Chapter 1- Aileen

It's already 6 am right now...... I got up from my bed stretching my arms

I was half asleep though

it's been one week since my dad got transferred to London for his work. I had to leave my school and friends, but I am still in contact with them

I looked out of the window and saw the sun was shining brightly

I got up from the bed and headed to the bathroom. I bathed and did my morning routine and wore my school uniform.

I checked my bag and all the other stuff.... I really didn't want to miss anything for the first day...

I got downstairs and saw my mom making our breakfast while dad was sitting on the dining table with his laptop....

I went towards my dad and back hugged him....same I did with my mom as well....

As I sat down my mom said "Aileen, can u do me a small favor?"

"What mom?" I asked looking at her hoping she wouldn't tell me to wake up my irritating brother....

"Can u go wake up Liam?please" my mom said...

I made a poker face and said "fine....."

I headed upstairs towards Liam's room...well he was sleeping like a pig.... I threw the plastic cap of his dried marker pen on his head...

He groaned in pain and barely opened his eyes and looked at me....half asleep

"Wake up pig!" I shouted at him

"5 minutes more please" Liam said as he threw the pillow at me for no reason

I was getting angry... I held his hand and jerked him awake.....I made him sit on his bed while I splashed cold water on his face.....

"Wake up stupid!" I again shouted....

"Tch....fine I am getting up!" said Liam while he stretched his arms....

I got down and saw my dad ready to drop me...and mom gave me an apple to have it on my way..... I grabbed the apple as my mom kissed my cheeks and got out with dad and sat on my dad's BMW...yep we are rich...🙂

My school was at least 10 miles away....I was eating my apple while I chatted with my bestie Evelyn....today my Evelyn and all the other students of my previous school were having a holiday... 😩

As we both reached the school....I saw so many students walking in groups..girls and boys both...they were laughing and chatting but stopped when they saw my dad's car.....

They started gossiping,, and I felt awkward.....

My dad saw me and asked if anything was wrong...... I shook my head in denial.....

My dad stopped the car in the entrance and I stood out.... I bid goodbye to my dad and walked inside ... I was excited but nervous too..... As I was climbing I saw a bunch of boys looking at me intensely...there was a boy in the middle who had white hair, tall and was looking at me with a smirk..... I ignored them as I kept climbing the stairs.... I entered the door.....and damn…it was huge......

I decided to go to the office to collect my schedule... I saw a girl in the hallway and I ran up to her...

"Excuse me...can u please direct me to the school's office?" I asked

The girl smiled and said "Yeah...it will be my pleasure...go straight and take a right turn…you will find the office"

"Thanks "I said and went to the office... I reached the office and was about to take my schedule when I saw the same bunch of boys entering the school...and.....shit they saw me!!!!!!

I took my schedule and ran to my class...

I went to my class..... I looked at the seats in the front row and saw they were all full....

I shifted my glance to the front row I saw the same girl...whom I met in the hallway and asked for directions .....

I went beside her

"Hey is this seat booked?" I asked pointing at the seat beside her.

"No no....do you want to sit here?" she asked…

"If u insist then I might" I said with a smile...

"Yes u can sit after all no one sits beside me" she said.

I sat down and tried to change the topic of the conversation…

"What's your name?" I asked

"Olivia Wilson...what's your name though?"

She said

"oh it's Aileen....Aileen cotter "I said

"Hi Aileen nice to meet u! Are u from London? You're new though..."

She asked

I smiled and said "nope... I am from Seattle...my dad just got transferred here, so I had to change my school"

"Looks like the teacher is late" said Olivia as she glanced in the direction of the board...

"Yeah......if u don't mind might I ask about your hobbies?"

I said

She looked at me and said …"yes...of course… I like to read books during my free time and play tennis"

I smiled..." Mine is the same as yours.....I have a whole room filled with books.......sometimes my dad gets irritated by looking at the number of books I have.......he has to buy it only....only after I do well in my studies...." I giggled

Olivia giggled too....

I felt someone watching me.... I turned around to find the same boys standing at the entrance....the boy with white hair was looking at the back and made an irritating face....

I looked back only to see a girl with her hair opened...sitting at the last bench with a smile.....

She was wearing a short skirt which was a little up from her knees....

I looked away

I suddenly realized that all the girls in the class were looking at the entrance... gossiping and giggling...

I didn't have the slightest clue why they behaved like that ....so I asked Olivia......she said that those boys were the hearthrobs and bullies of the school.....they all played for the school's basketball team...

Chapter 2-Aiden

I had already dressed up for my school... I got down as I saw my whole family having their breakfast..... everyone was quiet.....they hardly ever spoke since the argument my parents had...I looked at the clock and saw it was 6:30.... I walked towards the entrance but stopped when my mom called me...

"Aiden, won't u have your breakfast?"

