It is now lunch break, Ashley and Nancy wouldn't stop talking my ears off about what transpired between Ace and I, I tried explaining to them a couple of times it was no big deal.
For the last time girl, I don't do boyfriend, i said giving them a motherly glare. It's true I don't do romance, I was good at giving advice and been available whenever they get their heart broken, have seen how they have withdrawal symptoms from things, food, movies, people they love, simply because they got dumped.
I don't ever want to experience that, not now, not ever. Something tells me I will not survive and may never come out from the heart attack, don't even know why it's termed heartbreak than heartattack. Moreover I have worked too hard sticking to my rules of books before boys right from junior days and am not ready to engage in relationships knowing there is more disadvantages than advantages.
Poor baby is too scared to love....
Am not Ashely.
But you shouldn't..
Nancy am not, and why are we still on this non beneficial topic? We were going at each other when the cafeteria went silent, you could hear a pin drop.
Curiosity made the three of us look around but, just when I was about to give up on finding nothing, my eyes found Ace and Estella the school queen doll and captain of the cheerleaders locking lips together with him.
I felt a quick jolts of pang in my heart, it hurts so much that anyone will think I had a long history of treating a blood pressure, is this what heartbreak feels like? Didn't you say he is not your basic fuck boy, I was feeling agitated, it became worse when Nancy unintentionally laughed anxiously.
From the rumors and my observation so far, Estella should be the fourteenth girl he's banging, I can't believe am using such a nasty language. Jealousy brings out the worse in you, am sure he never gets tired from humping and dumping girls around, why do girls still let him do this to them.
Am losing my appetite, poor me. I quickly gathered different bits of the snacks i had in my tray but enough to not go hungry then, I turned around to leave telling my friends we will meet up after school since we all had different classes left before school closes.
Audrey wait, Ashley and Nancy screamed my name but I was not having any of it, their screams gained everyone's attention including the bad boy Ace.
Usually he always ignore any school drama and continue whatever stuff he had at the moment but from the side of my eyes, I saw his forehead squeezed together in worry. That got me confused on why he not only acknowledged what just happened between me and my friends but tried coming after me but got stopped by Estella laughing like a dying duck and forcing her lips back on his.
I sat outside under a tree shade and slowly muched on my lunch, I was holding back tears because I knew there's no reason for me to cry over someone who is not even friends with me.
I check my time to see there is still ten minutes before class, am sad because I know I will have to not only apologize to my friends for bailing on them but I will have to explain to them why Estella kissing Ace hurt my ego after the numerous speech I gave about how I will never fall in love with him or anyone until i graduate the university.
It's not like am in love with him right now am I? Of cause not, am probably just been territorial of someone who never spoke to me in my entire existence in high school until today, he rarely even come to class, everyone is scared of approaching him except he approaches you.
He has this aura that says mess with me and you're six feet below, I don't know if the rumors of him been a gang leader is true but am slowly starting to believe them.
Are you okay? I hear a voice say, I panicked and turn around to see Ace seating beside me with his legs folded in. He punched my juice for me with the straw and hands it over to me, patiently waiting for me to drink up before having a conversation with me...
Wanna talk about it, he ask me after five minutes.
Expressing my feelings is one of the quickest way to embarrass me. Whatever happens, whenever I fight or whenever am angry or emotional, never ask me if I want to talk about it because I will end up crying which is exactly what am doing right now.
Hey princess there's no need to cry, you don't need to talk if it makes you uncomfortable alright? I can't be uncomfortable with a heavenly voice like his but I will not tell him that, have got to protect my pride.
Am about to respond, blaming him for taking advantage of the situation when he lifted me up and changed his position so he could place me on his lap. Only this time he made me face him which means I was straddling him.
I could see Nancy and Ashely smirking in my head, cheering "go girl, go girl go" making gest of me. He's only trying to comfort me I said trying to justify his actions.
Ace, baby, a whining Estella yelled. I felt him hold his hand in a tight fist before staring deep into my eyes with an emotion I could not decipher. This doesn't suit your beauty..
What I asked in a low tone, ignoring the taunting Estella, the name suits her character but, why do I feel like am in some type of competition for his attention.
C'mon leave her Ace lets go, Estella whined for the third time.
Ace sighed, I'll tell you after school okay, then he kissed my right ear and rubbed my sides soothingly.... before placing me back to my feet and leaving with Estella.
Is he asking me to wait after school, I look at him for confirmation but he never looked back so I sigh, and pick up my bag dreading between going or skipping the next class.
