Her Princess Charming

Unexpected

The next day, I went to the mall.

I wanted to make changes starting with myself. I wanted to be someone new, so I went to have my hair changed first.

My natural wavy and messy hair was gone as I stared at my reflection on the mirror. It was all straight now and better, falling just below my shoulders.

I felt like a different person all of a sudden.

My next stop was at a clothes shop where I looked for clothes that werent like my usual baggy ones. I also bought new kicks and I felt giddy about everything.

I made sure that this change would really have an impact.

I wanted Allen to regret ever letting me go. Not that I still want him but just a little reminder of what he lost.

Also, I wanted Juliana to see what could have been hers. If she even think of it or me.. Or if she ever thought of having me, because I thought of having her.

So after finishing my list, I walked around the mall carrying shopping bags as if I was a Kardashian. Oh lala.
Not long enough when I caught a glimpse of a familiar face inside a pastry shop. It was Juliana sitting on a pink chair with other customers.

I had no idea what to do so I just walked faster until I was in the parking lot. I didnt want to know if she was with Dion or another guy.

The thought of it makes me mentally slap myself.

I angrily stuffed the shopping bags at the backseat of my mom's honda civic.

As I closed the door I saw her again. And now she was looking and walking towards me. Ugh. For the love of god.

'Lyss wait!' She walked closer and I could feel my chest getting a little painful.

'What?' I tried so sound casual.

'Can.. Can we talk?' She asked. She looked nervous but she was still beautiful wearing her red a&f hoodie.

I wanted to say no. I wanted to tell her that I no longer want to see her and that I was trying to forget whatever it was that we had and all those feelings that I shouldnt be feeling.

'Please?' She begged.

I must have agreed because a few minutes later I was already driving to the park with her on the passenger seat.

'Nice hair.' She must have noticed. I didnt say anything, I just concentrated on my driving.

I just learned how to drive this summer when my dad taught me before he vanished with no traces. I dont have a license yet, though.

'I see you went shopping.'

'What's the occasion?'

'Lyss.'

She kept talking and I didnt even look at her.

'Lyss come on. Please talk to me.' She sounded convincing but I didnt know what to say. I wasnt ready to know what she has to tell me.

'Hey?' She held my arm but I pulled it away.

I stopped the car when we were already at the park and got out abruptly, banging the door. She got out quietly.

I went to the nearest bench and sat down while she sat beside me. We sat there together, wordless. I knew she could feel the tension too.

It was sunset and it was getting cold. Petunias and roses all around. The scene was beautiful contrary to what I felt.
