Alaric couldn't believe his eyes. It was his girlfriend Sasha, with another guy, who he quite recognized. Norton, the quarterback. He tried to say something, but stuttered upon every attempt, making him look foolish.
Rage was boiling in him, and he clenched his fist, while the tears brimmed in his eyes with his mouth agape, staring at them as they continued their ever-passionate romance.
He yelled at her, and shock filled her eyes, when she jumped out of his arms, turning around to look at him. The other guy, who he could recognize as Norton, the quarterback who just humiliated him had anger flitting across his eyes because Alaric had stopped them from what they were doing.
"What the hell are you doing here Alaric?" Sasha demanded, as the fear in her eyes swiftly changed to annoyance.
"What the hell are you doing with this guy?" He asked, with a low-tuned voice, as he looked at Norton whose hand was still wrapped around her waist. He was quite muscular and tall, with strong fierce green eyes, and a sharp jawline.
"Stop this, Alaric. Don't make a scene. Calm down, we can talk this out together," she said, trying to explain. Alaric didn't find remorse in what she said and was angrier as she spoke.
He who was betrayed was asked not to make a scene.
"And who the hell are you? Aren't you the poor loser of the school?" The guy asked, shoving Sasha to the side, and facing Alaric.
He had humiliated Alaric earlier, and had even come to fantasise in his girlfriend's arms.
"Who am I? You're asking her boyfriend that question and you were enjoying it with my woman!" Alaric yelled.
"Your woman?" He scoffed, turning to look at Sasha.
She came in between both men, holding Alaric back as he took some steps forward.
"Stop this, Alaric. This is not it. You shouldn't be fighting against him. He's Norton, and know he's a very good guy," she explained.
"You're telling me to calm down? So that next time you guys can do this again?!" He yelled.
He didn't believe he was working his ass off, trying to save some money to get a gift for his girlfriend, and she was here, fooling with another guy?
More painfully, with the guy who always humiliated him every time.
The anger coursed through his veins, and it was like he should tear the man apart.
"Yes, Alaric. Calm down! Don't act so silly. Moreover, we weren't making love. We were just…"
"Just what? You're telling me to keep shut when you were fooling around with him? I loved you Sasha, and you betrayed me," he said. The tears spilled out of his eyes, forcing their way out and dropping to the ground.
"Don't be a wimp. Don't tell me you're getting all emotional and worked up because of this."
"A wimp? You tell me that after all we've been through. You're my girlfriend Sasha!"
"But I never loved you!" She yelled at his face, griping him.
His heart was shattered right that instant, and his mouth fell wide open.
"What? You never did what?" He stuttered, not believing his ears.
"Yes, if that's what you want to know. That's the real deal. Our relationship was just a game - a truth or dare game; and I never really loved you. So, man up and face reality!" She shouted at him.
His vision blurred as the tears formed in his eyes, and his heart raced faster.
Besides Sasha, no one in the world truly accepted him as a person. They all bullied and considered him weak, stupid, dumb, and poor, and while he thought he had a real girlfriend, she was stabbing him in the back. All an act to fool him.
"But I loved you, Sasha," he said, his voice beaten with shock, and the heartbreak evident in his tone. "I loved you."
Sasha chuckled hysterically.
"Loved me? Come on. Let's say the truth. Look at yourself in the mirror, Eric, are you a person? You're just garbage in human form. You don't deserve a classy girl like me. Besides, I have Norton, and in case you don't know, he's a megastar in school soccer, with so many accolades and Oscars, and he's rich. I don't care what has gone on between the two of you in the past. Well, you won't know what is wealth because you're nothing like that," she cursed at him.
His heart shattered tremendously, and he didn't believe what she just said. She humiliated him, and they laughed at him, both his ex-girlfriend and the man she was with.
For her, Norton was a better choice - the guy every woman would dream about, and she was lucky to have him. Alaric was definitely inferior to Norton. He was poor and couldn't afford anything, and Norton was very wealthy.
Nothing in comparison.
Alaric clenched his fist in anger. He would make Norton pay. He fired at him and grabbed his collar, but was no match for the latter. He was taller and more physically looking, and his big frame shoved Alaric to the side. Alaric attempted several punches and jabs, all of which Norton missed out on, and Norton bumped him against the locker, and landed him a big right hand to his face, sending Alaric to the ground, and rolling out to the main living room.
He groaned upon landing on his chest, and Norton twisted his arm on a reflex, pinning him, grunting, and holding him down.
"Let go of me," Alaric growled, gritting his teeth in pain.
"Shut the hell up, loser. Hey Sasha, grab me the marker," he ordered. Sasha rushed to the desk to get the marker, and he took it, writing a horrible note on his shirt.
It said: SORE LOSER.
"I guess that's what he is - a sore loser. I guess he should know who to fight before he throws a punch next time." Norton hissed, and grabbed Sasha by the waist, walking off, as they laughed at him.
Alaric winced in pain. It was too much to handle. They all hated him, they were so cruel to him. Even as he was betrayed, he was beaten.
He was going to make them pay, and revenge. The greatest revenge ever.
