I wasn't like this, i was a believer of Love. I love with my whole heart , with all sincerity and honesty. I gave my all- body and money to him. I thought he was the one. My First and only love. The father of my unborn children.
It all started when we were peered in the same group for the Mid-semester hangout. It happened that i was grouped with Simon, Ajib and Rose. Since Rose and i are friends, i was glad to be grouped with her. Ajib has been my class mate since Elementary school, though we seldom talk , i can say we are cool. Simon was the New guy in school. Every girl wanted to be seen around him. He receives lots of attention and he bask in it every day.
"Simon will never be a problem since i know how to hide and be unseen even when present physically " i said to myself with a smile.
"What!" Someone shouted
I fell down and look up embarrassed at the person i hit while thinking about Simon. Guess what! Looking up the person staring down at me- was Simon himself. Crowds gathered and i saw the gossip girls murmuring and whispering to each other with smiles.
"Tell me how on earth someone can be this beautiful?" Simon shouted out loud to the crowd.
I looked around to see who he is talking to, because I'm as sure as daybreak that it can't be me. I looked at the faces and they were as surprised as i was.
With his hands offered to me he said "I'm Simon and i assume you are Claire my group mate. I must say -i thought this outing will be long and boring, but with you by my side i'm having second thought"
This is the height of it!. I went pink. Please somebody wake me. This must be a dream.
"Claire wake up from your sleep" i said to myself silently
"What did you say?" Simon queries
"Oh! Nothing -thanks" i said accepting the offered hand.
The crowd dispersed but so many eyes left with a scornful look directed my way, while some were of curiosity.
Together we went down to the Hall where the HOD is expected to address us. As we were about to enter, Simon placed his arm around my shoulder. It came as a Surprise that i jolted with shock.
"Should i remove my hands?"
"No" i replied shyly
We entered the hall and as expected all eyes were on us.
"Do you know you're like an holiday" he whispered into by eye .
I raised my brow in confusion.
"...because people look forward to seeing you with joy"
I can swear that my heart was being with joy at a rate of Hundred meters per seconds. I blushed from head to toe. Till Today i still wonder how such weak lines could get me.
Check out my sponsors-they've got so many interesting and educating articles
Even if he recites the alphabets i will still take it as a compliment. Because at this stage i was already heads over heels in love with him. Someone i haven't spoken to since the semester started, yet in less than an hour i am already in love with him. I was so foolish. So stupid and naive.
Throughout the HOD'S speech we were throwing glances at each other, smiling and whispering. My friend Rose was shocked to see me talking to the Hottest guy in school.
"Claire what was that about"she said to me immediately after we left the hall.
"I don't know what you are talking about" i replied with feigned ignorance.
"Don't play that game with me. I'm sure you know what i mean"
"Okay, it is what is it. I think I'm in love with Simon and he loves me too"
"Simon?- Love you? How?"
"He hasn't confessed his love to me, but he said i'm beautiful and that he likes me"
"And you believed him?"
"Hey, stop it there Rose!. Don't be Jealous because the Guy you can only dream about having, chose me over you and every other girl in this school. Can't you just be happy for me and-"
Rose left me mid-way through my Rant with a looked of Disappointment. I felt bad for what i said and was tempted to run after her and apologise, but my ego and blind love stood in the way.
"She can go. So far i have simon ,he is enough for me. I need no fake friends". I thought. Only if i had known better.
Both i and Simon went out on dates. Skipped lessons. And it was one of the happiest moments of my life.
The relationship between Jane and I got strained to the extent that it was just "hi" we owed each other each morning. But do i care? No.
Simon never asked me to be his girlfriend, but we started our relationship with mutual understanding. I relate my fears to him , my deepest secrets and aspirations were known to him. And he was always there to give a nice word or speech to boost my confidence.
We did so many things couples do. Even took our bath together but never had sex. I made it known to him that what i wanted was "Celibacy dating" and will surely have me to himself on our wedding night.
He agreed and like a bull being led to the slaughter house i believed him.
The first dark cloud over our relationship was when i went round the halls looking for him. By now, everyone knew we were an "Item" and they all said they didn't see him. While heading back to my hall i met Jane and she said she saw him close to the Restroom. I went there and i saw what got me rotted to a spot.
I saw my "Darling Simon" there making out with Sandra one of the notorious Gossip girls in the female toilet. Hot tears fell without control from my eyes. I ran to my room with the speed of light.
In the evening he came in and gave me a kiss. I kept Quiet but after few minutes i confronted him.
"Simon why do you do this to me?"
"Do what?"
"Please stop the pretence- "
"What's wrong with you? I'm not pretending "
"I saw you with Sandra this afternoon. You guys were at it in the Toilet. In the fu**ing Toilet" i said with the tears pouring out again
"I was only there to help her with her zip"
"Simon!"
"Okay! Okay! I can't help it claire, I'm a man with needs and desires. If my girlfriend can't give me i have to look for it elsewhere- it's you i love, I'm only using those girls for sex"
"Those? So they are more than one"
"No, i mea-an -" he stuttered
"If i give in to your request, will you leave those girls?" I asked foolishly
"Yes I'll baby- it's you i love. Since you are the mother of my unborn children, there's nothing Bad in having a taste now" he said.
That night i gave in to him. It hurt but i was glad I'm pleasing my man and securing what is mine.
Now he won't look at other girls. The next day i was awaken with him opening my gown. He wanted more and i gave him. It became something constant and i readily spread my legs to him.
But rather than stop chasing other girls. Simon got worse, he went for anything in skirt. I once caught him trying to force himself on Rose. I was too ashamed to go to her. I left with annoyance, regrets and pain.
I put up with Simon's misadventures and pretended as if I'm oblivious to things he does with other girls and even one of the janitors.
"Someday he will change" i kept on saying to myself each time.
Getting back to school i planned to sit him down and have a conversation with him. But getting to the class i saw him making out with my Sister. My own sister!. To say i was broken is an understatement. Something in me Died. I went numb. I was shocked beyond tears.
I woke up at the School Medical centre. Tears kept on falling from my eyes. Indescribable pain weighed me down. Right there on the bed i took a decision. A decision that turned me into what i am today. A MONSTER.
So many guys fell victim to my trap and sword. I dealt with them all mercilessly. The once gentle and kind Claire turned into the Devil's instrument. I crushed every man i came across. I get scared of myself sometimes too.
Today, i sit in my cell waiting for the warden to come for me. In few hours time i will face the firing squad. For the last time i looked back at my friends and families who were there to say Goodbye. Dad wasn't around. He has long disown me when news of my exploits was spreading all over Town.
Simon caused this. He deceived me, lied to me, turned me into a monster. I feel cheated . Life is unfair and above all i hate myself for falling for such person- a Cheater!
I'm the one facing the punishment. Simon is the reason i am here. Yet he roam about with confidence. The last i heard of him- he was married with kids. I shouldn't Die alone. He was the last guy on my list. I wasn't able to get to him before the law enforcers caught me. I feel Cheated!
THE END!!!
