Chapter SIXTY- TWO

PITY OR CRUSHING? YRENE'S POV. I didn't even know what to make of that. I just kept on staring at the words. Ethan was asking me out for Valentine? Why? Why was he asking me out for Valentine? Different thoughts went through my brain, and I found myself imagining what it would be like to go to the Valentine party with Ethan. But, that was getting too much exposure. An exposure I didn't need. If I went to the Valentine party the students were planning, with Ethan as my date, I would be the target of more rumors. I thought hard about it. Even though I didn't want more eyes on me, I didn't want to say no to Ethan. A guy like Ethan, asking to be your date, wasn't something you came by every day. It also made me question if he wanted to be my date because he was thinking it would make people respect me. It was sensible that he'd think that way, but it really wasn't as simple as that. I was a person who didn't have respect from the start, so it definitely wasn't going to earn me any respect.
