LESLIE ALDRIN:
I hate Nick.
And it's not just about him, I hate everyone related to the Roerig family.
Well everyone, except my Eric!
Sometimes I really wish to hate him too alongwith others but I just can't. The moment he walks before my eyes, I just fall in love with him all over again.
He is so hot and happening. The beautiful devil with a strong temper, can you even blame me for falling in love with a handsome hunk like him?
I fell in love with him even before I knew the meaning of love, I wanted to be his first date, his first dance, his first girlfriend, his first love, his first kiss and his first sex too.
But, my bitch of a sister took all his firsts!
And She had to die for stealing my Erickson from me!
And so will the other girls who would dare to lay their eyes on my man.
~~
After what Nick did to Ruth, being so naive and innocent that she really is, I knew she would go whining to her dad's office trying to get Nick rusticated from school.
How I wish if that was even possible but damn! Why was he even adopted by David Uncle. He could have been left off to die alone. He had the little money his family left him to live off with!
Argh!! I hate that Doherty!
It was all because of his existence that I wasn't going to become Mrs. Erickson Roerig. If only he wasn't here, Eric would have been all mine!
I walked upstairs to the office and just a few steps closer and I heard the hoarse husky voice of my man which drives me insane all over!
"Deseo que tu padre no se las arregle para devolverme el dinero de alguna
manera..."
Eric, My Love!
But wait, what is he talking about?
Whose father?! What pay back?!
Yeah, I know Spanish. I learnt every bit of this language because spanish was Eric's thing since he was a little boy. His mom, Amelia Roerig was from Spain and knew only spanish when she was brought here by David Uncle.
Eric really loved his mother, so he had learnt that language and uses it whenever he is too full of emotions inside him. The happy ones or the sad ones.
I met Eric when he and I were both were ten years old. After I came to know that spanish is his thing I spent my entire days and nights learning this language so, I could grow more closer to him.
This is just how hard I have done my homework after him, trying to get his attention even for once! Why doesn't he look at me?!
I peaked in closer to see who was he talking to and was stopped on my feet as soon as I realised it was Ruth and Eric, standing so close to each other.
"Porque lo que puedo tener a cambio... es bastante emocionante ahora."
What?!
Does he want to have her in exchange of all the money her father owes him?
He leaned closer into her face, Ruth closed her eyes waiting for my man to kiss her. Eric too looked at her, only her.. As if she was the only face he wants to stare at all through his eternity.
I clenched my fist, my sharp nail digging into my palm and bite my jaw in anger controlling my angry tears which were threatening to fall.
That place was mine where my best friend was standing. He should be looking at me the way he is looking at her. As if she was made for her!
Ruth was my only friend, how could she do this to me?!
They didn't kiss. Eric had full chance to kiss her, Ruth had completely surrendered herself to him in that moment, but he didn't took it. It came as a relief to me but still, I knew by the look on his face that she had started to affect him the way I wanted to affect him.
Don't fucking look at her like that!!
Like she is the only thing you ever want to own, Erickson Roerig!
You're supposed to be FUCKING M.I.N.E.!!
He left from there and finally Ruth opened her eyes. She turned her head and watched him go, admiring that man.
I don't blame her for that though, Eric was worth turning heads to.
He is the reason I don't find any other man appealing enough! I can fuck anyone but at the end of the day, I still crave him, his one look, his one word of love and his one fucking smile.
Maybe I'm thinking a bit too much, Eric can never fall for a girl. He never has and never will.
Yup, I'm thinking too much. Ruth is my best friend. The only girl in Illyod High who came over and talked to me, who was nice to me. I really don't want to loose her as a friend just yet.
But if, what I doubt is even slightly proven to be true, I'll fucking show her a place even horrible than the god damn HELL!
~~
RUTH WALKER:
After what just happened here, I don't think I have the energy to go inside my dad's office and whine about Nick trying to bully me.
It feels like every other guy at Illyod High was starting to bully me suddenly!
I turned my head around and started to leave back to the last class in my schedule and saw Leslie standing at the end of the gallery all lost.
"Hey?"
I waived at her with enthusiasm and she looked up at me, seeming a little lost about something.
I ran back upto her to catch up with her.
"What are you lost about?" I asked.
"Nothing. uhh.. I saw you with a guy, and I was wondering if you were interested in him?" She said coldly.
Her tone was sharp as if she was hurting when she said that.
"Oh him? That guy was a jerk!" I scoffed.
