"Just give me a chance and we'll start all over again". He pleaded.
"Seven, I don't__".
"Isabella ... ". He held my hands. "Just one date. I won't screw it up".
Oh boy! As much as I would love to use this to my advantage. I can't yet. I mean, I need to find out what happened to them.
I sighed softly. "Seven, maybe another time but not now".
"Why?".
"Look, you are cute but the two of us, we are just not compatible".
I guess thats a safer to put it. A safer not to hurt his feelings, for now.
"What do you mean we are not?". He scoff looking at me. "Like you said I'm cute and you are cute too, we are the perfect kind of couple".
"Seven, how about we talk about this later on, like maybe another time?". I told him walking out.
He drew me back. "Isabella, come on. Just one date, it won't hurt that much to hang out with me".
Oh Gosh!! He's so persistent.
"Just one date". I agreed reluctantly.
His lips curved into a smile. "Really? You'll go out with me?".
"Yeah but like you said, don't screw it up".
"I won't".
He winked at me and walked off making me burst into laughter as I headed off another direction.
Seven can be so funny. He thinks that he's going to make me his girlfriend after this date.
But come to think of it, I can use this as an avenue to hurt his feelings. But something inside of me don't wanna do that.
Maybe a drink will help me forget about all of this dumb thoughts coming to me.
I headed towards the smoothie lounge and sighted an empty table but stopped seeing Ryder all by himself on a separate table.
Maybe I should go say hi to him.
I took in a deep breath and walked towards him. I sat on one of the chairs and then he looked up frowning when he saw me.
I flashed him a smile. "Hey".
"What are you doing here?". He asked me coldly.
"I just, um, came to get a smoothie and um, then I saw you".
Gosh!! Why am I stuttering in front of him?
"Why? We are not friends?".
My smile vanished. "What?".
"Look, Isabella. I'm not the kind of guy that you love wrapping around your fingers, just so you know".
"What are you talking about? I just came to say hi".
"And then flirt with me?".
I let out a scoff. "Where's all this coming from?".
"I need you to stay away from my sister's boyfriend".
"Seriously? Thats what this is about, what else did Riley tell you about me?".
"Riley didn't need to tell me. You are the kind of girl who probably have fucked all the guys back in your former college, thats the kind of girl you look like".
"Really? Thats the kind of girl I look like?".
Tears stung my eyes as he said that. He looked back at his phone ignoring me.
"You know what? I was wrong about you". I stood up immediately. "You judge people at first instant without knowing much about them".
"I don't even need to know about you". He replied curtly.
"Well I saw the Bailey Hadid you were looking for yesterday".
He looked at me. "What?".
"And something tells me she's not gonna want to talk to you ever again".
I immediately walked out on him heading out of the lounge.
How dare he say that to me? How dare Riley talk to me that way.
My phone rang jolting me out from my sad thoughts.
I opened my sling bag and grabbed the phone glancing at the caller's I.D. Owen. I answered the call immediately.
"Hi. Owen".
"Hey, Sis. How's Springfield? Better or still the same?".
"I don't really know". I answered him very tiredly.
"Whats wrong? You don't sound so good".
"Well apparently, the guy I've come to fall in love with just insulted me without even feeling remorse".
"Ouch!! Thats gonna hurt".
"Well a little since he insulted Isabella not Bailey".
"Sis, I think you should drop that act and come back to Australia. I miss you a lot".
"You miss me? Isn't Clarissa there?". I ask teasing him. "Your hot girlfriend".
"Bailey ... ". He warned.
I giggled lightly. "Sorry".
"Just come back to Australia. Forget about those guys and drop the Isabella part".
"Speaking of that. Did you call Katie and tell her anything?".
"I had to. Someone has got to look out for you".
So thats how she got to know.
I gasped. "Owen, how could you? That was my secret, not yours".
"Sorry but ... Oops, gotta run. Manager is calling".
"Okay, Bye__".
He already disconnected the call before I tell him goodbye. I sighed and placed my phone in my bag looking around.
I sighted Tyler going to the basketball court. Hmm, I need to talk to him, to find out where Katie is because I need to talk to her.
I zipped close my bag and head towards where Tyler went to. I followed him and entered into the basketball court as well.
Hmm. It seems empty. He's the only one here.
I walked past the bleachers and went down to where he was shooting hoops.
"Tyler". I called him.
He glanced at me. "Bailey? What you doing here?".
"Its actually Isabella".
"Right". He chuckled softly. "Sorry, I mean to say. What are you doing here, Isabella?".
"Well have you seen Katie? I need to talk to her, its urgent".
"No". He shook his head. "But I saw her a couple of minutes ago. She was with Riley talking to some frat members".
I arched my eyebrows. "Frat?".
"Yeah. I think Riley wants to have a party or something. Its just like a kind of fraternity and sorority combined though".
"Oh. I guess I'll have to talk to Katie later since she's busy with Riley". I said walking off.
"You know I never suspected you to be Bailey of high school".
I turn to him arching my eyebrows. "Why?".
"Well for instant. Back in high school, you acted invisible, you didn't talk to anyone but now you seem to love being the center of attraction".
"Tyler. Do you think of me as a whore?". I asked wanting to know.
He spanned his ball around. "No. Why?".
"Well Ryder called me that just because his sister reported me to him, saying that I'm trying to steal Alvin away from her". I said feeling annoyed.
"Expected. Riley shoved a sophomore's face down the toilet just because Alvin was talking to her".
"Is she really that insecure?".
He shrugged. "Alvin is kind of not sincere to the relationship a little bit. He's just like Seven".
I nod in response remembering the first time I met Alvin, he was banging a girl in the restroom. How can I forget that day?
"Oh wow. Isabella, you are here".
I turned to the direction of that voice to see Riley walking towards us and I scowled at her in response.
"Hey. You are not thinking of going for Tyler now, are you?".
"Riley ... ". Tyler warned her. "Stop it".
"Anyways. I'm not here to bicker". She continued.
I crossed my arms. "Then why are you even here? To taunt me?".
"The exact opposite. I'm having a party, will you like to come?".
I glanced at Tyler then at her. "You want to invite me?".
"Yeah".
"Oh". I shrugged. "Sure. I can attend".
She smiled rather sweetly and walked back up the bleachers moving out of the court.
"Don't go to that party". Tyler said all of a sudden.
I turned to him. "Why? She was being nice, that was odd but still".
