15: make me

clarice anderson.

In some type of way, I got excited to go to school and the other half of myself doesn't want to.

I got excited because I will see Luke again. And I don't want to because I will once more see my enemy.

And by enemy means Calum.

That dinner was gone by days and all the memories of that day comes back again. I shook my head off and just ignored what the feeling brought me.

Pain was all he brought. I admit I had a crush on him, but I didn't see that he was this type of guy to play with your emotions. Like, you're some type of a ragdoll that should be thrown out anywhere.

The drive to school was easier as I expected. I stepped out of my car and jiggled the keys before putting them inside my bag. I plastered a fake smile in my face, just to cover up the pain that hovered before me.

Just as I was stepping inside the building, a guy went up to me and handed me a paper and white rose. I was left there with no clue from who it is and just unfolded the paper to see what's the contents of it.

One week from now, you'll be 18 and no words could ever express how lucky I am that I met you. You don't know how much happiness you have brought in my life.

I automatically smiled when I saw that one-consonant letter I really wanted to see. I continued walking and realized that I had been stopped by two guys again, and it was Ashton and Michael.

"Hi guys!" I greeted them and they smiled, leaving me behind with what they gave: two white roses and two letters.

I opened the letter that Ashton handed me.

I just want you to know that you're making my head spin around whenever I hear you laugh or utter a word. Your smiles will always be the one that will shine bright in my life.

"What is this 'L' up to?" I laughed lightly and shifted to the other letter that Michael handed me. I started walking towards the gym because I know Luke will flip shit if I was late. That would be embarrassing. I unfolded the letter and started reading it.

Wonder why three letters? Because,

I

love

you.

I can feel eyes staring at me. There were swarms of people at the gym and they were frantically screaming like there was some concert being held on at the moment.

What surprised me is that, flowers are scattered all over the floor and there was these three guys standing right in front of me with their big cards with the statement:

Can I do the honor of being your prince charming on your 18th birthday?

"Who did this?" I asked out and when I did, the guys that held the cards went the other way and a blindfold was placed in my eyes. I tried to snatch the person who blindfolded me but I failed.

I stayed in where I was standing and suddenly, a song came on. I am starting to feel chills in my body right now when I heared it.

Suddenly, someone took my hand and led me three steps forward in the middle of this gym. I can feel the steps being behind me and the screams of the students are heared once more. The blindfold was now gone and I opened my eyes and a familiar, tall, blonde guy was approaching me.

His blue orbs darted over me and his smile was ear to ear. Before I could face him, I turned around and looked at my surroundings.

There, I saw students in 'awe' for me and Luke. We are in a fort filled with fairy lights and everything was like a dream.

Then I saw Calum.

Disgust was in his face and before I could stare once more at him, I turned away and faced the man in front of me once again.

"What is this, Luke? I mean, why are you doing this?" I smiled and took a step forward so me and him are inches apart from each other.

He smiled and tucked a piece of hair behind my ear. "I love you, Clarice. I've been feeling this ever since the day you came up to my house and comforted me through my break-up shit and stuff. So," he paused and what surprised me was next.

He kneeled down on one-knee and pulled out a rose from behind him.

Luke breathed deeply and looked up at me once more.

"Clarice, will you do me the honor of being your prince charming for your 18th birthday?" He asked and in a sudden phase my heart dropped like a bomb.

There was an explosion of endless butterflies flying in my stomach and everything around me got blurred and it was only me and Luke that was there. It was a magical yet sweet moment that has ever happened to me.

I smiled and accepted the rose from him.

"Yes, Luke. You'll be my prince charming at any costs."

And with that, fits of applause from everyone was heared.

Luke stood up and cupped my cheeks.

"I'm so lucky that I got the chance to meet someone like you."

Our faces were inches apart and I felt the same feeling when our lips collided. His cold lipring touched my lips and cold shivers were running down my spine. Our lips moved in sync and it was one of those kisses I longed to have.

"Wait," he stopped and stared at me for a second. "Is Calum okay with this? I mean he's your-" I stopped him by placing a kiss in his lips once more.

I smiled and ruffled his hair. "Shush, Luke. It's okay. I ended our fake or should I say, a joke that's been kept for a long time?" I laughed and pulled out a smile.

"Oh. Well, I was at the right time then." Luke smiled once again and led me outside the gym. We made our way to the parking lot and when we arrived, he faced me.

Luke breathed deeply and thought about what to say.

"Clarice, I'm sorry." He said.

I was stunned and thoughts were running around in my head.

"What are you saying, Luke?"

He broke down and he was kneeling with both knees and he was hugging my own.

"Me, Calum, Ashton and Michael planned it. You're our target ever since the first day of school. We all made a deal that Calum will get you for two weeks and after, he will ditch you. I'm so sorry, baby."

Tears are brimming in my eyes and I tried to stop it. But, it was too late.

I ran far away from everyone.

Make me go to a deep sleep and please never wake me up.

Those monsters ate me up and never spit any mercy.

At all.
