The Veil Series: Dark Veil (Book One)

Chapter 2: Fractured

Everybody was dancing. Groovy movements made me groove too. There were cliques of popular students in this party so I should act like a skater. The area was hemmed in with so numerous students. Accidentally, Pat spotted me by using his astonishing eyes. He grinned like damn and walked towards me. Disgusting.

''Hey, Isabella my love. What are ya waiting for? C'mon let's dance.'' He greeted excitedly. I may not as popular and cool as Pat but he treated me equally. As if in equilibrium state. I rolled my eyes but I loved how he looked. He's gorgeous.

''Sorry, pervert. I am not going to grind with you.'' I apologized but just kidding though.

''Aw, my love don't want to dance with me,'' he pointed his chest like he's truly in pain, ''Or...you want to secretly dance with me.'' he whispered.

I slapped his arm and we chuckled lightly. We made it to the dance floor like wild beasts. I raised my drink up and I am drunk. I glanced at the clock and it's already 11:00 PM. But where's Alex?

I shoved Patrick out of my way and searched for him. Pat just rolled his eyes and flirted with another girl. Oh, Mr. Swagger. I sighed at that thought. My brain is throbbing and my feet were wobbly. I broaden my eyes to see clearer. I turned to the right part of basement and saw Alex kissing with a brunette girl. She moaned in satisfaction and secured her legs around Alex's waist. I gasped for air but there was no oxygen at all. I concealed my lips with my bare hands and tried to back off. I stumbled while I inched away from them. I turned again at them but they both unstoppable. The bitch laid her body on his. I want to spit at them. I was disgusted. I'm such a loser and vulnerable to win a guy. It was a nightmare that make me crazy. But it's all my fault. If I only made the right decision, my heart will not be tormented and tortured by a pervert like Alex Moore. I sobbed like a baby and ran away from this asshole place. I pickup my pace as if I am a rocket. I wanted to be a rocket to escape the all agonizing nightmares. I wiped off the tears and I bumped against someone. Patrick. Quickly, I grabbed his shirt and embraced him. He hugged me back and I continued to sob on his shoulder. He's my crying shoulder.

''Bella, are you okay? I mean, is there something wrong?'' He whispered almost kissing me. I stared at his eyes and he stared back.

''I want to be a swagger.'' I stated in a serious tone of voice.

He looked at my eyes with so much concern and care. There was no love at all. He furrowed his brows in bewilderment.

''Sure thing, Bella. I like you Isabella Harper.'' He smiled and he never hesitated to kiss me on the...

Cheeks!

But despite of those, I'm fractured. I want to change in a new Isabella. I want to be a swagger like other popular students in our school. I also dedicated my change to my ugly cruel ex-boyfriend. I'll prove to him that I don't really deserve to be dump.
