Chapter 3 The party

Elsie’s pov

“Elsie come on, we are going to be late!” Aria, my best friend yelled for the nth time as she watched me do my makeup.

“I’m coming.” I said, hastening up my moves.

A couple of minutes later, I was ready.

“Do you think this dress is too short?” I asked, feeling subconscious.

“What? No girl, it looks perfect on you. It’s night time when you give your long legs a good display.” She said and I smiled.

Aria looked absolutely gorgeous in a black body hugging dress that displayed her curves in the right places. Aria and I looked nothing alike and it sometimes made people wonder how we became friends in the first place.

I am 5’4 and she is 5’6. She is chubby with wide hips and large boobs while I have medium sized boobs with just a little curvy hips. She is an extrovert, loves going to parties and making friends while I preferred staying indoors and studying all day.

Now, we were getting ready for a party hosted by one of the biggest students in school. All students were going to be there and barely thinking about it, I was about to freak out.

Initially, I wanted to back out as usual but Aria wasn’t having it. When I ran out of all excuses, I had no other option but to go with her.

“Let’s go.” She said and we took our purses, before heading downstairs.

My eyes caught Adrian as he was heading out of the door with his friend, Liam. I guess he is going to the party too.

I swallowed hard at how handsome he looked. He was dressed in all black, making him look cold and yet, yummy.

“Damn girl, your brother is so hot.” Aria whispered. I turned to look at her and her cheeks were already tinted pink from blushing so hard. It was no big news that she has a crush on him. Hell, every girl has a crush on him.

Adrian on the other hand didn’t pay us any mind. He didn’t even spare us a glance. They walked out of the door and shortly, the sound of his motorcycle was heard.

“Mom, we are leaving.” I said to my mom who was relaxing in the living room.

“You girls look so pretty. Don’t stay out too late, okay?” She cautioned.

“Okay mom, see you.”

Our ride was waiting outside for us so we hopped in and took off immediately. Aria and I had small talks during the ride and soon, we arrived. It was a 30 minute ride.

“Oh no, the place is already filled with people.” Aria marveled, excitement filling her eyes as the car came to a stop.

“Yeaa.” I said, not excited in the least.

“The whole school is going to be here, we are going to have mad fun!” She exclaimed and hopped out of the car.

Oh no. The whole school meant I would have to encounter a dickhead which is no other person but Ryan.

Since I became his tutor, things have been going a little smoothly and when I say smooth, only when I am his tutor. He was still a jackass in school. I’ve been teaching him for about a week now.

I had thought that being his tutor would make him get tired of getting on my nerves but I was totally wrong. It only seemed to get worse and I couldn’t help but think it’s because I rejected his kiss.

His ego was crushed and since then, he took every opportunity to piss me off in school.

“Are you coming or not?” Aria’s impatient tone reached me. Shaking my thoughts off, I got out of the car and joined her. There were a few students hanging around outside the building while most people were inside. I could hear the loud music from here.

When we got inside, we were immediately swallowed by sweating bodies. They were all drinking and dancing. Aria saw the discomfort in my eyes and immediately led me to a less crowded area. From here, I could see some students making out.

“I’ll get you something to help you relax.” She said and disappeared into the crowd. Just then, a group of girls walked by and when they saw me, they started to whisper within themselves and laugh at me. I immediately felt self conscious.

The same thing happened with a group of guys. One saw me first and smirked. To my horror, he turned to his guys, said something and pointed to me. They all laughed. Mind you, I’ve never seen these people.

My unease grew even more and I immediately began to regret coming here. Aria came just in time and handed me a glass of beer.

“Are you okay?” She asked, seeing my alarmed expression.

“I don’t know what’s happening. People are pointing and laughing at me.” I said, my mood dampening.

Just to prove my point, three girls walked by and did the same thing.

“See, I told you.” I said to Aria, already feeling like crying. Was I dressed so badly that they were mocking me? Aria told me I looked good and I thought I looked good too.

“Fuck them. Let’s go elsewhere.” Aria said and grabbed my hand. We walked more into the house and arrived at the kitchen. A group of people were already there and when they saw me, they had the same reaction.

“Is something funny?” Aria asked, already getting pissed off. They said nothing, only continued smiling and whispering. Tears sprung to my eyes at their reaction.

Determined, Aria walked off with me and we bumped into our classmates whose reactions were even worse.

“What’s going on?” I dared to ask Jessy as the others walked off, laughing.

“You haven’t heard?” She asked, looking me over in disappointment.

“Heard about what?” Aria asked while I tried not to choke on a sob.

“Ryan told everyone.” She said, crossing her arms.

“Told everyone about what?” I asked, fear filling me.

“That he finally got to fuck you.”

“What?” I yelled, hoping I heard her wrong.

“Why would he say that? It’s a lie.” Aria quickly said, backing me up.

“Well, I don’t know about that.” Jessy said and with that, walked off while chuckling.

I looked around and saw that everyone was looking at me with different expressions on their faces. They ranged from disgust, mockery and excitement.

Aria began to say comforting words to me but I couldn’t hear her. My heart raced bitterly in my chest as I felt the room closing in on me. I couldn’t hold my tears any longer. They began to fall.

“That son of a bitch-

Coincidentally, I saw Ryan in another room filled with people. They were talking and laughing.

My feet began to move immediately towards him and I saw red.

He turned to look at me, a smirk plastered on his face. He probably thought I would let it slide.

As I got closer to him, his expression changed when he noticed my face.

“You fucking dimwit, how could you!” I yelled when I got to him. By now, everyone was staring at us, waiting for the drama to unfold.

I didn’t give him a chance to speak, I raised my hand and landed a

hot slap on his cheeks. His face snapped the other way from the impact. My palm stung as well but I didn’t care. People gasped.

“What the-”

I didn’t let him finish. I flung my glass of beer at his face, emptying the content on him.
