Chapter 15 - Bestfriends Shouldn’t Know How You Taste 
“Don’t worry daddy we’ll get a ride on Ryan after school.”  I said then closed the door of the car. The window rolls  down. 
“Don’t forget you’re grounded young lady, so no coming  home late.” He warns. 
I rolled my eyes before adjusting my bag. “I know dad.” I  huffed. 

Arden comes out of the car, banging the door louder than  needed. “Such a baby.” He mocks and sticks out his  tongue when I shoot him with a glare. 
Dad’s head snaps to face him and smiles. “Bye to you too  son, don’t get into trouble.” He teases. With a silent  groan Arden nods. He hated when dad teased him in  public, not that anyone was paying attention. Or were  they? 
“Take care of your brother Ashley.” He says before telling  us he loves us then drives off. I stare at his disappearing  car and sighed, turning around. 
“I don’t get why dad thinks I’m causing trouble, I’m  totally innocent.” He grunts winking at a very older  blonde girl who was pa*sing by. I arch a brow before  walking up to the school building with him following  beside me. 
“Yeah innocent alright.” I snorted clutching the straps of  the bag tighter than necessary. Somehow I felt there  were too many eyes on me. It was normal for Arden but  for me it was unusual. 
“What I am!” He argues, his long legs seemed to make  him walk at a much faster pace than me. 
“Considering the many phone calls mom and dad has  gotten because of you and Liam’s stupid pranks aren’t  exactly innocent.” I uttered, and looked around. 
many people huddled around on the school  grounds. Some were whispering amongst themselves as  they stared at me. Squirming in uneasiness I gripped

With a breath of relief I had  finally

in my  head and I instantly feel my throat become dry. I could  feel the blood move from my once flushed cheeks. It  couldn’t be that could it? Weren’t everyone too drunk 
“You did do something!” He 
Noticing the new presence Arden  groans in

She shrugs. “I  guess your brother and I just don’t click.  It’s a mutual hate anyway.” 
She then wraps her arm around my own and starts  dragging me to the way to my cla*s. “Now stop trying to  change the subject. Tell me, how was it?” “How was what?” I asked in a cool and composed facade.  She huffs. “How was the kiss with the hottest guy in  school? Did he push his tongue-“ 
“Okay stop!” I came to a complete halt and turned  towards her. She looked ready to pop balloons and  celebrate. What the hell was going on? 
“What exactly did you hear?” I asked in a hushed whisper  as my eyes darted around. I felt smaller than usual. I  wasn’t invisible anymore. And I hated it. 
“Oh nothing just that you finally kissed Blake last night!”  She squeals and does a slight jump. My heart lurches in  my throat and suddenly I felt visible to everyone’s  accusing eyes. 
“How did you get to know about this?” I whispered. Was  this the reason for the hushed whispers earlier? 
“I heard it from one of the girls from the team, in fact the  entire school is talking about it. Don’t worry I slapped  one of those bitches that had something to say-“ 
“The entire school?” I gasp cutting her off. 
The bell rings and Rosalie groans in irritation. “I Fcking  hate that bell.” She then smiles and winks. “Well we’ll  talk later cousin and I want every single detail.” She says  and turns around to walk towards her clas. She was the  same age as Arden, yet she acted like I was the younger  one. 
I stand there looking at her retreating form disappear  inside the cla*sroom. I feel frozen in place, feeling the  accusing and disgusted looks everyone sent me as they  brushed past me not too gently. Everyone knew.
