There was a moment when I wanted to believe that this moment was real. You know there are moments when you try to lie to yourself just to enjoy the moment? Well that was the case for me, for my heart. But my brain isn't the one to be lied to so it turned back on. Despite the fact that I kissed him back once, I knew that it wasn't too late to stop this.

I punched him in the stomach and he immediately got away from me his face full of confusion.

"Don't ever do that again," I said and turned trying to leave him there.

"Come on angel, it's not like you didn't like what just happened," he said winking at me.

"I didn't. What was there to like?" I said trying to hide all the mixed emotions I had inside.

"Oh, so that's why you kissed me back, right? It happened because you didn't like it."

I didn't know what to say. A part of me wanted to think of something smart and sarcastic to say, but the other part knew that that's what he wants. Ignorance is the best thing I can do. He always craves for attention, that's the only thing that can have an influence on him. I looked at him with eyes full of the words he would understand even without my telling him them. Then, I just turned my glance and turned around to leave.

Just like always instead of trying to tell me not to go with words he does it with his hand grabbing mine.

"Let me go. Is this a habit for you to keep grabbing my arm?"

"Just like it is yours to keep running away from me."

"Let me go. Right now," I said not look at him.

"I'll let you go, if you answer my one question," he said with a low voice.

"Go ahead."

"Why are you always running away from me?" he said and I lifted my glance to understand the meaning of this question.

"Because I hate you, because I don't wish to talk to you and you piss me off with every single word. Happy? Not let go off me," I said trying to get my arm out of his grip.

"I know you don't mean that," he said in a serious tone.

"And why would that be the case? Oh is Mr. Everyonelikesme disappointed that there's someone with some common sense to see his real face and not to like him? Are you sad about that?" I said so proud of myself.

"Actually, yeah it bothers me and you know why? Because I like you," he said looking me into the eyes. I begin laughing loudly.

"You know I hate you, but I have to admit that your sense of humour is pretty good."

"I'm serious."

"Sure, you are. Listen demon it really does suit you to be serious, go back to your usual self."

"Angel I am serious. I like you."

"Aaaaaaaand the Oscar goes to Demon Bennet. I am so proud of you dude."

That's when he grabs my other arm as well and now both of my arms are in his.

"I mean it Bailey," he said with those deep eyes of his.

"Well I don't believe you," I said not showing that his eyes make me really uncomfortable.

"What do you want me to do for you to believe me?"

"Prove it," I said finally shaking his hands off of me and leaving.

"How?" I heard him scream from afar.

"That's for you to decide," I smile at him waving goodbye.

Immediately after saying that phrase I regretted even pronouncing it. I knew that encouraging him to take any steps towards me was a really bad idea. The thing is it's not like I believe that he likes me, but at the same time, if he does something it will be harder for me. I am so stupid. I should've thought before saying that. I just hope that he won't do anything.

Then if finally gets to me that I'm all wet because of the rain and I start running to reach home faster. Right now I just pray for my mom to be at work, because if not she's gonna kill me.

I open the door and try to go slowly to my room. When I take a couple of steps I notice that there's no sign of mom and I sigh with relief.

"Bailey Collins," and I froze in my place.

"Are you out of your mind?"

"Why mommy?" I said clearly knowing the answer, but pretending not to.

She raised her eyebrow and I realized that it'll be better for me to disappear for now. I run upstairs quickly changing my clothes.

"Are you hungry?" I hear her voice from downstairs.

"Noooooo," I scream back.

"By the way if you do this kind of a thing again, I swear I'll kill you. How can a sophomore be this irresponsible?"

"Got it mom. Sorry," I yell and then make myself comfortable on the bed.

Just when I'm about to start thinking about my homework I get a text.

Why does everything go back to Damon? It drives me crazy. It's like all the roads lead to Damon not Rome.

I put my phone away and start thinking about my classes. After some time I realize that I have trouble concentrating because Damon's words keep circling around in my mind. I don't feel like studying today, I'll do the readings before the classes start, I just want to relax and watch a movie.

My mom brings me a cup of tea with snickers (she really knows her daughter so well) and leaves the room. I watch a movie, enjoy the tea with the chocolate and decide to sleep.

In the morning when I wake up I realize something's wrong. I take my phone from the nightstand and look at the clock. Holy shit I overslept! I hurry to the wardrobe take a few clothes and the most important thing for today, my scarf, as I feel like I might get sick because of yesterday. My funeral's gonna be soon then.

My mom has obviously already left for work and the good part of today is that I can pass on having breakfast again. Cool. I take the keys and am about to leave the house. I open the door, but something surprises me.

There's a bouquet of flowers in front of my house. I go closer to the bouquet and read the note:

"Good morning angel."

So, he took the challenge. Oh God.
