A childhood Promise

Chapter 3

The day had been hectic. I regret going but sooner or later I would have discovered my part in prom night. The argument with Eric is left unfinished. Just as the bell rang he stormed out of the class in a blink of an eye, I couldn’t get a chance to catch him. I don’t know what does he gets for irritating me. I decided not to think of him more and take a nap instead.

Waking up, I had this urge to send the request to Eric on Facebook. I remember those four times I have declined his request but I have no other option than to talk to him and just get out of this prom puddle. If only I knew why I don’t act like a normal girl anymore.

So yeah logging into my ID, I searched Eric Anderson and huh this poser. He is standing in a club, disco lights shining over him with his smirk expression clearly visible. I clicked and saw many of his profile pictures, he is indeed handsome. He is very handsome. Ignoring my stupid conscience I decided to send him the request. Should you? Are you seriously going to get connected with him on a  social network? Don’t you know how much that spoiled brat will show off then? Urghhh. Shut up my mind. I sent the request and stood up to check my homework.

Alice knocked the door; these etiquettes are hell necessary when you are living with my mother. I glanced at her and nodded, permitting her to enter.  She’s notice me in serious mood.

“Sister, Are you upset over something?” She showed her concern.

I smiled at her reassuring. “No Alice, what made you think of that?”

She climbed on the bed and sat beside me. “Are you never going to forget him? I know I am not so grown up to talk to you like that but we are close more than you are with mother.” She paused searching my reaction but I am blank, all blank. The thought of him I try to stop from coming, those memories, came flooded back in my mind. I am lost, long lost when a background voice shook me to reality. I realized Alice sitting, waiting for my answer.

“Alice, it was many and many years ago. I am ruthlessly trying to push him out, but the feeling of what we had never goes. I have seen so many couples carrying a break-up trend and they get over it. Am I not strong enough like them or they haven’t fallen in love with their partner?” I just realized how much I have said now. I can’t take my words back so I go for retreating in my shell again. “Alice, I must get this homework done honey! Go watch a movie you brought yesterday. Next time, bring another one and we’ll see together. I promise.”

I can see she is confused. And kind of taken aback. But I know she’ll understand, she’s been since the last few years. Alice showed her innocent smile and left the room. She has grown up and it feels so good to be around her. We have a close connection and she knows much more about what I am going through, after Lucy. I heard a sound from computer. It’s a message, must be of Eric. I ran to the chair, shook the mouse to see the screen.

“I didn’t see this one coming. ;-)”  Oh the Hero entrance. It is Eric, c’mon. Hey, hello, hi is not his style.

I won’t trap myself in his game.  I began to type. “Only you can take everything in wrong sense. No long talks Eric. Just come to the point… ” It’s seen. He is typing.

“Babe, what would you prefer to talk about? <3” A heart? I can imagine how he would say that in real. He can make a normal sentence sound so flirtatious.

“Eric, I don’t want to be your prom partner and that is it. Talk to the Dean, do anything and cut my name off.” I won’t let him win. He finds everything tempting which is irritating to me.

“Ha-ha. If that’s an order then listen to mine as well. I am only going to dance with you and only you, ROSE AUSTIN. :* <3 “Fuck my life.

“You are disgusting Eric :@” Urghh. This guy, I want to hit him so hard.

“You won’t say that in bed honey. ;-)” What? What did he just say? My anger is bubbling up. But before I can pour into my chat box he went offline.

My head is aching. Eric surely doesn’t love me he’s just after connecting my name with his. With his muscular body and tanned skin, he tempts every girl to him but not me boy. I am not going to let this happen even if I have to sit in front of dean’s office for hours. So the first thing in my mind for the next morning is a visit to dean’s office. He can couple me with any boy but him. And with this plan, I went back to studying.