"I am not feeling hungry mom" I said and got out of the house… I inhaled the air sharply....

It was a relief...as I got out of the house I felt like I just got out of hell.....

I walked towards my friends..... I had a grin on my face as they saw me......

They all looked at me and gestured for me to come fast… Looks like they were in the mood to ruin someone's day today....

I can sense the mischief that they had in their eyes......

On either side of the road I saw the popular cheerleader of our school...she always cheered for me during my basketball matches...

Her friends were pointing at me while she just blushed.....as far as I remember her name was… Anne Thompson....

Well.... I saw her looking at me and I gave a sweet fake smile, and she blushed heavily......

I looked back at my friends who were also looking at her... They also smiled as all the girls looked away while they blushed.....

Honestly this is irritating...very much....

I saw my favorite bookstore was opened by now, so I got inside...there were still 30 minutes for the school to start.... I was going through the books, but none piqued my interest

I left the store and again joined my friends who had been waiting for me outside

They weren't such book lovers like me....so they preferred staying out.....

Ajax, my friend saw me and came to me and started walking with me...

"So bookworm.... didn't get a book?" he asked

"yeah...same old books...none piqued my interest" I replied

After 5 minutes of walking we reached the school.....me and the boys gathered near the tree just beside the stairs where we usually sit before the school starts......

Basically we sit there just to find our new prey......

I saw the Anne entering.... I made a disgusted face and looked away from her…so she didn't have a chance to glance at my face

From the corner of my eyes I saw a big BMW car standing in front of the school gates...

I saw a girl stepping out of the car.....she waved the driver goodbye and started climbing the stares.....

This girl was beautiful, she had a perfect body....her curves were just perfect like she was the definition of perfection......a true goddess.... Wait wait wait what the hell are u thinking Aiden?!!!!

I saw my boys looking at her intensely with desire in their eyes..... I saw her looking at us as I looked at her and smirked.......but my smirk faded as she ignored us and walked away…

Even my single glance would make the girls crazy....they all wished to have me as their boyfriend.....but this girl...she didn't even care?!

"new Student huh?" I thought....

"Looks like that girl is new here" said Ajax

"Well yeah....guess what?" said William

"what?" asked Mark

"she is our new victim"...... I said as I got down and headed towards the school gates and entered inside...the girls watched me and the boys intensely........

After entering the hall I saw her again........I had a closer look

She was indeed beautiful.....she was tapping her nails while she was waiting for her schedule.....soon she saw us and took the schedule and ran away.....

I chuckled...so did the boys...

We headed to our class...our teacher was late...I was about to go take my seat when I saw the same girl sitting in the middle row with Olivia....the girl whom Ajax bullied a week ago...and made her a crying mess....

I kept looking at her ....I looked away and started at my place from the entrance.... I saw that Anne was sitting beside my seat....damn it!!!

I realized that girl was looking at me.....I looked a I her direction...she asked Olivia out of confusion....

I chuckled seeing her confused face....I went towards my seat...before going I asked William to sit in my place so that I don't have to sit with that cheerleader....

As William sat down in my seat beside Anne.....she made an annoying face......she kept looking at me as I sat down in the third last bench.....

I kept looking at the girl beside Olivia.....she looks so cute and vulnerable...an easy prey....

I had a smirk on my face. I waited for the teacher to enter as I would get to know that girl's name...

The teacher entered, and we greeted him......soon he said…

"Class today we are having a new student.... Her name is Aileen cotter...she was the top ranker of her previous school...please be nice to her and be friends… That's all...."

He was grumpy as always.... I smirked knowing her name...top ranker... I chuckled

"So she is a nerd!" Ajax said to me in a low voice....

I replied in a 'hmm' and slightly nodded my head....

The girls at the back were talking about me.....girls usually sit on the back and the reason is me...

Olivia was the only one who preferred to keep herself away from me and the boys and now this new girl...... Aileen Cotter…

Nice name indeed....

I was waiting for lunchtime.... I kept looking at Aileen and kept Smirking....

I noticed that she had a few short glances at me..... I chuckled seeing her fixing her skirt every time she looked at me......

The moment the bell rings.... I will be ready to prey on her...like a Tiger on its prey....

I kept grinning and Ajax noticed too

"u seem to be quite interested in her."

He said with a smirk

"Nah.....she is a good prey... I would love to annoy her, disturb her....."

I replied....I smirked as I heard the bell rang......little did I realize Anne was not happy at all.....

She was jealous and she noticed me looking at Aileen all the time....

Chapter 3-Aileen

I saw that boy going towards his seat and sitting down...... I turned to Olivia and asked....

"What is his name?"

"Aiden Lewis...the son of the mayor and popular within the girls....and that red haired brat beside him is Ajax.Ajax Wilson .....the son of the richest businessman in the whole UK...those guys are awful.." Olivia said this as she sighed...

