"How dare you steal my first kiss from me?" I hissed as I looked daggers at Oliver.
"And why do you ever feel so stressed about it when I can feel you enjoyed that kiss so much? It was just a kiss, Victory. Besides, you don't even know how to kiss." Oliver replied with a smirk that made me feel angrier.
"If you want, I can give you a kissing tutorial for free." He added, and he left me without taking a second glance, and I realized I finally met someone who would never worship me, and I promised to myself I would do everything I could to make him pay for what he had done to me.
"Hey! Are you alright, Victory?" Lana asked the moment we walked towards our second class.
"Are you kidding me? After everything that happened, you are asking me if I am okay?" I asked my best friend a question, and she shook her head
"I am boiling with anger right now, Lana, and I hated him with all my heart, and I will make sure Oliver Prize will pay," I replied, and I could see my best friend was smirking at me.
"Why do you look like that? Are you on his side now?" I asked in disbelief, and I saw my best friend shaking her head.
"Nope, I don't know him in the first place, but I am more on.." My best friend trailed off, and I could tell she had something on her mind that she couldn't even say because she was afraid I would snap at her.
"You know you can always speak your mind to me, Lana, and I will never hold you liable about anything," I said, and she hesitated before she continued to speak.
"Well, I like Oliver." She said, and I looked at her horrified.
"What? Are you fooling me? How can you say that when I am your best friend?" I asked.
"This is the first time that someone crossed the line to kiss you. I understand you were saving your first kiss for your one great love. But you are still young, Victory, and I think you have to enjoy our senior year and stop being like that." She said, and I am confused with what she means.
"Why, what am I, Lana?" I asked her, and she looked at me again, and this time my best friend was scaring me.
"You always act so primly and proper, and I think it is about time you should spread your wings and enjoy life." She said.
"You are unbelievable, Lana. This is who I am. You never complain about that. If you want, you can stop talking with me and join your other friends, and I enjoyed my solitude anyway." I declared, and I can see the hurt on her face.
"Victory, I know who you are, and what they think about you doesn't matter to me. You are the daughter of Mr. Nicklaus Winner, the richest man in the country, and everyone on campus thought you were the luckiest girl in the universe for being born rich. Yet, they didn't know how lonely your life is because you are always left alone in your mansion with the staff is your companion since your parents are both busy running their businesses." Lana declared.
"They envy your perfect beauty and glorious body, but you find it so hard to believe who is true because you have been fooled before, and that is why you have trusts issues, but you have to believe me, Victory, not all are wicked. There are genuine people out there who are willing to be your friends. They thought you were above them because of your status in life, but I know deep inside your heart you are the most down-to-earth individual I ever know." Lana added.
"I know you always follow the rules, and you are an outstanding student because you don't want to be in trouble, you always wanted your parents to be proud of you, but they never recognize your achievements, and I could tell you are hurting inside because you were hoping they will appreciate everything you have done. And I think it is time to think about yourself and stop pleasing your parents." Lana continued, but I shook my head because there was no way I would accept that everything she said was true.
"I have a perfect life, Lana, and I am happy with my life being the heiress of my father's empire. I don't care what they think as long as I continue to do what I think is best for me. I will not get angry with you because I give you a chance, to be honest with your opinion about me, but I regret to inform you that none of those things you said were true." I replied, and I could tell her face fell.
"Come on, Victory, for once, you have to get out from your comfort zone and enjoy your life. Yes, I could say you have a perfect life because you've got it all, but I am telling you, you are miserable," She said, and I just shrugged my shoulders.
"I don't know what you are talking about, Lana. I am happy with my life until Oliver Prize ruins my reputation. I didn't date the hot guys who have been bugging to date me, and they all respected my decision. How come someone like him do something like that?" I asked.
"I am sure I became the laughingstock on the campus right now," I said in more than a whisper.
