Playing the Secret's Game - Original - Series [Chapter 01]

It's like falling in love with the Devil. Aaralynn knew the first time she saw him. Black hair, pale skin, dark eyes. Eyes that's filled with hate, anger and agony. The way his ghostly aura tells people he's dangerous. He didn't seem the strong type. Not buff or freakishly tall, but his aura screamed "Stay clear!" and that's what people did.

They stayed clear of him. Let him pass in the hallways, avoided sitting next to him in class, refused to be teamed up with him by the teacher. Anything they could do to stay clear of him. But not Aaralynn. Never Aaralynn. 

The first day Aaralynn moved into her new school, she caught a glimpse of him. He was in the school office, just waiting to be called in to the principal's office for one of his many troubles. Aaralynn had been in the principal's office that day talking about her transfer. When she finally came out of the office, she saw him. Waiting. Just staring into space and fumbling with his pockets. He was disturbingly beautiful. That was Aaralynn's first impression.

Then he went into the office and disappeared from her sight. That moment, Aaralynn realized it was love at first sight. Yes, she fell in love with the Devil.

----------------------------------

Asche. That was his name. Asche Faber.  Disturbed kid. Mentally sick with an overwhelming desire to hurt someone. All the time. So why hadn't Aaralynn's love for Asche changed when she knew that? He had been the talk of the school, heck, even the town!

Maybe it's the power of love at first sight. Aaralynn reasoned. She would do anything to defend her feelings. No one had known about her love. Not even her new found best friend, Karista who she had told everything about herself. Not everything, maybe. Not about Asche. 

Aaralynn got most of her information on Asche from Karista, and Karista had told her to stay away from the psycho. So how could Aaralynn ever told Karista about her feelings for Asche? 

----------------------------------

Aaralynn never tried avoiding Asche. She would purposely bump into him at the halls and would deliberately sit beside him in the classes they shared, and would have plopped down beside him near the lake during lunch if only she didn't have to sit with Karista.

Aaralynn never felt like Asche resented her companion. Instead, she thinks he ignores it. But that's all. He never resented or welcomed it either. He just lets Aaralynn be there, where she wants to be. She wonders if he knew about her little love.
