When the tables turn

The devil wears.....Sunglasses?

"I'm dead, dear god please save me!" Slightly, opening my eyes, I peek through the gaps of my fingers to my right.

"I'm too young to die. I'm too young to die. I'm-"

"C'mon Tor, don't be a sissy. Stop rocking back and forth. This is not the fastest I've driven! you should've been with with me at that time though." he narrows his eyes on the road while carefully avoiding my persistent blows

"I pray to god that day never comes!" I exclaim, turning my head to heavens above.

"It was only but your fault. You were the one who wanted to be as slow as sloth and I had to drag your ass out of your damned bed. Be thankful that I'm your best friend." He says, pushing his sunglasses up in his luscious black hair with his index finger. I internally drool.

"Focus Victoria, focus! you're angry with him, ANGRY!"

I regain my inner sense, "Oh, now you want to get started again on waking me till late night because of your stupid- AAHHH" I scream as Logan narrowly dodges a delivery van.

"CAN YOU BE MORE CAUTIOUS? WE COULD'VE GOTTEN KILLED!"

"What fun would've been then, and see, this got you on time so your perfect little record isn't ruined." and we speed down the gates of Earl Winston High School.

 I give him a seething look. "BY GETTING US KILLED, RIGHT?"

"C'mon Tory" he pouts with his  puppy eyes well known by me which he knows I have a fetish for.

"Okay, all right, you're forgiven!" I huff, putting my hands up. How can I say no to him?

"Thanks Tor!" he leans in, and gives a peck on my cheek, and then gets out. I turn my head quickly, to hide the redness which stubbornly creeps in since some days.

This isn't the first time he has done it. For god's sake Tor, you've been freaking best friends since diaper days. And never have you felt this way!

But why do I feel butterflies these days?

"Do you want to stay there all day Tor?" he says tapping my window, making me hastily turn towards him sucking in a breath while he is popping My pop tarts which was my breakfast in haste.

"YOU-"

I snatch by bag from the back and catch up with him scrabbling as usual, and make our way to the school building. But neither did we know, we were in for a surprise, or more of a heart attack, nor were we prepared for such a situation....

As soon as we round the corner of the lockers corridor, just then Logan drops his bag on the floor.

"You dimwit, what-"

No sooner than I pick up his bag, I follow his line of sight and it's my turn to swear.

OH MY FREAKING GOD!

My eyes go all the way up from the pumps to the Gucci sunglasses, the taller stature than before, with more defined facial features but with the same devious smile, stands the gorgeous figure of a devil who wears what? Sunglasses?

How is it possible that this girl had to come only at time like this, only when I realised....

oh yes, damn that karma, luck and fantastic blend of real life which everyone is envious of, and which I have in plenty!

And how is it possible that the same Beth, aka Bethany Prior, can still effect the him, Logan, the ultimate player, the guy who's path is literally laid out by the hearts of the girls of Earl Winston.

Well, here she is, walking towards us. Our friends behind her with guilty expressions of not forewarning us. The only voice resonating in the packed corridor being of Beth's pumps. 

She halts in front of us, still not noticing me who's still holding his hand. Reflecting determination, and hope, she pleads in a clear voice to Logan.

"Logan, I'm so sorry, I made a huge mistake. I know I should've realized sooner, but I'm a huge idiot. I know you're never gonna forgive me. I was a middle schooler and how could I have possibly known what was I committing to. and then, I had to move out of here, but I'm back and I don't intend to leave until I undo it all. I'll just try, if not for being forgiven, to just make things right. And I hope, you'll see how stupid I was." Beth confesses, and even though she's a devil, in my eyes, I'll have to admit her eyes were reflecting the emotions welling up inside her and were on the brink of tears.

The more of a problem if she really means it.

Wow, I love my fabulous life, just fantastic!

Logan listens to all this with a shocked expression. Leaving my grip, he snatches up the bag from the floor, courtesy of me. Then storms back to the door, his lips drawn into a thin line.

Wow, can this day become more of a heart attack? I lean to the lockers for support as my other friends, Sam, Peter and Lara follow him, while I'm too shocked to do anything. Bethany follows suit.

I know Logan is in need of me, at this time, and I should probably go. No one but me knows his state right now! But it's a lot for me to take either, My best friend's childhood sweetheart is back for god's sake!

Confused? Let me take you back for a ride in the most amusing and heart throbbing roller coaster in the world, Ladies and Gentlemen, I present you my, Victoria Everly Heart's, life. And let me revert back to that faithful day.......
