All Chapters of THE BAD BOY'S GOOD GIRL: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

JADE'S POVIt took hearing that stupid statement from Liz to realise that the stares and whispers from earlier weren't about Ches and her new hair color, no, it was because of me.The air had left my lungs when the words finally sank in, the insinuations making it hard to believe and like a dummy, I couldn't even say a word in my defense.The tears I'd been holding all morning, from that altercation with Amber to my hair being yanked and drawn by Emma, came rushing back and in that moment, there was nothing I could do to stop it.The ringing of the bell indicating the start of first period had saved me and as the student dispersed, I kept hearing repetitions of stupid, derogatory words- whore and slut taking the lead.Eventually, I'd found myself alone in the long hall, not even Ches in sight, and now in hindsight, I'm glad that she'd not been there.I don't imagine I'd have wanted the pity that would be so evident in her eyes and voice or the questions that would have followed, asking

JADE'S POV Neither of us realised how much time had passed until we finally left the bleachers and went back inside only to find that second period was already over.The hallway is filled again with people changing their books for the next class, others touching up make ups and the rest grabbing the latest gossip.And as soon as we make it through those double doors, it was this morning all over again, a solid walk of shame with every judging eyes on me.I'd hoped that the time I acted outside would have calmed the reaction to my supposed crimes, but if anything, I realised too late, it got worse.A firm hold on my hand, wrapped in a bigger on reminds me that I'm walking with Caden, no wonder the extra attention all of a sudden.I can swear some of them want to take a literal bite out of me right now and for once I'm glad he's here with me.Following him quietly, I hide under his sheer confidence and the dark aura surrounding him that dared anyone around to question his choices and de

JADE'S POV It's crazy how these students get when any one of the people they put on a fucking pedestal does or says something, even if it's not worth paying thought to.This morning, Liz and her gang had decided I wasn't worth any association with the rest of the school, embarrassed me in front of everyone and they had all laughed and avoided them.And hours later, Caden had shown up out of nowhere, broken up with Liz and made me his girlfriend without giving me a choice, and now, they all flock to me, offering me smiles and unsolicited warm hugs and invites to parties.In a blink, everything changed and I found myself hauled into some kind of limelight, like a deer caught in headlights and Liz, has somehow become the school's outcast.It's sad to watch how lonely she's become in less than a day, living the life of the nobody's and outcasts she hates so much.And it's scary imagining the things she might do to me now that she has a real, tangible reason to hurt me.A slight shudder go

JADE'S POV Going home with Matt, having him drive all that distance to my house even though his is in the opposite direction and talking about all whatnots is more warming than I let myself think at first.But before dinner even rolled around, I found myself looking forward to his silly texts and calls and for Friday so we can go to his cute sister's recital.He makes me feel lighter, like my problems aren't as big as they seems and he can hold my hand through it all and somewhere inside, I realise this is exactly what I needed.It's cute watching his tentativeness around me, no thanks to that night and the accompanying picture that surfaced this morning.My phone rings with it's usual announcement for a notification and I reach for it almost immediately, hoping it's him."No phones at the table, remember?"Amber mouths, taking a pause from eating her casserole.Her voice is unusually quiet, the kind that it's not been in hears especially with me and it's even more surprising that she

JADE'S POV Every single suspicion I had that Matt, like Caden, is from money gets totally confirmed the moment his car rolls through the gates of his magnificent looking house.It's beautiful and looks almost like Caden's, except for the welcoming warmth that surrounds this one, it's windows bright and showing rooms that people actually live in.It's a lot darker and emptier at Caden's, always has been since his mom, and sometimes I worry about how lonely it must be for him living in that mansion all by himself......Maybe that's why he glues himself to his friends and acquaintances, hosts these outrageous parties and keeps his girlfriend with him all the time.The word girlfriend twists my gut because that's what he claimed me to be earlier today, in front of everyone, yet here I am.Imagining being a real girlfriend to him fills my insides with fuzzy feelings and a lightness I know I shouldn't be getting, so I stop myself and focus on Matt instead."Welcome to my home, pancakes."He
