Amelia got down from her car and catwalked into the school.
Many eyes were on her but she doesn't even care or appreciate the praises.

Her friends joined her,April,Juliet and Jennifer.

They entered the class,the teacher is already teaching.

“ you girls are late again ” the teacher said

Amelia scoffed. “ you are paid right? So do your fucking job and let us be okay?”

The whole class gasped.

“ infact I'm not interested in attending this class today ”

She walked out and her friends followed. A boy spilled latte and coffee on her
clothes

“ OH MY GOD!!!” she yelled. “ do you know how much it cost? If you work all the
days of your miserable life,you will never have the amount ”

" I'm sorry ” he said with his head bowed. He is part of the nerdy people
“ get lost ” she pushed him and walked away.

Natalie giggled with her girls. “ hi Amelia,you have a little something on your
clothes ” she giggled again

“ just get lost Natalie ” Amelia said

“ no,you get lost ”

Amelia and Natalie are the hottest,most beautiful and rich girls in school. They're
the queen bees of the school,they wear the latest clothes,drive the most expensive
car and wear the latest shoes, earrings, necklace.

“ you are stepping on my toes Natalie,just get lost ”

“ what If I don't? What're you gonna do?”

“ you're a witch but I really don't have your time ” Amelia walked out while Natalie
clenched her fist.

“ I hate that girl so much ” She said and walked away with her own girls.

..

Amelia walked away angrily when someone bumped into her again. She looked up.

“ are you blind? Can't you see? I forgave the last time but this time, I'm not going to
forgive you nerdy fool ”

:OMG!!! He is so hot
:I think he is a new student
:Look at his lips
:I wanna kiss it so bad

:He isn't that handsome
:Shut up

“ sure ”

Amelia walked into the class with her friends

:Oh my God,she is so beautiful


:I wish I can date her
:Her lips must be so sweet
:Perverted fool

The teacher sighed,facing the board. He is used to it. “ who can solve this

and solve it ”

“ this is a biology class ” a girl said from the back

“ so? Damien solve it ”

:Handsome without brains


:He is just handsome for nothing
:Stop gossiping,see,he has solved it

The guys looked up and saw the he has solved it. The bell rang, students walked
out of class

“ I'm Natalie ” Natalie said to him

“ I didn't ask ” he said and she clenched her fist walking out.

He picked up his books and headed out.

:Announcement students, there's a party in school this night so dress nicely and
come

:I can't wait
:Me too
:I'm going to wear my best dress to impress Damien
:He is so cute
:I know right?

..

Amelia slumped on her bed and her phone beeped,she looked at it. It is a video
call

“ hi girls ” she said

“ hi Amelia,what are we gonna wear?”

“ hmmm ” she stroked her jaw. Her and her friends always wear the same clothes
to parties. “ do you still have that long floral skirt that we wore in Hawaii?” she
asked. They all nodded. “ we will wear it like a gown with a channel belt and black
boots,the belt should be gold and light make-up ” she smirked. “ we are gonna to
be the prettiest girls there ”

“ I love you so much,my fashionista friend ”

Yes, Amelia is a upcoming fashionista, she comes up with so many designs and
draws them,she wants to start her own fashion company,she want to call it

Amelia got down from her Benz together with her friends. They all have red

:I wish I can be one of them
:You can't cuz you are a nerd, they wear the latest clothes and shoes, earrings and
necklaces
:They are also beautiful
:They are
:I really wish I can hear one of them scream my name on bed
:Pervert

Amelia sat down in the VIP lodge with her friends, Natalie and her gangs came and
Amelia rolled her eyes.

“ you look beautiful today Amelia ” Natalie said

“ I know,you too ”

“ I was being sarcastic ”

“ I know so was I ” Amelia smirked

" You're annoying ” Natalie said and sat down

“ you too,I love how you were rejected by the new boy,you just throw yourself to
any one ”

“ it is none of your damn business ”

Amelia scoffed. “ I don't care anyways ”

“ let's place a bet ” Natalie said suddenly

“ what is the bet?”

“ make him fall in love with you within a year ” Natalie smirked. She knows Amelia
loves winning. “ then break up with him in public and pour a drink on him. If you
loose then you will admit that I am more prettier than you,deal?”

“ deal, what if I eventually make him love me?”

“ then, I will admit that you are prettier ”

Amelia scoffed. “ that's already obvious ”. She paused. “ you will dress like a nerd
for a whole month and eat cafeteria food,Deal?”

“ Deal,now go. Your time starts now, today's November 29 ”

“ fine ” Amelia walked up to Damien. “ Hi, I'm Amelia and you?”

Damien looked at her from head to toe. “ I'm Damien ”

“ I heard that you are new in school,how is life in school?”

“ today was my first day in school ” he said and sipped his drink. He gulped it all at
once. A waitress passed and Amelia took one glass.

“ have this ”
He looked at it. “ I'm allergic to orange ”

She looked inside the red plastic cap and threw it away.

“ sorry, I'm also allergic to it ” she said. He looked at her and smiled

“ I am also allergic to carrots,are you?” she nodded and took her lips in. “ I love
apple juice ”

“ me too ” she laughed

“ we have a lot of similarities ” he said and she nodded brushing the strands of
hair beside her ear

“ I need to go,see you tomorrow ” she said and left. Her necklace fell,she didn't
notice it.

He bend down to pick it and held it in his hand. Amelia is written on the necklace.
He smiled and put it in his pocket. He took a cab and went home staring at the
necklace.

:He's hot
:Can't he notice me?
:He is Greek god
:He is a human being and he isn't very that handsome
:Jealous freak
:I'm not jealous
:I think you are

Damien ignored all and sat down next to Amelia.

" Hello " he said trying to start a conversation


" Hi " Amelia said with her cool tiny voice. You won't notice that she has tiny voice
till she is really calm.

He smiled. " That necklace mean a lot"

" Yeah "

He returned her necklace to her earlier today.

" You're welcome "

" I didn't say thanks " she said

" Well,,,you should "

" Why?"

" Cuz "

" Fine,,, thanks " she said and put on her head phone.

The teacher entered. " I will be grouping you guys in pairs for a project "

:I wish I'm with Damien


:He is so cute
:ENOUGH!!!
:Jealous freak
:I'm not jealous, gosh!!

" Stop the whispering " the teacher said. " I've the list here so I will call it out.
Amelia and Damian "

" Excuse me but it is Damien " Damien corrected the teacher

" Isn't it the same?" The teacher asked

" It isn't Sir, I'm Damièn "

" Ooh "

..

Lunch time,the friends are on their table

" How was today?" April asked


" Good " Amelia replied eating her salads

" I'll be right back " April said and walked away.

..

April came out of the bathroom when someone bumped into her

" Are you blind?" The person snapped

" What!!? You bumped into me stupid "

" Ooh,it is you June "

" I'm not June, I'm April, Stephen "

Stephanie clenched her fist. " I'm Stephanie okay?"

" I know,get lost " April pushed her out and walked away

" I hate you " she screamed

" I hate you too " April replied

..
(Sorry for not posting since, I'm not well)

The girls entered their cars and drove off to their various houses

Amelia got home and sat down on the sofa. Her phone rang,she looked at it and
groaned

" Unknown number?" She looked at it well.

" Hi,who are you?"

