Prompt a day by : Fiction Prompt: Everything about her was a lie.
I was a loner back then before I meet this pretty woman named Janice. She changed me, everything to me. I ignored all the happiness that surrounded me. I focused myself in studying and have a higher grades. I thought that was the one that made me happy. But I realized that it wasn't when Janice showed me what the real world was.
We became friends when I was reading books outside the room. Sitting in the bench and feels the vibrant feeling of wind. I was so surprised when she just suddenly talk to me.
I knew her of course because I heard her name from my classmates. They said they're willing to die just to date her. It was idiotic for me of what they said. I thought it was but when I saw her in front of me. I felt like I was seeing an actress.
When the wind blows her hair and flies away. All I could said while remain my mouth opened was "Damn." She's really pretty and very charming. The way she talks was full of sense. I didn't know but while hearing her talking that time. I was blown away and I was thinking that it wouldn't end.
We became friends because she said she likes me to be her friend. Although I was thinking that I hope that she loves me. But it never stops me of dreaming to be with her as she asked to be one of her friends. It was a feeling like you're in heaven, I'm sure that was.
We always hang out, in school and in outside. Going in a mall, karaoke bars and any entertainment places. I finally felt that when I was with her. The true happiness that I felt was lacking was found.
She introduced me with her friends. Actually I felt uncomfortable since I haven't experienced it since then. But she held me, pulled my hand and said. "Don't worry, it's fine. They will be your friends now."
After what she said to me I finally joined in. Together with her friends I enjoyed their company. I laughed hard even though I felt they never liked it. They stopped laughing when I started to.
I didn't mind it because I trusted Janice. What she told me before was I knew it was true. That's why there were nights I found myself smiling alone. Thinking of her, doing crazy things.
Slowly I thought that I was falling for her. I thought of telling her how I felt like in the movies. Maybe I was just stupid or just an idiots didn't know what kind of expression they were showing to me. Maybe I pretend I didn't know because as long as she's with me.
One afternoon, she was walking at the back of our school. I followed her slowly so that she wouldn't notice me and I wanted to surprise her. I brought one flower of rose because that's what the movies thought me. In this kind of situation I should be romantic to make a woman fall to a man.
She stopped at the corner with her friends smoking cigarettes. I thought that I heard my name so I slowly walked a bit nearer without noticing from them. While listening, what my instincts told me was true. They talked about me and it seems they were fun of me. I knew it from the beginning so it's fine. Janice was only the one that's important to me so I was thinking that just let them be.
I was planning to leave when Janice laughed so loud. "You mean that weird guy Tony? I'm not falling for him of course. I was just having fun seeing him dedicating himself to me. Why would I love that guy when my purpose from the start was to fool him." Janice was so arrogant while saying those words. She even showing an actions that was so intimidating.
I couldn't help it and I couldn't take all her words anymore. My tears began to fell as I moved backwards and slowly walking away. I didn't look my path so I fell in the floor when I hit the trash can in the school.
I immediately stood up when they came over what was that sound. I felt so ashamed and didn't know what to say. I just nodded my head while taking my foot steps to avoid them.
I have no time to see what's Janice reaction after she saw me. I didn't care for it what she felt back then because everything to her was just a lie. It's painful but it's better that way.
My heart was broken into pieces. My happiness was shred when I thought it was slowly building.
