Alisha Perry, an average looking seventeen-year-old girl with a very long, natural blonde hair, extremely skinny and paled skin applied a bloody red lipstick on her lips, and checked herself in the mirror before walking out of her room.
"Mom" she called as she walked to the sitting room "I'm going out. I will soon be back.""Okay. Have a nice time."Alisha touched a small box inside her jacket and smiled with all her heart before replying her mother "I will."Today was Alisha's seventeenth birthday. After celebrating her birthday with her only family member who was her mother, she had planned to visit someone later in the evening. But when Alisha stepped out of the house, the weather had been so cold to the extent that she had deliberated whether to postpone what she was planning to do or notNo. She thought. I'm doing it today. And with that thought being fixed into her heart, she walked more determinedly to her destination. Her destination wasn't that far, it was just a twenty minutes journey.Halfway to her destination, her phone vibrated inside her pocket and she hurriedly brought it out. She checked the caller and it was one of her friends whose name was Miranda. Alisha had saved her name as Mindy and had grinned sheepishly when she had saw Mindy's name on her phone screen. Without anymore delay, she picked up the call."Mindy! Mindy!" She said into the phone."Hey." Mindy replied "How are you?""I'm fine.""Hope you got my text in the morning and your present?""Absolutely. Thank you so much. It means so much to me.""It's okay. I'm just glad that you like it. I'm so sorry for not being with you today. You know that I would have excused myself if I could.""I know. You don't have to feel bad" Alisha replied."So, where are you now? I can hear the sound of cars.""Guess." Alisha said with her beautiful smile still on her face."Hmmmmmm" Mindy hummed into the phone for some seconds before giving up "Just tell me. You know that I'm bad at guessing.""Try. I'm giving you a second chance."Mindy hummed again into the phone before giving up "I give up. I don't know.""Okay." Alisha said disappointedly "I'm on my way to Zhang's house.""Zhang?" Mindy questioned as if she had heard the name wrong."Yeah, Zhang."The next second, Mindy shouted horrifically into the phone "Alisha! Don't tell me...!""Yeah. That is what I'm doing. I'm on my way to his house" she replied boldly before smirking "Don't worry, if everything goes well, you will be the first to know.""Alisha, don't do this. For the sake of our friendship." Mindy said sadly."For the sake of our friendship, Mindy, allow me to be happy. Let me have something that my mother was deprived of. I love him and he loves me" Alisha said as she used her left hand to touch the small box that was inside her jacket."Alisha" Mindy called sadly."Mindy, please..."Mindy sighed heavily and said "I hope everything goes well."Alisha smiled when she heard this and said "Thank you.""Alright. We will talk later.""Oh wait" Alisha shouted into the phone because she knew that Mindy was about to hang up the phone."I'm still here." Mindy replied."What about Piaf? I've been trying her number since morning, it's not going through."Piaf was Alisha's second friend. The three of them had been friends since grade 7."I also tried her number. It's unreachable. She might just be out of battery.""I hope that is her excuse." Alisha said sadly. "There was no call nor text message nor present.""She might be busy." Mindy said."Miranda" someone called in the background."Alisha, we will talk later, I have to go now." Mindy said urgently"Okay, bye.""Bye love you""I love you too"After hanging up the phone, Alisha realized that she was just six minutes away from Zhang's apartment and she walked faster.But two minutes after hanging up the phone, her phone buzzed and she brought it out. It was an email and it was from an unknown source. The subject of the message was Zhang, and it body were just six words that infuriated Alisha to the core.ZHANG ISN'T WHO YOU THINK HE IS.The first thing that infuriated Alisha was the fact that the message was from an unknown source and the second thing was the audacity that the crazy- person had to send her such an annoying message."Motherf***ker." she swore as she angrily deleted the message and walked faster. I'm going to prove all of you wrong. She thought as she started climbing the stairs.She touched the small box that was inside her jacket for the last time and smiled to herself as she stood in front of his slightly opened door and was about to open it before a familiar voice stopped her from doing so."When are you going to tell