CINDERELLA AND THE BAD BOYS - CHAPTER 29&30
Cinderella entered the class with a bright smile, like someone who just won the lottery.
“Can you tell me the person behind that beautiful smile?” Shadow said
“Move out of my way, “Cinderella said.
“Gift ? Is that for me?” Shadow asked Cinderella when he saw the wrapped gift in her hand.
“It’s not for you, and don’t try to touch it again.” Cinderella said without sparing him a glance.
shadow trace where she was looking at With so much concentration
“Don’t tell me the gift is for that jerk. I hope is not what I’m thinking? Shadow said
“Isn’t he a jerk, and what are you thinking?” Cinderella asked
“He is a jerk; he made you angry yesterday, Shadow said.
“What happened yesterday wasn’t his fault but mine. I was the one who shouted at him because I was mad over something yesterday.
“So I transferred all the aggression in me to him.” Cinderella said
“Why are you defending? Don’t tell me you have a thing for him.” Shadow asked
Before Cinderella could reply,Aaron walked towards them.
“Cindy “Aaron said with a smile.
When did you enter?”Aaron asked
“Some minutes ago, Cinderella said
“Oh! Why don’t you call me? I didn’t notice what Aaron said.
“You can’t since you were so engrossed in talking to her, “Cinderella said, looking at Vero with a hint of jealousy.
“That’s not it. I thought you weren’t coming when I called you, “Aaron said.
Cinderella took Aaron’s hand and placed the gift on it.
“What’s inside? Do you get this for me?”Aaron asked
“Yes! Open it, “Cinderella said.
Aaron did as she said.
He looked at her when he saw the wristwatch that was inside.
“Is this for me?”He asked again.
“Yes! It’s for you, Cinderella said.
Aaron dropped the wristwatch and picked the piece of paper he saw besides the watch .
He picked it up and gave Cinderella a look that meant, What’s there?
He opened it when he saw how she was smiling.
“What’s this?”He asked after reading it.
“I should have told you sooner. I don’t know how you will feel, which is why I have kept my feelings to myself since this year.
“I have been crushing on you. I don’t know how the feelings started, but I can’t stop thinking about you.
“I’m always happy whenever you are around me. I’m always happy when you call me Cindy, even though I don’t like it.
“I never knew what happiness was all about until the day you left the orphanage.
“I’m in love with you, Aaron. I love you.” Cinderella said
Before Aaron could reply, Vero moved closer to them and snashed the paper at him.
“What is this?”Vero asked as she opened it.
“Give me that, “Cinderella said, trying to take back the paper from her.
“No! Let’s all know what’s inside. A love letter, “Vero, was said loudly enough for all other students to hear.
All of them paid attention to it as she read what was written there.
“Out of anger, Cinderella raised her hand to slap her, but Aaron held her hand.
The class started with murmuring.
“Let go of my hand, “Cinderella said.
“I will when I’m done talking, “Aaron said.
“What do you think of me? I can’t believe someone like you has feelings for me.
”We might grow up together, but that doesn’t mean I like you.
”The bond between us is only friendship, and nothing else.
”How do you think we will look if we start dating? How can you even compare yourself to me?
“Don’t you think our background is different? I came from a rich family, come to think of it.
”Who will have someone as pathetic as this as a girlfriend? Not only that, but you are also arrogant.
“No guy will love someone like you, and I won’t allow you to hit my girlfriend, Aaron said.
“Take this. I’m sure you used all your savings to buy it. You can return it so that you can use the money to get yourself a school uniform, as you can see you are the only one without one,”Aaron said.
“Enough of this. You are nothing but a jerk. How dare you hurt her? Shadow said she was trying to punch Aaron, but Cinderella stopped him.
She jerked her hand away from Aaron and landed a hurt slapped on his face.
“I love you, but that doesn’t mean I will tolerate you insulting me.
“I know I’m arrogant and pathetic, but you don’t need to say it here.
“He is right. You are nothing but a jerk. I don’t know what made me fall for someone like you.
“I’m happy this happened; at least I know what you think of me now.
“I end everything with you today. We share no bond starting today “Cinderella said, running out in tears.
“She is really shameless”One of the students said
“More than shameless,she is even worst than a pathetic soul just as he said ,if not how could she confessed her feelings to a guy?” Lovie said earnings a dangerous glare from shadow
Cinderella continues running until she gets to the school garden.
She fell to the ground, crying her eyes out.
“What was I thinking? Why would I confess to him?
“I must have lost it. Where did I see him? Is it not as if he is handsome?
“He has a bad attitude. He has a longer nose than a normal guy, “Cinderella mumbled as she was crying.
She threw the wristwatch away.
“I don’t need it. What did he say that I couldn’t afford my school uniform?
“He must be crazy. I didn’t collect my school uniform because I don’t like it.
”It’s time I go and collect it, “Cinderella said.
“So you also cry? Someone said something that made Cinderella raise her head.
“Theo !! She said
“This wristwatch is too beautiful for you to throw it away.”Theo said it and picked it up.
“All the girls I have come across, whenever they cry, always look beautiful, but how come the case is different from yours?”Theo said
“I’m really happy to see you this way,thanks to the person who did this to you. Theo said and left.
