Chapter 12 - Revisions (2/2)
”...”
”Haha... Mickey must be joking! I am nowhere near a '10', surely you don't need me to sub in!” I fake smiled.
”You are rich, you are mouldable, you are smart enough. I have already been given approval from your father, so I am sure you can sub in just fine.” Her words were calm, but the intention was aggressive.
”F.U.C.K YOU! Do I look like I care? You think that I will throw away my freedom just because my father approved?” I said this with true passion, in all honesty, I have only been in this body for a day, I haven't even met Simon's father.
She held her composure without a minuscule amount of discomfort.
”Simz... Why are you like this?” She started to show some emotions of sadness.
”You already promised! Five years ago you promised that if I could break into novice, you would take me as your fiancé! Four years ago you annulled that promise and said that I needed to break into beginner! This year... I broke into half-step elite, I am so far ahead. You promised that if you can't find a '10' or else you would surely fulfill my wish! AND NOW YOU ARE GOING BACK ON YOUR F.U.C.K.I.N.G WORD?!”
I was taken aback by her words, this plot hole that I left has turned into this mess. I wrote Simon, I dint write this. I didn't know that Simon had made this promise, and now I have to fulfil it for him? AM I A JOKE TO YOU?
Michelle let out a single tear from her left eye, unable to hold it back. I looked at her as I started to feel guilty.
I am trapped, there is no way out.
I was checkmated at the start.
”...”
”Mickey, you do realise that I am only C-class... I know that you want-”
”No. Will you or will you not?” She held in more tears, about to finally give out. I know for sure, that this girl is different to the one I wrote in my novel. She was introduced after the siege where Simon died, she was much more arrogant and domineering, but now she is here, broken.
I discreetly entered the system shop.
”I am sorry for what I've put you through Mick...”
”Are you?”
She started walking forward, and I started walking backwards. She looked me right in the eyes, I couldn't look away.
PLOP
I fell back onto my bed. She continued and crawled on top of me, restraining my hands with hers.
”I can do anything to you right now, and you wouldn't be able to do anything. I AM THIS STRONG BECAUSE OF YOU! I AM ALONE BECAUSE OF YOU!”
”Simon, you really know how to play a girl.”
I looked her straight in the eyes, I am done. Even though none of this is my fault, as an author, I must take responsibility for this mess.
I took out a small container from my pocket and opened it in front of her.
”Oh my...”
It was none other then my last minute purchase: a custom made golden ring.
There was no end to crying that night.
At the very least, I know that I am in unfamiliar territory. I can make as many jokes as I want, but I can never be careless. I don't even know this much about myself.
F.u.c.k you, me.
How in the world did my novel get so popular in the first place? Even though I was such a shitty author...
Well, I am no author. I am now Simon, a C-class Haven student. So I guess this is my do-over. Just 2 days, and I have now realised how bad I am at writing.
'Why write it when I can live it?'
