Scarlett's POV:
"Oh my god!" i said laughing at Jason's reaction when he offered for a blond girl to go out with him but she shocked him saying "No".
"well i guess Mr. Player started losing his Powers" i said after catching my breath.
"Well, just so you know? i wasn't using my powers yet, besides i forgot to wear my lucky charm today “Jason said with a grin.
"You have a lucky charm?” Eric raised an eyebrow at Jason.
"Who doesn't?" Jason asked.
"You believe in this shit?" Eric said grinning.
"These things does exist!! and for your information’s? I’m lucky whenever i wear that sock, that's why i never wash it" Jason winked at Eric.
"Ewwwww " we all said "so the damn stinky sock is the source of all that smell i was asking you about?!" Eric was now walking towards Jason putting his right hand on Jason's shoulder and patted on it "dude you seriously need a f***** help" Anna and i started giggling while Eric couldn't chuckled.
"I can't believe that you actually never washed your sock, it’s just disgusting" Anna said with a disgusting look.
We were in our way to the cafeteria, I’m so hungry, i know I’m hungry the whole time, but this is different, well that's because i haven't eat breakfast, Suddenly someone dropped his tray on the cafeteria floor. After he bumped me.
he was brown curly haired boy with brown eyes.
"I'm sorry it wasn't your fault ,it's completely mine"
He said with a British accent.
This is just wow, good job Scarlett!!you should focus more when you're walking!!
"I'm.. sorry I'm stupid, i didn't see you it's just that...uh let me help you.." I started helping him with handling food that was now covering the floor.
"It's not a big deal Scarlett" he said i was a bit surprised that he knows my name.
"How come you know me but i don't know you?" I asked him.” actually , i know you, you won the winter competition good audition by the way". he finished his words with a breathtaking smile.
"Thanks I’m glad you liked it, so what's your name?" I asked smiling back. “I’m Joshua ,and I’m from London." he said "you're a new student?" I asked "No, it's just that I’m not really good at social life, i actually found it so hard to mix up, that's why you probably don't know me, in fact we go to the same classes “he finished.
"Wow!! Really, i never noticed, but it's nice to meet you Joshua "i said smiling he smiled back.
"You can come sit with us at lunch if you want to" .i offered him to come sit with us.so now he's sitting with us on the table.
We sat on the table and then Jason and Eric joined us later.
"So ,you're telling me that you like drawing more than playing football?"
Eric was acting like a detective, that’s because he was asking him all these questions “the thing is, i don't like football" Joshua said making it seems like no big deal.
okay if you want to survive in this high school you don't want to do any of the following things:
1: never mess with cheerleaders.
2:never mess with football players.
3:never mess with football players by telling them you don't like Football!!.
Eric and Jason were football players and you may guess who's messing with them.
I need to do something cause i have a strong feeling that these two volcanoes are about to explode and burn Joshua's pretty face.
But before i did anything Anna was the first to talk.
"guys? i think he's coming to our table" I frowned not having idea who she was talking about.
"Who?" I asked and turned to see who's she's talking about.
Only to see Anthony AKA 'the jerk'
"Scarlett! no, I’m talking about...you know" she finished saying while she looked at me.
Maybe he's coming to talk to me after our fight last night..
When i looked at him he turned his head to my left side where Joshua was sitting.
He stopped where Joshua was sitting.
"Joshua" he was staring at him with an angry eyes.
"Yes?" Joshua answered him with a nervous but angry eyes.
Do they know each other?
The rest of us were just keep watching the Show.
"Can i talk to you for a sec?" Anthony asked him but it was an order more than a question.
"Yes, you can talk" Anthony closed his eyes for a second it seems like he did it to swallow his anger, cause he seems calm right now.
"We won't talk.." he looked at me when he said "here" am i wrong or he's doing this to hurt me.
But i didn't see this coming i mean Joshua and Anthony?
Normal in the bizzaro world, well because Joshua is the opposite of Anthony
Even though Anthony was so sweet when he was five.
But this Anthony isn't the same ,you see cause we're talking about the devil here.
"Okay, well i guess then i will see you later" Joshua said standing nervously.
They started walking away from our table "wow!! i didn't see that coming" Anna said "yeah maybe they're friends or something" Eric said.
"How things going with the weirdo?" Jason asked, i wasn't sharing things with them lately, cause i was busy enough getting a detention and fighting with that jerk. "i don't know, he's blaming me for something i didn't do, i don't remember that I’ve ever tried to hurt him in any way...we keep fighting…like the whole time" i finished holding my head with both of my hands…i was tired of this.
