. He shouldn’t have come into the library. He should’ve never kissed me.
Carsons brows furrow as he makes his way over to me. ‘Well, this wasn’t the reaction I was expecting.” He jokes and settled
himself on the chiar beside mine
suaigtaten in the seat and remove my elbows from the desk while trying to smile. “You have calculus too?” That was a very s**id
question but i was hoping hed engage me in a conversation to pull me out of my thoughts about my pending detention.
H
