Match Made in Hell

Chapter 21 : Leonardo

I love how thoughtful Caroline is. I mean, I didn't expect her to actually change our plans because of me. Guess what, being scared of roller coasters was worth it after all.

I got to see her hair all over the place (which never happened, like ever since she would always wake up early to do her hair and style it as neat as possible) and this whole new side of her. I never got to see her actually enjoy spending time with me or do anything else except annoying me to death.

When we were kids, we used to be together all the time. We often fought and I always teased her from time to time, but we didn't hate each other. We were best friends even. Hey, she might even have a little crush on me that time.

Well, that was before I found out that she was emotionally unstable, and I might've gone overboard with the teasing. I tried to apologize, I really did since Adrian told me that his parents were always so hard on Carol and nothing Carol did will ever please them. But then, she didn't accept my apology and had been a bitch ever since.

I didn't hate her. No. I don't hate her now. She might've taken my teasing way too hard. Carol's a smart girl, considering that she caught up to my grade in college and was able to handle the subjects despite being younger than me, she could actually be smarter than me.

To be honest, I think hating her was just a stupid reason just so I could be with her. The annoying part about her was how much I wanted to be with her. If competing with her was the only way to get her to talk to me at least once a day, then so be it.

Honestly, I don't give a fuck about college. Okay fine, I'll admit I might have feelings for Caroline, just a little bit though. Hell, the only reason I wanted to go to Castillo High was so that I could be with Caroline.

Nothing was a coincidence. Her being in my every single class? Not a coincidence. Us taking the two exact same major? Definitely not a coincidence. I could've easily let her win all of our games, her winning doesn't affect me at all, seeing that triumphant smile on her face would make all the humiliation worth it. But of course, she would've considered me an east opponent and would be bored to death.

Still, I also couldn't win everything, even though I could've easily done that. She would've hated me to death, if she didn't already. And I didn't want that. Not then, not now, not ever.

Caroline motivated me so much that I actually looked forward to attending college besides looking forward to annoy Carol. Having someone to look forward to seeing every single day made college so much better.

I might've overreacted slightly earlier when I said that I hated or that she looked like Shrek. Okay fine, I overreacted a lot. I guess lying to yourself only makes the situation worse.

Fuck, I didn't even realize that I just wasted 15 minutes in the toilet thinking about Caroline. She would've bombarded my phone with missed calls and messages by now.

We had ridden almost all of the roller coasters here. At this point, we were so bored of the fast rides and wanted to try out the slower and chiller rides, Well, I wanted to try out the slower rides. I was pretty sure that Caroline had tried out all of the coasters here, she literally knew this place like the back of her hand.

Roller coasters were actually really fucking great. I didn't know when I was going to drop, the way it kept you waiting and the way it suddenly dropped when you didn't expect it to. Caroline was right, If I could love extreme sports and fast cars, how could I not love roller coasters?

"Took you long enough." Caroline sighed when I finally went out of the toilet.

"Sorry, pretty girl. Thought of something important." I ruffled her hair and had an arm around her hip, tapping once to signal that we should start walking now.
