Chapter One Hundred-Seven: Pathetic Samantha's POV “Have you talked to your parents?” Jane asked me. I shook my head. They haven’t called me. I’m still thinking about what happened last night. I don’t know why he was there. How did he find me when he doesn’t even know that place? Damn it. I touched my lips. I’m mad. Not only because he was there, but I’m also mad because of what he did to me. What’s with that kiss? Why did he do that? “Sam, what’s wrong with you?” Anna asked me. I sighed and looked at them. They have no idea what happened. And about Adrian? I still haven’t seen him. All I know is that they have practice today. “Nothing. Mom and Dad haven’t talked to me,” I told her. I heard Windy sigh.

Chapter One Hundred-Thirteen: StupidSamantha's POV“Sam, please talk to me,” Andrew kept following me around the school. Everyone even thought we were back together and that we were fighting.Damn, I would never have thought of getting back with him. I'm also irritated—he's following me wherever I go.“Andrew, you're just embarrassing yourself,” I told him while walking. He's showing others that he's willing to get back together, while I am the villain here who doesn't want to, even though he's making so much effort.“Please, Sam, I came back because of you,” he said while looking at me. I let out a deep sigh.Everyone is looking at us now. They were whispering, and I could hear my name.“I know I was wrong, but I changed because of you,” he held my hand.

I’m trying to avoid him, but he keeps following me,” I told them. Windy’s gaze went to my arm. I hid it under the table.“What happened to your hand?” she asked.

There was a mark left on it from how tightly Andrew had held my hand yesterday afternoon.“You’re lying,” Jane said. I sighed. I know I can't hide anything from them.“It’s Andrew. He suddenly grabbed my hand so tight yesterday. He wasn’t himself,” I told them.“That bastard. He was missing for how many weeks, and he comes back here to do that to you?” Jane uttered. I held her hand to
