FINAL.

PREVIOUS...

It was unexpected.

It was unnoticed.

I never could have thought.

The Ice princess melted…

And she melted, hard.  

“You look beautiful!” Nath exclaimed as she clasped her hands together, adoring me in my overly fit tube dress that made me look a bit unnecessary as usual.

“I look like an over-grown 12 year old with this, Nath.” I sarcastically commented, scanning myself on the tall mirror. I looked decent. But not decent enough for my taste. She picked this dress. She thinks I’ll look like a goddess in this—Which I barely agreed to.

“No, you look absolutely heavenly, Elle.” Someone from the back of the room. It was unmistakably the alleged bestfriend of Winter.

“Ugh, don’t go and spoil the mood in here, Alex. Go and find some other people to bother!” Nath shooed him away but he dodged it.

“Again, I’m not talking to you, Nathalie. I’m talking to this lovely being with you…” he gestured his hand towards me. “May I?” he added as I nodded, flustered by his words and his actions.

“No need.” I told him, when he was about to lace his arm with mine but instead, I laced mine with Nath’s and I could only snicker as Nath stuck her tongue out at him, walking our way out of the room.

But as the events occur on the dance floor, it went by so swiftly.

Him, walking towards us.

Him, asking for her hand.

Him, dancing with her.

And the worst thing was I could only watch.

I hate the way you walk, I hate the way you talk, I hate the way you look at me…

I hate it very much.

I hate the way you smile, I hate those big brown eyes, cause I know they’re not for me…

I hate it to the core.

Cause we can never be more than friends and it hurts me everytime I close my eyes, all I see is you…

It was never mine in the first place.

Her puzzled expression as she dances with him… It was priceless. Humor? Have I defined humor? Well, its because I’m so stupid. I feel so stupid. So, full of myself. So, ashamed that I fell for a trick.

A trick that can never be untold nor undone.

I’m hopeless.

Tear by tear, it starts to rain down from my eyes, Nath’s gaze never left mine as I looked away and wiped my tears to run away from her.

From him.

From all of them.

From my stupidity.

From my humiliation.

It was all just a silly little stupid trick. A trick of charm and magnet that draws my heart to him.

I guess Happily Ever Afters only does go with movies, and never in real life.

I promise…

He’s the first.

And will be the last of the reasons my heart burned.

The ice that once melted will build up around me again.

All because of this.

My own stupidity.
