Am I supposed to always act like I don't care? I do. I do care, sometimes. The rest of the time, I am an asshole. A cute one.

First period was English, with Mrs Julia.

I wasn't paying attention. I kept watching Aiden, trying to see what I could find out about his secret relationship with god knows who.

He had received two texts during class, and he was very secretive about replying to them. I couldn't see the number or what the texts had said.

He was keeping secrets from me. And that did not go down well with me.

I decided to keep my own secrets from Aiden too. If he was cheating on me, and having the time of his life, why should I be the one to suffer? If word got out that he was cheating on me then that would be totally ugly. However, if word got out that I was cheating on him then that would be both good for my image and good for Aiden.

Well.

All I needed was someone willing enough, daring enough to take Aiden's place. Someone who knew exactly what he was doing, or someone who didn't know what was going on at all.

I needed someone who would look good in the light.

Mr Adams.

Why not? He was young, handsome, and he had just been through a tough breakup. To me, he seemed like the perfect man for the job.

And who knows, maybe we'll both get something good out of this.

I knew he was cheating on me. There was no doubt. I just had to find out who the other lucky girl was.

The school bell rang and I made my way to my locker to put away my things.
