This is not a love story.
It's about a girl, who no longer wants to shine in the spotlight.
A girl who no longer wants to be the villain.
A girl who no longer wants her husband.
A girl who finally took off her blindfold, and embrace her second chan...
Sometimes, I feel like that bump really got to me.
My eyes skewed towards Luke, who scanned my body. He bit his lower lip, probably wondering where I got the piercing.
Not telling you sucka!
I need to grow up.
"Anyways, you're going to Luke's party, right?" Winnie slapped my face. Not physically, of course, mentally.
"I can't." I looked at Luke and pouted, "I got grounded." His eyes narrowed. "Lukie," I called the nickname I gave him a while back, deciding to behave a little like my old self. "You know, I want to go, but parents. They suck!"
Everyone starts mumbling words of agreement.
Teenagers, so easily brainwashed.
Luke smirked, "We can always move the party." He took a step closer to me while I planted my feet on the ground, refusing to back away, "Just for you, Makee."
"Oh, Parker." I smiled, "Such a gentleman as always." I twisted my hair and giggled, placing a hand on his bicep. "I'm grounded for three weeks."
His smile dropped.
"I don't want everyone to suffer with me." I bashed my lashes, "So thoughtful of you all, though." I pat Luke's arm, but realistically I was slapping it as hard as I can. "Especially you, Lukie." I pinched him at the end, causing him to flinch slightly.
Despite our harmonious interaction, the atmosphere between us was anything but pleasant.
"Well, I got to go. Love you all." I fake laugh, then slowly back away, "Classes, you know? Ugh! Teachers!" My voice pitched.
"Tots," Winnie replied with a nod.
Finally, I dropped the act when I turned around wondering how in the world I can behave like that for four years.
I cleared my throat. "I need out," I said, thinking of ways to throw away my dumbbell behavior. Twirling my knob, I sighed, "This is what you get for acting all fake," I mumbled under my breath, grabbing the textbook and shoved it inside my backpack.
A tap on my shoulder caught my attention. I turned around to see Mary. "Hey," she chirped.
I smiled, "Sup Mar."
She tucked a strand of hair behind her reddened ear as she leaned against the lockers, crossing her slimmed leg one above the other. "So, you're not going to Luke's party?" she asked.
I zipped up my backpack, "Nope."
There is no way I'm going to Luke's party. That's the day Mina showed up with a super sexy dress, outshining me, and flirted with Luke all night long.
No, more like Luke trying to catch her attention the whole night while I stand in the corner of the room. Then I got felt up by some random dude and ended up sleeping with him.
Who did I sleep with?
Never mind...irrelevant.
I don't remember much except Luke and Mina's potentially gay friend fighting over her in the front yard.
Wait, who is Mina's potentially gay friend again?
I remember seeing him standing behind Mina all the time, protecting her, or something like that. I'm sure he had a thing for Mina.
I don't remember who...who is he?
Oh, forget it. He is just a background character - the second male lead.
Irrelevant.
Just like me.
I'm irrelevant or trying to be irrelevant now.
"Do you want to make it a girls' night?" Mary asked, nibbling on her lower lip.
Well, this is a change.
I flung my backpack over my shoulder and walked towards the classroom. "You don't want to go to Parker's party?"
She shook her head, "Truthfully, I'm not really into parties. I only go because all of you were going."
"Really?"
Mary nodded, "Peer pressure. You know?" She shrugged slightly.
"Okay. It's a girl night."
Mary squealed and threw a bear hug at me. "It will be so much fun!"