"Aren't you meeting jerks a little too much today?" Leslie shot me a sarcastic smile. It was sarcastic smile but I thought I was imagining things.
"Oh believe me, I'm having worst kind of day today! Let's head back to classes. The one last lecture for the day is pending I guess!" I said walking along with her!
"You know what?" Leslie said suddenly turning her heads at me and smiled a naughty one.
"Let's screw classes this once. Let me buy you an ice cream! My treat!"
And I laughed along with her, turning a heads up to her plan.
~~
We were in the school canteen, having our ice creams. She had got herself a black currant and me a butterscotch.
We were giggling and bitching a few random girls passing through about their outfits and attitudes for a while when we both heard a group of girls giggling and gossiping about something.
"Oh my gosh, Erickson Roerig's fights are something I would even skip the entire college to watch" The girl in green t-shirt and hot pants says.
"Oh my gosh, yeah! He is so rough in the battlefield, he is such an eye candy" The other girl in red dress commented.
I heard girls and guys admiring the skills of some guy named Erickson Roerig, all fan girl-ing over him and turned my head at Leslie.
"Who IS Erickson Roerig?!"
She stopped with the licking of her black currant and stared at me like I had asked her the most weirdest question in the history of time.
"You don't know who ERICKSON ROERIG is?!"
"Umm, No?" I lift my brows and she scoffed.
"You just met him girl! The guy you were about to kiss near the principal's office?" She said, licking her ice cream more furiously, as if trying to control her rage over something.
"Ohkay... But he wasn't that hot for these girls to be moaning in orgasm everytime they took his name!" I said after I heard a girl taking his name over and over again as if she was moaning under him.
"You wouldn't say this if you just knew what is that man exactly like!" Leslie said getting over with her icecream, wiping away her fingers.
"Uh.. okay?" I wasn't sure about all of this but then she looked at me.
"You know what?" She grabbed onto my wrist and started dragging me along, "Come with me! Lemme show you how sexy that man is inside that ring!"
"Uhh.." I wasn't so sure about this. "I'm not really a fan of boxing matches Les!" I said trying to turn her down but she was off limits now, like a bullet from a pistol.
"Oh come on! I bet you if you didn't watch him in that ring, you would miss something worth watching!" She said, "You just cannot afford to miss the hot hunk!"
At this point, looking at the excitement printed all over Leslie's face, I just knew she wasn't just a fan girl if this guy called Eric.
She was crazily obsessed with him.
~~
When I walked inside the boxing club of the college the whole stadium was full of crazy crowd cheering and roaring out for Erickson Roerig.
"ERIC! ERIC! WHOOOOOHH!!"
I heard Leslie giving him a shoutout as loudly as she could in that moment.
She giggled at me shyly as I gave her the clueless stare about her shouting so madly. I know she is crazy about this guy now.
"Seems like you're quite a bit fond of this Eric guy!" I grinned.
"Well, Yeah. Like all the other girls at Illoyd, I'm crazy about him too. And trust me, I can tell you, my madness for him is in a next level than these people in here!" She winked slyly.
"I can see that!" I sighed.
"Well, Eric being Eric, he doesn't notice girls a lot. Heck he doesn't even spare a look at these crazy bitches. But I can tell you that he has noticed me, he knows my name amongst these blind crazy girls!" She stated proudly.
"I see." I mumbled taking long breaths, "So, is it like you two got a scene together or what?"
"I wish!" Leslie said, the anger and her hunger for the guy clearly visible in her dark blue orbs, "My dad is a very close friend to the Roerig's. We have grown up together, until Uncle David decided to get me betrothed to Nicholas instead of Eric!"
"So, you didn't oppose his orders?" I asked her a little confused.
"Eric doesn't love me!" She finally said folding her arms against her chest looking forwards towards the roaring crowd.
"It's just me throwing myself on his feet so he would at least spare me a look. Hoping for him to love me like I'm his one last love!"
She said and seeing her dedication to this one sided affection she had for this Eric guy, I really feel for her... I feel bad for Leslie.
I hate it when people do not end up with their love.
~~
A full moment later the roaring inside the boxing club went to a whole another level, not only the girls were shooting out loudly, even the guys were all going insane about him.
I seriously wonder what is so good about him?
Just then, I spotted a shirtless tattooed red headed guy entering inside the room and the cheering went even louder.
"That's my boy, my man, Erickson Roerig!" Leslie said, with her face turned a deep shade of red, "Isn't he the hottest guy with a tough look you've ever seen live before your eyes?"
