DIALOGUE:Hey guys... Before we get into business here's a few things u need to know about me. My name is Ivana Lytton, I'm seventeen going on eighteen (yay!), I'm in the twelfth grade, my favs are joy(that's my pookie just so you know) food, blogging, kdrama, purple &my ultimate favorite is GOD... Occupation? Well I eat and sleep(if u count that has an occupation because I do it for a living).... Other basic things you need to know about me is that I have two siblings (Lisa and Olivia). I have an enemy(Patricia). I have asthma (it's chronic). Not living with my actual parents because they abandoned me in an orphanage (don't know their whereabouts and it doesn't bother me). Dream uni is Harvard. Fears, well... Animals especially joy. I met joy in kindergarten, we've been inseparable ever since. I have a phobia for heights {"that's why you're soo short" :(Joy said}and finally before I bore u to death, my biggest insecurity are my fingers("they're so tiny.. They look like baby fingers" Joy said. )
DIALOGUE: I met him... No pg
Ivy! She told me everything about herself but I wasn't interested but yh I smiled. She kept saying stuff but I wasn't focused cuz I was still thinking on how to find the guy I saw like five minutes ago. Damn! He was unrealistic.
I went down the Hall into the cafeteria hoping to find him... And I actually did!.
I almost don't notice him at first. Not because he's forgettable — the opposite, actually — but because he's still. In a room full of movement and noise, he's the one fixed point. Leaning against the far wall, half in shadow, legs crossed at the ankle, arms folded like he's holding something back. Maybe himself.
I catch his eyes by accident.
It's like being caught mid-thought — like he's just reached in and found the part of me i weren't ready to share. He doesn't smile. Doesn't look away. Just watches, head tilted slightly like he's trying to figure out what I'm made of.
Something in my chest stutters.
I try not to stare. I fail.
He's beautiful — not in a polished, pretty-boy kind of way, but in the way cliffs are beautiful. Dangerous. Untouched. That jaw could cut through hesitation. There's a scar near his lip, barely there, like someone once got too close and regretted it. His hands are rough, rings on his fingers that look old, maybe stolen. He hasn't said a word, but my body's already writing poetry about the shape of his silence.
He takes a slow sip from the drink in his hand, his gaze still locked on mine. A challenge, or an invitation — i can't tell which. I suddenly forgot whatever i was doing, whoever i was with.
He nods, just once. Barely there.
That's it.
And yet somehow… it's everything. I feel it in my spine. A low hum beneath your skin. The beginning of something. Something I'm not sure I'm ready for — but already know I won't walk away from it.
I wanted to introduce myself but found myself stuttering and lost of words. He went along with his friends but turned back to look at me and winked(I could literally melt into his arms at this point ). It felt surreal.
I was soo happy until I found out that it really wasn't real. I was still on my bed sleeping so IT WAS ALL A DREAM. I miss dream boy already. :(
DIALOGUE:I met him! (This is pg 13)
So yeah after yesterday's dream, I've been thinking it looked too real to just be a dream and besides I've never had a dream and remember it in details. Anyway I told Joy about the dream and she said maybe I just felt horny or it is probably just list because I'm lonely. I should probably feel offended but wee are both single and lonely. (Joy is actually Bisexual, that's why it's so hard for her to get into a relationship).
Was I dreaming, I thought to myself or was I just seeing things because why is dream boy right in front of my desk. I slapped myself real hard has he picked the empty desk next to mine(ps:i watch a lot of kdrama so I thought it was fate). It was next to the window... The sun touched down on his face making his skin glow and his eyes... Just marvelous!.
I tapped Joy who was sitting behind me with her head facing her desk and told her that he was dream boy. She looked at me crazy but has soon as she laid her eyes on him, her eyes lit up. "Damn! " She managed to slightly whisper. Everyone in class was staring especially me.
DIALOGUE:Mistakes
I was so curious about dream boy(found out his name is Roman. If you ask me, his name definitely doesn't match his face). He sat alone in the cafeteria so I worked up all my courage and sat next to him... I abruptly introduced myself and started blabbing nonsense. He looked disgusted and left the table, trashing his food. His name might not sit well with his face, but maybe his personality:(
Everyone saw this and filmed it. The worst he could have done was just to tell me to excuse him not go as far as trashing his food hmph. Good for nothing son of a b! tch(sry I cuss a lot). I still liked him though cuz it still felt like fate but I hated him the instant I saw the video of him humiliating me on the school's platform. The heading was "Ivy cooked or Ivy was cooked" (Such a scraz heading but still I was trending in a very horrible way).
