Facade

Chapter 2

Mia's pov

Karen pulled the car into her private parking spot. Yes you heard me. Karen has her own parking spot. Perks of being head cheerleader. She's so popular that people practically worship her. They hang on to every word she says as if she's the president. Karen got out of the car and was immediately surrounded by a crowd of adoring fans. She smiled and giggled at them but I could tell its all an act. Her fists were clenched together at her side. Each person eager to talk to her. I opened my door and came out of the car. Unlike Karen, no one noticed me which is great in my opinion. I hate attention. I pushed my way through the crowd of adoring fans and made my way into school, heading straight to my locker. I sighted a figure leaning against my locker. My boyfriend Aiden and my one true joy. My lips curved into a smile. He opened his arms and I walked into his embrace. He hugged me tight and I leaned into him inhaling his muscular scent. I withdrew from his embrace and raised my lips to his. The kiss was as breathtaking as it has always been. My head was soon lost in the kiss though it was short. Absolutely normal when it comes to Aiden and I.
"Miss me princess?" Aiden smirked at me. I lowered my head down to hide my burning cheeks.
"Look at me princess, miss me?" His breath fanned my face and his scent was enough to make me dizzy. I nodded in response. My tongue was tied. He chuckled at my behavior and said. "Come on, let's get to class. Don't want you to be late and get detention"
I nodded and turned to my locker. I entered the code and opened it. I took out my trig textbook. I closed the locker and turned to Aiden
"Okay let's go"
He put his arm around my waist and walked me to class. When we got to the entrance of my class, he kissed me and left. I put down my head and quickly walked to my seat. As usual, there were whispers about Aiden and I's relationship. People never really believed he loved me. Some of them thought he was using me for sex. After two years of dating, the whispers has reduced but people still talked. Though I'm still a virgin but no one needs to know that. I told Aiden I wasn't ready and he agreed to wait for me. For that, I loved him unconditionally. Few minutes later, the teacher, Mr Cole walked in.
"Open your textbooks to page fourteen. Today we will study....... " I blanked out as he kept droning on and on about some shit. I couldn't care less about what he's talking about. After all I had aced his last test. The sound of the bell broke me away from my thoughts. I closed my textbook and stood up. I walked quickly out of the class ignoring Mr Cole's reminder about a test next week. Aiden was waiting for me at the door. I walked up to him immediately I saw him. He pulled me into his arms and gave me a soft kiss on the cheek.
"Hey, how was class?" He asked softly. I linked our fingers together as we walked down the hall. The crowd parted as we walked through. Obviously due to Aiden's popularity. Aiden was the captain of the football team. So he was extremely popular. Everyone respected him and no one dared to piss him off. The last person who picked up a fight with him was expelled. Aiden's parents are extremely rich and they completely adore him. They spoil him a lot. Whether it's cars, money, a vacation overseas, anything you can think of. They donate a lot of money to the school so the principal and teachers do anything to please Aiden.
Aiden and I walked hand in hand to the cafeteria. I walked about joining the line but Aiden pulled me forward, cutting through the line. People stared and whispered but no one dared to challenge him. I felt uncomfortable at the attention and subtly hid myself behind Aiden's broad back. Aiden ordered for the both of us. He collected the tray and led us to his usual table. Though I secretly refer to it as the popularity table. His friends were seated there already. Only two chairs were empty. Aiden pulled back a chair for me and I sat down, smiling at him in thanks. He took the last chair which was fortunately next to me.
"Hey guys" I greeted them all.
Cameron, Aiden's bestfriend was the first to respond to me.
"Hey Mia, how you doing? Aiden treating you right? When you get tired of this idiot, I'll be waiting" he said with a flirty smile on his face. The others chuckled while I rolled my eyes at him. I heard him scream and saw him rubbing the back of his head. Seems Aiden hit him. Hmm serves him right. Blake another of Aiden's friends smiled at me and said
"Oh come on Mia, Aiden and Cam are idiots. I'm a real man. How about you ditch Aiden and come spend the weekend at my house?" he winked at me. Aiden cursed and was about punching him when he took off running with Aiden in pursuit. I just smiled. I wasn't bothered about their flirting. Ever since I started dating Aiden, they've always flirted with me. At first I used to blush silly but now I've gotten so used to it that it doesn't bother me anymore. Though I can't say the same for Aiden. He hates it every single time and I have to spend hours reassuring him that I love only him and will never leave him. Talk about insecurities. My phone beeped alerting me of a text message. I pulled it out to see it was from Karen.
   "Code red" it said. I felt someone touch me on my shoulder and looked up to see Aiden and Blake had returned. Blake was sporting a small bruise on his upper lip. I quickly stood up and discarded my lunch. Aiden raised a brow at me questioningly and I showed him the text from Karen. He rolled his eyes at our obvious girl code. I kissed him quickly and ran out of the cafeteria heading to the parking lot. I spotted Karen waving at me in her car. I got in the passenger seat and Karen peeled off the parking lot. She was driving like a professional racer. Dodging through cars like nobody's business.
"Karen what's going on? What's the emergency?" I asked anxious at the way she was driving. She sped passed another car before she replied.
"Mum called. They are coming home earlier than expected. We have to get you home to do all the chores or you know what will happen."
My heart thudded in my chest. Oh shit. Dracula one and Dracula two are on their way home. If I don't finish the chores before they get there, who knows what they'll do to me. I forced myself to relax while I silently thanked Karen. Who knows what I would have done if she hadn't told me?
