Chapter 25: Chapter 25

Isabella's pov;

I came to the get-together with my high school friends, Noah, Evelyn, Sophia and Carey.

"Why aren't you drinking anything?" Noah asked me while I was staring at the glass which was in front of me.

Evelyn asked Sophia, "Did Liam say anything about coming today?"

Sophia shook her head and said, "He said he's got some work to do." She shrugged.

"I thought so, too," Evelyn murmured and sighed. "It'll probably be a few days before he can get free."

I said, "I don't know why you guys let go of him when he says he's busy but not leaving me when I say I got something to do."

Noah said, "Because he is really busy and you are not." And drank the drink out of his glass.

I gave a stare at Noah and asked him, "Why do I feel like I'm a third wheel when I come out with you guys?" I asked Noah and Evelyn, "Why did you date your friend?" I asked Carey, "How did you even pick up this girl?"

Sophia said, "Then bring Alexander along with you next time so that you won't feel like a third wheel."

I drank the drink and asked Sophia, "Do you like me?"

She gave a shocked expression and asked, "What?"

I asked Carey in a seducing way, "Hey, do ya girls have a place for me?"

Carey laughed and said, "I'm sorry, Bella. Because we're already occupying each other's heart."

"Why are you being so cute, Carey?" I pinched her cheeks.

Evelyn asked, "We still have some space here."

Noah pinched her ears and said, "I don't want to date Bella! She's evil."

I hit on Noah's shoulder and asked, "Who are you saying evil? Am I evil?" I took a glass of wine and poured it over his pants and said, "This is how evil behaves… oops! Your pants become wet. What did you do, Noah?" And teased him.

He gave a death stare and left for the restroom while others were laughing at him.

When I turned to Sophia, she asked, "I didn't say anything. Don't pour it on me."

While I was laughing at them, someone poured a drink over my head from behind.

"Noah!" I shouted his name while turning around.

Liam was standing in front of me. My anger left as soon as I saw his face. I gave him a quick hug and asked, "How are you doing? Sophia said you got some important work to do. I thought you wouldn't show up for this meeting too."

Liam said, "You made my shirt wet too."

I hugged him again and made the shirt worse and said, "That's for pouring a drink on my head."

We were all seated. I cleaned my head using the tissue paper while others were talking with Liam.

Noah returns from the restroom and gave a stare at me so i asked him, "Why are you still staring? Liam poured a drink on my hair too."

"Liam?" He looked around and noticed Liam sitting among us and shared a hug with him.

Liam asked, "Why didn't you pour a drink on Bella when she poured on you?"

I asked, "Did you do that because I poured a drink on him?"

Liam laughed.

Noah said, "You will laugh if I answer this but I don't have any other choice. To me, Bella is more than a friend. I mean she's like my little sister."

Everyone laughed but I didn't since it felt deep and I smiled at him while he's asking others not to tease him.

I said, "Guys! Since everyone is here. Why don't we celebrate it by having a competition?"

Carey asked, "What is it?"

Sophia said to her, "Who drinks faster than others?"

"Who drinks?"

I said to Carey, "She didn't ask you. That's a game we play with drinks to have fun."

Carey said, "Sounds fun."

We started competing against each other while having drinks. Soon, everyone got wasted as hell. I smiled at them and said, "Come on, who's going to drink with me?"

Liam lifted his hand in the air being drunk.

"Okay! Let's go!"

While I was competing against Liam, he was sipping the top of the glass thinking like he's drinking. I used the chance and drank everything out of my glass which made me feel like I'm going to throw up. I stood up and excused myself to a restroom.

While I was stumbling on the way to the restroom, I bumped into a guy who's taller than me.

I looked up and apologized, "Sorry, I didn't see."

When I tried to walk past him, he held my hand and said my name.

"Do I know you?" I looked at his face but it didn't look like i know from somewhere.

"No. You don't know me but I know you."

"Do you? How do you know me?"

"Are you drunk?"

I shook my head and leaned on the wall behind and nodded my head and said, "A little."

"How did you come here? Did someone come with you?"

"Why are you asking so many questions to me? Are you going to kidnap me?"

I moved forward and put my hands around his neck and looked at him and said, "You look nice and handsome but I already have a boyfriend. Where were you all this time?"

"You have a boyfriend. Did you come here with your boyfriend? Where is he?"

Liam pulled me towards him and said to the guy who pretended to know me, "She didn't come alone."

I said to Liam, "Can we have another drink?"

"It's enough for today."

That guy asked Liam, "Wait, are you the boyfriend?"

Liam, "No, I'm her friend."

I said to Liam, "You can still be my boyfriend. I hate the one I have."

We came to our table, Liam made me sit with Noah and asked, "Are you alright? Who's that guy?"

"He said he knows me but his face doesn't look familiar to me."

"Okay. I'll call Alexander."

"Don't!"

Liam left somewhere. I think he went to make a call to Mr Martinez.

After a while, Mr Martinez came to the club.

Mr Martinez said to Liam, "Thank you for calling me. I'll take her with me." And looked at others and asked, "What about them?"

"I bought a car so I'll drop them off at their houses. You take Bella with you."

I said, "I'm not going with him. I'm going by myself. I got legs."

Mr Martinez put my hand around his shoulder and said, "I'm feeling scared to go alone. Will you accompany me to the house?"

"Oh! Sure. Come, let's go."

While Mr Martinez was taking me out of the club, I said, "There's a guy inside who looks handsome. By looking at his face i think he would have many girlfriends."

"Who's that?"

"A random i guy i met in the club."

"Don't I look handsome to you?"

I pinched his cheeks, "No matter how many boys show up, i wonder how you still hold the first place, Mr Martinez." laughed and continued, "He said he knows me, it sounded strange to me."

"Maybe he was from your college."

When we were about to get into the car, someone stopped us and said something to Mr Martinez. When I looked at that person closely, I said, "It's him! He's the one I was talking about. Look how handsome he is."

Mr Martinez asked him, "What do you want?"

"Your girlfriend dropped it near the restroom."

"Are you from her college?"

He shook his head and said, "Even if I tell you who I am, she can't recognise me."

Mr Martinez asked, "What is your name?"

I clenched Mr Martinez's shirt and said, "I want to go to the restroom."

"Is it urgent?"

I shook my head and said, "But it feels like I need to go."

"I'll take you to the house quickly."

"Then let's go." I pulled him to get into the car.
