Selfie Trauma

Chapter 3

Sorry for the late update. I was experiencing serious writer's block plus school resuming and all but I'm going to update as frequently as possible.

Scarlet's POV

Two years in college without any issues except of course, boys constantly asking me out especially the players.

Guys, I know right.

"Hey,bitch hole"a familiar voice said from beside my locker, when I was getting my books for my next class.

"That isn't even a thing, Summer"I said, closing my locker.

Lately, she has been bugging me. Although, I don't get why.

"Yea, yea. I just wanted to warn you to stay off my Aiden"she said with one hand on her hip and the other pointing at me.

Aiden was Summer's boyfriend from Britain. He was the bad boy of the school. Before he started dating Summer, he partied hard and has made out with almost every girl in school. Except me. A short description of him: green catlike eyes, 6'2 feet tall, cute British accent, bulging muscles, skin like silk,lips as pink as....

"Hey. Earth to Scar"I flinched when I found myself thinking about someone else's boyfriend but I tried concealing it.

"Scar? What kind of nickname is that?"I said, my mind registering the fact that she called me 'Scar'.

"The kind I'll give you"she said lowering her voice, "since that's what I'm going to do to you anyway".

She suddenly stiffened and started battering her eyes innocently at me.

"Scar, are you sure you are ok?"she said, weirdly staring longingly behind me.

"What the fu..."I cursed.

"Aid baby. How are you?"she said when the person behind me appeared.

Aiden.

Omg. Aiden was in front of me. I was about to talk to him but then Summer put her lips on his and they started making out.

Right here. In the hall. In front of me.

Gross.

"That's my cue to leave"I said awkwardly and I noticed Aiden smirk on Summer's lips. I was about to leave when he pulled out, leaving Summer panting with swollen lips.

"Hey, cute eyes. I never got your name"Aiden said, with his cute British accent. I blushed, but luckily my back was facing them so they couldn't see my face.

"It's Scar"I noticed I used the stupid name Summer gave me, "Scarlet Walker"I said and ran off.

My first class was Chemistry. Aiden and I were in the same class for the first period.

Alicia didn't come to school today because she had to attend a cousin's wedding and she was one of her bridesmaids so she had to leave earlier.

Sterling was sitting was sitting with her boyfriend, Matthew. I waved at them when I got into the class. I saw Kyler at the back seat, flirting with a girl who was blushing profusely.

Kyler and Alicia had called things off after one year of dating when Alicia said that Kyler was 'embarrassed' of having her as his girlfriend but they were still friends. Although not as close as before. So here I was, in the Chemistry lab, with no partner.

Ten minutes into the class, a sweaty Aiden came running into the class with his bag hanging casually on one shoulder.

"Mr Jackson, where the hell are you coming from? And why are you ten minutes late to my class?"Mr Carter, our Chemistry teacher, said emphasising on Aidan's last name.

I held in a laughter but couldn't help but snort. Aiden's last name was Jackson. How ironic. All the Jacksons I ever knew were either nerds or nice or both.

"I'm sorry, Mr Cart. I was busy. It won't repeat itself again"Aiden said, giving Mr Carter a genuine smile.

It was so beautiful that I didn't notice Aiden plop himself on the chair beside me until I heard his voice.

"Hey, cute eyes. We meet again"he said and winked at me and like the idiot I am, I started blushing.

"Hi, Aiden" I said and he nodded and concentrated on what Mr Carter was saying but I could see him sparing me glances from the corner of my eyes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Yo, cute eyes. Cute eyes!! Wait up!!!"someone yelled from behind me after we finished classes for the day.

I stopped knowing who was calling me without turning around. Aiden came in front of me, barely panting. I crossed my arms and glared at him.

"What? Why are you glaring at me as if I took your bra out of your closet?"he said, grinning widely.

I rolled my eyes and said "I appreciate your compliments on my eyes but my name is Scarlet not cute eyes" I actually love his nickname for me but I wanted him to know that I was affected by his charms.

I silently hoped he wouldn't listen to me and keep calling me that. I mean it's not every time you get complimented on your eyes, especially from a popular cute boy.

"Calm down, cute eyes" I sighed loudly but was jumping inside, "I was thinking, since you are good with this Chemistry stuff, if you could tutor me a bit. Like I can could come to your house and I don't know.

I raised an eyebrow, "You want me to tutor you?"

He also raised an eyebrow, "Did I stutter?"

"You see. If you want me to tutor you, you have to be nice to me. Understood?"I shot back.

"Yea, whatever. So your number?" I raised an eyebrow, "So I can call you for your address and ask for directions"he continued in a duh voice.

I gave him my number and went to my car. Actually my brother, Jason bought a car for me a year after he finished college and got a job as an accountant in a big business organization. He is such a sweetheart and he earns quite a lot from his work.

I would have updated earlier but I had to babysit a little boy. When I was feeding him and writing this chapter, he spilled his water all over and I had to start cleaning. I guess he was annoyed that I wasn't paying attention to him so I had to wait to be alone before I started writing 😂😂
Don't worry 😉 I'll give you guys a double update. Next chapter coming up immediately.
Vote, share and comment ❤️❤️❤️
