Once Upon a Time

Excerpt

"Okay, wait. Are you saying that Damien. As in the Damien Walker, asked you out?" I raised a brow at Madison, who was currently sitting across me, helping herself with a salad. I don't get how rich people liked that green, suspicious… um, thing as their lunch. How can that fill their hungry stomach?

That's the thing Tentei, they're never hungry. I mentally rolled my eyes. Choosing to just ignore their weird lifestyle, I continued eating my cheeseburger. Now, this is food.

"Yes! Oh my God, Ten! I'm so nervous! What if I trip on my own heels, what if I do something embarrassing like choke on air or, or what if my saliva flew while I'm talking, what should I-"

"Your spit flies when you talk?" I asked slowly as I narrowed my eyes on her and suspiciously trailed my eyes to my food then back at her.

She gasped horribly, as if I just slapped her in the face and glared at me. "What! NO! That was ju-" She was not given the chance to finish whatever she was going to say because suddenly, a hand rested on my shoulder and at the same time, the whole cafeteria went silent as dead raccoons. I immediately knew who it is. My radar is on, and I can feel rather than see that it's him.

I turned around and regarded him with a small forced smile. "Luke Pierre." I stared at him suspiciously, "what are you-" I wasn't even done speaking when he suddenly went on one bended knee in front of me and produced a , what it looked like, a 24-carat diamond ring. Loud gasps were heard. Including mine and Madison's.

"Wha-" Again, he cut me off. What's with him and why is he always cutting me off? It's irritating!

"I know we don't really know each other that much but I'm willing to have a lifetime just to get to know you better. Marry me?" He flashed me that million-dollar smile. All of the girls around me swooned, save for madison, that gal only has hots for Damien. Me, on the other hand, want to royally punch that smile of his all too happy face.

My left eye twitched. And I had to push my right hand inside my pocket to prevent myself from bitch-slapping the guy. That would be humiliating, for his and my part. But seriously, he needs to stop toying with me, if he knows what's good for him.

I was half-expecting some sort of comedian come out of nowhere and scream, "You've just been PUNKED! Smile at the camera baby!"

I waited for that to happen as I counted from one to ten. But when I reached ten, I realized that this is real as in real.

I could feel everyone's anticipation.

I bit my lip to try and stopped my grin. This is probably a blessing in disguise!

Honey, it’s now or never. This is my chance! My one, long awaited chance! I looked down at Luke Pierre's expectant expression and stood up from my seat, putting on my emotionless mask.

With one final intake of breath, I raised my chin and I smiled.

introduction

Okay, okay. Hi there folks, let's start the introduction, shall we? My name is Tentei. And, I'm here to tell you a story. 

Let me ask you a question, well, questions.

Have you read or heard the story about the gal who left her shoe at a party? I'm sure we all know about the girl who bit an apple and went comatose. How about the odd girl who loved a monster? Do you remember the princess who pricked her finger? The girl with the long hair? The princess who kissed the frog?

Yep, this story are not like those magical fantasy where the female lead is perfect. Because this story is about well, me. And I'm far from being like those prim and proper girls.

On the other side, the prince in this story isn't exactly the perfect Mr. right.

This is tale is about the two persons on the opposite sides of a spectrum.

If he's north then I would be south.

If he's heaven and I'm earth.

And he's born with a silver shovel on his big mouth while I'm born with a rusty one.

But hey, opposite do attract, right?

This story is about the prince and me.

And it doesn't start with Once upon a time.

I hope you'll like it :)
