Innocent or Not novel Chapter 4

"Seriously Penn? Leave the child alone and fuck off." Lia's eyes widened as she heard the bad word. Penn glares at the girl before getting up and getting back to his seat. Lia felt saddened as she thought she did something wrong.

"Carson please language. Let's continue the lesson." The girl named Carson scowled before dropping her head back down. Lia only smiled as her full attention was on Mr.Clark.

Minutes later the class was done. Lia was thinking she should talk to Carson, hopefully making her first friend. She looked pretty sketchy but you can't judge a book from its cover right? Lia took nervous steps toward the girl that was still sleeping. Lia poked her not receiving a response. She gave her shoulder a few taps. Carson groans as she moves around in her sleep. "Mom I did the dishes!" Her head rises and Lia giggles at the slobber on her cheek.

"Were you having a good sleep, Carson?" Lia smiled as she watched Carson. Carson shrugged before standing up. "C-Can you tell me what the game Quickie is ?" She asks nervously.

Carson laughed before looking at her. Definitely fucking Innocent. Carson thought. "Like a quick fuck in the janitor's closet." Lia was quiet for a moment before she squealed and covered her ears.

"S-Sex? Oh my." Carson laughed more before ruffling her hair. Lia looked at her moving lips but didn't hear anything before she realized she was still covering her ears. "Sorry, what did you say?"

"I said, nothing newbie. Catch ya later." Carson said as she pulled out her phone and began walking away. Lia only frowns, hoping Carson would be her first friend.

When she stepped outside she saw Ace's body leaning on the lockers. He didn't see her but only played on his phone. She covered her face before walking past him. He chuckles deeply, grabbing her waist and pulling her into his body. "Running away now are we?" He whispers in her ear making Lia's heartbeat rise.

With Ace's hand on her waist, Lia felt safe for some reason but quickly snapped out of it. "N-No I wasn't trying to run away." She says smoothly only making him smile. His breath fanned over her cheek making Lia all bubbly inside.

"Right." He says as he lets her go. She stumbled a bit before regaining her balance. "Your next class?"

"Lia! I came here immediately! Are you okay ? Do you need something ? Who's this ?" She eyes Ace suspiciously but Ace only wrapped an arm around Lia , looking at her mother strangely .

"Oh mom! This is Ace . He's been so nice to me!" She smiles as she gets up from the bed and into her mother's arm.

Her mother still looked at Ace suspiciously but then she sighed and gave in the hug. "I'm just glad you're okay. I wish I could stay but I have work ." Lia giggles as she pulls away and gives her mother a kiss on the cheek.

"It's okay. Get to work I'm fine now." Gina smiles softly before nodding her head and leaving. Lia sighed deeply as she still felt her noes bother her but she wasn't gonna let this ruin her first day .

A hand wrapped around her small hands and Lia looked up seeing Ace's worried eyes. "Can you tell me who did this now?" He calmly says.
