Chapter 10: 10

Ayla POV

I ran straight to my room. Humph, how could the guy call me a rat? Do I even look like a rat? He even called me Jace's Tail. He sure is a narcissus. I don't remember how I used to behave, but somehow I'm not feeling well. I feel empty.

"Ayla, you inside?" Jace asked while staying outside of my room.

I didn't answer but went to my study table.

I could hear the door opening sound and he slowly approached me.

"Whoa, I never knew you were so obedient", that voice startled me.

"You…"

"Or what? Are you expecting Jace? Sorry to ruin your excitement", he ruffled my hair, making me more annoyed, but if I look at him closely, he sure looks handsome.

I came to my senses and shook my head.

What are you thinking, Ayla? Are you a sucker for a handsome face? Don't go after his face, he sure is a narcissus.

I kept trying to ignore his existence, but when I opened my eyes, I saw his face up close, making my heart beat faster than usual.