"Wow! i mean what are you gonna do about it?" Anna said "i don't know should i do something?"
"No you're totally not gonna do anything !!you just have to move on, like he did. i mean don't you see he's acting like a jerk to you so why would you bother yourself to fix things" Eric said, i like the way Eric is so protective over us. he's ready to listen and give us advices...always.
"I don't know, maybe you should ask your mom or him, i mean maybe something happened and you don't remember, i think it's not fair to just give up already” Anna exclaimed...i think she's right, how didn't i think of this already?
I'm not the type of people who hide and run away from their issues.
I prefer to face them.
"yeah and remember no matter what we're here for you to support you and help you Scar "Eric said smiling at me.
Awwe!! isn't that sweet?
"Thanks you guys.by the way, haven't you notice that Joshua didn't come back yet?” I said checking the cafeteria.
"I guess he won't come back" Jason said "can i have the rest of his food?" Jason added looking at Joshua's food.
"Don't even think about it" Anna said laughing at him.
"bad boy Jason ,bad boy" i added "yeah sock's boy you're acting rude" Eric mentioned the lucky charm so Jason would remember it and that was all that he talked about for the rest of the launch.
**************************
Anthony's POV:
"What the hell was that??"I asked him furiously. Joshua frowned pretending he doesn't know what I'm talking about.
"What do you mean?" He asked knowing this guy for ages i can feel he has no clue.
"What you think you're doing sitting with them, or more specifically her?" I asked him. he was still confused.
"So you're telling me that this was only a coincidence? You're not up to something?" I asked not sure if he has bad intentions anymore. “if you dare tell a soul…" I threatened, I don't want anyone to know what happened in London two years ago.
"Anthony...what happened in London stays in London, I only moved here to forget about it all and open a new chapter in my life…but then I was surprised to see that you moved back, and what about Megan?" He asked making me feel anger all over again.
"Don't dare ask about her, don't you even dare say her name!" I exclaimed don't want him to even think of her.
"Why does it bother you that I was sitting with that girl anyway? oh now I get it…it's her isn'tit? She's the one you've been talking about since forever" He said smirking, as if it was the best discover.
"Screw you!!" I said leaving him there, I can't believe he was my best friend once...
I wanted to make sure no one would ever know..about everything that has happened...
I knew that coming back here wasn't a good idea...but it was the only way to run from my father and his wife… and everything!
He doesn't care about what I want, he only cares about his company, and he thinks I'm the perfect one to continue the business after he retired… which I don't want to, because I don't want to...how simple is that? I decided I should move back here, stay away from the crap and especially the incident that happened two years ago…I think it would be fair for Megan too if I stayed away. Even though I care about her, but I’m only good at hurting people.
Maybe in the end it's for the best.
I heard my phone buzzed, a message was shown on my phone screen.
'i don't blame you for something I choose to do, it's not you it's me, if you don't comeback you won't like consequences '
From:Megan
My eyes widened…
*************************
Scarlett's POV:Finally, the sound i love the most. I was at the park playing my violin, closing my eyes to every melody, it feels so perfect.I open my eyes looking to the sunset, like there's nothing more beautiful. the trees were singing along with my music as the birds were dancing above, they were enjoying the sky, as if we're not in December, whistling and feeling free, i finally finished, lowering my violin feeling the breeze at last, it didn't feel this cold when i was playing.I realized it was time to go home, my mom would worry that I’m late, in fact i didn't see her the whole day.I turned to leave but i froze when i saw him, Anthony. His black eyes were focused on me, he was lost in his thoughts, i wonder what kind of thoughts."I already hate you. And now i hate you even more." he exclaimed leaving me there frozen, it wasn't the cold that made me feel cold this time, it was his words. How could he not hate me more? it was because of his mom that i choose to play violin,
Scarlett's POV:All i think about right now is Anthony..It was the middle of the night and he's still not home, after i ran to my room i stayed there, my mom came twice to check up on me, but i wasn't ready to talk to her, yet..I wanted to call Anthony but i remembered i don't have his phone number...i was so worried about him, he's not use to be that late, i wonder what could happen if he knows the truth, i bet things will change between us when he know.i was about to close my eyes and go to sleep but…i heard footsteps on the stairs, he's finally here, i opened my door i wanted to check up on him, i looked at him, he opened his door and was about to enter his room but he stopped, he shoot me one of his deadly glares, as if i was the only source of annoyance in this world, i froze didn't move, suddenly he closed the door after he entered his room. i sigh, i understand his feelings, i don't blame him anymore.I entered my room but i couldn't sleep, i decided i should play violin sin
