Spoiling The Billionaire’s Good Son

Shane’s POV

[[Three days later]]

Renee slept comfortably throughout the English Literature class. I should’ve known that was what she had in mind when she rushed over to sit at the back. Mrs. Salone, the literature teacher, didn’t seem to notice. Even if she did, she didn’t care.

I couldn’t concentrate because she was one locker away from me. I should be listening to whatever was being said and taking down notes but I wasn’t doing any of those. Instead, I was lost, staring at the sleeping beauty who hasn’t said a word to me since three nights ago.

Did I say something wrong that night? Maybe I must’ve said something stupid that pissed her off. Maybe it was all wrong to have walked into her room. And I think I should apologize. But how?

She doesn’t even spare me a glance anymore and she now acts like we’re strangers. It makes me sick, it drives me crazy, it hurts me.

“… You’ll perform a known script with your partners. Maximum creativity and good performance will equal good points” Mrs. Salone announced and I snapped out of my thoughts.

“I want to perform with Shane” Kendall waved her hand in the air and all eyes turned to her. “We’re gonna be a perfect pair”

Mrs. Salone looked at her for some time and then she looked at me. She stared down at the file she was holding and nodded briefly.

“Fine. Kendall Lindton and Shane Dalton” Murmurs erupted from the students in the class but she didn’t seem to care. She continued. “Alice Young and Jason McCarthy… Esmeralda George and Lenny Bruce… Ashley Hills and Kyle Lindton…”

Everyone murmured and turned to look at Kyle seated at the other end of the class. He glared at them and returned his gaze to what he was doing on his phone. Everyone looked away except for Ashley who kept staring at him in terror. He didn’t seem to notice or care. Besides, everyone was still surprised that he showed up in class today.

“Renee Morgen and…”

“Pair me up with Renee” Kyle spoke for the first time and once again, everyone turned to look at him.

My heart’s palpitation grew uneven and out of beat as if protesting. He looked at me, then over to Renne who was still sleeping. What does he want with her?

“The list has already been made”

“Then remake it, Mrs. Salone” She nodded in response and started working on the list.

What’s going on?

Since when did teachers start following students’ instructions?

“Alright then, I’ve made a few changes. Renee Morgen is now paired with Kyle Lindton and Ashley Hills is now paired with Timothee Thompson”

She continued the pairing and when she was done with it, she packed her things and walked out of the class. Ashley was the first to leave her seat. She rushed over to Renee and woke her up.

“Go away, don’t disturb me!”

Ashley huffed and tapped her shoulder once again. “Seriously?”

“Okay, fine, what do you want?”

“Come on, class is over, we need to leave” Renee groaned but she packed her things and stood up. “Gosh, I can’t believe you sleep in almost all the classes yet you still manage to keep your grades up”

“What did I miss, huh? Did Arden finally fuck Mrs. Salone?” Renee asked and I cringed. Everyone laughed. “Oh, don’t tell me I missed that”

I sat quietly, watching as she carefully packed her books into her bag and zipped it up. She arranged her pleated skirt which was extremely short, I could see her fair and smooth thighs. She also wore long white *socks which made her look so gorgeous.

Before, I’d never look at any girl dressed like that but here I am, staring at Renee and wondering what it would feel like to run my palms on that smooth skin. With the thought In mind, my d*ck started growing hard under my trousers. I clenched my fists and looked away. What is going on with me?

“I guess you’re such a sleepyhead, Partner” I heard Kyle say and turned back to look at them. He was now standing between Ashley and Renee.

“Partner?”

He smirked and looked around. “Someone should tell her”

Kendall walked over with a smirk plastered on her face. “Yes, dumbass. You got paired with my beloved brother for the English Literature thing”

“It’s not a thing, it’s a fucking project, dummy” Ashley replied with an eye roll. They used to be best friends but everything changed since Junior High.

“Yeah, whatever, don’t care. But guess what? He’s gonna deal with you for trying to mess with me” Renee just stood without saying a word. I guess she was still trying to understand what was going on.

“Just get away from here, will you?”

“Oh course, Ashley. Such a shame my brother picked her and dumped you this time. It’s not like there’s gonna be any difference” The girls behind her started laughing as they walked back to their seats.

“Hey, let’s get out of here,” Layla said, standing in front of my desk. I ignored her and focused on Kyle Lindton.

“Now you know, I’d suggest we start working on the project right now. Meet me at the library”

When did Kyle ever get interested in school projects? He doesn’t even attend classes.

“Um… Hang on” Renee finally spoke for the first time. She looked confused. “Excuse me?”

Kyle rolled his eyes then and stepped closer to her. “Me, you, in the fucking library, now!”

“Fuck no!”

“What?”

“Fuck-NO!” Renee answered again and he furrowed his brows. “I’m not following you to any library”

“Then- Pick somewhere else.”

“Unfortunately, she’s pretty occupied.” I answered and went to stand in front of him. I don’t know where the sudden audacity came from.

“Shut the fuck up. You have no say in this” He growled and took a step closer. He looked enraged and something in me was thrilled. Didn’t know making Kyle Lindton mad would feel this wonderful.

“Of course, I do. I’m her tutor and right now, we’re going to have a session”

He fisted his hands and took another step closer but Kendall and Ashley got between us before he could strike. He stepped back and chuckled darkly, the anger apparent in his voice.

“She’s coming with me!”

“No, she’s coming with me!” I replied, maintaining a calm facade. Everyone in the class remained quiet and stunned as they stared between us.

Kyle glared hard at me and I glared back. I could tell he was holding back. But why? What’s stopping him from pouncing on me?

“Shane, what are you doing?” Layla asked, holding my arm. “She’s not going anywhere with you, I am. So let’s go”

Without giving a response, I picked up my school bag from my desk. I turned around and grabbed Renee by the hand, dragging her out of the class with me. She didn’t utter a word or try to protest and felt so thankful for it.

Where did I get such nerves from?

Most of the students that followed us stopped halfway. I’m sure they couldn’t keep up with me anymore cause I kept going and going, taking Renee along.

“This doesn’t look like a fucking library, Shane” She finally spoke when we arrived at the school’s garden. It was quiet and peaceful as always.

I gulped and lowered my head. That was when I realized that our hands were joined together. I just grabbed her by the hand and took her with me without thinking this through. Now, I don’t even know what we’re doing here.

I’m so stupid!

Look how I made a fool of myself in front of everyone. Now, I’m repeating the same in front of Renee.

“What are we doing here?”

“I… I…” I stuttered, not knowing what to say. Shame sank into the pit of my stomach and I couldn’t even look up at her.

She remained quiet, waiting for me to say something, anything. But there was nothing to say. I couldn’t tell her that I never wanted her close to Kyle. I never wanted her around him, that’s why I decided to take her far away from him. It was a foolish idea but I feel so satisfied that I did it anyway.

“I’m sorry…” I managed to say and tried to withdraw my hand from hers but she held me firmly.

“That’s bullshit, Shane, I loved what you did. I don’t care if you dragged me out of the class like some piece of shit and brought me down here. I don’t care what your reasons are either. I just love that you did this for once, for me!”
