​ Be Careful What You Wish For

Her name was Tori, and she was admired by all. She was 17 years old and a senior in high school. She was friends with everyone, and a straight “A” student that made the teachers love her too. Tori had almost everything she could ever want; she had the status, the grades and the friends.

One day a new student started at her school; his name was Davaun. He was also 17 and a senior. Davaun wasn’t a show off like most of his peers. When he first laid eyes on Tori, he thought she was the most beautiful thing. When he tried to talk to her though, she would just laugh in his face.

Davaun tried everything he could think of to get Tori to acknowledge him. He left her cute notes in her locker, and gave her a different type of flower everyday. But none of it pleased her, she still didn’t care.

He was trying everything he could think of to win her over. Davaun told everyone he wished he could have her, and said that he would do anything for her. When he bought her gifts it made other girls jealous of how nice he was, but Tori still just ignored him. Davaun would carry her books to class for her, and would do anything she asked of him. Tori was using Davaun; leading him on. Davaun thought he almost had her; he felt he was getting close. So one day when school let out Davaun was parked in front of the school waiting for Tori in a brand new 2010 Mustang. Tori walked up to him in amazement. She asked him when he got this car, he told her “I got it today, and it’s for you.” She asked him “but how did you pay for it?” He told her “my dad owns his own business, that’s why we moved here, so he could open more.” That day Tori fell for him.

Tori and Davaun quickly became the cutest couple at the school. They were always found together fondling one another. Davaun still bought her little gifts once a week, and occasionally bought her flowers. They appeared to be happy, and they were at first but Davaun was starting to see Tori’s true colors.

Davaun still bought Tori presents for no reason and always gave her his full attention whenever they were together. But for Tori that wasn’t enough, she wanted more and she wanted him to herself all day everyday. One day some of Davaun’s friends asked if Davaun and Tori would like to come hang out on Friday night. Davaun thought it was a great idea, but when he told Tori she threw a fit. She wanted to hang out with him and that was it, she wanted him to herself. So Davaun agreed that he wouldn’t go out with his friends, but when Friday night came Tori said that she couldn’t hang out that night. So Davaun went out to the movies with his friends, but when they got there Tori was there waiting for Davaun. When he got out of the car Tori started yelling saying that he promised that he wouldn’t go out. Davaun quickly apologized and the two left together.

When their three-month anniversary came up Davaun bought Tori a 14-kart white gold heart necklace that had “I Love You” engraved into it. When he gave the gift to Tori he didn’t get the reaction he was looking for. Tori was not happy, she asked him where the rest was. Davaun was confused. She told him that she was looking for something more expensive, something no one else had. She told him all girls already had necklaces and that his present wasn’t special enough. That day Davaun just didn’t feel the same towards Tori anymore, he wanted out.

The next night while Tori and Davaun were talking on the phone, Davaun asked Tori if something ever happened and they broke up if they would still stay friends. Tori began crying and said that she was sorry if she ever did anything wrong to him and she didn’t want to break up. Well Davaun fell for it and apologized to Tori for even asking the question.

Weeks went by and Tori and Davaun were back to way they were when they first started dating; happy. But when Davaun tried out for the basketball team and made it Tori told him he could not play. She told him that it would take time away from the two of them and she didn’t want him to get hurt. Davaun refused to listen this time and continued playing on the team. Tori started to be everywhere after that, whenever he turned around she was watching. Davaun decided that he was going to end this relationship tonight no matter what. So that night when Davaun got out of practice Tori was in the parking lot, and when he got out there she leaned into him for a kiss but Davaun just backed up. He told her they needed to talk, he told her that things were not the same anymore and he needed his space. Tori said nothing so Davaun got in his car and left Tori standing in the parking lot crying.

That week Davaun was like a new person. He was much happier and more cheerful. Davaun got to hang out with his friends whenever he wanted. All his friends could see that Davaun was happy and more comfortable now that he slipped from his leash.
