THE OLD ME BACK

Chapter 21

"See, they are looking at us," he said while we were holding each other's hands. Obviously, their attentions were already on us as we passed by the corridor. We felt like we're now the center of attention here. "I feel uneasy now," he added.

Why does he get worried about it?

Instead of loosing his hand from mine, I rather held his hand very tight. He was a little bit shocked because of what I did, so I smiled at him that made him curved his lips.

You have no idea but I wanted you to fall deeply on me, Tyler. You have to fall on my trick.

"Don't worry baby, they can't believe yet there's already an us." With seduction on my voice, he got carried away so he held my hand very tight, too.

"How I wish I would be Alesha," someone murmured from the nearby. "Tyler is really cute, isn't he?"

Wherever we go, I always requested him to hold my hand. This was really a big slap to them who said I would be depressed because of Hanky. Did they think I'm very much weak when it comes to the field of playing love?

They must be mistaken.

In just a moment, I stared at Tyler who was starting to sweat. Sometimes he got to be shy in holding my hand because of the attention from people who knew two of us. How lucky he must be that his ultimate crush was already her girlfriend, right?

Showing to everyone that someone's with me, my bashers would really get envious. Even I could not believe I have an instant replacement to the one who broke my heart. However, no matter how much I must be used to the new one, I got this feeling of emptiness. I don't know. Maybe I want the feeling of holding one's hand but not really the person.

Geez! I must be really mad at the guy who first broke my heart.

"Hey, is there any problem, baby?"

Diverting my attention to him, I shook my head and composed myself.

"Let's eat," I offered, after waiting for about half hour for our order. We're already on the table, and the cafeteria got crowded because many wanted to see how far I was going with Tyler.

Acting as if they're not in my mind, I chose to focus my attention to Tyler who's now eating with me. This guy is the cutest of the group, and many girls are now envious to me. Though I'm trying my very best to enjoy his company, I tend to be guilty, knowing that he risked himself from the threats he received.

From my fanboys who got mad at him because the rumors told about him who was the cause of our break up with Hanky, and from his fan girls who disliked him all of a sudden because his first girlfriend is yours truly. Gosh, I forgot him, who is now the antagonist, currently approaching our table together with his boy members.

"Dude, can we talk?" Hanky asked, with a cold tone of his voice. We both stopped eating and darted our sight to him.

"I'm eating, dude, maybe later?" Tyler responded, then he plainly smiled. His smile was something to insult that Hanky got to cuss.

"Excuse me, do you really have manners?" I raised a question to intervene them. Hanky narrowed his eyes to me with his reaction of calming himself.

"Of all the guys in the world to replace me, why he?" He pointed out Tyler right away.

With the question he directly asked, I heaved a sigh and lifted my right eyebrow.

"Who are you to dictate me whom to choose?"

He leaned his both hands to the table and his face got to be closer to mine. He's measuring my courage the way how I uttered those words together with my sight on him. But Tyler intervened when he gripped Hanky's hand after he stood from the chair.

"Don't make a scene here, dude."

"Let go of me! You don't respect me, you know that?!" Hanky shouted, everyone's attention was caught when they all stopped eating. "Your current girlfriend is my ex! And we're both friends! We're in the same boy group! How could you not think of it before having this?!"

"And how could you not think of me while flirting with other girls huh?!" I asked him angrily, which made Tyler not required to answer his question. Hanky triggered me already that any moment from now I could throw away all the plates and food here. "Tell me! How could you not also think of it huh?! You made me treated less because you can find happiness from others than from me!"

"Baby, let's go now," Tyler offered his left hand to me, but I refused it and heaved a sigh.

"I can go alone! Let's end this!"

Hurriedly I walked out, with the shocking reactions of the people who witnessed the scene. Tyler was left speechless, together Hanky and their boy members. It's much better to end this much early because I'm not actually happy with it then.

Walking fast, I just took my bag from our room and left the school during school hours. I went home early, directly headed to my room. I cried there so much. I let out all of the burdens inside me. I must vent out everything that causes me in pain.

I have been carrying these questions left unanswered. I feel like I'm going to be insane at this very point.

Gosh, why is this happening in the first place? Am I a type of person who should be cheated on? Am I the one who is easily replaced by common girls?

I can't get you, Hanky! Argh!

While tears rolling on my cheeks, I darted my eyes to the poster on the wall. A poster containing the official picture of Boylight. Directly I wiped my wet cheeks. Composing myself, I stood from the bed and walked towards the wall. My eyes were still on the poster as new idea came up in my mind.

Boylight, a famous boy group in St. Jude. Every girl idolized them. Seven boys are there, all of them must fall on me. They should fall on my trap.

Hanky and Tyler are already down. I should choose him to be next. Good thing I have his number on my phone, so better I call him.

"Hello?" He uttered, seemingly busy due to the conversations of other boy members I heard over the line.

"Can we meet now?" Asking him straight to the point, he cleared his throat and chuckled.

"I'm sorry? I don't know you."

"Trust me, you'll be happy when you see me," with a seductive voice I replied.

"Ow, it's gonna be exciting. So where should I meet you then?"

"At the park. I want you to be alone there," I answered then hung up the call. I quickly changed my clothes and refreshed myself. When I went there after several minutes, I instructed my driver to buy foods so that he could not see me doing it.

I didn't usually go to the park, but I think this was a good place to do my next trap because there were many students there from different schools including St. Jude.

"A-Alesha? Wha--what are you doing here?" His voice was very familiar that I easily turned my head to him. How could not I recognize his voice when sometimes he has vocal duet with Hanky?

Without any word spoken, I approached him right away.

And kissed him. Not just a kiss, name it, I took a minute before I let go of his breath. He was left shocked and speechless, but there was a part of his reaction that he wanted for me to do it again in public. He must be glad on it.

We both looked each other and I bit my lower lip, saying, "You are now mine, Kurt."
