Taboo Stepson System-Chapter 55: Do you have a girlfriend?

Dominion High’s hallway was teeming with students who were returning back to their classes after witnessing the clash between Miles and Kelvin’s group of bullies.

Kelvin, one of the school’s best players, had been humiliated by Miles. A student which less than 10% of the school knew his name, but now on everyone’s lips.

At this moment, also casually walking to do class with eyes all-over him, Miles felt a particular hateful gaze focused on him.

Glancing behind him, he saw Ben, Chris, and Tyler’s contorted expressions holding back their rage while suffering immense humiliation from pointed fingers.

’Look at that, I’m sure they’ll probably try something stupid soon enough.’

Upon entering the class, it fell distantly silent, all eyes focused on him, even Theo was no exception. For the first time, he felt like Miles was a whole new person, a mixed contrast to the friend he knew for years; but at the same time, his eyes shone with pride.

Miles smirked at Theo, and ignored every other eye to set on him.

He walked in the silence till he took his seat, the class finally heaved like they had been freed from a time freeze.

Constantly glancing at Miles, and hushed whispers began to spread through the classroom, obvious gossip.

Dropping his backpack, Miles glanced at the empty seat next to him. Britney and Daniel were suspiciously the only one absent at the moment.

Just then, as he was about to flip open the textbook, he heard approaching footsteps behind him.

"Hi."

A nervous, feminine voice sounded from his side, forcing Miles to tilt his neck and raise his gaze to capture the appearance of the girl.

’Brown eyes?’

Miles thought for a moment and suddenly recalled who she was, Lena.

She was previously part of Britney’s clique, but rumoured to have tried to snatch Daniel from Britney but was cut in the act, so the group cut her off.

Lena had a purple bow tied around her hair, highlighting her from the average. From the look of it, she already found herself a new clique.

" Hi."

Miles responded calmly, meeting her eyes with questioning intent within them.

Seeing this, Lena promptly smiled, hoping to charm him and introduced herself.

" I’m Lena. I sit back there." She pointed to the back section of the first and third rows where three girls quickly beamed him a smile.

"Oh, I’m Miles. Uhm, I sit here?"

Miles answered, his attempt at a joke successfully earning Lena’s laugh while the other girls became hostile towards.

"What a bitch?"

"How shameless."

They cursed, low enough for the whole class to hear but Lena acted ignorant and chuckled lightly.

"I’m sorry for disturbing you. I just wanted to ask if you have a... girlfriend?"

She stretched her words, secretly winking at him seductively.

"Oh, I don’t have one."

Miles responded, his words instantly reigniting the hope of the girls that thought they’ve failed.

Lena was also shocked.

"Alright." She smiled and promptly turned, returning to her seat.

’Bitch.’ Miles smiled inwardly.

’I have been in this class with you for the past two years. You always roll your eyes at me with disdain and avoid me like a plague. All of a sudden I rose to fame and your next move was to approach me and ask me if I have a girlfriend.

You aren’t only shameless but audacious.’

Miles thought, resisting the urge to frown as he gazed at Lena’s retreating back. He knew this would happen and it was the main reason he chose to rise to fame.

Infatuation of gullible girls that thought they could become hot cakes by being his girlfriend.

However, he only saw them as walking Taboo Points. He wasn’t righteous enough to reject a pussy with hidden intentions either.

Before he could turn back to face his business, felt the attention of two gazes.

Daniel and Britney.

The former’s eyes glinted with fear beneath the glasses and the latter seemed to have heard enough to traumatize her.

Earlier, a couple of minutes ago.

As the students dragged their feet to their classes while discussing the brutal showoff, a soft firm palm grabbed Daniel’s hands, pulling him away from the defeated but vengeful clique she had previously felt proud he belonged to.

Upon seeing it was Britney, Daniel followed till he was pulled into the girls restroom.

"Wait here."

Britney said and rushed to confirm if the other stalls were empty. Seeing they were, she rushed back to Daniel and gave him a firm hot slap.

" How dare you-"

She said the words but quickly stepped back in fright when the shades snapped off Daniel’s face, exposing his reddish-black eyes circles from extreme lack of sleep and worry.

Britney covered her mouth.

"What do you want?"

However, Daniel’s dead nonchalant tone quickly shook off her empathy, so her anger returned in lesser folds.

" How dare you?

Miles made a joke about your dick. How does he know we had sex if you didn’t spill the tea of what we did?

I knew you were always a jerk, but didn’t think you’ll be such a bastard-"

"Argh!"

There was a sudden gasp, cutting Britney off, Daniel grabbed her neck firmly with both hands, pressing her against the wall with a crazed look in his eyes.

"Don’t you dare! Don’t you dare mention that vicious monster before me again!"

" Argh!"

Horribly shaken, Britney collapsed on the floor grasping her neck as she fought for air. She glanced to see Daniel splashing water on his face from the faucet like a mad man.

’What’s wrong with him?’

She thought, shaken by what just happened.

Suddenly, Daniel stopped and used a towel to clean his face. He stared at his reflection in the mirror, then bent down to pick up his shades.

"If you know what is good for you, it’s better you stay away from Miles. In fact, this relationship ends here. I don’t want anything to do with you."

"What?"
