Kathrina POV 'Stay away from Hayden', the words of that dipshit, Rylan kept ringing in my head after I returned from school. 'i will taunt you,' those were the words that shockingly frightened me. The fright I had hearing those words was incomparable to the minor frights I had on two occasions when I was threatened by some senior bullies in the school I went in Hog town. Gram was always coaching me and braving me to face them and that's why mostimes after I had been bullied three times, I showed no fright by their threats. And the bullying totally ceased when they finally came to realize that I was the granddaughter of the town's old,bad-tempered,Abigail Ratchford, my gram.But this time it was different. My gram was no more and Rylan is totally different from the past guys I had faced in Tame town. The tingling sensation I had actually felt for the second time he touched me was odd too. "Where you after lunch break?" Lita had actually asked me while we went home earlier."Did y

Rylan POVI Couldn't help but smile in amusement just by seeing the shocked look on Kathrina's face. I really stunned her with my unbelievable appearance. I had actually got the news of Hayden coming over for dinner earlier today from Morley. So, I asked if I could drop by also and he accepted. Morley and I are quite close. We've actually been before I had stopped coming to school after my brother's death."This dipshit, Rylan isn't entering and joining us for dinner," Kathrina strongly told Morley, still staring at me with hate. And sincerely speaking, if looks could kill, I would have been six feet under. I shoved the urge to chide her for addressing me as 'dipshit'. I bet that won't change if I speak against it. "Got it, Morley?" Morley didn't answer.She spun and said to him almost in a whisper."You heard me, right?""Move aside, Kathrina do Rylan can get in…""I guess you never told mom or dad that you were inviting a jerk over tonight…""Kathrina," a mild voice cut in and a m

Kathrina POV"Goodness, that was too much, girl." Lita sighed. I had told her how the dinner on Friday had turned out with Rylan's shocking appearance and how she had unintentionally ended up slapping Morley.We were making our way into the school building. "I really didn't mean to. It's all Rylan's fault. But I'm glad I settled things with Morley the next morning." Lita smiled."Did he apologize?" She blinked twice, showing her curiosity."Kind of.""Do your parents or Monna know about what Morley went through?""No. And Morley said I should keep it a secret. So don't blurt it out to Monna.""Hey, I'm not a blabber mouth, okay?" I nodded."You are," I whispered-snickered. She slapped my butt lightly and frowned, feigning annoyance."If I really was then Morley would have told you not to tell me.""He believes I won't, so he didn't.""Sour liar." she rolled her eyes as we took a sharp left and merged with the heavy flow of student traffic. It was usually how it goes on a Monday morni

Kathrina POVWalking into the locker room the next morning filled with other girls grabbing out their class books from their lockers. Taking out my textbooks from my locker for the first two classes this morning, I glanced at three girls who walked in, making some girls In the locker room gasp as they walked up to me.I closed my locker and turned to face them. They stared at me disgustingly and I exhaled as I took a step to leave the room but one of the girls blocked my way. I tried taking another way but another girl stepped out, blocking the way. "Who are you girls?" I asked."I'm Lilly," the girl with golden curly hair said."I am Summer," the girl with pink hair snapped at me."And I'm Ginger," the third girl introduced.They leaned forward and said almost in a whisper. "And…we are going to be your nightmare."I opened my mouth to talk and just then, Trixie walked in, making all the girls in the locker room start leaving, murmuring. I stared at Trixie. Her now red dyed hair was

Kathrina POV The next day in school, I put my locker combination to unlock my locker, glancing at the last set of girls who rushed out from the room. I was already five minute late for the first period glass. If only I had hopped into my dad's pickup truck this morning alongside Monna and Morley instead of lying that I needed to use the toilet so as to go back to my room, change my lipstick shade to rosy orange in order to look a bit different in front of Hayden today then I wouldn't have to ran down to school after Morley's bike failed to work. He had actually activated a bike lock on the bike.What could be more of a morning bad news than when I saw Hayden's text this morning. He said he wasn't going to be in school today. Ragefully opening my locker to grab my textbook for the first period, I squinted at the pristine red paper folded in half sitting on my English textbook. What was it? Who kept it here? I didn't see this yesterday.I took it and felt the rough texture of the pap
