"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".
"Trust me, you don't wanna know why".
"Then why warn me if you won't tell me the reason".
"Ryder doesn't know that its you, that you are his Bailey that he's been waiting for".
I looked at him confused. "Well yeah he doesn't know yet but is it connected to this party issue?".
"I have a feeling that Riley must have planned something harmful out for and of course, her brother is going to help her".
"Wait. Ryder is going to help her in taking me down?". I asked scared a little bit.
Tyler shrugged. "He doesn't know its you so of course, he's gonna do it. Anything for his twin sister".
"Oh God! This is bad, very bad". I said to myself pacing about.
"And I think there's only one way to solve this".
"Which is?".
"Tell Ryder your real identity".
"No way". I bluntly refused. "I can't do that not after dealing with Seven first".
"Forget about Seven for once, your life is at stake".
"Oh please". I scoffed. "Whats the worse that Riley could do to me? Humiliate me by shoving my face in a toilet?".
"What? No, she could make some group of guys beat you up. Thats what Riley could do to you".
"Is she that bad?". I asked him eagerly.
"Yeah". He nodded in response. "Really bad".
"Damn it!!". I cussed angrily. "I only came to make someone's life miserable and now that bitch wants to attack me".
"Bailey, for once, just forget about why you came back to Springfield. Besides, I think the whole revenge idea is lame".
I crossed my arms. "Lame? You are only saying that because I didn't include you?".
"It doesn't matter if you include me or not, I am saying the truth. If your idea was to just separate us as friends then you don't need to".
"Yeah, about that ... ". I faced him. "What really happened to the five of you?".
He shook his head. "I don't want to talk about it".
"Let me take a wild guess, its me". I said sarcastically.
"Maybe".
"I know its me, Tyler. Ryder said to me that a girl brought them together and then a girl separated them".
"Hmm".
He hummed in response as he went back to playing around with ball shooting hoops in the basketball net.
"You play really good". I complimented him.
"Thanks".
"You know, I could mention your name to my brother or maybe his manager".
He stopped looking at me. "Huh?".
"My brother, Owen".
"Yeah, I know Owen".
"He's a professional basketball player and I bet his team could use someone like you".
His lips curved into a smile. "You would do that?".
"Sure". I shrugged. "Anything for my best friend's boyfriend".
"Gosh!! Thank you so much, Bailey".
He pulled me into a hug before I knew it, I sighed and reciprocated until a voice made us step away from each other.
"Was I interrupting something?". Alvin asked walking towards us.
"Umm, No ... ". Tyler glanced at me. "We were just hugging".
"Yeah, I saw that". Alvin responded coldly.
I smiled at him. "Hey Alvin".
"Isabella. I didn't know that you are this close to Tyler, I mean, hugging, isn't that extreme?".
"Dude". Tyler warned him.
"I think I should get going".
I walked out immediately so I wouldn't be the cause of a fight within best friends.
I got out of the basketball court hastily but stopped when I heard my name called. I turn to see Alvin coming towards me.
I turn to face him. "Alvin?".
"Hey ... ". He smiled in response. "Well I just wanted to say hi".
"Really?". I asked him amused.
He chuckled lightly. "Yeah. So Isabella, are you free? For today?".
"Why are you asking me?".
"Well I, um, I was thinking if you and I can like do something together".
I arched my eyebrows. "Like a date?".
"Yeah, something like that though".
"Alvin, you have a girlfriend and her name is Riley Tatum, remember that".
"I know that".
I sighed. "Alvin. I would love to hang out with you but I can't".
"What?".
"Riley thinks that I'm trying to steal you away from her and I'm sure she's on to me as for now. So I think its best if you stay away from me".
"Isabella. What are you talking about? Riley won't harm you, I'll make sure of that".
"Sorry but ... ". I flashed him a smile. "You are still her boyfriend so I can't hang out with you".
He nodded sadly. "Yeah sure, I get it".
I sighed softly and kissed both his cheeks before walking off in another direction.
I didn't want to do that to him. Heck!! I'm bad at hurting people's feelings. And right now, some part of me can't hurt Seven.

I drop the last book in the shelf as I looked through the others anticipating for another better one.
Well I'm in the library right now. I don't have anything else to do but read ahead of the semester exams.
I tried to find Katie so I could talk to her but she was with Riley. I can't just go talk to her while she's with that motherfucker.
"Isabella?".
I turned to see him. "Sean? What are you doing here?".
"I just came to check out a book so I can take notes on the ... ". He trailed off. "Oh, I don't want to bore you with that".
"Oh no, its okay. I don't mind". I flashed him a sweet smile.
"You are kinda different from most blonde girls I've seen".
"How different?". I asked him as we walk through the aisle.
"Well for starters, you are way too nice and then again, you are interested in reading".
I chuckled slightly. "Ouch!! Its so cliché that everyone thinks blonde girls are meant to be bitchy, you know".
"I didn't mean to sound that way though".
"No, its okay". I dismissed it immediately.
"So since you are here, then do you mind if we both read together?".
"Sure". I shrugged. "You seem smart".
"I am smart".
"I'm pretty sure your girlfriend wouldn't fail any subjects because you are gonna help her".
"Ramona doesn't even care about her own grades". He replied as we sat down.
"You have a girlfriend?".
"Yeah, I do. But she's not in this college with me".
"Oh".
And here I thought that he was going to fall for me. He actually has a girlfriend so that means he's out.
I felt a figure hover and I look up surprised to see Ryder. He and Sean exchanged hate looks which got me confused.
"Come on". Ryder tugged on my arm. "We need to talk".
I yanked my arm away. "If you remember correctly, you called me a whore and I'm sure you don't talk whores, am I right?".
He frowned and then drew my chair back-wards pulling me up. I gave Sean a light smile before following Ryder.
"What the hell was that?". I asked him annoyed.
He crossed his arms. "You don't give up, do you? Its like you have some sort of degree in flirting?".
"Hey .. ". I warned him. "Don't you dare say another word to me about flirting, do you get that?".
"I'm not here to argue with you. We need to talk".
I crossed my arms. "I'm listening".
"I know that you know about Bailey or like maybe you are close to her or something like that because you told me back at that food court that Bailey ... something stuff".
"And so what?".
"You tell me where she is and I promise to spare you tonight".
