The Sweetest Revenge

Proposal

2 years ago:

Friday, Jack Traynor, the popular bad boy of the school kissed me. Today is Monday and i have only one goal to accomplish today. I have to avoid Mr badboy at any cost.

I have been enough humiliated in my whole life and now i don't want my feelings to be toyed.

I enter the school yard and after examining the corridors, i quickly make my way towards the staircase.

As soon as I'm about to take one more step, i feel strong hands pulling me by my waist. I have no idea of who the person behind me is. My back is against the person's stomach. I'm too scared to look at the person's face, afraid that it it the one person i have to avoid to lead a happy school life.

Please dear god...i hope it's not who i think it is.

"Good morning cupcake. Eager to go to class already?"

Holy shit...

"What do you want, Jack?" I asked trying to keep calm.

"Did you like the kiss last time?"

That guy had the nerves to ask me about something like this! I pulled away from his grip and stood firmly in front of him. My eyes locked with his. If looks could kill, he would already be buried ten feet under.

"Why did you even kiss me? What the hell is wrong with you. Are you actually trying to make me one of your toys whom you can easily get rid of when you get bored of me!"

For unknown reasons, my eyes felt teary. Maybe because the guy i hated the most kissed me. For the past years, I've always day dreamt about how my first kiss would be. That it would happen at sunset at the beach. The boy would caress my cheeks and whisper comforting words in my ears. Then he would slowly lean in. Our lips would lock together and he would kiss me gently, his hands in my hair. He would then pull back to tell me how much he love me.

Instead, some fucked up guy showed up and ruined my well planned dreams. My first kiss was a horrible experience i would say. It was rough and not loving at all. There was not an ounce of sincerity in the kiss. It was unexpected.

"This was the most horrible kiss i could ever get!" I said, feeling disgusted at myself for even letting a random guy kiss me. Not that I'm making a big deal out of it, but just that i was having high expectations about my first kiss.

"Ouch.. That hurts.." he joked, his hands on his chest, acting heartbroken.

"Could you please excuse me, i need to go deal with things more important than talking bullshit with a guy who doesn't have a brain!"

After that, i left.

I dashed upstairs and reached my class. I sat in the first row in front of the teacher's desk as usual.

"Good morning Miss 'good girl'. Wanna lend me your math copybook to copy the answers!" A random girl ordered.

I was reluctant. But i guess i have no choice. Not lending her my copybook would piss her off and as i result, the bullying would not stop.

"Ohh come on.. Just be a good girl and lend Shanon your copybook!" Another girl said.

I simply looked down, fidgeting with my fingers.

"I can't lend you my copybook. I'm working hard while you all are just benefiting from 'my' hardwork without even putting in effort. It's not fair!" I finally manage to spit out, meaning every word i said.

At the start of the year, these girls were what I'd consider as my best friends. But as i started getting to know them, i realized that i had nothing to do with them. They never really cared about me. I was just the teacher's pet who they thought would help them in getting good results.

After i finally realized where my place was, i tried ignoring them and this resulted in the start of the bullying.

"Dear Shane, i hate to break it to you, but nobody cares about the hardwork you do! You are just another random nerd whom we hate. You have nothing. Your personality sucks. You never even had friends. And there's one thing i can promise you. It's that no guy would even want to go on a single date with you. You will stay alone for the rest of your life."

After the words were out of Shanon's mouth, i swear i felt my lungs tightened inside of me, my eyes felt teary and i couldn't even stop myself from feeling these emotions. I could break down at any time right now which is not what i want.

The last thing i want is to look hopeless and vulnerable in front of them.

"Don't you dare go thinking that you are worth better than her. You are a bitch and you don't even have a personality. You fuck up with all the guys that come to you and you call that personality. The last time i checked, a person who fucks with anyone and everyone is called a whore, which fits you perfectly. And who said Shane never will have a bpyfriend. For your information, i am dating Shane!"

I swear, i never think i was as shocked as i am right now. Shock is just an understatement. I have no idea what just happened. Jack Traynor was in front of me and I'm pretty sure that all the words came from his mouth.

Do i really need to go to an ear specialist? Is my sense of earing working? Is all this a figment of my imagination?

I turn around to look at Shanon and her group of friends and realize that the whole class's attention is fixed on me and Jack, trying to figure out whether they just imagined things.

Jack takes my hand in his and soon, we are both out of the class, leaving the class in utter shock.

"What the hell just happened? Are you drunk? Are you on drug or something? Do you need a psychologist?" I literally yelled at him. I know that's kind of ungrateful frome because he literally just defended me, an utter stranger to him, perhaps.

He just smiled at me.

I looked at him blankly, unaware of the current situation I'm in.

"I want you to be my girlfriend!"

These were the exact same words which Jack Traynor, the school's most popular guy, whispered in my ears, while our body was pressed against each other and there was no way to escape from his firm grip.
