Chapter 2

Keila's POV

I held my lips It was a good start that night. The night Dwayne kissed me—it's been a long time, but it still hasn't disappeared from my mind. If everything were true, I would be happy now, but it's not. You're just a lie.

Jerks will be jerks. Players will always play, and the victims will just cry. Unfortunately, I'm the damn victim.

Since the night he kissed me, Dwayne has been flirting with me too. He dated me for three weeks, eh? He doesn't flirt with women because he is often flirted with, so I really thought he was serious about me, but it turns out that I was just one of the girls he played with. That's what people like them really are; they are good at pretending and playing. He could be the best actor, but what he did to me was painful, especially now that I love him so much.

Can he blame me for loving him like this?

I liked him for two years. I'm a die-hard fan of his, eh? I have such a crush on him that sometimes I become a stalker. We have known each other for a long time because we are in the same dance group at the university, and his sister Jenelle is my best friend. I have also become closer to their family, especially their father and mother, Uncle Jeydon and Aunt Candice. Because of the number of women he was with, he didn't pay much attention to me before. All he knows is that I am his sister Jenelle's best friend. Anyway, during that time, I fell for him too much.

"Dwayne!!" The women outside screamed. I'm sorry. the pain in their ears from their shouting. All you hear outside the classroom are screams and shouts. "Dwayne, you're so hot!" I immediately put on earphones so I wouldn't hear their irritating voice.

Dwayne even surpassed an actor in his popularity here at school. because he is handsome and a good dancer. I thought, Am I going to leave our group after everything that happened to us yesterday with Dwayne? Come what may, Destiny will tell me where I belong.

When Dwayne stepped into the room, our eyes immediately met. I didn't even see any emotion when he looked at me. I really don't value him, and our relationship was really just a game. Wait, have we really been Maybe for Dwayne, it just doesn't exist.

I looked out the window of the room and sighed. After he fooled me and rejected me in front of the whole school yesterday, I still love him.

Love is really, really stupid.

There are shouts again. My ear started to hurt again. The sound in my earphones was even stronger than the women squealing outside. They are stupid. Dwayne is here; they are still making noise outside. What are they fighting for?

"Kean!!" They shouted.

I removed my earphones and listened carefully to what the girls were shouting outside.

"Kean!" They shouted again. They said Kean. So, it turns out that Dwayne is not the one they are fantasizing about this time. Who is Kean? "We love you, Kean!" They shouted at the same time.  Is he an actor?

I was surprised when the man they were arguing with also entered the room. I was even more surprised when I realized that the man they were confusing and calling Kean was the mysterious man I kissed yesterday. Oh my gosh.

Is he still with everyone?

I'm dead.

He went inside and sat next to Dwayne. We were all silent. It was as if a heavy aura surrounded the whole room. What's up with the two of them? Dwayne immediately stood up from his chair and faced Kean. How badly they look at each other. Do they both know each other?

"Can you? Don't come near me." Dwayne was annoyed. "I don't want to see your face." They all went 'woah'.

Even me. Surprised by Dwayne's behavior. He seems to have a strong hatred for Kean.

"What right do you have to command me?" Kean replied arrogantly. "You're nothing compared to me, Dwayne." I was the one who went 'woah' at what Kean said. I didn't think he was like that.

His face is the boss, so you wouldn't expect him to say those things.

I saw Dwayne's anger in his eyes.

"You're stupid! You're trash!" Dwayne immediately took the collar off Kean's clothes. "You're just a piece of shit!" He shouted and punched Kean. My female classmates screamed.

"Is that all you can do?" Kean stood up and punched Dwayne back. I stood up from where I was sitting and immediately approached them. It's annoying because no one even cares about them. What do my classmates think when they watch two chickens having sex? "Don't try to fight me again because you'll just lose!" He punched Dwayne again, even though he was lying down because of his first punch. I saw Dwayne's face, and there was blood on his lips. "What?! You're still going to fight, right?"

I cannot take it anymore. I can't bear to see Dwayne in pain and hurt.

"Stop!" I will stop, Kean. I immediately approached Dwayne. "Stop it!" I shouted at Kean again as I looked at him evilly. "What is your problem?"

He stopped when he saw me. It was as if he had seen a ghost. He couldn't move where he was standing and just stared at me.

"Keila, don't interfere with us!" Dwayne shouted as he struggled to stand up. "Stay out of this." He disobeyed again.

"But--"

"Stop it! You're not my girlfriend, so don't act like you are!" I feel like there's a big stone hitting me and a hand that seems to be squeezing my heart right now. "Can you? Stop me."

Before my tears started to flow, I immediately grabbed my bag and ran away. While I was running, my schoolmates were looking at me with gossip. 

"The pain.." I whispered to myself as I sat on the grass behind our building. I couldn't stop crying. The second time, Dwayne kicked me out in front of a lot of people. "Fuck this!" I said this while still crying.

