He stared at my last name scribbled down at the notebook lost in his own thoughts.
"Is something wrong?".
"No ... ". He glanced at me again. "Do you know a certain Bailey Hadid?".
I froze inside of me hearing him say that, Ryder still remembers me. Well not me, the old me, but why?
"Well, umm ... ". I cleared my throat. "No, I don't think so".
He arched his eyebrows. "Are you sure?".
"Maybe if you give me a description then I might get a heads up".
He didn't say anything so I decided to pay attention to the lecturer in front of me. Well, I still wanna get good grades in college too.
"She was a nerd". He spoke up. "My nerd, I loved her but it was too late".
I almost choked on my breath. "You fell in love with this Bailey?".
"Yeah". He whispered lowly. "But she didn't want to have anything to do with me".
I stared at him as he kept on talking. Why isn't is mentioning the bet with Seven? Or is something wrong somewhere?
"She sounds like a nice person".
"Yeah, she is. Almost too nice to be fooled by a jerk".
"Oh".
"Anyways its all in past, I never saw her again after high school". He dismissed the conversation.
Ryder, its me, Bailey.
How I wish I can tell you that but I can't.
You hurt me by not saying the exact thing, Alvin hurt me, what if I had loved him on that date he took me to and Sean, he was only nice to he could bed me.
In one way or the other, we are all at fault here but I choose to blame the five of you.
I exhaled deeply and faced my books but occasionally glancing at Ryder most of the times. He seemed indifferent to my stares.
Almost immediately, the class was over. He stood up and I quickly put my book in my sling bag hanging it over my shoulder as I walked with him.
He stopped and turned to face me. "Are you by any chance following me?".
"I, um. I'm new here so I was thinking if you could show me around".
"Look, barbie doll, try getting one of those guys drooling over you to do that not me".
"My name isn't barbie doll". I said to him through gritted teeth.
"Really?".
I huffed angrily. "Its Isabella".
"See you around, barbie". He said coldly and walked off.
Damn it. I lost my chance with him.
I turned around to walk away but bumped into someone. I almost fell down but he drew me up immediately to meet him.
"Sorry about that". He apologized.
I smiled in response.
I ran my eyes over him. He was tall with sexy grey eyes, muscular built and a very disarming smile.
"Umm, Gorgeous. I guess I better leave, sorry for bumping into you again".
"Its nothing. I'm Isabella not gorgeous".
"Oh. Forgive my manners, Tyler Bryant". He said and started to walk away.
I paused. He's Tyler. Another one of them.
"Umm, wait". I stopped him running off to go stand by him.
He faced me. "Yeah?".
"I'm new here so I was thinking if you could maybe show me around or better still, can I tag around you for some while?".
"You are a fresher?".
I shook my head. "Transfer. Last year. So what do you say?".
"Uh. Sure?".
I beamed brightly and walked next to him as we went out of the lecture hall. He went straight to the other side of the college.
"Tyler? Where are you heading to?".
"The basketball court. Thats where I always go to after a boring class".
"To lighten your mood?".
"Yep".
"I play basketball too". I informed him.
His eyes lighted up. "What? You play?".
If there's one thing I noticed. Tyler takes a liking to girls that are indulged in his kind of sports and thats what I'm gonna do.
"Yeah". I nodded in response. "Well I know how to shoot some hoops".
"Nice, I like that, Bella".
Then he went on talking about how he took a liking to basketball, telling me all about it.
I smiled inwardly. I just caught another one.
He stopped. "So we are here".
"Wow". I exclaimed staring at it. "Its huge and yet so beautiful".
He grinned. "I know right".
"I'm pretty sure its dope inside".
"Come on, lets go". He held my hand taking me along with him and I had to smile because of that.
We got and then went past the bleachers to the main court. I sighted Alvin first then Riley before Katie. Looks like they all hang out here.
"Hi guys". I spoke up smiling at them.
Riley turned to me. "Isabella? What are you doing here?".
"Tyler brought me here". I replied sweetly.
I noticed Katie's eyes move to our hands, she is jealous. Tyler saw her gaze and removed his hands from mine immediately.
I ignored it and clasped my hands together going straight to the middle of the court.
"Who's ready to play basketball?". I asked almost too nicely.
Riley scoffed walking over to me. "Just so you know, only Alvin, Tyler, Katie and I are here to play basketball".
"Wow, thats so rude of you".
"Really? How about you? You should know that Alvin is my boyfriend and__".
"I'm here to play basketball and I don't see why Alvin is involved in the conversation".
"Isabella". Katie walked over to me. "Look, we are two teams each with two members and you can't play basketball with us since then the number will be odd".
I pretended to think about it. "Then what am I supposed to do?".
"Maybe watch from the bleachers, its not that hard, you know". Riley retorted.
I ignored walking away as I resisted the urge to roll my eyes at her. I held my bag tightly and walked to the bleachers.
"You are leaving?". Alvin asked me.
"Yep. Apparently, I'm not invited".
"Oh. Isabella, I'm sorry". Tyler apologized to me. "I thought__".
"No, its okay. Maybe we could play next time, just the both of us". I fluttered my eyelashes at him.
"Yeah, next time". He smiled. "Just us".
Katie called him and he winked at me then he walked back to the basketball court. He seems charming but I'm the charmer now.
"So ... ". Alvin turned to me. "Hey, we meet again".
"I know you wanted us to meet again".
He chuckled lightly. "Yeah, kind of".
"We could meet again". I moved closer to him. "If you take me out for a drink".
"My girlfriend wouldn't like that".
Oh shit!! I'm losing him.
"Its just a friendly date or else you want more than that". I winked at him.
"But Riley is my__".
"Think about it". I blew him a kiss before walking out of the basketball court.
I stepped out and smiled to myself.
Okay, I just got Tyler and Alvin. Damn it, I couldn't even get Ryder at all. Now next is I find Sean or Seven.
I got out of the basketball court heading to the food court but I decided to get a drink first.
I sat on one of the empty tables and glance around but I couldn't see them. I paused as I sighted an handsome fella among couple of girls.
He looked my way and smiled flirtatiously while I simply smiled looking away.
He is going to definitely come meet me.
I loosened the pink band on my hair and let the blonde tresses roll off my back while I fluffed it around.
"Hi".
I looked sideways to see the handsome fella of before. He's so hot but I don't think he's cuter than the new Ryder.
I arched my eyebrows. "Can I help you?".
"You are new around here, right?".
I smiled a little. "Yeah, Isabella".
"Well I'm Seven". He smiled back. "Seven Marshall and I say you are beautiful".
