DYLAN KING

For the first time ever, she came up to me personally to get the car keys and it was weird to see her with a book in her hands.

Reading?

She had good grades and looked like a total nerd but she didn't read as much as I always thought she would.

I plopped down on the driver's seat with a sigh, turning to face her. I poked her shoulder softly after noticing she didn't acknowledge my presence "Hey"

No reply.

"Hey"

I pinched her cheek, enjoying how soft it felt beneath my fingers.

Man, you gotta touch this. It feels like heaven.

"Look who has soft chubby cheeks, chubby chubby cheeks"

For the love of pure satisfaction, I pinched it again and again and again and again and again_

"Leave me alone Dylan" She said and sadly withdrew her cheek.

"What got your panties in a twist?"

She went back to her book and once again, didn't give me a reply. "Did I do something wrong?"

"Yes, you did"

"What did I do?"

She finally tore her gaze away from her book, giving me the most serious expression I had ever seen on her face. "Do you have any idea how long I've been waiting here?"

Well, she's pissed.

Scratching the back of my head in confusion, I replied "Five minutes?"

"Two hours! You kept me waiting for two hours!"

"Oh" I said in realisation "I was kinda busy, you know. I ha_"

"You were behind school having a make out session with Cassandra"

DIANA

"I'm sorry, okay? I'm sorry for wasting your time"

Prom was just a day ago, literally less than twenty four hours and just when I thought he'd keep a distance between he and Cassandra, they got even closer.

Even if it's just for a whole day to at least, show her she did something wrong.

After practically getting disgraced by Cassandra during lunch, I had to spend the whole time in the library, including my free period.

Then I heard whispers like I did earlier and they weren't just about me, it was about Caslyn walking around together like couples.

It made me feel a million times worse, I felt humiliated. It only proved to people the lie they believed about me pushing myself on him was true.

Ugh, I could just yank my hair out as people spoke about it right in front of me.

Just so I wouldn't believe just the gossips, I got out of the library to be sure and guess what?

I didn't have to walk all around school cause they were right there in front of me, making out and didn't even notice me.

I felt like crying but then I discovered that'll just be extremely stupid cause think about it, why would I cry cause he's spending time with Cassandra.

Yeah, he didn't respect the fact Cassandra and I weren't in good terms but he'll at least choose a side.

And that side happened to be her cause why not?

They were friends or lovers or whatever they were long before I came into the picture.

So I got over it and went back into the library to hide till school ends.

The last bell came to my rescue and I sprinted out of school before anyone got the chance of pointing fingers and laughing.

Then I waited by the car for minutes, no sign of Dylan. The parking lot was slowly beginning to get empty and still no sign of him.

Hoping he wasn't dead, I searched all around school for him and yep, you got it right, I found him with Cassandra.

Accompanied with her to other Barbies and his minions.

You don't wanna know how much of a disgrace it was, you really don't.

Then I walked up to him and silently asked for the car keys.

Then it started.

Cassandra, her other two and his minions made fun of me and guess what Dylan did about it?

Nothing.

"Come on Cupcake, I said I'm sorry."

He made an effort to hold my hand but the moment he did, I yanked it out of his in annoyance.

"So you're gonna apologize now? When we're both alone? You watched them make fun of me, you were right there and didn't do anything about it"

"They're just kidding with you"

"You don't understand how it feels to be humiliated, do you? Cause you've always been pampered since birth_"

"Stop it"

"No, it's your turn to listen to me and know how it feels to stay silent when people do things you don't like Mr Richkid. It's time to know how hurtful it gets to not have everything or everyone wrapped around your finger_"

"You're making me mad"

"Oh, you should be mad cause you you're not getting all you want like usual_"

"Just shut up already! You should know this better than anyone else!"

🦋. 🦋. 🦋. 🦋. 🦋. 🦋

The skies were dark, my eyes were strained, books and papers were scattered before me, my hair was messy.

To sum it up, I didn't feel so good.

I took off my glasses and placed it on the table, rubbing my eyes out of tiredness.

I tried multiple times to arrange the books and take care of the mess I caused but the most I did was to stretch out my hand then drop it.

People get lazy.

I heard Dylan try to come in silently and failed by accidentally slamming the door shut.

Acting like I was still mad at him, my head snapped towards his direction.

If he wasn't holding a chocolate fudge cake, I would've pulled the angry look off but unfortunately, a smile crept it's way to my lips.

He took a seat in front of me and placed the cake on the table. "I'm sorry about what happened earlier"

"I'm also sorry for bringing that up"

"You shouldn't be, I would've done the same out of anger and you're right, I should've done something when they made fun of you and I don't have an excuse."

"It's okay, maybe I overreacted"

"Totally worth it and you're also right about the humiliation part, I've never really been humiliated by so many people so maybe I don't understand how it feels a_"

"Can I have my apology cake now?"

"Would you calm down and let me complete the apology speech"

"I'm afraid not my humble servant, you queen deserves to be fed"

"You first have to forgive me, then you'll have the cake"

"The cake determines if I forgive you or not you idiot" I paused and thought of things I could make him do as a return for my forgiveness. "Also, you have to promise to get me food whenever I want till your mom and cute little sister get back from their trip"

"Geez Cupcake, you need to see the doctor wth your food iss_"

"Do you want my forgiveness or not?!"

"Fine, I'll make you food"

Spotting brown icing at the side of his mouth, I pointed to get his attention but he was too busy starring at my cake "Oh, and you have a little something here"

I stretched out my hand and using my thumb, wiped it off.

Then he held me by my wrist, pulled my thumb closer to his face and licked it.

"Ew! That's disgusting!" I said and yanked my hand out of his. I could still feel his saliva and the effect making my thumb tingle.

"To you it is" he said and you wouldn't believe what happened next. It went in slow motion, his fingers making contact with the knife, raised it in the air and then the worst happened.

He aimed for my cake.

"Theif!"

"What do you mean theif? I baked that and it took a lot of time and energy"

"Doesn't mean you get the right to eat it"

I huffed, stood up and picked up the delicious delight so I'd hopefully get to eat it alone in my room without any interruption from Dylan. The moment I had the cake in my hands and was about to leave, he wrapped his fingers around my arm and pulled me back.

The pull made my hands slip off the cake and down it went towards him and landed on his head.

"My cake!"

"My hair!"
