BEWITCHED BY THE SCHOOL CHARMER
She embodied sensuality and undeniable charm that no man or woman could deny. Whether they were upright or bent, everyone's gaze was pulled to her. Her smile, frown, and every slight movement she made were enough to affect one’s mentality for the whole day. She was the charmer who was appointed and recognized by everyone in the school, whether they were teachers or students. She was that popular. In this charmer's world, there was no such thing as love. Love was a disease that perverted people's minds and led them astray, and she didn't want to live in such a world. But everything changed when he unexpectedly marched into her life, surprising her. Forcing her to break down the barriers she had up for more than two decades. He was the only one who was present. And he wasn't afraid to take what he wanted since he had the means. For him, being in love was a waste of time, and being faithful to one person was not his strong suit. Why bother investing in a single tree when he could own the entire forest? And when he saw her, his life was turned upside down. For him, it was love at first sight. He disliked it at first but eventually came to respect and like it. This sensation was novel to him and seemed unreal. He was completely in love with her, but her defenses were far too high and strong for him to break through. Will this prince charming and playboy from another school be able to captivate and seduce the school charmer? Will she be able to tear down the barriers she had built to allow him entry into her world, or will she continue to keep him at a distance?
CHAPTER 5: DARICA, THE CHARMER
Peach was currently sitting in a classroom, resting in her boyfriend's arms, as she waited for that notification that she had been waiting for over an hour.
As the day was slowly passing and the clock ticking, it wasn't going to be long before every student was called to the main hall for the last meeting of the year.
However, before that happened, she and the others were waiting for that one person to click the Live button and provide every curious person with what the student council or Darica, their school charmer, was up to this time.
"Darling, what do you think those people are up to?" Peach asked after seeing how long she had waited and yet no news.
Even her source had told her that the council's meeting had ended some time ago, so what were those people up to? And where were they at this moment?
Just as she was curious, several people were also curious, and everyone was holding onto their phones.
And with free Wi-Fi provided by the school, everyone with a smartphone was holding onto it tightly, with eyes never leaving the screen.
And among the curious ones, at a certain university, Eastview University, a certain person was also refreshing his Acebook page, waiting anxiously for something.
Seeing this person acting like this, his friends couldn't help but poke each other playfully.
"He is at it again!"
"Hehe, I wonder why he loves seeing this when he knows that his heart will be bleeding every single time those fan girls and boys send a comment?"
"That's what love does to a person."
"Honestly, whenever I think of how he didn't even know about Darica, and yet today, he is like a puppy, I find it very amusing."
"It was a shock to all of us, but I am glad that it happened. Look at him now."
"Hehe, even aunt and uncle are looking forward to meeting Darica."
"Huh, won't that have to wait until Duke wins her heart first?"
"I wonder when that will be. It's been more than a year already. Just how tough is it to woo her?"
"Do you want to try and find out?" Duke, one of the two people being talked about, suddenly asked, glaring deadly at his friends who were making fun of him.
His three friends looked at him without embarrassment and responded shamelessly, "She is not our cup of tea."
"She scares me! Yoh, spare me!"
Their tastes were very different and just because they were friends didn't mean that they had to like the same type of girls, right?
Seeing his friends acting shamelessly again, Duke just rolled his eyes at them before looking at his phone again.
As he was doing that, the Live notification appeared, putting a smile on his face.
His friends seeing that smile, without saying a thing, all took out their phones and skillfully found their way to a famous Acebook page with over one million fans.
"Welcome everyone," Yuka cutely waved at the screen, her big blue eyes swiftly reading every single comment posted with ease.
[Yuka, you look beautiful today!]
[Are you guys swimming today?]
[You look hot in that swimsuit!]
[Can we join?]
[... sent 100 stars.]
[... sent 500 stars.]
Seeing the stars flooding the screen, Yuka inwardly rejoiced and was even more determined to do a good job and milk as many stars as she could from these rich viewers of hers.
"Today we are at the swimming pool and your dear charmer is busy stretching and getting ready for a match with the boys. Do you guys want to see them?" Yuka revealed their location before teasing them.
[We want to see them.]
[….. sent 1000 stars.]
[...sent 50 stars.]
[Send some likes and hearts guys. And don't forget to share. Let's make our dear Yuka happy so that she will show us our charmer.]
With more and more people pointing this out, the screen began to get flooded with comments, likes, and shares.
While this was happening, Duke who had been silently watching began to unceremoniously flood the comment section with gifts.
[DDCA sent 1000 stars.]
[DDCA sent 1000 stars.]
[DDCA sent 1000 stars.]
[DDCA sent 1000 stars.]
The gifts were flowing and seeing this was none other than Yuka who was very familiar with the username.
Seeing this person going crazy after a few minutes of streaming, her naughty side couldn't help but get awakened.
"Thank you, everyone, for your generous gifts and while we are at it, let's welcome our ambassador from Eastview and wish him luck in his pursuit of our charmer," she teasingly said as she started walking towards the three who were done stretching.
"Not wasting anyone else's time, your swimmers are now ready to rock and roll. Are you ready to see them?" Yuka asked in a teasing tone as she stood just a short distance from the three who were now waiting for the match to begin.
[We are ready, Yuka.]
[I beg you, just switch the camera view. I want to start licking my screen.]
[Stop being lecherous already.]
With more comments and gifts coming in, Yuka signaled for the three to get ready.
Mirabel who wasn't participating got ready to officiate the match as well.
Seeing that everything was in order, Yuka finally switched the camera and began to show the three people that everyone was mostly curious about while she enjoyed reading the comments and seeing the numerous gifts flooding the screen as always.
Mirabel holding a whistle like a professional, began to instruct the competitors seriously and under a thousand viewers, the freestyle match began.
Duke on the other side, watched with gritted teeth and clenched fists. His veins were popping as he looked at that seductress that stole his heart and yet had been refusing to give it back.
Darica might not be the type of girl that most guys would go for but for him, she was perfect in every way.
From her hair to her feet, she was his goddess and a woman that he was willing to change for to be with her.
So, whenever he saw her on the screen, flirting openly with so many people and yet refusing to give him a chance to prove himself, his heart would ache.
But at the same time, he also knew that forcing her wasn't the thing to do.
Unlike many girls that would surrender when money is thrown at them or force is used, Darica was the kind of girl that would make a lot of guys tremble with fear.
From the numerous tattoos that turn him on every single time he sees them, to the firm abs that most guys find it hard to get, and to her fighting prowess. She was an all-rounder and the kind that would make men feel inferior.
But for him, it wasn't about that. Since his heart beat for her when he first saw her. Then she was the one for him. And nothing was going to change that.
He was that deep for her and unless he got her, there wouldn't be anyone else.
