One in a Million Chances

Chapter 1

Sarah POV

"How could you do this to me?" I said as I angrily slapped him on the cheeks. "I did everything for you and this is how you repay me?"

"Baby, please just listen to me. We can fix this." Creo begged, "You know that I love you and I know that you still love me. Please let me fix this."

"You know what? I don't wanna hear anything that comes out of your mouth anymore. Everything you say are lies. I've had enough! I hope that I'll never get to see you anymore. Goodbye, Creo." I shouted at him as I walked away as fast as I could.

He continuously called my name, but I tried my best to ignore him. Luckily, he didn't bother to run after me or else I might have done things that I would regret.

'Who does he think he is? He cheated on me for another girl! Some girl that has only her looks but has no talent.' I thought. 'I am way better than her! I can sing, play instruments, dance and many more! Compared to that bitch, I am far more superior! What did he actually see in her?'

I didn't stop walking until I reached the playground and there, I sat down on the swing and released all my frustrations and cried. I felt that the world was closing in on me. It was very unfair that the world would treat me like this. I did nothing wrong.

I pictured Creo's face as I cried. Believe me or not, I killed him in my mind in 100 different ways to vent out all the anger that was kept inside me. I was willing to offer my soul to the devil if that is what it takes to have my revenge on him.

As I was crying my heart out, someone patted my back, "Are you ok, miss?" I turned around to see a cute looking guy with brown eyes. "It seems that you need a shoulder to cry on. Want to tell me what happened? I promise that I won't tell anyone." He slightly smiled at me as he moved in the swing next to mine.

"I'm broken-hearted not stupid." I said through sobs. "What makes you think that I'll trust you?"

"I'm handsome and awesome." He smirked. "Just kidding. I just want to help. If you don't need it then fine. I'll leave." He stood up and prepare to go.

"Wait!" I shouted before I could stop myself. I don't know why I said it but I did.

He gave me a slight smile, "I knew you would need me, stupid girl."

"As I have told you, I'm not stupid!"

He took his time and slowly settled down on the swing. "Crying after breaking up with a useless guy is pretty much stupid. What do you call a person who does that? A stupid right?" He said, "Look, he doesn't deserve a beautiful girl like you. Don't cry for a guy like him."

"Easy for you to say. Guys like you don't have to go through my kind of hardships so don't talk like you know how I feel." I retorted. My tears have calmed down by now but my eyes still stings.

For a long time, he didn't say a word. The atmosphere grew tense as if a nuclear missile was about to explode. He sighed then finally spoke, "Fine, I'll tell you my part of the story. Actually, I have a crush on this girl for a very long time now, but she doesn't know. I've been watching her from a far and I felt contented with that. But one day, instead of the smiling face I knew, she was crying. What do you think I should do?"

"Duh! Go and talk to her, idiot!"

"Then what?"

I looked at him and he was intensely staring at me. He was seriously asking for my advice, so I deeply thought about what I was going to say.

"Umm. Probably comfort her then when she finally calmed down, tell her that you actually like her for a very longtime now. Then ask her out for a date. If she says no then you can probably come back and talk to me." I said with a smile on my face. He must have been lovestruck to ask a stranger for advice.

He looked down and mumbled something under his breath then lifted his face to look at me. "Ok, here it goes. Sarah, I've been in-love with you for a very longtime now. You might have not notice me all your life but I know you as much as I know the palm of my hand. I don't know what to do if you say no but would you like to go on a date with me?"

I was dumb-founded. Is he serious? I'm not that dense to not know that he was implying something but I was not quite expecting that he was talking about me. I don't really know what to reply.

"I-umm-"

He suddenly burst into laughter, "That was just a practice, stupid girl. I'm never gonna fall in love with you. Why are you taking it seriously?"

What?? That was a practice?? "Jerk!" I stood up and slapped him hard on the cheeks. "That isn't funny! Do you know how hard this day was for me?! You're the worst!!"

He stood up, still laughing. He doesn't seem to mind the slap. "My name is Vince, Vince Gonzales." He said, "I'll see you around!" He slowly walked away to the other direction without looking back.

I totally want to put him in my enemy list but for now, I have to change my Facebook status from 'In a relationship' to 'Single'.
