Chapter 136 

But with Aiden, it was a whole new different because he could so easily just walk away. 

I guess I was just so scared that if we put a label on our relationship, he’ll have no problem 

walking away. 

I’m not special – there’s nothing distinctive about me. Hell – I’m not even that pretty. I could 

be skinnier. I could put in more of an effort into how I looked. And let’s not even get started 

on my poor attitude. 

Once you’ve been hurt, it becomes difficult to get attached again because you’re scared. It’s 

like this constant fear developed, and every time a new person comes into my life, I start to 

question their motives because I’m terrified that they’re going to break my heart all over 

again. 

As I continued to watch the blonde shamelessly flirt with Aiden, I couldn’t help but wonder. 

What if I really did push him away for good? 

What if he didn’t want me anymore? 

But – then there was also the possibility that maybe I was just imagining it all and paranoia was getting the best of me. Perhaps I was looking too deeply into something that just wasn’t there. Perhaps I was just another girl for him to check off the list. 

Deciding that this is not how I want to start my week off, I spared one more glance in their 

direction and walked – well, more like limped – towards my first period class. As soon as I 

walked in, I was bombarded with how are you Scarlett and I missed you Scarlett from 

people I had only spoken two words to in the past. 

Honestly, the hypocrisy. 

Someone is all of a sudden out sick for a while, and only then you decide you want to talk to 

them and be nice to them? 

When Aiden walked into first period, he first stopped at my desk. “Why didn’t you wait for me at your locker? You know you’re not supposed to be carrying heavy stuff.”

“You looked busy.” I had to physically restrain myself from rolling eyes. 

“Are you okay?” His eyebrows furrowed in confusion. 

Just fucking dandy. 

“I’m fine.” I coldly replied as I buried my face in my backpack, pretending to look for something. After a few more attempts at small talk, Aiden eventually took the hint and walked to his desk just as class was about to start. 

The rest of the day didn’t get much better, especially when Leo cornered me in the hallway 

as I was walking towards my locker to grab a book I had forgotten. It’s safe to say I went to 

class without the damn book, because as soon as he approached me I turned around and 

walked away. 

Speaking of Leo, during one of Aiden’s daily visits, I managed to convince him to tell me 

how he got Leo to delete that video all those months ago. 

“Pretty please.” I pouted as Aiden laughed, spinning around in the chair at my desk. 

“No.” He smirked. 

“Just tell me!” I crossed my arms hoping to look more intimidating. “It’ll make me feel a 

whole lot better…” 

Now that seemed to get his attention. 

“Pretty please with a cherry on top! Just tell me how you got him to delete that video. Once it’s on the internet, it’s out there forever.” 

“Fine!” Aiden eventually gave in as he came to lay down next to me. 

“After you stormed out, I cornered Young into a classroom and made him delete the video in front of me from his phone and iCloud.” He took my hand in his and began playing with my fingers as I listened intently. “Then I had a buddy of mine who knows computers trace it to the source, and take it down permanently.” 

“That’s it?” I asked dumbly. I don’t know what I was expecting, but it wasn’t that. 

“That’s it.” He nodded. “It helped that the video was only posted that morning.”

“What about the black eye?” I bit my lip nervously. 

“Ahh.” Aiden chuckled. “That – well he had that coming from a mile away.” 

“Aiden!” I scolded. “Violence is not the answer!” 

“So then I guess I probably shouldn’t tell you that I smashed his phone against the wall?” He sheepishly looked up at me, amusement playing in his voice. 

“Aiden!” 

“I love it when you say my name, Princess.” 

Boys are so… so confusing! 

On top of Aiden’s surprise this morning, Lucas was also acting weird. He wasn’t acting his usual cheery and extra annoying self. Instead – he was quiet and barely said a word to Caroline and I. When I asked her about it, she said he’s been like that all day and wouldn’t 

tell her what was wrong. 

Falso tried talking to him, but he left class as soon as the bell rang. 

After eight period, I was determined to go and find Lucas to make sure he was okay, but it seems Aiden had other plans. 

“Princess.” I heard him call out, but instead of turning around I kept walking. 

Princess my ass. He can go call that blonde bimbo princess, as far as I’m concerned.
