Two Years Later
It's been two years since I've had a crush on Xander,the stupid crush that doesn't want to go away. I angrily slurp my smoothie. I thought with time, whatever feelings i had for him would eventually wear off but they haven't, they're still there, even more stronger than before.
He's more handsome after aging more,but he's never paid attention to me, even though we've been tightly part of the Elites more because of Ronan and Kim's relationship,I've been invisible to him,like I've never even existed. I tried to get close to a few guys in hopes of getting rid of the the crush,but now it's no longer just a mere crush but real freaking feelings, because it's only him I want to touch me.
I stand there staring at him while he organizes his team and coaches them on behalf of their real Coach who isn't going to be around for the next three days. His face is so serious,his forehead creases with deep lines as he speaks with authority and his biceps tightening with every hand gesture in his football vest,which makes him appear even more attractive.
After school,Kim and I go to our favorite Cafe.
"I don't think I'll make it to the party," She speaks in a resigned tone.
"Why not? You'll be with Ronan anyway," I say.
She sighs.
"I know,but I bet he's going to be very busy,I wouldn't want to be a liability to him."
"Kim,you're his girlfriend not his young sister,he wants you to go with him,so why won't you just go? Plus,I think it's best to mark your territory,there's going to be girls there, college girls."
"That's the thing, I'm not comfortable with parties,more worse, college parties."
"Fine,I give up."
Kim and I are best friends,it's just been the two of us in our little bubble,it hasn't been easy with many people hating us for two good years,but we've made it this far,only one more year left.
Marcus invited me to the party, I'm curious about how college parties turn out,only the Elites were invited as a show of respect for winning the championship for the second time,making the former Blackwool Royal High football team proud.
*Later*
I text Kim before I leave and then meet up with Marcus, Noah and Leah. Leah has been our friend since back then,her and the guys are the only people who don't seem to hate us. Noah is the closest to us on the team,he's more like our male bestie.
We reach the frat and the area is packed for sure,we immediately get on with the drinking and dancing. Hours later, I'm on cloud nine, dancing and grinding against Leah when something catches my eye,Ronan. He's walking up the stairs holding on to a girl's waist who I can't properly see because his body is blocking my view.
I narrow my eyes, thinking I'm probably hallucinating,Leah stops dancing when she realizes I paused,she follows my eyes and gasps.
"That's.."
Before she can finish,I get to see the side profile of the girl.
"What the hell?"
They both disappear Inside a room.
My mood turns sour,Noah comes to us and his smile vanishes when he sees our faces.
"Whatsup? You guys look pale."
"Ronan." I say one word firmly.
Without even saying more,Noah looks up the stairs,so he saw them too.
"Noah." I glare, waiting for an explanation,he knows something.
We hold eye contact for a few seconds until he breaks
"Okay fine, those two started flirting since we got here,she's been sticking to him like glue and by the looks of things,he seems to like it because he didn't stop her," he shrugs and looks away.
"And?"
"And what?" He plays innocent.
"I know there's more,you just looked away and bit the inside of your cheek," I point at his cheek.
"I suspect Ronan has always been cheating on Kim."
"I knew there was something about him,damn it."
A ping sounds on Noah's phone,he checks and looks at me.
"That Paula girl was right,she didn't lie,I saw them f*****g,with my own eyes."
I gape at him.
"He's a piece of s**t Noah,we need to get him away from Kim."
"You're right," he scratches his chin.
"Uh oh." Liah mutters, making me and Noah turn to where her eyes are fixed.
"Kim?" I get surprised at seeing her here,she didn't even text me. She goes straight for the stairs and the three of us shout at the same time.
"s**t!"
Then we go after her.
"Kim!"
"Not now Sam."
"Kim wait."
She pauses and turns to face us.
"I need to do this okay? I need to end all this drama once and for all."
Then she starts opening door after door,I don't need to ask because I know what and who she's looking for. Finally she opens one door and pauses,her hand shakes and it's like she's gone into a one minute shock.
We stand in the doorway behind her and what we see is exactly what we thought. Ronan is with Bree,she's giving him a blow job and he doesn't even stop her when he sees Kimberly.
Kim turns and runs out of the frat,I hear whispers but all I focus on is comforting my friend, the moment Noah and i manage to push through the crowd, Kim is already gone.
*The Next Day*
I wake up and go over at Kim's house to pick her up for school.
The rest of the ride is quiet,I assure her that everything is going to be okay and that I have her back.
The day doesn't go by easily, people seem to be happy about Kim's heartbreak. Ronan the jerk has been trying to reach her but she hasn't let him.
*A few Days Later*
"You what?!"
"Kim,you can't possibly be serious!"
"Oh come onnn.." Noah groans. "That piece of s**t cheated on you."
"Well,I think he deserves a chance,if I don't give it,how will he make up for it?"
Angers bubble inside me and I bite my tongue to keep myself from spitting venom at my best friend's stupidity. So I do what's best for all of us. Walk away.
Gossip as always is the tea for today,it's been days since Kim got back with Ronan,both Noah and I have been so mad at her decision but have chosen to respect it anyway,as for Ronan,it's no secret that I dislike him,he knows and I don't give a s**t.
I'm humming to myself when a shadow falls over me from behind,I sigh and remove my airpods,ready to tell whoever the hell wants to ask me out 'again' to just f**k off. My words get stuck in my throat when my eyes meet blue ones,he's close,so close that I can smell his delicious perfume to the point I might become an addict to his scent.
"Hi," he greets.
I rapidly blink twice.
"H-hi me?"
"I was watching you back there at cheerleading practice,you're good."
My eyes widen.
"Watching me?"
I swallow twice and his eyes move to my bobbing throat then back to my eyes. Out of nowhere,sweat starts to form on my forehead,what the hell is going on? He's never looked at me like this before.
Then as if to confuse me more,he brushes his thumb over my throat, making my breath catch,then he whispers.
"Yeah..." he watches his thumb's movement for a second and then his eyes are back on mine. "And I think it's going to be hard to stop."
Then his touch disappears,as if it didn't happen. He pushes back and smirks then walks away, leaving me with a jaw almost hitting the floor.
