Chapter 15

     Cross peers at me, "So, what's your answer?" I must be dreaming I tell myself. How can this happen? First Fleano and now this? I stare at the ground, "Um, I-I don't know."  Cross sighs, crossing his arms, "I guess this is too sudden. A confession out of no where, but I'm not lying Angel."  Cross bends down trying to see my face. I turn away, embarrassed to have him staring at me. "Well...you don't have to answer now. I just want you to know how I feel about you. Think about it."  Before walking away he gives me a wink. Ever since I applied for the "Love Game" all sorts of impossible things have been happening to my life. Sometimes I'm afraid it's all an act. Once this game is over, I'll find out I've been tricked and made a laughingstock. I'm so scared of that possibility because it seems just like something Leo would do. He's rich enough to do it.

"Angel!" Fleano skips down the hall towards me, grinning foolishly. "How are you doing today?" "Fine," I whisper. Behind Fleano is Leo. He is ten feet away, but the look he gives me from across the hall is chilling. Leo is really pissed. Lately, with Melina, Fleano, and Cline defying him he has been unable to do anything to me. I feel relieved, but at the same time I'm deathly scared. Leo is a nightmare that won't go away. "Let us go on a date!" Fleano interrupts my thoughts.

I stare at him in surprise, what was he saying. My brain is unable to process his words. Fleano smiles, "Do you want to?" "D-date?" I ask, very flustered. "B-but we're not going out!"  Fleano gives a carefree laugh, "It is just for fun." He suddenly grabs my hands, a serious expression on his face, "I will not force you to do something you would not like." Fleano's sincerity touches my heart. I feel my heart melt a little bit. In all my life, no one has ever cared about what I wanted. I pull on my hood to hide my face. Even if this is just a dream, an illusion. Just once, is it okay for me to be a little selfish? My face turns red as I answer, "Okay."

    I glare at Scar. How dare she betray me. Did she think she was free of me just because Melina and that pink haired idiot were protecting her? I watch the two of them in the hallway. I want to go over there right now and punch that pink haired idiot in the face and beat Scar up for ignoring me, but I can't. That stupid letter. If it wasn't for the threat I would have done something by now. Just watching the two of them flirt is annoying me to the max. Wait a little longer Scar. Once I find the Heartbreaker I'm coming for you.
