My Way To You 157 Rip Out Your Heart Part 3

"No, Vera! You don't understand! I have been trying to protect you this whole time!" Payton shouted as his prim and proper appearance started to unravel with every step Ariana took towards them. Ariana's eyes glowed with murderous intent as a sinister smile appeared on her face. Payton's eyes grew wide with fear and he grabbed Vera's shoulders in desperation. "Just come with me right now! I can't explain but you need to leave here!" Payton shouted as he gave her a little shake.

"What the h.e.l.l is wrong with you?" Vera shouted as she broke free from Payton's grasp. "You need to stay away from that she demon! She will hurt you to get to me!" Payton shouted as he pointed towards Ariana. Vera turned to see who Payton was pointing at and instantly smiled when she met with Ariana's bright and innocent smile. "Ariana! Are you looking for me?" Vera asked as she took a step forward. "No!" Payton yelled as he grabbed Vera's hand and held her back. "Payton?!" Vera shouted as she turned back to face him. Ariana brought up her hand and covered her mouth as she showed Payton a mockingly evil face, openly laughing at him. "You can't go I need to protect you!" Payton shouted.

"Payton I don't need or want your protection!" Vera angrily shouted back. "I can't lose you." Payton said as he pulled Vera into his embrace. "What are you even saying?" Vera said in complete shock. "I love you, I can't lose you, I need to protect you... So please let me protect you." He said as he held Vera tightly. "Finally!" Ariana shouted as she clapped her hands in delight. "I thought it would take forever for you to confess!" She said as she continued to approach the two. Vera pulled out of Payton's embrace and turned to Ariana. "Can you please tell me what's going on?" Vera said as her face blazed apple red. "Only if you answer his confession first then I will tell you everything." Ariana said cheerfully. Vera turned to Payton and looked him in the eyes.

"Moron! Couldn't you have told me this sooner!" She shouted then pulled on his blazer making him bend down. The moment he was close enough she kissed him. Cheers could be heard all around them and the two separated immediately. They completely forgot that they were in the quad in front of the school and everyone had gathered to watch the show. "Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to announce the new happy couple! Congratulations Vera DuChamp and Payton Cress!" Ariana shouted and another round of applause erupted. Vera turned redder as she received everyone's good wishes while Payton grinned like a fool. When the cheering died down Ariana turned to the couple and gestured them towards a more isolated spot. "If you don't mind I would like to have a chat with you." She said as she gave Vera a sly smirk.

"What's this about?" Vera said as she raised an eyebrow. "Nothing really just fulfilling a promise." Ariana said playfully as she looked at Payton. Payton placed himself in between Ariana and Vera. He stared down Ariana as he puffed out his chest. Ariana couldn't hold on to her stoic face any more and started to laugh. "Can someone please explain what's going on?" Vera pleaded as she walked around Payton. "I'm sorry!" Ariana cried as she held her gut. "I wanted to rip out Payton's cowardly heart and give him a new one." She said as she took deep breaths to calm herself down. "Wait, what?" Vera and Payton said in unison. "Payton p.i.s.sed me off so I scared him a little. I was 99% sure he would confess to you. There by killing that cowardly heart of his but I had no idea how you felt about him. Honestly I thought you would leave him hanging and he would have to court you until you got over Cayden.... But everything turned out great! Since you feel the same way and all so... ta da new, stronger, braver heart! Your welcome." Ariana said as she winked at Payton.

Payton facepalmed himself and groaned. "So Vera was never in any danger? You just played me like a fool and got your revenge?" Ariana looked at Payton with a giant grin. "Yes." She answered bluntly. "Why did you think I was in love with Cayden?" Vera asked in confusion. "The way you acted around him was misleading! How was I to know any better?" Ariana said pitifully. Vera moved up and pinched both of Ariana's cheeks. "By asking!" She said. "But you blushed!" Ariana said as her face stretched out. "of course I did! Another guy touched me in front of Payton! I hoped he would step up and say something like 'She's mine! Don't touch her so easily.' or you know whatever..." Vera said as she let Ariana's face go. Her face turned a brighter red as she looked away.

"So when Cayden broke off the engagement with Vanessa?" Ariana said as she rubbed her cheeks. "Jealous... I wanted to have a scene like that with the one I loved." Vera replied as she peeked at Payton. "I'm glad you got your wish... well one of your wishes. I want to know if you want the other one granted?" Ariana said as she gave a cheeky grin. "What's that?" Vera asked. "Joining the Student Council..."

"As you all know the Bravo family has fallen and Callista has left the Academy. There is now an opening for her position as the secretary-treasurer for the Student Council. We will be opening up the floor for nominations for the position." A familiar tanned male said with his blinding, devilish smile. Mateo looked around the room, waiting for one of the 6 representatives to speak up first.
