Chapter 16
Sophie’s pov
I lifted the bottle to my lips and took a sip of the cool water. Coach Ben said we would run three laps around the huge field to build ‘stamina’. There was no way to getting out of this.
“I’m going to be crying before I reach halfway. I can already see it.” Mila grumbled and puts out her hand so I can pass the bottle to her.
“You’re a psychic now?” I giggled and passed her the bottle.
She shrugs while lifting up her head and started to pour the water down her throat.
I sighed and looked at the tracks. It was blazing hot and the sun threatened everyone to melt their skin off their body. I also hated physical education and running.
So you can imagine how upset I am that I would be doing it in a few.
Suddenly loud booming laughs neared. Everyone including me turned around. We quickly spot Aiden and his friends making their way over here and a few feet behind was Carson whose body looked rigid.
Oh no. Did Aiden do something to him?
My body stiffen as I noticed Aiden’s gaze was on me and he was without a doubt heading my way. Ryland and Austin had a huge shit eating
grin on their faces as they patted his back.
I held my breath. What the hell did he have planned?
“Why is he coming here?” Mila questioned in confusion as she wipes her mouth with the back of her hand.
I don’t answer her because well because my tongue was currently tied. Aiden was making his way over to me and I wasn’t sure what he would do. Aiden loved causing a scene.
Ryland and Austin looked at each other over Aiden’s shoulder and they grinned with a knowing look when Aiden stops just before me.
Don’t even think about it asshole!” Mila snarls and takes a step forward but Ryland blocks her path and grabs her and pulls her away.
Mila yells and starts to fight him off.
Aiden reaches behind me and I feel the heaviness of my tresses falling down my back. “I thought I told you, you look better with your hair down puppy?”
“Give it back Aiden,” I demanded
Aiden Wiltshuis hand up which prevented me from grabbing a hold of the scrunchie. He was taller than me and lifting up his hand was now making it impossible for me to take the scrunchie out of his hold even if I go on my tip toes.
“What are you going to do if I don’t puppy?’ He taunted, his eyes twinkling with mirth and something else,
“Don’be an ass “I hissed under my breath
“Give it back to her, Carson growled behind Aiden. I stiffen I didn’t want another fight to transpire because of me.
Aiden’s eyes swirled with irritation. Smirking, Aiden drops his hand. “The boyfriend speaks. How nice.” He says without any emotion in his voice,
Aiden flings the scrunchie to me and it falls at my feet. “Pick it up and be the good little puppy that you are.”
glared at him furiously and was completely annoyed that he was doing this in front of everyone.
Aiden then leans forward so that he could whisper lowly so only I could hear. “Don’t forget you’re my bitch and not his.” He says with a bit of a chuckle and then pulls away.
Looking down at me with a crooked smirk Aiden walks away with Austin. Ryland let go of Mila who smacked him on his chest. He hisses but doesn’t say a word as he follows his friends.
I crouched to pick up the scrunchie and then when I straighten I looked up at Carson.
He had an odd gleam in his eyes and he looked at me emotionlessly. “Carson?” I whispered, not sure if he was upset with me or not.
Carson’s jaw only ticked and he walks past me without uttering a word. I turned around and stared at his back in confusion and a bit startled by what he had just done to me.
Mila stops beside me, grumbling about how Ryland was a gorilla in disguise and how annoyed and angry she was that he held her back from kicking Aiden in his balls.
I felt a penetrating glare on the side of my face.
My eyes left Carson’s back to draw to the glare. My eyes meet Aiden’s. He looks at Carson then back at me. His eyes flashed with triumph and he smirked.
I gritted my teeth knowing he had definitely said something to Carson to have him treat me so coldly now.
* Minutes before going on the field *
Carson’s pov
“Hey man.” A guy said beside me on the bench. We were in the changing rooms and getting ready for P.E.
I turned to look at him while tying up the lace on my shoes. “Yeah?” I arch a brow.
He was a ginger head boy and obviously my age. I couldn’t remember his name but knew he was in my maths class.
I notice you’ve been hanging out with Aiden’s girl.” He said, looking behind me nervously.
slurned to see if it was someone he saw heading over here but there was no one except for another boy wito was just throwing a shirt over tus head
Turnig my allen tion back to the ginger head boy, my brows furrowed when my brain picked up on his words. “Aiden’s girl?’ I worded out my confusion
Gwger read boy rody ” Yeah Aidents gut, Soplue Bell She’s off limits and that guy doesn’t like other guys around his girl. Warned off everyone from ouching her he may act like an ass to her but everyone krows she’s his gui
Furybuired though my vens The tyd does he mean Sophie is Alden’s quit? She woukinit have agreed to be my girlfriend if she wasn’t
Sophie wasn’t like that
I shook my head and snorted. “Sophie’s my girlfriend, not Aiden’s. That ass could never score a beautiful girl like Sophie.”
Ginger head boy looks like he was shocked by electricity. “Your girlfriend? Man, I just want to warn you that Aiden doesn’t like when someone takes what is his. You’re new here and don’t know what that guy is capable of. You should stay clear from him and probably dump that girl before it’s too late.”
Irritation stirred my being. Why was everyone afraid of this Aiden?
“I’m not afraid of him.” I snarled. Sure that ass had a mean right hook but it wasn’t the first time I got my nose broken.
