Katherine Thrones
"Did you hear the rumor that's going around school?" Katie asked me and I shook my head, using a fork to take in my fries.
"Everyone's saying Samantha got filers in her lips," Katie stated and I hummed a reply, that's all I could do because I had a mouthful of fries. And secondly, I really don't care about Samantha.
Come to think of it, she hasn't harassed me over Alexander in a long while. Did she give up? Or resort to getting injections to look better and win him over?
"I think she's doing it to win over Alexander, another rumor going around is that Alexander likes girls with thicker lips," Katie stated and I nearly choked on my fries as I laughed at that. She stared at me with confusion
"Why are you laughing?" She questioned and I had to swallow down my fries and force myself to come to a halt on my laughter.
I snickered, "You said what Katie?"
"Alex likes girls with fuller lips, like you. The rumor has been going about that he likes girls with fuller lips since he started dating you. And maybe Samantha went to get rollers just to look like you, with hopes that he will get back together with her." Katie analyzed and much to my own detriment, she was making sense.
It makes a lot of sense. So much sense that the possibility of that happening scared me and suddenly, I had no appetite for my Mcdonalds anymore. A frown took over my features as I had an inner conflict with myself, debating the chances of Samantha's plan coming to pass.
"No, no, no Katherine. I didn't tell you that so you can feel bad about yourself. She's not going to steal him from you." Katie stated, noticing how downcast I looked now and she was most likely trying to cheer me up but it wasn't working.
Samantha was already a better…girl than me, sad to admit. And now that she went for the fillers, she might just…
"Girl I'm telling you, she won't steal him from you. I'm a hundred and one percent positive she won't be able to steal Alex from you, especially considering the fact that she looks like this now…" Katie said and searched her bag for her phone and then she brought it out, opened up Instagram and Samantha's page, then she showed me her most recent picture.
I gasped, taking a moment to digest the…horrendous sight in front of me. And then I broke into a fit of laughter and Katie joined in too.
"Christ! She looks like a botched, half–baked Barbie doll." I laughed at the picture. The filler was definitely a big fail, a very big one and it didn't suit her face at all. It wasn't done nicely, and she looks so bad now.
"Exactly." She agreed, placing her phone into her pockets. "So don't get scared or worried. Trust me, Alex is never going to look at her again." Katie said and now I know that, before I was scared as hell but now that I've seen the disaster on her face, I know that's impossible.
My appetite was back now and I shoved some fries into my mouth, "We still have classes right? Like in the next fifteen minutes?"
"Yes, we do. Chemistry. I absolutely hate Mr. James' classes, they're such a snore!" Katie expressed and took a bite of her burger.
"Like tell me about it! I find his classes so boring." I seconded and brought out my phone from my pocket for nothing else but a little bit of snooping on Samantha's Instagram page, I need to see more of those lips.
"Well now you don't, all you do is stare at Alex for most of the class." Katie pointed out, quite matter–of–factly and I looked away from my phone.
"Not true." I disagreed regardless.
"Oh come on Katherine, you stare at the guy at every opportunity you get. You pay less attention to actual Chemistry and focus on the chemistry between you and Walters." Katie stated and she was right, too right for her own good. All I do in that class honestly is to stare at him and admire him. He sits a few seats in front of me, but he's in the last row and I'm in the middle so I can see his whole view whenever he leans on the wall.
Sometimes our eyes would meet and he'd flash me a small smile which would be the highlight of my whole day and I'd simply melt into a puddle on my seat.
"I see that look on your face Katherine. You're remembering the moments and not only that, you're blushing too!" Katie stated and I was snapped out of my thoughts immediately. I wanted to defend myself but I knew it was most likely clear as day that my cheeks were tomato–red and flustered because of Alex.
"Okay, you caught me," I admitted.
"Katherine! You're doing the exact opposite of what I warned you about. You're visibly falling for him, you're going downhill so fast!" Katie stated the clear obvious and I sighed, reclining into my seat.
She's so right.
But I wish she could understand that it's not going to be that easy at all. I know I messed up, I messed up badly by going ahead to… I refuse to use the word 'fall in love' with him, developing feelings for a Playboy, a boy who has the highest reputation for doing bad things to girls, a boy who acted as the catalyst to cause the break between my mother and I.
A boy who by all means I should be avoiding should never have anything to do with. But I was doing the exact opposite, I was jumping into his arms willingly and making decisions I would definitely regret later.
But, I can't help it.
I was falling in so fast that I don't think I can make a U–turn. Or is there a way one can simply turn off feeling like a light–switch?
"You shouldn't forget that this is a game. The plan was to make him fall for you, and from what I can see so far, that has already happened. All you have to do is find the most crucial moment to end things with him." Katie added and she doesn't know how hard it would be to execute those bundle of words she just told me.
"But I doubt if you can actually do that now that you've fallen so deeply in love with him because it would also hurt you too." She said and that was the truth, I can't even disagree. She sighed as well, shaking her head pathetically at me. "You're obviously in too deep, what am I going to do with you, Katherine?"
"I couldn't help it, Katie. I tried my best not to but Alex is like a…drug, Alex is like a drug. And the more you indulge in it, the more addicted you get to it. I know I messed up, but we can still fix this right?" I said to her and Katie stared at me, unable to answer my question.
Even I myself couldn't answer the question.
Will I be able to fix this? Or have I truly gone in too deep!