" I'm Damien,you gave me your number remember?"

" Yea I do " she itch her head. " Why are you calling?"

" Cuz of our project together "

" Ion know if I will be able to do it, I'm tired " she said. She suddenly remembered
Natalie. " Nevermind,,I will do it,, come to my house "
" I can't "

" Why?"

" My motorbike spoilt "

" Then get another one " she said like it was nothing

" It cost money "

" I know " she snapped. " I'm not a fool"

" I never said so "

" Better ''

" You come to mine "

She breath out walking upstairs. " Fine,the address?" She hanged up.

" Get me water now " she said and entered her room to change.

She wore a yellow and black stripes crop top and same skirt,it is her design.

She gulped the water that the maid gave her and went outside.

Amelia halted in the front of Damien's house. She looked around with disgust

" Ewww,,I can't stay here " she said and called Damien. " Come out with your
books,I can't stay here "

" Why?"

" It is disgusting,no offense but it also smells " she held her nose

" That isn't a nice thing to say but I am coming "

" Like you have a choice "

" If I don't come then you will fail "

She scoffed. " Haven't you heard the saying that ' money rules the world '? I guess
you would have "
" What!? You will bribe your way into college?"

" I never said that " she snapped

" But....."

" Come out " she cut him shut and hanged up. " I shouldn't have accepted that
bet,,,I will have to suffer like this for a year. I can do this,I can do this,I can do this '"

" You can do what?" Damien said and she flinched

Amelia's POV

I and Damien have a project together and I went to his house but couldn't enter so I
called him out.

He came out looking at me in a questioning look.

" Just get in " I snapped

" Okay " he said after hesitating a little. He got in. " I will direct you to a quiet place
"

" Where?" I asked not believing that anywhere can be quiet in his neighborhood.

" Just drive okay?" He said looking at his phone.

Calm down Amelia, this is a bet and you must win it.

I smiled. " Sure " I said and ignited the engine. he kept directing me until we
reached a green place. It is so green that only a single beach is not green.

He opened a door that is green and we entered a more beautiful place. There are
butterflies flattering everywhere,flowers of different colors and a little pond.
I took my laptop with me taking steady step on the grass.

" Sit " he said. He was sitting on the grass.

I sat down looking around. It is really beautiful and quiet too, only birds chirping
could be heard.

" It is really quiet " I said smiling

He looked at me. " Thanks,I found it when I was five "

" Oh,,,do anyone know about this place?"

" Nope just you and I " he said facing his laptop. I smiled.

" Okay, let's start " I said opening my laptop

My phone beeped with notifications and I picked it up to check it. I checked it and
dropped it. It kept beeping till he took it silencing it.

" What is your problem?" I asked angrily. No one has ever snatched a phone from
me before like how he did.
chat martinmartino on zero eight one eighty thirty fourteen twenty one to be
added to his whatsapp group.
" Let's us work on the project. I don't want to fail "

" And do you think that I want to fail?" I asked

" Well,I don't know about you but I really can't afford to fail "

" Fine "

Damien

I glanced at her when she was busy with her laptop. She is really beautiful with
brown eyes and long black hair,her lips is so kissable.

She looked up to me and I took my gaze away. " Why are you staring at me?" She
asked

" I wasn't staring " I said

She looked at me twitching her mouth. " I don't see the reason that all the girls in
school are drooling over you "
" All?" I said looking at her

" Yes "

" Plus you " I stared into her eyes,she gulped in. Is she nervous?

" N,,,,,no, I di,,,,didn't me,,,, mean it li,,,like that " she shuttered brushing a strand of
hair from her face.

She is more beautiful when he is nervous. Before I knew it,we were kissing each
other like I will die if I didn't kiss her.

She pulled out taking her laptop and standing up.

" I'm sorry,,I didn't mean it " I said holding her wrist.

" I- - it is getting dark so I gotta go " she said trying to free her hand from my grip
but couldn't

" I lied " she looked at me. " I meant the kiss,it was my first kiss and I meant it. I
might not know you too well but you seem......okay and most of all, beautiful " I
held her hands in mine.

" Okay?" She asked. " Whatever,,I really need to go. " She removed her hands from
mine and looked at her pink apple watch. " Should I drive you home?" She asked. "
It will rain soon "

" Okay "

Amelia breathed in as she slumped on her bed. "he kissed me? Did he like me? But
why am I freaking out? It is not like it is my first kiss,calm down Amy calm down. It
is just a kiss and nothing else " she said aloud.

She stood up,went into the bathroom, showered and came back in a rope. The
clouds clapped and rain started falling.

" I knew rain will fall " she said looking outside her window.
She laid on her bed and slept off.

..

She got dressed in a high waisted, skinny jeans trousers and a sneer top with a
black sneakers. She walked downstairs

" My breakfast " she said, snapping her fingers.

Maids dropped different types of breakfast on the dinning room.

She trailed her finger on the steak and licked her finger. " Where're my parents?"

" They left very early in the morning miss "

She hummed. " Alright " she took her cutleries and ate.

She stood up from few minutes. " I'm done "

She barely ate half of the steak,and pancakes. She didn't even touch the waffles
and bacon, scrambled eggs, BBQ chicken. She stabbed the fork on a slice of green
apple and put it in her mouth before walking out.

She pulled over in the parking lot and got down sexily as ever.

The whisperings started. It is now a tradition.

She entered the class. Her friends were there.

" Hi Amy" Juliet said

" Hey " she replied and sat down

" Did you see the latest version of Chanel clothes?" April asked and the girls
nodded

" I bought the latest apple phone iPhone 15 " Amelia said proudly

" Oh my God!! I didn't know about that"

" I know everything " Amelia said

" How is your bet with Natalie?" April asked playing with the locks of her hair
" He kissed me yesterday and I kissed back. I don't know why so don't ask. His lips
are really soft and sweet " she looked at her friends. " I didn't mean it like that
okay? It was a mistake "

April hummed. " Okay ooh. If you say so "

Damien walked into the school with his hands tucked in his pocket. He entered the
class and met Amelia and her friends. He decided to go out for a little while.

He went to his locker.

" Hi " he heard a voice behind him and he turned to see.....

Damien scrunched up his face.

" Hello " the voice said again

" Hi " he replied coldly

" Do you want to hang out later?"

" Hmmm,,,,,no,,,I don't think so " he said facing his locker back

" I'm Natalie by the way " she extended a hand. He looked at it hesitating a little
before taking her in his hand.

" I'm Damièn,as you already know "

She smiled. " I know " she bit her lips seductively.

" Okay,I need to go now " he said

He walked away.
I wished he could fuck me' Natalie said inwardly. She walked into the bathroom to
ease herself when Zack entered slamming her to the wall. She gasped

" Zack, what're you doing here?" She asked

" I want to fuck you " he said simply

" In the bathroom for girls?"

" Of course,my dick kept twitching in class "

" But....." He cut her short by clasping his lips on hers. She moaned softly.

She unbuckled his belt, searching for his junior (dick). She found it. He lifted her
shirt up to her waist

" Thank God,you wore a skirt today " he said nosing on her neck.

She shoved his junior into her V area and he slammed in and out of her.

Amelia entered and smirked. They both froze.

