This is something different. I hope you all like it.
The List.
Urgh! I slammed my apartment door which nearly broke.
What the hell is his problem? Why does he always act like he has a stick up his ass? Why do I keep on hoping that he would pay any attention to me? Why do I keep throwing myself at him like a slut? Am I that desperate? Why can he see that even though he has so many fan girls, I'm different?
Today after our group training, as always, I asked him if he wanted to go grab something to eat and you know what? He didn't even look at me. He kept on walking! When it all started he at least used to look at me and then just walk away now he didn't even look at me. Acted as if I didn't even exist. How.. Arrogant! Who the hell did he think he was? I was no less than him.
I can't bear getting rejected again and again! Well, if he doesn't see what he's missing then it's not my fault! Its simply his lost!
Yes. That's right. I'm going to get over him. But how?
Yes! Im gonna make a list.
I grabbed a pen and a paper from my table and started scribbling on it. I made a list and wrote;
19 Fail-safe ways to Forget about a Certain Stubborn, Bronze-Haired, Hormone-less, 845 Years Old, Powerful Vampire Jerk And Get on With your Life because It Is Too Short To Spend All Your Precious Time Trying to Get Henry Fitzroy Attention
By: Elizabeth Santiago
1. Never...I repeat NEVER allow yourself to get lost in his (stunning, gorgeous, beautiful topaz) eyes! Just don't do it. You may casually glance into them once in a while to avoid suspicion, but if you feel yourself starting to lose all sense of time while looking, slap yourself and look away! If needed Avoid ALL eye contact with him, however this method may arouse unwanted attention.
2. Stop Asking Him out! Resist all urges to ask him out to eat or to train with you. The more time you spend with him, the harder it will be to accept the fact that you will never be together. Or...well that WOULD be true, if he ever accepted your offers. Still constantly asking him out gives him the satisfaction of having your attention AND gives him the opportunity to hurt you when he declines. So im sure you don't want that to happen.
3. Don't offer him compliments! Informing him of all of his good qualities just helps him inflate his already Bigger-Than-Life ego. If he happens to do something wildly impressive in your presence, simply ignore it. If THAT proves to be impossible, compliment him in your head or go home and express your adoration onto a piece of paper. Then...rip the paper to shreds and burn it.
4. Do not ogle his hot body and/or lovely features while at training or on a mission. This will be a crucial step in getting over him, considering the fact that the Fitzroy has one of the most beautiful bodies in the history of...well...everything. If you manage to complete this step, it will only be a matter of time before you forget the bastard totally. If you begin to stare, just tell yourself to imagine him naked...WAIT NO! DON'T DO THAT! IN ABSOLUTELY NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU DO THAT! Instead...imagine him...wearing...a...a... bunny suit.
5. Always try to dress your best and look utterly...well...for lack of a better word, hot. If you look good, feel good and take pride in the fact that you are one unique and smoking hot brown haired beauty, everyone will take notice of your newfound confidence. This includes men. Yes...In your obsession with Henry, you have forgotten about the other eligible men of your homeland called Vampiria. So always remember to spend a bit of time each day and put in that extra effort to look your best. Soon you'll feel so empowered that Henry Fitzroy won't even cross your mind.
6. stop calling him babe! From now on you will refer to the man in question as Henry. NOT Henry babe. The elimination of this will not only let him know that you are no longer dying for his affections, but also you'll be subconsciously telling your heart to accept the fact that you don't want to be with him anymore. If you occasionally let a small "Henry babe" slip out, quickly correct yourself. There's no room to be weak. Clear your throat loudly and proudly say "Sorry... Henry."
7. Be yourself around him even if its really hard.Every guy wants a girl to pretend she is something she's not. Who likes a regular person? Be different and special and in order to do that you should try to act like the hottest stuff in the world. That will boost your confidence and the Henry will notice your confidence. It's easier to act like someone else rather than be yourself. Be assertive
8. Don't stop doing what you like to do. Just because Henry might like something else doesn't mean you should stop doing something you like .If he doesn't like you for who you are, then let him be. Try a new hairstyle, new clothes, etc. It's a good idea to change things up once in a while. Because variety might be the spice of life, and it might help you catch his eye, not that you want to. Try being that girl who is different from all the other okay looking girls. guys love when girls look them in the eyes so don't do it with Henry. There's more fun if your trying to get over someone while trying to make them fall hard for you when your over them. Get it?