Someone lifted my head and immediately wiped my tears. "Stop crying; I'm hurting." I immediately hugged him.

"Cloud. It really hurts."

"Because I told you, stay away from Dwayne. I knew from the beginning that you would be hurt, but nothing; you are stubborn." He said. "Bear the pain; you like it." He added. "Do you want to eat?" He offered. I just shook my head and lay on his lap.

"I'll just sleep here. Don't leave, huh?" He just sighed. "I love you, my twin." He ignored me and just browsed with his iPhone.

I think I fell asleep for a few hours, but when I woke up, Cloud was gone, and Jenelle was by my side. My good twin always leaves me alone.

Jenelle immediately placed her iPhone in front of me. I looked at what was there. Facebook page of Bella, There is a page of gossiper in the university. Gossip girl wanna be.

I was surprised by the photo I saw. Here is my photo taken while Kean was kissing me yesterday. And what the hell?

"What nonsense is this?" I screamed.

Kean Marco and Keila Mendoza are now officially dating.

bitch please.

"It's you, but you don't even tell me. It's like you haven't been my best friend for two years. I hate you." Jenelle grumbled.

I stopped and thought about the name Kean Marco. He was familiar, and I felt like I knew who he was. He is the famous vocalist for Sky Light. He is famous. Yes, he's famous, and I'm really dead. Dead, double dead. It's really sh*t.

"It's a mess I came into." I whispered to myself. "Of all the men I would meet at that time, why him? Of all the people who I kiss, why him?" I just sighed. Fate really likes to play with me.

"Do you know that Kean has more fan girls than my big brother? What are you thinking?"

"I just ordered him to kiss me to save me from embarrassment yesterday, but I don't know him, and I didn't know he was famous." We both held our breath.

"Now you know," she added.

"Yes, I know, and I'm freaking dead." More people will be angry with me again because of that, Kean. What else do I care about? Taylor Swift said haters are going to hate. "It's annoying. You know I'm still brokenhearted, and then another problem comes?" Jenelle held my hand.

"Sorry for what my brother  did. I hate him for breaking your heart. I'm not talking to him, huh?" She hugged me.

"You don't need to apologize to me. Almost all of you told me about Dwayne being a player, but I didn't listen."

"When you love, you listen to nothing but your heart."

"My heart is stupid." I couldn't do anything else at that point but cry.

Jenelle immediately wiped my tears. "Don't worry, Marion and I are just here. Everything is going to be okay. okay?"

"Thank you, best friend." I also hugged her back. "Can you join me for a drink? Please, just now again. I need to unwind."

"I can't right now. Dad and I are going to see Uncle Troy at the cemetery." I looked at my phone; it's 26 today.

"Yes, by the way, today is his death anniversary."

How is Marion? He was just a child when his mother, Jaycee, died. Fortunately, he has a mommy now, Tiffany.

"I'm sorry, best; I can't be with you anymore. Marion is already at the cemetery with her mom, so she can't be there either. We'll be back next time. Promise." I nodded and said goodbye to her.

I went alone to Padis, next to the sea, again. I let myself cry and cry. No one knows me here. My gossipy schoolmates are gone. I can cry as much as I want.

It's still really painful. After all the bad things Dwayne did to me, I still love him. Even though our relationship only lasted for a week, that didn't stop me from loving him completely. Everything he showed me then seemed really true. He really made me feel that he loved me, but it was all just a show. I want to be angry and annoyed with him, but I can't because I still love him.

Too much love will kill you, really.

When you fall in love, it's like you're under a spell and will do anything for love. Even if you get hurt.

"It turns out that one week of love can really happen. Damn it." I whispered to myself and finished the third beer I had.

I heard again the beautiful voice of the strange vocalist that I heard when I first came here. I feel like I'm flying again. It's nice to hear his voice, and I feel relieved because of him. I can't even see his face because of the cap he's wearing.

I've had seven bottles of beer, but I still feel the pain. I ordered two more bottles, risking losing them if I drank any more. While I was drinking my eight bottles of beer, the mysterious vocalist, whose face I still can't see because of the cap he was wearing, came down from the stage.

I didn't even touch my lips to the bottle I was holding because the mysterious vocalist stopped me.

"Stop drinking." He was still holding my arm. "You're drunk." I removed his hand from my arm.

"Who are you? What do you care about me?" I said I was annoyed.

He removed the cap he was wearing, and I was literally stunned. I couldn't believe it was him. The world is so small. Destiny is playing with me again.

"I'm the only guy you kissed." He winked at me, and I seemed to lose all my drunkenness. "It's nice to meet you for the third time, Keila Mendoza."

The mysterious vocalist who saved me then is the same mysterious man who saved me yesterday. And he is Kean Marco.

Dear fate, stop playing with me; you are no longer funny.