" Hmmmmmmm,nice view " Amelia said, snapped it

" What should I do with this photo? Show it to the whole school? Or show it to the
whole world?" She added

Zack pulled out from Natalie. " Don't do this Amelia " Natalie said

" And why shouldn't I?''

'' don't just do it please "

" Oh my!! You just said please, that's great "

" What do you want?"

" Stay away from Damien "

Natalie smiled. " You like him now?"

" No,I don't. Just want nothing in my way of making him fall for me "

" You should be fast about that cuz I will let him fuck me soon "

" Let him? Or seduce him?"


" Whatever"

" I won't post the picture because of one thing "

Natalie scoffed. " Which is?"

" You are my fellow girl "

" Or maybe,you don't have the guts "

" Guts? Okay then " she tapped a button. " Posted "

Natalie scoffed. " You're lying "

Amelia looked at Zack. " Poor you!! Bye" she smiled and walked out

" Why will you tell her that?" Zack yelled

" I thought she didn't have the guts "

" Well,she did and now we are In trouble"

He walked out.

Amelia and her friends were seated in the cafeteria.

There are two cafeteria in school. One for the rich kids and the other for the lowlife
kids.

" Tell me more about Damien " Juliet said

" I don't even know him that well "

" Well,you should "


" No,she shouldn't " April said

" Why?" Asked Juliet, frowning.

" Because she can't afford to fall in love with him "

" Who is talking about falling in love? I just wanted her to know more about him "

" Exactly!!! If they both get to know each other better then they will start having a
connection which it isn't good for Amelia " April snapped

" Calm down girls. " Amelia said,both hands in the air. " I understand clearly what
you both are saying but I will really like it if you don't meddle in it. I must do
whatever it takes to make sure Damien falls in love with me " Amelia said,
determination written all over her face.

" You're right " May said. " They won't meddle but can we please eat now?"

" Foodie " April muttered.

" Thanks,I love eating "

Amelia froze,her eyes on his hand on her hand. She gulped down.

A new strange feeling enveloped her,it felt like a surge of power flowing through
her. They stared at each other eyes,refusing to look away

" Let's go to class " April said. She came and saw them staring at each other. "
Amelia " she touched her shoulder. Amelia flinched and looked up.

Damien removed his hand. " Ermmm,sure. Let's go " Amelia stood up.

" What is wrong with you?" April asked Amelia after they walked out of the
cafeteria. " Why were you staring at him?"

" I don't know but when he touched me,I felt....I don't know which word I should use
but the feeling was greatly awesome and I couldn't comprehend the feeling "

April faced her,holding her shoulders,her eyes looking gaggers at Amelia. " You
need to stop this,you are Amelia and he is Damien,you aren't in the same class at
all. "

" I know,,,"

" You should end the bet "

" No,,,,I must win this bet. I must make him fall for me "

" But you are falling instead of him. Please end these. I've a feeling that you will
get hurt at the progress "

" I am interested in going further and I will. Final!!!!"

She smirked. " She don't have the guts " she walked away.

April clenched her fist angrily. She was passing by when she heard her. She walked
into the class,sat next to Amelia.

" Can I have your phone please?" She asked.

" Sure " Amelia gave it to her. She took it, looking for the picture. She saw it and
sent it to her phone. She gave the phone back to Amelia.

Amelia's phone and the students phone started beeping signaling that there's a
news on the school website.

They brought out their phones, including Amelia. Her eyes almost came out of the
sockets. She looked at April and she was smiling, strolling up and down in her
phone.

:This is really bad


:I wish I was the one
:Ewww,that is a disgrace
:The sight still makes me cringe
:Zack is the baddest guy in school. I heard he fights and smokes and drinks
:Hmmm
:Who posted it?
:It is an anonymous account
:It can't be traced. Maybe it is just a Photoshop
(Scoffs): you like Natalie but you don't need to support her in this. I wish it was a

Natalie walked into class. All gazes was on her. She sat down in her seat
confidently.

:She is so shameless
:She still catwalked into the class. That is stupid of her
:Stop gossiping

" Why can't you guys just keep your fucking mouth shut?" She yelled again

" Maybe when you stop being a slut then maybe,, maybe they will stop maybe "
April said. Natalie faced in fury.

She marched to her. " You need to stop puking into my talks, January "

" I'm April, Nathan "

" You really have a bad mouth,you should cut it off "

" It is because you are jealous of my pretty mouth. I know you have always been
jealous of everything because you can't afford expensive clothing but don't worry,I

:Woah, that is deep


:I love April

:Hmmm, Natalie is beaten

" I thought I told you to shut up " Amelia yelled.

" You're right,I should leave a barking dog to continue barking " April said.

Natalie raised a hand to slap her but someone caught her hand.

" Stop this scene " he said.

:It is the triple D


:It is Daniel

" Let me go " Natalie said

" Okay,it is not like I want to hold you " Daniel left her hand.

The teacher came in and the students settled down.

" Submission of the project is due for next week. Exams are fast approaching
because winter is coming so read your book and submit your projects next
Monday " he said at the end of class.

He left.

Amelia turned her head and saw Damien staring at me. He smiled when their eyes
met. She looked away, standing up and leaving the class.

Damien rushed to her. " Are you okay?"

" Yeah,why?"

" You didn't return my smile "

She smiled. " Better? Now,can I go? I'm busy "

Amelia laid on her queen-size bed,looking at the ceiling.

She sighed heavily. The rise and the fall of her chest was beating so fast.

" What is wrong with me? Why am I thinking of Damien. Amelia,calm down. " She
said aloud

Her phone rang and she picked


:Hello?
:Hi,this is Damien
:Da,,,,,Damien

'why did I shutter?' she asked herself

:I might have gotten your number from the school's website


:What do you want? I'm really busy and I need to have my nap
:Our project
:Oh,,,I totally forgot. Hmmm,,,I will meet you in your house

' why did I just say that?'

:You sure?
:Of course

' stop talking '

:Alright, I'm excepting you


:I will be there

She hanged up.

" What is wrong with me? In his house? Geez,,,, Amelia,I think you are crazy " she
said to her reflection in the mirror. " Why will you do such a thing? I'm talking to
you "

A maid entered and froze. 'why is she talking to herself?' she said inwardly.

Amelia turned back and frowned. " Don't you know how to knock? Huh?"

" I'm sorry miss. I have your lunch "

" I don't need it. I am heading out "

" But you haven't had your lunch "

" You aren't my mom, don't act like you care " She snapped

" Alright "

" Get out "

The maid nodded and left.

" What should I wear?" She entered her closet,looking around.


She later picked a white crop top and a jean bum short with a white sneakers.

I don't know what is happening to me. I think I like Amelia.

My mind went back to when I gave her her necklace. She had a beautiful smile on
her face and it seems genuine.

I laid-back on the wall,waiting for her to arrive. The door bell rang and before I
could go to open the door,my sister opened it.

" Hi,who are you?" She asked into her tiny and squeaky voice

" Hmmmmmmm, I'm Amelia Montes and I'm here to......"

" Arghhhhhhhhhh " she screamed, cutting off Amelia. She is fifteen years old. " You
are Amelia Montes,the daughter of Something Montes and the fashionista "

" Yeah " Amelia replied, smiling. I love seeing her smile.

" I'm Audrey and I'm your biggest fan. I love you so much "

" Thanks,,can I see Damien?"

