Chapter Nine

Felicia's POV

I have been waiting for Jerome outside his house. I didn't dare to knocked on his door. I was a bit shy. He's the guy I like. Of course I'm gonna be shy. I was waiting for him outside because I wanna go to  school with him. I thought this way I could get closer with him and you know tell him the truth. I smiled at myself sheepishly.

"Woah! Felly? What are you doing here standing outside my house?" He looked shocked as he closes the front gate and locked it while asking me. I looked down and smiled.

"I was wondering whether we could go to school together?" I looked up at him and saw his expression changes.

"Uh.. Yeah.. Sure.. Come on then." He said awkwardly gesturing to the car.

We went inside his car and drove off. I was in Jerome Herrera car with him!! Oh my gosh! Can I do this everyday?

"Hey why not we go to school together everyday?" I suggested. I suddenly saw him coughing hard.

"Are you okay Jerome? " I asked. He nodded.

"Uhh.. Yeah..About your question just now I.. don't think we should. I don't want people to think that we're together Felly." He said.

"Why can't we?" I suddenly shut myself. That was suppose to be what I was thinking . He glanced at me for awhile then back to the front.

"Like I said we're not together. And I do know your purpose for suggesting that. Honestly Felly, I like you as a.. friend not more than that. I don't want you to think that I lead you on ." I suddenly felt disappointed. He like me as a friend only. Not more than that.

"Besides, I don't think you like me right? As in really like me. Because I've seen the way you look at Aiden Felly. And the way he look at you. So why not you trust me on this and go get your Aiden." He declared.

How did he know? I did all these just to not like Aiden. I did all these because that's the only way I could get closer to him. And I used Jerome as someone I wanted to like so that I won't fall for him but I guess I still do.

"I'm sorry." I mumbled. He snickered.

"Don't be Felly. And I'm just helping you out. You should say thanks rather than sorry. Your best friend is back." He smiled. My eyes went wide.

"Are you serious?!"

"Absolutely."

Cara's POV

Everyone were rushing to the auditorium for the announcement. I was scared of the results. My palms were getting sweaty as I head to the auditorium. I stop at the door of the auditorium. What if I didn't win? Will it hurt? I was getting worried for no reason.

"Are you just gonna stand there?" I was startled when someone spoke. The person chuckled softly. I turned my head to the side.

"What about you?" I asked him.

"Well.. How am I supposed to go in if you're blocking the way Miss Dremont?" I move away. I didn't know I was blocking the way until he said it.

"Oh! I'm sorry."

"Chill Cara. Don't get so worried about the results. I'm sure you'll win. You're Cara Victoria Dremont afterall. " He smirked.

Both of us entered the auditorium and suddenly Jerome left me alone. I didn't know where he has gone to but I suddenly felt lonely without him. I looked around to see whether he's somewhere here. But everyone was blocking my view.

"Mic test! Mic Test! Does everyone hear me?!" Clarissa spoke. Everyone just nodded.

"Alright! So the results is in my hands right now. The winner is either Cara, Gerald or Jerome. The winner are based on your votes. So who do you think will win?!" Clarissa asked the students. Some of them cheered mine while some cheered his name. Not alot of people are cheering for Gerald.

"Alright! Alright! We'll see who is it?" She opened the envelope to reveal the results. I couldn't read her expression. She only smile. This scare me.

Please let it be me. I closes my eyes hoping that she called my name.

"Congrats Jerome Frederick Herrera!" I opened my eyes and looked at Jerome who was still daydreaming. He snapped out of his mind when Aiden tap on his right shoulder. Then he looked at me, I quickly look away. People were clapping as he went up the stage. I didn't know why but I clap too.

What was I doing clapping for him? I stopped clapping and walked to the door.

"Thanks guys for voting for me. If you guys didn't vote I wouldn't be here now." Jerome made his speech as I walked.

"I didn't know why but I don't think deserve this." I stopped walking. What is he rambling about? I turned around and looked at him as I gave him a confused look.

"This award should be given to Cara." I gasped. What is he doing? Everyone stare at me. I quickly turned around and walked but was stopped when he called my name.

"Cara Victoria Dremont. "

"I don't know what I'm doing but you deserve this award more than I do. This award doesn't mean a thing to me. I know it does to you. Cara.." I waited as he drag my name.

"I didn't care about winning. All I could care now was about you." Everyone gasped.

"The prank doesn't make me dislike you. It makes me like you more. I don't know what I'm like this but do you remember what I said yesterday?"

Oh yeah! How could I forget? He told me he could tell me tomorrow. So I waited for him to talked. I turned around glancing at him.

"Cara.. I love you.." my eyes went widened and I was stunned by his confession.

"And.. will you be my girlfriend? "

I smirked as he said that. To think that I would be able to be his girlfriend is one of my dream. Thanks to the prank, we get to know each other. Without it, I don't think I would met him. And without it, we wouldn't have gotten closer with each other.

I change and he change. I'm glad that I had someone who finally care about me after so long. When both of us thought a prank would make us destroyed each other, it ended you making us be together.

This time, I'm gonna be the Cara Victoria Dremont that is not the prankster.

And this time, I will be the Cara Victoria Dremont that fall for Jerome Frederick Herrera.

Screw all the pranks I did before, I'm falling for him.

°°THE END°°
