My Best Friend Stole My Royal Boyfriend

Chapter 23

Chapter 23

-AMIERA

We are now one day away from the fire fairy festival, and something in my gut is telling me there is plenty that’s about to happen in my life. I can’t explain it, I know that I may sound crazy, but there is no denying what I feel.

I walk into the school’s entrance, and before I can go any further, something catches my attention. I’m not prepared for the rush of negative emotions I feel next.

I cover my chest from the unbearable pain I begin to feel from seeing Adam’s hands

wrapped around Lizzie’s waist. But that’s not all that makes me sick to my stomach.

I take a deep breath, and I swear that I’m getting a panic attack. I can’t remember ever feeling like this before; I didn’t even feel like this when I saw Bryan and Aria cheating behind my back.

I can’t believe it. Is he truly kissing her? I don’t know why I’m still here looking at him stick his tongue down her throat, but my feet don’t seem to want to move. I knew that I wasn’t in a relationship with him, and we barely knew anything about each other but still… This was the

last thing I was expecting to see today.

I thought that I’d come to school today and the tension between us would still be there. He

smeared my lipstick, for crying out loud! He even touched it with his lips. How can he do those

things and then show up kissing Lizzie today?

Why was I even expecting anything from him? He was living up to his reputation; everything people said about him was true. Well, not everything, but at least the part about him being a player. He knew how to play with a woman’s heart; he knew how to make her want

him.

Why was I this devastated by seeing him kiss another woman? I knew that there could

never be anything between us, and I had already promised myself to try my best to stay away

from him. So then why am I this bothered? I should be happy that his attention would be on

someone else other than me. That way, I could focus on other things that weren’t him.

I force myself to turn away from the two of them and keep moving forward even though I want to drop to the floor and bawl my eyes out. I keep telling myself that it doesn’t bother me that much, but I can’t keep that lie up. I know very well that seeing him kiss another woman

was ripping my chest apart.

I needed to get to the bottom of my emotions. This couldn’t be a simple crush on a popular guy at school. It was more than that; my reactions to him said that there was way much more

Trush to class, and Abigail, like always, is waiting there for me. She smiles, and I force myself to smile back. I know when Adam enters the classroom, but I refuse to look at him today. I can feel his eyes on me for the rest of the class; my skin burns like it always does whenever he’s looking at me. However, I will not let him get to me. Now, I knew that he was still with that woman. They were still together, and she had his heart.

I spent the rest of the day ignoring him as well; I did a pretty good job at it even though it was killing me inside. I loved staring at Adam and focusing on every small detail about him. Not doing that bothered me so much that I wanted to scream in annoyance at my own body.
