Chapter 41: He Ruined My Night

Victoria's POV 

I couldn't stop myself from inhaling the fresh flowers, and I knew I was trying to divert my attention to the flowers, so I would stop thinking about Oliver. I could see the anger on his face the moment I got inside our classroom together with Declan, and I could tell we hurt his ego because it felt like Declan didn't care what happened between them yesterday afternoon.

And Knowing that Oliver was sitting at the back of our classroom made my heart race, and I wouldn't say I liked why I wanted to be near him always. And I know I have to make an effort to forget about him before it is too late.

"Victoria and Oliver, are you ready for the upcoming Math competition?" Our teacher asked.

"Yes, Ma'am," I responded, waiting for Oliver to say something, yet he remained silent until our class ended. 

"Hey, can I ask you to go on a date with me, Victoria?" Declan asked the moment our teacher got out of our classroom. And I could tell the entire class heard him when he asked to have a date with me, and I couldn't stop myself from blushing, and I wanted to take this opportunity to enjoy myself since I had never dated anyone.

And I could tell ever since Oliver came into my life, so many things have happened, and now for the sake of showing it to his face that I could have a good time with anyone, and I don't need someone like him in my life. Well, I know in reality, I wanted Oliver to be part of my life, yet I am aware it is impossible, and Oliver will never like me. 

"Sure!" I responded, and I am not even sure if I made the right decision, but I want to enjoy my remaining days in Zenith.

"That would be great; I will pick you up at 6.30 pm at your mansion if it would be alright with you, Victoria." Declan declared.

"That would be okay with me," I responded as I gave him a sweet smile.

"Thank you, Victoria." He said and left our classroom in a hurry. And I felt a little disappointed that Declan didn't tell me to walk me to our next class. I stood up and picked up my things, and my heart was pounding so hard when I turned around; Oliver was already standing so close to me. I needed to control my sanity because I knew I would be throwing myself at him at any moment if we will standing this close to each other.

And Oliver's intoxicating scent is making me light-headed. His penetrating gaze made my entire frame feel so weak, and I wondered what he wanted with me since he never cared about me. I don't want to have false hope anymore since I don't want to be humiliated by Oliver again, like what happened at the swimming pool. 

"Don't go on a date with Declan, Victoria," Oliver said, and I could feel the anger through his voice; and at first, I felt so happy knowing he didn't want me to go with Declan because he was jealous.

"He will never get serious with you, and you have to believe me, Victoria; you have to stay away from him. Declan is bad news." He added, and I realized he was only telling me this because he is still pissed about Declan and not because of me.

"You have no right to tell me what to do with my life, Oliver. You are not my dad." I hissed since I could no longer contain the pain in my heart of why Oliver couldn't like me as the other boys do. All I want from him is his attention.

"I am only concerned about you, Victoria." He said, and I could see the seriousness on his face, and I wondered if he was true to his words.

"Concern? Really? How can I believe you when all you have done ever since you arrived here in Zenith is humiliate and mock me." I said as I half laughed.

"Victoria, there are things you needed to know." He said softly, and I could see the sincerity on Oliver's face, but I don't want to get fooled again by his looks, and I don't want him to humiliate me once more. 

"There is nothing I didn't know, Oliver. I even know your plan. But I regret to inform you, I will never listen to you because of how many times you hurt me, and I am sure you don't care about me at all." I said, and I saw his face fall, and I am wondering what his game for today is.

"I am telling you, Victoria, you better listen to me, or you will regret it later on." He said, and I could see the pleading in his eyes.

"Just leave me alone, Oliver; there is nothing you can do to change my mind," I said, and I got out from our classroom feeling so triumphant, and I know even if Oliver hurt me so many times, I couldn't deny the attraction I felt for him. Still, I need to wake up and face the truth that I can never have him in my life.

"Wow! Bravo, Victoria; I just hope you will not have any regrets later. I am impressed that you could tell him what you feel inside, and it feels like Declan makes you confident enough to face Oliver." Lana said, and I became speechless as I thought about what I had said to Oliver.

"I won't regret anything, Lana. It was enough that I made myself look like a fool after Oliver gave me a mind-blowing kiss. Then he laughed at me and told me I can never win against him, and no matter how crazy I am with Oliver Prize, I will never let him play with my innocent heart ever again." I responded.

"Besides, Oliver will not know I only wanted to go on a date with Declan to enjoy his company as a friend, and nothing more, and it doesn't mean I will make Declan my boyfriend, which is one way of getting back at Oliver. I know if I will listen to Oliver, the price I need to pay would be so high." I added.

"I could feel it on my bones that Oliver hated me, and he was only trying his best to stop insulting me because of my father, and I could tell Jason or Celia informed my dad the way Oliver treated me, and that is the reason why he stopped hurting me, and I don't want to hope that one day he would like me too, Lana." I continued.

"I should stop my fantasy while it is still early, and I don't want to suffer in the end." I declared.

"I don't think Oliver doesn't like you, Victoria. he is just afraid to show his real feelings fo you." Lana added, and I laughed.

"Come on, Lana, we both know how he treated me," I responded as we got inside our classroom for our second period, and my best friend fell silent as she followed behind me. I settled on my chair and pulled out my textbook.

I have plans after my eighteenth birthday, and I know the things that happen in my life now don't matter anymore the moment I leave everything behind, and I guess having a date with Declan will not hurt me. I wanted to try dating before I graduated from High School, and I know ever since Oliver came, my outlook in life changed.

I didn't want to date anyone before, but after Oliver humiliated me, I felt challenged. I hated him for stealing my first kiss even If I relived that kiss countless times, and I am willing to take my chance with Declan even if I felt a little worried about his attitude because I could tell he was worse than Oliver. Still, my determination to show my mortal enemy that I could win against him fueled my desire to go out with Declan.

The day passed in a blur, and I hadn't seen Oliver the entire afternoon class, and I wondered where he went.

"You looked so gorgeous, Victoria," Lana said after putting on my makeup, and I felt so glad my best friend had come with me; I had already asked Jason to take Lana home after Declan arrived to pick me up.

I was surprised by Declan's thoughtfulness as he handed me another bouquet.

"Thank you, Declan," I said.

"Your welcome, Victoria." He responded, and I got inside his car after he opened the passenger's side, and he strode back to the driver's side, drove away from our house, and as I looked at the parking slot of Oliver, I realized he was not yet home.

Declan brought me to one of my favorite restaurants in the city, and I wondered how he knew I liked the place. When the waiter handed us the menu book, I couldn't stop myself from smiling as I ordered my favorite cuisines, and I heard my stomach grumble, and I realized I was starving.

I enjoyed Declan's company since there is no dull moment with him, and he is such a gentleman. Our food arrived, and we ate in silence while I caught him stealing glances at me, and I smiled at him since that was the least I could do to him.

And when I looked around, my entire body froze when I saw Oliver and Keisha getting inside the restaurant holding hands, and I couldn't stop the pain that I felt as I realized Oliver had a date with the cheerleader captain once again.. My mood turned sour as I realized Oliver Prize ruined my night.