Scarlett's POV:"Ugh..my head ". I said holding my head between my hands.what do I expect after crying the whole night, I woke up looking at the place where my violin fell last night. well it wouldn't fell if someone didn't threw it on purpose.if there's something I feel for Anthony now then it's nothing less than hate.I took a quick shower and dressed up for school. I looked to the mirror."oh! no! ". I said checking the scar on my cheek. it was new, I touched it with my right hand."ouch! still hurting". I said .I opened my door to see Anthony facing me, i ignored him immediately. i can't even face him, I think I need time as much as he do.I decided to not have my breakfast. I kissed mom on the cheek, " morning mom, I'm not in the mood for breakfast today"."oh! darling? you feel any better? ". mom asked me with her worried eyes. "i'll let you know when I' am mom". I said holding my backpack.I was ready to go to school cause i already texted Jason to come pick me up, i was out
Scarlett's POV:He was moving closer and I froze, unable to move.He raised his thumb and touched the scar on my right cheek softly. my heart started racing and my breath was fading slowly.His eyes fixed on my scar for a moment seemed more like eternity. we stood there without words. his eyes traveled to my eyes.He started saying, but I suddenly glimpsed a spark of anger inside his eyes.He hit the table behind me with his hand.he was angry again. for no reason. But then closed his eyes to swallow the anger, he was calme once again."you know, err_the thing on your cheek". He said nervously trying to look at everything but my eyes.I focused my eyes on him, he was so bad at this."you broke my violin, nothing on earth would make me forget about it". I said with a sad voice."It's just a damn violin, a normal damn violin". he said with annoyed voice."No it's not, that violin was the nearest thing to my heart over the passed twelve years, but you broke it". I said feeling a tear fal
Scarlett's POV:I stood there frozen, for a second I imagined not going to the party after all I went through today, picking the dress and listening to Anna's long speech every time I don't like a dress.he was just about to get out of my room, but all of sudden Anthony was beneath me, while me? I was on top of him!! apparently I jumped on him, the next thing I was doing was, beating the shit out of him with the bear I was holding. I imagined myself as his maid instead of going to that party, I started to lose it."Get off me you criminal!! That really hurts!!" he said while I continued what I was doing. "So you want me to stay here with you as your maid!! And not go to the party with my friends!!! hyaaaa" I said beating him again on his head. "Okay !okay!! just get offf meeee" he said screaming, yeah that's how things work.I took my phone away from him "don't mess with my phone again" I said getting off him. "Plus I still have your naked picture from the day we had shower together
Scarlett's POV:I gasped when a tall guy punched Jake on his face."Who the hell are you!!!?"Jake asked, "I'm someone she needed his help" he said while Jake froze, he glared at me ,"just so you know, I Soo cheated on you, and not only once" he said and left. I felt a horrible pain in my stomach, the way his words hurt me…I was lost and about to fall apart, but the boy held my hand and took me to the back yard, I don't even know this guy didn't even look at his face, when I finally had the chance I raised my head to look at him to see he was already staring at me, his blue eyes were locked with mine…he was a tall guy with a short blond hair."I'm sorry you had to go through this, but why are you by yourself, and believe me someone like you can do better than that brat..."he started saying making me smile a bit, my heart warmed at his words."I know...thanks anyway" I said looking to the black sky, the cold air hit me, I noticed I was wearing this dress in a cold night like this, The
Scarlett's POV:"You could've just wake me like normal people do Anna!!" I said standing up after Anna pushed me out of my bed. "well it didn't work, that's why I pushed you off the bed!! what the hell am I and Nat doing here? Don't tell me i did some stupid shit after all the drinking last night! "she said coming closer to me. "plus I have a horrible hangover, and I can't remember anything, so please do me a favor and tell me what i got myself into last night!!"she said holding her head with her hands. "well, last night you told me you have a big crush on Eric" I said joking. "what?" Anna said with her eyes wide open, I’ve noticed her pale face, and let's not mention her shaky hands. "calm down girl!! I was just kidding" I said laughing at her reaction. “well I know I’m no good person when I’m drunk so…yeah" Anna said laughing nervously.“you do like him!!" I said jumping and laughing at the same time. "shut up!! we don't want him to hear that now don't we?" she said laughing. She p
