"Who's that girl, huh, ?" you almost shouted as you struggled to stop the tears from falling.

"I don't know her, , believe me, please" he insisted and tries to touch you, but you always back away.

"Then, why are you kissing her????" you surrender and the tears started to flow freely.

"I didn't�I�Look, I didn't kiss her -"

"DON'T F***ING LIE TO ME!!! I SAW YOU KISSED HER!!!"

"OK FINE, I KISSED HER. GOD! YOU HAPPY NOW?!" he shouted back at you.

You didn't believe what you just heard. You were expecting him to deny it but he admitted his mistake and this time you don't know what to say. After a few minutes of uncomfortable silence, you wiped your tears and look in the eye. "We really are over, !" and you left.

"FINE, DON'T COME BEGGING ME TO TAKE YOU BACK!!!" he shouted towards your direction as his tears started to fall. He leaned back on the wall and slowly sat on the floor and began crying uncontrollably.

When you reached home, your mom was waiting for you. She tried to greet you, but you didn't notice her. Instead, you rushed upstairs, lock yourself in your room, and cried all night.

You were reminiscing the moments you had with , both the good and the bad. You remember the first time you met him, the first time you had a fight, the first time he kissed you�the first time you fell in love. At first you thought that it was meant to happen because the two of you are the most popular people in school; was the quarterback in the football team and you were the head cheerleader, but as months passed by, you knew that it wasn't just a popular thing, you were falling for him deeply and so was he.

You smiled softly upon remembering these things and with that you fall asleep.

*~*~*~*~*~*

The next day, you didn't feel like going to school, but your mom made you to. Your eyes were puffy due to crying so you covered it with sunglasses. Your girl friends picked you up and they helped you get over . When you got to school, you saw flirting with another girl. You wanted to cry but you decided to stay strong. Thankfully your friends are there to help you. saw you and instantly felt guilty. He wanted to hold you tight and apologized but his pride got in the way so he just stayed there, pretending not to see you.

Morning went pretty normal except for the looks of pity you got in the hallway and holding hands with the girl he was flirting with earlier. Lunch came and you were seated in your usual table with 2 of your mates, and , when , your best friend, came running to you.

"Oh my god, I have a very brilliant idea!" she was breathing heavily. You looked at her curiously as she drank her water. She finally calmed down and made herself feel comfortable before she continued. "Ok, is over you right?" you frowned and nodded slowly. "Ok, so let's find you a guy and made him feel jealous" she smiled and waited for your reaction.

"I, I can't. I'm still not over him" you tried to reason out.

"I know that, it's just a scam. Pretend you're really over him and go out with another guy."

You finally understand what she was saying and you finally smile. "And then he is so gonna beg me to take him back�"

"And you will live happily again." finished for you. The four of you suddenly giggled and you finally felt better.

"But, wait, how will we find a guy? You know, who is willing to be used," thought out of the blue. You stopped laughing and looked at .

"Right, I haven't thought of that!" confessed, "I just can't find a good-looking guy who's not in the, you know, football team."

felt bad for you, "So??? We'll find a guy. Don't worry, "

"Thanks, you guys" you tried to smile and they all hugged you.

"We're always here for you!" said comfortingly.

*~*~*~*~*~*

After school, you were in the library with your friends. The four of you were thinking who would be the perfect guy for you to make jealous. The 3 of them were arguing when you noticed a guy walked in the library. He was tall, about , hair, and fairly built. You were staring at him for too long when noticed you weren't listening to them. She looked at you and then followed your gaze.

"I think found the lucky guy!" nudged your arm and you finally came back to your senses.

"Huh? What???" you finally looked at them.

"Oh my god, who is he, ?" asked excitedly.

"What are you talking about?" you didn't know what they were talking about.

"That guy over there" pointed at the guy you were staring at earlier. and looked at him and then back at you.

"What? No! He's�I'm just -" you blushed slightly.

" ?! Are you kidding us?!?" whispered to you. You looked at them questioningly.

"Don't you know that he spent his last summer in jail???" provided you. "Word is, he beat up two guys without any reason."

"Yeah" nodded, "I think he's gone crazy eversince broke up with him!"

"Okay, who is this girl?" asked, interested.

"She is the love of his life for years and then one day last summer, BAM, she doesn't want him anymore!"

"Really? Must've been hard for him to accept it" you felt sorry for him.

