And all this time I had a huge crush on him but i always kept it to myself aside my best friend Ina. Because I sure did not want to end up like Vivian a girl who confessed her feelings openly to Jaden and was turned down right that instant , crazy right. The worst part about it was that he made it seem like he liked her and it was rumored that they were seen together a couple of times and Jaden made it seem like she was his angel , I really like him but he is a devil. The humiliation she had to face made her leave the school but that was also rumored cause I don't know how true that is , like I said the crush I had on him made me stay so far away from him because I didn't want to be taken for a fool or better still get PLAYED. And me laying emphasis on that makes you wonder how I became his next target right? ... okay I'll tell you. I really don't want to talk about it but seems I've mentioned it I just have to tell you. , it was AMAYA that shrewd Jaden's sister. Well mostly I never tell anyone aside Ina my secrets like seriously I never have but it's like deception and shrewdness runs in their family bloodline. I mean she came to me all nice and convincing and me being the blabber mouth just spilled the beans like fuck ! I really fucked up and I regret it a great deal now . After getting close to me and getting information that I had a crush on her brother she went ahead and told him and I guessed that was how I became his next target... the next girl to be PLAYED , but I'm not going to fall for his tricks although he is sooo tempting, handsome and muscular with a thick voice that sends shivers down your spine and when I say muscular don't imagine an overly muscular guy I don't know how to explain it he is just..... PERFECT. Iris paused for a while before continuing to write in her diary , now let me tell you why I can't muster the courage to attend school today ..... well it's because of Jaden , he ...I mean we what am i even writing i can't seem to think straight just thinking about it. Anyways Jaden almost kissed me yesterday and yes yes I know you're wondering why just hold on ,it's because ...I mean I don't know why he stopped halfway and that's why I said almost. Okay so after Amaya told him I liked him ,he came to me all confident and asked me if what he heard was true ... like what audacity and no matter how you felt everything was just a game and fun to him.

FLASHBACK
School hours were over and Iris was locking her locker. there were few or no one around because she stayed to do some after school studying with Ina and Ina had gone to use the restroom real quick as she had a running stomach. so engrossed with arranging her books neatly in her locker she didn't notice someone approaching her. But just has he came closer she immediately picked his scent ..... was it who she thought it was her heart began to race faster than usual, of course she could never mistake his scent for anyone else even if they got the same perfume his fragrance just hit different. Iris couldn't turn and look she just remained glued to her locker feeling suffocated with her racing heart she just wanted to disappear and she was never shy around anyone as she was very outspoken. but this time her legs were stiff her heart pounding and her head bowed down her feet began to tap on the ground that was what happens anytime she becomes nervous and finally what she dreaded and desired the most at the same time happen Jaden closed the gap between them . she could feel his warm breath on her neck and she was still backing him , she didn't know what to do she just wanted to vanish and at the same time if she was going to have any conversation with him she wished she did not stutter but that was not possible. even her mouth betrayed her around him, finally the tongue-tied mouth opened and she managed to say What?
he chuckled , are you feeling nervous by my presence I just want to talk
wh ... what ... d .. do you want to say, Iris stuttered.
at least face me or don't you even want to look at me..... am I that bad looking he smirked. And with all the courage in her Iris turned around ,what is it?... I really need to.....head..... back home now I'm a bit late already.
well I won't take much of your time, but I heard you wanted to be friends with me .he leaned forward
no! she protested abruptly, I mean...well I ..... I'm so sorry you're too close she held her locker door with her back glued to it. he leaned backwards creating space between them .Well I heard differently amaya told me a different story I thought you'd love to have me around.
I'm sorry but it's not what you think.
are you lieing to me now ?
no I'm not! she managed to muster some words . then should I prove that you're lieing he said ....
how? how would he prove it? she thought .oh heaven lord please can you just take me from here, i could as well drown you know. in the midst of her thought he leaned closer to her leaving only space for breathing between them Iris heart could have ripped off her chest if possible her palms became sweaty and her thighs began to loose strength one hand on the locker entrapping her more and the other on her neck slowly going up to her cheeks in a caressing manner. Iris was out of this world already she closed and eyes and was waiting for it , even if she knew he was a playboy and she should be pushing him away or giving a befitting slap she just stood there waiting for a kiss. her mind was in contrast with her body her limbs wouldn't move but her mind was already pushing him away and dishing out some hot slaps but she still closed her eyes, waiting for his well shaped to to touch hers to caress her lips to just even brush it. was she stupid? does she want to end up like the rest of the other girls and Vivian no no no she couldn't let that happen. But why won't her body move why was it betraying her this was his trick ,his irresistible charm that got the girls everytime please even if it was just my fingers at least move she begged in her mind . And in that moment she felt his lips getting close their warm breath consolidating their nose touching and then he just .....just argghhhhhhhhhhhh .He tucked her hair behind her ears and laughed at her OMG she felt so embarrassed she held her tears for being a fool. That was Jaden the player the one who takes emotions as a joke and yes he just proved that she had feelings for him he made her fall for his tricks and made fun of her .... being a soft girl she wanted to tear up so bad but she held it in . Jaden just laughed and she watched him walk away feeling so confident and highly of himself like always gosh she hated him so much at that moment but at the same time he was her HIGH SCHOOL HEARTTHROB. few minutes later Ina appeared and she told Ina everything and how she was made to look like a fool in front of that bastard. if Ina had not been with her she wouldn't have moved an inch from there.
........
mom knocked on the door and I immediately kept my diary under my pillow and pretended I was sick according to what I told her later on preventing me from attending school today. she opened the door after I told her to come in and she was with Ina just the right person I needed
darling Ina came to see you I told her you were sick , Sasha said
thanks mom.... I faked a sick voice
uhm aunt Sasha thanks for letting me in I'd take care of Iris
anytime girl " mom said and locked the door behind Ina waited to hear her footsteps going downstairs before hitting my head with a pillow.
" what the fuck Ina, what was that for.
for fooling your mom that you're sick when you're healthy"
" come on Ina you know what happened yesterday I really can't face Jaden now I feel so embarrassed .
well you have to tell me how long you're going to stay home just to avoid him ,I already told you just act like nothing happened. " easier said than done Ina, okay fine just for today okay..... just for today and tomorrow I'd be fine and we can go to school okay.....deal?
deal?
"now let's go on social media and find out what's trending .

Ina climbed on the bed and they did what girls do and had a fun day without the knowledge of Iris mom .
