Kayleigh was packing her belongings up and tying her hair into a loose, messy ponytail when Adam approached her. When she saw the determined stride to his walk her heart sank, knowing there was no way to avoid what was obviously going to be a conflict. Pulling her bag over her shoulder, she made sure she was ready to run the moment an opportunity arose. “Strange that both you and Aiden were late today, don’t you think?”

“No not really. Just a coincidence I guess.”

He didn’t look like he believed a word. “You sure about that?”

“Why wouldn’t I be?”

“You’re a good actress, Kayleigh, but I know what’s going on here. You aren’t pretending when it comes to Aiden.”

“I don’t think that’s any of your business, really, even if it were true.” Kayleigh was proud that her voice didn’t wobble or crack. Her tone remained nonchalant and she conveyed an air of boredom as she glanced down at her nails.

“It has everything to do with me if you turn into one of his sluts. What do you think will happen to the show when he kicks you to the curb like every other woman who thinks they’re special enough to change him? You’ll be left heartbroken and the show will be ruined all because you fought to get him cast and then couldn’t keep your hands off him. By the looks of this morning you don’t have long left with him either.”

Kayleigh resisted the urge to slap him. Her hand was twitching at her side, but she knew it would do her no favours. Gritting her teeth she was about to reply, but Aiden beat her to it.

“Is there a problem here?” He towered over Adam, pulling himself up to his full height as he pierced him with a fixing stare. He seemed to have overheard more than she thought.

“No, we’re cool, aren’t we, Kayleigh? You understand what I was saying?”

Kayleigh was fuming. Blood pounded in her ears because she refused to respond. Her silence and angry glare were enough of an answer.

“I don’t think you are really.” Aiden moved quicker than a snake striking. One minute his arm was at his side, and the next his hand was clutching at the neck of Adam’s shirt, scrunching it up as he pressed him into the wall.

“Aiden, careful,” Kayleigh murmured, but she was too scared to get involved. She also thought Adam deserved it.

“You think you know me, Adam? You’ve heard all of the rumours around campus and that automatically means you know everything about my life?”

Adam didn’t answer.

“I asked you a question.” Aiden’s voice dropped to a deadly tone.

“Everyone knows who you are and of your reputation, but still sluts like her chase you thinking they can be the one to change you.” Adam jerked his chin in Kayleigh’s direction and she saw Aiden’s grip tighten. People were starting to gather, watching the scene with intrigue.

“What did you just call Kayleigh?” Aiden hissed.

“You heard me.”

“Not so brave a second time, eh? Go on, what did you call her.
