King Of My Heart

Chapter 8 : Jealousy

Matt Torres P.O.V

The fire inside my heart igniting when I found her walking side to side with Dennis on the parking lot. A lot of people were there but my eyes always locked to Zoe. There was no girl ever broke my heart this way, they were always follow everything I wanted and dared to die for me. But again, Zoe Martin was different.

She was rare type of girl.

I saw they were talking together, swam in noon conversation walking below the hot sun that could give you skin cancer for free.

Zoe, she looked so happy with him which shattered my heart once again. She was laughing to all his cheap jokes while the sun reflecting on her moisturized face giving her highlighter on her chubby cheeks.

How could she likes him? He didn't even held her bag that looked heavy.

I never done that tho.

But if he was good for her he would do that, without me complaining on the bottom of my heart like this.

No, he wasn't the best for her. It was me, the best for her.

I was mad for myself, why I kept following her while the scene was only showering hurt for me? Why I looked so interested with this?

Because I LOVE Her.

Dennis escorted Zoe to her car, opened the door like every gentleman did to their woman.

I hid behind a white Rover, never cared who owned this.

Dennis close her car door softly and her car moved backwards, run on the streets and left the school gates, slowly disappear from my sight.

“What are you doing there Matt? How’s your feeling to see her happy with me?” Dennis asked, late to realized he was standing behind me with devil smirked on his face. He folded his arms, showing his vanity in front of me.

“Haha,” I faked my laugh and turned my body, facing him. I looked at him, from his hair to his shoe, for me, I was still better than him. “Why should I trust you? It was looking very unnatural and there wasn’t any love chemistry between both of you. Shame on you Dennis.”

“I got the chance walking with her, I won,” He arched his eyebrows and his smirk grew bigger. “You, you’re NOTHING to her now.”

“Well you play dirty Dennis,” I said and clapped his right shoulder, he threw my hand away by seconds. “All students know who is the winner, I’m just waiting for Karma Dennis, watch out.”

I walked confidently to my car, while the girls I was passed by stood with flirty face, trying to look for my attention after exposed by my enhancement.

A blink from my eyes could faint them, but no, no more flirting another b*tch. I didn’t wanna lost this one.

I entered my car door and settled inside. I threw my bag on the passenger seat and started the engine.

What you’d imagine? Popular guys like me would go home with my dudes or random girls on the passenger seat? I was.

Let me told you, I was.

I learned lots from my dad, how he respected my mom, treated her like he treats his parents, showering love to her every single day.

But then this is me now, broke my crush’s heart couple times. Such a loser.

“You must see this picture dude,” David said. Back to our basecamps on my house basement where all my man rested their body after school.

I snapped the phone from his hands and squinted my eyes. That was Dennis walking with random girl, holding their hands. I swiped the picture, again and again. I couldn’t believe he was an asshole, 6 different girls in a week including Zoe. I shook my head in desperation, totally panic because Zoe has fallen to the wrong guy. He only used the girl, he never love it.

Pretty sure he did this for revenge, he used Zoe for revenge to me.

There was dark past between us.

I threw David phone and he caught it perfectly. I rest my back on the sofa and took a sip of my Fanta. I sighed to reflecting my love life, kinda pity.

“You must help her dude,” David said, settled on the sofa right on my right. He blew out his vape smoke, strawberry smell.

I sneezed and coughed as it infiltrated my nose. I The smell wan’t nice at all. I fluttered my right hand to cleared the smoke from my place.

“Stop vaping dude, I’m allergic to it,” I uttered and frowned. He turned off his vape and threw it to his bag. “How can I help her?”

The moment went silence, my eyes locked the wall clock, to the needles moving smoothly. 10 second passed, “Times up, you don’t know either.”

“Oh man, I’m just running out of idea because she isn’t easy girl like mine,” David complained and sighed. “Do anything for her dude, I don’t want her to fall into the wrong hand.”

“What do you mean?”

“She is precious to you right? You cry I cry dude, She’s the one and only who could melt your heart. Fight for her dude,” He said, rose from my couch and slung his backpack on his shoulder. “Well I guess you need time to think, I’m leaving, bye.”

He opened the door, and stepped out. “Don’t forget, everyone see it, but you guys don’t.”

I mumbled under my breathe, what does he mean?
