Love Game With The Rebel Billionaire

Chapter 18: I Want You To Be Safe

"I should get out of here," I said as I ran out of the court and walked back home.

The past years felt like a breeze to me, but now... every day at school feels like years. The second semester hasn't ended yet, but I already feel so exhausted. But, why do I feel like someone's stalking me?

"Fuck, are they Ash's minions again?" I muttered as I tried to quicken my pace, and the person following me also did the same. "Relax, Sapphire. Relax." I tried to calm myself as I walked. My fear intensified, noticing I was alone in this place. I don't know where I'll run if something bad happens.

Being desperate to escape, I started to run, but before I could get far, that person grabbed my arm and turned me to face him.

"Help-" My words halted when I saw the person in front of me. "Mason?" I asked, my brows furrowing in confusion.

Mason was just staring at me while still holding my arm. He was still wearing his uniform.

"What are you doing here?" I asked, the shock still evident in my tone.

But at the same time, I was glad it was him. I thought it was a thief or someone who wanted to harm me.

"I'm sorry if I scared you," Mason apologized as he let go of my arm. He fixed his hair before avoiding my gaze. "I just wanted to ask if you're okay."

"I am," I replied, frowning. "Did you really follow me here just to ask me that?"

He nodded, making my mouth widened.

"It's dangerous around here, especially for rich people like you," I told him.

It was quiet now on the way to our house, but sometimes this place is chaotic. Sometimes, people are drinking around here, and I've even seen a few stabbings while walking home.

Aside from that, there are too many kidnappers here. They don't target me because, first of all, they wouldn't gain anything from me. Besides... they're afraid of me.
