Chapter 19 - Boy That Sure Was Weird
"Do you think I would forget if I ever saw you before, Louis?" The best way to divert his focus was to
tter him. That was the way his brain worked. in stupid! And that wasn''t rocket science, so I could
do it! He grinned, mission aplished! "Anyways, I don''t like it that everyone thinks we''re dating." I
sighed dramatically. "I mean isn''t that an invasion of privacy?" He nodded furiously.
"I think I could fix that for you, baby." He said excitedly. Damn! That guy was gullible.
"Really?" I said my eyes widening for effect. I could have denied them and the rumours would have
eventually died out but this was way more effective.
"Yeah! I can do whatever you please, baby." Louis said grinning, I knew he has a crush on Cinnamon
but would he ever stop calling me baby? I was having some serious Justin Bieber vibes and it was not
good! "But I was thinking..." Oh-kay! That could never be a good sign. Stop thinking. Stop! "Just why
don''t we make them all true, I can be a good boyfriend, every single girl in the universe would be
jealous." I cringed; that would be the worst thing life could offer to me. "Plus, I guess you know by now,
I''m a famous model. That can be good for your business." Haha! Model my ass. He didn''t even work
for a whole day and now he was famous? That ego of his needed some reality check.
Now I really wished I went with my n B!
It simply consisted of threatening, which I was good at too. So it was a bonus, really.
"No, I''m sorry, Louis but I just can''t. Maybe if we met when I''m not Cinnamon. If it''s meant to be, we''ll
be together." That would get him. I just hoped my feelings weren''t too obvious while saying that. "But
for now, please let''s not involve anyone," I said softly. He just stared at me.
"Okay." He breathed. His eyes still piercing through mine. Dude even if you kept searching for me while
I was right in front of you, it''d be useless, I wanted to scream. He then got up. "I''ll see youter." He
smiled and took my hand in his shaking it.
I had a certain boy now to worry about. Tom!
It was nearly my birthday and there was no freaking sign of him. I asked uncle Cody when he was
present he was getting was not important. All I needed was my best friend, that would be enough for
me. So I decided to send him an email.
''You better get your ass here and fast before I drag you :)''
It was straight to the point!
Ron was taking a break from our guitar training so I decided to get him a little something. By a little
something, I meant the guitar he wanted yesterday. I returned back and got it after he dropped me
home. Wasn''t I such a considerate friend?
He waste today, that was my job! So, it was a bit weird when he didn''t show up for a whole ten
minutes. When he entered the practice room, he looked different. Something wasn''t adding up here! I
tried to focus on every single detail. Then I figured it out, he wasn''t Ron, that was Ross. The way he
walked was different. The way he held his guitar was different. His hair was a bit shorter. He had less
freckles. If they were trying to prank me, who said this couldn''t be a double prank!
Two could y this game! Or in our case, three?
I waved at him "Hey! You look different today." Ross gave me a big smile that he was struggling to
contain. His acting skills were terrible he thought he fooled me. "Do you think that has to do with the
fact you''re Ross?" I cocked my head to the side as if in confusion "You''re going to be my teacher for
the day? I didn''t know you yed the guitar." His smile faded and his eyes widened inprehension
a lot. Look who was surprised now.
"Surprise!!" Ron and my cutie band entered the room screaming andughing like idiots. I gave them a
smug look. Ross shook his head swiftly while I cracked up.
"She''s smarter than us bothbined, bro. The prank-master has been defeated." They both chuckled
as Ross said that.
"You guys are trouble. The poor guy has always been decent until you showed up." I smirked, shaking
my head in fake disbelief.
"We''re not trouble," Ma grumbled.
"And I''m Abraham Lincoln." I chuckled, he red at me. "Oh, whatever you angry dwarf."
"I''m not a dwarf." Which was true, he was more of a human tree so I wouldn''t describe him as dwarf
either. How so ever, what was more fun than making an angry person even angrier? Oh, damn! I had
issues!
"Next time, it will be awesome!" Benjamin said bubbly.

"That''s literally what we say every time," Xander replied while they were leaving. Ross took a seat in
the far corner saying he wanted to listen to some music and I didn''t mind, so why not?
Just when I was about to leave and get some sleep, Ron decided he wanted to text me. Dude, we were
literally just together. Yes, you didn''t know that, but I did!
Ron: So guess what?
Me: You got me food!
Ron: Nope!
Elena: Smoothie?
Ron: No, Shana! A FRIEND GOT ME THE GUITAR WE SAW TOGETHER!!!!! A smile tugged its way
to my lips. Looked like this friend did the right thing to get him the guitar.
Ron: Now, as promised, will you let me y it for you, mdy?
Me: I may need more persuasion
Ron: It will be awesome ;)
Me: Kay then!
Me: But don''t call me Shana again; because I''ll kick you in the balls!
Ron: Gulp!
I smiled smugly and decided to meet him. Might as well pass some time... but I needed to study too,
my subconscious reminded me. Nah, Ron was more fun. Besides, I could study tomorrow at the school
library; I finally had a day off!
I drove to the park where Ron insisted we meet. Humming to Ed Sheeran all the way. I was in my little
happy bubble. Especially with my birthdaying soon! The only thing missing now was that idiot
called Thomas. He had to be here since my first day at school. It was supposed to be our first day.
If he didn''te before my birthday, I would personally hire aliens to abduct him, or I could always rely
on the mafia to kill him and do the deed. I smiled as my thoughts got darker. God, why was I so
aggressive today. I was scarring even me!
When I got to the park, I was gobsmacked. It was beautiful. There was no other way to put it. It was so
calm, so green with ake where ducklings were swimming. How did I not know such ce existed. It
would have been my to-go destination when I needed inspiration or when I needed simply a calm
ce.
Perks of knowing Ron, I guess!
"Shana, finally." He waved. "Are you alwayste?" He smirked while I shrugged in response. I had to
make a stop to get donuts... from that ce that was too far from here... but it made the most wonderful
donuts ever. So it was worth it!
"What did I say about giving me nicknames?" I asked menacingly.
"That you absolutely love it." He chirped and jogged to the edge, sitting down on the bright green grass.
I went and sat right next to him, making no sound and getting lost in my thoughts. "I wanted the first
time to y this guitar to be perfect, and what''s perfect more than that beautiful view?" Ron said
warmly getting me out of my daze. As he started plucking at the strings, I heard a beautiful melody.
He looked like another person, so charming. Like a prince charming without the horse. The music
continued getting even more beautiful if that was even possible. I felt it tugging at my heart. Ron looked
far away in his own world. Unreachable. Like he didn''t belong to this world. His ying is so full of
emotion. Hurt. Bitterness. Betrayal. I could feel all the sadness pull at my heart, I almost broke down in
tears. But I didn''t allow myself. No, Elena Whitte did not cry in front of anyone! Or else, my Pandora
box, that I hid so deep would open. Revealing my worst!
