5.Our beloved Royal Academy!
The Bet
Olivia
In a game of 'Tag', trouble would always choose me as 'It'.
I'm fucked.
"Will you stop pacing around and tell me what happened?" Lucy says.
Oh, this is bad. This is so bad.
''Why God, why?" I cry hitting my head with my hands.
"Hey, stop.'' Lucy says grabbing my hands. "What's wrong?''
"He kissed me!'' I cry out.
"Who?'' she asks confused.
"He kissed me in my fucking lips!"
It was my first kiss damn it! How can he do that? I thought he was a nice boy. I thought that maybe our enemies weren't that bad. I was wrong.
He is so bad. Why the hell did he kiss me?
''Olivia, who kissed you?"' Lucy asks.
"I was...I was lying in a bed...which came out to be his bed. And then, he came to that room which was his fucking room! And then...I panicked, so I pretended to be asleep. And then...then he...leans closer...and kisses me. In the lips!'' I say in panic.
"What are you saying right now?''
"Joel fucking Cullen kissed me!" I yell.
''What?" Lucy yells back.
I lie down in my bed and groan.
"Did you meet Joel Cullen?'' Lucy asks.
Oh shit. Now I'm truly fucked.
"Olivia. Did you meet Joel?'' she asks again in a firm tone.
"Yeah..."
"What? Olivia, we agreed we would stay away from them!" she says.
"I know, I'm sorry.'' I say.
"Okay let me think this straight." Lucy says biting her nails. "Why did our enemy kiss you?
''I think he didn't know who I was." I say.
Because he didn't know me, right? That's why he was so nice and caring...right?
"You didn't tell him your name, right?'' Lucy asks and I nod.
"Good. That's good.'' she says and then sighs. ''I told you that going to that party is a bad idea.''
''Okay, okay, you were right." I say rolling my eyes.
"Are you okay?'' she asks after a while.
No, I'm not. I just got my first kiss from my enemy who doesn't even know who I am.
"Yeah, I'm good. After all, It's not like I'm meeting Joel Cullen tomorrow, right? I'll probably meet him after twenty years; it will be long forgotten. Not a big deal." I say.
It is a big deal because I can't forget about it. Or him.
I can't forget about the way his dimple popped on his cheek when he smiled. Or his ocean blue eyes looking at me with curiosity. Or the sound of his voice. Or the way his lips felt against mine...
"Are you sure?" lucy asks with worry.
No.
"A hundred percent.'' I smile and Lucy nods.
"It's that his?" she asks looking at the hoodie in my chair.
How the hell did I forget to take off his hoodie?
Because it was warm, and it smelled nice.
Shut up brain.
"Yeah.'' I sigh, and she raises her eyebrow. I roll my eyes. "I was cold, and he gave it to me.''
"Aww, that's actually so nice of him.'' she says.
"Don't fall for it.'' I say.
Cuz, I did.
''Anyways, no more Joel Cullen. Will you sleep with me?'' I ask my sister.
"Yeah sure.'' she says.
One hour has passed and I'm still awake.
The party, Joel, the kiss were all on my mind. I can't stop thinking about him.
Joel Cullen is the hottest guy my eyes have ever landed on. It's a crime for a boy to be that handsome. His blonde hair falling in his forehead, those ocean blue eyes, his full lips and his smile...his smile is so beautiful it almost ends me. And he is my enemy. Why is He, my enemy?
Can't my enemy be someone ugly?
For the first time of my life, I'm feeling sad that I have an enemy.
And for the first time of my life, I'm feeling sad that I won't see him again...

"Little Meyers!" Andy shouted running towards us.
We just arrived at school and drama is already here.
"Don't shout!" Lucy says, "What's wrong?"
"Dude, slow down. It looks like the aliens are chasing you.'' I say rolling my eyes.
"Well, they really are!'' he says.
"The aliens?" my eyes widen.
"Olivia, you fucking idiot, that was a metaphor.'' he says.
''Oh.''
"I'm surprised you know the metaphor." Lucy says with an eye roll.
"Well, I know mon petite amie.'' he says, "Whatever. The bomb has fallen in our school. Our beloved Royal Academy is ruined. They are here. The monsters are taking over our place! The school is-"
"Can you switch to the part when you actually tell us what happened?" I ask annoyed by his dramatic ass.
"The Cullens are here!" he yells.
"The who?" I ask.
"The Cullens." he repeats.
"That's not possible." Lucy says.
''I swear they are coming to our school.'' Andy says.
No. No, no, that can't happen.
If the Cullens are here so that means he... oh God.
"Are you sure?'' Lucy asks.
"Yes. I saw them entering the principal's office." Andy answers.
Oh God, I can't do this. I can't look at him where all that I would think is his body against mine, his hands touching my waist, his scent and worst his lips and the fact that he kissed me.
"Liv?'' Andy calls.
"Hey, are you okay?'' my sister asks me.
"Yeah, I'm fine." I smile at her.
Pull it together Olivia. You are a Meyer.
A Meyer is not afraid.
A Meyer makes the others be afraid.
"I'm going to cafeteria.'' I say.
I need a chocolate so bad right now.
"Be careful." Andy calls behind me.
"Hey GP!"I say to the cafeteria worker.
His name is Gery Perry, but I call him GP for short.
"Hi there Miss Meyer. The usual?" he asks.
"Yes please." I smile at him.
Oh, fuck my head is spinning.
I lean my head at the counter and close my eyes. Why the hell am I feeling dizzy?
It must be the lack of sleep. Fucking Joel Cullen's fault!
"Not used to late night parties?'' a voice whispered at my ear and goosebumps erupted from all my body.
Holy shit! Excitement and fear come through me.
I turn around and blue eyes greet me. His eyes are so blue I might drown in them. A tingly movement erupts on my stomach when I set my eyes on him, and I curse my body for being this responsive.
"We met again, Meyer.'' he says.
"What are you doing here?'' I narrow my eyes at him.
"I'm here to get a coffee, thanks for caring.'' he smiles.
"I didn't ask you that. I asked you what you are doing in my school. And I do not care about you.'' I say narrowing my eyes.
You're handsome Cullen, but you're still my enemy.
"Tough.'' he says putting a hand to his heart and I roll my eyes.
"Answer my question. What are you doing here?'' I ask glaring at him.
He smirks and then leans closer at me. He puts both of his hands at the counter, caging me in and leans his face closer to mine.
Oh man, he is too close. I can smell his woody scent and I swear it does something to my brain...
"I'm just returning the favor.'' he says, and I look at him in confusion.
Oh, he's answering the question. Focus Olivia!
"Wha-'' I clear my throat." What favor?''
He smirks and leans closer, his lips inches from mine. I switch my gaze at his lips and a huge desire to taste him properly this time comes through me.
Woah, chill Olivia you can't kiss your enemy.
"You came to my party, so I came to your school.'' he says looking at my lips.
"Okay, you came, leave now.'' I say unable to look away.
He touches my hair and starts twirling it between his fingers.
''Oh, but I can't.'' he says looking at my hair between his fingers.
"Why not?" I ask swallowing.
He opens his mouth to say something, but someone clears his throat. We both turn to look at GP. Oh shit, I forgot he was there.
''Um, miss Meyer? Your chocolate?'' he says in an awkward voice.
"Uh, yeah. Sorry.'' I say and push Joel away from me.
He chuckles and my knees wobble from that sound.
I pay for my chocolate and turn away to leave. I don't want a second confrontation with the Devil himself.
I hear Joel laugh behind me.
''I'll be seeing you, Meyer." he calls.
