#Chapter4 Rumors

/"You met Kale? Kale Reigns?/" Ella asked with wide eyes. I blinked several times. What was her obsession with him? I rolled my eyes but kept quiet and stared at the board. I simply nodded. She let out a high pitch squeal. The professor and all the other students turned to look at us. I slowly bent my head, letting my hair fall in front of my face. /"Oops/" Ella simply said as she placed her hand in front of her mouth.

/"Miss Jensen and Miss Pickett, can you refrain from disturbing my class again?/" the professor asked while glaring daggers at us. I nodded quickly while Ella shrugged. I sighed then motioned Ella to shut up when the professor took his book and started explaining again. Ella sighed but still managed to follow the explanation.

After the class, I knew that Ella was going to question me again on Kale. I quickly walked to Julien and pulled him in front of me. /"What are you doing?/" He asked in amusement. I could see Ella walking towards us, her eyes fixed on me.

/"Hide me from her/" I mumbled.

/"What did you do?/" Julien asked.

/"Nothing! She's tiring me/" I exclaimed as Ella joined us. She huffed and shook her head frantically.

/"I'm not! I'm just trying to get some information!/" She said. Julien rose his eyebrows in surprise.

/"On whom?/" he asked.

/"Kale Reigns! Kayra met Kale Reigns!/" Ella exclaimed again.

/"The rich bachelor?/" Julien asked, sounding bored. Ella and I both nodded.

/"The rich, handsome and sexy bachelor/" Ella corrected, making me unconsciously nod again.

Well, Kale Reigns was rich, handsome and sexy.

/"We didn't even talk!/" I told her. I watched as Angel and Ace walked to us. They seemed pretty amused by the scene as I was standing behind Julien who was defending me from Ella.

/"But you saw him/" Ella said.

/"So what?/" Julien asked instead of me.

/"How was he?/" Ella asked, sounding excited.

/"Who?/" Ace asked, a cute frown adorning his face.

/"Kale Reigns/" I replied instantly.

/"Who?/" he repeated again.

/"A rich, handsome and sexy bachelor/" I said and watched as Ella pointed her finger in my direction.

/"I need information!/" she exclaimed again.

/"Information on what?/" I asked in disbelief.

/"On Kale Reigns/" she huffed.

/"He's distant. He barely talks to anyone and that's all I know. I didn't even talk/" I told her through gritted teeth. Julien seemed to notice that Ella was starting to irritate me. So, he wrapped his arm around my shoulder and we both started walking towards the cafeteria.

/"I need more information on my future husband/" Ella said with a grin. I rolled my eyes but still chuckled.

/"I thought your new prey was Ajay/" I teased. I turned to look at her. She seemed to be in a deep thought as she tapped on her chin repeatedly.

/"Ajay would be for now. Kale would be for life/" she said dreamily. Julien rolled his eyes and followed Ace and Angel to a table. I laughed and took Ella's hands, pulling her along with me. She laughed as we joined our friends. What I quickly notice, was the frown on Angel's face as she stared at the screen of her phone.

/"You're sure that you didn't talk to Kale?/" Angel asked as she rose her head to look at me. I nodded, this time, I was the one frowning as I was confused by her question.

/"We talked only once I think/" I told her. /"Why?/" I questioned as I approached her. She handed me the phone. I took it, frowning at Angel. I then stared at the article that Angel was reading.

/"Reigns and Jensen: marriage soon?/" Ella read out loud. Just below, there was a picture of my mom and I, talking to Stella and Kale.

/"What the fuck?/" I swore. I didn't want to be the headline of all the magazines. I didn't want to be part of a rumor. I read the article and scoffed when I found out stuffs that I didn't even know about me.

Apparently, I was dating Robert Pattinson last year!

/"Seems like Kale is your future/" Ella joked. I huffed in annoyance. I needed to talk to my mother. I took my hand bag and started walking to the main door.

/"See you tomorrow/" I half shouted as I walked to the door. I could hear someone running after me. I turned my head to see Ace. /"What are you doing?/" I asked him.

/"Coming with you /" he said with one rose eyebrow as if it was obvious. I stopped walking and turned to look at our friends. Angel was looking in our way. She smiled and waved.

/"Why?/" I asked.

/"I need a ride home /" he said with a grin. Ace stays just next door so he'd usually catch a ride with me. I rolled my eyes.

/"You simply want to know what's going to happen/" I pointed out. He shrugged and chuckled.

/"Yeah, that too/" he said as he gave me one of his boyish grin.

Oh shit.

No more crush on him, remember Kayra?

Ace playfully put his arm around my shoulder, pulling me closer to him. I discreetly took a deep breath, inhaling his perfume. We walked to my car. I tried to control my freaking hormones. Ace smelled so good. I bit my lips and tired to do as if he wasn't holding me so close.

/"Get in the car/" I playfully ordered as I pushed his hand away. He pouted and faked hurt.

/"You broke my heart/" He said, referring to the fact that I pushed his hand away. I rolled my eyes as he got in the car.

/"Dumbass/" I mumbled to myself, then opened the door to the driver seat before getting in. As I sat in, I didn't fail to notice Ace checking me out. Well , checking my ass out. He quickly looked away before I could joke about it.