Scarlett's POV:"I needed an employer since I fired one today. However since you can't act like people? Then you're leaving me no choice ". I looked at mom with wide eyes. "mom you're not telling me that... "I said moving closer to mom."In fact, yes dear, I'm telling you that starting from this day, you'll be working with me, both of you are gonna start acting like people, and as a punishment you're gonna have to do home works and studying together too, understood? " mom asked us with an angry eyes."yes ma’am" we said looking at each other."As a start, you can go clean this mess as a team!! and remember team never fight" and with that mom left to her room."this is all your fault, I was just gonna order pizza "I said angrily."it's not my fault that you washed rice with soap ". he said laughing again."whatever ". I said started cleaning the mess."clean this mess and clean your selves while I order pizza "mom said."extra cheese "I said forgetting about everything.mom shot me a
Scarlett’s POV:I watched as Anthony made his way towards me, I backed away, still staring at his black eyes, not smiling back. “Scar…come on, didn’t you miss me?” he asked, “I think we should text Eric to come” I started, “what? Seriously?” he said, I gave him a serious look.“Yeah, since you’re afraid to stay alone with me!” I snapped, his eyes widened, “That was nothing!! Scar, you got it wrong…” he started, I shook my head making my way pass him.“Scarlett….Please, listen to me!” his voice was louder this time. “And why should I listen to you? I mean, you didn’t even bother to tell me you were going to London…do you know how much I was hurt? Do you know that I spend the whole night looking for you everywhere?” I said, feeling my eyes watering just remembering that night.“I was supposed to party my winning, but I found myself shattered…” I added, “Scarlett listen…” he said, closing his eyes, seeming sad, and hurt.“No…you listen...can you imagine how bad I felt when I had to find
Scarlett’s POV:I was still not convinced, how could Anna ask something like that? “He’s a really nice guy…” she was still convincing me. She glared at Nat, trying to get some help from her, “You got nothing to lose, you were trying to push everyone away lately” Nat stood, and approached me. “You’re all messed up, you really need to stop making excuses like studying, or…come on, you even started cooking!” Nat shook her head, as if that was the worst thing ever.“Steffen dies!” I snapped, she gasped, placing a hand on her heart, “And so Enzo…and guess who killed him, it was Steffen!!!” I said middle fingering her, her eyes widened, I could see Anna’s arms crossed over her chest.“IS THAT TRUE!!!” Nat yelled, staring at Anna, “NO!! She’s just messing with you!!” Anna said, pulling Nat in a tight hug, and gave me a deadly glare.“If I agree to go on that blond date…can you stop all the drama?” I said, I know already that that blond date won’t work, because I was sure and certain that I w
Scarlett’s POV:“What?” I asked, my mother was talking as if she had just won the lottery, “Mom…he didn’t call, it’s just another game…” I said, she shook her head, “No! Wait, why would you say that? This is your best friend, and he didn’t leave” she added, “He just left because Megan wanted a closure” she said, I opened my mouth to say something but didn’t even bother.I started to walk upstairs, but mom grabbed my hand, “He’s not a bad boy, you think I’d let my daughter love someone like that?” she said, I sighed, “What do you want me to say mom? I can never believe Anthony, he really screwed up this time!” I said, “Even if he was back, I don’t want to talk to him, like never…” I said, she gave me a surprised look.And with that, I went upstairs, but when I was about to enter my room, I stopped, turning around slowly, looking to his empty room that was opened. I sighed, shaking my head, then stepping inside my room.Then suddenly, my phone started ringing, I didn’t bother to see who
Scarlett’s POV:The shock left me breathless, “Are you okay?” Sophie asked me, “Are you sure?” I asked her, my knees trembling, “Positive, she told me this morning!” she said, seeming honest.My eyes widened, he left? Was that his plan from the beginning? To be everywhere around me, to create this whole new world of caring, loving and protecting, and then disappear? Just like that? And take everything with him to London, with Megan…I nodded, “Thank you for telling me” I said my voice cold, Sophie gave me a concerned look. It was the first time that I couldn’t react, or show I was in pain, maybe because I was getting used to it, I mean it wasn’t the first time. He had done this before!It was so hard to focus inside the class, it was literally the worst day of my life, never felt so needy, or weak before now. Staring at the void, spacing out, and not having any idea what was going on around me.*****************“I had no idea…I swear!” Eric said on lunch, I was still staring at the vo
