Ivy's pov
For the past two days, I've done nothing but cry. My head is killing me and my eyes are puffy and swollen. I could take one day off, right? Groaning, I grab my bag and walk outside, knowing a break up is no reason to skip school. Thankfully, it isn't long before Dil is beeping the horn for me.
I stand up and sulk toward her car. I open the door and she's grinning excitedly.
"Jason likes you!" She shrieks.
I glare at her as I get in her car and shake my head. This girl will be the death of me.
"Oh, come on, Iv! Ethan's a dick. He cheated on you for crying out loud. Oh, and don't worry, he will regret that. But, anyway, if he can move on so quickly after three years than so can you!" She says, shrugging her shoulders.
I nod. "You're absolutely right. I'll just fuck Jason. Make it even." I tell her sarcastically.
She smirks. "I mean, if that's what you want. Still better than Ethan." She chuckles at the end.
I laugh. "Yeah. I think I will, actually. But, I'd like to know him a little more though. I don't want my first time to be with an inconsiderate jerk."
She jumps up and down as she pulls out of my driveway. "That a girl."

"Hey, poison Ivy." Maverick smiles as we walk to our classes.
"Hey, Mav." I greet him back.
"Where's Jason?" Dil asks, sending me a discreet wink.
He looks up at her before shrugging. "He doesn't come to class til two today. Why? You like him or something?" He teases her.
She scoffs. "No. For Ivy, dumbass."
"What?" He demands. "I mean, you just broke up with Ethan." He covers up his anger quickly.
I shrug. "So? He moved on so now I'm going to."
Without another word, I walk past him into my class room, with Maverick trailing after me. I sit down at a table in the back and Maverick takes the seat beside me.
"Jason is a player, Iv. Are you sure you want to move on with him? if you are... I can't stop you.. But, you might get pulled into the same fate you just found yourself in Saturday night." Maverick voices his concern.
Ugh!
"It isn't like that, Mav." I tell him.
It's not like I'm going to date him. He's just going to help me lose my virginity to get it over with. That way, when I'm finally in a serious relationship, if I ever try that again, there will be nothing holding me back. He won't feel the need to cheat on me.
Right?
Besides, it's not even that big of a deal. Every girl I know lost their virginity in high school. At least I waited until college.
"Then enlighten me, Ivy. What's it like then?" Maverick demands.
"Just drop it, okay. I'm going to get to know him first. Don't worry so much." I point as his face. "You'll get wrinkles." I tease him.
He swats my finger away as our professor walks in. He looks around the room until his eyes land on me.
"Miss Davis." He calls, motioning me to the front.
I stand up, giving Dil and Mav a questioning look before walking to the front.
"Yes, sir?" I ask.
"You're needed in the main office." He tells me with a sad smile.
I furrow my eyebrows at him before nodding and grabbing my stuff. Dil raises her eyebrow, waiting for an answer that is unknown to even me. I shrug as I turn toward the door and walk out.
I make my way down the hallway, looking down , until I reach the main office to my college. Taking a deep breath to calm myself, because I know I've done nothing wrong, I grab the knob and push the door open.
"Good morning, Miss Davis." The Dean, Mr. Greyson, greets me as I walk in. "Please, sit."
I take the seat in front of his desk and cross my legs, waiting for Mr. Greyson to speak. He takes a long, deep sigh as he leans against the desk toward me, clasping his hands together.
"Miss Davis. I really hate to inform you, because you're one of our top students, but, unfortunately, your payment was due today and it wasn't paid."
My eyes widen in shock for a moment before I regain my composure.
"Sir, I don't want to be rude or anything, but I have a scholarship. I worked very hard for this scholarship. I don't understand why it would say I haven't paid when I haven't even paid since I got here." I tell him, furrowing my brow in annoyance.
"Scholarship? You never had a scholarship, Miss Davis. It says here that Garrett Perry has been paying your payments since... Well, since you've started here, Miss Davis."
"What? No! Thats not possible! I got the call saying I got a scholarship!" I throw my hands out in frustration.
Mr. Greyson shrugs his shoulders as he sits back in his chair.
"I'm sorry, Miss Davis. You have two weeks to come up with the payment or I will have to fill your spot." He says softly. "You won't be allowed back until the payment is successful."
I put my elbows on my knees and place my head in my hands.
This has got to be the most fucked up thing that has ever happened to me in my life!
Even worse than losing Ethan!!! And I loved him so much. But, it was his father who payed. And now that I caught Ethan cheating, he refuses the payment?!
How the hell am I supposed to come up with almost ten thousand dollars in a week? All of my money goes toward house payments!
I stand up. "Thank you, sir." I say as I walk out.
I rode here with Dilyn so unfortunately, I don't have a ride home. Looks like I'm going to have to walk.
Ugh! Why is everything bad happening to me?!
What did I even do? Just because I want to lose my virginity!!!
Blehhh.
"Grrrrrrr." I growl in frustration.
"Did you just growl?" A voice asks from behind me.
I turn around and come face to mid chest with the person. I look up and see his eyes lit up with amusement. My cheeks heat up, causing me to look down and cover my face with my hair.
Why the hell am I blushing?
"I just... I'm going.." I point in the direction of my house. "Home."
