Jonathan's
POVI stared blankly at the can of beer in my hand while the distant sounds of Tj's and Luke's constant yelling about the video game they were playing, echoed in the background. I kept thinking back to what had happened at the cafe yesterday afternoon between me and Jake Castillo and his, pretty innocent sister.
Jake and I have been, let's just say, enemies, for a long time now. I hate his guts just as much as he hates mine and every time I see him all I can see is red. But thanks to my mother who taught me the skills on how to mask my emotions very well, I'll say it came pretty handy nowadays.
The Royal siblings. That's what they're known as in the entire world. Their mafia is known as the Royal Mafia and because of that, they're basically royalties that everyone treats them with the amount of respect they think they should deserve. But not to me when it comes to Jake Castillo. He's like an annoying thorn that has been bugging my side, and the reason why we hate each other so much?
Well, some things are just better off not mentioning. But I still remember every small detail of it like it just happened yesterday and not three years ago.
But as for his
sister, she's quite something. For past recent years, I always noticed that she can barely look me in the eye but when she does, it barely last for more then a second. It's either she looks away and blushed or avoid looking at me at all.But
that'sweird. I'mveryhardnottolookat. Imeanhaveyouseenmegirl? There'snotanounceofuglinessinme.Tj and Luke's loud conversation snapped me out of my thoughts. Despite the fact that we had turned Tj's basement into our very own hang out spot and plus with the sound proof walls, their conversation was just too loud to bear.
"Nah man, that's so last year. He's dating the brunette chick now, the one that goes to saint Christopher." Tj said and spared me a glance.
"He's an idiot with a poor taste in girls. What does he see in her anyway?" Luke said while I watched on, trying to catch up with what they're talking about.
More like who they're talking about.
" Um hello! Have you seen the chick? She's tall, she's gorgeous, long brown hair, brown eyes and not forgetting that hot body that she was totally showing off in that tight ass uniform. As much as I hate Castillo, I'd love to tap his girl someday."
Oh, so that's
who they'retalkingabout."Dude." Luke said before they shared a look and then glanced at me.
I raised a brow and placed the half filled beer can on top of the table beside me.
"Madison. I think that's her name." They both looked at me in surprise when I finally spoke up for the first time after the last thirty minutes.
"From what I heard, they were fake dating before they became official. It's just a rumor but we know Castillo right? He can even go that low just to get what he wants." Tj added before giving a low high five to Luke.
Faking dating....
Suddenly, I got an idea.
"What do you guys think about Faye Castillo?" They glanced at each other in confusion.
"What about her? She's his small sister. She can be half annoying then her brother sometimes, especially when people do everything for them just because she's the princess of the royal mafia, but I think she takes advantage of that too."
I frowned and then nod at Luke.
"What about you?" He smirked and fold his arms across his chest.
"Well personally, I think she's pretty hot." I narrowed my eyes at him.
"How come?" He stared back at me as if I just asked him to speak English for the first time.
"Bro, cmon! Don't tell me you were blind all this time?"
"I didn't notice. So enlighten us."
"Well other then the fact that she's the princess of the royal mafia, she's hot, gorgeous, smart and very very friendly. There was this one time, she helped me with a calculus question during class and thanks to her, I know most of the calculus stuff. And remember that party at Betty's place and we didn't go to because we thought it was lame? Well she was one of the few people that went, and someone posted a picture of her on their i*******m story, she was smoking hot man! I'm telling you guys, she may not look the part in school, but wait when she's not
in school. You'll be surprised."After hearing what Luke just said, the idea that had randomly popped into my head kept nagging at me for me to do it.
"What about you Tj? Any thoughts on Faye Castillo?" He shrugged.
"I'll change my mind when I see her how Luke is describing her right now. Wait, why are you asking about her so suddenly?" I shrugged and then smirked.
"I think....I should ask her out."
"What?!" They both yelled in unison.
"Yeah. It's about time I get to know her." Luke started shaking his head furiously.
"No, absolutely no man, are you kidding me? You're already involved with her brother, and now you wanna "get
toknowher"? You're just asking for more trouble.""So? Look, it's not gonna be a serious thing. Do you guys really not know me that well? You know how it is when it comes to girls for me right?" They slowly nod their heads.
"So, why not test out the same game on her? I'm not serious about her or anything, I just wanna-"
"Use her?" Tj cut in.
"Exactly. And that way, I could get her to tell me some things that I don't know about Jake while at the mean time, I could use her to tick him off."
"Oooooh. Damn, you're mean." I chuckled.
"I'll ruin him, then, I'll break her."
