Sold to Mr. Arrogant novel Chapter 61

The next day soon arose; Shawn insisted that he rides with me so that we would reach college together.

" I do not understand why did you lie to Alicia regarding our relationship?" I asked as I fixed my position inside the car.

" The news would have spread sooner or later, we were seen together yesterday. Also, everyone would be wondering about how we were connected. I had to give them an explanation...,” he explained.

" Why didn't you provide a good explanation then? This one would create a lot of trouble. In addition, it is not true... You have said that you don't want us to be an issue. Why change your mind?"

" Cuz it is fun,"

This conversation was beginning to give me a headache. I stepped out of the car, today we had an exam and the English debate that we have prepared for this last week. Shawn was walking by my side adjusting his footsteps to my pace. He was even holding my backpack that he managed to steal from me earlier.

All eyes were staring at us; they were chitchatting with us as their main topic. Shawn ensured me that Alicia's boyfriend will not be able to say a single word about what happened yesterday since it would just expose his dirty deeds and ruin his family's reputation.

It seemed that Shawn could not control the statements of his friends though who told everyone about how Shawn beat him so hard and because they couldn't be able to say the reason why it will cause everyone to link it to the reason for my presence that day. I started doubting whether Shawn's interference was actually of any help.

Alicia was taking a break from college, she informed us on the group chat that he wanted to break up with her. We tried to console her as hard as we could, we felt very bad for her. Penny soon showed up in front of both of us.

" There is not a single soul who is not talking about you guys." he started.

" It's all thanks to a certain someone." I spat out glaring at Shawn who was smirking to my face.

“ Hilarious, I like to be where the light spot is.” Penny laughed.

“ Grow up for god’s sake…”

Time passed and it was time for our English debate. I had to argue how is gambling is beneficial when I know for sure that this is not the case. Shawn kept speaking on my behalf; I bet he felt bad for what he did.

He should not have teased me this way, to begin with, now he is acting all meek as if he was the gentlest person on earth. I forgive him though since he turned out this cute.

We finished our class and we were on our way home, Shawn was driving me this time.

" I am sorry for the debate..." he began.

" It is not that big of a deal, believe me. I don't really care about what happened in the past anymore. Dad is a part of my past, thanks to your dad, I don't have to see him." I started knowing that Shawn would understand where this is coming from, after all, he probably knows whatever Gerald does.

" I am still feeling bad about it..."