She was a fan!
A die hard fan!!
I looked at Leslie and then at the guy. Erickson Roerig a.k.a Eric! The same kiddo who was giving my dad a hard time in his office a few hours ago?
"Uhh.. yeah!" I said with my eyes going big, sarcastically.
"Aw, come on! Isn't he sexy as fuck??" Leslie rolled her eyes on me again.
"Yeah... I don't know. I don't really like him!" I pierced my gaze watching his face, making Leslie to pout. Just then he suddenly looked at me.
Our eyes met!
He looked at me with those eyes, having something so creepy and fascinating in them. He touched his lips watching me.
He was watching ME ?!
Maybe not me. Perhaps I was imagining things but his glare was directed right at me.
"I don't know if he is sexy or not, but he sure is the creepiest guy I've ever seen alive before myself!"
I said taking my eyes off of his scary dark green ones.
~~
"Hey Les!" One of the guy just walked in and wrapped his arms around Leslie's waist and grabbed her close against himself and kissed her lips.
His hands roamed all over her breasts and ass as he kept exploring her tongue and her mouth.
Something was really weird about this girl. I know she is my friend and I shouldn't say that about her but she totally gives me a slut vibe
Any random guy can come and kiss her and she doesn't opposes at all. She has no boyfriend and have sex whenever she wants, wherever she wants and whoever she wants with.
She seemed really crazy like that.
After kissing Leslie, feeling all the curves of her body the guy smirked at me lustfully.
"Hey Ruth?" He threw me a dirty smirk approaching forwards towards me and just took a few steps backwards
"Uh.. no!" I said it stern and he shrugged, backing off.
"Alright, so who are you betting for by the way, Les?" The boy asked, grabbing her waist again, his fingers exploring her hairs.
"Ofcourse Eric!" She wrapped her arms around his neck, staring back into his eyes, "There ain't no point in voting for the other dude here. We all know my Eric would win."
I really wonder how she claims Eric as hers only and fucks every other moving guy!
"I don't understand why do these lame stupid guys even challenge him inside the ring in the first place?"
Leslie said totally disgusted and I looked over at the ring, for the second, changer guy to enter.
"And here's to our brave challenger JOEY BENNETT!"
I heard the announcement and took a brief look at Joey's body!
And then, the Eric guy took off his shirt and I peaked at his six pack abs.
The challenger guy definitely had more muscles and puffed up body physique than Eric.
Then why were people all betting on Eric and not on Joey?!
"But uhm, Don't you think Joey has a better body than Eric?" I said out of nowhere.
The guy with Leslie scoffed and scanned me from head to toe, "Have you ever seen Eric in the ring, newbie?"
"Uhm.. no..!" I said.
"Then you won't know!" He shrugged and started to explain further,
"He is not only a champion at school, but he is an overall champion. He is the best. When in tenth grade, he went to represent Illyod college in international boxing championship and knocked out the strongest competitor from Han's University, Japan, giving Illyod High a victory on an international level in boxing."
"Even the best guys in college couldn't stand against him in tenth grade, we are talking two years later now and Joey is not even a boxer in anyway!" He continued, making fun of Joey's bravery.
"Oh, he is gonna be a dead meat until the end of this fight!" Leslie said laughing like a sadist.
"So, umm, do people loose their lives in these fights too?" I asked gulping.
"It all depends on Eric! The challenger does sign the papers, that if he is killed during the fight going on, it's gonna be nobody's fault but if Eric got really pissed of at the challenger in an ongoing fight, he can deliberately kill the challenger too!" Leslie said, by the time she finished, I could feel my goosebumps.
"You can't really trust Erickson Roerig with his temper, you know?"
I looked up at the ring and saw him seared near the edge, with all the staff massaging his muscles. My heart was racing, I don't understand why and I just gulped when he suddenly turn his head to look at me, his eyes locked with mine.
I knew in that moment that this guy was someone who can creep you even in your sleep.
He was ERICKSON ROERIG.
Soon to be my horrible nightmare.
"Eric is just awesome in his own ways, you know?" Leslie said smiling, her eyes on Eric admiring him whole.
I don't like the fact that these people in here have already made up their minds and have decided the outcome of this game already.
At least they should appreciate the fact that the other guy was trying to challenge him.
If he was challenging him completely aware of the fact that he was an international champion, then he must
have got at least anything up his sleeves to try and defeat him in the battlefield.