" Sure,,,come in "

" You came?" I decided to act surprised. I didn't want her to know that I have been
watching them.

" Yeah,can we get this over with? I'm so freaking hungry "

" You can eat with us,,my mom just finished cooking " Audrey said, smiling
" Hmmmmmmm,,,,, I'm fine "

" But you just said you were hungry " Audrey further the discussion

" Did I? It was a slip of tongue "

" Lunch is ready " Mom said from the kitchen. She walked into the living
room,drying her wet hands on her apron. Her eyes met Amelia and she smiled

" Oh my!!! She is so beautiful. She looks beautiful more than your explanation. I
see why you talk about her a lot " she said

Amelia's POV

Damien's eyes widened. " Mom,, that's enough "

I smiled. Damien tells his mom about me. Does he like me? Why do I care? I
shouldn't care

" Please, come eat with us " she said.

" I'm fine " I replied. I couldn't say that I don't want to eat because it might run my
stomach,it is a lowlife food. " I don't want to decrease the meal for you "

She slapped my shoulder. " C'mon, don't be silly. Come,,it is delicious ''

I looked around the house. It is really small,my closet is bigger than this house.

I sat down on the plastic chair. There are plastic chairs surrounding a plastic table
that foods were on.

She dished mine meal in a plate and gave it to me. I wanted to eat but she slapped
my hand.

" Let's pray first "


That hurts. But I didn't say it,I didn't want them to think that I'm a soft skin.

As I ate,the food was really sweet and delicious. I felt something run pass my leg. I
bend my head and I screamed.

" What?" Damien asked,he has a concerning look on his face.

" Rat " I simply said

" I'm sorry dear " his mom said. I hugged my legs so tightly.

" Rats lives here?" I asked but it sounded more like a sentence

" Yeah,, sorry " Audrey said,pouting sadly. I'm so scared,I have rataphobia,it isn't a
word but I think it should be.

" Should we go out and do our project?" Damien asked. I quickly nodded.

I'm sorry but I made a little change. May is Amelia's friend name but Jennifer. So it
is Juliet, April and Jennifer

Chapter 15

Damien's POV

Amelia and I walked into our secret place. Amelia and I became really close this
past couple of months.

She closed her eyes,hands spread wide and spinning. I tucked my hands in my
pocket, staring at her.

" What?" She asked when she noticed I was staring at her

I shook my head.

" Okay "

A butterfly perched on her and she gasped silently. She stretched her hands like
she wants to fly and more butterflies perched on her.
..

After playing with the butterflies,she sat down next to the pond.

" What's next?" I asked

She gave a half-shrug. " I dunno,,what do you suggest?"

I hummed softly, stroking my jaw. " I don't know "

She chuckled. " Ok then,, let's stay in silence "

" Alright "

She was throwing stones in the pond. Minutes passed away and became hours.
The sun was setting.

" Aren't you hungry?" I asked

She looked at me. " Sure I am "

" Let's go eat then "

We went outside and hopped on my bike. I didn't mention,she bought me a power


bike and gave my mom a new apartment,my sister a iPad. She said it was a gift
from her to us.

She held me on my waist as I rode to a restaurant downside.

I halted and she came down. We went into the restaurant and sat down.

" You will love it here " I said when I saw her staring around

The waitress came to us. " What will you like to have?"

" The usual " I said. " For both of us "

The waitress smiled and left. She came back few minutes and dropped our orders
on our table.

" Ramen? Is your usual?" She asked

I nodded. " Yeah but it isn't just ordinary ramen,it is improved " I said, smiling at
her. She nodded

" Alright,, let's see "


Amelia's POV

Damien and I entered his secret place. We became really close couple months
ago.

I noticed he was staring at me somehow. " What?"

He shook his head negatively.

..

We were now in a Italian restaurant downside. We ordered ramen noodles,but he


said it is improved

I shoved a chopstick full of ramen in my mouth, chewing it gently to notice the


changes when it hit me. It is really really really spicy.

" Water " I said under my breath

" No, don't drink water just continue eating. It is better that way " he said, shifting
the bottle of water farther from me.

" Please Damien " I pleaded

" Listen, just eat more. I promise you will enjoy it "

I ate more,the hotness increasing but it added to this taste and in no time,I was
done.

I took the bottle water and gulped it all in one goal.

" Let's go. You are sweaty,I will take you to ice cream parlor next door " I nodded
and stood up.

" I'll pay " I said, bringing out the cash from my bag

" No,I will "

" But,,,"

" No buts " he cut me shut

" okay " I gave up the argument. There's seriously no need to argue with him.

He paid and we walked out. We entered another place next to it and sat down.
" Good day and welcome to Kim's Ice cream parlor. What will you like?" The owner
said. She was a blonde lady of twenties,I think. She is really attractive.

" What're the specials?" I asked

" We don't have specials miss " she said

" What?!" I asked but it came out as a yell. Damien touched my hand on the table.

That seems to calm me down a lot. I breathe in. " Sorry " I said for the first time in
my life to a lowlife. It just came out from nowhere even Damien looked shocked. "
What?" I asked him and he shook his head, smiling. I love his smile so much.

" We will have Sundaes " Damien said

" Which flavour?" She asked

" Vanilla,strawberry and chocolate " Damien said. Those are my favorite flavors.
He knows me too well.

She went behind the counter but came out immediately. " Sorry but we have only
one bowl "

" What?! What do you call this? A business?" I asked, visibly angry. I stood up but
Damien held my wrist.

" Sit Amy " he said. I sat down.

" We will have it " Damien said

" Why don't we just go to another parlor?" I asked, unwilling to stay here again

" It is rude " he replied simply.

" You mean I'm rude?" I asked,tears burned my eyes.

" No Amy "

" Don't! Don't call me Amy. Only loved ones call me that and obviously you are not
part of them " I snapped

He flinched. He must have been taken aback by my words. " I didn't say that
Amelia,,I meant it is rude to come into one's place of business,order something
and leave"
" But she has only one bowl "

" We can manage it. You can't finish a whole bowl of sundae. Their bowls are huge
"

" I don't,,,," I was cut short by the huge bowl in front of me. It is really huge just like
he said.

" Here, I'm sorry for the inconveniences miss. I promise to have more bowls and
make some specials. Here is some sprinkles " she said, dropping two containers
of sprinkles. I felt bad now,her sad face and her sad eyes.

" No, don't be,, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have snap at you like that. I hope you can
forgive me "

" Of course miss,,I forgive you. I'll go now" she smiled and left

" My good girl " Damien said

He called me his? He just called me his!! No Amelia,this is just a bet and you will
keep it like that. Don't fall for him. I gave myself a stern talking to and then smiled
at him

Amelia's POV

I was in the pool, sipping on my wine when my friends came.

" Hi girls " I waved. " Long time, wanna join me?"

" Of course,it is long time because you keep hanging out with him " April said

" Who? Damien?" I asked


" Yeah,him " she replied

I came out. " I need to hang out with him so he can fall in love with me "

" Oh really? Are you sure you it is not the other way around?"

" What do you mean?" I asked

" That maybe you are falling for him instead "

" Stop it April,why are you jealous?" Jennifer said

She scoffed, laughing. " Me? Jealous? No, I'm not jealous. Why will I be?"

