Chapter 121: Nineteen and Not Ready
After the class ended, the loud shuffle of chairs and chatter echoed through the room. Students stood up one by one, stretching or chatting as they packed their things. Micah didn’t move at first. He reached into his pocket, pulled out his phone, and flicked the screen on.
There were no new messages from Aidan aka RiverBridge. However, Micah was not pleased. There was a good chance Aidan had seen the message before withdrawing from the chat. His stomach twisted in regret. A bad feeling settled in his chest.
Aidan had already set a trap for him by using Jullian. What if there was more? What if he was monitoring him?
His mood dropped like a stone thrown into deep water. Stupid. He was being stupid again.
He should have known better than to get careless.
He had been too lenient with everything lately. Too soft. Too relaxed. That was dangerous. He wasn’t someone who could afford to be soft, not with the people he and Darcy were surrounded by.
Yeah...He should be more alert.
Those twisted male leads were not fools. They were clever, manipulative, and sharp. One slip and would be checkmate.
There would be no second chance.
He gritted his teeth and shoved the phone into his pocket.
He shouldn’t laze around or hang with them. Helping Leo, spending time with Archie’s brother... and now texting casually in class with Aidan.... What next? Having coffee with Silas like old pals?
