Chloe was sitting in the library with the three of her friends. They were all in this school on scholarship. They all came from the almost same background, so they felt comfortable with one another.
"Oh my god! Have you guys seen the new girl? She is so pretty. I heard her father is an oil tycoon." Diana said, paying no attention to the notebook before her.
"I saw Ace Harding and her getting cozy in the hallways. She has been here for four days and she already has his attention" Fawn mumbled, jealous. She had the biggest crush on Ace and she didn't even try to hide it.
"I wonder what Ella has to say about it. I'm pretty sure Ace and Ella are fucking and they are not as discreet as think they are." Theo laughed. "They think no one sees them frequenting the janitor's closet"
Fawn flipped her hair back. "I even heard that Ella the blond bimbo slept with every guy in the football team. She must have slept with Ace too" she shrugged.
"Guys, it's their life, we shouldn't gossip about others. Ella is a nice girl and she is my friend." Chloe mumbled
"Ella is nice?!" Fawn said sarcastically. "She is horrible. She acts like she owns this school"
"How can you say that, Fawn? You don't even know her. I know her personally and trust me half of the things you guys hear about her are just rumors. She is genuinely nice." Chloe said
Fawn was about to say something when Theo cut her off. "If Chloe says she's nice then maybe she is. And Chloe is right we don't know her personally and we shouldn't gossip" He said and smiled at Chloe.
"Of course, you'll take her side" Fawn mumbled annoyedly. She picked up her stuff and stomped out of the library.
Theo gestured for Diana to leave as well. She nodded and picked up her stuff.
"Where are you going?" Chloe asked
"I'm gonna go, check up on Fawn. You know how she is when she is angry." She made up an excuse and trotted out of the library, leaving Theo and Chloe alone.
They studied a bit more and then Chloe checked the time on her cellphone. "I should go"
She had to go meet Axel at the back of the school, so, they could leave for Ace's penthouse.
"Chloe, wait," Theo said and held her hand.
Theo was a sweet guy. He was not very confident. His heart raced and he could feel his cheeks getting red. He gripped onto her hand as he tried to breathe slowly and told himself to calm down.
"Chloe... I need to tell you something" he croaked out with difficulty. With his forefinger, he pushed back his glasses as they kept slipping down.
Chloe eyed her hand in his and then back at his face. She knew what he was about to say. She knew about it for a while now that's why she refrained from being alone with him or she'd make up an excuse and run away from the scene. But now, alone in the library with her hand in his grip, she knew she had to finally listen to what he has to say.