" I dunno "

" Then mind your business " she snapped

" Enough " I said. " Don't fight here,, I'm fed up with you, April. You're my friend and I
thought you will support me "

" That is exactly what I am doing,,I don't want you to fall in love with him. He
doesn't deserve you "

" No,,I don't deserve him. I am busy playing with his heart " I said

" Why don't we change the topic?" Juliet said

" Why should we do that?" April asked. " You girls aren't telling her what is right, I'm
telling her. Please Amelia,, we've been friends since kindergarten and I love you so
much,,you will get hurt at the end of all this. Just end it " she said,my hands in
hers.

" I can't,I love winning and especially against Natalie " I said, removing my hand
from hers

" Don't say I didn't tell you " she said and left

" There's a frat party,are you coming?" Jennifer asked. " We are all going "

" Definitely,I won't miss it " I replied

Damien's POV

I got a text from Daniel saying that there is a frat party by nine pm.
I got dressed in a jean trousers and red shirt with a blue leather jacket.

I hop on my bike. I will confess my feelings to Amelia today at the party. I can't
keep holding it in anymore.

..

I entered the frat house. My ears met with the blaring music.

I walked further in and saw Amelia and her friends laughing and dancing. Her
smile was the brightest,her hair in braids and her earrings dangling on her ear.

Lil Nas x songs was playing when I went to her.

" Can we dance?" I asked

" Sure " she smiled

We went to the dance floor. The song changed to Like my father by Jax.

" Amelia " I called

" Yeah " she replied

" Can I ask a question?"

" You already did " she teased

" No, I'm serious "

" Alright,ask "

I gulped in. " Will you be my girlfriend?" I asked

Her eyes widened. " Me? Your girlfriend? Hmmm,,,I don't know "

I nodded. " It is fine "

I thought she loved me too,or did she friend zone me?

Amelia's POV

I breathe in countless times as I tried to realize why I ran out.

" You were pathetic,it looks like the bet is going to be in my favor " I heard an
awfully familiar voice. I didn't have to be told that it was Natalie.

I turned to her, folding my hand. " No,I wasn't pathetic and you must know the
saying " slow and steady wins the race " I am going to win the bet and Damien's
heart "

" I'd like to watch you try " she smirked

" Take a look at yourself,,you are disheveled " she added. " Tsk tsk tsk,,I really pity
you Amelia because I smell victory near me "

I scoffed. " You can smell Victoria for all I care "

" I don't think you will win so just admit that I'm prettier than you "

" I will be lying if I said that and I can't offend my God. " I said. " And one more
thing, learn not to pessimistic about everything " I wiggled my fingers signaling
bye and left.

I saw Damien about to hop on his bike. I ran to him.

" Listen Damien " he looked at me. " What happened in there was,,,,"

" I take it back,I didn't mean to say that " he said.

My heart broke in a million pieces. My eyes became glassy but I held the
unreasonable tears in.

" Really? You didn't mean it,but you weren't drunk "

" I know but that word wasn't for you,,I want to ask a girl out and I practice on you.
I'm sorry"

I scoffed. " Sorry? You're a jerk,,how could you do something like that? I thought
you meant that? I saw the way you stare into my eyes, you can't deny that you
didn't meant that " I snapped

" I didn't okay?"


" Okay then,tell me ' the girl ' you want to ask out?" I said sarcastically.

He looked around and went to a girl, clamping his lips on hers. He pulled out and I
saw her face. It has a smirk on it - Natalie's smirk. She is Natalie - the rude and
ugly Natalie.

I clenched my fist and went into my car in anger.

Damien's POV

Amelia friend zoned me,she really did friend zone me.

I walked out of the club to my bike. As I was about to hop on,she came to me.

After we said somethings,I kissed Natalie. I felt disgusted but I had to do it


anyways.

Before I turned back,she was gone.

" Hey hottie,,you should tell me whenever you want to kiss me so I will be prepared
for your tasty lips "

I looked at her in ultra disgust. " You should take away from me. I hate your guts "

" But you kissed me first "

" It was a mistake, let me be " I said and hop on my bike. Rain started pouring
heavily.

I rode speedily on the road when I saw a silhouette - very familiar. I rode to the
silhouette's figure and it was Amelia.

She rolled her eyes.

" Get on " I said

" Why would I?" She snapped


" You're stubborn just get on "

She continued walking. I got down from my bike and stand in front of her. She
looked to the side.

" You're wet, I'll drive you home. "

" I don't want your help,, I'm fine " she squeezed.

I smiled. " You're not " I removed my jacket and put it around her. " I'm sorry for
saying that okay? "

" So,you meant it?" She asked.

" Did you mean it?" She asked again when I didn't answer.

She looked in my eyes like she was looking for something. The rain increased,
making her start to shiver.

" I meant it " I said

" You don't have to lie about it,say the truth "

" I do but you don't want to,,,,," she cut me shut with a kiss. Her hand hugging my
neck, still kissing me. I snaked my hand to her waist, pulling her closer. There was
so many emotions in the kiss.

" I meant it but you didn't,,,," I cut him off with a kiss. I felt his hand on my waist.

" You should get into a shade " he said after he pulled out

" I know " he climbed on his bike. " Hop on "

The rain stopped.

After he drove into my house. He pulled the brakes.

" I'll go in " I said, after I got down.

He held my wrist. " About what I asked about,I wanted to know about your answer
"

" What did you think that kiss meant?" He looked at me, cluelessly.

He is so innocent,I feel bad doing this to him.

" I don't know '' he said

" Then ask again " I said, smiling

" What?"

" The question you asked in the club. Don't you remind?"

" Will you be my girlfriend?"

" Yes " his eyes dimmed.

" Seriously?" He asked

I nodded. He smiled, pulled me into a hug. He then kissed my hair. My heart


swelled with joy, he just kiss my hair.

" I love you '' he said

I looked at him.

" You don't have to say it now,say it when you are ready " I nodded slowly. " I've to
go now,,bye " he pecked my forehead and hopped on his bike.

I wore a white shirt and jean bum short with white converse shoes.

Yesterday when I saw driving,my car broke down so I used my legs to trek when he
saw me on the road.

I wanted to enter another car when Damien drove in with his bike.

He was wearing a white tee and jean trousers with white sneakers. We were
matching outfits.

I smiled. " Hi " I said

" Hello,how are you doing?" He asked

" Good and you?"

" Great because I have a pretty girlfriend that is wearing matching outfits with me "

He noticed. I never thought he will handle it.

When we arrived at school and I pulled out. I expected her to run in or something
but she interlock her hand in mine, smiling.

:Are they dating?


:They look so cute together
:They're very matching outfits

I continued hearing the comments from girls as we walked in the hallway.

..

During lunch time,she was eating with her friends but our gaze met each time,
whenever I catch her staring,she will look away blushing.

" Your girlfriend is looking cuter today " Daniel said

" Thanks " I replied

" She should wear more of this clothes everyday,she is looking hot " David said
" What?!" I nearly shouted

" Relax bro,I am not talking about your girlfriend,, I'm talking about April "

I breathe out.

" Overprotective huh?" Daniel smacked my side

" No,I am not " I snapped

" Then jealous?" Daniel asked again, wiggling his brows in a annoying way.

