Chapter 28: Protecting My Heart

Victoria's POV

I found it odd that Oliver Prize suddenly looked like he was a different person. But I will never get fooled by him again; I know kissing him for the second time around brought me the highest level of happiness that I couldn't express in words. There is something about Oliver that I couldn't quite understand.

He is like a flame, and I am the moth since I could feel it in my bones; I can't resist the feelings I have for him. The pull and the attraction I felt for Oliver is something I know I can't handle, but because of my reputation, I need to do everything I can to stay away from him.

I couldn't believe that Oliver would humiliate me after kissing him back on the swimming pool, but I couldn't deny it was also a mind-blowing kiss. Everything was perfect until he ruined everything the moment he stopped kissing me, and then Oliver told me he only kissed me to test how I felt for him.

And I wondered why Tim, the hot quarterback, suddenly avoided me, and I don't know why. Tim used to be so excited to see me, and I felt sad since he is the only one in the male department in our Academy I felt at ease to flirt with even if I didn't feel something for him like how I felt Oliver.

We were waiting for our math teacher to come, and I could feel Oliver was watching me even if my back was on him when Lana leaned down and started talking with me.

"Hey, are you okay?" Lana whispered in my ear, and I shook my head.

"No, I can't take it anymore, Lana, I hate Oliver, but I couldn't deny the strong attraction I felt for him." I confided to my best friend in more than a whisper since I didn't want any of our classmates to know I had a dilemma because of one boy hot boy.

"It is called love, Victoria." My best friend said, and my eyes turned so big since I didn't want to accept it yet to my best friend that I was falling hard for Oliver.

"Don't be ridiculous, Lana; I know I am not in love with him; maybe it was because he was ignoring me; that is why I felt attracted to him, but I am sure this is not love," I said, and her forehead crinkled.

"Well, it is okay if you won't accept it yet; I could say you are new to this kind of thing; I mean, you don't have any experience about dating and falling in love, and this is the first time I saw you so affected with a guy." My best friend responded, and I couldn't disagree with her.

"You were so used to having those guys chased around you like you were the only hot girl on this Academy. Don't get me wrong, Victoria, I am proud you are my best friend, but I pity those guys that they only settle for those girls who flaunted themselves at them even if they like you." Lana said.

"That is not true, Lana," I responded.

"You can't understand it was happening because you didn't even give them a side glance every time you passed them in the hallways, and you will only acknowledge them once they will call your name, but those boys can't deny even if they are already dating hot cheerleaders every time you passed by, they still can't stop themselves from gaping at you, and it is obvious they still want to date you." She added, and of course, she still had a point.

I didn't pay attention to them since every time we walked in the corridors, I was busy talking with Lana, but I am aware those hot boys are everywhere, but right now, I could tell I experienced the same thing in the hands of Oliver Prize.

"You were right, Lan, and I am not proud of what I have done," I responded.

"Come on, Victoria, it was not your fault to be born that way, you are beautiful, and daughter of one of the richest men in the country, and most of all, you have all the curves that made your body look so gorgeous, and enough to make those boys go crazy about you, and I can say Oliver Prize is not an ordinary boy," Lana responded.

"And I could say Oliver is no longer a boy, and he is a hot young man. And that is the reason he can resist your charm, and he is also proud of himself since he is the most handsome guy on campus now, and that is why the hottest girl in the academy couldn't stop herself from falling for him." My best friend added, and her last words made me feel miserable, and I know Lana was right, and how I wish I could control myself from falling for him.

"But you don't need to worry, my dear best friend, I could tell he feels something for you too, since I caught him so many times stealing glances at your angelic face, yet because of his mysterious demeanor, it was hard to read the expression of his face, and I could tell he is good in hiding his true emotions, and he is one hell of a guy." My best friend added.