"Hey, I am sorry, I know how important your first kiss is for you, maybe he likes you that is why he did it, right? We know all the boys here in our school is crazy about you; maybe the new guy is not exempted with your charm." She said, and I laughed, and I wished she was right because I would show it to Oliver's face. I am not interested in him, but at the back of my head, I couldn't stop myself from feeling nervous as I realized what Oliver said was true.
I did enjoy the kiss that until now, I can still feel his lips on my lips, and I couldn't deny I had been reliving that kiss. I can feel the knots on my stomach, but my pride took over my senses that is why I am so angry with him even if I can feel my knees got so weak after he kissed me, and for the first time, I experienced what they said on the books, the butterflies on the chest, and knots on my stomach. I experienced those things while I was kissing Oliver.
I became angrier, and I felt so frustrated when we got inside our classroom for the second period. I realized that Oliver Prize is still our classmate, and the girls and boys are circling him, and he looked like he owns the world now. It used to be me. Before the class starts, my classmates will surround me, and they will talk and praise me, and they will never get tired of telling me how perfect I looked and how beautiful my dress was; they appreciated everything I owned.
And right now, he took the spotlight from me since our classmates were talking with him, and they were all laughing, and I could tell he was having a blast on his first day in our school, while I was having the worst day of my life, and I could tell he will become the king of our school. I hate the way he raked his hands on his shiny black hair, and I could tell he was having a good time stealing everything I had.
"Hi, Victory!" He said when he caught me staring at him, and I wouldn't say I like it that I was precisely looking at his perfect lips when he raised his head, and to recover from my embarrassment, I grimaced at him and walked towards my chair without saying a single word at him.
"Do you happen to miss my kiss?" He asked, which made our classmates snicker.
"In your dreams Prize, it was a nightmare to have my first kiss with you," I responded when I couldn't take it anymore.
"Well, very well said, Ms. Winner, but I think you are losing this game." He said with total confidence.
"I am not playing any of your stupid games, Prize, so you better shut up since you are new. I never lose. Can you spell my family name? It is W-I-N-N-E-R. I am a winner Prize. And if you think about my name, it is Victory, so you are only a prize for my win." I said, and I hated him more when I heard his laughter reverberate the entire room.
"What childish thinking, do you think because of your name you can win, Ms. Winner? News flash, it is just a name. It is how you play the game." He said, and I fell silent because I could feel my entire body was boiling with anger. I was just glad our teacher arrived, or I couldn't control it anymore, and I hate that I am losing myself to Oliver Prize, and I became a different person because of him.
I could tell he was trying his best to provoke me, and I couldn't believe he was my classmate in all of my subjects, and I think the universe was playing tricks with me.
I took a deep breath before I got out of my room because I couldn't believe that my day would turn out this way. First, early in the morning, we almost had an accident because of Oliver, and now he didn't stop himself from making me feel so miserable by becoming my classmate for all my subjects. How can I have a normal life if I see him every day my entire senior year?I know I am overreacting, but the humiliation I felt after he kissed me was too much for me to handle. After putting my books in my bag, I ran towards the registrar's office, and I begged our registrar to change all my class schedules. When she asked me for a valid reason why I didn't like my existing schedule, I turned mute, and I loathed Oliver Prize for ruining my Senior Year.I was walking towards my car, where Jason was waiting for me, when I saw a motorcycle running fast from the parking lot through the driveway of our school, and I coughed when I inhaled the dust. And I couldn't stop myself from feeling so angry
I didn't know how to react the moment I saw Oliver Prize inside our dining hall, and it felt like the universe was punishing me for a sin that I hadn't known I had done, and the way he looked at me with contempt fueled my anger towards him."What is he doing here, Art?" I asked our butler, and he smiled at me."I am sorry, my dear, this so sudden since your father called me a while ago, informing me about Oliver. And I believe you have met at school since he told me you are classmates." He said, and I don't know who Oliver is, but I could tell right away he was from the elite society since my father called our butler."Why are you here, Oliver?" I asked in a stern voice."Asked your father, Victoria, because if you are going to ask me, I just want you to know, I don't want to be here as well." He responded, and I could tell right away he was trying to provoke me once again, and I tried to control my voice as I sat down on my chair. And if I wasn't only hungry, I have already retreated