" Maybe " I muttered

School closed and I walked to my bike when I saw Amelia and Natalie talking,I
thought they weren't friends.

I walked to them and put my hand around Amelia's shoulder. She flinched when I
made contact with her.

" Shua shua " Natalie said and left

" What was she saying to you?" I asked

" Ermmmm,, nothing "

" But,,,,"

" Nothing okay? You're my boyfriend not my father " she rasped.

" I heard from a little birdie that you and Dammy are dating " she said

" Dammy? Who is Dammy?" I asked

" Your new boyfriend,who else?" She asked

" Ooh, Damien. Yes,we are dating and so?" I folded my hand

" I am so happy for you " she said, sarcastically. " I hope the relationship last until
next year that you will break his little and fragile heart " she smirked wickedly.

I felt a hand on my shoulder and I flinched in fear.

It was Damien. She left

" What was she saying to you?" He asked

" Ermmmm,, nothing " I shuttered, brushing a strand of hair from my face

" But,,,,"

" But nothing " she snapped. " You're my boyfriend not my father "

He looked at me shocked and taken-aback. I took several deep breaths.

" I'm sorry for asking " he said, walking away.

I walked to his front. " I am sorry,Damien. I didn't mean to snap at you "

" You didn't just snap "

" I'm sorry,,It won't happen again,I promise " I mumbled

I looked at his eyes,it still have the warmth in it. I gave him a puppy dog eyes and
pouted sadly.

" I am sorry boyfriend, will you pwease forgive me?" I said like a child asking for
another chocolate.

He smiled. " You should talk like that more "

" Really?" I smiled

" Uh huh,,you even look cuter this way "


I feigned a frown. " You mean I wasn't cute before "

" No no,,I didn't mean that " he said. I smiled.

saw that she was trying to seduce him.

I clenched my fist angrily. How dare she? How dare she flirt with my boyfriend? I
walked to them.

I kissed Damien immediately I got to them. He froze but then kissed back. When I
pulled out,he still has a shocked look.

" What was that for?" He asked

" Nothing, can't I kiss my boyfriend?" I asked him

I looked at the waitress and her face was sad. " W...what will you like to order?"
She asked, shuttering

I smirked. " Slow-cooked chicken with brown rice and avocado for both of us "

" And the drinks?"

" Sparkling wine " I replied

She nodded and left.

My gaze fell on Damien. He was giving me one kind of look.

" What?" I asked

" Why did you do that?"

" Don't you try divert the topic "

" Okay fine,I didn't like the way she was flirting with you and giggling like a horse " I

" No, I'm the only child "

" Do you like being the only child?" I asked again

" Yes, I love it. No disturbance for me "

I looked at her in a really look. She shrugged. " I can't believe you just said that "

" What? It doesn't mean anything " she said, nonchalantly

" You said siblings are disturbances, that isn't right "

She scoffed. " You can't tell me what is right or wrong. I hate corrections "
I stood up. " I'm leaving "

She groaned. " This is the reason I hate dating. It is so stressful "

I shook my head sideways, walking to the waitress to pay.

" She has paid " she said

" When?"

" Before she came, she Venmo it " she said.

I smiled and nodded then walked away.

She was waiting outside near my power bike, operating her phone so engrossingly.

I cleared my throat and her phone fell to the ground. She looked at me, pissed and
angry.

" I'm sorry " I said

She rolled her eyes. " Yeah,of course. Can sorry buy that phone? That is the latest

" You want us to break up? " I asked, unbelievably.

" I'm asking you "

" Well, you shouldn't be asking me that " I snapped

" Why? Why shouldn't I ask you, Miss Montes?" He snapped back

He have never snapped at me before, he must be very angry. We can't break up

" Loved? I still love you, Amelia but we aren't in the same class. We aren't made for

" So, are we ex now?" I asked

Rain started pouring heavily from the sky. I loved it because it hid my tears from
him. I looked at his eyes for a clue that he really wants to break up with me. I
squeezed and started shaking due to cold.

He removed his jacket, attempting to put it on my shoulders. I shifted my


shoulders. " I don't want it

" You're cold "

" I don't need it, OK? Just answer my dang question " I retorted, angrily

The rain kept falling incessantly until she reached her house. She was completely

A maid rushed to her, covering her with a long, fluffy blanket. She fainted.

" HELP!!! PLEASE HELP ME!!! MISS HAS PASSED OUT " The maid yelled and a
second, the maids and guards surrounded Amelia.

Damien entered the living room and gasped. " What happened to her?" He asked,

He carried her in a bridal style to her room which he was led to.

He dropped her on the bed, staring at her. Her body was still so cold and wet.

Amelia turned on the bed later at midnight. She felt her hand in someone's hand.
She looked at the person and frowned.

She jerked her hand away and that woke up the person up.
" Get Out!!" She yelled

" I can't, it is late " Damien said

" This is my house " she said

" It is midnight "

" I don't care, just leave this premises okay? I don't want to look at your face " she
turned back.

" Ame......" He stopped his words and left.

..

As he was riding his bike in the rain. The rain didn't stop or reduce.

He took a swift turn and a truck hit his bike, falling him down. He passed out with
his head bleeding.

The truck driver called ¹¹and threw his phone away in the river before driving off
leaving Damien there to loose more blood.

Amelia's POV

I frowned as I stare at my broken phone. I used that for a few months and it is
broken.

It rang and I picked but didn't put it on my ear.

:Hello

:This is St Paul hospital and your friend was in a accident

:What! Which of them?


:His ID says Damien so I guess he is Damien. You were his last call

:What?! Damien was in an accident. Is he fine?

:Yeah, he is but he lost a lot of blood and need a donator

:I will there immediately

..

I reached the hospital.

" Where is he? Is he alright?"

" Yes, he needs two pints of blood for him " the nurse I spoke to said

" Hmm,,,how much is it?"

" One million "

" For both?" She nodded. " Okay, I'll give you two million for all the expenses. Can I
see him?"

" No, he is being operated on right now "

I nodded.

I caused this! I caused it, I shouldn't have told him to leave, I shouldn't. If anything
happens to him,I won't forgive myself. I bit my nails nervously for the first time in
history.

" He is stable now " the doctor said

" Thanks a ton doc, can I see him?"

" No, he needs rest "

" Okay, then I will come back later to see him. His family will be on way soon "

" Okay "

" Take care of him. It is the mayor's order " I lied

" Ok miss "


I left.

..

I reached school late. Classes were already going on. We were in class and the
teacher wasn't in.

" You're late Amy " April said

" I'm sorry, I was busy "

" Ever since you started dating Damien, you don't have our time anymore " Juliet
said

" Thank God, you noticed " April returned

" I'm sorry girls but we aren't dating anymore, we broke up "

" What!?" The trio yelled, simultaneously looking at me quizzically.

" Don't be skeptical about it, do you think I can't break up with him?"