"Want a ride?" He asks me.
I smile up at him. "Thank you, Aiden. You're amazing."
Maybe God sent me an angel.

An angel my ass...
Aiden was currently sprawled out on my couch, guffawing in laughter. I'm going to kill him.
I told him what happened to me this morning and he laughed so I told him I was going to beat him up if he didn't shut his trap and, GUESS WHAT????? He's laughing even harder!
Such a jerk.
"Okay, Aiden, you can stop laughing now." I tell him.
He sits up, still chuckling, and shakes his head slowly, back and forth, before smiling up at me.
Such a beautiful smile for a jerk.
"So, let me get this straight.. You thought you had a scholarship.."
"They sounded legit!" I defend myself.
His lip twitches as he tries to contain his laughter.
"But, it was your boyfriend's father this whole time?" He asks for confirmation and I bod, giving him just that.
"And, then after you catch him cheating, he refuses to pay.."
"Yes! I mean, I don't care if he pays because I wouldn't have let him if I knew but, now I'm screwed because I thought I had a scholarship, that ended up being fake, I work at a diner and I barely make enough to pay my bills, I can't add school to the mix, too!" I groan in frustration.
He lays back on the couch, looking up at my ceiling.
"You're cute when your frustrated." He chuckles.
I glare at him from the chair I was currently sitting in. Jerk.
"So, who is this mystery boyfriend of yours, anyway?" He turns toward me curiously.
I roll my eyes at the thought of Ethan. How could he do this to me? We've been together for three years. I was going to give him a part of me that I could never get back.
And, now I'm being stupid by thinking about giving that part to Jason, the supposed player.
All because I hate being a virgin and losing the guy I love and the guy I thought loved me back.
What is wrong me me?
Grrrrrr.
"Spacing out on me, princess?" Aiden's voice jolts me out of my thoughts.
"What?" I ask, stupidly.
He chuckles. "Who is the piece of shit who hurt you?"
I take a deep breath before letting it out.
"Ethan." I tell him. "Ethan Perry. Know him?"
His eyes darken in fury. What the hells the matter with him? Just as soon as it was there, it was gone. I open my mouth to ask him if he was okay but he begins speaking, cutting out whatever I was going to say.
"I've had some contact with him." He tells me.
I nod my head slightly, letting him know I heard him. I stand up and head to my bedroom.
"Where are you going?" Aiden asks.
I look back at him. He has his head upside down off the couch to look at me.
"I have to get ready for work." I tell him, turning back around.
I hear shuffling behind me, so I figure Aiden is getting up.
"Why don't you get him back?" I turn around and gasp in shock to see Aiden so close now.
What is he? The flash?
Stupid tall boys with long legs...
"Well?" He speaks up once again.
I sigh. "I plan to get him back." I assure him.
He smirks. "Yeah? With who?"
I shake my head as I turn back toward my room. He follows behind me and shuts the door before sitting on my bed.
"I'm going to shower. Font touch my stuff." I tell him in a serious tone and he holds his hands up telling me he'll keep his hands to himself before he lays back on my bed.
He pulls out his phone and starts scrolling. Okay, then. I should be good to go.
Stepping into my bathroom, I close the door and strip naked before turning on my shower. I adjust its temperature to almost scalding hot before I get in and sigh as the heat my tense muscles. I moan in delight as I run my fingers through my hair, letting the water overtake my body.
Grabbing the shampoo, I pour some into my hand. I lather the strawberry scented soap in my hair before washing it out. I repeat with the conditioner before washing my body with lemon scented body wash.
After I was rinsed off, I turn the water off. I grab a towel from the top shelf and wrap it around my body before grabbing another one and wrapping it in my hair.
I walk over to the counter to grab my clothes but sigh in defeat, remembering I forgot to grab them.
Definitely not used to having a boy in my room.
Usually, I just get dressed in my room so, it didn't even cross my mind to grab clothes before I took a shower.
I open the door just a crack, seeing Aiden asleep on my bed.
FUCK! How am I supposed to get clothes now? I'll just be extremely quiet.
Wrapping the towel tighter around myself, I tip toe quietly to my dresser. I pull it open slowly and stop when a sqeak sounds from the drawer. I wince as I glance back. Aiden's even breathing tells me he's still sleeping so I open the drawer the rest of the way.
I quickly grab some underwear and a matching bra before grabbing my blue work uniform.
I quietly celebrate getting my clothes without waking him up before turning back to the bathroom. I take a few steps before I'm yanked back, falling on my ass, WITHOUT MY TOWEL!
I gasp at the same time I hear another gasp coming from my bed. My eyes widen in horror as I quickly grab my towel from my dresser. I was so excited, I must have shut my towel in the dresser when I closed it.
Aiden trains his eyes on the window beside my bed and I take that moment to dart back into the bathroom.
Shit. What an epic fail.
I quickly get dressed and lean against the bathroom door.
How am I supposed to face him after what just happened?
Taking a deep breath, I turn around and open the door. Aiden is no longer on my bed, or anywhere in my room. I open the door to my bedroom and check out the window for his car but, its gone as well.
Wow. He saw me naked and left. That's definitely a way to boost my confidence. I couldn't have looked that bad!
Fucking jerk.
