You must be crazy!” Maya’s voice rose another pitch. He winced. Second note
to self: call Gucci to see
if they made earplugs.
“I don’t want your
stupid jet. Or clothes. Or
jewels—“ To emphasize her point,
she yanked the diamond-and-ruby
necklace off her neck. “I
want to go home. And I
want you to leave.Me.
Alone!” “This hard-to-get the game
i'm getting a bit old,” he
snapped. “If you didn’t
want to be my girlfriend, then why did
you do everything?”
Maya glared at him. “I
have no idea what
you’re talking about.”
He sighed. “Obviously,
the only reason you
yelled at me at the
party and withstood all
the students’ abuse
was to stand out and
get my attention!”
Her jaw dropped, and
she slowly shook her
head, a disbelieving look
on her face. “I always
knew you were an
arrogant blockhead, but
I never knew you were
delusional too! Listen to
me, and listen to me
good, Roman Fiori. I
don’t want to be your
girlfriend, and I never
will! I yelled at you
because you are a
heartless egomaniac
who needs someone to
put him in his place, and
I managed to withstand everything
you put me through
because I’ll be damned
before I let someone
like you ruin my future!”
Roman was stunned.
“Why are you being so
difficult?” he demanded
angrily. “Any girl would
kill to be my girlfriend!
Besides, you’re a Westsider! You should
be begging to be with
me! I can give you all
the financial support--”
“Are you listening to
yourself? Do you know
what an ass you sound
like? I don’t need your
financial support. Just
because I’m a Westsider doesn’t
mean I want to be your
slave!” His narrowed his eyes. “Is it because you
already have someone?” For some reason, the thought made him even angrier. Maya threw up her hands. “Have you not been listening to a word I said? I don’t—“
“Actually, Rome, she
does.” Parker strode
calmly into the room,
draping an arm around
Maya’s shoulders.
“She’s my girlfriend
now.”

CHAPTER EIGHT
You tell me that you're
sorry
Didn't think I'd turn
around and say
That it's too late to
apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to
apologize, it's too late
~"Apologize" One
Republic
Sometimes, I wonder if
I’d been a murderer in
my past life or
something. Obviously, I
had to have racked up
some pretty bad karma
because my present-
day life officially sucks.
I unconsciously moved
closer to Parker as I
stared at Roman with
wide eyes, my previous
anger replaced by fear
at the look on his face. I
was surprised I didn’t
see steam pouring out
of his ears.
Unfortunately, the
small movement on my
part only seemed to
make him even angrier.
“Excuse me?” he ground
out, his voice low and
dangerous.
“She’s my girlfriend,”
Parker repeated, not
seeming to share any
of my personal terror at
all. He kept his arms
around my shoulders.
“Sorry,Rome, guess I
beat you to the punch
this time.”
I blanched. “Are you
crazy?” I hissed so that
only Parker could hear
me. “Now is not the
time to bait him.”
“Calm down,
sweetheart, it’ll be fine.
Unless you would rather
be his girlfriend
instead…”
I just glared at him.
Parker smirked. “That’s
what I thought.”
I was so caught up in
silently cursing every
Scion, including the
stupid person who’d
invented the word
Scion, that I didn’t
notice Roman
approaching until he
forcefully yanked
Parker’s arm away
from me.
“You didn’t beat to me
to anything,” Roman
snarled, his violet eyes
a near-black. “You two
aren’t really dating.”
I shot Parker a panicked
look. Was Roman
psychic?
“Of course we are.”
Parker did a very good
job of looking surprised.
“What makes you think
we aren’t?”
Roman’s eyes
narrowed. “You guys
barely even know each
other!”
“Au contraire, I just had
dinner at her house
yesterday,” Parker
replied calmly. “I also
met her family. They’re
quite lovely, I must say.
Now, since you are one
of my best friends, I
would appreciate it if
you gave us your
blessing and support—“
"Bullshit! You guys have
never even talked
before!"
"Not that you know of,"
Parker corrected calmly.
"Your game's slipping a
bit, Rome."
"Parker, you're my
friend, but you need to
shut the hell up!"
Parker stepped forward
and placed his hands on
Roman's chest to push
him back from me.
"Listen, Rome, I know
you're mad, but--"
And that was when
Roman hauled back his
fist and punched Parker
in the jaw.
"What are you doing?" I
screamed, running over
to Parker's side. "Oh my
god, Parker, are you
okay?"
He winced, rubbing his
jaw. "Yeah, I'll be fine."
I turned to Roman, my
own hands balling up
into fists. "What is
wrong with you? You
can't go around
punching people like
that! And you wonder
why I'm with Parker
and not you? He's a
great boyfriend--"
“Oh, now I get it.”
Roman glared at me.