I cried a lot and ranted to Joy and we both decided to hate dream boy together. (We made a promise that whoever liked him will become a betrayer).
DIALOGUE:Betrayer next instant(a lil pg rated)
This was the content of the platform (a lil blog from my enemy):
"Ivy cooked or Ivy was cooked"
It's your girl Patricia bringing you with the latest news. Ivana Lytton really thought she could bag the new boy well call that delusion cuz he was totally irritated saying she spat a lot especially in his food so he just had to trash it.
Bruh, this was all exaggeration( except the trashing of the food part) and lies. It was trash but people still laughed, the stupid blog got over 7.8 k likes and just two hate comments(which was from joy and I). I still went to school the next day cuz I didn't care, I'm joking, I went to school like a week after praying it would die off but nah, everyone was still making fun of me. I was expecting him to come apologize or something but nah, he pretended like nothing had happened, he didn't even make any attempt to take down any of the videos and the stupid blog, he just continued his day with his really attractive firm face(no! don't fall for him. He's just a player like the rest of them) kdramas are fake--but I still love 'em.
Patricia and her "friends" Walked pass my locker laughing but all I wanted at that moment was revenge. Joy said revenge wasn't the best answer, I'm joking, she wanted full on revenge. To be truthful I was too scared to orchestrate a revenge but Joy reminded me of what Patricia did. Patricia and I were never two Pringles in a can(or is it two peas in a pod, whatever, you get my point). We hated each other to bricks but what she did was nothing compared to my(I mean our, I and Joy's) revenge. We put a note on her table that in quote was from Roman to her. I stole Roman's note and Joy paid someone to copy his hand writing perfectly (cuz Patricia as been stalking him from day one). This was a perfect plan and I got my camera ready and joy prepared to write a blog. We were geniuses especially Joy, she's good. The content of the letter "Be my girlfriend... Ps~from Roman. "
If u ask me, our handwritings are similar. Come to think of it, I have never heard his voice.
After she saw the letter she chuckled and sprinted to right in front of his desk and said;"Yes!, Yes!, I'll be your girlfriend. Don't cheat on me and I'll never cheat on you. We could even get married, don't you think? (She said really loudly) I love you Roman".He looked really confused. He turned around and so did she. They caught us filming and instantly she knew what was going on so she charged at both of us but yeah it was live. She was soo embarrassed and Roman looked at me with a disappointed gaze. I was shocked to realize what I had done, rage got me and Patricia was crying really loudly making us seem like the bad guys(which we are at this point). The comments wasn't even what we had expected. Everyone, apparently wasn't laughing but calling us names. I knew she deserved it (maybe not) but maybe we took it a bit too far(okay, really, really far) I didn't want to show remorse so I just laughed it off and said "isn't it just a little joke, why take it soo seriously, I mean you've done worse things to me"." That was in the past and this is now "Roman said. Everyone was shocked and looked to his direction... We totally forgot about Patricia. We were all amazed cuz we thought he maybe had mouth odour so he didn't want us to smell it or maybe his voice was squeaky but nah all our assumptions were wrong cuz damn! His voice was just as sexy as his face and physique. He stood up to leave and I followed.
H~I~S pov(Roman's pov) :
DIALOGUE: Moving in
My brother got expelled from yet another school and this is like the third time this month all cuz he wants to go back to Chicago. Chicago wasn't even all that, we had to move from there cuz of dad's death. I didn't like him do yeah not my business. Trice didn't like him either, he just wanted to go back to Chicago cuz of his girlfriend, Ava... I mean ex. They broke up when we moved here;Texas.But according to him they still love each other even though I warned him soo many times that she was cheating on him with his best friend;Leo... Trice's actual name is Tri but to him it sounded boring and Trice sounded way better).
I was actually getting used to this new school but Trice had to ruin it and made us move. We've been moving a lot since dad died(the man gave me such a weird name so we could be namesakes--no offence to all the other Roman's out there). We've never really settled in a place. Anytime I think we do, we move again.
DIALOGUE:New school
The fact that we never get to settle in discouraged me to make any friends. Trice and I were put in seperate schools (don't know why but I'm actually happy about it). Anytime we move I always stuck to my motto "stay reserved, really really reserved and don't smile, they'll go away if you don't smile and say a word. Never forget, don't make friends or fall in love with anyone or you'll end up like Trice--sad and a pathetic useless person".
