The Diary of Seraphina...

Cadence Smith...

"I love you," she said.

Those words that I repeat in my head over and over again. Even when she left me. Even when I called her so many times I lost count; she never picks up.

She left me with a piece of paper. A remnant of the girl I loved.

"Dear Ryder,

It was fun whilst it lasted. I don't know how to break it to you but I'm actually with another person. I will be honest and say that everything was based on a bet my friends and I made. It was to capture your heart and crush it. Cruel, I know. But it was revenge for one of my close friends who had a crush on you but you simply denied her presence so coldly and might I add, publicly humiliating.

But it all seemed worth it to see my friend finally smiling again. To not see her so depressed that she sees cutting as her only friend. Did you know how hard it was for me to see her like that? How I had to be her pillar of strength when I find myself dying inside?

Am I guilty? Maybe, a little.

Although, once I came to know you, you didn't seem like the cold person my friend envisioned you to be. I'm sorry Ryder. I didn't mean to break your heart like that. But the deed has been done. I hope that one day, you'll find it in your heart to forgive me.

Goodbye Ryder.

- Cadence"

A cruel, sick joke. That must be it. She couldn't have left me like that. I reassured myself with those words. Maybe she'll call me and say that it was just a joke and that it was an April Fools' joke. But she never called and it wasn't April.

I just have to accept the fact that I was cheated on by the girl I loved. I found myself building blocks around my heart. My eyes harden. I become ice.

I clenched my jaw and vowed to make another girl suffer the same fate as me. I don't know how I came to that conclusion but my hatred bleeds through my rational thoughts.

A bet will be how I'll do it. I'll play with feelings just like how Cadence did to me.

A/N: Hello readers! A chapter after so long? This chapter is actually a flashback from Ryder's past.

This is an insight on why he actually made that bet with his friends. Not to mention, the Jessica incident. He wasn't actually that bad but he was so affected that he resorted to this.

Let's hope the sweet Ryder is still there.
