The little blonde girl looked at the face of Aiden who sat beside her, as if there was something strange and unusual about this chubby boy.
Aiden,who initially devoured a sandwich, was forced to stop because he was uncomfortable with the look in her eyes.
"Uhm... do you want one? I still have one more piece!"
"No thanks. I was just curious, why are your eyes like that?" Aiden who had heard the question many times, was forced to repeat her answer.
"My mom says I have heterochromia iridum." He answer.
"What's that?" Asked the little girl innocently.
"That means he's an alien, hahahaha..." Kevin shouted who suddenly entered the classroom with his four friends.
"Hey Cindy, you better not go near him, he's an alien. Just look at his big body, it's because he often eats lizards and frogs!"
"I don't eat lizards!"
"You're a liar! Surely this sandwich has lizard meat in it? I saw you caught a lizard yesterday!"
"I caught the lizard to help my mom!"
"Oh yes, your mom is a frog surgeon. Alien family, Aiden alien, Aiden alien!" Kevin shouted excitedly.
"Hahaha... you fat, monster-eyed alien!"
"I'm not an alien!" Aiden held back his tears, as everyone one by one started laughing at him by shouting the same sentence.
"Eat this! Eat quickly! You fat alien monster!" Kevin shouted as he took a sandwich in Aiden's lunchbox and forced Aiden to eat it.
His two friends pulled Aiden's hand, so Kevin could more easily launch his action so that Aiden choked.
"Cough...!" Aiden choked, a piece of bread caught in his throat.
"Wow... he's choking, let's run!" Seeing Aiden who was already helpless, Kevin and his four friends ran out of the classroom.
"Aiden, drink this!" The little blonde girl gave Aiden his water bottle.
Aiden tried to hold back his tears, he felt very ashamed of himself. Even when he came home from school the situation was not much different.
Aiden who had just gotten off the school bus, stood frozen in front of his door when he heard his mother and father screaming loudly.
"Don't worry, I will leave this house!" Shouted Aiden's mother.
"Go! I don't need a woman like you!"
Aiden was silent, he looked at the house he had lived in for 10 years of his life. Somehow he felt, his life after this would be much harder.

"Okay, good job, Aiden!" Lucas said, the photographer who photographed Aiden for an advertisement for a men's skin care brand.
After spending four hours on shooting and video shooting, Aiden's work today ended perfectly.
"You look stressed, what happen?" Chloe asked.
"Me? No, nothing!"
"So, is that just how I feel?"
"Yeah, I brought a car, so you don't have to drive me home!"
"You want to go?"
"Only to the gym, I've been skipping training for two days!"
"Did you know any models from England have started joining our agency?"
"Seriously? I don't know. Women?
"Yes, woman, they said she was very beautiful. But I didn't get to ask her name. Stacy said she had brown hair, green eyes and about 175cm tall."
"So, what?"
"You know what Stacy is like if there's a new model who says really pretty. She's going to get really nervous because she's so scared of being overtaken."
"Are women always like that?"
"Not really, I'm not like that! I've never been afraid of being rivaled by anyone. Besides, I'm self-aware, I'm not pretty, so I'd better live my life casually."
"You're beautiful, Chloe!" Said Aiden with a smile.
"Wow... you're complimenting me, huh? I'm so flattered!"
"Yeah it's fine, can I go now?"
"Why the rush?"
"It's almost four o'clock, I want to finish before evening."
"Okay, be careful, okay? Don't forget tomorrow at 10 there will be a photo shoot at the Greenewoodz building!"
"Okay!" Aiden exited the large five-story building into the parking lot where his red Lamborghini Veneno Roadster was parked.
Meanwhile in another place, a young woman who a few days ago had an argument with Aiden because of the most popular story she wrote involving Aiden.
Mr Banana whose real name is Karenina Christine Morales, a third-year student majoring in communication science at one of the universities in the city of New York.
Nina is a student from the Philippines who worked hard to be able to pursue her dream of continuing her studies in the country of her dreams and won a scholarship.
Diligent and hardworking, that's the picture of the tough woman behind the popular story "I Know You Want Me" that managed to make Aiden dizzy.
This 22-year-old girl came out of the bookstore when the sky was cloudy. She glanced at her watch, it was already 5:10 pm.
She started running when the rain started to fall to the ground. Realizing that she didn't bring an umbrella and the bus stop was quite far away, this girl decided to take shelter at a Gym Center.
"Damn, I should have brought an umbrella!" She muttered as she rubbed her wet head.
Her body shivered, considering the air in this country is much colder than her hometown which is known as a tropical country.
"Cold! Please stop quickly!" But it looks like the rain won't stop anytime soon. Watching the drops of water fall more and more heavily.
This girl peeked out of the Gym Center window, wondering if she could come in and take shelter inside. However, considering her wet clothes, it would definitely trouble the guards of this place.
A few minutes later, Aiden came out of the door to check how much rain had fallen.
The two humans stared at each other with expressions of disbelief that were strange to have met in a place like this.
