Layla’s pov

I’m tongue-tied. I’ve been avoiding him as best as I could. And now, he found me.

He stops in front of everyone, and they’re watching him like a hawk as he stares at my locker with his jaw ticking.

His back is rigid and by the waves that rolled off him, I knew he was furious.

Despite Karen flinching at Tyler’s words, she still held her chin up seconds later, her face masked with a blank stare.

Karen turns to shoot furious irritated daggers my way. I’m unflinching and quite entertained that she was acting all innocent when it was clear she’d stoop however low she can to get what she wants.

And she wants Tyler, which was pretty obvious to everyone who had eyes and ears.

“I don’t waste my time on a nobody like you! What do you think I would gain by doing something like that to you Layla? It’s not like no one knows you’re a whore!” She yells angrily.
