Chapter 43 ...
Selene's pov.

Ethan has shown tremendous improvement in his studying, only because we have to make out each time he gets an answer correctly.

When he doesn't get it correctly, he gets some extra minutes of studying on the parts he failed.

It was great to see that he could catch up really quick, all he needed was encouragement

He wasn't exactly dull, he just chose to fail classes by not paying attention.

When I'm with him, I feel a lot different, things have changed between us, I see a soft part of him that has not always been there.

Now, I'm in school, watching Vale at practice.

I told Ethan that I have everything under control, when in truth I do not.

I care so much for Vale I could not bring myself to tell him what's going on between Ethan and 1.

Besides, it would sound absurd, my step brother and I.

I'd only land myself in huge trouble, it's best to keep it a secret.

Vale skated over to where I stood before training began.

"I'm so glad you could make it." He touched my face with his gloved hand.

"How long is this going to be for?" I asked him, I was worried that it would take a lot of time and Ethan would start getting suspicious.

It hasn't been easy on me, my life suddenly turned from the quiet unseen girl who wanted to graduate peacefully, to being wedged in the two hottest guys in school.

Not that each of them have any idea what's going on, Ethan does, but slightly.

"The coach says we'd be here for an hour." His eyes softened when he noticed my displeasure.

An hour, that means I'll be some minutes late to Ethan.

I haven't spent much time with Vale since the movies and I don't want to give him reason to worry.

How could I say no to his pretty face?

"Okay I'll stay."

He gave me a sharp kiss before joining his other team mates on the rink.

I sighed and leaned my elbows against the short wall that separated us.

Becca and her meanies in the cheer squad walked in, giving me hostile stares.

I pretended like I didn't see them though.

From the corner of my eyes, I saw Becca putting on her skating shoes. She pulled down the upper parts of her squad uniform so that her boobs popped out more.

One of her friends handed her a bottle of water. I couldn't hear what they were murmuring about, but I wasn't comfortable

I cheered for Vale as loud as I could from the side, much to the annoyance of Becca and her meanies.

"Urgh, she thinks she's all that just because they're dating, I'm sure he's using her." Becca hissed.

My ears burned, I was standing right there and she said those hurtful words.

"I can hear you." I turned to face her, a scowl imprinted on my face

"You were meant to hear it, darling." She giggled.

"Let's see how much Vale is into you, if he can actually resist me."

She stood up, shooting her ass out

What the heck does she plan to do?

She entered the rink just when the guys were having a quick break.

"Vale, I brought you water." She purred in her popular seductive voice.

"Whoahhhhhh." The rest of the team whistled.

I grabbed the edge of the barrier until my knuckles shone white.

I imagined Vale slapping the bottle out of her hand, he didn't, instead he let her feed it to him.

My mouth hung open in anger, he let her do that, while I watched

I don't see the point of me standing here when he's got another super fan

It didn't stop there, Becca Flynn brought out a napkin to dab at his lips.

It only brought out more cheering from the guys around.

I wanted to leave, turn my face away from the humiliation that was happening right in front of me, but my legs betrayed me.

I couldn't hold myself when she returned.

"What was the meaning of that, Becca?"

She looked around her to check who was speaking, that was her way of saying I don't exist most times.

"Did you just speak to me?" She touched her boob.

The boob she put right in front of Vale's face, that's probably why he accepted the water from her in the first place.

The slut, she lost Ethan, and now she's coming for Vale.

"I don't appreciate you flirting with my boyfriend." I put as much anger in my voice as I could.

She and her friends giggled, she flipped her long blonde hair to the side.

"Ohhhhhhh, your boyfriend. I want to bet it wouldn't last till the end of the weak, virgin slut." she spat in my face.

In a daze of blind fury I reached for her hair and yanked it so hard, some strands came off in my hand.

I was ready to whoop her ass so bad, she wouldn't be able to cheer for the team till she graduates.

The team players and her friends intervened just in time.

"Selene, calm down what happened?" Vale jerked me away.

I have never in my life raised my hands on anyone before, this was my first time and I feel so embarrassed that it was because of a boy.

"Don't touch me." I yelled at him.

He didn't let me go

"What's gotten into you?"

"Why don't you ask your new girlfriend, since you allow her to feed you water." I hissed.

"I was on gloves, you saw that and my throat was really parched."

"You could have come to me, all you made her do was believe I'm just some cruise to you with that show you both performed."

"Heyy, you're going too far with this. It doesn't mean anything. I am sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you with it, it won't happen again." He touched me and I felt like I overreacted

I pushed his hands away.

"I'm going home.”
