I Felt Pain

Victoria's POV

I was turning around on my bed, but I couldn't sleep at all, and I hate to think that it was because of Oliver. I know I hate him so much and I couldn't believe that I felt so happy when I heard him say I am beautiful and I couldn't stop thinking about it. It was stupid of me to feel this way because I could tell that he would make everything to make me so angry with him. I only met him this morning, yet he already managed to wreck my reputation by kissing me in front of everyone. And for that, I will make sure Oliver Prize will pay for what he has done to me.

And since I couldn't fall asleep, I got up from my bed and got my book, and started rereading my lesson for tomorrow until I could no longer keep my eyes open. The following morning I was awakened by a series of knocks on my door, and I hated the person outside my door because he disturbed me in my sleep. After all, my alarm clock is still off, meaning I still have minutes to stay on my bed. I didn't get up to open my door, but the knocking continued, and I hated Art for doing this because he was the only one who had the guts to wake me up from my sleep.

"What do you want, Art?" I asked, and I couldn't hide my irritation, and my eyes widened when I realized it wasn't our Butler at all, but the only person who had the guts to ruin my day, Oliver Prize.

"Ms. Victoria, your father asked me to drive you to school starting today, and I just want to inform you we are leaving in ten minutes and I will leave you if you are not ready by then; I couldn't believe you are still wearing your nightgown when you have classes to attend to, we will be late if you will not move faster." He declared, and I couldn't believe my dad would do this to me, and before I could answer Oliver, he had already left me.

I felt so angry with my dad for doing all this to me. I walked to my bed to pick up my phone to call my father, but I screamed when I saw the time on my clock, I was very late with my usual schedule, and I wondered what happened to my alarm why it didn't buzz. I ran to the shower, and I was horrified when I realized I was only wearing my nightgown; how could I be stupid for not covering myself with my robe before opening the door and meeting Oliver, but I didn't have time to think about it now that I will be late for my first period.

I realized ever since Oliver Prize came into the city, he made my life a living hell, and I wonder if he also sabotaged my alarm clock either, but he couldn't be someone who has the magic to do such kind of scheme to me. I made the quickest shower in history, and I got out of my room without putting anything on my face. The towel still wrapped around my hair as I ran towards the car. He was true to himself, the moment I got inside the vehicle, he drove away from our mansion fast before I could even fasten my seatbelt, and I wondered what his problem was, and I hated that he smelled so good that I wanted to lean my body so I can sniff him.

What?? I couldn't believe I would be thinking something like this towards my number one enemy. I wanted him to disappear from our house to have a normal life again, free from chaos, and I can't think straight since I can't deny his proximity is giving me a different kind of thrill, and I want to stop my foolishness.

"Do you have a death wish, Mr. Prize? I still want to live long enough to see my grandchildren running on the fields." I said, and he looked at me sideways before speaking to me.

"You don't need to worry, Ms. Winner, I am only doing this for you, and I wanted to be in the academy because I don't feel comfortable being in the same space with you. Besides, I don't want the girls to think we are an item because I don't want my name to be associated with yours." He coldly said that made my blood boil with anger.

"I already told you, Prize, I don't need an arrogant bastard like you, and don't worry, I will call my dad later and beg him to let Jason drives me. I don't want you to be my driver as well because I don't know if I am still alive by my birthday if you will continue to be my driver ." I said as I looked at outside my window, and I didn't want to look at him because I felt so hurt with his words, and I have already seen her with Keisha, and I am sure she already captured Oliver Prize, well, at least for the first time, she was his first choice.

I know why Keisha hated me. It was because all the boys at the academy had a crush on me, and I was not bragging. All the boys on the football team, including the hot quarterback Tim, were crazy about me, and Keisha was always the second choice. I know she is celebrating right now, knowing Oliver Prize was crazy about her, and for the first time, I felt jealous of Keisha because this is the first time I felt this way towards a boy, and she got him.

Lucky for her, and even if I like Oliver, I will never go down to Keisha's level, who always gave the first hint, and I wonder if she did the same with Oliver after witnessing our hot make-out session after our mathematics class. I was shocked when we stopped, and when I turned my head to his side, he had already gotten out of the car, and I realized we had stopped in front of a doughnut house, and I realized he must be hungry. I hated him because he never asked me if I was hungry too, and I was sulking by the time he got back with a box of doughnuts and coffees in his hand, and I grimaced when I realized he had bought something for his girl.

"I think we can eat here; just make sure you can eat your doughnut fast." He said as he handed me the box and the coffee, and I hesitated.

"Come on, Victoria, I know you always eat breakfast, and don't worry, that is not coffee. I also know you love hot chocolate." He said, and I felt guilty for scowling at him, and I took the box and my hot choco from him, and I can't explain the sparks that I felt the moment his skin brushed mine, and this is the first time I felt this way. I have read it from the books, and I have waited for so long to experience this kind of feeling, and I never thought I would feel it for the first time to someone who has infuriated me since the first time we met.

"Thank you," I mumbled my thanks as he started eating his meal.

We eat in silence while I can hear the rapid beating of my heart; how could he be so cold and sweet at the same time? And I know this is also the first time a guy bought something for me. Well, I never let anyone pay for my snack either since I turned down anything they give me, for I am afraid if they put something on it. I know it was crazy, but my dad reminds me constantly not to trust anyone.

And I wonder why I can't trust even my classmates, and that is why I find it hard to trust someone, and now Oliver came. My father trusted him. He could be the right guy for me, but I know we both hated each other, and I think my anger towards him is stronger than the attraction I felt, and I had to guard my heart if I wanted to win over Oliver. I could tell he would do everything he could to make my senior year a living hell.

We were both silent for the rest of the ride. The moment we arrived at the academy's parking lot, I could see the eyes of all our classmates were fixed on my car because they always waited for me in the parking lot. I felt horrified what would be their reaction the moment they saw Oliver get out of my car. I can feel my entire face blush as I feel the excitement that they think we are a couple. I hated myself for thinking of the possibility of dating Oliver, and I was so afraid if I couldn't control myself, and I will throw myself at him. I needed to do something about my attraction towards Oliver, and I had to stop thinking about him. But I can't deny I am enjoying having him inside my car, and I know he can feel it too.

I got frustrated when he climbed out of the car without saying anything to me, and I became more devastated when I saw Keisha run towards him. And she kissed him on the lips, and they were kissing in front of our fellow students in our academy; and for the first time, I felt a pain in my heart, and I realized I was hurting because of a boy.