"You?" Say them at the same time.
"What are you doing here?" Aiden asked, showing excessive distrust, especially considering how much he hated and resented this woman.
"I'm taking shelter, can't you see?" What are you doing yourself? Take shelter too?"
"What? Take shelter? Does someone like me deserve shelter? I'm driving a car, not a pedestrian like you!"
"Who's the pedestrian? I'm taking the bus!"
"Why don't you just take a taxi? Oh yeah, I forgot, a stingy girl like you can't possibly spend more money to pay for a taxi fare!"
"Why is your mouth so rough, huh? What grudge do you have against me?"
"What grudge? You're still asking what kind of grudge? You don't remember what you did to me?"
"What have I done to you?"
"You crazy woman, don't pretend you forgot, okay? Oh well, there's no use talking for someone like you!" Aiden walked away, ending a pointless bickering with this troublesome amateur writer.
Meanwhile, Nina who doesn't believe that there is a strange man like Aiden in this world, can only curse in her heart.
A few minutes later, a red super car stopped in front of her. The car window opened, revealing the figure of Aiden who smiled contentedly to see Mr Banana struggling to take shelter under the roof of the Gym Center.
"What do you want? Want to give me a ride?"
"What? You're too confident, Senorita! I'm just making fun of you, because it looks like you're languishing there, hahahaha..."
"Wow Aiden, your car is very nice, may I take a ride all the way to the bus stop?" Nina asked when she saw a shiny super car that made her self-esteem waver and forced her to be a sycophant.
"You're licking me, aren't you? I can't stand that kind of thing. Besides, someone like you doesn't deserve to sit in my car, you better run to the bus stop!"
"You are so arrogant, huh? How your parents raised you? Don't you feel sorry for the mom who gave birth to you until you grow up to be a human with no conscience?"
"Damn it, why is she talking about parents?" Aiden thought.
Every time he heard Mother's words, Aiden's deliberate arrogance made him feel very embarrassed. The strange attacks that almost always appear at times like this make the real Aiden come to the fore.
"Okay, I'll take you, come on in!"
"Wow... really? Thank you!" Aiden swiftly opened the car door which had been impossible for her to ride.
"My car could get wet! Clean it with this towel!" He said as he handed me a dry towel.
"Okay!"
Aiden sighed, unable to believe he had been manipulated by his enemy so easily.
"Where did you study?"
"New York University majoring in communication science!"
"I didn't ask your major!"
"Maybe you're curious about me!"
"Absolutely not! Oh yeah, what's your real name?"
"You're really curious about me, aren't you?"
"Just answer!"
"Nina!"
"Nina? Is that your real name?"
"Yes, my name is Karenina, but my friends just call me Nina."
"An ordinary name!"
"Is your name extraordinary?"
After 100 meters of Aiden's super car, the road ahead looked very congested, as if there were roadworks in the middle of a heavy rain like this.
"Wow... traffic jam, how is it?" Aiden asked, meanwhile the drenched Nina looked even paler and shivering.
"Okay, I'll just get off here! I'll walk to the bus stop."
"In wet clothes like that?"
"It's okay, thank you!"
"Hey, want to come to my apartment?"
***"What? To your apartment? What do you want?" Nina asked panicked, she spontaneously covered her chest with both hands like a potential abuse victim.Aiden looked confused, didn't understand this woman's way of thinking at all, or it was Aiden's question that made her misunderstand."What are you thinking?""What are you thinking? You're the one who suddenly invited me to your apartment in the rain! You must be looking for a chance, right?""What chance? You really-""You want some warmth, right? Pretending to help me when you want me to sway with you!""Swaying? Hey, you've been thinking too far! After all, you were the one begging for a ride with me, at first I didn't mean to help you, you remember that!""So what do you want me to do to your apartment?""Your clothes are wet and you can see for yourself, it's traffic jam right now. If we turn around, my apartment isn't far from here. I can lend you some dry clothes!""I-is that so?" She said so plain. It made Aiden feel like throwin
"Okay, thanks for your help today. I was really helped, excuse me!" Nina said who was ready to leave Aiden's house, something Aiden had been waiting for since 60 minutes ago."Yes, go home!" Aiden who had been waiting for it so much, smiled and opened the door to his house, letting go of the most troublesome guest in the world.Nina who had only taken a few steps, stopped just as Aiden was about to close the door again."W-wait!""What else?""Uhm...that, where is the nearest stop?""In front of the building, you immediately turn right and walk about 100 meters""Apparently it is far?""So, why? You want to be driven home?""Hahaha..." Nina laughed awkwardly. An onslaught of pleading gazes began to appear before Aiden's eyes.Aiden really hates this, whenever someone tries to seduce him using this method, Aiden will not be able to resist."No! You go home alone!""B-but it's late and it's still drizzling outside, don't you feel sorry for me?""Why should I pity you? You just used me f