9. Make sure you don't go on about nothing. Definitely make sense when you talk to him. Don't twirl your hair, flick your eyelashes or GIGGLE nonstop.
10. During training sessions, never let him beat you. This may seem difficult considering the fact that he is without a doubt one of the strongest Vampires in Vampiria. But I do not necessarily mean beating you as in defeating you in the battlefield. After every match, his comments of you being "annoying" and "weak" constantly get you down. No more! Instead, leave him no excuse to call you weak. Go at him with everything you've got. And his remarks of your annoyance will not beat you down! If he calls you such, simply brush it off and walk away. There is no reason for you to take his comments to heart anymore. You. Are. Getting. Over. Him.
11. Replace Each of his "grunts" with something else in your mind. It can be pretty infuriating when you pour out your heart and soul to this man, and all you get in return is a lousy grunt. Therefore, whenever he deems it fit to reward the conversation with one of his "Hn's" take it upon yourself to (in your mind, for you do not want to seem like a lunatic) replace the grunt with something else. For example: Hn= I'm a pretty girl. Or Hn = I enjoy dancing in my green jumpsuit that I received from my boyfriend last Christmas. Or Hn= I'm gay etc.
12. Feel free to flirt or date whenever you want to. If a young man asks you on date or shamelessly flirts with you, feel free to return the favor. Before, when you were in love with Henry, you would consider this unfaithful and unnecessary. But now that you have made the choice to let go of your infatuation, it is still unnecessary but the fact is that you are now free to enter the great, big world of dating. (I heard James available). This also demonstrates to the Fitzroy that you are over him.
13. If the man ever insults you, ignore him. Why on earth should you sit down and take it? You are a strong woman and he has no right to put you down! If he does, counter it with an equally scathing remark and then proceed to give him the cold shoulder. It's high time for him to stop assuming that, just because you WERE in love him, he has the right to insult you as much as he wants, without suffering the consequences!
14. If by any chance he flirts with you. Ignore him and hurt his ego. For example, if he comes close, pull a face and offer him gum. This will unbalance his ego and show your not interested.
15. Hate him. Act like you hate him and are no longer after his affection.
16. Don't hang out with him often. Even if we go to those meetings and parties etc you don't always want to be hanging around because you might look like an annoying bug that's always around and never goes away which in our case is not true. Do ignore him sometimes. If he is looking only at you, try to share your thoughts. eg. You are in a boring class, using your facial expression and pulled a face at the teacher then looking back at him and smile. Sharing these intimate moments makes him know your just a friend.
17. Walk in front of him. It may be very simple, but it works. Don't look at him. Make him feel invisible and that you no longer love him. Make him feel like you do all the time in his presence.
18. Take it upon yourself to help set up the Fitzroy with another deserving woman. God knows he has a boundless amount of fan girls around Vampiria. Make it your goal to set him up with one. By doing this, you are teaching yourself to grow accustomed to the fact that he will be free to date another girl. You have moved on. You don't care WHO he goes out with. It also shows him that he needs to get a move on the whole "rebuilding his clan" endeavor, because, you being a prime example, his fan girls won't be there forever.
19. Burn this list and continue the steps over and over again. You have learned all you can from this piece of paper. It is time you put it aside and continue on your own. You must be able to keep your head high and go out there without any list to fall back on. YOU ARE ELAZABETH SANTIAGO AND YOU DO NOT LOVE HENRY FITZROY ANY LONGER!
Congratulations! If you managed to complete each and every one of these 19 steps, you have successfully gotten over the cold hearted bastard! Enjoy your new life of freedom and independence! (If you have not completed these steps and failed miserably...then...You are basically doomed to live a life of rejection, sorrow and stress for eternity till your staked. Have a good day!)
