Time went by so fast. although I had a good time with Ina ,the next day came so quickly. it's another day to go to school, I had lied about not feeling well yesterday but today I don't have a choice I already promised Ina we'd attend school together today. Iris paused and heaved a deep sigh before closing her diary abruptly but on a second thought she flipped it open again.
Now tell me what should I do .....I don't have a fever neither do I have anything to lie about to avoid going to school but then again how long would I have to avoid Jaden . I'm not like Vivian, my mom is strict and I can't possibly change school seriously am I mad . Okay I think I'm overthinking this I just need to take a deep breath and relax like what's the worst that could happen I mean I have Ina. well so today my mission is to face Jaden and act like nothing happened ,at least try to gain my self respect back .
To be honest at this point my anger has clouded my emotions and I want to get back at him yes that's what I'd do, I want to make him feel sorry and at least for once in his life and in the history of hiddenville college I want to make Jaden Dexter humble.... but the question is how exactly am I going to do that? oh dear diary this is bizarre but he's overly confident and doesn't think before he acts so I'd do the same. Today I'd walk up to Jaden and slap him, yes in front of everyone.......
Iris picked up her phone and dialed Ina's number " hello Ina are you ready for school "
" it's surprising how you called me first, I usually have to drag you out of your house before you remember there's anything called school"
"well Ina that's because today's different "
" meaning?" Ina asked curiously.
" I mean to say .... remember how Jaden made me feel so embarrassed? "
"yes go on"
"i want to humiliate him as well, and please don't ask me how because I don't know yet but I just want to retaliate it's killing me because I can't get it out of my head .... the moment where I closed my eyes and he just laughed "
" well I get you Iris but don't you think you'd be inviting more trouble if you cross his part . I've been telling you to forget it and brush it off"
" come on Ina just this once okay , please.....I cross my heart"
" fine we'd talk better at school "
Iris giggles "sure see you then, byeee "
"byeeeeee" Ina hangs up.
yessssssss , I don't know how but finally that handsome moron would know how to treat a girl right . And I'm pretty sure that's because he has never faced any embarrassment before, what do you expect with that alluring face of his . But that doesn't justify anything I'm also so beautiful and alluring one of the the top ten of the school but he's just too busy flirting to notice. I wonder what having him as a boyfriend would feel like? well that's a whole lot of trouble for whoever it is or gonna be , as for me I'm contempted with just staring from a distance too bad I would completely destroy any chances of us being friends today. Honestly you can't blame me , he started it

AT SCHOOL
Ina and I arrived at school that day ,trust me I was so confident that I could embarrass Jaden by either kissing him back or slapping his face in front of everyone. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do yet but I just knew I would create some kind of drama. That aside, remember when I told you I and Ina were among the prettiest girls in school so it was only natural we drew attention the moment we stepped in . Yes that was how it was and I really enjoyed the attention, but Ina didn't quite enjoy it as much as I did . Anyways there was so many people who came to exchange pleasantries with us, probably just to be among our friend list . But to be honest I don't think that would ever be possible because Ina and I enjoyed each other company so well, and I don't think we need anymore crowd ... you get what I mean right? .Don't get me wrong ,being Among the top ten didn't mean we were the prettiest girls in hiddenville. ladies like Charlie and Vanessa were not to be messed with when it came to beauty but even at that I still rate myself and Ina a ten over ten minus nothing. Before I forget have I truly explained to you how contrasting of a character Jaden is?. well now listen , his dressing is always neat and ironed but never tucked in and he always flies his collar. come to think of it, even after he tries to dress up like the other razz guys I know ,it just always seem to suit him somehow .And on top of that people wonder how he keeps his grades high among the top five in his class, when he hardly listen to lectures. Well after getting close to that witch Jaden's sister Amaya ,I figured he reads at least four hours every night and also takes online classes.
To be honest I think I'm the only one aside his sister that knows about this . everyone else thinks probably he hypnotized the female teachers with his charm or probably dating one of them because of his earned title as the playboy of hiddenville. well if Amaya didn't tell me how he keeps his grades up, I might as well just believed the rumors . And you might be wondering why I didn't gossip about that with Ina, being my best friend. Well Ina doesn't like Jaden one bit and there was no reason why I would tell her, not like she cared. well trust me I tell Ina everything about me, down to everything in my diary or even what I had for breakfast . So there was nothing you'd tell Ina about me that would surprise her and vice versa , but anything about jaden tends to piss her off. I wonder if she even knew me more than my own mom ?. hmmmmmmmmmmm.
well amist my thoughts I saw Jaden..... JADEN ? ... omg I tried so bad to keep my cool but my hands became sweaty again and my feets starting to tap on the ground continuously. oh heavens lord what is wrong with me IRIS IRIS IRIS .