“Guess you already
found someone to give
you the jewels and
clothes, huh? You work
fast, I’ll give you that.
Re: All I've Never Wanted... A Novella by Nobody: 9:18pm On Dec 29, 2014
***CONTINUES***
I’ve never been so
insulted in my entire life.
“Excuse me, but I’m
dating Parker because
he’s a genuinely good
person,” I declared,
straightening up and
staring Roman straight
in the face. “Which is
more than I can say for
someone else in this
room.”
“Genuinely good
person?” Roman
snorted. “You’re talking
about the biggest
player in town! He’s
been with every girl in
Valesca!”
“Thanks.” Parker
sounded touched. He
didn't seem to be all
that upset that one of
his best friends had
just punched him in the
face.
Roman and I both
ignored him.
“Although, now that I
think about it, that
probably means you’ve
been with him too.” His
lips twisted. “It makes
so much sense now.”
I couldn’t help but gasp.
Was he accusing me of
being a slut? “Shut up!”
I shouted, nearly blind
with rage as all my
previous anger came
flooding back. “God,
you’re such a dick!” I
threw the necklace I’d
taken off as hard as I
could at his chest and
impulsively stomped on
his foot—in my three-
inch heels.
To my immense
pleasure, Roman let out
a yelp of pain.
“And just so you know
—“ I pulled the torture
devices they called
Jimmy Choos off my
feet and threw them at
him too. “—I’m still a
virgin, asshole!”
Not completely
satisfied with impaling
his foot, and fueled by
my still considerable
rage, I slapped him
across the face for the
second time in a week,
the sound echoing in the
vast parlor, before
running out.
For some reason, I could
feel tears prickling the
backs of my eyes,
blurring my vision. It
shouldn’t have upset
me that he thought I
was so promiscuous,
but it did.
Fighting back a sob, I
ran blindly down the
hallway, not even sure
where I was going, but
knowing I needed to
get as far away from
Roman Fiori as possible.
********************
********************

********************
***********
Adriana stormed up the
stairs of the Fiori
mansion, her sound of
her stilettos on the
marble floor echoing like
gunshots in the
massive living room. She
pushed open the doors
to Roman’s room with
unnecessary force.
He looked up from the
video game he was
playing in surprise. “God,
Adri, could you be any
louder?” he asked,
sounding annoyed. “I’m
—“
Adriana stomped over
to him and gave him a
big, healthy whack on
the head.
“Jesus! What the hell?”
Roman yelled, rubbing
the back of his head.
“What was that for?”
“You know what it’s
for,” she snapped,
about to give him
another well-deserved
slap, although he
managed to evade it
just in time. “God,
Rome, what the hell
were you thinking?
Kidnapping Maya and
then bringing her here
and basically implying
she’s a slut? You’re a
total idiot!”
Roman’s face shut
down as he turned back
to his video game. “I
have no idea what
you’re talking about.”
“Don’t bullshit me.
Parker told me what
happened.”
“Oh, right, Parker,”
Roman said
sarcastically. “Everyone
believes Parker,
because he’s so
perfect.”
Adriana crossed her
arms over her chest.
“So what are you
saying? That he was
lying?”
Roman didn’t respond.
“That’s what I thought.
And you seriously need
to stop being jealous of
Parker and get over
yourself,Rome, or
you’re going to end up
with no friends. Not to
mention, you need to
apologize to Maya.
Re: All I've Never Wanted... A Novella by Nobody: 7:57am On Dec 30, 2014
***CONTINUES***
Roman snorted. “I’m
not jealous of Parker,”
he snapped. “Why
would I be jealous of
him?”
“Because Maya is dating
him and not you.”
“So? It’s not like I
would want to date
someone like her
anyway.”
Adriana rolled her eyes.
Sometimes, she
wondered why she
even bothered. “Well,
you’re the one who
brought her to your
house and basically
asked her to be your
girlfriend.”
Roman threw the
remote controller down.
“I didn’t ask her to be
my girlfriend, I was just
giving her a way out,”
he declared.
“Please. Just admit it.
She intrigues you, and
that’s the reason why
you want her to be your
girlfriend,” Adriana said
knowingly. “And judging
from the look of things,
it seems like you lost
the bet.”
Roman let out an
annoyed sigh. “What
the hell are you talking
about?”
“The bet. I said I could
find a girl in Valesca
who doesn’t care you’re
a Fiori. That girl is
Maya.”
A muscle ticked in
Roman’s jaw. “That’s
not true.”
“And de Nile is not just
a river inEgypt,” Adriana
countered.
“Seriously,Rome, you
like her, or at least,
you’re starting to like
her, and we both know
it. If you keep on acting
like such an ass,
though, you’ll never
have a chance with
her.”
A shadow crossed
Roman’s face. “She’s
dating Parker,
remember?”
