Alli Bhandari sat on her bed, hugging a pillow and crying. How could she be so stupid? How could she have thought that someone as cool and popular as Drew would really be interested in someone like her? Sure, he liked hooking up with her, but that was it. She felt like she wasn't worthy enough to be anything more than his booty-call.
"You know for a genius, you're not very smart."
His words still stung her. He was right. She was stupid. She was stupid and naïve. She shouldn't have pushed the relationship thing, but she liked him so much. And she thought he liked her just as much.
Why am I so stupid? She thought to herself. She had called Jenna and told her about it, and she offered to get the entire football team to beat him up, with the Power Squad helping. She had denied, though. Whatever the football team and Power Squad could do to Drew wouldn't be worse than how she felt now.
This brought memories of last year back to her. With Johnny DiMarco and how stupid she had been then, too. Thinking someone like Johnny could like her. Be honest with her. She hated herself sometimes.
She tried to stop crying, but every time she did, more tears fell. She wanted to believe that deep down Drew was a good guy, and he only said those things to her because he was frustrated and wanted her to stop nagging him about becoming "official".
"Get off my back, would you?"
She should've taken that as a warning, to cool off. To stop pushing the Relationship Status thing, but in true Alli Bhandari fashion, she stubbornly refused to ignore or acknowledge the warning signs in her head and kept charging after what she wanted.
Look where that got her. Home alone on a Saturday night. Crying her eyes out over some guy that probably didn't like her half as much as she liked him.
Does he even like me at all? She thought, then quickly dismissed the thought, thinking that nobody as amazing as Drew could like somebody as lame as her. Not even a little bit.
She hated that she had done it again. She hated that she fell for the wrong guy again. Maybe that was all she was destined to be attracted to. The wrong guys for her. It seemed like everyone else was attracted to the right people for them. KC and Jenna. Eli and Clare. And then there was her. The lone loser. Destined to be alone forever.
She laid on her bed and curled up into a ball, tears still trickling down her face. She closed her eyes and fell into a rocky sleep. Dreaming of perfect guy for her. The guy that would treat her right and love her until the end of time.
The guy that would never come.
So… what do you guys think of this? Totally new character/couple that I'm writing for right now. Did you think I captured Alli and her feelings for Drew okay? And by the way, I'm SO not liking Drew's character right now. Except for the fact that Luke Bilyk is GORGEOUS, I don't think the character has anything else going for him.
Quick update about "The Plan", I'm currently experiencing writer's block. I mean, I have an IDEA for how I want the chapter to go, I'm just still trying to figure out how to do it. BUT it will be up ASAP. And thanks to all of you guys that have read/reviewed/faved/alerted the story. It means A LOT to me.
Please read and review this. I'll give you a virtual cookie. =3
