In Love With My Rival

ᴘʀᴏʟᴏɢᴜᴇ

. . . . .

I was known as the good girl. The girl your parents asks you to be friends with. The girl parents use to compare their children with. The girl with the beauty and amazing figure. The girl with the amazing school results. The girl who's always smiling and happy.

But behind closed doors I have nothing. I'm empty and hollow as a shell. I am the girl with secrets that'd make you flee. Secrets that'd make you hide.

No one knows anything as I always had my facade up. My friends, my family or even my enemies. The illusion and image that's plastered on my face or in my life was what everyone was seeing. No one knows except one. The one who ensures I don't find happiness, the one who makes sure I give my all.

My rules are;
• ensure no one knows your secrets.
• make sure everyone is safe.
• don't fall in love because it makes you weak.
• stay away from trouble.
• ensure rule 1 and 2 are followed.

I'm Darya and this is my story and I'm already finding myself breaking rule #3 because of a certain Ethan.

. . . . .

She's always intrigued me. I'm not the kind who gets stunned or fazed by people but I find myself wanting to know more about her.

I won't say it's love though more of curiosity? but how would I know when I've never fallen in love. But I know it's more than just inquisition.

I couldn't care less about the new girl in school but when she brings out my competitive side, I see there's more to life than math and games.

My emotions were starting to crack and I don't like the thought of that. But one thing I know is that I must find out what's keeping her always scared and alert.

I'm Ethan and this is my story or am I just a side character? Well who knows.