Adriana tensed. “Well,
it’s Parker,” she said
nonchalantly. “You know
how he is.”
“Personally, I don’t see
the attraction,” Roman
muttered. “He’s a huge
player. I’m richer than
him. I’m better-looking
than him. What does he
have that I don’t?” He
sounded like a petulant
child.
Adriana snickered.
“You’re beginning to
sound like a girl,Rome.”
She tossed her golden
hair over her shoulder.
“Besides, like you said,
Parker’s a player. He
and Maya probably
aren’t that serious,
which means you still
have a chance.”
Roman eyed her
suspiciously. “Why do
you want me to get
together with her so
bad, anyway?”
She sighed. “You really
are dumb sometimes.
Because you are
completely insufferable
right now, and you need
a girl in your life to
make you a little less
insufferable. And
Maya’s the only one up
for the job. That is, if
you can somehow clean
up this horrible mess
that you've.”
“Whatever.” Roman
picked up the control for
his video game again.
“Just so you know, I’m
only intrigued by her.
That doesn’t mean I
like her.”
Adriana smirked. “Sure.
Whatever makes you
sleep better at night."
********************
********************
********************
********************
********************
***********
“Which of these
adjectives best
describes her?” The
butler, Richard, read
aloud from the
magazine in his hand.
“A. Dainty and feminine
—“
“Yeah, right,” Roman
snorted, toweling off
his hair, which was still
damp from the pool.
“No.”
“—B. quiet and shy. C.
friendly and outgoing, or
D. stubborn and willful?”
Roman pursed his lips.
“D. Definitely D.”
Richard marked off the
answer. “This is the
last question, Mr. Fiori.
Re: All I've Never Wanted... A Novella by Nobody: 8:00am On Dec 30, 2014
***CONTINUES***
I know, I know, just
ask it already,” Roman
said impatiently.
Richard cleared his
throat. “What qualities
do you admire most in a
girl? A. Intelligence. B.
Beauty, C. Compassion
—“
“What kind of dumb
quiz is this anyway?”
Roman demanded. “Who
would like a dumb, ugly,
mean girl?”
“Well, you were the one
who gave me this quiz,”
Richard murmured.
“What did you just
say?”
“Nothing,” the butler
replied innocently. He
resumed reading out
loud. “Like I was saying,
C. Compassion or D.
Talent.”
Roman tapped his
fingers on the table.
“Compassion,” he finally
answered. “Well? What
are the results?”
“I’m looking.” Richard
flipped to the back of
the magazine.
“Look faster!”
Richard sighed. He’d
been loyal to the entire
Fiori household since
before Roman was
even born, but if there
was one thing the
younger Fiori needed to
learn, it was patience. “I
found it.” He skimmed
the results, his face
paling.
“Well, what does it
say?”
“Mr. Fiori, I don’t think
these types of quizzes
are necessarily accurate
—“
Roman made an
impatient noise. “Let
me see that!” He
snatched the magazine
from Richard’s hands.
“The girl you like is
someone who is strong,
determined, and not
afraid to speak her
mind. Despite her
toughness, though, she
is looking for a partner
who is sweet and
sensitive—“
Richard grimaced. Sweet
and sensitive? Roman
didn’t stand a chance.
“—and is not afraid to
embrace his inner child.”
He threw the magazine
down. “Inner child?
What is this, Parenting
Magazine 101? This is
such bullshit!” He glared
at Richard. “You need to
pick better magazines,
Richard!”
Richard refrained from
reminding his boss’ son
that he was the one
who had chosen the
magazine. “Don’t be
mad,” he said
soothingly, flipping
through the glossy
pages. “Look, there’s
tips in the back.”
“Tips?” Roman
narrowed his eyes. “I
don’t need tips!”
“Oh, okay, then I will
just throw this away
for you—“
“Wait!” Roman grabbed
the magazine. “I’ll
throw it away myself.”
Richard tried his best
not to smirk. “Of
course, Mr. Fiori.”
********************
********************
********************
********************
********************
***********
“God, I’m so sorry,
Parker.” I sighed as I
opened the door to my
house, flicking on the
lights. “I feel like it's my
fault that Roman
punched you."
After I’d ran out of the
parlor, I’d almost
gotten lost because the
Fioris’ house was so
huge. Luckily, Parker had
followed me and
managed to save me
from getting stuck in
the maze of hallways.
“Oh, don’t worry about
it.” Parker shrugged.
“I’ve known him since
kindergarten. Trust me,
I’ve seen him at his
worst. Besides, we
used to play fight all the
time.”
I grimaced. "Yeah, but
this time wasn't
exactly 'playing'." I eyed
his bruised jaw. "I can't
believe he hit you that
hard. Actually, I can't
believe you're not mad
at him!"
