Bailey's pov

I could have turned around and walked away, but I chose to stay. Not

only because I was too proud but because Mira had already seen me

and waved at me. Walking away would have just led her to question

me.

I mustered up a small smile as the three approached. I of course, kept

my gaze only on Mira, avoiding the other two. I could feel his gaze

piercing through me and squirmed.

" Good morning," Mira chirped throwing her hands around both Katrina

and me. I smiled but made a mistake by looking over. My eyes fell in

his and the smile wipes off my face.

He's glaring at me like I had stepped on his foot.

I tore my eyes away but they fell on her. She stood close to him as

though she already claimed him as hers. I could not help but feel bitter.

Mira pulled away and turned around. "Remember Juliet guys?"

Juliet was always pretty in middle school, the most beautiful and

popular girl. With her auburn hair, brown eyes and pretty features she

really was strikingly gorgeous. It is no wonder after she left Kaleb went

into a depression and slept around with the entire female population.

Sadly I was now one of them.

Juliet's lips were painted red and her eyes sparkled innocently as she

brushed her hand down her flowery dress that stopped mid thigh.

I wanted to snort. Everyone always thought Juliet was innocent

because the girl was very talented enough to hide her true vile

personality. Either her acting skills grew or, she really had changed.

She smiled, her eyes dancing from Katrina and me happily. " I

remember you two," her eyes flicker back to me. " Especially you

Bailey."

Of course you did, you picked on me for having freckles on my nose.

I forced a tight smile, trying to hide the sourness I truly felt. "Yes, I

remember you too, Juliet," I replied, my voice carrying a polite tone

despite my annoyance.

Her grin widened and I wince. " I may be tagging along your little clique

for a while. Dad made Kaleb promise to stay by my side and show me

around.” She chirped and my eyes drop to her hand that snuck around

Kaleb's to hold.

Having enough, I decided to not torture myself. * Well I'll catch up with

you guys later, I have an exam to study for." I lied, turning around to

leave.

" Want us to come with?" Mira questioned behind me.

"No," I rushed out. I really just needed to be alone. I turned around,

walking backwards as I smiled forcefully at Mira. " You know I like to

study alone. I'll be in the library."

Mira's brows furrowed in concern. She must think I really do want to

study to pass Kaleb in the exam.

" Ooph sorry," I apologized to a boy I backed into and turn around to

enter the building.

I know I acted strange but hopefully Mira and Katrina can spare me

some space to think alone.

I did end up in the library after all, but not to study like I had originally

said I would. I was reading....one of my mom's books I had “borrowed’.

Mom had a collection of books and I was always intrigued, though she

warned me that they were not for girls my age.

Even though the warning rang in my head, I brushed my hand over the

cover. It looked like it had aged a bit, she must've had this one for a

while.

I flipped it open, my body buzzing with excitement. This one had a

pretty cover and description so I couldn't wait to delve into their world.

At least for now it would distract me from thoughts of Kaleb. It will,

right?

I gnawed on my lips, shifting me my chair as I glanced around the

library. I was the only one here, tucked in the furthest corner where no

one usually wandered to. Huge ancient history books surrounded me

on the shelves, something my generation cared little for, so they would

never step foot here.

A little window a couple feet above my head was the only light source I

had. It was okay, it created a cozy atmosphere that made me feel a bit

calm.

Tucking some hair behind my ear, my eyes fall to the cream colored

paper, my gaze dancing on the small black words as I begin to read.

And he thrust into her core, pumping his length until she could only feel

him. A breathless moan escapes her lips. The tantalizing sound

sending pleasurable shock waves through his body. Her hips rocked

bringing him further into her until-

I gasp, my cheeks burning instantly as I take in the words.

No wonder mom tried to keep this one away from me! It was strictly

erotica.

I squirmed in my sit as though someone would see me reading

something so naughty, biting my lip as I continued to read on.

Suddenly the book was tugged out of my hold. I lift my head, ready to

tell whoever was foolish enough to grab my book, but the words die on

my tongue and I stay frozen, my heart leaping in my throat when my

eyes connect with blue swirls.

They stared at my book and they scanned the words.

I am mortified when he reads it out loud, his lips curving into a smirk

while he do so, a brow arched. "And he thrust into her core, pumping

his length-"

He stops, his eyes slowly lifting to mine. His smirk widen and he tsked.

" Now flower, this does not look like studying.”

I blushed furiously and stood up, trying to reach for the book but he

pulls it away and grab my hand. “ What the hell Sam, give it back." I

snapped, flustered and embarrassed.

His eyes pinned me down and within a flash he was now beside me,

turning me in a way to pin me against the table. I gasped as he presses

himself against me, his hands now on either side of me, caging me in.

His eyes fall to my lips and he leaned in but curved his mouth to my ear

while he breathed. " I can do a way better job than Raven." One of his

hand tickle up my thigh.

I wore a skirt today so it would be so easy for him to-

I gasped when he nipped my earlobe, shuddering. “ And you've been a

very naughty girl flower, so I may just punish you like he did her."