"I seldom have a crush, but ever since he came here to the Academy, I couldn't deny, I was one of those girls who are willing to do everything for him, but as of this moment, I think Oliver and Keisha have misunderstanding since Oliver went to the library this morning with you, and it means more girls would line up for Oliver's attention." She added, and I could see that my best friend was blushing, and I raised my eyebrows as I looked at her with wide eyes.

"Excuse me, I went to the library alone, and I was shocked to find him crouching across from me in the library; he invited himself to join me, and as expected, he didn't come to see me and have a good conversation with me, but to enrage me once again. And I could tell that is one of his talents." I said as I scowled at my best friend.

"And how can you explain the fact that Oliver Prize warned Tim not to court you if he doesn't care about you, I don't think he will do something like that unless Oliver hated you so much, but he only warned Tim, and not the rest of your male fans club," Lana responded, and my eyes widened in surprised.

"And I could say it was because only the hot quarterback got the chance to kiss you. Oliver was proud when he learned he was your first kiss, and you ruined his moment when you allowed Tim to kiss you." Lana added, and it dawned on me why Tim was avoiding me, and my anger towards Oliver intensified, and I could feel my blood is boiling in my veins.

He has no right to stop any boys from showing interest in me; it was ridiculous. And before I could answer, Lana, our Math teacher, came inside our classroom, and the entire room fell silent while I could feel the pounding of my heart against my chest.

And I wouldn't say I like the idea that our math teacher asked Oliver and me regarding the incoming math competition. And I don't want Oliver to say bad things that will hurt my feelings. Still, I was surprised when he informed our teacher that he would find time to study with me starting tonight, and I couldn't deny I felt excited, and I hated myself for feeling this way because I knew he would only disappoint me.

I know there will never be good things that will come out of Oliver's tempting mouth. I hate that even if I was so angry with him, I couldn't stop myself from thinking about his sweet soft lips, and I realized I needed to stop myself from falling for him, and I needed to find a way to stay away from him as possible.

I can't love someone like Oliver because he can infuriate me easily because of his cocky attitude. Maybe it was because he didn't show any interest in me that is why I felt so upset with him, and my ego was hurt, and as I think about it, it wasn't Oliver's fault at all, if he doesn't like me, or he doesn't have feelings for me, and I realized I was hurt because of my pride. But even so, he has no right to keep insulting me every chance he can get.

Oliver stole the spotlight from me, and I couldn't believe that he would also steal my heart; and I will never allow him to have my innocent, loving heart because I am aware he will only shutter it, and I am sure it would be hard for me to mend my broken heart.

The best thing I could do was to stay away from him as possible because ever since he had come into Zenith, Oliver had done nothing but make me feel so stressed, and not only that, ever since I met him, I found my heart so restless, and I know it was because of the intense feelings I felt for him, and if Tim completely ignores me, I don't have a choice, but find another guy who can distract my foolishness about Oliver Prize

All I need to do for now is to bury my feelings for Oliver, and it is not my forte to chase a guy. I am used to having the undivided attention of all the guys on campus if I wanted to, and I will never let Oliver affect me, especially after what happened in the swimming pool. That was the last straw, and I couldn't allow him to hurt me again, and I suddenly remembered the wolf in his room.

And I can't stop myself from smiling as I realized I have something I can use against Oliver so he will be evicted from our mansion, even if it will hurt me because I learned to love his pet. Still, I didn't have a choice, I needed to guard my heart, and I needed to protect myself from hurting because I knew there would never be a way out if I let myself fall for him.

Oliver will only break my heart, and instead of wasting my time thinking about Oliver, I got my pen, and I have written down my speech on how to convince my parents to banish Oliver from our house.

I couldn't wait to call them tonight and tell them about Oliver's secret of having a wild animal inside our house. I need to fabricate a story that the wolf hurt me so they will not have any choice but ask Oliver to leave our home.

The idea of having the house for myself once again excited me, but I couldn't deny that there is a part of me that I felt so sad that I could no longer see Oliver inside our house, but I need to have a grip of myself if I want to protect my heart from Oliver Prize.
