Sexy, Stunning, Sizzling... so mouth watering.
How can a guy be so intimidating & sexy as hell. "What I'd do to take a bite out of that-"
"Excuse me"
huh..... what? I snapped out of it an saw my dream guy, right in front of me.
"Will you go out with me?"
"oh my gosh!" my heart nearly popped out of my chest.
"YE.... YES, YES.. YES... I WANNA GO OUT WITH YOU" I said yelling, forgetting that I was in class.
The crowd in the classroom erupted into laughter, and so did Aven. Oh just uttering his name makes me shiver.
"Fat chance babe I was joking. I would never seriously go out with you loser. You fell for it, I had to tell you cause you've been pissing me off with your drooling over me for the past 5 years. Take a hint I'll never go out with a boring girl like you."
.... My whole world shattered in that single moment I was the happiest girl on earth, but how unrealistic was I. To think I had a chance.
My tears were filling my vision and he became blurry, so did the feeling I harboured for Aven Grey, for 5 years. I forced myself to keep my tears in. A girls tears were the most precious things and so my mum told me and how love at first site really did exist. But what am I meant to believe now. There all lies and every guy was fake.
I looked Aven Grey in the eyes for one last time, blocking out the laughter from the crowd, whispers I could here about me and tried faking my warmest smile to Aven, still holding the tears. He was clearly gloating at his little prank unaware of the pain he'd just caused a helpless girl. I got up from my seat and walked out of class not caring about the teachers warnings. Whipping my eyes, an the old me.
Im never coming back to that school again.