"What? I don't think that is a good idea. I am not going to have a mate, and that is period." I said sternly, and I couldn't believe the elders would bring up this issue in our meeting, and I know their wisdom is also needed in our pack. However, being civilized wolves, we are now in a different era. We still go on hunting during the full moon, but thanks to our forefather's we are now all living in the city, having the best days of our lives being human. We live in a happy community.But we know sometimes we hear violence happening in other packs, and having a mate is still necessary. I gained my position being the Alpha when the last Alpha in our pack challenged me, and I know I can never say no to our Alpha even if I didn't want to fight him. The rest of our pack asked me to fight, and he was the strongest amongst us. When he asked me, I tried to resist him, and I couldn't believe I needed to fight him because I only wanted to remain a Beta for the rest of my life since, for me bei
I am the CEO of my own company, and now I woke up early in the morning not to go to my office, but instead to go to the most expensive school in the entire country to attend classes as a senior high school student, and I know it is outrageous. But I had to follow the request of the elders, and of course, to make my father's dream come true. But in my heart, I don't want to do this because I am only wasting my time. I know I am needed in the office because I have a lot of documents waiting for me on my table even if I know Zane is reliable and can be as effective as me.I am a software engineer, and I am a proud owner of my company developing the leading software globally. I am successful, and I don't need a woman, especially an eighteen-year-old girl, to complete my stature in life. I am so happy being single, and I can tell that I am content with my life, and I hated my father for having that stupid promise to his best friend. How could they agree without our consent? They arranged f
I almost laughed when I realized our first subject was mathematics, and I couldn't believe I would be here at the Academy as a senior high school student. For the first time, a girl captured my interest, but I could tell she was a feisty one. I tried to look around, trying to find the girl and the reason I was in this predicament, and I could tell there were a lot of beautiful young ladies in this class, and I could tell they all came from affluent families.But nothing can compare to the girl on the front seat who looked at me with disgust. I can say she is the darling of the entire class. Her beauty fascinated me, and I wondered why she seemed so angry with me when I had just joined their class for the first time and smiled when I realized maybe she hated my pretty face.I was wondering who amongst these beautiful girls is Victoria Winner. Our teacher continued to discuss our lesson, and I could tell that my classmates were listening to her intently while my eyes were fixed on the b
Oliver's POVI could see her eyes blazing with anger after I let go of Victoria's mouth, and I could tell even if she enjoyed the kiss, she would never accept that I stole her first kiss because I could feel her anger towards me. It was one of the pieces of information I received from Zane. He told me no one had ever kissed Victoria, which made me curious. And since I hated myself for liking her before I even realized she was Victoria Winner, it drove me to kiss her so she would get angrier with me.And when I asked her why she felt so stressed about it when she enjoyed that kiss so much? And I told her it was just a kiss. And I lied when I said she doesn't even know how to kiss. It made her angrier, and I made it worse when I told Victoria I could give her a kissing tutorial for free. I can't explain the wrath that was written all over her face, and I left the classroom without taking a second glance, even if I wanted to stay and know more about her, and I couldn't accept I was the o
Victoria's POVI 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 ope
Victoria's POVI got out of my car feeling so sick, and I couldn't believe that I would be feeling this way and I knew that this was the first time that I experienced this kind of emotion, and it was so foreign, yet I have read it from the books, and I hate it. I hate Oliver for sure, and Keisha, who threw herself at him like a leech, and I wanted to scream at them.How could Oliver kiss Keisha without opening the car door for me first? And I am just glad Tim came to my rescue. He always came near my car every time I arrived on the school grounds, but my driver always beats him to open the car door for me, and this was the first time he was able to do it, and I could see the happiness on his face."Thank you, Tim," I said, and he offered to take my bag and books, and this time because of the anger that I felt for Oliver. I gladly gave my things to him, and I could tell all eyes were on me now since I didn't let anyone touch my things, and they all knew everything that I like and what
