Turning the Tables

"NO! There's no freaking way I'm falling for him! No-siree!", I stated, crossing my arms and pouting.

She just laughed and said, "As I said in my e-mail, if that's the story you wanna believe." Then winked at me in a weird manner.

"What are you doing ?", I asked, raising my eyebrow in the process.

"I'm trying to tease you.", she said, like it was obvious or something.

"What, are you lesbian or something?"

"Never mind. I was trying to make fun of you, dummy.", she sassed, rolling her eyes.

It took a while for me to realize these things: a) I'm cursed, b) I'm forced to live someone else's life and c) I'm standing here right now with the same sorceress who cursed me.

Welcome to my world, people.

"Well, it's getting late, my darling. I better get going or else my beauty's gonna fade soon.", she said, putting sone hair behind her ear, which I assumed is for dramatic effect.

"What beauty?", I mumbled.

"Hey, watch your mouth, young lady!", she said, pointing a finger at me.

First, 'honey', then 'darling', now 'young lady'?

This woman's got issues.

"Ciao!", she finally said, before disappearing behind a puff of smoke.

I made my way to my bed and laid down, still in awe of what had happened.

But could what she was saying be true? Could I really like Harry?

I sighed and decided to just sleep on it. Tomorrow's gonna be a weird encounter.

(The next day...)

I was walking down the hall, looking for my two best friends, when I bumped into someone.

Please don't be Harry, please don't be Harry.

I looked up and saw it was... Louis? Whoa, didn't recognize him. He looked so... handsome.

Wait, what? I'm supposed to fall in love with Harry, not his best mate.

"Um... hey, Louis.", I said. He looked at me, as if trying to be friendly, too.

"Um... hi?", he said, though it came out more of a question. Awkward.

"Listen, I'm gonna head for class, 'kay? Bye!", I said quickly, running in the opposite direction.

I turned around the corner and looked to see if he was still near. Phew, thank goodness. I couldn't handle the awkwardness in the air anymore.

When I turned around, bam! Another slam. Aw, come on! Who was it this time-

"Veronica?", he asked, and I swear the hair in my arms stood up. Just who I was avoiding.

"Heyy.", I said, scratching the back of my neck, a habit I was never able to correct.

"So... I'm gonna go this way.", he said, starting to walk away. But I know I couldn't let him, 'cause there was this one question that kept bugging me.

"Wait!", I said, grabbing his arm, which seemed to shock him. Tingles shot up my spine, but I had to do this.

"Why did you save me? I thought you hated my guts.", I asked, laughing slightly at the end and looking down.

He looked at me slowly and I saw some glimmer on his eyes. I had to blink twice to make sure I wasn't seeing things. He looked so vulnerable right now, it made me wanna melt.

"I- I- ... ", he stuttered, which surprisingly I found cute.

Snap the hell out of it, Ronnie!

But that didn't last long. He quickly jerked his arm away from me, as if something made him realized something. His soft face turned into a hard one, and scoffed.

"I just saved you since there was no one around. Mom and Dad would kill me if they found out I let a kidnapping take place right before my eyes, me doing nothing about it. So don't get all giggly because I didn't do it for you. I did it to save my ass.", he said with a straight face, not showing any emotion at all.

I was taken aback with what he said. I first felt hurt, but that was quickly replaced with anger. What is the matter with him?! First, he's all sweet then the next he's hard.

Bipolar much?!

"You know what? Piss off, Wilson!", I yelled, making some people turn our way. His eyes widened a bit, and with that, I stormed off.

I decided to skip my first class and head straight for the bathroom. I locked it then slid down the door. There I poured everything out. He was being such a jerk.

What made me mad was this time, I didn't deserve it. I was so kind to him last night, a first time for me, actually.

But one thing's for sure. If he keeps this up, I'm gonna have trouble falling in love with that bastard.

A/N: Aw, poor Ronnie. So, whatcha all think of the story so far? Hope you're all enjoying. Please, guys,let me hear from you. No shy and quiet readers, 'kay? Please like, vote and comment! Love you, my mangoes! :-)
