RONAN

Back at school after the long-dreaded summer that I didn’t do anything else but watch her through her window.

During summer I don't have a problem with men hanging out with Ellora, because she always has this same routine every day during summer. Home, Church, ballet studio. You may see her as boring and predictable. But she isn't. she's more than what the naked eye will see.

My nerves calmed this summer because I knew no one would try to talk to Ellora. But James. James is my only problem when it comes to Ellora. I don't know if I should be thankful because he still hasn't noticed Ellora's beauty, or should I be more nervous with him? My Ellora is still head over heels with James. I don’t know what she saw in James. But I remembered her saying to me before that she just likes James, and love should be that simple. It's funny how she thinks it's love. Because it isn't. If love is so shallow, everyone knows how to love. I know how love feels like. And I learned it and felt it an early age of ten. And believe me, it wasn’t that simple and shallow.

I don't know if James knows anything about me when it comes to Ellora, maybe he already hears the line I made before so that no one will woo and try to claim Ellora, I am just waiting patiently for my time. My time to claim what's mine. And nothing will stand in my way when that happens. Even James.

James become a manwhore, I won't be surprised that any kind of thing that moves, he will f**k it. I can't even count how many women have passed by him. And I don’t want him to include Ellora on his list of women. Maybe I should be thankful, because he didn’t attempt to advance to Ellora. Because knowing my girl, one move made by James is the end for me. My girl is in love with that man when she's just only ten years old. She is fragile and hopeless romantic when it comes to James. And I can't afford James to taint what is mine. What supposed to be pure and clean just for me.

It is our first day back in junior year in high school, I am busy chatting with my friends on our locker. I was already greeted by those conniving girls that’s just want to get in my pants from time to time. But I have my favorite. She has been my f**k buddy since I’m fifteen years old. She wants to call us exclusive and I don’t mind as long as I get what I want from her.

Bianca.

Bianca has a very long black hair that almost identical to Ellora’s. that’s the first thing that catches my attention from her. And she’s the cheerleading squad captain that wants to be the queen bee and the attention and popularity I can offer. So, it’s always win win to the two of us.

She also came from a rich family here in Nashville, a daughter of a multi-millionaire businessman. They always said that Bianca is for James because of the connection of their two families, but Bianca won’t settle for less. And what I meant is; I am far more a catch to her than James.

She didn’t entertain other man, not that I mind. I am totally fine even if she did. You see, for me what we have is nothing and it will never have something ever. But for Bianca, she has this illusion building in her own mind that I am hers, she always keeping her claws on mine. But even though almost every other woman in campus is scared to Bianca who know that I am with her, that is still not enough for me to taste other flavors if I am in the mood. And the next thing I know, Bianca set her foot on that woman I have played with. And I don't care what happens to them. It was just s*x for me, Once I'm done, I'm done. All I ever cared about is her. Ellora.

I am occupied with my friend when I feel her, smell her citrus flower scent and it captivated me right on my spot and I see her immediately. Walking inside the halls, wearing the same uniform that every other girl is wearing too but more perfect from her. Her hair is flowing carelessly and her smile is so big and excited. Excited for life. She didn't even spare me a glanced when she walks past us, my friends noticed how beautiful she is. They have been looking at her not so purely. I wonder how many f*****g dirty thoughts they had when they see her. And if I can just kill them all by just looking at her, I f*****g will.

She walked past me ever so slowly but her attention is on James beside me, she smiled at him and her cheeks blushed instantly. I clench my fist as I kept my cool from strangling James right now.

“That the Reverend’s daughter?” Ares asked, one of my teammates and I looked at him immediately.

Cloud is already looking at me, smirking knowingly. I didn’t tell him or anyone what I feel about Ellora Ellora. But Cloud is the observant, he just want to sit still and watch people and their f*****g behavior, I am sure he already knows what I have been doing from other men that attempt to catch Ellora.

“She is. Too bad she’s the reverend’s daughter. I don't want the reverends to piss me off every week at mass and when we go home my parents will scold me for messing with her." Bert said, my other teammate laughs as if he said it was funny, James laughed too because he said the exact same thing to me way before why he doesn't want anything to do with Ellora. I chuckled, but it's a dark chuckle as I f*****g clenched my fist, holding back from breaking Bert's face for making fun of her.

Cloud just nods at me, trying to keep my cool.

“But look at that fine ass, man. That’s f*****g wild. If I am going to..” I didn’t let Martin finish what he’s going to say.

“You’re going to do what?” I faced him as I tilt my head, smiling at him grimly. He already got the message as he just raised his hands in surrender and all our other teammates stopped laughing.

“Sorry, man. Didn’t know he’s yours, I thought you had Bianca.” Martin said.

I chuckled as I nods, James tap me by my shoulder “Nah, she isn’t. Ronan is just protective of her because she’s our friend.”

I removed James’ grip on my shoulder as I stride away from them, looking at Ellora’s back. Damn, this is harder than I thought.

I chased her down the hallway and grip her arms for her to look at me “What the f**k are you wearing?” I snapped as her eyes grew big. Ellora didn’t even looked at me after so many years, she didn’t even say a single word to me ever since. It’s as if I am just a figment of her imagination and I didn’t tried my best to talk to her either. She still freaks me out.

“Wh—What?” She asked curiously as if she can’t even believe that I am talking to her, she even glanced at my hand that’s been holding her.

“The f**k you’re wearing.”

She chuckled awkwardly as she removed her arms from my grip “I don’t think I have to answer that.”

“More desperate this year?” I crossed my hands on my chest as I tilt my head and smirks at my insult, I am pissed off, the last thing I want to happen again is another set of dirty eyes will look at her way again.

“What?” she sounds pissed too.

"Desperate for someone's attention?" I quirk my eyebrow as she slapped my chests repeatedly. I know I should feel pain but every time she punched it, it was as if she was holding electricity in my chest that revived my heart.

Everything slows down and all I can see is her.

I stopped her by holding her hands and her hand is as cold as ice.

She stopped as she looks at me wild in fury.

She removed my hold on her and she looks at me as if disgusted that I just touched her.

“I don’t have anything to say to you, Leave me alone.”

With that said, she turns around from me and left me stunned. I have a discover something new in order for her to see me and looked me in the eyes.
