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.

“There’s nothing to see here.” He growled in anger and looked at everyone around. “Walk away.” He barked, his face red with anger.

Everyone scurried away except for Tiffany, Karen and her posse, and me.

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.
