Cupid's POV

Crap! My diary is missing.

It's the one I had gotten only a few weeks ago with pink faux leather spine and pages dipped in gold at the corners.

But the price of that thing – nor the fact that it was absolutely the most beautiful book I had ever seen – was not important, no. What made me freak out so was the fact that I had written my fantasies about Dexter. I had come clean over him, so if anyone were to probe me about my past…? Ugh, I don't even want to think about it! So who could've taken it?

I saw Raven and Dexter at class today. Raven… even though I don't envy her for Dexter anymore, I still wish I could be more like her. She had amazing jet black hair, all straight and shiny (unlike my pink, well, it is a pretty pink, but curly hair which took at least half an hour each day to get in place) hair, and a very mature figure. She looked very grown up as well. She was everything a guy needed… everything Dexter did…

Ok, shut up Cupid, you're over him, remember?

Yep, I think I'm fine now.

I sighed and went into the Castleteria. The Wonderlandians were sitting at their usual table, along with Daring. Daring and Lizzie had announced their (now not) secret relationship just last week, and now they were making out in public.

"Yoo hoo, Cupid!" someone called. I turned and saw it was Kitty. Kitty Cheshire?

I went over to the Wonderlandians, just as Alistair was leaving with an angry expression on his face. Well, that's weird. Alistair is usually very zen, not easily upset. He glanced at me with his deeper-than-wonder-blue eyes before walking away.

"Oh, so glad you're here, Cupie." Kitty snickered. "Dear Diary, I saw Dexter at Chemythstry today. He did a presentation on the spelliodic table today and…"

I froze. So Kitty was the one who stole my diary?

"Hey everyone! Cupie loves Dexter Charming!" Kitty yelled.

Every eye in the Castleteria was centered on me.

"I do not!" I shouted, my faced red.

Kitty stared at me with her blue feline eyes. "Why are you dreaming about Dexter Charming anyway? I thought you were over him and Raven going out. They make a lovely couple. Besides, Raven is much better than a stupid myth like you!"

My heart ached. Images flashed in front of my eyes. I had been an outcast at Monster High after Cleo started bullying me for being 'nothing but a stupid myth'. I had starved myself until the plumage in my wings all fell out until there were nothing but bones left. Being 'nothing but a stupid myth' was the reason I left Monster High.

I couldn't hold it no longer. I turned from laughing the Wonderlandians, everything in front of my eyes blurring into a teary mess, and towards the exit. Humphrey was on my way and we smashed into each other, and I went flying until a pair of firm arms grabbed me. He held me close. I gasped. Only then did I realize that it was Alistair Wonderland, the only Wonderlandian who hadn't laughed at me.

"Cupid, it's alright." He said in a hushed voice in my ears. I broke down to tears. Alistair pressed me into him and stroked my back. Oh my gosh how does that guy know exactly what a girl needs? Just then, I saw Dexter Charming approaching the Castleteria. Ugh –
