My Naughty Lover ✔️

Chapter 55

Scarlette's Pov

It's been a long day. I walk to the cafeteria with Liam by my side.

"But really, I can't believe this change." he says and I laugh,

"Why not?" I ask.

"Because, I have always pictured you as a shy and introvert person." he says. "You are looking different, indeed."

"I'm still the same, Liam. Just a bit more daring." I say, while smiling.

"Yes. I hope you don't change. I liked the older version of you, better." he says.

I didn't like it though. I felt like a coward and I was always silent. "Hmm." I say.

"I will always like you the way you are though, Scarl." he says and I nod. "By the way, where were you?" he asks.

"I was actually at my father's place in New York." I say and he looks confused. "My mother remarried and we moved to Canada with my stepfather. I was currently staying with them here. My biological father stays in New York." I tell him,

"Oh. So Steve is your stepfather." he states and I nod.

"But wait? You were currently staying with them?" he asks and I nod,

"Yes, I was."

We continue eating and I notice Katerine walking towards me,

"Hey bitch! Where were you?" she ask laughingly.

"Well hello to you too. And I was in New York." I say to her. She takes a seat next to Liam who seems to be quite hesitating.

"Oh my god, seriously??" she exclaims and I nod. "Wow, that explains your new style." she laughs.

"Oh yeah?" I ask and she replies,

"You got laid, huh?" she mocks.

"No, I didn't." I say calmly.

"Why are you dressing like us then?" she asks sarcastically and before I can answer, Liam interrupts,

"No, you're wrong. She isn't like you." he says to Katerine.

"Oh hey, Mr Cat Got Your Tongue." Katerine tells Liam who seems to be pissed off, suddenly.

"Katerine, I think your mouth is dry, maybe you should go drink something to chill, nah?" I say and she looks at me angrily before leaving with a hump.

"I'm sorry about her Liam." I say.

"It's cool." he says looking away.

"I swear, she isn't like that. I wonder what happened though." I say.

"Maybe you don't know her at all then." Liam says. "I'll be right back." he says while leaving.

What was that? What did he mean? Is Katerine angry with me? I find myself growing more curious. I suddenly notice Nico who also seems to be walking towards me.
He approaches my table and he takes a seat.

"Hey.." he says.

"Hey." I say.

"How are you doing?" he asks,

"I'm good. You?"

"I'm not fine." he says while looking down.

"Why not?" I fake a laugh.

"I'm so sorry, Scarlette. Please, come home." he says.

"No, instead thank you Nico. Because of you, I can finally live my life." I say.

"But, you have changed Scarlette." he argues. "Why are you dressing like that?" he asks.

"Hmm, so? Don't tell me you don't like seeing me in these." I say while revealing him some more skin on purpose. He looks at me with wide eyes and then suddenly looks away while blushing.

"Scarlette, you are being so different." he says.

"How's my mother?" I ask.

"She's still angry. She threw all your stuff." he says with nervousness.

"Hmm." is all I say. "Anyway, see ya later." I say while leaving him and making my way outside for some fresh air.

"Why do you think Beatrice is the complete opposite of Hero?" Mrs Jacob asks, "Anyone?"

I raise my hand.

"Yes, Miss Grey." the teacher says and I start my explanation,

"Hero is a very shy and timide character compared to Beatrice. Hero isn't much of a talker. She agrees of the idea of patriarchal society unlike Beatrice who represents dominance and power. She isn't afraid to voice out her thoughts and she is a very daring character." I say and the teacher nods, however someone interrupts me,

"I don't agree." Zac says from behind.

"Explain your thoughts, Mr Stones." the teacher says,

"Beatrice is very different from Hero because she loves being the one with more powers."

"That's not the case! She just wants equality between both genders."

"Well, she is so dumb that she always end up hurting Benedick ." he argues back.

"Well, maybe she wouldn't if Benedick wasn't such a jerk." I argue.

"Well, she did hurt him though. At the mascarade party." He says.

"Benedick wasn't nice to her at all! She did well."

"No, she thinks she's more powerful than a man." he says.

"Okay, Enough, both of you!" the teacher suddenly say, interrupting us. I look around and the whole class is looking at us with wide eyes.

"I'm sorry." I say to the teacher and the bell rings.

"Okay, the class is dismissed. Don't forget to do this assignment." Mrs Jacob says and leaves looking at me suspiciously.
