"You think I wouldn't know. They may be stupid but I'm not".
"Drop those down. I don't know what you are talking about".
"I'm your best friend, we literally grew up together so I know when its you, Bailey".
What the ... ? How the fuck did she find out?
"I don't know who you are talking about". I lied.
She scoffed. "Really? Stop bullshitting me already, I know its you".
"Katie, stop it ".
"Like what the heck is wrong with you? I didn't even recognize you in the first place until Owen called me".
I clenched my fists. "Owen?".
"Yes, Owen. He was worried about you taking things too far and I guess he's not wrong about that".
I frowned and snatched the glasses from her hand going over to sit on my bed.
"Bailey, what happened to you?".
"Don't call me that". I snapped at her. "Its Isabella?".
"Isabella? Really? You know what, I have so many questions to ask and I don't even know where to start from".
"Well then, good because I'm definitely not gonna answer them".
"Why did you come back?".
I looked at her. "What kind of question is that?".
"You tell me, you left without even informing you own best friend and then you are back four years later, why?".
"I don't owe you any explanation". I told her coldly.
"You are after them, aren't you? You think they ruined your chances so you are out to ruin them in return".
"Well now you know, why don't you leave me alone?".
"Is that why you were flirting with Alvin and my boyfriend as well?".
I crossed my arms. "I wasn't flirting with Tyler, he's the one who paid attention to me".
"I don't care who started it. Bailey, you are crazy if you think what you are doing is so right".
"Katie, I didn't ask for your opinion at all so why are you lecturing me?".
"Oh Gosh!!". She frowned. "Riley is out to get you because she thinks you are her one enemy".
"Thats none of my business, I didn't come here for her".
"Bailey, you can't ruin their lives because its already ruined".
"What?". I asked confusedly.
"They are no longer friends. Seven is on his own and same as Ryder, Sean doesn't talk to any of them as well. Its only Alvin and Tyler that are still friends". She explained to me. "And do you want to know why they all separated, its because of you".
I cocked my head. "Me? Really? You know what, Katie, I don't really care if I caused their friendship to end, I'll do it all over again".
"Bailey, don't you get what I'm saying? Do you know what happened that day you left? Huh? Ryder cried for you".
I stood up and tucked my glasses back in my luggage not even listening to her at all.
"Did you hear what I just said?".
I turned to face her. "I heard you correctly".
"If you did then maybe you would stop with whatever you are planning in your head and I won't take it lightly with you if you do anything to hurt Tyler".
"Tsk, tsk, tsk". I shook my head. "I'm not going to hurt your boyfriend, Katie. Just chill the elf out".
"Charming them isn't going to work".
I let out a low laugh. "Really? You think? I can prove you wrong".
"So thats your plan? To use your beauty to your advantage? Using it to lure them? And then what next?".
I shrugged. "I don't know. When I reach that bridge, I'm going to cross it not now".
"What went wrong with you?".
"What went wrong with me? I don't know, maybe the nights I had crying because my scholarship got withdrawn because of one distraction I had".
"It was just one scholarship, let it go. They hurt you, yes but just learn to forgive".
"I should learn to forgive? Katie, this isn't about me. There are other girls like that who also lost things because of what they did".
She sighed softly. "Bailey, I know that".
"Let me remind you, remember Taylor? She was an A+ student too back when we were freshers in high school, what happened to her? A stupid bet and it wasn't Seven who took her virginity that time, it was Alvin".
"Fine, I get your point. In one way or the other, five of them has done terrible things to girls".
"Thats not my point, Katie. This isn't about Seven lying that he loves me. This is about the stupid bet they always place on girls like we are some property whereby we are not".
"Bailey__".
"No". I cut her off. "I want them to know how its like to lie to a girl about feelings, to break someone's heart, to turn the society against her. Katie, you don't get it, what if Seven actually had his way with me? Most girls suffer from trauma because of that".
"Trust me, Bailey. They've changed, they regret what they did, you changed their way of thinking like that".
"Do you want to know something?". I asked her. "I didn't even get raped but I had a therapist all these years. What about the others girls?".
"I get your point".
"Remember Trina, when we first resumed the first day of school. A video of her having sex with Seven was uploaded, didn't it occur to you that she was going to commit suicide because of that? Most girls do that incase you don't know".
Katie was about to reply me when the door opened and then Riley stepped in. She look at me then glanced at Katie with confused expression written all over her face.
I stood up from the bed and walked past them heading out the door. I stopped and wiped my cheeks clean of the tears that were threatening to roll down.
I blinked rapidly so tears wouldn't fall any more. I took a deep breath before walking out of the dorms heading outside.
I tucked a strand of my hair behind my ear as I walked randomly not knowing where to go.
Maybe the basketball court.
Nah.
I sighed and headed towards the direction of the college's library.
A little reading won't hurt.
I finally got there and had to show them my student's I.D before I was let in. I checked through the aisles looking for something to keep me occupied.
"Barbie doll".
I turned hearing that familiar voice to see Ryder. He wore different clothes but still the same color, black.
"Ryder?".
"What are you doing in the library?". He snickered. "So girls like you read?".
Oh wait, he thinks I'm some cliche cheer-leader kind of person who loves to parties.
No, I'm not. Ryder, I'm your nerdy nerd.
"No". I shook my head. "I got bored, didn't know where to go. What about you?".
"I have to come to library once in a week or else I don't pass a particular course".
"Oh".
"So you said you don't know where to go, right?". He asked, his dark eyes twinkling.
"Yeah. What?".
"I can take you somewhere".
I crossed my arms. "How am I sure you are not going to kill me?".
"No chance. You remind me of someone". He replied wistfully.
I sighed softly. "Okay fine. Where are we going?".
He turned and walked off so I had to follow him. He got out of the library along with me as he headed to the other part of college.
I stopped panting for breath as he stopped by the parking lot. I stared at his motorcycle.
"You still have this since high school?". I spoke without thinking.
"What?".
"Nothing". I hastily said.
"Hop on".
"No way". I refused. "I can't go on that".
"Relax, barbie doll. You are not going to fall off".
"Don't I get a helmet or something? At least for safety".
