Its been days since the whole Jaden's issue. Alessandro thinks my menstrual cycle is around the corner, not like I am complaining but at least he's giving me the space that I need.
I have been mopping around for days now, going to school and retiring back home like a robotic engine. Thank God for music that manages to connect with me every time I play them.
Jaden hadn't said anything to me more like he's avoiding me but I don't mind not like I have anything to talk to him about. He now seem like a distant being,always gliding through the crowd.It seemed like he became normal as he came down from his glory to gaze on me, got rejected and climbed back up. Even though he hadn't tried blackmailing me with my pent up feelings for Alessandro,I wouldn't have accepted. I am sure I'm not that repelling but I can't model. The horror in me when he compared me to his mother.I almost shudder at the thought of it. I have been relentlessly stalking Mrs Indiana Acker profile on social media and it isn't really encouraging Jaden compared me to her. Gosh her bouncy wavy leaf brown hair trimmed down her waistline, glossy skin, a drop dead shapely figure. A set of dazzling angel white gleamed teeth in her smiley's pictures. Her enticing constellation blue eyes and even her puffy heart shaped lips.
She's an Amazonian.
Jaden is better off with another person.Mirror gazing at myself, I see an average height seventeen year old with coffee brown wavy hair, dull blue eyes and a sun kissed skin. I never felt completely satisfied with my appearance, I always feel like I should be better or that I am not just good enough. I walked out of the house deciding to go on a little run around the city. it's nice to be outside for once connecting with nature. I jogged down the pathway feeling the cold wind breeze through my hair. The leaves kept falling as the wind sizzled through the trees.
My feet drummed on the floor in a rhythmic manner. I took the street that led to the fountain,at least I could clear my head there.The fountain came into sight. Leaves broke as I relaxed on the grass stretching my already tired limp. The sun rays passed through the trees onto the grasses. l laid down on the grass with my hands behind my head. My life wasn't a fairy tale kind of life. I lost my parent at a tender age. I sucked at sports and academic and the one guy that I like kisses another girl in front of me. Indiana Acker's pictures flashed through my mind. If I'm placed side by side with her,I might dull her radiance.My nerves calmed with my heart beat.
I headed back home. I spotted a red Ferrari parked outside my apartment. A slender figure with a red leather short gown hugging her figure leaned against the car. I could recognize that figure anywhere.
Valentine Dax.
I glared at her as I stomped towards my apartment.Could Alessandro have the guts of bringing her here. Her attention was on her phone. As I closed off the distant between us, she looked up from her phone. Her lips curved into a sneer as her eyes met mine.
"Look who ruined my date,I thought you were kidnapped but then who would kidnap you."She snickered putting her fingers out at me.
"Witches get worried, that I can't believe."I chuckled watching her face burns in rage.
" I never said I got worried."She said with a scowl on her face.
"You really accepted that you're a witch."I clapped satisfied as an horrific expression appeared on her face. Alessandro shuffled out of the entrance looking hot as hell with his hair disheveled and shirt rolled up his sleeve. Alessandro is probably the most handsome guy I have ever laid eyes on.
"Where have you been Peaches." He said jogging down the stairs. He grabbed my hands placing them around his neck and hugging me tight. I got him so worried. I hope Alessandro doesn't hear the thumping of my heart as I breathed in his cologne."I was so scared."
"Come off it,I am no President's daughter." I chuckled.His hot breathe fanned my neck sending wave of sensation down my spine. He broke the hug cupping my cheeks.
"Don't give a such scare again."He pleaded looking really adorable. I nodded as the warmth of his hands encases my small ones.I nodded slapping his hands away from drawing my cheeks."C'mon Peaches you look like a teddy.".
”Shut up. You didn't have to keep your date waiting, you know that I can take care of myself." I said barely glancing at Valentina who might be glaring daggers at me.
"I ordered takeouts since I couldn't come prepare breakfast for you so I decided to drop it off.Valentina wanted to tag along so I allowed her cause shewants to get to know you."He said glancing at Valentine and back to me .I almost puked at his words. Valentine is just trying to get on his good side. That witch took all my books and thrashed them in the rain just because I stepped on her so called million dollars shoes.
"Alex we are getting late."She whined with her hands placed on her hips as she stomped towards us. She entwined her arms around Alex possessively."Oh Alex,can you lend me a minute with Summer, gotta catch up on girls stuff."She said plastering a lovely smile on her face. She can't fool me with a fake smile. She could pass for a saint but I probably know better. She wants to warn me off Alex or her stupid mouth can't just keep shut.
"Oh..ok.." Alex said walking off to her car.Of all the girls Alex could fall in love with. She looked back at Alex,might be to be sure he's off hearing distance.
"Look Summer or whatever they call you."She began.
" What the hell do you think you are doing?" I asked raising a brow at her,"Are you seriously trying to warn me off Alex....got to try harder girl.."I cooed, my words rolled off my lips confidently. Valentine flinched at my tone but I don't back down.
"Why are you acting this way, you're just his best friend."She said with a scoff.I allowed her ramble a bit before cutting her off.
"Cause bitches like you don't deserve Alex, sleeping around with his buddies and shutting them up with your father's influence but guess what Alex stopped flirting with other girls to make your relationship work,I hope you do the same."I said. This definitely got her attention and surprisingly shut her up.
"What?.. that's a lie."She said.
" Which part,"I asked."I'm bored talking to you so off you go."I added waving a dismissive hand at her.
"But I have something you can never have,Alessandro."She said with a victorious smirk."So good luck to always being a bestie." She snickered. She rolled her eyes and walked away.
They zoomed off with Alessandro mouthing a take care to me.I hauled my sorry ass to the door and walked in.
Of course she's right I can never have Alessandro.
