Prologue I wish I could say I fell in love with the perfect man, who treated me like a princess; I wish I could say that we had the typical love story you know ,where boy#1 meets the girl they become friends -they like each but can't say, the girl meets boy#2 who has the hots for her. Boy#1 get jealous and swoops her off her feet , but can I? because wishes always don't come true. Sometimes our roles change. I have a love story based on greed, jealously and revenge. I love a boy who destroyed my life ( well kind of)and I had ( Even if not intentionally and directly) destroyed his, it's not just a cliché kind of love it's one of the dark kinds. *********************** 》 ¤ One Year Ago¤ 《 Our parents teach us not to talk to people who seem strange and specially strange boys and being a rich family's only daughter my parents always said "Don't talk to strangers, even if they are your classmates. safety first zoe." But what if the stranger felt nerve wreckingly familiar and I freakishly. felt disgusted from him? The moment I lay my eyes on him I just knew we would not be bestfriends- far from that. It was hate at first sight. He had the typical bad boy look- the leather jacket(which made me want to puke.)The sunglasses ( inside school halls, huh turns he is dumb too.) and the 'I just woke up from bed' black hair, which I might tell you takes a lot of time just like the messy bun. I don't know, I just didn't like the new kid, so I needed to know who he was. I walked inside the office putting my best smile on. " Good morning Mrs. Grayson, I'm here to check the drama club schedule! can I?" I asked giving her a warm smile. "Oh. Zoey I swear I had put it up outside the drama room! did you check there?" shit "Mrs. Grasyson, oh I think I forgot to check there...can see it here? if I go back I might get late for class" I fake pleaded and gave my most convincing look. God bless my acting skills. " Of course you can dear it's that way" she said pointing at the green board. I grinned at her and looked at the bad boy you sat there, just...sitting. I took a good five minutes aciting to memorize the schedule and then turned to give my farewell to Mrs. Grayson "Ms. Hilton will you mind giving Mr. Ashton a tour of the school and then leaving him to his class? I''ll give you a late pass , fill the time you''ll be free on it." She said handing me pink slip. " Ofcource, I''ll be more than happy" I said giving Mr.Ashton a look. When he didn't getup, I cleared my throat and said " Mr. Ashton... will you like to accompany me?" He just shrugged and walked with me, for few minutes we walked in silence and then stopped in front of the girls washroom.... which was the first place after the office " So... uh this is the girls washroom and I don't know why I'm telling you this, lets move forward." I said flushing. "Listen teachers pet. Take me to my class" His deep voice said I raised an eyebrow and said in utter disbelief "pardon?" This triggered him and he almost rolled on the floor with laughter. " Pardon? who uses this word now?" "Mr. Ashton, I do! Now lets go, you're wasting my time." I said patiently He laughed harder. " Whats your name again?" he asked. "Its Zoey white Hilton" I said with pride. " That Hilton who have there hotel's in all of U.S? " he asked his expression turning grave, I nodded eagerly and his burrows furrowed; I saw something flash in his eyes but I couldn't catch it, he grinned mockingly " Hm.. so a spoilt brat, are we?" Now that did it. I let all the pretence of friendship fall and screamed. "Listen you moron, don't waste my time and come with me." I snatched his class schedule from his hand and barked " Maths, thats the class down the hall.Come" I said and started to walk. I cleared my throat again and said " You'd like to take off the glasses Mr.Ashton, they make you look like an idiot because you are wearing them indoors and may I remind you we have a uniform in our school, it's not like a public school from where I guess you are coming." I commented. He gave me a thundering look which almost deflated my ego. " Aleast my skirt doesn't feel like a handkerchief!" He micked me in a high pitched girly voice Oh My God. He. Did. not. I gave him the ' I'd kill you' look while dusting my knee high skirt. "That's all you got? Jerkface." He rolled with laughter and as he was wiping his eyes he said "Jerkface? My grandmother talks like that. Ms.spoilt goody two shoes See you later" he said and opened the door to his class. I will get you. JERKFACE □■ Being me is not easy. It means people looking up to you and on top of that being the onstudent body president and the drama club vice president makes it even more difficult. "No we won't use the winter dance money on nude models, are you insane? we don't need real life art here. The student body will go wild!" I scream at the art students "But we waste all the money on people drinking spiked soda and eating eachothers faces ." one brunette girl argued with me "Why can't we use the money to create master pieces?" "No, that's final. The student body already fishes five grand a year for the art section of our school, no more can be Given for nude models." I said getting up from my seat and walking over to the door. I was late for my drama club , again. I rushed to reach the drama room and almost slammed my face on the double doors, Mr. Ricky my drama teacher was also standing outside the drama room. "Zoey it's good I met you here, as you know David our drama club president graduated school this year, and you are still a junior, well not that it affects the decision but you are already in so many co-colicular activities so we can not promote you as the president. The school has decided to appoint a new student as the president and we would like you to introduce him to all your other members Zoey" Mr. Ricky finished. "Ofcource Mr. Ricky, I will" I said giving him a bright smile and walked inside. I'd be goddamed. There standing infront of me in all his glory was 'Mr.Aston' giving me a smug look. So he was the new the new drama president, I cleared my throat and begun " Goodmornig people! today we have our new drama president Mr. Ashton- Mr. Ashton this is Ashlyn Mortman,Shelly Audiger, Daisha jain,Rhodie Simpson, Justin Blake, Sam shoff, jack loony, Harry Grigori, Jem Palestine, Jace Price , Clary Kate, Holly sue, Tiffany jewelmark and I am Zoey the drama club vice president." I said pointing at each member and then looking at him. " seeing that you are new I'll give a brief overview of what we have done till now, We have done hamlet, pride and prejudice, As you like it and Winter's tale. This year we have decided to do gone with the wind. The scripts