Faye'sPOVMr Samuelson, my English teacher, continued talking about whatever he was talking about in the first place, his words were too far for me to hear, yet I kept jotting down important details on my notebook. My mind was blank and my eyes were glued to Mr Samuelson's mahogany table right in the front of the classroom.Then, just before he was about to add something else, the bell rang indicating that our fourth period just ended. Now, it's lunch time. I leaned back on my chair for a moment and watched the rest of the students filed out of the classroom and then I closed my notebook and placed all my pens and other small items inside my pencil case before putting both inside my bag.The minute I looked up, I saw Jonath
Faye'sPOV"Hot pink? Or aqua blue?" I held up both the two dresses I just mentioned their color and showed them to Kaycee who was lying lazily on my bed, typing on her phone while popping her gum at the same time.She stared at the dresses with narrowed eyes before lifting them up to stare at me instead."Wow, you really know your colors more then fashion." I frowned and watched her swing her long legs over the bed and strolled towards me and grabbed the dresses from my hands and tossed them back inside the closet."I'm about to go crazy. Jonathan is gonna be here in an hour cos he said that when I texted him a while ago, and I'm still looking for a dress to wear."
Faye'sPOVI have never felt this much happiness before in my entire life. My excitement never runs out and every little thing that I do, makes me think about him and just smile to myself. I was on cloud 9. Even my own family started to notice my happy change of mood, and they started to wonder why so they decided to ask Jake about it, which was the last thing I want for them to do, but luckily, Jake never said a word because he knew absolutely nothing about what's been making me happy nowadays.He never stopped texting and kept face timing whenever he got the chance, which makes me even more happy and excited just to hear his voice and see his handsome face on the screen of my phone.The next day for school, I quickly got dressed and then drove t
Faye'sPOV"Which one do you think is better? The blue one or the red one?"Mom asked while I continued texting Jonathan on my phone with a smile on my face. We were in mom's walk-in closet, and I was helping her choose a dress to wear at a boards meeting in Paris that she's gonna go to in a few hours. Honestly, I didn't even hear what she was saying not till she start flicking her fingers right to my face, when I finally looked up from my phone."Hello! Earth to Faye. Are you gonna help me or not?" I quickly nod my head."Of course I'm helping mom." She narrowed her eyes at me."Yeah sure, you're definitely helping by staring a
Faye'sPOVSaturday afternoon at around six something o'clock, I was rushing about in my room trying to get ready. Knowing that Jonathan will be picking me up at seven, being patience is probably something he doesn't even know. So I tried my best to get ready as fast as I can so I can be on time and won't make him wait for me. I rushed into my closet and picked out a dark blue cropped hoodie with a white Adidas logo printed on the front and then quickly slipped on a pair of black jeans to go with it. I put on my sneakers before brushing my hair and putting the top half as a bun on the top of my head and letting the lower half to flow down my back, freely.I applied a thin wing of eyeliner on my eyes and then put on some red cherry lipstick and after all that, I slipped on a pair of
Jonathan'sPOVI took a long drag of my cigarette and let out a big puff of smoke while I watched the street race unfold before me. One arm draped around the skinny brunette standing by my side while the one holding on to my cigarette between my thumb and index finger as our eyes trained on the racing cars rushing before us in full speed. My mind was completely focused on the race without any thought of Faye lingering in my head. It's not like I think of her anyway but something about that girl bugs me the wrong way.I think it has something to do with the way she presents herself to others. Acting so innocent with all smiles and happiness, definitely displaying the princess act as who she really is. But when I'm around her, I get the feeling that she's holding back onto something.
Faye'sPOV"Hi Faye!""Hey Faye. Looking great today.""Good morning Faye."I waved, I nod, I smiled at people as I walked down the hallway with a smile on my face as I said 'hi' back to people that were greeting me. It's always been like this everyday. Random people would come up to me and say hello or just called out a greeting whenever I walked by. With a good reputation like mine here in school, these things are not hard to get for the rest of my life. The respect and kindness from others.I reached my locker and punched in my code and started pulling out books and folders that I need for my first class on first period, calc
Faye'sPOVI skipped dinner, not because of the reason that I'm not feeling hungry it's because I feel like throwing up if I eat something and every time I think about food. I was lying on my stomach on my bed, with one of my arm lying above my head and one lying stiffly by my side. I couldn't stop the tears that trail freely down my face, but I made no attempt to wipe them away. My phone kept vibrating endlessly on top of the nightstand near my bed and I'm pretty sure it's only Kaycee whose calling.TheonlypersonthatcaresaboutmeandthestateI'
