Chapitre 2: 02: Cassidy's list of Perfect Guy
Winter is coming and the cold breeze of air touches on my skin. I was sitting in the shade of a tree far away from the students that were roaming around the Beverly Hills Academy together with their friends.
Unlike other students, I didn't dare to make friends here. I distant myself from them because of the prophecy four years ago. I know people will make fun of me if they know that I believe in prophecy but it's no harm if I do. My parents were living proof that prophecies are real.
A girl was rushing in the hallway when she suddenly tripped on her foot and drop all of the things she was holding on the ground. No one in the hallway tried to help her except for one guy. It was Bruce, one of their Student Academy Officers, who help her pick up her things. I smiled when I saw that he offer to accompany her on her way. I open my book and add his name to my list of the perfect guy.
I have been doing this since I reached 7th grade. I was observing all the guys here which is perfect to deserve my first dance. And Bruce was not an exemption for that. He wasn't just a kind guy and also a responsible student officer in their academy and he was on the fifth guy on her list.
I nearly shouted when someone grab her book in my hand. I stood up and my mouth gape when I saw that it was Liam who grab my book from me.
"Hey! Give me back my book, will you!" I shouted and tried to reach my book from him.
He runs away from me so that he could take a chance to peek at my book. "What was this?" he asked and showed me all the names that I wrote. My eyes rolled because I grabbed it from him.
"List of the perfect guy," he said under his breath. "Are you still believing in Madam Lesly's prophecy? I told you that was fake."
I mocked what he said and hit him with my book. "You're degrading Madam Lesly's prophecy. If Momma heard this, I'll make sure to tell your mom to ground you," I warned him.
"Okay, fine. Real if it is real." He raised his both hands as he surrender at my warning. "But I somehow hurt when I didn't see my name on the list. Am I not a perfect guy?" He acted like he was in pain and grabbed the right part of his chest while making fake sobs.
I can't help but roll my eyes at him. I did mention that I don't make friends here but unluckily I can't escape this one. He was the only guy that can get close to me. How can I not be with him if he was just one meter away from my residency?
"You are far away from a perfect guy, Liam. Remember...you have just dumped an innocent girl who was just expressing her affection for you right in front of my face," I said in detail while tilting my head left to right.
"O' please, Cass. It's better than playing her feelings," he explained but not enough to convince me.
I tossed my bag at him and he immediately caught it with both hands. I started to walk and I feel him walk behind my back. This is always the scenario between us. Liam will fetch me at my favorite spot and will take my things until we reached our house. We've been used to this kind of setup since my parents and his mother liked to see us together. As if I like to be with this annoying high schoolboy.
We're on our way out of the academy but the screams and squeals, while we're walking in the hallway almost, broke my eardrums. I had to close my fist just to stop myself from yelling at the girls who were going insane over Liam. Well... I can't blame them. Liam has a charm that can make girls go crazy for him to even at a young age. I can't deny that he has a handsome face and taller height He seems to like the attention that he gets from them but not me since I need to walk with him every after our class.
"I'm not still enough to get on the list?" he asked, putting a small distance from both of us so that he could whisper on my ears.
It didn't get out of my sight the sharp stares of the girls when they saw him almost leaned his face over my shoulder. I pushed his face away from me and get my bag at him.
"No, because you're giving me lots of death stares from your fangirls. So I suggest that you should put a long, long-distance from me to give me a long, long life," I said while making a long line with my hands and moving my hands to tell him not to stick with me. I raised my hand and pointed it to his fangirls. "You can now have him, girls. First-come first-serve basis. Just don't bite him."
I slowly walk backward and like a cue, all the girls run towards him and me, walking out on the scene so that I will not be involved in the chaos. I could hear Liam screaming my name while he was crowded by his fans. I was busy making fun of him when I suddenly bumped into someone's body at my back. I closed my eyes and wait for my body to land on the ground when a pair of arms suddenly stopped me from falling. I slowly opened my eyes and I was holding my breath when a handsome guy appeared in my sight.
"Are you okay?" he asked, looking at me with such worry.
I couldn't open my mouth to speak a word and just nodded at him. My eyes were still on him while he's helping me to stand up. He also fixes my bag before he walks away from me.
"Wait!" I shouted. He stops and looks back at me. "What's your name?" I asked.
His eyebrow met while looking at me, wondering. "I'm Franco," he answered.
I smiled at him and waved my hand. "Nice meeting you, Franco and thank you," I gladly said before turning my back at him. I get my book and pen inside my bag and start writing his name on the list. He was nice and handsome too. I guess he deserved to be on the list. So he was officially the sixth guy on the list.
"Hey! That's unfair. Are you putting that guy's name on the list?" I heard Liam say so I immediately put back my things in my bag and look at him.
"Oh? Are they done with you?" I asked innocently like I didn't do something.
He mocked what I say and make face at me. I laughed when I saw some kiss mark on his cheeks which made by his fangirls. He likes the attention earlier but now he looked like he has been massacred by thousands of gorillas and he can't smile anymore. He grabbed my bag and hang it on his shoulder.
"Don't tell me you put his name on the list."
"Then I won't tell you," I said and walk faster to tease him.
