~ Donald café
In a room full of computers and technologies, many youngsters were there to play games while some came to check important results.
But that's not the case for Annie, she sat in front of her computer and buried her face on the table, sobbing quietly.
She tried so hard to avoid attention but the young guy beside her still noticed. He looked at her computer and nodded his head.
Annie's here to check out what the tracker she put on her boyfriend recorded. She just wanted to know what her boyfriend has been up to these days but it recorded the last thing she'd expect.
He made a deal with her step father to monitor her in case she'll do something stupid and in return, he'll marry her best friend.
He's with her mainly because of her money and because he's doing whatever he wants since she won't question him anyways.
Annie hated her family so much, especially her mother, she remarried just two days after Annie's dad died.
Her mother's action made her hate her stepfather, she felt like her mother killed her dad.
And the last person she expected this betrayal from is her best friend. Guess Betrayal doesn't come from afar, it's leaching right beside you.
Annie stood up from the computer and turned it off, she walked out of the café.
~ Park
Annie walked into the park slowly, she raised her head up as her eyes swept across the people there until she finally sighted a young guy.
He had a beaming smile on his face as he stared at her, Annie faked a smile on her face also as she walked toward him.
" What took you so long? I've been waiting for the past five minutes " he complained with a cute pout on his face.
" I'm sorry, I was contemplating on what to wear for our dates today, sorry Richie " Annie said and held his hand.
" I've warned you countless times to stop calling me Richie, can't you at least act like Ria and stop calling your boyfriend by name " he lamented.
" Are you dating Ria? If not, why is Ria mentioned in this conversation? " Annie asked with a smile on her face.
Her smile is just a facade to hide her anger right now, she felt like ripping Richie apart? how can she not notice their relationship after hearing such words from him?
" What are you saying? I'm trying to say Ria used to call her ex boyfriend ' Baby ' " he quickly denied.
" Oh, how do you know? I thought you guys don't talk, moreover, she has never told me that " Annie continued to smile, even though her veins were about to pop out inside of her.
" We just had a small talk yesterday, " he lied.
Annie halted in her steps, she looked at Richie and let out a bewildered scoff.
" You guys should have an agreement before you lie to me, " she said.
" What are you saying? You're acting so weird today " Richie's brow creased.
" I texted Ria yesterday, she said she never met you " she replied to him, gifting him a deadly glare.
" You probably texted her in the morning, we met around evening " he suddenly smiled, awkwardly.
" Nah, I texted her around midnight " Annie gritted her teeth.
Richie's smile dropped slowly, he looked at Annie who had tears lined up on her eyelid.
" Do you get it now? you guys should have a meeting and agree before you lie to me " she said.
" She probably doesn't want to cause a misunderstanding between us, she's the perfect example of an ideal girlfriend, " he said.
Annie's heart shattered into pieces, she could feel the shards of her broken heart piercing her skin.
" Then date her! " she yelled.
" Ideal girlfriend huh? date her then, don't start lecturing me " she sneered as tears streamed down her face like a river.
" Why can't you just lay low? Why can't you act like a girl, just learn from Ria. She doesn't yell or question orders given to her " he said.
" Because I'm tired of hearing Ria Ria Ria! it's Ria there, it's Ria here, you are obsessed with Ria!! " she screamed.
" Ah! I don't know what I'm doing dating a fatherless girl, I've forgotten that they'll never know the meaning of respect for a man " he muttered.
Annie shrieked as more tears fell from her eyes, she couldn't hold in her tears.
" Yes I'm fatherless! Yes, I don't know the meaning of respect for a man! " she yelled at the top of her voice.
She could only let out her anger by yelling at him, their heated argument quickly drew the attention of people in the park.
They all looked at them like a show while some were even recording them.
" I'm sorry I'm not what you expect so don't bother dating me anymore… " she paused.
" Young master Richie, I can't be your fantasy, I can't be your dream lady so please stop the deal with my stepfather and just talk to Ria " she continued.
" You knew? you're stalking me? " he exclaimed unbelievably.
" Is that called stalking? Call it whatever you wish to, I don't care. Don't worry, I'll soon get out of your life, you won't be seeing me again " she said.
" And where are you going? ain't your parents in this city, where do you think you can go? " he scoffed.
" You're the one I wanted to tell the good news about before, followed by Ria since you're the two best people in my life but I guess you ain't worth it, I've forgotten that I only have scumbags in my life " she replied.
Richie waited curiously for her to talk.
" I'm going to school," she said.
Richie burst into a bout of laughter, he laughed so hard that his stomach started to talk.
" You? Which school? dullard school right? " he said amidst his laughter.
" No, I'm going to the best school in the city, Royal college, the one at skylight road " she replied, not minding his sarcastic remarks.
Richie's smile died down, it became as silent as the dark of night.
" That's your dream college right? but your dull brain doesn't allow you to pass their entry exam " she laughed.
" I'll be leaving this stupid place that creates shadows of my nightmare, I'm going to cast everything behind and start a new life at Royal college "
" So with all due respect, young master Richie, I'm breaking up with you " she said as she wiped her tears with her hand.
She gave him one last look before making her way out of the park, leaving his face so lost in color.