The chubby young man walked slowly down the steps of the bus he was riding to school. From the bus stop, he had to walk 200 meters to get to the school building. "Hey, hurry up!" Shouted a young man standing behind him. Because it was quite difficult for him to balance every time he had to go down the stairs, it made him have to be careful not to fall. After his feet hit the floor, the young man who had shouted earlier was finally able to pass with an angry face. Bruuugg... Deliberately, he bumped his shoulder against the chubby teenager's body. "You fat pig!" He cursed sarcastically. Whether it's because he's used to it or what, he doesn't really care about people's ridicule of his body shape. Instead of making a fuss, he prefers to be silent and succumb. "Good morning, Aiden?" A pretty girl call him and walking behind him. "Emily, g-good morning?" Seeing this girl's sweet smile, Aiden felt that today would be better than yesterday. Tall, slim, beautiful with light brown hai
The woman smiled and her smile made Aiden remember the wound again. The woman kept her phone while walking and stopped right in front of Aiden "Aiden, you've really changed, haven't you? Not like Aiden I used to know." "What was Aiden you used to know like?" "Cute, kind and very adorable. Now you look like someone else," "Yeah, let's just say that. See you later, I still have business!" He said as he walked past Emily. "Wait!" "What is it?" "You don't want to go with me?" "Do we have the same goal?" "Yeah, don't you know I just joined the same modeling agency as you?" "You? Really?" "From now on, we will meet often, so I don't think you have any reason to avoid me anymore, Aiden!" Emily smiled contentedly as if she was waving a war flag. "I'm not avoiding you, it seems you misunderstood!" "Not avoiding me? We met three years ago at the airport, but you pretended not to know me." Emily lifted her chin with her arms folded across her chest. Her body language that seemed ar
"Damn! That greedy woman really can't be allowed to! You've been helped, she doesn't even know herself. Just be careful, if I find her, I'll throw her into the sea!" Aiden grunted in annoyance. He has been angry ever since he found out that the story cover had been replaced with a hotter photo. Moreover, the girl also did not pick up the phone from him who had called her 66 times since yesterday until this afternoon. Aiden drove his car towards Nina's apartment which he already knew since dropping her home at that time. After arriving, Aiden was looking for a place to park his car. Aidenbm was waiting outside the apartment, just like a suspicious man. He wore a black hoodie and covered his head, and black glasses too. His pacing made passers-by stare at him suspiciously. "Where is she? Has she returned from college yet?" He thought while glancing at his watch, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon. After 30 minutes of waiting, Aiden started to smell signs of the presence o
Aiden out of the bathroom wearing only a white towel that covered his hips to his knees, while his body and hair were still half wet. He looked in the mirror in front of him, staring at his reflection. Sometimes, he could hardly believe it, the figure he saw in the mirror was him. A very different figure from him 8 years ago. Drrrt... drrrt... Aiden phone rang, he immediately took his phone and opened the incoming message that Sasha had sent. "Good evening, Aiden. I've found the story we talked about yesterday. It's a great story," Sasha wrote in her message. Aiden gulped, he couldn't imagine that his colleague would read the novel too. "Haha...nice story, huh?" Aiden replied by adding a smile emoticon. Sasha returned his messages back, along with an incoming message from Stacy and this was what Aiden was most worried about. Stacy was very aggressive, without being provoked she always tried to seduce him with her body, especially when she also read the story. It must be ver
It's been 15 minutes since Aiden and Emily sat in the cafe, not a single topic of conversation popped into Aiden's head. It was awkward, that's how he felt. People say, men are creatures who can always open a chat to avoid an atmosphere like this. But Aiden different from most men. Closed and always comfortable with his solitude, although since becoming a model of such behavior has decreased a little, it still doesn't change many things in his life. "So, how are your mom and dad?" Finally, after 15 minutes of awkwardness, Aiden managed to find the first question that came to mind. "My dad is sick," "Really?" "Yes, my dad hasn't been doing much." "Your mom?" "My mom is good, Franz and Cecilia are also healthy." "Thank goodness. So, Anthony ? Are you still with him?" "No!" Emilys face turned sad, making Aiden think that something bad had happened to her. "No?" "Our engagement was called off, Anthony already has a new girlfriend." "Oh, I see ?" Aiden was silent f
Nina kept looking at Aiden who stood bowing before her. As she turned her head and looked around her, dozens of cameras snapped at her for the day's headlines. Nina was shocked, she didn't even get up even though the hands of several guards had reached out to help her up. "Miss, please stand up!" Said a man in a black suit who helped her get up. "T-thank you-" She smiled awkwardly, in front of her, Aiden tried to hold back the smile of victory over the misfortune that Nina was feeling right now. "Miss, come on in!" The man in the black suit guided her into the building so that the commotion would not escalate. Nina was asked to sit on the sofa, and even served fresh juice to reduce her nervousness. Seeing the cynical expressions of the two women standing in front of her made her realize that what she was experiencing was quite serious. "What's your name ?" Asked a middle-aged woman wearing a green blouse. "Karenina Christine Morales," She answered nervously. Moreover, see
