It was so easy when it came to love. The girls were so stupid to believe that he loved or even liked them. They did not know that he just wanted to have something they had. And he really loved playing this game. Nobody knew that it was him who broke all their hearts. Tom sat on the computer and played the virtual game again. It was like 'The Sims' but not as harmless and it was possible to chat with other people and to interact with them. It just made everything easier for him. His current target was Helena Ravenclaw, the daughter from the famous jeweller Rowena Ravenclaw. He read in an old newspaper about the missing diadem and he wanted to have it as soon as the photo caught his eyes. It was easy to get her attention, Tom had studied her for a long time and he knew exactly what to say to make her fall in love with him. But it was getting annoying after three months and he still did not have any clue about the lost diadem. He was fed up with her shit but he could not risk being rude so he had to play the game.
–You know, I must not talk about it but...you heard about the lost diadem from my mother, right?–
This was getting interesting now and he was wide awake when he read this.
–I heard that there was a diadem but as you already said, it is lost. Why do you talk about it? It is lost and I could not care less about a diadem.–
–It's not lost! This is what I wanted to talk to you about. Remember? I keep it hidden under my bed because so many people want to have it. It is easier when they think that it is lost so nobody will search here.–
"You're so sweet...and so stupid."
He whispered and a sly smirk covered his lips. It was a stupid plan because nobody was able to fool Tom. But for the rest...it would be safe soon. Now that he knew it was still there and that Helena got it.
–I am sorry, I do not want to sound rude but...I really do not care about this crown. I like you because of who you are. Not because of a crown.–
He knew that she blushed and giggled like a stupid teenage girl. That he did not mean anything he wrote was only something he knew and nobody else. Tom arranged a meeting in the park so they could meet for real. He had to play the game for just a few more weeks until he would own the diadem. Nothing would stop him anymore.