her?" A familiar female voice asked."Give me some more time." a male voice replied."Zhang, I'm done giving you time. Just tell her and let's get this over with."Alisha unconsciously put her hand inside her jacket pocket and squeezed the small beautiful box that she had worked extra hours at a restaurant for the last six months in order to purchase. Just in a second, her world was crumbling in front of her own eyes and she had no idea what to do. Her heartbeat was thumping so loud as if it was about to explode and she had no idea when hot tears started falling down her cheeks."The girl is stupidly in love with me. It's going to ruin her." Zhang said pitifully."She is strong." the familiar female voice replied "I'm going to call her right now with your phone and you're going to tell her. It's either that or you lose me.""Give me some more time, Piaf." Zhang said.Alisha breathe in and out heavily when she heard Piaf's name. She was still finding it hard to believe that one of her best friends who she had always considered her sister was the one inside the room with Kim Zhang, her first love both physically and emotionally.She felt like fainting but she tried to be strong. The only option that she had now was to face her enemies."I can't wait to see her reaction when you tell her that you are no longer interested in her. I'm sure she is going to land in an hospital from the shock." Piaf said mockingly. "It's ringing. The fool will soon be picking up" Piaf added and Alisha imagined Piaf giving Zhang's phone back to him.And lo and behold, Alisha's phone vibrated inside her jacket pocket but instead of picking up the call, she ignored it, wiped away her tears and opened the door."You don't have to waste your airtime." Alisha said as she stepped inside Zhang's room.Zhang and Piaf were both lying on his bed and Piaf head was placed on his chest.Alisha tried to control herself from crying. She wasn't ready to break down in front of them. Most especially Piaf."You can tell me right now." Alisha added."What the...?" Zhang said as he quickly jumped out of his bed shockingly while Piaf blinked her eyes countless of time to confirm what was happening in front of her eyes whether it was real or a dream."Alish..." She called slowly as she sat up and wrapped the blanket around herself."I'm waiting for you to tell me." Alisha said."Alisha, it's not what you're thinking." Zhang said as he was hurriedly putting on his boxer."It's what you're thinking" Piaf who Alisha had no idea that she had gotten out of the bed said. "Zhang doesn't love you."Alisha slowly turned her head and looked at Piaf's direction before saying.
"How did I get to your house?" She asked."Don't you remember what happened?" The guy asked worriedly.Alisha racked her brain for few seconds before talking "ah...not much. I remembered celebrating my birthday and then, I wanted to kill myself""You really don't remember?""I don't know. Everything is blurry in my brain""Do you remember who Zhang is?" The guy worriedly asked."I hope you find it in your heart to forgive me" echoed in her brain and the next second, she angrily disconnected herself from the drip and angrily got out of the bed."Who do you think you're!?' she angrily screamed into the guy's face "Who gives you the permission to save me!?" Tears rolled down uncontrollably from her eyes. "How dare you?""Killing yourself..." The guy started saying but he was cut off by Alisha's angry voice."It's my life! You shouldn't have! How am I suppose to live now! Who gave you the right to save me. You shouldn't have!" Her voice crack
Eric McSmith was a billionaire CEO who died a few months back from heart attack. His company was popular all over the world and it was worth several billionaires of dollars.According to the internet, he was happily married with two kids. With Kelvin McSmith being the eldest and Angelica McSmith being a year younger than him."Can you borrow me your phone?" Alisha who was still processing the fact about who Kelvin was asked."Yeah. Sure" Kelvin said and handed it to her."Do you mind excusing me?"He shrugged before replying "I don't mind" and walked out of the room.Alisha dialled her mother's number when she was sure that he was gone but there was no answer so, she tried again."Hello. Hello. Who is on the line?" her mother said the moment she picked up. Tears rolled down from Alisha's eyes and she slowly wiped it away with the back of her hand."Hello" her mother called again "Who is there?""It's me mom" she replied and bursted into t
