His Brother is Cupid | Hiatus

Prologue

Chase Hood.

Chad Hood.

Alliana Stewart.

This is it.

I'm going to confess my feelings for him now. But not in person. I might die of happiness if he accepted it. I'm going to confess it through a love letter expressing my feelings. "Are you sure you're gonna do this? I mean, Chad... he doesn't take relationships seriously." I heard my best friend, Rebecca, ask in an unsure tone. We're currently at the library.

I gave her an are-you-kidding-me look. "Are you seriously asking me that? You, of all people, know that I wanted to do this all my life. Maybe, he'll change because of me." I said the words, crystal clear. She rolled her eyes and sighed. "Your choice, just..." she paused and eyed me quickly. "Don't fall too far." she whispered and left without another word.

I watched her got lost out of my sight. What's up with her? She only shows her serious side when something strange is up. Wait, is something strange gonna happen? At that moment, I felt shivers all over my body. Oh no. I shook my head and slapped my face. "Snap out of it, Alli! Just focus on giving Chad the letter." I whispered to myself. Yeah, the letter.

I got the letter and stood up from my seat. I went out of the library. Maybe he's at the cafeteria. I ran to the cafeteria, bumping to some students. But I don't care. I just need to give this to him before I burst. When I got into the cafeteria, I saw Chad eating silently, surrounded by girls giving him a flirty look.

I took a deep breath. I can do this. I slowly walked towards the table. The girls gave me a confused look and glares. "I think you're at the wrong table." one of the flirts said. Her voice is too fake, it's annoying. I ignored her and focused on Chad. He's still eating his lunch. How can a person be so hot just by eating?

"Hey! We're talking to you!" I heard Flirt #1 said and pulled my hair hard. She made me face her. "You have no right to not answer us back! Don't you know who we even are?!" she shouted and continued on pulling my hair. The Flirt #2 stood up and pulled my hair too. One of them kicked me at my hip causing me to fall to the floor.

I started to have tears in my eyes. "St-stop, ple-please." It barely came out as whisper. It's too much. The pain is too much. "Serves you right, flirt!" they pushed me at the floor and started to slap me hard. I tried to fight back but they're too many. I can't do this. I-

"Stop." Chad said in his usual cold voice and stood up. The flirts stopped at slapping me and gave him a surprised look. "But Chad, that fli-" Flirt #1 was cut off by Chad giving her a glare. "I said, stop." he said. The girls put their heads down. Wait, is he defen-

"Stop wasting your time over petty little things." he said while eyeing me quickly, and eventually left. The girls look at me with a disgusted look and went after him. I can't move. I can't breath. I felt something crack inside. I felt like dying. So I'm just a petty little thing? It hurts. But it hurts more when the one you love said it right in font of you.

I can't take it anymore. I let the tears burst down. I should've listened to Rebecca. I fell too far. And this is what I get. Here I am, crying at the middle of the cafeteria, in the middle of the crowd, crying my heart out. I feel so useless. Out of life. I don't think I need to live anymore. The only reason of my existence.. left me.

"Stand up." I heard a voice said. I didn't have the power to. I rather be here at the floor, mourning. "I said, stand up" the voice again. With all my power, I turned my head and didn't see the person clearly because of my tears. But I'm sure it's a guy. He knelt down and wrapped his arm around my waist. He carried me bridal style. "Stop crying." he whispered.

I ignored his look and wiped my tears harshly. "I am not!" I growled. That's when I saw people staring and whispering. What's their- Wait.. don't tell me. I slowly looked back and slowly regretted it. "Hood?" I asked with a confused tone. "At your service." he replied back with a smirk. Of all the people who can notice me in this big, big world, why him?

Why does it has to be the Cupid?
