The White Witch

Beauty And The Beast

I sit perfectly placed under a tree watching everyone walk by I was like an angel sitting above it all. I was the ideal type for most boys, every guys dream was to be mine I was so sure, after all I was pretty, rich and popular and those were the only things that mattered.

"Linda!!!..". A cute and attractive young boy of seventeen runs towards me eagerly. He is my boyfriend. "I did it!! I did it!.. i.." He accidentally stumble on the rock and almost trip down only to raise back in seconds and run towards me like an eager pup. "Linda!! we won the match, I scored a goal everyone was impressed!!

I watch as my adorable and dorky boyfriend runs to me with so much excitement that I can’t help but smile. “Oh my god, that’s amazing!! I knew you could do it!” I say as I look up at him still sitting under the tree.

"C-can I join you Linda?" He says stretching his arm to sit next to me by the tree.

I chuckle slightly and nod my head “of course you can, silly.” I say, moving over just a bit to make room for him to sit next to me.

"And so..." He starts talking everything about the game in a happy cheerful bird manner. I know he joined the game for me in the past. He said he believed I'd be proud of him if he joined the game. That wasn't really needed as I loved him either way. But becoming one of the jocks made him famous especially since he was so successful in scoring pointers for the school game. And now my boyfriend happens to be one of the popular guys of this school.

I love the way that he's almost always cool, aloof and composed to others. But when it comes to me he lets his guard down and acts dorky..

My boyfriend was still narrating what happened today. "The ball almost slipped my hand! I was so nervous! But then I took courage and jumped so high that I almost flew on the sky and threw the ball into the basket!!." He says in an overly exaggerated manner. He is a good storyteller.

I listen intently to his story, my eyes wide with wonder and fascination. I can't help but smile as he gets more and more animated with his storytelling. "Wow, that sounds incredible! I wish I could’ve seen it!" I say, still sitting under the tree, completely enthralled by his every word.

"But you were busy.." He leaned on your shoulder. I missed you, love.." He says giving me puppy dog eyes and pulling my heart strings.

I can’t help but smile at his cute and pitiful puppy dog eyes, feeling a warmth in my heart. “I missed you too, sweetie.” I say gently as I lean my head against his as well. “But you know you need to stop being such a baby when I’m not around, don’t you?” I teased, gently poking his cheek.

He starts giving pecks to my cheek affectionately. "I know. I know"

We hear a few footsteps approching us. He immediately gets normal and stops kissing me. He returns back to his usual cool face. He holds my waist while turning to the footsteps.

Some of the juniors have come and praise him for the goal. He treats them politely. But, I can't help but notice how the warmth of his arm around my waist that seems to indirectly tell them to leave him alone with his girlfriend, a.k.a. me.

I watch as he seamlessly switches from his dorky, puppy dog self to his cool and charming self in front of the juniors. I can’t help but admire his ability to switch personas so effortlessly, a small smirk playing on my lips.

"Ahh.. I am so tired love.. " He whined when they are alone again and leaned on my neck.."Will you join me at my house today? My mom was asking you too.." He says with a mischievous smirk obviously meaning more.

I chuckle softly at his whine, feeling a flutter in my stomach as he leans on my neck. “Of course I’ll join you at your house tonight.” I say, returning his mischievous smirk. “And I’m sure your mom is just as excited to see me as you are.” I tease gently.
