STEPBROTHER (R-18)

Scarletts P.O.V

When Monday rolls around, you're in school you're sitting in Chem. Nervousness sets in as Jayden moves his eyes over you. You just want to run and hide after last night. Part of you is excited at the way Oliver claimed you, but also annoyed because he embarrassed you and made Jayden feel badly.

I'm allowed to hangout and flirt with whoever I want. Its none if Oliver's business.

You look back at Jayden who waves you over to him. You glance at the front of the room, aware that Mr. Jud hasn't come in yet. You rise, grabbing your things and walking over to him before sitting in the vacant seat to his right.

"Hey."

"Hey..."

You run your fingers through your hair, and clear your throat, before you attempt to fill the silence.

He shakes his head, tapping his pen on the desk, before he takes a deep breath and turns so he's making eye contact with you.

"I was gonna say the same to you!"

"I'll do it if you will"

You laugh, and nod

You both avert your attention to Mr. Jud as he comes trudging in, swinging his old briefcase
