"Why... is everyone here but the president?! He's supposed to be here before everyone else!!" I shouted. "Calm down V.P.! I'm sure he has a good excuse!" said Meredith Hanes, the council clerk. "Don't tell me to calm down! That idiot is late and..." "Oi! V.P.! I'm here!" I quickly turned around to see Dante. My face flushed and I quickly turned away from him. "It's about damn time! Why are you late?! This meeting started half an hour ago!" "I'm sorry. But as you know I am president of the sports council as well. They had a meeting so I had to attend it." "Then I advise you to lose your place as president..." I said quietly. "I'm sorry but I can't do that." I glared at him. "Fine." I sat down in my seat and sighed. "Great... just great," I whispered to myself. "Alright. This meeting has been held to discuss ideas for Halloween. We need to discuss party ideas," he said. "I vote for a dance!" said Jeremy, council event and planner. "What?! I... I disagree!" I said. "Why a dance? I don't like the idea of people getting close and rubbing against each other! It's gross!" "V.P... It's just a dance," said Meredith. "Besides I think it'll be fun for the entire student body!" "But I don't think... I mean I don't like." "I think it's a good idea too," said Dante. "But!" "Armeria! Who is president? You or me? I decide what is happening! Not you!" he shouted, somewhat mockingly. I stood up. "Fine. Decide whatever you want prez, I don't care," I said and I quickly ran out of the room. "Wait!" I heard him call after me. "Wait! Armeria!" he shouted. He caught me at the stairs. He took my arm. "Please. I'm sorry. It's just difficult for me. I wanted to be on the council to get to know you better, that's all." Tears formed in my eyes. Oh no! Please let go! My head screamed. I started shivering. I was scared. "So you don't tale this job seriously then," I said quietly. "What? That's not..." he said releasing me. "Goodnight president," I said and I quickly ran off. My heart pounded in my chest. Damn it! I hated it when he touched me! It made me scared... I hated being touched like that... especially from him... I hated it... Couldn't he see that?
Hehe no he is not lol!! He basically resembles him in every way though. And of course Armeria is traumatized by him and scared... sometimes I cry writing this... Idk why... Maybe it's cause I feel bad for her!
"I can't do this! I don't want to do this!" I cried over the phone to Kendra. "I can't help but start to cry when I see him!" "Who?" she asked. "Dante!" "Oh right. Him. Well I don't think there's much that you can do except drop out of the student council..." "I'm not doing that! I'm not going to give up on my dream that easily! But I can't stand being near him... The memory of that night scares me to death... How can I face him with out thinking that he isn't that guy... I just can't do it!" I sobbed. "It's okay. Soon enough you will see that he's not actually a bad guy. He's actually really nice, you just have to get to know him first," she told me. "But I don't want to know him! He looks like that guy!" "Don't be selfish," she said. "If you think to much of this you won't get over it." "Is it possible not to think about it?!" "You are taking this way too far! I'm telling you to get over it now! Or it will remain with you forever!" she shouted ad she hung up the phone. When she did I crumbled to the floor. I put my head onto of my knees and turned into a ball. How was I to get over this? This was... this was... I couldn't even explain my own feelings. I was scared... that's all I knew. The next day at school I had offered to help with organizing the Halloween event coming up. As I sat in my seat I trembled. Dante was the only other who was available to work after school. I could feel his gaze on me and I continued to work on. He sat only inches from me and I was too uncomfortable to try and work. "Stop looking at me!" I said finally. "Oh! Sorry..." he said. He blushed and turned away. I sighed. "You're supposed to be working here president," I said trying to continue on. I began to shiver. My whole body reacting to the anxiety over coming me. Tears formed in my eyes... "Damn!" he said and he stood up. This action startled me. I watched as he took his things and moved to the other side of the room. Was it because he could tell I was uncomfortable? "I'm sorry..." I whispered so he couldn't hear. "I'm sorry..."