Alaric knew the cause of all these. He was always humiliated in the greatest way possible, and it was because he was so poor. They treated him badly. Coming from a very poor family, he knew he had to fend for himself for stipends, and he had just received the worst insult in his life. After all, money was what they all cared about. He felt shattered and betrayed. More than that, he felt hopeless and frustrated. There was nothing good coming for him, and it was time he gave up the will to keep going. If he was just going to die, then it would be better. His passion, soccer, was a game that required cumbersome effort, and if he didn't work for it, and earn a living off it, he was going to starve. Wiping the tears off his face, he sobbed. Everyone who was going to see him would call him a loser, because of the inscription. He was filled with pain and despair, and he walked out of the changing room. Passing the hallway, they taunted him, and everyone who passed laughed, some throwin
"Remember this Alaric. You are rich now, and you have to pay respect to your family. I'll send you the address, and you will have to meet them. Both your mother and father are classical trillionaires, and you have to pay your respect to them as their son. You will have to meet them and thank them for what they have done, and you must make sure to never forget their kindness," his father explained. He nodded his head. "Yes, Father. I'll do that," he said, still not believing how such a miracle could happen. When was wishing that his life would end, a kind of unexpected miracle surfaced before him and made a huge impact on his life. He couldn't believe that his life would change in just a matter of minutes. He rolled his eyes everywhere in the room. It looked like gunk in here, a small bubble, but his eyes saw gold. Everywhere was covered in gold in his eyes, and it seemed that the shock was affecting him so much. "You'll receive a package soon. I sent it. It is to represent you
Alaric stood up from the bed and cleared whatever it was that was there. Making sure he kept everything in place, he walked out of his house to a shop to buy her a gift. Kimberly deserved one. Despite being so popular in the school, she never despised him because he was poor, rather she took him like a brother and friend and was always there to stand up for him whenever Sasha wasn't there for him, even though it cost her a good reputation. She did it anyway. His eyes scanned through the series of shops that sold jewelry, but he had to make a choice. He passed through some choices, scanning from the outside what they had on the counter, and wasn't pleased with this. He had to keep looking. Finally, he located one. Stepping inside the shop with strong confidence oozing off him, he waved at the salesperson and saleswoman in charge. The woman wasn't in any way familiar with his status, since he was dressed a little too rugged. "Hello young man, how may I help you?" The saleswom
"What? You? Sore loser?" Norton taunted, scoffing. Sasha's eyes were filled with shock, and it was so apparent that she wasn't expecting this. It was something of a big shock. What the hell would the poor boyfriend and loser be doing in an expensive jewelry shop?"Good to see you again, Norton," Alaric said, calmly. An expression of surprise surfaced right away on Norton's face."What the hell! Look at this poor fellow standing on the same ground as me," Norton jested. Sasha smiled, and held onto Norton's arm, looking at Alaric, who was keeping his cool, while watching as they made a fool of themselves."Well, I'm standing on the same ground as you, as I have always been," Alaric fired back, smirking."What? You've never been on the same ground as me, you sore loser. Come on wimp. Well, I guess you're so delusional that you can't face the truth that you're nothing but a pathetic fellow," he cursed."Do you know that your presence is downgrading uw? How come we're here with you? This
Sasha couldn't believe her eyes and it seemed like magic as Alaric walked out of the store. Both she and Norton were surprised, and her eyes widened. She felt like she had so much wronged him in the past, and was ready to put everything out. Just yesterday she insulted him and cursed him, choosing someone else over him, but she was feeling the love bloom again. She was finding it in her heart to come closer to him. Alaric made his way out of the store and was about to leave when he felt a pair of hands grabbing onto him. He stopped for a while, before turning around to see who it was. Sasha. She had a remorseful look on her face as if she wasn't happy with herself, and she clung to him tightly. Norton was furious as his girlfriend was going back to her ex. "Sorry, Alaric. I doubted you and insulted you. I don't know why but I was blinded by status and fame, that of Norton. I see what it's like to be really in love. I am so much in love with you Alaric. Please accept me in y
The manager couldn't believe her eyes. This was one of the most expensive things on sale in the big store, and it was actually with Alaric. How the hell in the world was he able to get a hold of this without anyone knowing? Alaric looked shocked by everything that happened, and Sasha, together with her boyfriend Norton began laughing at him."I told you that he's just a thief who doesn't know how to control his appetite for luxury and steals them instead. What do you say about someone who can steal a diamond hairpin? I'm certain that he stole the card he used to pay the bills for the purse and necklace," Norton accused, firing immediately at Alaric. The manager's eyes rolled to the counter, scanning through everything it was that was on it until her eyes caught something. What? The Wright Ring? He had one with him? She was quite aware of how that ring could instill silence and could exert dominance over people. The Wright family was the greatest in the city. "T- that ring?" She s
Alaric walked out of the store after clearing all payments and saw the bemused faces of both Norton and Sasha. Reaching up to them, a smile ran across his face, in retort to their ugly faces. It was obvious that they were surprised. They were the first people to know who he is now, however, little did they know what he was planning to do with them. He was going to make sure that they lost their self-respect and dignity, and he was already building a master plan for it."Come on Sasha. Has it been so boring with your new boyfriend that you can't keep your ugly face off me?" He asked, wanting to taunt her. Her lips fitted into a curl, as she tucked several strands of hair behind her ear. She looked at Norton with a doubtful face. He knew what she meant by that. She was ready to go back to her past lover."You see Norton, this is just…""Don't tell me you want to go back to this loser, Sasha," he bawled. She shook her head."Don't say that! He is not a loser, Norton. I finally reali
"What is wrong with you Natalie? You know that you shouldn't be talking to a guest in such a manner," Kimberly scolded. The look on Natalie's face was baseless. Despite knowing that she hurt his feelings by insulting him, the puzzled look on her face only told that she wasn't an iota concerned. As usual, this was another opportunity to insult him, since that was what everyone always did."Come on Kimberly, you know I'm not lying. I'm telling the truth. Look at this weirdo.""Geez," her friends hissed, and they all smirked, while Kimberly gave them a tough glower."Don't glare at me, Kim. You know that you shouldn't make friends like this. I thought you were supposed to be hanging out with Ace," she said. Alaric turned to Kimberly, with a befuddled look on his face. "Ace?" He asked."Don't mind what she's saying," she defended before I could say another word. He never meant to ask who Ace was, but then, it seemed like he had heard the name before. Maybe he was also the kind of pe