" No, not that. It is just that you really like him, it shows in your face whenever you
see him. I wanted to avoid this " April said

" I don't like him......or maybe I do. I don't know but it hurts like crazy during the
break up time "

" How was it?" May asked

" Cold and hot " I replied

" I'd like to understand you well " she said


Shared on whatsapp by Martino
" I was literally shivering and feeling hot inside.... literally "

" There are two literallys there "

" Yeah, to show how literally I felt. I need to go check up on him during lunch "

" Won't you eat?" April asked

" I'm not feeling hungry "

" Awwwn, our Amy is in love " she said


" No I'm not "

" Our April is also in love with Danny " May said

" Who is Danny?" I asked

" Her first kiss. He is Daniel, Damien friend "

" Oh my! How was it?" I asked

" Cold and hot " April replied in my voice

We all laughed

..

I walked into Damien's ward and he was talking to his mom. They excused me to
talk to him.

" Hello Damien " I said

" Hi " he icily said. His voice has never been this cold to me before.

" I'm sorry for sending you out in the rain, I wasn't thinking of what might happen "

" You clearly weren't thinking at all. You need to calm down sometimes "

" I will. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have overreacted like that. I guess I...I... I guess I just
ermm...... "

" You just what?"

" I guess I.....ermmm.....I love you too "

His eyes widened, he blinked rapidly as he tried to digest what I said.

He opened his mouth to talk when the doctor walked in.

I left the ward to go home after giving his mom some money she refused but I
insisted and she collected it.

*Two weeks later*

Damien is back to school after he recovered. He stayed away from Amelia...well,


they stayed away from themselves

Amelia went home after the incident that she told him she loves him and was so
mad at herself. So, she avoided him.

#cafeteria

The students were eating and chatting in the cafeteria. Natalie and her girls
walked to Amelia's table.

Amelia groaned while rolling her eyes. " What is it?"

" A little birdie told me that you and Dammy aren't dating anymore " Natalie said

" Dammy? Who is Dammy?"

" Damien "

" Oh, who told you that? I'm still dating him "

" Really? I don't believe you "

" I don't need you to believe me, okay?"

" I knew that you will loose the bet, get ready to say I'm beautiful and dressed like a
nerd for a month "

" That wasn't part of the plan " she snapped

" Yeah, change is constant " she smirked. " Go kiss your boyfriend "

" What?!" Amelia snapped.

" You said you're still dating him, right? So kiss him "

" I'm doing this because I want to not because you are telling me ". She said and
walked to Damien and kissed him. He froze when her lips met his. He missed the
feeling of her lips against his but they are over now so it doesn't matter whether he
still misses her.
She pulled out and left. He followed.

" What was that about?" He asked in the hallway.

His phone dinged and he opened the message.

:I'm sorry

He looked at her. " Why? And why aren't you talking?" He asked

:Was the kiss so bad?

" I didn't say it was bad but..." His phone dinged

:So you like it?

" Stop, Amelia. We broke up,,,you broke....." He was cut short by a kiss.

" What's happening?" He queried

" Don't you like me again?" She asked

" I did,,, I mean I do but....."

" Then let's start dating again, what do you say?"

" Are you pulling my legs? You broke up with me and now want to get back again.
Do I look like a joke to you?" He snapped and left her there.

Days passed and turned into weeks. Damien was feeling bad for snapping at
Amelia so he decided to ask her over for dinner at his house using Audrey.

..

Amelia agreed to attend the dinner and prepared for it. She was opted in a rainbow
hoodie and high waisted skinny jeans with white sneakers.

She rang the doorbell and Damien opened the door.


" Welcome " he said

" Thanks " she walked in. Audrey hugged her.

" I missed you so much. I'm glad you could come "

" Anything for my number one fan "

" Is Damien your number one fan?"

" No, he isn't. "

" But he is the one that told me to invite you over "

" Audrey, mum needs you in the kitchen " Damien said. Amelia turned to him and
smiled

" You could have just done it yourself, I would have still come. What happened
can't stop us from being friends "

" I wanted to apologise and ask you something "

" What?"

" I'm sorry for snapping at you, I was just upset "

" I understand " she assured

" Okay, will you be my girlfriend,,,, again?"

She looked in his eyes. " Are you serious?"

" Yes but I understand if you don't..." He was shut up by a kiss

" Of course, I will be your girlfriend " she squealed, jumping up while hugging him.

He smiled and kissed her on her hair. " I love you "

" I love you too " she said, staring at his eyes.

#months later

Christmas was fast approaching as the students of Greenville High studied for
examination. The leisure time wasn't fun for them again because it was shortened
to thirty minutes. The library became crowded as the students always wants to
read especially the final year students.

Amelia started to study with her boyfriend; Damien. She really wanted to pass this
year exams because Damien said he had a gift for her if she passes.

She sometimes studies on her own. Her friends noticed her unusual behavior and
asked her but she always gave her normal reply which is. " Everything is alright. I'm
fine as you can see "

They soon left her to get weird behavior. April and Daniel are seldom going on
dates and David have found the girl of the bar and he starting to like her.

The day for the examination finally came. The students had the mostly serious
face ever. Normally, they will be chattering about non-stop trends or unnecessary
things.

Amelia was in a empty class, studying. She had the bottom tip of the pen in her
mouth and eyes on a book.

" Hi babe " she heard the lovely voice that she adores. She looked up with a broad
smile on her lips. " You're studying, nice ". He winked.

He was in a all black outfit. His hair touching his forehead.

" When you are done checking me out, can I sit?" He adds

Her cheek lit up in a bright red color as she tries to hide it.

" You're blushing,,, again " he says. He took his seat next to her, taking her hand
into his. He raised her head up with his other thumb. " Your cheeks are gonna blow
up one day if you keep on blushing "

She frowned. " It is your fault for being so hot " she defends herself.

" And whose fault is it that you're beautiful? Huh? " He asked
" I dunno, maybe God " she said

" I think so too. Thanks for coming into my life "

" You came into mine actually " she corrected

" Whoever did the coming, I don't care. You've been like a ray of sunshine in my life,
I'm never going to leave you, I promise "

" You do?" She asked unbelievably.

" I won't. I love you "

She smiled. " I love you too "

I looked into his eyes and it tells me everything.

He loves me, this guy right in front of me loves me and I love him too.

I've always thought that the word was just a word but now I know, it's more than a
word, it is a feeling of emotions that I can't explain.

I wrapped my hands around his neck but not too tightly. " You're the best boyfriend
ever " I said to him.

He grinned. " I'm honored " he says. I slowly close the gap between us to kiss him
but a sound of someone clearing their throat stopped me. I looked and I felt my
happiness vanish.

It was Natalie standing in the class with a big smirk on her face. What does she
want? I am too busy to talk with her.

I unwrapped my hands around him and stood up. " Let's go to the hall, the
examination will soon start " I said to my boyfriend. He nodded and stood up.

As we tried to leave, she held me back. I signalled to Damien to leave us alone and
he did after much pleasing.

He is such a nice boyfriend, he doesn't want to leave me with a witch.

" What do you want?" I immediately snapped when he was out of sight.

" I think you have been too distracted lately so I just wanted to remind you about
the bet " she said nicely. A feeling of nauseous came upon me as she was acting
nicely. It irk my skin, it is her to talk nicely at all.

" Which bet?" I asked cluelessly.

What's she talking about? Which bet?.

" The Dammy bet " she answered

" Will you quit calling my boyfriend Dammy? It is annoying, and which....." My voice
stopped. I just remembered, it is the bet, how could I forget? Oh my! I'm I'm love

Amelia's face was colorless, her mind racing an unstoppable run.

