Torn Hearts

9. "Betrayal or Sacrifice?"

"It's been a while, Jayden Adley."

Jayden's narrowed eyes widened, his breathes becoming heavy.

"𝘈𝘭𝘦𝘹𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳?" His mouth spit out in shock.

"Yes, it's me. How are you, my dear nephew?" Alexander asked, coming over and hugging Jayden.

Jayden sighed irritatedly and pushed him away.

"What the hell is all this?" Jayden asked, glaring at him.

"Why are you so shocked? I'm the principal, kid." Alexander smirked. "What? Scared?"

"This scared kid can destroy you without you knowing." Jayden glared back, stepping closer to him.

"Hmm. Still the same rude kid?" Alexander kept on smirking.

"Worse than you think." Jayden smirked back. "Whatever tricks you're gonna play now, keep it in mind that," Jayden paused, stepping away from him and spreading his arms wide around himself, "The Great Wall of China is standing in your way."

"You being the principal is enough of a punishment for me, right? I'll go now." Jayden left, not before patting Alexander's cheeks.

"That annoying shit."

"Hey! Jayden! How did it go? You didn't create any mess, right?" Felix asked, as the both paced towards him as soon as they saw him.

"I didn't." Jayden flashed them a small smile.

"Than what did he say?" Fallon asked.

"He just warned me about not doing this again, nothing else." Jayden lied before starting to walk, followed by the others on his each side.

"So, you saw the Principal's face?" Felix asked excitedly.

"Of course." Jayden rolled his eyes.

"How did he look like?" Fallon asked, Jayden stopped at looked at her, his eyes and face showing no emotions.

"Not quite good to my taste." He stated coldly.

"Bruh! We ain't asking so we can set you up with him. How was he, leaving your taste?" Felix made a 'duh' face.

"NOT good looking at all. For me, it's hate at first sight." Jayden stated in anger and annoyance. "Bro. Believe me. It's a record of mine that I controlled my anger."

"It's all thanks to us." Fallon smiled.

Jayden's cold face lit up, as he returned the smile.

"Sure, now let's go back home." Jayden stated before he started to walk outside.

"Wait what? WAIT WHAT ABOUT THE CLASSES!?" Felix shouted, standing where they are.

"WE CAN ALWAYS COVER UP THE SYLLABUS LATER!" Jayden shouted back, not stopping.

"Why is he behaving like this again?" Fallon asked suspiciously.

"He's lying to us about the matter. We'll see that later, let's go now." Felix said, as they both walked outside.

It's 12am. They're still in their apartment.

Felix needed to talk to Fallon about something, so he texted her to see if she's awake and got the reply to come to her room.

Felix knocked on Fallon's room. The door opened, and as soon as it did, Felix's heart stopped.

"AHHH!!" He screamed and ran away.

He ran downstairs to the kitchen. He turned on the lights and found someone sitting on the dining table.

"Woah!" He nearly shouted again, but did anyways, as he realized who the person was. "Jayden!"
