It’s been a few days since Aaron asked me to be his prom date. I am still as excited as I was days ago and I just can’t wait to go to prom with him. I’ve already got my dress and shoes ready waiting for the day to come. The past couple of days, the school has been great. I’ve finished all my projects and everything else I needed to get done. My college applications have also been sent out and I’m hoping to get a response in a week or two.I turned to my right only to meet the beautiful blue eyes of Aaron. There is something about his eyes that just makes my dad feel good about everything. I smiled at him and he responded with a smile before turning his attention to the stars.Aaron and I are lying on the grass watching the stars at the lake. It’s very peaceful and I can’t think of anything else that would be great to do aside from this."Why are you staring at me like that?" Aaron asked after a moment"I wasn't staring," I lied.He scoffed, "Yes you were. You can't seem to take your
I tilt my head to the other side, trying to see if the tiara goes well with my dress. Noticing it was too shiny for my outfit, I quickly took it off. “Nope,” I mumbled, keeping it aside. I sighed, grabbing the other tiara and slipping it on. It wasn't bad, but it just didn't seem to work with the purple gown. If I was wearing white, it would have been perfect, but purple just doesn't go with it. I tossed it back on the table and tried the third one which was the last one, but just like the others, it felt off too. Maybe a tiara wasn't the right choice after all. I shook my head and decided to go with my hair down. It was simpler and wouldn't clash with my outfit.Tonight is the night…. The night I’ve been waiting for. It’s prom night and I am more excited than ever. I’m usually not a fan of school events but this just feels right. I can’t help but feel like I’m going to have a great time today and with Aaron by my side, it’s probably going to be one of the best nights of my life.
Aaron and I arrived at the school hall on time. We got in and met a bunch of our classmates who seemed happy to see us. I even got compliments which was weird because none of them like me, though I guess they are just being nice because we’re all going to leave and have our separate lives in college.I really can’t wait for that to happen. High school has never been a fun place for me, the drama and constant fake life are just too much. I believe college would be the best. Aaron and I had a few mocktails while we talked and tried to enjoy the evening. After a couple of while, he and I decided to dance. Aaron led the way, holding my hand and placing his other hand around my waist. We got to the center of the dance floor and began to dance, moving in the right tone of the song. I love to do classic dance, it’s so smooth and relaxing. "By the way, I noticed you’re staring too hard," I said wanting to tease him like he did to me. I plan to tease him about this all night long. "Is anyt
April 17th, 2012, was supposed to be THE day—my day. The day I had been dreaming about for as long as I could remember. I imagined that everything would finally align perfectly and that I would feel a sense of joy and fulfillment. But now, as I gaze at the moon, reflecting on how the day unfolded, I can’t help but feel like it had turned into the worst day ever.It all began when I finished getting ready for my birthday. I had planned every detail for months, and at that moment, everything seemed flawless. My makeup was on point, accentuating my features just right, and my outfit? Absolute perfection—a stunning dress that made me feel like a queen. The weather was just as I had hoped, with a gentle breeze and the moon shining brightly. It felt like the perfect day and nothing could ruin this day… or so I believed.Checking out my outfit, I heard a knock on my door and as I called for the person outside to come in, my mom entered, her bright smile lighting up her face and her blue eyes
No one truly understands the pain of heartbreak until the person they love shatters their heart. Today was meant to be a monumental day for Nathan and me—the day we would finally mate and become one. But life has a way of throwing curveballs when you least expect it.The moment I walked in, Nathan jumped away from Jessi and literally fell off the bed with a loud thud. Jessi giggled, flashing me a wicked grin that made my blood boil. I wanted nothing more than to punch her as she lay there, looking smug before turning back to Nathan with a seductive smile. "You were good, Nathan, so good," she laughed, sinking back onto the bed like it was the most natural thing in the world.I was frozen, unable to move or even lash out at her or Nathan. The betrayal cut deep, a slow, agonizing pain that felt like it was consuming me. Her words echoed in my mind: "You were good, so good…" Nathan and I had never crossed that line; he always claimed he wasn’t ready, but it was clear now—he just wasn’t
I ran to the only place that usually brings me comfort, the serene lake that has always been my refuge, but even there, I felt an emptiness that consumed me. The gentle ripples on the water reflected the beauty of the world around me, yet my heart was so heavy that I couldn't appreciate it. No matter how much I tried to breathe in the fresh air or soak in the tranquility, nothing could lift the weight of despair I was carrying.I found myself crying out to the moon goddess, my voice trembling with anguish. "Why me? Why does it always have to be me?" Life had never been kind, especially with my sister constantly overshadowing me, and things took a turn for the worse now that Nathan likes her more than me. I was still in disbelief that Nathan could betray me like this. After everything we had shared, it felt like we were destined to be. We had crafted a perfect vision of our future, and I just couldn’t grasp why he would shatter it all when we were finally on the brink of something beau
I still can't wrap my head around the fact that I'm mated to Jessi's ex-boyfriend. If she finds out, she's going to absolutely hate me, but honestly, that's not too different from how she feels about me now. It might even be a bit entertaining to watch her hatred intensify.I was dreading going home. I can't stand it here, but since I have no other place to go, I had no choice but to head back. Aaron dropped me off at my house, and as I walked in, my mom rushed over, worry etched on her face. "Bella, where have you been? Are you okay? Did something happen to you?" Her voice was filled with concern, and I could feel the weight of her questions pressing down on me.I glanced behind her and saw that everyone from the party had already left, which made sense. If Nathan wasn’t there, no one would stick around for me, and if he was, they'd all flock to him because, let's face it, he’s the one everyone wants to be around, not me. Mom noticed my silence and demanded, "Bella, answer me! What’
