Chapter 2

We literally fought through the dinner. He kicked my leg until I choked on my food and I pretended to accidentally step on his foot making him groan in pain with my high heels.

"Amanda!" My mom hissed at me and I raised my eyebrows.

"It's okay, Sandra." Mason's mom said and I let out a long sigh before I turned to Mason glaring at him.

"Excuse me." I got up from my seat. I planned to go outside to get some fresh air. I was in a rush when I bumped into someone. "I'm sorry!" I quickly apologized.

"I'm sorry too." He said as he gave me a smile. I nodded awkwardly and both of us were going to the lift.

"I'm Andre." He introduced himself.

"Amanda." I introduced myself and when the lift door opened, we both walked out from there. I guess we're going the same direction huh? I walked to the garden first and looked up to the sky.

"Amanda!" Andre stopped me by my wrist and I looked down. I almost took a step down without looking.

"Thank you." I said and we both chuckled.

"I'm assuming you're still in high school like me. I'm 18 by the way." He said as he made me take a step back.

"I'm 17. What's your school name?" I asked.

"Wills."

"Ah.. I'm from St. Pauls." I said and he nodded.

"Nice to meet you." He said, it's a little bit awkward but not really.

"Nice to meet you too." I said.

"I think I have to go, or else, my family will think I got kidnapped or something." I added when Andre wanted to say something to me.

"Okay. See you around, Amanda." He said and I nodded. I went back to the restaurant and everyone was still chatting and eating. I sat beside Mason again and he's currently hanging out with Ashley and his brother, Michael.

Not long after that, we finished dinner. I followed my family and when we're getting into the lift, there's a full sign. My brother pushed me and Mason from the lift. Ashley and Michael decided to come along with us. They both kept chasing each other until Ashley accidently pushed my body.

I fell down on Mason's body and the two kids stopped.

"They're kissing!" Ashley said and I shook my head before getting up. My heart was racing so fast and my face was hot. The lift arrived and I grabbed Ashley with me and Mason grabbed Michael.

"Ashley stop!" I hissed when she tried to make Michael play again. As soon as the lift door opened, they both ran away towards our family.

"Dad! Amanda and Mason kissed earlier!" Ashley said innocently and I swore we didn't.

"No, we didn't." Mason said flatly.

"I swear we didn't." I said and both families looked at us grinning.

"Mason, do you mind taking Ashley and Amanda home? Us, parents are going to the bar." Mason's mom said.

"I can grab a cab, we'll be okay." I said.

"Nonsense!" Mason's mom said.

"Fine." I looked around to find Seth and I guess he decided to go somewhere too. I wondered why Sam didn't join us. After the parents left, I was planning to grab a taxi but Mason stopped me.

"Don't even think about it!" He warned.

"What?"

"I'm taking you home." He said.

"No, you don't need to. I can go home by myself." I said and he grabbed my wrist leading me to the basement where he parked his car. He told the two kids to get inside but I was stubborn enough to not want him to take me home.

He looked at me straight into my eyes.

"Get in the car, Amanda!"

"No, I'm taking the cab." I said and Mason sighed. He got into his car and looked at me one last time before driving away.

"Asshole." I hissed before going back up to the lobby to grab a taxi.
