[Short Story] The woman who hated love

I was bored and so I decided to write this o3o. If you like it then I'll gladly write more stories like this ^-^

“Stop this silly game” I finally said; I was getting sick of him doing this to me. Why won’t he get away from me… this is the kind of people I hate the most. “When will you get tired of toying with me? This prank has gone too far, if you and your friends are going to do something then do it now.”

“What are you saying? I’m not doing this to piss you.” His expression radically changed; it’s incredible how some words can change the environment so quickly. “I really enjoy spending time with you… I feel really happy spending time with you; whether we are at the library or at the cinema, I feel alive whenever I’m with you.”

There was an evident flush on his face, how disgusting. This bug has been sticking around me for the last couple of days asking me to go with him to the cinema, to go to a restaurant and even going for walks to the park next to our school. He is one of the most popular guys on the school, and he and his friends are known for teasing everybody… especially girls.

I must admit, he is really handsome and I can’t deny that I once had a crush on him, but it never went past that. I've had many crushes on my life, yet I never talked to any of them because I’m the weird monster from class 2-A. I never talk to anyone nor I show any of my emotions ever, thus I don’t have any friends and yet I've been able to life a pleasant life on my own.

“Oh, does it mean that you are in love with me?” I can’t believe how far these guys can take their pranks; I feel bad for all the girls that have fallen for them.

“Eh!” The flush that was covering just the top of his cheeks spread to all his face, making it unbelievably red. “Well… I never thought of that, but it may be true.”

I can’t believe this guy confessed his emotions to me… how disgusting.

“Love? Don’t tell me you believe in something as stupid as that.” The smile on my face made the guy shudder immediately. I've never believed in love; my parents never showed me love. Since I can recall, whenever I did the right thing, they would just say with a cold voice Good work, but when I did something wrong I was punished to the point I had to beg for forgiveness.

 I still remember the sadistic look of my mother hitting me with that leather whip, which was once brown but with the passage of time the blood that covered it dyed it red. After receiving my beat up I was left down there in the basement, with nothing to eat or drink; I was left there with my own consciousness since I had to think of my mistakes.

It’s adorable how kids can have such a fragile hope, thinking that things will change over time. I still thought like that, that my parents would change one day, that maybe it was my fault that they were so angry. I blamed myself for their lack of emotions… how silly I was. But after years of getting tortured in that basement I realized something, the emotion known as love is nothing but a blasphemy.

“Please believe me!” His teary eyes looked at me with such a ridiculous faith. “I really have feelings for you; I've fallen in love with you!” He tried to demolish that layer of hatred that surrounded my soul with no result.

“You keep saying that disgusting word over and over without even considering its true meaning. Love is defined as the emotion we feel when we are attracted to others, but is that what it really is?” His tears vanished and suddenly, the hope in his eyes started vanishing. “Love is the excuse people use to find another person with similar likes and dislikes just to procreate and populate this rotten world.” It felt so good crushing that feeble childish hope he had; destroying all his wishes and letting him suffer.

“B-… but…” Oh, it looked like there was a small spark of light left in his inside. I gladly made him the favor of ending the pain.

“I never thought that you were so stupid, but I’ll put it in words that even an animal like you will understand. I HATE YOU, I’ll never feel such a stupid thing as love for another living creature” I heard the sound of that last spark vanishing from his soul. “So please don’t get near me again”.

As I walked out of the school I heard how he fell on his knees to cry like a baby. It gives me such wonderful pleasures seeing someone suffer this much; I will surely never forget him, nor the sound of his hope being crushed.

I really like this piece, it makes the writer feel for both characters. The only thing I would suggest is changing the part about her getting beat with a whip and getting left in a basement. It just doesn't follow human behavior. I could see her getting hit with bare hands more clearly for example. Besides that, this was a great piece which I really enjoyed.

Thanks for taking the time of reading it ^-^. even if it is a small piece I had some mental blocks on my head and the whip idea indeed sounds crazy and I wanted to somehow shoe how she turned into a heartless sadist; tomorrow morning I'll edit it :3. Also I'm trying to become a better writer so if you could spread the word to recieve more critics I would really apreciate it :3
