The Bodyguard

Chapter Ten: Old And New Rivals

"Sahara and... Sophie." Ran said, when he said Sophie name, he became colder. I put my hand at Ran's shoulder and shook my head, telling him it's not worth it. He nodded his head.

"It's been a while Sahara, Sophie, what brought you here?" I asked.

"We want to win the skating competition of course!" Sahara said.

If you're asking who's Sophie and Sahara are, well, I'll tell you. Sophie is Ran ex-girlfriend, she only dating Ran because he was the most popular boy in our old school and an SA scholar student. After my father passed away and we became broke, she dumped him. Sophie has short redish brown hair with straight bangs, and sharp hazel eyes.

And Sahara is my friendly rival, we go back since kindergarten, she used to be the pretty idol girl that all the boys likes and I used to be the tomboy that all the girls likes. Both of us has a different lifestyle, but there was one thing in common, both of us loved challenging the other. Sahara has blonde curly haircut that reached to her shoulder and green eyes, in short she's a beauty.

"I haven't seen you in while, where have you been? I really missed challenging you." Sahara said.

"The feeling mutual, I was busy doing some stuff." I said and both of us smirked at each other. "So do want to have a challenge?"

"Oh yeah." Sahara said.

"How about a race from here to that tree." I said and pointed there.

"Let's go. Ran, like always count for us." Sahara said.

"No way, no, no, no challenges today, we have a competition we need to prepare for." Ran said and dragged me away from Sahara.

"Sorry Sahara, challenge you later." I said and she smiled at me.

"I'll be waiting." Sahara said and waved her hand.

"Hey what's your problem, can't I have a--" I stopped mid sentence when I saw the pain in Ran's eyes. Oh right, I forgot about Sophie, she's Sahara's best friend. "I'm sorry."

"Yeah, you should!" Ran said. He let go of me and he was in the verge of crying. I quickly hugged him not letting anyone see him. Ran you always act tough, but I know you are just a crybaby. "Stupid, you know how much I hate rivals."

"I know, I'm sorry, come on." I said. Ran went to check his skateboard and I wondered around, suddenly I bump into someone and fell at the ground.

"I'm sorry." The one I bumped to said.

"No, it's my fault, I didn't saw in front of me." I said, I looked up and gasped and he did too.

"It's you... From the dance." Len said. I take it back, I can't face him. I didn't put any makeup, so how did he know? I stood up and ran away. "Wait!"

"No!" I shouted and kept running. He ran after me and grabbed my arm.

"I said wait!" Len said.

"No, let me go!" I shouted at him trying to resist him.

"I won't let go, it was you in the dance, wasn't it?" Len said. I stopped resisting and blushed.

"A-And what if?" I asked. He hugged me tightly. "L-Len?"

"I was searching for you, I fell in love with you, I can't get you out from my mind." Len said and pulled away and looked deeply in my eyes. I was speechless. "What's your name?"

"R-Rina." I said my name as if I was possessed by his eyes.

"Rina, what a beautiful name." Len said, I blushed and looked at the ground. He lift my chin with his finger, suddenly I felt my breath stuck in my throat and my heart started to beat fast. Oh no! I'm in love with him too, but I can't, he's my master, my friend and relationships are forbidden, what if I messed up? Suddenly Len kissed me several times. Every kiss make me hard to breathe. I wanted to push him away, but I was too weak to do anything.
