For the mapanli was intrigue that kept my eyes glued to them the other was the silent calousy i had yet to quench.

I noticed everyone at his table new silent as slie approached them. I would say Haiden grew silent too, only that he hadn’t speaking at all, just observing…..me.

Until the tall long-legged blonde took a chair and scooted over to him. His eyes drift away from me to settle on Gwen’s smiling face. From her stiff shoulders, I could tell she was nervous.

Who wouldn’t be while staring at a guy who nearly went to Juvie last spring?

Yet even with the stench of anxiety emanating from her pores, Gwen

I had a strong to what she was saying to him. It was like a desperate med, as I watch her mouth work to lure him in like all the other bays before. I hated that I ruld’t read the noveTents of someone’s lips.

“She’s simpath.” Meredith spolo, sounding to also be interested by the scene I couldn’t tear away from. I wish I could force my hands to rip my eye way from them, but even they were mumb to head my needs.

“She’s definitely going to score him.” She continued.

“Wait for it…_hair flip, silent giggle, reaching for hands-” Meredith bites her tongue as we all froze in stock at seeing Haiden lean towards Gwen and whisper something near her ears. His eyes snap to mine and something unreadable flashes through the brown Orbs. Whatever he had just muttered to Gwen made her entire

She turns around not caring that she had everyone in the roon’s attention and briskly marched back to us. Her blonde hair bounced over her shoulder with each furious step she took. Her face had morphed into an ugly frown that had spoiled the carefree mask she painted on her face today,

The leggy blonde was seething like a kettle and when she finally plopped her bottom on the chair, her posture said it all. His words had struck a chord in her,

“What happened?” I asked with curiosity.

Her baby blue eyes darts towards me and I couldn’t help but notice how they had grown a shade darker from expressing her anger. Not only that, an almost well

She grits her teeth. “Well I fucking changed my mind!” She yelled, gaining everyone’s attention

After a few seconds, they went back to their normal chattering Gwen exhaled a tense breath and removes her troubled eyes away from me Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

“Sorry. Just, stay away from him. He’s bad news and you were right, he has no personality so you shouldn’t waste your time on a guy like him anyway.” She murmurs softly. 3

“So about the party this Friday, I was thinking you guys could come over alter school and help make the weed brownies? My parents will be gone by five so we will. be alone by then.”

Samantha’s voice cuts through the growing tension. I didn’t know if to be grateful or not.

Visibly looking grateful that Samantha gave her a ticket to move the attention off of her, Gwen answered instantly.” I already bought a bag but I think another bag will be better. I’ll loan some cash from my dad and buy it tomorrow or Thursday.”

“I don’t have to babysit my brother since my aunt is in town for a while, so I guess.

“Tien li’s 1″İlhave Mike by the HTT, his brother works in the to dintown. I’ll see if he can come hard liquor too.” Samantha’s veice rang with exdteineni, eyes gleyming with glee.

How can they so easily sweep what happened under the rug?

While they conversed between the threro f them I couldn’t help but let my mind wander about what transpired between Halden and Gwen. I soon found my eyes leaving the three and let them stray towards, him.

Only that, he wasn’t staring my way anymore. His lost eyes were transfixed by what looked like a pocket knife that he held between his fingers. Appearing to be trapped inside his own mind, Haiden began to carve the table with the sharp blade

Time seemed to freeze as I stayed staring at Haiden, questioning his motives. Questioning him

Was it my imagination that conjured up the flicker of warmth and mirth in hiu fyes when he was speaking to me? 50 many questions but who was going to answer them? They would just be written on the many pages I had inside my head, pages that no one reads except me

I don’t know how long I had been peering at Haiden but som Mr. Gibbern, OUT principal for the last four years walked Over to him. He spoke to Haiden in tight clipped hushed tones before outstretching his hand.

Haiden’s cold eyes glance at his opened palm and slowly placed the pocket knife i n Mr. Gibbern’s awaiting hand. “Office now.” He said tightly, whirled around and made his way out of the cafeteria. Haiden stiffly follows him, not appearing to have a care in the world.

his form disappears out of the double doors I couldn’t help but ask myself one last question. What did Haiden Cross say t. o Gwen?