"Yeah, well, if I got mad
at him every time he
acts like a dick, we
might as well stop
being friends."
I shook my head. "And
you don't think you'd be
better off not being
friends with him?

Shaxee, I must commend you for the good job you've done here so far. As far as I am concerned, you have a perfect storyline, everything about the story is perfect, no mistakes so far. I love the way you detailed every bodily expressions which makes it look like I am watching one of my high school movie collections.
And based on one of your questions. I think so far, Roman is my favourite character, dnt ask me why. I think I love Vernice, Parker, Adri and maybe a bit of likeness for Maya too.
Maya's grandmother is something else.
I am definitely sticking around here till the end.
Cheers.

seriously. "I'll admit,
Roman may not come
off as the nicest guy
sometimes--"
I snorted.
He smiled slightly. "Ok,
he never comes off as
the nicest guy, but
we've been friends our
entire lives, and we've
been through a lot of
shit together. You may
not see it, but he
actually is a great
friend."
"You're right, I definitely
don't see it." I sighed.
"God, when did my life
get so messed up?
Today has to be one of
the worst days ever.
And that's saying a lot."
Parker smirked,
playfully toying with
one of the straps of my
dress. “At least you got
a dress out of it.”
I rolled my eyes. “Yeah,
that makes everything
so much better,” I said
sarcastically. “I don’t
want to keep anything
of his. I’m giving this
back to him.”
“Why? That dress is
worth $2000. Just
consider it partial
payment for everything
you’ve been through.”
“$2000?” I was
stunned. “Holy hell,
that’s more than some
people’s salaries.”
Parker made himself
comfortable on the
living room couch. Since
it was pretty late, my
parents and
grandmother had all
gone to sleep already.
“Welcome to the high
life, sweetheart.”
“I don’t feel like my life
is very high right now,”
I muttered, wrinkling
my nose at my feet.
Running around
barefoot had made
them absolutely
disgusting.
“Trust me, it’ll get
better. Especially now
that we’re dating.”
I rolled my eyes and
cast a furtive glance
around to make sure
my grandmother
wasn’t lurking in the
shadows. “We’re not
really dating,” I hissed.
Parker gave me a
wounded look. “Not
even after I saved you
fromRome? You hurt
me, Maya, you really
do.”
“I’m sure you’ll survive.”
My tone was wry.
“Nevertheless, Roman
thinks we’re dating.”
Parker laced his fingers
behind his head and
gave me an assessing
look. “And…uh, I kinda
told Zack and the rest
of the guys we’re
dating too.”
I groaned. “Why?”
“Well, I needed to tell
them what happened,”
he pointed out
defensively. “Anyway,
if we’re going to keep
up this façade…we need
to coordinate.”
I dropped down on the
couch next to him.
“What do you mean?”
“At school,” he
explained. “If we’re
going to play the part,
we need to act the
part, which means you
can’t go around talking
about how much you
hate me anymore.”
Parker smiled cheekily
and patted me on the
head. “You need to act
like a good little
girlfriend.”
I swatted his hand
away with annoyance.
“I’m not a dog, Parker.
And define ‘act like a
good girlfriend.’” I left
out the ‘little’ part.
After all, I was five
foot seven! It’s not like
I was a midget.
“Well, you should
probably try to get
along with my friends.
We need to kiss, hold
hands, spend time
together…”
I stared at him in
disbelief. “And you’re ok
with all this? Won’t that
ruin your reputation as
an eternal bachelor or
something?”
Parker yawned. “Eh, I
don’t really care what
people think. Besides,
it’d be worth it for the
Roman factor alone.”
I was about to ask
what he meant by that
when he spoke up
again. “Besides, life was
getting boring. You, my
dear, just made it a lot
more interesting.

Ugh! Go away,” I
muttered, burying my
face into my pillow and
hoping whoever was
ringing the doorbell
incessantly would just
disappear. It was Saturday morning, for Pete’s sake. Didn’t they have somewhere better to be? Like their own bed? Considering the fact the doorbell was still ringing,
I guess the answer is
no. With a huge sigh, I
swung my legs over the edge of my bed and
stumbled down the
stairs, wondering why
my grandmother chose
today of all days to
drag my mom to tai chi
in the park. My dad had
left for yet another
business trip yesterday
and so I had the whole
house to myself. Whoever was at the
door had given up
ringing the bell and was
now pounding on the
door instead. “Hold your horses! I’m coming,” I called out crankily.
I’m not really a morning
person. I let out a huge yawn and opened the door, getting ready to shoo whoever was there away so I could go back to my best friend—my pillow.
When I saw who was
on my doorstep though,
my jaw dropped in
shock. What in God's name was Roman Fiori doing at my house on a
Saturday morning,
holding a gift basket?
And why the heck was
he wearing a Mickey
Mouse T-shirt?
