JAXON

"How long are you going to ignore me?"

Kimora kept eating her lunch, not even blinking my way. I sighed, resting my head on my hand. "The silent treatment? Really?"

She finally gave me a look that said, 'now you know how I feel' before reverting back to her food. Okay. I deserved that.

This woman is too stubborn sometimes. She doesn't understand why I don't tell her some things... I don't want her to be traumatized by the things I tell her. I'm happy that Kimora and I are dating and I don't want anything to get in between us. Maybe I should tell her...

No. It's too risky.

"Hey guys." Tyler greeted us all as he sat down next to Audrey.

"Hey, where have you been?" Audrey asked and he shrugged. "Just got held back by the teacher."

Audrey nodded and I wasn't sure if she believes him or not but, I sure didn't. Tyler looked at me and I knew he had something to discuss later. I felt eyes on the side of my face and I smirked. "You're staring Kitten."

Finally looking at Kimora. She blushed and quickly went back to eating her food. "I don't know what you're talking about."

"She speaks." I faked enthusiasm. She rolled her eyes. "Be quiet before I change my mind about talking to you."

I chuckled, shaking my head at her. I knew she was going to crack sooner or later.

"Hello everyone!" A familiar voice said. We all groaned as Ariana plopped down in the seat next to me. Everyone was giving her some kind of dirty look.

Mare rolled her eyes. "You can't sit with us."

"That's too bad I already sitting here," Ariana smirked and pulled out her notepad and pen. Oh great, she was looking for a story for her blog.

"Go away, Ariana." Kimora droned. "It's obvious no one wants you at this table."

Ariana ignored her, turning to me with a smile. "Jaxon. I need to talk to you about something important."

I opened my mouth but, Tyler asked what I was thinking. "As in?"

She glanced at the rest of the table. "Alone."

"I'm sure you could tell us all what you need to say." Audrey avowed. 

"If it's so "important"," Kamila added, quoting with her fingers.

Ariana scoffed. "Mind your business! I was talking to Jaxon."

"That's too bad, we are all talking to you." Mare shot with Ariana's earlier remark.

"So what is it?" Kimora wrapped herself around my arm. I decided to stay quiet. Everyone else practically finished the whole conversation for me. Ariana sighed, writing down something on her notepad before handing it to me.

"Meet me later please." I could tell she was desperate from her voice and her eyes screamed for help. I've never seen her look so terrified. I nodded and she quickly walked off before anyone could say anything else.

"What was that about, Jaxon?" Audrey asked with a smirk.

"Don't know but, I'm going to find out."
