Known Strangers

Chapter Five - Dealing with Dick Banner

Aiden's POV

I checked my phone and it was 7:02am. I was at school sitting outside on one of the benches. I can't believe what I just found out. God.... What am I going to do.

It appears that that girl who beat up Nick was Bell Narkasell.

What kind of name is that. What a weirdo

And Bell lives with Alex and Brett, Nick's old enemies. I thought they've given up but now a new rival is here.

And Bell also lives with Her...
Nick wants to act on anyone close to Bell to get revenge but I can't let him touch her... How am I going to hide this information from him?

Then out of nowhere Nick comes to sit in front of me, startling me.

"Bro so what did you find out?" He asks me.

"Well, her name's Bell"

"What kind of freak ass name is that?"

"That's what everyone's saying, she lives with the Ryan's" I said and Nick's eyes widen and he laughs

"The Ryan's again. Damn... I thought when Brett graduated Alex stopped, but now I guess he has another partner" He says

"Well you can get your revenge on Alex" I said hoping he doesn't ask of Her.

"The Ryan's... God I hate those people, Don't they have a girl? What's her name....?"

"Leave her out of this, Alex and Bell are the ones you want" I said getting a little protective.

Then a movement caught our eyes, Cassie passes us and runs into the school.

What happened?

I continued starring at the door she just passed

"Speak of the devil." Nick says and looks at me "Woah Aiden, for a second it sounded like you were trying to protect her. Is something going on that I should know" he says.

"What? No. Nothing's going on. Cassie is useless. She's a bitch, always unstable. You don't even need to waste your time on her. She's nothing" I said

"Whatever. Let's go over our plan" he says.

Bell's POV

Its now Tuesday. I got dressed. I was putting on a knitted sweater, jeans and ankle boots. I decided to wear jeans today after Cassie forced me to put it on yesterday. I brushed my hair and put it in a ponytail. I walked out of my room and I came face to face with Alex's door.

God.... i hate that we're fighting I don't want to keep a grudge, I have to settle things with him.

I opened the door and walked in. I looked at his room but he wasn't in there, I noticed he was under the covers on his bed. He's still asleep??.

I walked over to the bed and removed the covers. And I couldn't believe my eyes.

I screamed.

My hands immediately flew to my eyes. I was still screaming and I was backing away and suddenly a hand grabbed me from behind and turned me around.

"Bell, what happened" I heard Alex's voice. I didn't reply my hands were still over my eyes.

"Arghh, come on Bell" He said removing my hands from my face.

"She's naked." I said not even bothering to turn around to look back at the sleeping naked girl that was previously under his covers to check if I woke her up.

"So?" He asked smirking

"Gross" I said and turned towards the sleeping naked girl, I averted my eyes and walked over to the bed and shook her until she woke.
