Chapter 7
Sophie’s pov
I nervously looked anywhere but at principal Xavier who hadn’t uttered a word as yet since Aiden and I sat down on the two vacant seats before his Mahony desk.
The only sounds were the ticking of his pen as he hit it on his desk while staring at Alden and I fixedly
I pulled my bottom lip in my mouth, trying to calm my nerves. This was the first time I had ever been called to the office. I was a good student, there was no need for me to ever be called to the office
What could I have possibly done?!
I breathed out air through my parted lips, trying to keep my focus on my breathing. I couldn’t have a panic attack now
Not when this could not be anything to worry about “Sophie
Principal Xavier hadn’t even finished his sentence when I lift my head from the desk and whipped my eyes to his quickly
“Yes sir!” I said loudly, too loudly.
Aiden chuckles beside me and I shift in the seat while looking away from principal Xavier.
I cleared my throat and then shaked off my nerves. “Yes sir?” I asked more calmly while lifting my eyes back to stare at his very stern dark eyes.
With his pen tapping on the desk, principal Xavier eyes narrowed on me. “It has come to my attention that you stayed in the library after school hours yesterday?”
My heart starts to pound.
Did I leave something I shouldn’t have in the library? Was I not allowed to stay after school hours?
But I never got called out for it before….
Was I really going to get into trouble because I stupidly had that idea to watch porn in the library?
I swallowed harshly, shifting my gaze to Aiden sneakily and then ripping it away when I saw his smirk.
What an ass.
I began to feel perspiration decorating my skin when principal Xavier shifts to place his elbows on the desk and his fingers interlocking. ‘What for?
Aiden snorted and I glared at him as sneakily as I could. But judging by the intensity of principal Xavier’s gaze, I knew he had seen it.
I licked my rather dry lips and answered, not as bravely as I did prior. “I stayed to finish up a project sir.”
Aiden snorts but tries to hide it with a cough.
Principal Xavier’s brows raised and with the stare he gave me, I knew that he didn’t believe me one bit. He hums, shifting his gaze to his grandson before shifting it back to me
“Funny Joe said you came out running like the fires of hell were nipping at your feet. He was worried, especially seeing my grandson over here, right behind you, and was equally running.’ He nudges his chin towards Aiden who hadn’t uttered a word as yet.
But hearing his name join in on the conversation, his slumpy form sits right up. I would’ve laughed if I wasn’t terrified and currently holding a shit I needed to drop.
Terror can do that to you.
Principal Xavier places his chin on his interlock fingers and then said. ” With our policy and our concern for all students, I had to investigate what may have caused you to run so…….quickly like a murderer was on the loose. Or so as Joe described it.”
Damn it Joe! Why couldn’t you have left this alone?
I squeezed my eyes, cursing in my head as my lips starts to wobble.
If this wasn’t bad he wouldn’t have called me to the office. He wouldn’t have called us both to the office.
I looked at Aiden at the exact moment he decided to look at me. Our eyes connected like magnets and I felt my breath catch. My pulse roars in my chest
I’m the first to break eye contact when principal Xavier continues. “Now to my surprise, I didn’t quite expect to see you miss Bell in quite a position. Especially with my grandson.”
I gripped the edges of the chair brutally until my knuckles turned white and until my veins showed clearly.
“I don’t know what you mean sir,” My eyes began to beat quickly as I try to remove the sting from them. I didn’t want a taint in my school records.
“Grandfather
Aiden starts but he is cut off by principal Xavier. “No need to try to understand. I’ll just show you two, to make it easier.” The laptop he had shifted on the side when we walked in is now turned to face Aiden and me,
And on the screen. Is us. Fucking.
In the library
Thacked out a cough and turned bright red. I wanted to crawl into a hole and die. Perhaps even better if the floor would just open up and swallow me whole.
Anything to save me from this embarrassment I now face.
To make matters worst, principal Xavier reaches in front of the laptop and presses down on the space bar. The video resumes and the entire room is filled with the faint sounds of my moaning and Aiden’s groaning.
Principal Xavier quickly pauses the video, looking awkward, and cringes.
I fell bile rise in my throat and quickly swallowed it down. I thought I would get embarrassed if someone caught me watching porn, but practically being in one myself put the icing on the cake.
“You two must not have known that there are surveillance cameras in the library” He goes back to tangling his fingers together on the desk while he stared at us
The only difference was the frustration and disappointment in his eyes. “I expected this from Aiden. But not from you Sophiel What were you two thing?
I fiunched at his angry voice +
“We
Aiden starts but I cut in quickly.
“I’m sorry sir. It was a stupid mistake. We didn’t know
“Of course you two didn’t know. There’s a strict rule that says no sexual intercourse between students, especially on the premises!” He
snaps.