I shifted my butts to adjust my sitting position, trying to act normal like I didn't care and was confident, well on the outside it seems but I knew very well that I was so uncomfortable and shy to the bones just by seeing him. come to think of it he hasn't even seen me yet, and how on earth do I plan on retaliating if I just keep behaving like this. okay Iris breath in ...
and breath out , I kept doing it a couple of times .Not like it was actually working but I just needed to do something to calm myself or distract my and then my savior came ... phew ! it was Ina. My baby had gone to the staff room to handle some stuffs as she was the class rep. I stood up to go and meet her because she was the only one to at least calm me down. Trust me I know what you're thinking right now, that probably I'm shy and timid. I promise I'm far from that. I'm always outspoken and bold in whatever the situation may be, but around Jaden I just turn to a puppy within few minutes I don't know why believe me.
yet again unconsciously I looked towards Jaden's direction and our eyes met , he looked at me and my heart melted away I was swept off my feets knowing fully well that this same guy might be playing me , like Vivian like other girls. but then at that moment it didn't matter yes call me a fool I know right. But when his puppy like brown eyes met mine I wouldn't mind being in that same situation as yesterday . but then before I fully approached Ina I caught him smirking again , that really didn't bother me until I caught Scott his best friend smiling at me . what? are they seriously mocking me right now do they really take me for a fool . Those bastards did it again, great ! just great ..... I hadn't gotten over one and then they're doing another those lousy stupid pushover I blame myself for crushing on him. but then who wouldn't?....
..................
AT THE CAFETERIA
I tapped on the table without touching my lunch , trying so hard to figure out how I'm going to at least remove myself from the spot they put Vivian. I'm really popular ,at least to some extent .And I still want to carry my head up height without having to be Jaden's shadow or the talk of the school like most girls. over time it dies down but even the process sucks I really don't want to go through that , my gosh why did I have to be a blabber mouth to Amaya I shouldn't have told her anything..... I should have just kept my feelings to myself like I always have and..... I was interrupted from my thoughts by Ina .
" what's going on in that head of yours " she said
" well it's just that things didn't go as planned instead of embarrassing him I think it just went the opposite I told you how he and Scott smiled at me again" I sighed
" well they just smiled , they didn't put a gun to your head did they?"
"well they did point a gun to my heart , don't you get? they see me as a pushover they actually laughed at me ..... who do they think they are "
" exactly , who are they to get you all worked up uhn "
" can't believe they could be so petty Jaden is a razz guy , a pushover and a masquerade...." at that point I kinda felt Ina was giving me an eye signal... what was that for? anyways I continued blabbing. " he is such a monkey , Jaden is the worst human being on planet earth..... "
" am I"
That voice oh my God I was shocked, was he really.... was he really standing behind me . now I get why Ina was giving me an eye signal I should have picked but no I continued to blabber... Ina why didn't you say something, I couldn't turn back I just faced Ina tongue tied . And at that moment he placed his lunch beside mine and sat right next to me
" what are you doing here " Ina protested for me.
" aren't I allowed here " he replied.... oh dear Jesus I don't like this I thought.
" you should be with your friends, and there are other seats around here"
" well .... he tried to recall yes Ina , relax I'm not going to bite" he grinned.... he then faced me who was trying so hard to compose myself swallowing my heart a billion times from popping out. " you were saying?"
" I wasn't referring to you" I lied bluntly
" hmmm I see, he nodded and still had that seductive and devilish smirk . "anyways .....he brought out an invitation and handed it over to me ..... this is for you, I'm inviting you "
"me? I said perplexed
"yes you, it's Amaya's Birthday this Saturday and we would be hosting an home party and I would love you to be there "
love my foot I said in my mind . "and you can bring your friend along she's invited as well" he stood up and left before we could even give a proper answer.
I looked at Ina who just stared at me with inquisitive eyes , she didn't say a word but I already understood what was on her mind. If we were going to attend or not.... well I don't know what do you think?...