have been made and I will give one to each one of you when when we are leaving, The auditions are tomorrow people, after school." I said finishing my long brief overview. Mr.Ricky walked his way into the group and begun "So, that Daniel here" .he said pointing at Mr. Ashton " Doesn't feel unwelcome and also majorly because of his good acting skills I will be making him the in charge of giving roles to people this year and if the luck is with us...each year too, but I would choose which role would be given to him first as to not have any inequality." No way. A series of whispers and grunts of protest started in the room, Mr.Ricky made a face and said " People, Daniel here, has worked with Fred hale." now it was our turn to gasp, he has worked with the great Fred Hale? Oh My Shit. Fred Hale is like the Elvis or MJ of theater and he works only with the best, Each year he comes to schools and chooses the five best actors (who are seniors) from each. Those children get a chance to work with Mr. Hale and if you are good enough, go to his university even David went there. Now the group members are looking up at him in awe,this can't be good. I look at him and catch his eye, he has a smug look on his face. "Daniel, will you like to tell us about your acting..... career?" Holly pleads He moves uncomfortably on his feet and then starts " Uh.... there is not much- I am 16 like the majority of you and am a junior, I have worked with fred in two plays. " he continues and the other girls almost swoon. ************************************* ●One week ago● I look up at him, glaring straight into his blue eyes. He really pisses me off. That son of a poo eating monkey, "We are not doing a stupid love story" " We are" I said again which felt like the hundereth time. " We so are " Jace piped in, I gave him a thank full smile. " Of course we are" Holly said giving Daniel a flirty grin. " This is the last play before we graduate and Fred will be coming, we have to make the most of it." Daniel continued " and doing Romeo and juliet will frankly get us no where. " " No! it is the sign of eternal love, sorrow, romance, revenge, rivalry and jealousy every aspect that makes a story is in this." I said " And it has been done before! there is no originality in it!" Daniel screams "It is epic! like the lion king or Nemo! people can't get enough of it." "Oh god you didn't just compare Shakespeare with Disney?" Daniel asked baffled. I huffed " Listen, why dont we just vote?" The room came alive with grunts of agreement. " The people who want to act romeo and juliet raise your hands and who don't, don't raise them." 15 of the 17 people did raise their hands, I gave Daniel a satisfyed grin "So I guess we have a winner here!" I announced. " We'll give you the scripts and announce the date for the audition. The roles will be chosen by Daniel here." I smiled at my crew members, my chest swelling with pride because they had taken my side. 《《《《《《《《》》》》》》》》》 *Now* The auditions have been given and the lists will be put up any minute, I think pacing back and forth. I WANT JULIET....NO I NEED IT. 》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》 "But sir, I can do the role!" I whined "I know you can Zoey but the school board won't allow it. You already have a lot of duties on you and by the way you are a senior, it's time to focus on grades and University" Mr.Rick reasoned ah what an ass. " I am a straight A student, I know which university I wanna go to and trust me, my father can Handel the school board just let me tal-" I was cut short when I saw Daniel entering the room. " Do we have a problem here sir?" he asked "Ya, I am trying to tell her that she will not be able to do Juliet's role! but she-she doesn't listen! the school will not let her." Mr. Ricky whined and I flushed a deep red "What? sir with all due respect you are being unfair! You know I deserve this! I have worked so hard to be noticed by Fred hale! you can't ruin it, I deserve Juliet, no main role no importance; I even got then role but you took it away from! " Mr. Ricky looked shocked and he kept opening and closing his mouth like a fish. "ahhmm.." Daniel cleared his throat to get our attention " Let me talk to her sir, you go" He said and Mr. Ricky left. " You really want the role don't you? I can give it to you" " pardon?" " I can give you the role... if" he said uh, there is always an 'if'. "If...?" I asked confused He leaned towards me, trapping me between the wall and himself, his blue eyes staring at me intentionally "How many day's do you think takes to fall in love?" "What?" I asked flushing like a dummy. "How many days do you think it takes to fall in love Zoey?" He repeated leaning closer, are noses almost touching. I could feel his hot minty breath blowing on my face. "I-I don't kn-know it depends on the per-person." I stammered flushing a deeper shade of red " Thirty days." He whispered into my ear, his black hair falling on my face. "What?" I asked yet again He scowled at me, the sides of his lips turning down with annoyance. " You ask a lot of questions and I don't like it. Well back on the topic... Give me thirty days and I'll make you fall in love with me" He said while removing a hand from the wall and putting it on face, I shrunk back disgusted. "Why would you do that? why would I let you do that?" I demanded, suddenly feeling an urge to slap him. He leaned back and smirked "I have what you want Zoey and I can give it to you, gimme thirty days and then if you are not in love with me, you''ll have what you want." He paused for the words to sink in " and for why would I do it, is my concern not yours." "How dare you? I really hate your guts! you freaking-" He cut me off " Listen sissy, what you think of me doesn't really matter, what matters is what you can get from this. Think about it." The chance of me falling for Him is like one in a thousand so why don't I? No what if he has some really sinister motive behind this? No I can't. " No." I said irritated. He smirked " You are just scared that you''ll fall for me." He stated looking smug. Oh, how dare he? " Oh puhlease! me falling for you?" " Then do it." He challenged "Okay." " Your Number." "What?" I asked shocked He shook his and muttered" Too many questions, we''ll have to work on that. I need your number so that I can call you and meet you. You have to fall for me remember ?" I gave him my cell number bid him my goodbye with obscenities, just when I was leaving I heard " Oh and ya, for the next thirty days , whenever I want we spend time and leave your car I''ll take you to school." Hell. ***************************************** A/N- IF YOU WILL IT, POST ON MY WALL!! :*
