May 2013.

Miranda was excited.
Zayn had written and said he would be at the math contest the coming week.

She studied her butt off and got chosen as one of the contestants.
Miranda was bright, she scored a couple of A's and B's.

She was also the school captain and one of the trusted among teachers.

Days past and the day arrived.
She put on her best skirt and blouse and headed to class at 5 in the morning.

At 6 she went class by class to ensure every one was seated and reading.
The class prefects were supposed to do that but she had to check to make sure they did not lie otherwise that would go into her record as captain and she wanted to leave behind a good legacy.

At 8:00 am she sat on the bus that headed to the math contest.
When she set foot on the math contest venue she felt little butterflies in her stomach.

She was happy. She would get to see Zayn.

They studied for a bit before doing the exam.
When she left the exam hall, she felt overjoyed to see Zayns school bus outside.
She walked over to some of the boys in his school.

"I am looking for Zayn Kuria."
She said but no one seemed to know where he was.
She walked around eye on every boy who was tall and had any features close to those of Zayn.

When she could not find him, she began to get worried that maybe he had not come as he had said.

She walked farther and was about to give up when she heard a group of boys talking.

"where the hell is he?" one boy asked searching for him around.

"he is probably next to the girls dormitory shoving his tongue down some innocent girls mouth."
Another replied.

Her heart skipped.
'surely they cannot be referring to my Zayn'
She thought.

She searched further until she was sure she had searched every where.
Everywhere but the girls dormitory.

She went there reluctantly,

She looked around but saw no one.
She talked to some girls but they did not seem to know him.

She let out a sigh.

Maybe it was better that he did not come than him cheating on me.
She thought.

She began to go back, until she passed a dormitory and heard some giggles.

She drew closer her heart in her hand.

And true to those boys words she found him. Only now he did not seem like the boy she had fallen in love with.

She saw him, kissing the neck of another girl.

"Zayn."

She managed to say.

Zayn looked back, shocked beyond.
He recognized that sweet voice.
The one he loved for the past five years.

He knew then that he was caught and his face changed from that of complete shock to calm.

"Miranda."

He said as he turned to look at her.

Tears had made their way to her.

"how could you do this?"
She said amidst tears and before he could say a word, she ran away.

That night she cried bitter tears.
She felt betrayed and used.
Like one of those stupid girls she thought she could never be.

Weeks passed and she received no letter from Zayn explaining things.
He had been lying to her but her question was "for how long?"

She cried for weeks until one night she decided she would not be one of those girls.

She would forget him, and she would focus on her studies and her life and most importantly on making her dreams come true so that she could make him pay.
