HEART OF MINE

CRAZY HEART

 ××××× Cora's POV ×××××

 “Hmmm… You never told me about your new friend, dear.” Mom said amused. I was mortified when mom looked at him from head to toe and vise versa.

 OMG! My mom’s checking him out!

“Mom, this is Baron Law, Seth’s team mate. Law, this is my Mom, Grace.” I introduced indifferently, I know I sound rude but I don’t care. The anger in me is beginning to immerge. “I’ll talk to you in private.” I bit every word. I looked at Mom and sent a telepathic massage saying that I’ll tell her later and hope that she understands. My mom did and closed the door behind us as I pulled Ron behind the nearest tree.

“What’s your deal dude? It’s freaking ten in the evening.” I hissed. He looked anxious and rubbed the back of his neck.

“Sorry.” I snorted. ”look Cora. I’m really really sorry okay. I was a jerk and I was stupid.”He said sincerely, I actually thought that he means it.

“Exactly what do you want that can’t possibly wait till morning?” I asked with crossed arms.

“You see… Um…” There was a long pause as Ron tries to tell me something. He fidgeted a lot like some kid confessing to his mom about breaking her favorite vase. He took a deep breath and finally opened his perfect lip. I kind of stared at it while he fidgets. “I’m in love with you.” He said and I totally became a stone statue.

I think my jaw dropped a little and it took me about a minute to recover. When he gave a grin I realized something and my ears turned red in fury.”How far do you want to get just to win that stupid bet?” I shouted. I’m really angry now “Did Pam ordered you to do this. I already made myself clear to you Ron. I’ll never date you or be your girlfriend no matter what, so stop acting like you have feelings for me!” I left him quickly without even turning back.

I think he said something but I couldn’t hear it because something’s ringing in my ears.

 How can he do this?

How can he think of trying to play with my feelings like I’m one of those brainless cheering squad girls?

Tears began to fall from my eyes as I closed the door behind me and locked it. Do I really look that easy? I was stupid thinking that he is good guy… so stupid.

I couldn’t tell Mom who waited for me on the living room because I can’t face her and I wanted to be alone. I dashed back to my room.

I felt really drained but I couldn’t seem to sleep. I tried not to think about Ron and forget everything he said but no matter how hard I try he’s always popping in my head. I remembered how he looked straight in my eyes with his attractive green eyes and said that he thinks he love me.

No!

Control yourself Corazon!

Not this exaggerated heart beat again. I have to calm down. I can’t fall for his tricks. I’ve been spying on him for months just to figure out all his ways with girls and write it on our school news paper. Now I know what kind of scumbag he is.

 He will do anything to get the girls he wants then dump them anytime he feels like it. His evil, he’s sly and he’s an enemy to women. I definitely can’t fall in love with him!

 I thought I will lose sleep because of Ron, luckily my body gave up on me and I slumbered like a log. I woke up on the sound of my alarm clock the next day. I did my morning rituals and went down for breakfast wearing a dark green v neck long sleeve and black skinny jeans. I forced my self to not even think of Ron this morning so no one will notice that I’m being troubled.
