This feel like deja vu The wody were is hy me hours po, whesid the I had grantuse to his codes, Surprisingly more than anyone else That my eyes drift away from hiki un hair to his eyes. Oh they were a cold brow, something I thoughtbrown eyes гяn ineer portray. Broati es are Sippovat tobe warm and inviting. Haideti’s eyes are thefaroppexite I suppose I had it coming. heing treated coldly. But them as I thought more about i I, when has Haidenever treated me the opposite? If he had, it would only last for a flash of a second and then the emotionBets hidden so quicitly that you wonder if i. I 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 thanI let on. I didn’t have to be here. I didn’t have to dn’t have to be here I didn’t have to face him. I don’t have to apologize especially with the stunt he pulledlast night. Hat my entire body says otherwise, I wanted to be here. I wanted to apologize 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’tpinpoint where things had started or where everything shifted between us. Not more than a couple ofdays 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 histempting lips. Just one look at them and my head has tumed foggy. I nearly forgot what I came here for “Haiden’s eyes didn’t lose the look of uninterest as he draws in another puff of

holy to blow the lines Iclosed my eyes as the smoke brushes aver my entire face. My jaw clenched in annoyance and when Ipoel my Cyes op, Ele sight of an amused Haiden led more o f my annoyance until it nearly turned intoanger. * 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 moodto 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 but more leaning on the SUUUUUL MEULE SITE FI U frustration Not even thinking much about it, I took a step forward and shocked Haiden by quickly grasping thecigarette 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 andsquished 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 youHaiden! They’re dangerous and referred to as cancer sticks for a reason. Don’t shorten your life spanjust 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’tcare if you don’t want to speak to anyone. You’re going to hear me out whether you like it o r not.” Ijeered, 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 quicklycross 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 tose’m intimidating “I will keep pestering you until you do Maybe even throw rocks at your window i fI haveto.” Haiden rolls his bottom lip between his teeth and sucks before letting out a low rumbling chuckle. “You’rea 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 tenseform 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 adoubt laughing at me inside his corrupted head. Iexhaled a sharp breath that sounds like a n exaggerated groan of anger before finally spitting out thewords 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 rareand 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 thencontinued to make a mockery out of me. Yes I agree, saying you have herpes was a bit too much andlincalled 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 alaugh 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 toapologize He lifts a taunting brow. “Really? Because all I heard were your excuses and how I was the bad guy in allthis.” 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 stepback 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 verycomplex human being “Because Bella, I didn’t come here because I was afraid of the rumor. I came here because I was afraidof what I would do.”
