My way

It's been a week since I warned Mella to watch her back. Well you could say I always get what I want. My whole idea here was to get back at Mella for what she did. The whole week I've been silent while I've been the talk of the gossip in the school but I really don't mind anymore.

Keep your enemies close, I practically made a deal with one of my worst enemies here to get everything I need and you could say I did my research. Suddenly it occurs to me and I start wondering why Brian my all time sworn enemy will agree to give me everything I need to get back at Mella. I scan my mind for anything and everything then a scene occurs in my mind. 'He is in love with her and he looks at me as a competition so he is trying to completely ruin my chances with her'. I chuckle at that, maybe I could use that against him someway. The thought that he thinks I could fall for my other sworn enemy makes me laugh but again the thought of him having her is quit unappealing so I decide to ruin both our chances with her.

Well, as I always state, I am a man of my own mind and thinking. The agreement was I don't include Brian in any of these but plans do change right? To make sure he never has Mella, I actually am not jealous, she may be a little hot headed mess but I believe she deserves someone better. Just like you? My inner self finally decides to reason with me. I begin to wonder where it has been all this long. To begin with the day I decided Jade Was the love of my life, sleeping around to all those number of times I did the worst of things like possessing drugs and getting caught to annoy my parents.

I decide to include him in most of the plan. Keep your friends close but your enemies even closer, I smile at the say deciding that the person who thought it through should to be gifted a trophy and the latest BMW in town.

Soon I catch up with Brian in form four East class and discuss the final details then I head to my bed to join Mella in her dreamland knowing tomorrow, I am going to be her worst nightmare.

Reaching my bed, I jump in, in an attempt to sleep but Jake jumps in beside me ready to feed me in on the latest. I try to lift my head up and tell him we will talk tomorrow but my head feels heavy and soon I fall asleep without noticing.

Suddenly I find myself in a very dark place. I look around and wonder how I got here before looking up and seeing all my friends from my former school laughing at me as I sink deeper and deeper into the darkness. I strive and try to get out but they just laugh at me as they watch without doing a single thing to help. As I call out to them for help, they part and give way for Jade my ex girlfriend.

"Jade, help me please, " I yell as my voice grows weaker and weaker. She puts out her hands for me to take and pulls me towards the light. I stand at the edge and soon she takes all the things I have including my phone before throwing me back in and laughing evilly.

Back to square one, I strive again refusing to let the darkness consume me. As I am just about to give up, I see a glimpse of light down a corridor and ran towards it. As soon as I reach it, I see Mella standing there and looking at me with a smile on her face. She gives me her hand to take, at first I hesitate but finally take it then she pulls me into the light. I give a deep sigh of relief and when I am about to thank her, I look around and she is gone.

"Mella, " I yell and look around then I look ahead to see her being consumed by a much darker darkness. I try to reach out for her but my body refuses to move. I cry out in pain as I push myself to the limits and just as I am about to take her hand, she slips away from my arms making me cry in pain. Suddenly, I hear someone shaking me gently and am brought back to the real world.

As I adjust to my environment, I realise it is Jake sitting next to me with a worried face. " What happened man? " I ask looking at him. " Well, I should be the one asking you that. " he says raising a brow at me. " I am here pouring my heart to you on the latest and there you are calling Mella out in your dreams and saying something like don't go, where was she going? " he asks me putting on a smile.

"Aah, the dream. " I groan and look at Jake who is looking at me expectantly, " it is nothing, I just had a bad dream. Yeah and it involved Mella, she wanted to embarrass me in everyone's presence in the dinning hall, so I was asking her not to. " I decide to lie to him knowing he won't let this one rest until he hears an explanation.

He looks at me intently then sighs, if he notices am lying big time then he just decides to let it slip. "Are you sure that was it because I don't really think that would make a bad boy like you all sweaty and scared, I mean she did embarrass you before and you never gave a dime? " his eyes seems to be burning into me and accusing me of lying but being not ready to talk about this, I just answer yes that's about it.

" So what were you trying to feed me on when I fell asleep?" I ask looking at him with tired eyes. "Well I think the big boy is up to something, I noticed that lately he has been staring at you with this kind of evil eyes and I don't like it one bit," he says and sighs. "Oh, are you sure you are not just seeing things, I mean I have not rubbed shoulders with him lately." Then it occurs to me, Mella, it's all about her, so I was right but don't worry big boy, you are in for surprises.

I take some time to convince Jake that everything is okay then he sets off to go to sleep. Tomorrow is just another new day so I go to sleep with the new found energy.
