Ayla got to school panting. She was thirty minutes late but luckily for her everyone was too distracted by something to notice,even the guards weren't in their post. There was a commotion in the hall, the students, teachers and even cleaners were all gathered.The hallway looked like a scene from a movie. It transforms into a sea of romance, filled with bouquets of pink and white roses and soft petals scattered everywhere.Ayla couldn't care less about what was happening, although she couldn't lie it wasn't beautiful. She was glad that she hadn't been caught late,that was like torture or death for someone like her who had a perfect attendance since she started Ivy royals.
"Oh no, my locker" her first thought went there, her locker was in the middle of the gathering. She pushed through the crowd of people, occasionally stepping on people's feet. But everyone was too engrossed to care, which worked perfectly for her.
"I can not imagine how he managed to do that" One girl said as she was passing through
"Yeah, I mean this is literally the most strict school ever, he got guts" her friend responded.
"So what I know is a guy did something bizarre but I don't know what or why. God, fuck this guy!" She inwardly cursed while pushing through the crowd.
As she got to her locker, she noticed something weird, people cleared a space for her to pass through. Confusion hit her like a ton of bricks as she made her way forward. Everyone else obviously knew what was going on around here except her.
She got closer to her locker and finally got what they were so excited about, the crowd and everything and she couldn't be more angrier
Her locker had a sticker which said look up. She obviously looked not expecting what was coming. The hallway dimmed down even if it was morning time, large lights flickered from above. It was a sign
"Look outside "
She mentally rolled her eyes and made her way outside with about half the school, everyone equally buzzing about what surprise might be.
"Holy cow, is that a jet"
"No way it is"
"Is this even allowed"
"Who cares that's a freaking jet"
The jet flew right over the school, pink and white colours filling the sky, her favorite colours.
"How did he even kn.." the words stuck in her mouth. Somewhere between the colourful display it formed words.
"Be my girl, Ayla"
Short, simple, not some heartfelt letters or romance like she always wanted. Just a colourful and extravagant display to show he could do it, to prove to everyone that he could get what he wanted. He didn't want to date her; he wanted to let everyone see that he could.
She stormed out of there the anger rising swiftly inside her,
She went to her locker, the thing she wanted to do in the first place. As she opened her locker she was sent flying backwards.
Dozens of chocolates, gifts and even a giant teddy bear came tumbling out. Right in the middle of everything a letter fell out of her locker. She picked it up and read it.
[ I wouldn't stop until you be my girl.
x.o: you already know who this is from]
His arrogance and pride was infuriating, as if he was already sure she would be his girl. She was overwhelmed with the proposal, the glares and stares from everyone that she ran away.
"Run away bride" someone said in the crowd that made everyone laugh. She ran to the bathroom for a quick breath and to calm her nerves. Slowly she started feeling better and calmer. She heard sounds coming from outside and she didn't want to be seen so she hid inside one of the stalls.
Two girls walked in, probably just to touch up their makeup. She felt silly about it and was about to come out but then she heard them saying her name. She paused to listen ,
"I don't know what is special about her," the first girl said, touching up her lipstick in the bathroom mirror. " She isn't even that pretty and basically so flat."
" I bet he is just using her for fun, like a bet" the other girl answered bac.
"What else is there to do with her? She ain't going anything except that smart little head"
The first one spoke again,
"Right, it'll be a good live story, and the nerd and the bad boy, except the nerd, always end up heartbroken." The two of them started laughing like strangled hyenas. It was so awful to hear .
Ayla had enough , she finally came out of the stall. The two girls froze in seeing her
"You know I would have answered the bitch of you right now but I have a hot rich and attractive guy all over me right now. I mean you guys understand right, surely you have someone like that. Bye" and she left there like a boss.
But outside, she really thought about what girls said. He started showing interest in her all of a sudden when a few weeks ago, she was sure he didn't know that she existed.
"More reasons why you can't fall for him or accept him" she warned her heart as she walked to class. She didn't need to warn her heart about Alex, they was another guy doing just that.
..….....
Ayla didn't see Alex throughout the day. He didn't show up to any of their classes and had her a little worried. The day passed in a flash, the principal was angry about the proposal and the field of flowers. Turns out, once everyone started stepping on them they looked less like a movie scene and more like a . The principal was having a field day looking for the person who organized it and how he managed to pull it off without the thousands of cameras in the school detecting him and since she was the recipient she was also the prime suspect although he hasn't called her to his office.
Yet.
The principal was also angry with the teachers and they all got called into his office but the rest no one knows. Someone later heard that they deducted from their bonuses this month. The cleaners were not exempted, they had to clean the flowers and glitters everywhere during recesse period, brutal. Kids were stepping on the floor up and down and no one dared to say anything.
Ayla felt bad, it wasn't her fault but everyone was angry at her and probably hated her after this.
"Alex oh Alex I swear I'm going to kill you when I see you" she cursed out loud when another teacher gave her a stink eye when she was leaving school.
She had just come out of the building and was about heading out when she spotted Kyle close to the gate. She hastened her steps as she got closer to him.
"Ayla" Kyle waved her over but she continued walking as if she didn't hear him. He walked towards her and in no time closed the space between them.
"Hey Ayla, look I know you're mad at me and for whatever reason I'm sorry, please." He begged.
She didn't reply,
"Look, I'm going crazy about all this. You've never been mad at me this long and it's really freaking me out and look I'll do whatever you want. I mean, you want a Porsche, a house in the Bahamas, a birkin an island, anything just please don't hate me." He looked at her with tearful reddened eyes and genuine sincerely that made her heart melt.
"Fine, I'll forgive you but only on one condition"
"Anything you want, just name it"
"Don't interrupt me," she playfully hit him with her bag.
"Owwww, my arm!" he let out a fake dramatic cry.
" Stop whining, it wasn't even that hard. For what I want, just ice cream."
"Ice cream?" He hadn't expected that at all
"Yes, ice cream and wasn't your arm paining you a minute ago."
"Owwww" he held his arm out in fake agony
"It's the other arm" she caught him right in the middle of the act.
"Okay I've been caught" he raised his arms in defeat. "Let's go get your ice cream."
"Alright let's go"
"After you my lady" he said and bowed in a fake British accent.
She giggled as they walked to his car.
" I didn't see you in school today"
"That's because I didn't come, I just wanted to see you. I'm heading out for a few days" He opened the door for her.
"Thank you" she gave a small nod but her face fell immediately she heard he was leaving, she had felt so close to him these last few weeks after….
"It's only for a few days, tell you what when I'm back we can go to that bakery place you love talking about."
"Really?" She asked excitedly.
"Yes really, I promise you and I never break a promise to you, now let's go."
He smiled at her softly with a complex and dark expression as he drove away.
