Vicky POV
I'm finding my situation funny,I thought.
It's Friday, though, and it's two o'clock at that. We have nothing to do, so my female friends are talking to my male friends, and Yeong is getting clingy to the girls around him, especially Abigail. I feel as if I'm betraying the side character in a novel or something.
Like most novels, the main protagonist gets all the nice guys, and the side characters get average characters or none at all. Unfortunately, my boyfriend has feelings for her. Uggh!!!... "I want to cry," I growled, screaming annoyingly.
"What's wrong?" Abdul asked. Sniff.... Sniff. "Your brother sucks, Abdul. Your brother is also a jerk. He wants to replace me with her," I said, pointing at Abigail's smiling face, "and he dared to even ask for my assistance."
"Oh, boy!!.... I did warn you to stay away from him. You two have been dating for 5 years or so. Now I knew he'd leave you when he found someone new. I'd have never treated you like this only if you'd picked me, Vicky. Only if you'd had, things would have been different," he sighed sadly, which made my heart ache.
I looked at his face apologetically. "It wasn't my fault. The heart wants what it wants, and I couldn't control it. I feel bad, and here I am trying to gain sympathy from you". I murmured and crawled into a sinister position...
"You're right about one thing. It wasn't your fault that you fell for him, but remember, it was your fault for choosing him," he announced, and he hugged me, whispering reassurance and sweet nothingness into my ear.
It's been long since I felt loved and adored. It's been a long time since I've felt genuine kindness and love from a guy. It makes me wonder if I lowered my standards way too much. If I settled for too little, I deserved better, and I know I did.
I've made up my mind. I'm not going to settle for someone who looks down on me, but to be honest, Henry is lucky we never had sex because if we did, I'm sure I'd have to send him to the gods of my land and offer him to the juju (a man who specializes in black magic and is a prophet to many gods) for the sacrifice. I thought and waved the thought out of my mind. I'm a Christian for God's sake. So, I'll just end things and we'll... I immediately snapped out and called for him. "Abdul Aziz". I called out in our embrace. "What's wrong? Did I hurt you somewhere". "Oh no," I replied, releasing myself from his grasp and feeling empty. "What if I break up with your brother? What if I don't want to be with him anymore".
Well, that wouldn't be surprising considering the hell he put it through, and I'd cheer you on.
"And what if you're the one I want?" I asked now, looking straight into his eyes, funding only admiration and love. "It took you so long to realize you needed me, so I'm guessing the saying is true, cupcake". He said happily, poking my cheeks.
"Huh, what is true?" I asked, positioning myself on his lap and drawing myself closer. Well, cupcake, you kissed a thousand frogs just to find this prince charming, didn't you? I didn't get to answer before he kissed my cheeks and told me he had a cadet to attend to, but he would be back and I had a mission to accomplish.
First off, I have decided to ignore Henry today. I would not acknowledge his presence when he came through the back door, so I dragged Abbie, Victoria, and Benedicta out so we could have some girl's time. Faustina is out showing her cousin around the school, considering she just transferred. which was a shock to me, but I heard the school was undergoing a secretive registration, and it was expensive. Who knew Catholic schools could also act illegally?
