章 14: Library it is

Ella's POV:

The nerve of him. Jason Knight thought he could just demand my time like I didn't have a life. "My house tonight. Seven o'clock." Who did he think he was, my boss? If he thought I had all the time in the world to cater to his whims, then the so-called school king had another thing coming. Tonight, I had a double shift at the diner, and there was no way I'd be done before midnight. 

I shrugged off our conversation as I headed to work. Let him wait, I thought. I wasn't going to drop everything for his project, his ego, or his golden-boy charm. If he was as narcissistic as he seemed, he probably expected me to be at his doorstep right on the dot, hanging on his every word. Too bad. The reality was, I had bills to pay, a job to keep, and no patience for Jason's inflated sense of self-importance.