As i walked into the class I took deep breaths and scanned the class for an empty desk to seat in quietly without anyone realizing my presence. My eye caught this really cute girl, she was unimaginably really really attractive that I got myself getting lured towards her like I was put under a spell(in author's perspective:
---
She was at her desk when he saw her for the first time.
Not posing. Not performing. Just there — curled up in the chair, legs folded beneath her, a pencil tapping lightly against her lower lip. Her laptop glowed in front of her, a half-written thought blinking on the screen. She was chewing on her lip, distracted, brows drawn together in a frown that somehow made her impossibly cute. Cute in that messy, effortless, kill-me-now kind of way. Hair pulled up with strands escaping everywhere, soft sweatshirt sliding down one shoulder, shorts barely visible beneath it. Bare legs. Bare feet. Bare everything, in that innocent-but-not-really kind of way.
He stepped into the room — quiet, casual — but the second he saw her, something stopped.
She didn't hear him at first. Didn't even look up. But his gaze locked on her like gravity. The kind of gaze that made you forget how to think. Still. Heavy. Like he'd never seen a girl sit at a desk before and yet somehow, this had ruined him a little.
And then… she felt it.
That electric little pulse at the base of her neck. That sense that she wasn't alone. Her head turned, slow, curious. Their eyes met.
She didn't smile — not yet. But her mouth curved, like maybe she was amused that he was so obviously caught. And he was. Caught in that look, in the quiet curve of her thigh under the desk, in the soft glow of her skin under the warm desk lamp.
Still, he didn't say anything.
Didn't have to.
He just leaned against the doorway, arms crossed, and watched her like he had nowhere else to be. Like the whole room had narrowed down to her.
And for the first time all day…
she forgot what she was supposed to be doing.
---)
I didn't even know I was standing in front of her desk until our eyes locked and she even more attractive. I picked the empty desk next to hers cuz I could feel everyone's gaze on me but I looked away and pretended not to notice.
Lunchtime was even worse cuz a lot of people were following me, tried talking to me and other random shii but all I wanted now was to get through the day and get back home. I sat on an empty table which was opposite the attractive girl from earlier(found out her name is Ivy--cute!. No don't fall, don't fall but damn! She's attractive asf).I put on noise cancellers for relaxation and was lost in thought until I saw Ivy approaching me. She was saying stuff(she looked soo cute) but I couldn't hear what she was saying cuz of my ear plugs. I tried taking them off but it fell in my food(i could see the ear wax--It was disgusting)i felt disgusted and embarrassed and got up to trash my food. I felt embarrassed cuz I think she saw it so I just left the cafeteria.
DIALOGUE:Do I? (No pg)
When I got to school the next day, I thought she would come up and laugh in my face, I felt embarrassed so I decided to skip school.I thought it would die the next day but to my surprise she wasn't even in school (Phew! Lucky me but I actually kinda wanted to see her). I waited the whole day to see her and even tried going to her house to check up on her but what excuse would I have for going there?(i can't say I was worried cuz that would definitely sound creepy and besides I can't forget my motto).I gave up cuz of my motto but when I didn't see her for a week I was actually kinda sad (even if I met her for just a day she still felt familiar and it made me really curious). I wanted to ask her friend Joy cuz they seemed super close. (I decided to forget my motto cuz the more I didn't see her the more desperate I became)But she finally came to school the next day.
DIALOGUE: Disappointed
When she came back to school I was happy but couldn't express that to her cuz I could tell she wasn't happy to see me(she and joy were literally giving me a fwcking death stare) --Did I do something wrong?.
Damn! I needed to use the restroom soo bad(it was number two) I couldn't hold it in so I sprinted to the restroom when no one was looking. When I was finally at ease I went back to class. Some of my notes were missing and I needed them for the next class. I was searching for it until this random girl whom I've literally never seen before just came up to me ranting about nonsense about me being her boyfriend (is she blind? I thought... Probably! ) why is this random person saying crazy shii. I soon understood what was going on when I saw ivy filming and laughing. I was soo disappointed cuz I thought maybe she was different but she's clearly a revenge seeking bitch. I just remembered that before I went to the restroom I saw a weird blog... I felt really bad for ivy... All those things were lies... Wanted to apologize but the restroom was really calling my name.
