I feel badass.

I yank the door open and step out of the car, swinging my backpack on one shoulder in slow motion.

I imagined myself getting out of the car with people halting dead in their tracks with boys lowering their glasses to check me out while i would kick the hell out of the Jelly bitches.

Reality check...

Nobody gave a fuck. Not even the slighest one.
So much for feeling badassy.

But what was I even thinking in that knucklehead of mine, life isn't a movie. I should have known that life always backfires my cannon balls and thwacks them straight on my face until It knocks me down along with my non-existent dignity. Huh.

I slam the car door shut loudly in discontentment, cursing my pathetic life but immediately regret it.

Uh oh. Wrong move.

Every head whips in my direction and I feel every pairs of eyes glued on me.To be precise it felt a lot like I was being eye-raped!

At that point my badassness faded away making me feel utterly self-conscious.

I mentally facepalm myself.

Oh dear God! what have i put myself into!

Come at me aliens! I want to be sucked up into space. Oh i can't bear this cruel world anymore!

I feel like everybody is scrutinizing every inch of me or more specifically my legs on display and I constantly try to pull down my shorts, fidgeting uncomfortably until I waddle out of the parking lot flashing everyone an small embarrassing smile.

As soon as my heels clicks and echoes along the hallway, I became the centre of attention. Or attraction. I straighten up and hold my head up high as if my dignity has not been shattered into pieces a few moments ago and try my best to sway my hips like a ship on the sea on a Storm night, just like mom advised me to.

The buzz in the hallway died, with everyone starring at anything but me.
Wait me?
I glance behind my shoulder to look at what everyone is possibly starring at but found absolutely nothing.
Yep! They are definitely gawking at me. Now that i think, i might have been a thousand times happier when I was the 'nerdy amelia'.
Geez! How does kim Kardashian put up with so much attention?!

The crowd of students look absolutely dumbstruck. I wish i could pause this moment and zoom in a their astounded faces. Priceless!
Some were in the middle of conversations but stopped to stare at me with their mouth hanging open and eyes ready to pop out of their sockets.
Even simon looked up his phone for the first time.

Just then i hear something like a choking pig and i turn around to see lucas spitting his water out on Chloé who kicks him in the family jewels. The dude is gasping for air. People are patting his back but he looks like he's gonna die from oxygen deprivation seriously.

I take out my sunglasses in slow motion but it slips from my grip and i find myself fidgeting with it until i am juggling and at the same time struggling to catch it before it falls and clashes my 'supposedly awesome' entry.

My hair billows with every step I make until a whirl of wind rushed through the hallway blowing it like grass in a storm and whipping it on my face, almost blinding me in the process and choking me to death by forcing some of my hair into my mouth.

By the time I swipe my hair off my face and pull some of the strands out of my mouth, I catch glimpse of a banana peel sprawled on the ground but it was too late.

Next thing i know, I'm slipping in slow motion with my hands wiggling out frantically until I fall into someone's arms. Strong arms.

His emerald hypnotizing green eyes holds me captive, boring into brown ones. I had gotten rid of my glasses and wore contacts instead and it felt like it brought my shield down and he could stare right into my soul.

I feel vulnerable. Everytime he does this, brick by brick, my walls comes tumbling down. However high I raised them, he could always climb across it...he still did and it scares me. It scares me to know that i still have feelings hidden deep down for him. Because i know, it was always there, is there, and will always be.

Never had i thought, we would be so close yet so far.

"Munchkin?" he whispers down at me his eyebrows furrowing in confusion. A strand of his dark black hair fell onto his eyes and I clench my fist, resisting the urge of sweeping it away from his face.

I mentally slap myself for falling under his charms again. What the hell is wrong with me!

I have moved on. I changed. I cannot fall for him again. I cannot afford getting my heart broken again.
Truth to be said, i don't know if my heart could love anyone else after him.

Yeah the truth is always bitter.

"Its Ameliah." I deadpan. Yeah I only added an 'h' to my name to make look cooler.
Sue me.

I start wiggling out of his hold and he seems to get the indication because he furrows his eyebrows and steadies me to put me back on my feet.

I run my hand through my hair and impatiently tap my heels on the floor as he bends down to pick up my backpack. Then, I rip it off his grip muttering a quick not-so-very-polite "thank you" and swiftly turning around to scatter in the opposite direction.

