After classes, Brandon left the building and someone blocked his way. Since he was thinking about his life and what to do next, he didn’t see the person’s face right away, but when he did he was a bit surprised. Rindley Fairfax. “Brandon, right?” the man asked, looking at Brandon with a certain… contempt?Although Brandon knew who the guy was, he decided to pretend he didn’t. How could he know? He would have to explain where he first saw Rindley—and it had nothing to do with Lucy, but with the secret he wanted to hold to himself: his family. “And who is asking?” Rindley took a step in Brandon’s direction. Although Rindley was a big man, Brandon was much taller for about a head and, now, filling up. Not that people could really tell, since he used baggy clothes, but even his face was larger. “Don’t play dumb, ok? I know you and Lucy have been more than too friendly. And you, Brandon, seem like the stalker type.” Brandon couldn’t deny that, because he did stalk Lucy on social media
The weekend arrived and Brandon was supposed to meet Gregory's sister at the fair. Whoever arrived first would wait for the other outside and the two would enter the fair together.While Brandon was waiting for the girl called Ellie, Damon and Lucy arrived at the scene, accompanied by Rindley. Damon wasn't too happy with the company of his fiancee's brother. He hoped this was just a date for the two of them, but with her brother in tow, not even taking Lucy aside and kissing her, he would be able to do.Damon was the first to spot Brandon and he gritted his teeth in anger.“What is this asshole doing here?”Lucy, who still hadn't seen Brandon, was confused. Rindley was looking at a stand of huge pumpkins and hadn't looked in Brandon's direction either.“Oh, the fair is open to anyone who wants to visit Damon.” Lucy said and tugged on his arm, urging him to enter the fair and leave Brandon alone."Maybe this isn't a good place for us to stay, after all, any crap can get in." Damon said
Everyone around was surprised by Kayle's words. There were many students around who knew Brandon, albeit by sight, and were shocked by the revelation.“Are you going to deny it?” Kayle asked, in an affronted tone. “Answer me, damn it! Are you going to deny that you've been fucking my girl?”"I don't think this is the place to discuss such a matter." Brandon said, glancing around. He didn't want to speak the truth in front of all those people, or they would know who he was, the Heir of the Ashford Family. Also, even though Erika had been a bitch to him, Brandon didn't want to expose her any further.It was possible that some people had already mentioned the young woman's name, after all, the video that Kayle had recorded, with Erika's help, had spread and people believed that Erika and Brandon had gone to the hotel and had been in a compromising situation. Now, after hearing Kayle's words, it would be too easy for them to believe that she and Brandon had actually come to blows.“Oh, is
“Ah, you’re finally home, dear!” Georgiana happily said it, putting the magazine aside as she got up from the white sofa.She was a very elegant woman, tall, slender. Her very blond hair was almost always tied in an elegant bun at the back of her head. The impeccable make-up, the clothes always feminine tailoring. High shoes with square heels. She was the epitome of the well-educated and completely traditional rich woman.“I went out with Lucy, Mom.” Damon said and Georgiana smiled.“Oh, that's great! And how are things going between you and her? She is such a good girl!” Georgiana adored Lucy, and although the Fairfax were not as wealthy as the Montgomerys, Georgiana felt that the young woman was ideal: pretty, educated, intelligent, and studious. She didn't pick fights, she knew her place. And, of course, Damon was in love, now.“Things are going well.” Damon said and sat down on the couch, followed by his mother. The maid approached and Georgiana asked for refreshments to be served
“So, how was the fair?” Chung-hee asked Brandon as they drank water after training.“To be honest, it was crap. Kayle showed up and created a scandal.”After Brandon told him what Kayle had done and said, Chung-hee stared at Brandon.“And does anything he said about you and the girl…?”"No!" Brandon defended himself. "She... She tricked me, played with my feelings in a very dirty way, so I would never touch her, romantically. Even if I wasn't in love with someone else. I still have an ounce of dignity and self-respect.”Chung-hee nodded in agreement."Great. I'm glad to hear that. But…why would that boy accuse you?”Brandon thought for a few seconds and shrugged. He'd thought about it and all he could think about was that Erika was the one who told Kayle that."I don't know. Maybe she told him something.”“But why would she do that? She didn't seem to want to be attached to you.""I have no idea.""Why don't you ask her?" Chung-hee suggested and Brandon felt himself in a dilemma: shou
Ellie was bored and had no one to talk to. Gregory was on a date with a girl and Ellie wanted to go out. She thought about buying some books, but as she was new to town, she didn't know anyone. Except for Brandon.The day before, she'd lied about liking someone. Well, if you consider that the guy was a famous actor… then it was a lie, right? Because that would never happen.So she asked Gregory to give her Brandon's number, as they hadn't exchanged numbers the day before.At the mall, Ellie was waiting for Brandon to arrive when a guy approached her."Hello!" He said, very cheerfully and Ellie looked up, meeting a tall man with blue eyes so dark you had to look closely to see that they were blue. His dark hair and tanned skin made him look very handsome in Ellie's eyes. She swallowed hard.“Oh, hi! What can I help you with?" she asked sympathetically, trying not to sound like an idiot.“Can I sit here?” he asked, flashing a beautiful smile."Hmm, I'm expecting a person, but of course.
Brandon was looking forward to the day being over soon. He would go to college, then to work, and this was Lucy's first day at her job.He wanted to buy chocolates or something nice to celebrate that day. But he couldn't risk anyone knowing about their relationship. He laughed to himself. 'But what relationship, man?' he asked himself bitterly.Lucy hadn't texted him after what had happened at the fair and he didn't want to believe that she might be thinking he had, indeed, gotten another woman pregnant.At the end of class, Brandon watched Lucy get into Damon's car. Her fiancé would probably take her to work. Brandon sighed and walked to the bus stop. Before entering the gym, he passed the store where Lucy was supposed to work and saw her talking to an older man with a pin from the store.'Must be the manager,' he thought. Good, but Lucy was there. She didn't look toward the window once, and Brandon couldn't stay there any longer. In addition to looking like a pervert watching people
Brandon and Ellie look at Gregory without understanding."What is happening? What do you mean, Gregory? We are talking.” Ellie responded"Ellie, aren't you ashamed?" He asked. “You… you're… offering yourself like that!”Ellie got up from her chair with a menacing face and started walking towards Gregory. Brandon didn't know she had such a dark side. Gregory swallowed and Brandon realized it.“Ashamed of what, Gregory? Brandon and I are just talking. We're friends. However, it would be none of your business if we were doing something else!”"I know, I know.” He put his hand in front of his face. “Sorry, little sister.”“Get out, Greg!” He nodded in agreement and walked away. Ellie turned to Brandon, who was looking at her with his eyebrows high."You're tough." He said.She rolled her eyes.“Gregory is the slacker!” She sat back down. “And Brandon, this girl is interested in you. I won't be asking for details, because it's none of my business, but if you need anything, just talk to me