"Did that Ajax bully u?" I asked

"yeah he did....and I cried a lot... I was humiliated in front of the whole school…that day was the worst day of my life..." said Olivia

"Sorry for asking that...... I didn't mean to get your painful memories back to u." I said

"Oh please don't be....after all it's not your fault." she reassured me

The teacher entered the class...we all stood up and greeted him....

He introduced me to the class in a grumpy mood....

As I sat down I realized That Aiden was looking at me ..... I was getting nervous.... I fixed my skirt...

As the lecture went on I saw Aiden looking at me all the time with a smirk on his face.....his eyes went up and down my body, and it was making me uncomfortable

I decided to ignore him.....

After the long class we had our lunch break.....for a while I saw the girl sitting on the last bench...who was sitting two benches farther from Aiden glaring at me.....

I made a confused face as I kept my belongings safely in my bag and kept it on my chair and I went out...... I walked beside Olivia....

I still noticed that Aiden and Ajax were looking at me....not only them

The girl who was glaring at me and all the boys who I saw in the morning while climbing the stairs...they were all looking at me...

Olivia noticed too....she said...

"Looks like they found their next target!"

"What do u mean?who is it?" I asked…

"You..." she said looking at me

"W-w-what?" I asked

"Don't worry...just ignore them each time they try to bother you!!"

"O-okay "I said on hearing Olivia's advice....

We reached the cafeteria...my god! It was huge.....

We took our meals and sat on a table along with it....

We were eating and chatting....soon we saw all the girls (except us) gathering near the cafeteria's entrance.....

All giggling and gossiping and kept huge smiles.....

"Have they seen ghost?" I asked Olivia

"No...their Greek god" said Olivia looking at them

"Greek god?" I asked out of confusion...

"Aiden and his team....silly" she said

"oh..... I got it "

I said and focused on my meal and kept talking about different things with Olivia...

I saw Aiden and his team entering..... Aiden's eyes kept wandering as they stopped when they landed on mine.....

He smirked and I choked on my food

He chuckled seeing me choke.... I drank the glass of water that Olivia gave me .

All of a Sudden Aiden sat beside me..... I was about to go, but he pulled my hand to make me sit.....

His whole team gathered around me and sat there near me.....

Ajax roughly patted Olivia's head and asked

her to go..... She wasn't willing to go, but Ajax threatened her, so she had too....

Aiden said "your name is Aileen cotter right?" he asked as he touched my cheeks...

I backed away, but I saw Ajax just behind me...

I said "Are u deaf? Couldn't u hear my name when the teacher was saying? Or were you just not paying attention?" I asked

Aiden's eyes widened and he chuckled...

"So much arrogance doesn't suit you, my sweet" he said

"Excuse me?! What the hell did u just call me?!" I said as I was annoyed by the way he addressed me....

"Are u deaf? Couldn't u hear when I said it? Or were u just not paying attention?" he repeated my sentence and smirked.... I was getting more annoyed.....he is getting on my nerves

I was sitting in the middle of the whole group as all the girls watched me with their hateful stares....

"You know what you're wasting my time......" I said as I got up.but I saw as I was surrounded by the whole group in such manner that it was impossible for me to go...

Aiden smirked...... "Don't find anywhere to go....? Don't worry u can stay right here...." he said and pulled my hand to make me sit...

"U see…these girls think you're the luckiest girl as you're surrounded by the most beautiful and handsome boys on the whole school" he said as he caresses my hand....I pulled my hand away, and I crawled under the table and got up, and I went to the washroom...leaving those boys dumbfounded

Author POV

Aiden and Ajax's mouth were wide open as they saw what u did....... Aiden decided to follow you, but the group got surrounded by girls .......

Aiden felt irritated....

He wanted to follow u and annoy you....

**back to Aileen's POV**

I reached the washroom as I washed my hands and face....

That Aiden was a real jerk... I wanted to punch hIm for the way he addressed me as "my sweet" ugh! ....

I was getting furious....

"Annoying Idiot" i mumbled...

"Hey are you ok?" I heard a voice...it was Olivia

"Yeah...." I replied

"See... I am sorry for not being there with u... I didn't have a choice" she apologized

"Hey it's not your fault...they are the jerks not u" I added "I didn't know I would get such an amazing friend like u on the very first day...who would start caring for me.....you're just like Evelyn..."

"Evelyn?" she asked

"Oh...she is my best friend...my childhood best friend....the sweetheart...but her boyfriend is a bit irritating..." "Anyway let's go...or else we might get late" I said and both went out.....

As we entered the class we saw Aiden still looking at me...he had a victorious smirk on his face....I ignored him and sat on my seat....as I opened my bag..I saw my phone was missing!

I panicked ......I felt like looking at Aiden's direction....I saw him playing with my phone like a baby's toy....I cursed him internally.....

I waited for my class to end so that I can get my phone back....
