I'm Falling.. For Him

2

..No. I can't be falling in love, that's bogus. Besides, who would I even be falling for? Alejandro? Pfft, yeah, right. As if. I'm never going to become one of his victims, the ones that fell for him. The ones that fell for his trap. The ones that fell for him and his.. emerald-like eyes, gorgeous.. brown hair..

"Ugh!" I buried my head in my legs. I softly punched myself. This can't be happening. Why is this happening?!

I abruptly stood up, looking at myself in the mirror.

"No, no.. NO!" I shouted at the mirror, looking in pure horror at myself.

"Please tell me I'm not falling in-love with.. HIM." I said to myself. I couldn't be falling in-love. Me? Love? Never. Please, and especially not with him. "Him", as in Alejandro. This is all strategic.

It.. has to be.

Ugh! Get it together, Heather! Stop thinking about that stupid, handsome jerk!

Handsome. I just called Alejandro.. "handsome".

Ugh, it had to be a slip of the tongue, or whatever. I would never call that jerk handsome. Not in a million years. Not ever.

My swarming thoughts had been abruptly stopped by a sudden knocking on the door.

"Uhm, excuse me? Are you almost done in there?" I heard a voice call. I could immediately tell that it was Gwen knocking on the door.

"Ugh, would you care to mind your own business sometime? It'd definitely help you in the future!" I called back to Gwen. I heard Gwen scoff.

"Oh, yeah?" I heard Gwen mumble as she walked away.

I rolled my eyes. Please, she thinks she can just invade a girl's privacy like that.

I opened the door carefully, scanning the area in case Alejandro was around. Since it seemed safe, I came out.

I'm not falling in love. I'm.. not falling in love.

That's what I kept telling myself. Over, and over. Repeating it, again and again.

But I knew.

I knew that I was in love.

I knew that I was in love with Alejandro.

And I hated that idea. Well, I thought I did.

And then suddenly, I was in the final 2 with him. Just me and Alejandro.

And I admitted to loving him. And.. we actually ended up kissing.

And after finally getting together on another season of Total Drama, I can happily say that..

I'm in love with Alejandro.
