I want to bleach my head. Why am I even bothering with him anymore?
Still, as Kim and I walk the hallway, I can’t help searching for the jet b
lack hair and those metallic eyes.
We arrive at our class. Cole and Ronan are in deep conversation. Or more like, Ronan is in a one-man show while Cole reads from a book.
Upon seeing us, Ronan grins. “Bonjour, mes demoiselles.”
Cole nods in acknowledgement.
I smile back as I slide into my seat and bring out my notebook and pencils.
“Wanna party at my place?” Ronan waggles his eyebrows at me, the insinuation of what happened at his last party clear.
“Holy hell.” Kim’s whisper-yell draws my attention.
I follow her field of vision and my heart stops beating.
Aiden walks into the classroom with Silver hanging off his arm.
Chapter Thirty-Two
The world stops spinning.
My grip tightens around my pencil so hard, I’m surprised it doesn’t snap in two.
Silver has her hand around Aiden’s bicep. She’s chatting so happily as if they are in some cliche teen drama. He offers her his dazzling smile that he flashed me forty-eight hours ago.
Something inside me breaks.
I can hear the sound, loud and final.
I can feel the remnants shattering. Piece by piece, they gather at the dark corners of my chest.
Aiden’s silver eyes meet mine, gleaming with mock condescension.
I can almost imagine what he would’ve told me if he spoke.
I took your virginity and now I’m back where I belong.
Silver has a smug expression. I try not to look at her, the shiny blonde hair cascading to her shoulders, or the uniform pressed to perfection.
A king needs a queen, peasant.
Pressure builds behind my eyes, but I refuse to let them see the effects they have on me.
I refuse to let him see me cry again. I was stupid enough to show weakness before. Not anymore.
For once, Ronan is speechless. He keeps staring between Aiden and Silver then me as if he’s in some freak show.
Cole glares at Silver then at Aiden before throwing me a sympathetic look.
“You’re okay?” Kim whispers from behind me.
I smile and for some reason, I think it comes out convincing. “Can I borrow your notebook?”
Kim appears confused for a second.