" I hope you didn't forget " Natalie's voice dragged her back to reality.

Amelia faced her trying to put on a normal face. " I didn't f-forget ". She folded her
hands, walking towards Natalie. " It's not even up to the time limit so why are you
informing me? "

Natalie smirked. " I just can't wait to have him when he is broken by you "

" That won't work, he is mine "


Natalie scoffed, laughing. " He is yours? I didn't know that. I didn't see your name
plastered on his forehead "

" Get lost " she ordered

" No, I won't. Your father is the the mayor not the owner of this school, even if he
is, I won't leave as per your instruction. You're not my mom "

" Fine, I will leave ". Amelia said and left.

Amelia was walking to her car when a hand wrapped around her waist. She inhaled
the cologne and smiled.

" Hey " he whispered into her ear. He turned her around. " Why weren't you
concentrating on the exam?"

" I wasn't? I didn't notice " she muttered

" Are you okay?" He asked, looking into her eyes.

She began to tear up, her face getting red and her eyes glassy.

" What's it?" He asked again.

" I--i Nat-- Natalie and I p-p-placed a---"

" Hi Amelia " April yelled from far cutting her from completing her word. She ran
towards them. " Where were you? I've been looking everywhere for you, hi Damien.
"

" Hi " he responded

" I wasn't anywhere " Amelia responded too

" Um whatever, Daniel asked me out and I don't know what to say. I wanted to ask
you since it had been ten months of your dating life "

" I don't know but if you like him say yes, that's all I can say. I have to go "

" Are you okay?" April asked

" I'm also asking the same question, she is acting strange " Damien said and left.

" What is it?" April asked, holding her hand. " I'm your friend right?"
" Natalie, Natalie is the problem. I completely forgot about the bet and she
reminded me today "

" So..?"

" I love Damien " Amelia snapped

" So, call it off " April suggested

" I can't, I still have a lot of time but I am a bad feeling about this. A really bad

It is our Christmas holiday season and we are all at home. Audrey have been
saying it won't snow, the weather isn't even cold.

It is just one week to Christmas and no sign of snow.

The week went with the breeze or maybe because I was always video calling
Amelia, whatever.

It is Christmas Eve and I can't wait for tomorrow itself.

I looked at the time and it was 9:00pm, just two more hours. I can't wait.

I decided to go through my phone as I was less busy. I went to TikTok to watch a


few videos.

I laughed and checked the clock and gasped. It is 11:45 pm. I didn't notice, time
really flies.

A message popped in my screen, it is a video from an unknown number. I tapped it


to play.
Tears swelled In my eyes uncontrollably. This is a lie right? It isn't true.

I am a bet, she don't actually love me.

I sent her a message. I tapped her name on my messages app.

I took my phone to send a message to Damien when his message entered.

I tapped it and gasped. " We are over? We are over? He can't do that "

I called him several times but he wasn't speaking.

He can't do this to me, he just can't.

I paced around my room still trying his phone but he wasn't answering.

What could have happened? Why would he want to break up just like that?

***

I quickly took my bath and dressed up in a simple outfit. A jeans trousers and a t-
shirt.

I took my car keys before leaving my room.

My parents were downstairs in front of the Christmas tree. I wish I can stay but I
need to get to the root of this.
I managed to sleep a little last night, I couldn't stop thinking of the message.

" Amy, where to?" Mum asked

" Erm-- I wanted to go see Damien " I replied

" Your boyfriend can wait, celebrate Christmas with your family "

" I'll be back soon, I promise " I said hoping she will change her mind.

" No dear, you can't. It is Christmas, enjoy it with your family. " Dad said

I heaved a sigh and checked my wristwatch. " I'll be back in one hour time please
let me go " I pleaded

" Let her go, her boyfriend might be waiting ". Mum said, looking at Dad.

He nodded. " One hour only ". He said and I smiled.

I rang the doorbell many times impatiently.

There were Christmas decorations all over the place but I wasn't here for this.

The door opened and Audrey's figure came out.

" Hi, come in ". She said

" Thanks ". I walked in. " Where's your brother?" I asked

" Merry Christmas to you too " she said

I facepalmed myself. " Merry Christmas, I'm sorry Audrey, I just really need to
speak to Damien "

" His room. He hadn't come out since "

" Thanks "

I ran upstairs and entered his room without knocking.

He was standing in frontthe mirror, buttoning his shirt.

" What do you want?". He asked icily.


What did I do? Why is he behaving this way?

" I ask again, what do you want?"

" Can you at least face me when talking?" I asked

He scoffed. " Why face you? That same face that deceived me, why will I want to
face it?"

A tear dropped from my eyes. " I don't understand "

He turned swiftly and caged me to the wall. " YOU DECEIVED ME!!!". He yelled

I flinched. " N-no, you--i don't get "

He released me and walked slightly away from me.

I watched the video, my eyes widened in shock.

" W-who sent you this?" I asked

" An anonymous number " he replied

It was the video of when I was making the bet. Who could have sent it to him? I
still had a year to go.

" Get out " he added

" What?! You can't do that "


" Why can't I? You aren't my girlfriend anymore "

" Damien, you can't break up with me over a text and not even with three words. I
thought you said you loved me "

" I did, I really did loved you. A lot. But you didn't, all this time, I was just a bet and
nothing else "

" I love you, Damien. I really do and you aren't a bet "

" Get out please, just leave " he said

The gate opened and tears rushed down from my eyes.

" I'm sorry, Damien. Please forgive me, I really do love you "

" I don't anymore, we are over and I don't ever want to see your face "

I wiped the tears away. " You won't see it again ". I ran out of his room and ran
downstairs

" Amelia, come join us " his mom said

" No thanks, enjoy your meal " I managed to say and left.

I reached home and ran to my room to cry out all my tears.

I slumped on the bed with my stomach and started crying.

After some minutes, I stood up and went to my closet. I packed my clothes inside
a luggage.

Mum entered my room and looked at me quizzically.

" I want to go stay with aunt in Switzerland, it must have snowed there, I wanted a
white Christmas "

" Really?" She asked, inspecting my face. " Sure, you can go. "

" Thanks, I'm leaving ". I pecked her cheek and left my room with my luggage.

around in pieces. " I'm broken like this mirror ". He said

His mother rushed in. " DAMIEN!!! WHAT HAPPENED?!". She yelled from the door.
She looked at him from head to toes. " You got injured, why?". She walked in and
brought out a first aid kit from the cupboard.

" I'm fine, mom ". He muttered

" No, you aren't fine. Don't tell me that, I'm your mother and you can't lie to me ".
She said. His hand was in hers and she was treating it.

" Mom, I broke up with Amelia ". He broke the new.

" What? Why?" She asked

" She,,,,,,"

" Cheated?" She cut him off.

will regret it.

My brother also fell in love with a girl in highschool, things happened in college
and he broke up with his girlfriend. He regretted it but it was too late, she moved

I was in my house, reading a novel when he called.

" Downstairs?"

" Yeah, the garden "

" Ooh, okay "

I went downstairs.

He had his back at me. " Just come "

" How do you know I was here?" I asked, walking forward

" I just know your scent " He replied

" Hmm, what do you have for me?"

" Close your eyes "

" Okay ". I closed my eyes then I felt a metal on my neck. He whispered 'open' and I