Scarlett’s POV:I had a horrible pain in my stomach, I felt like I want to puke from the shock, I was completely shocked, shattered and confused…Was he pretending all the time? Our friendship was just a game? Why would he do that? Why would he offer to go somewhere and then he ask for backup, saying he doesn’t want to be left alone with me…I could feel my knees weakening, and I couldn’t find him anywhere… but I knew who to talk to, I knew who had the answer.“ERIC!!!” I yelled, walking towards him, feeling frustration, madness and almost ready to throw up my heart from pain.“What is it?” he asked, seeming worried, “what is this?” I asked him, showing him the messages. He narrowed his eyes reading, suddenly his eyes widened, “is that Jason’s phone?” he asked, changing the subject.“Answer the damn question…” I said, opened his mouth to explain, “It’s not what you think…” he started, I shook my head, “okay then…tell me what am I supposed to think?” I asked, “Listen, you really have to
Scarlett’s POV:He placed the necklace around my neck, his breaths tickling my neck, I couldn’t believe he was so close to me. My heartbeats accelerated wildly, as if my heart could never beat faster than that. But I realized I was wrong, my heart could beat faster than that, because Anthony’s words made me lose my mind…“You’re so fucking beautiful, Scar” he whispered, and I was so messed up, I closed my eyes, but suddenly, I opened them to notice he had already pulled back, his eyes still staring at me.“Thanks…” I looked away from him nervously, feeling myself blushing, “how do you feel?” he asked, like I’m about to lose my mind?“I honestly don’t know…I just know that I want to do this” I said, he smirked, “I know you’ll nail it there! I heard you playing, and it makes me feel so good Scar…” he finished, his eyes looking deep into my eyes.“Thanks for everything…” I said, opening the door, and step outside his car.*****************I was holding my violin, heading to the back sta
Scarlett’s POV:I froze, Anthony’s hands on my waist. Our eyes locked for what looked like ages, but suddenly…“Anthony!!” it was a familiar girl’s voice, Anthony and I both looked at the girl, who wasn’t alone, she was with Lucas.“Emilie?” we both said, a wide smile on her face, “yeah!” she said happily, walking towards us, I glanced at Anthony who cleared his throat, and let go of my waist nervously.“What are you doing here?” Anthony asked her, “Just hanging out with my brother, before tomorrow’s competition” she explained, “you’re one of the competitors?” I asked, she nodded, I looked at Lucas, why the hell didn’t he mention that before?“I swear I had no idea…” Lucas said when he saw the confused annoying look on my face, “Yeah, I didn’t think it was a big deal…” she said, I glanced at Anthony who was still glancing at me, but he looked away nervously when our eyes met.“It’s good you’re here…” Emilie said, looking at Anthony, who shrugged, “do you want to split up? And go have
Scarlett’s POV:Anthony’s face was inches away from mine, his hands cupping my cheeks, and his eyes were roaming my over my face, “and there’s something else that you should know…” he said, his face so serious, and I can tell how nervous he was.“I knew it!!! I knew you left me for her!” Megan’s voice interrupted us, Anthony’s eyes widened, and I couldn’t believe she got the nerve to come inside my house after she asked him to move out, and choose her over me.“What the hell are you doing inside my house?” I said, walking towards her, she raised an eyebrow, “I came to apologize, because I was leaving tomorrow, and because I thought I was wrong about you and Anthony since I confirmed that there was nothing going on between the two of you…oh well, I guess I was right!” Megan said, approaching me, “is it her weird hair? Or her ugly face?” she said, pointing to my face, looking at Anthony.“MEGAN!!” he yelled, walking closer to me, he stepped in between us. I was shocked, I had no idea wha
Scarlett’s POV:I couldn’t believe that the competition is tomorrow. I was all stressed out, the winner would have a chance to go to Oxford the college of art, and it was my big dream!But I was having a bad issue, I had a lot to do lately, that I forgot to pick the dress I was wearing for my performance. Not just that, I was really worried and not having any idea what to play.I put my violin on my desk, it was getting annoying, and it was getting late, but the same issue kept popping on my head, what should I play? I wanted something unique, something to guarantee me winning.And there was something else, Anthony was avoiding me lately, and I missed him so much. Eric said that he didn’t want to distract me from practicing, but I was so sad thinking he wouldn’t even call to ask if I was doing well, or if I wasn’t stressing. Didn’t he miss me like I missed him?I could feel a tear falling down my cheek, but I shook my head, I won’t think about him! not anymore, but I thought to myself