Alisha decided not to step out of her house for the whole week because of the incident but on Friday night, someone knocked on her door.She firstly checked out the visitor through the peephole before opening the door because some paparazzi had been trying their best to get a hold of her in the past few days.The visitor was Mindy.Mindy hugged her the moment Alisha opened the door and said "I'm sorry for not being there for you. I'm really sorry. I'm really sorry.""It's okay. I understand you."Mindy had been out of the country for the past ten days for her elder brother's wedding .They let go of each other and Mindy followed Alisha to her room."The moment I saw your message, I was terrified. I tried calling you but your phone was not reachable. So, I called your mom and told her what was going on. You shouldn't have done that. That was the most stupidest thing that I've ever seen you done."Alisha heaved a sigh "I'm sorry. At the time I w
Before entering the club, Mindy passed Alisha a fake ID which looked professionally the same as her normal ID but the only thing that was different was her age. On this ID, she was nineteen years old."How...did..you...?"Mindy winked and smirked at her "Forget about the 'how'. Forget about everything tonight. Let's just rock and roll."The music was buzzing from every angles when they finally entered the club and there were hundreds of people on the dance floor."Come this way!" Mindy screamed into her ear before getting a hold of her hand. And after walking for some minutes, they stopped walking and Mindy screamed into her ear "Sit here! I will soon be back!"Mindy started walking away but before she could be far away, Alisha grabbed her hand and screamed into her ear. "Where are you going!?""To get us some hot drinks! With that inside of you, you can hook up with anybody!"Alisha rolled her eyes. She wasn't there to hook up with anybody and she
Kelvin McSmith and some of his friends had been at the club for few hours. Just drinking and hooking up with the girls. They were at the VVIP section."What about that girl?" Shane, Kelvin's best friend asked. He had been trying to hook Kelvin up with one of the girls since their arrival "She is hot, isn't she?""Yeah, She is but she isn't who I want right now.""I'm done trying to hook you up with one of the girls." Shane said a little bit irritatedly "Get a girl yourself."Kelvin lifted up his wineglass and was about to drink out of it when he spotted the girl that he had been thinking about for the past week walking angrily out of the club. Even with all the make over and everything, she still looked the same to him."What is she doing here?" He thought.He instantly dropped the wineglass and got out of his seat. "I'm coming." he shouted as he walked away."Where exactly are you going to?" Shane asked but Kelvin didn't reply.Kelvin fixed h
The car was as silent as a graveyard as Kelvin was speeding to her house and even though he had so many things to say, he had no idea how to start it. But after deliberating for sometime, he tilted his head and talked."Do you still love him?" His voice broke into Alisha's thought and jerked her back to the reality."Huh?""Do you still love him? Zhang?"Alisha heaved a sigh and looked out of the window. She didn't want to answer that question."It's obvious you still do. He doesn't deserves you.""I know." she replied and tears rolled down her eyes "But I can't help myself. I've always loved him and right now, I can't stop myself from loving him.""Were you at the club because of him?"She wiped her tears away and looked at Kelvin "No. I was there because my friend wanted me to be there. But I wouldn't have come if I had known about him coming""Wow. You're trying to avoid him. Why are you trying to avoid him? He is a douchebag. He shoul
"Take." Kelvin said and handed her his card. He had volunteered again to drive her back to her house, which they were now standing in front "My offer still stands."Alisha said nothing."Call me anytime. I promise you that I'm going to be there for you.""Thank you so much." Alisha replied and walked away from him.Kelvin whistled as he walked back to his car.Alisha checked out the card that Kelvin had given to her and she knew that there was no way that she was going to come into terms with Kelvin's plans.She slowly opened the door and stepped into the house but was forcefully pulled inside the house by an unknown force. She instantly readied herself for operation fight or flight but when deep green eyes stared back at her scared ones, she relaxed."What the heck, Mindy?" She said angrily. Mindy was the one that had pulled her inside.Mindy acted as if she doesn't care and happily sat on a couch "Tell me about it." she said."About wha
