My Evil Boy Toy

Chapter 228 – The New Student

I was shocked and was not able to say anything. It wasn't a dream after all. Caden was in the karaoke bar yesterday and took me home.

Was that the reason dad was acting weird? Was it Caden who asked dad to guard me?

"Alira!" Lea called.

"You didn't know. He came yesterday. You didn't tell us he's super hot and gorgeous! He's really like a prince!" Samantha commented.

"How could she tell us? The last time she saw the guy was when they were six. The nerve of him! After twelve years, he'll show himself without an explanation? If I were you, I would break up with him!" Lea ranted.

"L-Let's not talk about him. Maybe he came by for a visit." I said.

"Maybe he's here to break the engagement! I mean, why would he suddenly appear after twelve years?" Cassy commented.

I was surprised by what she said and suddenly felt a tightness on my chest. Did he really come here to do that? I bit my lips and ignored what Cassy said, and walked ahead of my friends.

We quietly came inside the classroom and sat on our seats. I still couldn't believe that Caden was here. I sighed and took one of my books to read. I needed a distraction, and reading was one thing I always do when I'm stressed.

"We have a new transfer student today. Come in!" The professor said.

I wasn't looking when she came and continued reading. I wasn't even interested in the new student, but Samantha kept tapping my shoulder.

"Alira!" She called.

I turned to look at her with a frown on my face.

"What?" I asked, annoyed.

She wasn't looking at me. Her eyes were stuck in front of the classroom. She pointed in the direction of the professor, so I turned to look at who she was staring at.

My eyes widened when I saw who the transfer student was.

"Everyone, this is Caden Richards. He will be attending Golden Oak from now on."

I didn't know what my reaction would be. My heart was beating so fast as I stared into the man in front.

He was around five feet nine inches tall with blonde hair and a pair of silver eyes. He looked like Uncle Jayden when he was younger. But Caden somehow looked manlier than his dad.

"You can sit behind Miss Wilson." The professor said.

As Caden walked towards his seat, he was staring at me. But his eyes looked so cold and distant, so I averted my eyes and looked outside the window.

I didn't even know how the first period ended. My mind wandered off the whole class and felt like Caden was staring daggers behind my back.

My friends were giving me small glances and couldn't approach me. 

And I couldn't understand why Caden was acting like that. I should be the one to feel angry. He was the one who abandoned me and didn't keep his promise.

I saw some of the girls from our class approach him. They were curious about the new guy who looked like a celebrity who suddenly transferred in the middle of the school year. Many girls were also lurking outside our classroom just to see him.

I felt like something was piercing my heart. He wasn't saying anything. He didn't even say hello to me. I have the right to at least receive an explanation from him. I was his fiance, after all. Or am I the only one who thinks that we were still engaged?

"Hi, Caden! I'm Bettina. This is Sarah and Luna. We're just wondering if you want to join us. Since you're new here, you could eat lunch with us."

Bettina was one of the pretty girls on campus. I don't have anything against her, but I just didn't like her. I felt like she was constantly staring at me, watching my every move.

Everyone was looking at them, waiting for Caden's answer. I bit my lips and waited for him to talk.

"Hey, you! Aren't you going to greet me?" Caden finally talked.

I thought he was talking to Bettina, but I was surprised when Samantha tapped me on the shoulder again. I frowned, and when I looked at her, I noticed that everyone was staring at me.

When I tilted my head up, Caden was already standing beside me. My eyes widened, seeing him staring intently at me.

"I-I" 

"What? Have you forgotten your fiance's face?" He said in a cold tone.

I heard the students murmuring with each other. Bettina's face was full of confusion.

"W-Wait. Fiance? Who?" Bettina asked.

Caden didn't even glance at the girl who asked the question. I could feel Bettina's irritation because of that. It was the first time someone ignored her.

"This girl." Caden answered.

To my surprise and everyone's, Caden touched some strands on my hair then leaned forward, giving it a small kiss.

I heard some girls squealing and took some pictures of us. It looked like Caden was bowing in front of me, kissing the tip of my hair.

Then he suddenly smiled at me.

"Did you miss me?" He asked.

I blinked twice. I couldn't believe that he was really in front of me. But how could he act as nothing had happened? Did he think I would just accept him again after abandoning me for two years?

Before I had the chance to answer, Lucas came rushing in our classroom.

"Asshole! What do you think you're doing?" Lucas asked with gritted teeth.

Then he grabbed my hand to pull me away from Caden, but Caden suddenly grabbed my other hand, pulling me towards him.

"Let her go!" Caden almost yelled.

"She's my sister!" Lucas yelled back.

"She's my fiance!" It was the second time Caden called me his fiance.

I was beginning to get mad because they were both pulling me by my hands, and they were already hurting me. We also attracted more people who were taking photos and videos of us.

"Stop both of you!" I yelled.

I know everyone was surprised; it was the first time I yelled that loud at anyone.

I glared at Lucas and snatched my hand away from him. Then I turned to Caden, snatching my other hand.

"You! Don't act like everything was okay. You owe me an explanation!" I said in a firm tone.

I turned to Lucas again. "I'm okay. You don't need to protect me anymore.. I need to talk to him, so go back to your class."
