When Cupid Sneezes

Chapter One

"We're over," Noah Wilson says to his two month girlfriend, Jessica. Those two months were the most painful months in my life. I've had a crush on the Noah for years. Years! And Jessica the Slut swoops in and takes his heart. I mean yeah, I never said I had a crush on him, and yeah my best friend is the only one who knows, but still. It got me pretty mad.

"What?! Why?" Jessica asks frantically. As if no one knows her dirty little secret. She chose the nick-name Jessica the Slut on her own. I seriously question Noah's choice to date her.

"You've been sleeping around. When you were with me. Just...go," he says in barely a whisper, but I can hear him. Jessica's face swells up and she starts to pout, "But baby!" she starts, but is quickly cut off by Noah.

"Don't but baby me, I don't want you to talk to me anymore. Just leave me alone," Noah says. I want to clap since he finally set Jessica straight. Everyone knew that Jessica was cheating on Noah, except Noah himself.

Jessica bursts out crying, and runs out of the lunchroom as fast as she can with those 2 inch heels she has on. Everyone, including me, has their eyes on Noah to see what he'll do next. Heck, the lunch ladies are even watching him with curiosity.

His best friend, Dexter Mann, gets up from his seat next to Noah and yells at everybody, "Get on with your lives, people!" We instantly start talking to the person right next to us - about Noah and Jessica's break up.

"He's single. I can't believe it! He's finally single!" I'm so excited I could jump into the air and fart fireworks. I don't because that would be really embarrassing and painful. But still.

"Yeah, you can finally go out with him now!" Eliza, my best friend, tells me.

"It has to be planned, it has to be epic, it has to be amazing, it has to be-" I say, but am soon cut off by an eardrum splitting, high pitched scream coming from the hallway.

Almost everybody in the lunchroom rushes over to the main hallway to see what the sound is. The teachers even get up from their seats.

Right there, in the middle of the hallway is Jessica covered in red paint that seemed to come from her locker. And on the front of her locker two letters : DM.

Dexter Mann.

I look behind me and see Dexter himself high fiving some of his friends. I squint my eyes at him. He had no right to go over and do that to Jessica. Okay, I will admit, I think that she did get what he deserved. But, she just got humiliated and she was just crying her eyeballs out. That was unfair. Even for Jessica the Slut.

What else can I expect from Dexter Mann though? He's the school prankster which sort of makes him a bad boy, but not really. He's disrespectful to everybody and doesn't care how much his pranks hurt others because (from what I heard) he gets his dad to clean up all the messes.

He's pure evil. Nothing like his best friend, Noah. Noah is kind and loving and sweet and let's not forget super H-O-T HOT! He is  funny, but not the mean and brutally honest kind of funny that Dexter is. He's the perfect guy for me.

"Dreaming about me shortcake?" Dexter asks me. I roll my eyes. Like that would ever happen.

"Whatever makes yourself sleep at night." I reply. It's really weird that I'm talking to the Dexter Mann because from what I knew no one from his side of the school (jocks, cheerleader, populars, exc.) know me. Including Noah Wilson. Sigh.

"I'm afraid I don't get too much sleep at night, if you know what I mean," he winks at me, tearing me away from what I was just thinking.

I scoff, and suddenly am happy that I made an effort to make myself a little less beautiful than I actually am. I mess up my hair intentionally every single day, wear hipster glasses that don't inprove of falter my perfect eyesight at all, try not to wear flashy clothes, and eat a bit more than normal (which doesn't really help anything because of my oh-too-fast metabolism). Why would I do such things, you may ask?
