Complicated Fate

Chapter 2

C H A S T I T Y:

The ride in the taxi is a bit long but I managed to arrive at the airport at 10:30AM. My flight was at 11 AM, heaving a sigh of relief as I notice that I almost didn't make it.

I hurriedly went out of the taxi as well as the driver after I paid and he went to get my luggage.

I went over to the entrance for security check and right after redirected to the waiting area. Minutes have passed and the airport again re-announces that the plane has arrived and we'll be on our next queue.

You might be wondering where I will be heading although, Aunt Lucy and Uncle Fred knows I'll be going home but honestly, I'll be surprising my boyfriend Chance as it's our second year anniversary today.

This is all what it's about. Waking up early in the morning which is honestly not my thing. Fantasizing the whole future scenario and the expression of my boyfriend seeing me and feeling like he will be super happy when he see me. There's no going home with my parents blah blah blah. Yes I missed them, but right now this is our day and I want to prioritize myself first, with my boyfriend. Oh, the things you do for love!

Oh I know what you're thinking, that I blatantly lied in front of Aunt Lucy and Uncle Fred's face. That I'm a bad person despite all the things that they did for me? Please Don't be too quick to judge. First of all Chance is worth putting efforts for and I love him so much so I think that's a pretty solid reason. And it's not an actual lie, it's a white lie. If that make sense.

The thought of it makes the butterflies in my stomach go wild. I can't wait to see his reaction really. We've been in a long distance relationship for 2 years. I admit it's hard, considering he's my first ever serious relationship but we managed to work it out and now it's our anniversary. How crazy is that ?

Chance and I were school mates way back in Highschool. I've known him because his cousin Tara is one of my best friends way before I even met Chance. Tara and I were very close until now. We were inseparable and always have each others back and I love her to death.

I remember when I first met Tara, she looked so pretty and innocent with her dark hair that stops an inch below her shoulder, her ocean blue eyes , pouty round lips and her 5'9 height that is to die for.

She was a transferee and she was roaming around the hall way. She's looking through the paper that she's holding which I assume was her class schedules and then stops in front of the classroom. I was sitting at the third row beside the window when Tara entered and sat next to me. I was contemplating whether I'll approach her or what not but I notice the worry in her face so I tap her shoulder softly.

And that my friend is the start of our friendship. I don't have much friend before so I'm glad that she became one. We always go to the mall and eating is our bonding. She always sleeps over at my place doing our homework and at the same time watch movies. Aunt Lucy is not allowing me to come over at Tara's house and I totally understand because she's just looking after me.

Not long after, she introduced me to her cousin Chance. He's hair is blonde, a perfect shaped face, he has an ocean blue eyes as well just like Tara's, a very masculine and well built body and he's 6 foot tall. That clearly tells because he was a basketball player with his previous school. I must admit that I'm kind of smitten to him at first but later brushed it off as I'm feeling that he's a playboy. And boy, he doesn't disappoint because the second he set his foot on campus, he dated half the girls in our school I swear to God.

Well I wasn't really interested because I was way too focused on maintaining my grades than to flirt around with anybody. Although there are some other guys before who's asking me out but I open mindedly declined.

I started hating Chance when there's this one time Tara went into the bathroom right after she introduced me to Chance. We sat at the corridor with an awkward silence. And me being so well mannered and polite, I stretched my hands for a handshake as a proper introduction but this asshole just stared at my hands and mentioned "I don't have a coin" and went back to scrolling through his phone. I saw with my peripheral vision that he smirks feeling proud of what he did.

I was left shocked at that moment, and I can feel the floor splitting in half ready to swallow me from embarrassment.

Tapping my forefeet nervously as I caught up in the moment leaving me confused on what to act to escape from this hellhole, I just walked out and went on my first period class instead. So much for being friendly Chas.

At that very day, I started to hate him. There were times where Tara will invite Chance to our little getaway every time exam week ends and he always annoys me even when he's not doing anything. I just don't know like staring at him makes my blood boil.

It always goes like that, Chance being Chance and he's out of the world attitude. It's like I'm invisible to him and never even give a glance just for one bit. I'm not bothered anyway, It's not like I'm gonna die If he's not giving any attention.

Girl as if he's attracted to you before. You look like shit, remember? I rolled my eyes as the picture of what I looked like before flashbacks.

But all these attitude of him fades when he meets Cassidy. The most perfect and daring girl in the eyes of every guy in campus. I mean I couldn't lie, she's totally gorgeous and I think I just had a girl crush on her before.

But let's just talk about her face, let's not go through with her bitchiness cause... Never mind.

Just imagine Regina George from Mean girls? She's has a long blonde hair that stops up to her waistline, her eye color is grey but at first glance they tend to have a flecks of gold and brown. A height of a model and she has this perfect body which they describe as an hour glass which is why, guys go crazy over her. And to top the icing on the cake, she's captain of our cheerleading squad. Yep, typical mean girl. She's a cold hard shiny plastic.

How can I judge so quick you might asked ? Well, let's just say I'm a very observant person back then. I must say that being an invisible girl in Highschool has it's perks. I made fun of people's drama. And it's a pretty fun job actually, cringing over teenage lives while eating popcorn in the hallway. Those drama's were a chef's kiss or cherry on top of my cupcake, you name it.

Cassidy and Chance were a thing before. Everyone assumes they're meant to be cause admit it or not, they're a hot hot couple. They were so toxic with each other, they're relationship is on and off. Their last straw was when Cassidy just vanished into thin air. No one knows where she went and she never came back.

Up to this day, even when we graduated no one knows where the hell she is. Even Chance went hysterical and looked for her everywhere but failed. I think Chance looked for her for like a year and when he gave up, that gave him the queue to be a rebel. He has done nothing but to hurt every girls that he's been with. And I don't really understand why some girls still adore him like, hello ? Are you color blind or something ? Because that's the darkest red flag I've ever crossed.

I know now you're questioning why is an outcast like me is now in a relationship with this guy I was once hated.

To make the long story short. Months after we graduated, he finally notices me and liked one of my updated picture in Facebook followed by a chat that states, "You look different with your new photo. I always notice that you were cute, didn't expect you to be this hot now. Hey there! ;)".

I know I just didn't caught up with his bait, because back then I know what he was doing. I'm fully aware that he's still doing his game and my competitive ass was being tested. We played each others game but ended up falling for each other.

He found his match. His words not mine.

I was caught up in my reverie when I hear the stewardess announces we're about to land. When I feel it hit the road, I slowly unbuckle my seatbelt and look over the window and it made me smile.

Once I set foot of the city, I breath in the fresh air of Florida.

Few more miles till we meet my love.
