Revenge, with a Side of Love

Chapter 1: A New Beginning

I felt terrible. Absolutely fƲcking terrible. How are you suppose to feel when your girlfriend cheated with your best friend. Man, I don't even want to go to school. However, I have to.

I sigh and get up from my bed. It's alright Liam, you'll get over it eventually, now get your lazy ⱥss out of bed.

Once I park my car at school, my friends literally started to run towards me. Weird.

"Liam! I'm so sorry! I didn't know how to tell you!"

"Sorry dude, but I couldn't think of a way to tell you."

"Damn, I didn't want you to find out this way."

Suddenly, my friends started to all talk at the same time.

"Wait, what the fƲck? You guys knew?" As I said that, everyone became quiet and started to avoid eye contact.

"I didn-"

"Get the fƲck out and never talk to me ever again." This is great. First, my parents, then my best friend and girlfriend, and apparently, all my friends knew that Trent was screwing around with Rachel the whole time.

As I started to head towards the building, people kept moving aside for me. Sometimes, being popular is the worst thing ever.

Just as I thought that nothing could make my day more worse, I see her holding hands with him.

"Liam!" Trent called. As I turned around to look at him, I see Rachel just staring at me with guilt in her eyes.

"Listen, I'm sorry, things got out of hand a-"

"Trent, didn't you understand when I kicked you out of my apartment?"

"Liam, it's not what it seems." I use to love having her call my name. Now, I feel sick.

"Right. So what does it really mean when I come home and see my girlfriend-ex-girlfriend I mean, screwing around with him." I jabbed a finger towards Trent.

"Why don't you shut the fƲck up man. Just forgive us and let's move on. What Rach and I have between us is something special." He seemed to be irritated with me. Whereas it really should be the opposite.

"FƲck you," I said.

It seemed that Trent was wearing a mask and once I said that, it fell.

"Aww, is the golden boy mad that he finally doesn't get something he wants just by asking for it? Well sucks to be you man, this is real life. And most of us need to work for what we want."

I smirked. "Hey, at least I don't pick up others leftovers now do I? I mean it's perfectly fine. When you put a slut like her and a manwhore like you together. It's a match made in heaven!"

I start to turn around and walk away. However after a few steps, I turn back around. "Thank you, Trent, for making me realize what a type of girl who she really is. I'd warn you about her but you know, she's your type."

Even though on the inside, I was in pain, I didn't show it. I mean who wouldn't be? I had a perfect life and in twenty-four hours, everything around me seemed to be just an illusion.

When I got home, I realize that after sitting around for a bit, I was bored. Even though I was sad, it doesn't mean that I'll be some chick and watch Netflix while eating a tub of ice cream.

As if on queue, the doorbell rang. I open it and I was definitely surprised by who it was.

"Alexis?"

"Liam." She said. Alexis is practically the girl version of Trent. She has beautiful blonde hair and grey-blue eyes. She was wild, carefree, and definitely didn't give a fƲck of what others thought of her.

"As much as I enjoy seeing you, why are you here?"

"I heard that you had a spare room in your apartment."

I laugh. I straight up laugh. "Are you actually asking if you could stay here?"

"Yeah....I need a place to crash."

"But you're a girl. As much as I like you, I would never let a girl stay at my apartment."

She stared at me. "And why the hell not?"

"Why should I?"

She stared at me intensely and after a long pause, she smirked.

"You're hurt. Aren't you? You're smiling on the outside, but on the inside, all you want to do is curl up into a ball and cry."

What the fƲck? How did she know?

"No."

"Let me guess, all you want to do is wipe that smirk off of Trent's face and make Rachel feel pain. Don't you?"

"Are you Jesus?" I blurted out.

She laughed. "As much as I wish I was, no. I do know how you feel, though. Whether you believe it or not. "

After a moment of silence, I speak up. "I guess it's true. I do want revenge."

She smirked again. "How about this, you let me stay at your place until I can find a new one, and I promise that I will help you get that revenge of yours."

I thought about it for a moment and finally said yes. Then I realized that we've been standing at the door for about five minutes now.

I scratch my head. "Do you uh, want to come in?"

She takes a step back and pulls a suitcase out of nowhere. "I guess." She shrugs.

"Wait, how did you know that I would say yes?"

"I didn't." She hastely said, she clearly didn't want to talk about it. So I decided to just leave it alone.

She makes herself comfortable and sits on the couch.

"So, Alex. How do you think that we can do this?"

"Well, first step is to show them that you're not at all affected by what's happened."

"And how do you suppose that we do that?"

She smirked again. Now that I look at it, it's pretty cute.

"We pretend that we're dating."
