As much as I wanted, I couldn't get that scene out of my head. How could I have been such an idiot? Why didn't I fight Chad? She didn't deserve it. I had already managed to help her in chemistry class, why this time I did not move? She had already apologized even without being guilty. I wanted to say that she shouldn't worry and try to comfort when Chad called me and I just could not.

Now, here lying in my bed, I can't understand why. After all, if I had faced a teacher for her, why not a friend? I mean, I don't even think that he was anymore. When we were kids we got along just fine, but as we were growing up, he became little more what he is today: a self-centered spoiled. Maybe for fear of losing friends, or who knows deep down, I think just like them that she is bad. How could a girl like her want something with me?

No! I soon pushed that thought away from me. We had known each other for short time, but I was sure she wasn't bad. It's obvious that I have a crush on her, and that we get a little blind when we are like this, but I knew her. She could have given up chemistry, but she didn't. She could have done something against Chad, but she chose to let it go. He, the kind, couldn't do the same. Evie, oh yes she is a good person, just didn't have a good references. How could we blame her?

Oh, that moment when I met her! Certainly the fairest of them all, as she said in one of her blouses. Maybe even her mother envied her, because she was prettier than Aunt Snow. Her smile was so charming and her voice so incredibly sexy. How could anyone be so incredible like that?

Of course, that was a completely superficial evaluation. Thankfully we had chemistry class together, we could sit next to each other and get to know better. Since nothing is perfect, the Biggest jerk in the land was also there. He took full advantage of her and betrayed her. She didn't deserve that, certainly not.

Another reason to hate even more her mother. Ever since I was little I heard the story of how the Evil Queen had tried to kill Snow White just by mere whimsy and pure jealousy. The Evil Queen almost destroyed the life of a sweet and incredible person, besides everyone around who loved Snow White, like my father. They all judged Evie, but she suffered the same. Her mother turned her into a prince hunter, as if she could only be happy with one. Besides, the Evil Queen said that her appearance was everything and that intelligence kept the boys away. Can you believe?

I smile as I remember her first good note. She appeared behind me showing the test. "For the first time, it's like that I'm more than just a pretty face" She didn't know how much! Her heart was pure, she always me laugh and was extremely intelligent. It was amazing to be able to show her that, to help her realize that she can do anything by herself. But now...

I get out of bed to wash my face, but it's no use. The shame I feel won't wash out with the water, the image of her sad and disappointed face will stay in my mind forever. How could she forgive me if I had betrayed her friendship? It wouldn't surprise me if she never looked at me again. Congratulations Doug! You ruined everything.

When I leave the bathroom still drying my face, someone knocks on the door. Great! Seeing someone now was all I needed.

"Come in" I scream as I sit on the desk chair.

"Hey, Doug? Are you ready to annoy those idiot villains?" Chad says entering the room and I feel my blood boil. I guess I've never felt so angry like this.

"What's your problem Chad? Is not enough the tumult you made earlier?"

"Hey!" He says with a mocking smile. "You are stressed? What's it? You're not going to tell me that you feel sorry for that gang. Ohh, it's the girl, Evie, isn't it? Doug, she is bad just like her mother. I got to play with her and it was great, you don't have to be sorry..."

He couldn't finish the sentence because I punched him in the looks at me like that is some kind of joke and smiles.

"You must be spelled! Or you are an asshole. You know what? I think it's the second option. She must have been the first girl to have talked to you, so that's why you have a crush on her. She is playing with you Doug! She'll let you go when you least expect it and she'll laugh at you, because that's what she does. She flirts with the person to get what she wants and then dismiss.

"Just like you did with her?" I say trying to control my anger. My will was to hit him until he stopped saying so many bad things. "You say she's a villain, but it' you who behave like one"

"You're saying this because you are jealous!Because I'm a prince and you're not!" I give a bitter laugh when he says that.

"Prince? Only in the title. I was taught that a prince should be kind, courageous, generous and should look after his own, never do bad things to another. You are not like that. You use the fact of being a real successor to disdain others, take advantage of people, and never do anything for them. And still not very smart. Do you still cry to Mom asking her to talk to the teacher to help you?"

"You can say whatever you want!" He says trying to look confident, but I see he's already shaken by the things I said. "You may even have this girl as a girlfriend, but always remember that she wanted me first. And that I kissed hidden several times by the school..."

Every word of him seemed like it was cutting my heart with a sword. Kisses? I think Evie wouldn't do that, even I went out a couple of times, but did she actually kiss Chad? Just the image makes my stomach flip.

"Get out of my room now!" I scream, sitting on the chair. I already felt exhausted with this whole situation.

"What? Did you think she wouldn't do that? That she's a saint? She doesn't cares about nothing, not even you"

"Out!" I scream even louder, but he seems to feel stronger.

"Is he bothering you, Doug?" I see Jay appear in front of me. I think I've never been so happy to see this guy. I see the wicked grin on Chad's face disappear as he slips away. After the first game, no one there wanted to get into a fight with Jay.

"Thank you" I say rubbing my head. "What did you come here for?"

"Well, I came here to fight with you" Jay says pounding his fist and my heart speeds up.

"Okay, I deserve it. Just be careful with my arm, because I need him to play my instrument and..."

"No, man. Relax! I heard your conversation. I was going to hit you for having hurt Evie. She is like a sister to me, her pain is also my pain, and I don't like to feel pain"

"And why did you give up?"

"I heard your conversation. I saw how you defended my friend, and I'm very happy about that. You're not a nerd asshole"

"Ohh, thank you" I say smiling and he smiles too.

"You made a big mistake, huh"

"I know" I say looking at my shoes ashamed. "How is she?"

"Pretty bad. She cried a lot, she's heartbroken. She expected that from anyone except you"

"I can imagine" I try to swallow, but his words seem to be stuck in my throat. It hurts. "Do you think she can ever forgive me?"

"Maybe" He says thoughtfully. "If I were on the Isle, I'd say no. But here she became another person, thanks to you too. Well, I heard everything you said, so I trust you. I know you deserve her love"

"Love? Did she say she loves me?" I ask curious. Is it that strong?

"Easy boy. That kind of love I'm not so sure, but she definitely likes you very much"

"And I like her too"

"So get up from that chair, and I'll help you fix all this"

"Really?" I say lifting and hugging Jay.

"Yes, but without so much sentimentality. You keep it to her because girls like that" He says rolling his eyes and I feel extremely grateful. Finally I had a second chance and I didn't want to ruin everything this time.
