And then I spotted him . Max Ryder... His face hadn't changed a bit . Well , one year doesn't make any difference to your face , not until you get hit by a car .
Now I understand why I didn't notice him earlier . He was sitting on the last bench which is quite unnoticeable , staring out of the window , looking lost. Just the way I used to be . I was not a fan of attention , not then not now . Shy and conservative , that was my type .
On the other side he was the kid who use to demand attention everywhere he went . I was the one who liked to hide from the world , be in a coccon made by me to protect myself from hurting . It didn't work . In the end I got badly hurt.
I still remember the day when we met . I had seen him earlier too , admired him from a distance but this was the first time of me interacting with him .
My books were on the ground floor as he had banged into me . Me being me , apologised to him . He didn't give a s**t . Went on with his life . I stood there charmed , captivated by his looks. But then I was shy and fat , he wasn't going to fall for me and I wasn't going to tell him about the little crush I had for him . Most of the times I ignored him so to get rid of all those shitty feelings I would get when he was near me . I mean we all have a crush who is off limits . And we do know how that ends . My story ended in a different way though.
" Mia ,
" Yes"
" He is not worth the efforts " , says my new found friend Sofia .
" What are you talking about ? "
" I know he is good looking and all but no use crushing on him . He is a loner and except his grades nothing is good about him "
" But I wanna know him " .
Sofia sighs " He goes by the name Max Ryder . Two words are enough to describe him. Silent and pathetic. All he does is sit there in the class staring out of the window . There's only one thing he is good at , that being studying . Class topper . I already told you that , didn't I ?
Oh , I am gonna take the title away from him soon .
" Hmm , interesting "
" Well that's new . Nothing about him is interesting . To tell you the truth , I hate him . Come on , it's time for lunch" , she holds my hand as we walk towards the canteen .
I am so confused right now . What is happening here ? Max had undergone a huge transformation . He was nothing like she said . Good at sports , bad at grades . Ok average grades and not a loner at all . How did he change so much in a year ? And if that's not enough Sofia hates him now . A year ago she was obsessed with him , like totally in love . As of now she hates him .
When I came here I thought , I already knew everything about them. But seems I was wrong . This is going to be difficult . For my revenge I will have to start from the start . Know what exactly happened between them when I wasn't here . Till then I will have to patiently wait for the right time to strike or I could deal with tanner first .
The canteen is crowded with people , there's a lot of rush . All the seats are almost taken up except the one's in the corner . As we walk towards the seat Sofia collides with someone . The food gets spilled all over her . If you ask me she deserves more than this .
" What the hell " , she screams .
" I didn't mean to .. I am sorry " . Wait the voice sounds familiar . I glance up at the person who did such a good job . And there is my angel . Tracy . Oh , I missed her . She never fails to suprise me .
" See Sofia , I apologise to you "
" It's my most expensive dress , you b***h " .She could have worn a uniform to school .
Sofia continues arguing with her , she yells at her and suprisingly Tracy doesn't fight back . I want to slap Sofia right in the face but I can't do it because that will ruin my plan . I feel so bad , Tracy would always try to help me out . When I got a chance to return her favour I can't do anything for my own selfish reasons .
" Let it go , Sofia " , I finally speak .
" It must be a mistake , right " I look at Tracy while saying the words .
" Ok " , Sofia agrees and walks away .
I smile at Tracy .
" Thank you but I didn't need your help . Get out of my way now " .
If I say it was shocking it would be an understatement . Tracy wasn't a mean girl , she usually thanked whenever people helped her . Why everyone is acting so strangely ?
Something is so wrong here . Need to find it out .