I couldn’t sleep well last night, my mind was occupied with so many thoughts that it was hard for me to concentrate and think further without having to linger back to Jessi and the things she could do to me. I know Jessi like the back of my hand and I know what she’s capable of doing, she’s not the girl that sits around and waits for karma, she fights back even if she’s at fault, and with the way I annoyed her last night, I have a deep feeling she’s planning the worst for me. It’s Monday morning and I’ve been standing in front of the school contemplating whether I should enter the school or skip today. I’ve never skipped a day of school as I love to maintain my attendance but with the way my birthday party ended last night, I can already feel my day going bad, I have a feeling that the whole school is going to bite my ass and make my day worst than it already is. After so much contemplating, I took a long deep breath and walked into the school. I kept my gaze down, walking slowly a

"Aaron and I are not in any relationship, and he's definitely not cheating on you with me," she said, walking towards me.I raised an eyebrow looking at her questionably, turning to Aaron who looked desperate for my approval. "How much did he pay you to come here and lie to me?"Pay me?" She questioned in disbelief "Aaron didn’t pay me, in fact, he doesn’t have to because he’s not lying about anything. I’m only here because he told me what happened between you guys and I didn’t want a little misunderstanding to ruin your relationship with him that’s all."I couldn’t help but scoff "Do you really expect me to believe that? I saw how happy he was when he met you, that smile on his face couldn’t have just been there for nothing.""Well, I don’t know about the smile but he was just happy to see me, that’s all." she explained before taking a moment to continue "I mean, I’m his best friend’s girlfriend, and seeing me is like seeing his best friend.""Aaron doesn't have any friends," I count
Going to school has always been like a chore to me. I hated going there but I believe today would be worse. I’m no longer with Aaron which means I’ll be all alone in school making it obvious that my life is nothing no less than a boring dream.I could already feel the nagging feeling of anxiety swirling through my veins as I thought of how things were going to be today. I can already tell it will feel like reliving the same day Nathan broke my heart. I still remember the pain I went through. The eyes that were googling all over me, the overwhelming feeling of being alone, the deep desire to just roll on the ground and never raise up… I really don’t want to feel that way again but deep down I know I’m about to go through that again. As Dad drove me to school, he parked the car in the driveway and kissed me on the cheek. "Make sure you enjoy every bit of this day pumpkin." He said, his smile seemed forced. I could tell that he already knew my day was likely going to be the worst. I
Hours had passed since Aaron left the house. I had dinner with Dad, who tried to get me to talk about what was happening between Aaron and me but I couldn't tell him anything. It’s hard to admit that I was cheated on twice in just two months—first Nathan, and now Aaron. It feels like I'm cursed, and maybe relationships just aren't meant for me.I don’t seem to understand why this keeps happening to me when all I do is love them. I’ve done nothing but love Nathan but he still cheated on me and now Aaron did the same.It hurts so much because I thought Aaron would never hurt me like that and if anything, I always believed that he would never cheat on me. After dinner with Dad, I collapsed onto my bed, desperately trying to distract myself from the pain I was going through. Just as I was starting to drift off, I heard a loud knock on my window. A sudden groan escaped my mouth “Ugh,” I already knew the person knocking was Aaron. He is the only one who knocks on my window and also the on
I grumbled in bed the second I got home. My eyes were already sore from all the tears I’d shed and my heart was completely shattered from all the pain I was feeling.I still can’t believe Aaron would do something like this to me. After everything we’ve shared. Every moment we had, he just had to shatter everything and be with another girl. Why would he want someone else when I’m here for him? Why can’t he just love me the way I love him? Why can’t he just be loyal to me like I am to him?I want to say all men are the same and that they’re a piece of shit and a total jackass. But then there is Dad- a man who loves my mom with all her flaws. I wish all men could be like him, at least then fewer hearts would be broken.A beep from my phone jolted me back to reality. I didn’t bother checking my phone but as I heard it beep again, I checked to see that Aaron had sent me a message wanting to come over for pizza night. I couldn't believe he had the audacity to message me after what he did t
I can’t believe I didn’t realize this sooner! I really love Aaron—it’s so obvious now. I love hanging out with him, chatting, being around him and honestly, I just don’t want to let him go. It’s clear as day that I love him; I just needed a moment to see it and I’m glad I finally did. Aaron means everything to me. He makes me laugh and smile, and he’s always there for me. Spending time with him is just the best.As I was walking down the street, hailed a taxi, and told the driver to take me home. I had to change into something nicer before meeting Aaron. While I was in the taxi, I got even more excited about him! I can’t wait to tell him how I feel, but then I started wondering—does he feel the same way? What if he doesn’t? Does he think about me like I think about him?So many thoughts were swirling in my head making me nervous about the situation. I can’t seem to figure out if Aaron likes me, all that I know is that he’s super nice and kind to me, but I’m not sure if that means he
The silence between us was awkward, but the strong noise of the rain pounding down made it feel better."It's a lovely weather, isn't it?" Nathan said, breaking the cold silence.I nodded. "Yes, it is." I turned away to the window, looking at the rain and just wishing that I get home as soon as possible. It's already late, and I don't want Aaron to come for our regular pizza night and not find me there. It's already bad enough that I didn't tell him anything. The drive continued in silence until I decided to turn on the music and it started playing my favorite song- a song Nathan disliked. I turned to him and asked, "How is this playlist playing my favorite song without me even searching it up?""I was listening to it on my way to the cafe," He replied casually "But I thought you hated the song."He scoffed. "I did, but now that I listen to it nearly every day, I see the hype. I like it.""Well, that's new. I'm so surprised.""You shouldn't be. I mean, ever since you left, I've been