"Munch- I mean Ameliah! Wait up!" he yells after me but Ignore him and increase my pace,gripping both the straps on my bag firmly.

At that juncture he had gathered everyone's attention along the hallway who had their eyes glued on us.
Sure grab a chair people. Might as well bring some popcorns.

I'm gonna shove their Popcorns up their a-

Suddenly his hand shoot for my wrist, making me halt in my tracks.

I whip my head back to stare at our hands. How dare he!

"Don't. Touch. Me." I spit venomously.

I see something flicker in his eyes but it quickly flashes away before I could decipher what it was.

"Don't be stupid Munchkin"

"I said Get. Your. Filthy. Paws. Off. Me!" I wriggle my wrist.

He looks down at my our hands then slowly releases his grasp. I take the opportunity and rip my hand out from his.

"Stay away from me Cayden. That's what's best for both of us" I say and stomp out of the hallway.

Just once, I glance back my shoulder and he still standing there, stock-still, looking crestfallen but his eyes never left my back.

I swallow back the lump in my throat and close my eyes, holding my tears back in.

Its never going to be the same isn't it?

How i miss him.
_ _ _ _ _

I angrily yank open my locker and a small piece of paper came flying out of it, falling on the floor.

I bend down to pick it up only to find pink heels pinning down on it. My eyes trails up to find Natalie smirking down at me.

Oh for God's sake! This is the last person I want to see today!

"Oh hey there nerds!" she grins down at me like a cheshire cat.
Except that she is a female dog.

I scrunch my face up in disgust at her. I hate her so much. Everytime I look at her, it flashed back and it broke me again. A reminder of what last happened when she showed me what she was capable of. She snatched the boy I loved away from me and the guts she has to face me again.

My eyes watered up as the scene of her kissing Cayden flashed in my mind, replaying like a movie and a tear involuntary trickled down my cheeks.

"Aw poor velma got her little heart broken. Isn't that mournful how I snatched everybody away from you in a flink of fingers." she held my chin up and pouted.

"Everybody?" I sniff and blinking in confusion.

She smacked her lips. "What was her name again? That vile friend of yours?"she taps her fingers on her chin in reflection.

" Oh yes,Karlie" she finishes.

"Its kayla." I deadpan.

"Yeah. Whatever!" she waves her hand dismissively and rolls her eyes.

Yeah keep rolling your eyes, maybe you'll find a pea-size brain back there.

"What did you do Natalie?"

"Ohh nothing much" she trailed, blowing her nails. "Fooling her was easy as a pie" she smirks wickedly at me.

She is the reason why. Why everyone left. Why my life turned upside down.
Why kayla left.
Why I lost Cayden.
It was her.
It was her since the beginning.

Another tear betrayed and cascaded down my face until tears kept on pouring out uncontrollably of my eyes.

I hate her! I hate her soooo freaking much!
How could someone be so cold-hearted. What have I ever done to her?!

"Shh don't cry, you'll look uglier than you already look" she coos.

Okay thats it.

"Better ugly on the outside than on the inside." I retort back. I swear, the sniffing ruined the whole effect.

"What did you say?" she furrows her eyebrows.

I rip the paper from beneath her heels.

"Depends on whether you're deaf or stupid?"

"Take your words back dork. Or else-"

"Or else what Natalie? You'll go bitch about me to Everyone? You'll feed your made up lies to Cayden because you're a desperate insecure bitch who has to lie to get what she wants?" I laugh humorlessly.

"Well guess what Natalie, you and Cayden can both go to hell. I don't care anymore. Mess with me once more and I'll make sure to catapult your sorry ass to saturn. No, I wouldn't kick it, for all I know, it must be contaminated with the std's you acquired from hooking up with every single guy you see.For that reason, I wouldn't even touch you with a stick. And try removing that makeup caked on your face and see how all the boys run away from you like bats out of hell. You are nothing but an jealous insecure bitch Natalie,that's why you took everyone away from me. You were scared because you knew I am a hundred times the person you'll ever be. " I finish and bump past her shoulder with my bag, flipping my hair.

Natalie could go rot in hell for all i care.

This is a new start...
