All of Me

Chapter 1

"Alex, please!" I begged him.

"No"

"Please please please"

"No! I'm not going to marry you!"

"But why?" I curiously asked him.

He looked at me dumbfounded slash his 'what the fuck look' and threw his hands in the air. "Cause you're my bestfriend!"

"So? Won't you be a good bestfriend and stop my parents from marrying me off to a stranger?" I bargained. "Please, Alex, please." I coaxed.

He looked frustrated at that time and he muttered, "I'll think about it." and walked away.

I cursed when I saw what time it was.

I'm going to be late for Mr. Travis' class. Even if I'm the heiress of a huge company it doesn't mean my professors would go easy on me.

I huffed and I puffed when I reached the room. What I found was seriously infuriating. There's Ari, my best girl friend, making out at the corner with Finn Bradley, my supposed fiance. Ugh, just thinking about it makes me want to barf. He's my rival for the valedictorian position by the way.

Aaaand as if sensing my deathly glare, Finn looked at me and broke their make out session. He smiled at me.

I restrained myself though cause he's only testing me.

"Hey Finn" I greeted him.

I looked at Ari and said, "Hi Arianna."

She looked sheepish when I called her that. I only call her by her first name when I'm pissed at her.

"Cara, I'm sorry" she said in a baby voice.

I flipped her off and decided I would see how far she'd go this time. I giggle to myself.

"Aww pretty please Cara!" She tried the puppy dog face and failed miserably. I just look blankly at her.

"Good afternoon." A voice too gloomy that could only belong to Mr. Travis rang through the room.

Whew! Saved by the teacher.

He started his lecture and I zoned out, thinking about my soon to be complicated life.

Sometimes I wish I was a normal person who doesn't have the weight of the world on her shoulders, someone who could be happy and enjoy life with my loved ones around me. But I remind myself that no matter how hard I wish for those things to happen, they're not going to and that I have to face reality.

Hmm.. Speaking about reality, how will I tell my dad that my supposed bestfriend and I are "in love"? Of course he doesn't have to know that I just will never marry Finn Bradley and that Alex is just going to be doing me a favor.

I groaned and dropped my head into my hands.

And when I sat properly and looked at the left side of the room where the window is overlooking the park, I saw that Finn Bradley was staring at me.

I frowned at him and he still wouldn't move his gaze away from me.

I just rolled my eyes and started doodling illegible stuff into my binder.

After a couple minutes, Mr. Travis finally noticed that no one was listening so he decided to dismiss us earlier.

I almost ran out the door when I saw Finn approaching me. But he'd think I'm scared which is a total no-no.

"Cara, wait up!"

I slowed down a bit and he finally caught up.

"What do you need from me?" I snapped at him.

Okay, let me tell you something really interesting. I've always thought that he had a thing for me, that's one of the reasons why I don't like him honestly. I'm not certain though.

"About tomorrow night.. Who's your date?" I glanced at him and saw that he was trying to make it a nonchalant question.

"No one. Why?" I almost laughed when I saw his reaction. It was a mixture of nervousness and relief.

That's what I think I saw flash in his eyes, that is. So I'm not entirely sure. I mean, he might not like me like that and that's okay cause it's not that I don't want him to like me. But then I don't want him to not like me too. I really don't like it when people don't like me. I mean, it makes me uncomfortable and I just- I'm rambling.

"Well, would you like to go with me?"

"No. The question should be, 'would you like me to go with you?'" I said.

It's just that I can't understand why guys ask questions like "Will you marry me?" I mean *they're the ones asking. It should be "Will you let me marry you?" Or something like that.

He huffed and said, "Fine. Would you like me to go with you?"

I looked at him with a small smile, laughed and said, "Nope!"

He looked crestfallen at that but tried to keep it in. So, even though I don't like him much cause he's my soon-to-be fiance if Alex disagrees, I still have a heart and decided to give him one chance.

I winked at him and said, "Hey! I was kidding. Sure, I'd like to go with you."

His eyes brightened up and said cheerfully, "Yes! See you tomorrow! Oh and text me the exact shade of your dress!"

Hmm.. He's actually sort of cute!
