was just your imagination all along.
Still, even with the state that resembles Tue, it still manages to pull me in. Which confused me more than I let on.

I found my gaze slipping to his mouth, hating that the cigarette was nestled between his pillowy lips. They were soft last night.
Softer than anything I’ve ever touched or tasted.
Before I knew it. I was already in front of him, peering at the boy who I should stay away from I couldn’t pinpoint where things
had started or where everything shifted between us. Not more than a couple of days ago, wrWire strangers.
We still were, but now we were strangers who kissa.
“I’ve come to speak to you.” I answered his previous question as I forced my eyest o move away from his tempting lips.
Just one look at them and my head has tumed foggy. I nearly forgot what I came here for

Iclosed my eyes as the smoke brushes aver my entire face. My jaw clenched in annoyance and when I poel my Cyes op, Ele
sight of an amused Haiden led more o f my annoyance until it nearly turned into anger.
* Really? I couldn’t tell.” The corner of his mouth twitches into a small smiek
Peering down at me, Haiden’s eyes traced my features litil he ripped his Lys way to stare behind me. There were nothing but
trees.
He drags the cigarette back to his mouth but belor drawing in the toxin, he speaks. “I’m not in the mood to speak ta anyone.”
His eyes move from the trees and drop to plerce through mine. “Not even you princess.
My eye twitched, something I sadly – inherited from mother when I am either vexed or beyond frustrated. In this case, I was both

frustration
Not even thinking much about it, I took a step forward and shocked Haiden by quickly grasping the cigarette that was snuggled
between his pink lips and harshly tugged it away.
His mouth remained a little parted as he watched me throw the cancer stick on the concrete and squished it under my converse
“What the fuck Bella?!” Haiden hissed after he regained his composure and buried his shock.
My sharp glare pinned him quickly as I pointed a finger at his chest. “These aren’t even good for you Haiden! They’re dangerous
and referred to as cancer sticks for a reason. Don’t shorten your life span just to look cool. I just did you a favor.” I snapped.
He opens his mouth to speak but I beat him to it, completely refusing to let him get a word in. “And I don’t care if you don’t want
to speak to anyone. You’re going to hear me out whether you like it o r not.” I jeered, unknowingly moving
fanand until my finger Jabbed at his CH
Haiden’s eyes dip to my face, tracing it slowly while looking somewhat amused.” And what will happen if I don’t?” He chuckles
lowly and takes a step back until his back is plastered on the wall. His arms quickly cross over his chest, biceps flexing, caused
by the action.
He also crosses his ankles and looks down at me intensely, I stood my ground, jutting out my chin to se’m intimidating “I will
keep pestering you until you do Maybe even throw rocks at your window i fI have to.”
Haiden rolls his bottom lip between his teeth and sucks before letting out a low rumbling chuckle. “You’re a very demanding girl
Bella.”
I crossed my ams under my breast, somewhat feeling vulnerable with the way he now stared at me.
Haiden’s brown eyes search my face and after a couple of seconds he lets out a sigh, relaxing his tense form and then gave a
single nod. “Fine. Get on with it.”
Seeing that he looked interested in hearing me out I relaxed my hands and opened my mouth to speak. Nothing comes out
He raises a brow in expectation and a quick gleam of amusement sneaks through his irises
“Well? We don’t have all day.” He quickly coughs to hide the chuckle that slips out. Haiden was without a doubt laughing at me
inside his corrupted head.
Iexhaled a sharp breath that sounds like a n exaggerated groan of anger before finally spitting out the words that had been stuck
in my throat. “I’m sorry.”
There I said it
But the brooding boy whose height intimidated everyone, only looked at me like I was some sort of alien. “Sorry, can you repeat
that? I didn’t quite hear.” His eyes nailed me with a flickering look of mirth. So rare and warm that suddenly m y mouth didn’t
have brakes.
“I’m sorry okay! I’m sorry that I’m the cause of the rumor that’s circulating
und it and I’ve mished your name Hit hey, con to think of it
You caused this in the first place. You started it by dirtying me in the first day o i school and then continued to make a mockery
out of me. Yes I agree, saying you have herpes was a bit too much and lincalled for but it’s not like you have it and
“How have you not run out of air yet? Is this some sort of ability that you passess? Talking without catching your breath? I gotta
give it to you Bella, you keep surprising me.” He moves off the wall with a laugh and takes a step towards me.
I took a step back involuntarily. Even being intimidated by him, I still managed to lift my chin.” I’m trying to apologize
He lifts a taunting brow. “Really? Because all I heard were your excuses and how I was the bad guy in all this.” He circles his
finger between us and smirks.
“Anyway, you don’t have to apologize. I don’t care about the rumor, it doesn’t faze me.” He takes a step back and
Shes his hands inside the pockets of his jeans.
My brows joined together to show my confusion. “You don’t?” I asked.
He shrugs. “Nope.”
“But why are you here, away from everyone?” I voiced out my curiosity. Haiden was complex, a very complex human being
“Because Bella, I didn’t come here because I was afraid of the rumor. I came here because I was afraid of what I would do.”
