The Game Without Rules

Chapter Five

"Yeah, okay." He says brushing me off.

I can tell he's mad.

"And Noah."

"Yeah?"

"I'm so sorry." I say before hanging up and rushing down the street.

There's a newsstand down the street.

I had to see it.

What I saw wasn't enough to prepare myself for. It was worse than I thought but of course I shouldn't have thought more from the press.

There it was in bold letters:

Alex Dalloway and Evangeline Sharp: Are They New York's new 'It' couple?

Oh but there's more.

Seen multiple times over the course of two days. The two were first seen spotted at heiress Anastasia Martin,daughter of businessman Raymond Martin, birthday brunch earlier this weekend. The two were seen talking engagingly before they both re entered the party. On Sunday they were seen spending the entire day together at the beach before heading back later that evening.
Sources haven't confirmed this new relationship but it's only been a day.

Want more on the potential 'it' couple? Well we do too.

I have to fix this.

But how?

I can't let this continue on, I can't let people think that's what's happen when in reality it's the opposite.

I sit in the backseat of the car that's currently driving me to school and my head is pounding. But something deep in the pit of my stomach starts to flutter at the thought but I quickly shake it away.

What about my father? What will he think? If he finds out he'll be the first to make this situation worse than it already is.

It's hard. To have your entire life documented for the world to see and judge blindly without even knowing both sides to an situation.

I awaken from my thoughts as the car stops abruptly and looking up to see the large building that spreads across an acre. Students sat close to the main doors, others hung over on benches that sat on the large lawn. The door opens for me and like any other day Ana is standing waiting for me.

I watch as her eyes glint with excitement and I can only guess one thing.

"Let guess you saw the paper?" I bluntly ask.

"Uh yeah, and why so glum? I thought you'd be flattered."

"In what way would I be flattered?"

"Alexander Dalloway is the most irresistible bachelor in New York and the son of one of the most successful Real estate developers in the United States. You are fucking Evangeline Sharp and you guys fit each other's standards."

"And what standards would that be?" I ask as we walk through the doors that lead into the hallways.

"Isn't obvious?"
