The Sweetest Revenge

Party

2 years ago:

I close the door of my room and ask Jack to wait for me in the living room while i change into the newly bought dress.

If two weeks ago you told me that one day, Jack Traynor would buy an expensive dress for me to attend a party as his girlfriend, i would have laughed in your face and told you to go see a doctor.

I look at the dress lying on the bed. Its seriously the most beautiful party dress i have ever seen. It's of a blue turquoise colour. It's simple. I simply adore it.

I put on a little eye liner and mascara.

I look at my reflection in the mirror. It feels awkward. I never even worry about whether I'm looking good or not, but today, I'm caring a lot about what Jack thinks of me. Is it some kind of badboy charm?

I take a small handbag along with my phone and open the door. I can't believe my mum is allowing me to go to a party. I was hoping she would disagree so i could stay at home happily revising some oxidation reactions.

I finally spotted Jack sitting on the couch while talking to my mum.

"I'm ready!" I say.

Both my mum and Jack turn to look at me.

And for an instant, i saw the badboy blushing. Was he nervous. His gaze was fixed on me as if examining me, as if wanting to remember every little detail of me. Well, maybe i was just imagining things..

"Bye sweetheart. Enjoy yourself. Take care of my daughter, Jack. I'm counting on you!" My mum whispers.

"I can take care of myself!" I said coldly.

I don't want my mum to go thinking that Jack is a kind good boy. That would just cause her to be disappointed, once she realized how fucked up Jack was!

Jack opened the door of the car for me, acting like such a gentleman, when deep down, he was just thinking badly of me and my mother. That's the kind of guy he is.

During the whole journey towards Mason's house, Jack's friend who is organizing the party, i realized that Jack had been acting weirdly. For the first time, i saw the badboy nervous. Was it the first time he was attending a party with a girl?

"Here we are!" Jack says making his way out of the car.

I looked at the house in front of me in awe. Was it even a house? It was immense and painted uniformly of beige colour. The front yard was crowded. It looks like more than one hundred people were invited, which is a little too much for a high school party.

Jack instructed me to follow him everywhere, so as not to get lost and also not to have any drink as soon of them might contain alcohol.

Some couples were making out publicly on a bench, and it was disgusting to think that teenagers enjoy these kind of things.

"Aww..seems like my good girl of a girlfriend is interested in these!" Jack joked, pointing towards the couple.

I just rolled my eyes at his comments and decided that it was better to ignore him throughout the whole night.

I still don't understand what i am to Jack. He keeps insisting that i become his girlfriend and makes me feel like one. But I'm pretty sure that i never ever accepted his proposal, but still, for some unknown reasons, i can't refuse him. I don't even understand my own feelings...
