"Wouldn't you like to kiss her? Wouldn't you like to dance with her? Turn the lights off I'm falling in love."
~The Brobecks
I watched her as she talked to her friend, who might I add is a fucking bitch. I could see the strain in her smile and the exhaustion in her eyes. She's been in most of my classes for a while now and I've seen her hang out with Georgia and her pack of bitches. She masked it well but I could see that she wanted anything but to be around them and I couldn't understand why. The more I observed her, the more she invaded my thoughts. I didn't want to be that creepy stalker guy but when she was in the room, I couldn't take my eyes off of her.
Something about her, everything about her, seemed to pull me to her like I couldn't stop the attraction. I was mad at myself. I was mad because I was obsessed with one of those girls who laughed at everything you said, who wouldn't give you the time of day unless you were in the popular group, the ones who dated the co captain of the soccer team. So I began to push away and completely ignore the seemingly growing attraction for her and made myself resent her.
But of course, when I was left alone in a classroom with her, with no one around, I couldn't help but take the opportunity.
"You are so bipolar." I let the words slip out of mouth before I could stop it. I knew I should've tried a better approach but somehow, I knew that this would get under her skin. I wanted so desperately to see what was behind the happy mask she had permanently put on. A part of me deep inside wanted to see, and was hoping desperately, if she was different from those other popular girls
She looked startled at my sudden appearance and stared at me for a brief second before plastering on that infuriating fake smile.
"What do you mean?" She asked me and I could tell that she was forcing her words. But she wasn't giving up on her stupid fake act. And I wasn't going to give up on trying to get through it.
I thought for a moment what would really make her snap. What would hit a nerve and make her lose control.
And that's when it hit me.
"You're all disgustingly sweet when someone's around but the second you're alone, it's like you're a totally different person." I said with a smirk. And now for the grand finale."Although I didn't expect anything less since all people like you are fake."
I watched in satisfaction as her smile dropped and her jaw slackened as she stared at me with burning anger in her eyes.
"You're so rude! You don't even know anything about me so don't think you have a right to say that, Hunter." She snapped at me. I couldn't help but smile widely at the reaction I had gotten from her because I had done it. I had broken her façade and got a glimpse of her true self. And I was betting a hundred bucks that I was the only person who has seen it.
Wait, hold up. She knew my name? She knew my name? I thought she never even knew I existed until now.
"You know my name?" I asked, desperately trying not to show the feeling of happiness growing in my chest.
She looked annoyed by my question, eyes, "Really? Of course I do, I'm not stupid. You're in almost all of my classes."
"You're not stupid? One could argue against that." I replied back. I felt as if I was pushing the boundaries a little but I wanted to see her, I wanted to see her for who she really was.
Her face was now growing a nice shade of pink and she looked as if she wanted to throw her desk at me.
"At least I'm not some emo loner like you!" She shouted, pointing an accusing finger at my shirt. Of course a girl like her would go for an insult like that.
"My lack of a social life has nothing to do with my music taste so I suggest you shut up, Katie." I snapped at her as I picked up my bag and left her alone in the classroom.
On the way home I couldn't help but smile to myself. If I couldn't get her to notice me by being nice, I was just going to have to get her to notice me by getting on her nerves and have her hate me instead.