"I know, but after that, he was always angry, you know, let his anger out and then beat people up that's why he was in jail" informed you both.

"Ok should he be in jail now? What is he doing here in school?" did not believe their story.

"Duh, because of bail!" they both answered in unison.

You leaned back on the chair and looked at the man again. He suddenly tilts his head towards you and you suddenly look down. When you look up, he already left. You frowned but you decided to follow him. "Hey, you guys, I think I'm gonna head home. Mom's waiting for me" you stood up.

"Oh, ok. Want us to drive you home?" offered.

"No, thanks, I wanna walk"

"Ok, we're going to hang out here for a while, you know, look for a guy for you" winked at you and you just smiled.

"Ok, thanks bye!" and with that you hurriedly left.

*~*~*~*~*~*

"Hey, you bad guy!" you shouted as you tried to catch with .

He stopped walking and looked at you incredulously. "You talking to me?"

"Yeah, duh!" you said out of breath.

"I don't have the time! Leave me alone!" and he continued walking.

"Where are you going?" you asked as you trail closely behind him.

"Home" he answered monotonously.

"Can I walk with you?" you hesitated.

He stopped walking again and gawked at you disbelievingly. He was about to say something but instead, he continued walking fast. You followed him again. While you were walking, you keep on glancing at him and you can't help but smile whenever he furrowed his eyebrows when he feels you're looking at him.

"Isn't this a nice day?" you tried to make a conversation. He didn't reply. "Do you think it's gonna rain?" Still, he didn't answer. "So where's ?" you covered your mouth when you realized what you just said. He abruptly stopped walking and you saw anger in his eyes. "Um, I didn't mean to -"

"Leave me alone!" he gripped his hand tightly.

"You want back, right?" you tried to hide the fear inside you.

"I said leave me alone!"

"I will not leave until you answer me!" you hold your ground firmly.

He suddenly grabbed you by the arm, "What's in it for you?"

You grinned and answered him straightforwardly, "I want my boyfriend back and you want back."

He released you and resumed to walking. "So you're saying we're going to use each other?"

You walk beside him, "Yeah, you know, make them jealous and they'll come begging us to take them back."

"I don't know, you might fall for me," he looked at you and smiled.

You swat him playfully in the arm, "Ego much"

He just chuckled and held your hand. At first, you were shock but later on relaxed to his touch.

The next day, picked you up and you went to school together. "So you ready? I mean, are you sure you wanna do this?" asked worriedly.

"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?"

"Well, are you willing to risk your popularity by going out with the bad guy?" he hesitated.

"I don't care, and I just found out that you're not so bad after all" you grinned at him.

"Oh, I'm bad, baby!" tried to act tough on you.

You laugh at him, "Oh, you're so cute when you do that!"

He mock-glared at you and then went out of the car. He walked alone and left you in the car. You suddenly realized what he was doing and ran after him. "Hey, don't be mad. I'm sorry." He ignored you and continued walking. You made him face you and touched his face. "I said I'm sorry, forgive me, please?"

He smiled at you and took your hands. "I forgive you!" and with that you walk hand in hand.

"Oh, umm, 's there" pointed at the group of girls with punk-rock outfits and dyed hairs.

You laughed slightly and glared at you. "Oh, sorry"

"So, what are we going to do?"

"Get to class" and you walked alone, leaving behind.

He caught you and grabbed you by the arm. "I thought we're going to make them jealous?"

"We will, just�not now!" you stopped when you reached your classroom.

"No, just�" you suddenly kissed him on the lips softly. was surprised at first, but later on he kissed you back, this time with more force. You were interrupted by the teacher clearing his throat. "Oh, sorry" you let go of .

"I'll see you later" he kissed you again.

You were sitting in the restaurant, waiting for . You are curious because he sounds really excited on the phone and you can't wait to hear the news. You saw him walked in the restaurant and you waved at him.

Your excitement vanished. "Really?" you asked hoping that he was just joking.

"Yeah, Oh my god, I'm so excited�" he goes on and on about but you was shattered. You never really thought that this day would come. You want to cry but you don't want to show it to so you got up.

"Look, I'm tired. I wanna go home, I'll just see you tomorrow,"

"Wait, do you want me to walk you home?" he offered.

"Just a little fight -"

"Oh, why didn't you follow her?" she whispered in his ear.

"Um, uh -"

"Don't answer that! Wanna come to my place?" she asked as she licked his earlobe. He nodded and off they went to her house.
