Liar Liar...


She found him to be arrogant and cocky… one of those guys you would try to avoid while walking down the street…
Apparently he could have any girl he set his eyes on whether the girl was attracted to him was beside the point.
He would look at her occasionally and hold her gaze…
Oh how stubborn she was… she wouldn’t look away unless he did it first.
Were they playing games from the start? Were they both knowingly preparing to become more than just strangers?
He was a lion eyeing his prey and just as a lion it was in his nature to go in for the kill

Stranger: what’s your name?

She looks up from her book… stares at him, trying so hard to keep her face from turning red…
Could he see right through her cuz the moment she looked at him for what seemed like an hour he smiled… that charming crooked smile and repeated his question this time coming closer to her and barely whispering…

Stranger: you know… I will find out your name whether you want me to or not I mean we do go to the same school, cant be that hard now can it?
Dreamer: well then… no point in you asking me…
She gave him a mocking smile and turned back to her book hoping to God he would walk away immediately.
She took a deep breath and pretended to be reading her book, just in case he was still standing there…
Was he still looking? Damn it… I should have let my hair down today… it always looked better bouncing around my shoulders… is my eyeliner smudged? I should have added more lip gloss when I went to the bathroom…
Why did she care so much?
Did it really matter to her how she looked to him?
She went home that day thinking about him with a shameful smile on her face…

The phone rings… she looks at his name and the smile fades but the shame stayed with her all day… she didn’t pick up… she didn’t pick up for the next 3 days…

Where have you been I’ve missed you he said… sounding concerned and anxious
I’ve been around… been busy with school work really… its killing me… you know being a senior and all she so calmly lied.
When did she become such a good liar? Yeah well… everyone is capable of lying as long as they have something they want to hide.

When was it a crime to be attracted to someone? She wasn’t married…
Hell… she wasn’t even engaged…
She wasn’t doing anything wrong… she wasn’t hurting anybody…
Or was she?
