Everything Led Me To You - [Underwriting]

Chapter 20 - Chewing Over

I hopped onto my bed, switched on my laptop to start my social studies' assignment. Not more than 10 minutes had passed when I got distracted. So many thoughts were running through my head and I'd gotten blinded by them.

"He's gonna break my heart" I thought. "What's wrong with me? Am I not enough for anybody?" I was just 17, yet I'd almost gone through the number of heartbreaks almost equal to one third of my age.

"Damien wanted not me but someone else, even when I gave every thing to him. Am I that worthless?" I thought, as tears filled my eyes. Then all of a sudden, Rachel's words from freshman year flashed back into my mind - "Look, if Caleb wants to fight with me over such flimsy topics, I'd rather teach him a lesson by making him burn with jealousy. I would hang out with his friends during the time when I'm supposed to be with him. That's the only way which is gonna make him angry and he'll know what he's missing; me!"

This wasn't the first time Caleb had fought with me or let me down. The last time he had, Rachel had predicted that he'd do it again and for him to repent it.... Flashback....

I told them about the cheerleaders, the flirting, Donovan, Caleb's rudeness, everything.

"You should fuck Donovan", said Rachel angrily.

"What?" "What?" said both, Anne and I, confused.

"Yes. Fuck Donovan as revenge. Not kidding." repeated Rachel bluntly.

"What makes you think he'll agree to it?" I asked, curiously.

"Damn, Skylar, he liked you all through out freshman year."
.....

It's said that "You only realize the value of someone when you either don't have them or when they're gone." Does all of this mean that the way to make Caleb want me is by making him jealous by being with Donovan? I mean, if seen, Donovan is hot. And cute, and making out with such a fine guy shouldn't be a problem if that's gonna lead me to be with a finer guy who I actually crave for, right?
