"Noah," Isabella stood and turned to look at the man, and it was Noah, bright sun on a cold winter night.
"Wow! I know your excitement isn't because of me. I pity my life," Noah said truthfully, sighing at his luck. How much he expected to see this enthusiasm in Isabella's eyes for himself, but it was all his dreams.
"No, obviously, you're here with our group. Why wouldn't I be excited?" Isabella quickly covered up her excitement with her own words. Her attempt to tell a terrible lie made her cheeks red and the laughter of the two best friends only made her blush further.
"Sweet. By the way, here's your book," Noah brought out her book under his shirt and handed it to her, for which she was forced to attend this bonfire.
"Thanks, Noah," smiled Isabella as she took the book. Books are the closest to her. She always felt in her alone time that if she needed something, that was a good romance book.
"You are welcome. Sit down now. I have something interesting for you girls," said Noah, reaching his hand into the back pocket of his jeans and bringing out an eye-catching flask.
"O.. La..la. What does it have?" Bethany clucked her tongue and said, looking at the alcohol flask.
"Something nice, I'm already feeling it," Danny said and took the flask from Noah's hand and sniffed it over the closed lid.
"Johnnie Walker!" I brought it on my trip to London," Noah whispered because his group might be nearby and if they heard it, there is no guarantee that this flask or the bottle in his house will remain full.
"Dang, man. Let's sip our Johnnie Walker," Danny commented and sipped first, then passed it to Bethany who was drooling, after that Noah tasted, he just sipped a little as he was solely brought this flask for the girls. They commented together, "Awesome."
While Isabella was looking at the tall fire. It was beautiful to look at. Isabella sometimes took an interest in something weird. Sometimes she wondered why her eyes were always attracted by something odd. Her eyes still looking at the fire while it was distracted by a figure who was wearing a mask and looking at them.
The figure was standing at quite a respectful distance, but the way he was looking at them was quite scary. Also, his eyes gave her an absurd feeling. Because of the distance, she can't see his eyes well. Their gazes were still looking at each other without a blink, though Isabella didn't know whether the man was blinking.
But she didn't blink for a second. Just then, Bethany nudged Isabella's shoulder to give her the flask. Her gaze drifted a little towards Bethany but again turned to the distance. But the man was no longer there. She blinked to clear her eyes, in case her gaze was mistaken, but there was no one in the place."What are you looking at, Bella? Is there any chick that has caught your eyes?" Danny joked. Isabella glanced at the distance one more time, then she changed her gaze and focus on her group. Danny's joke dulled Noah's eyes for a few seconds, but they lit up when Isabella answered, "No, there is nothing like that. I just saw a masked figure beside that signboard."
As she finished, Bethany and Danny looked at that pointed place that Isabella just said, but Noah's bright eyes clouded in fiction. He stared at the place before standing up.
"I got a text from my friends they said to come to them. I will be here soon," Noah said and smiled only at Isabella before walking out, ruffling his hair, even forgetting to take his flask.
"Thank God he didn't mention taking his flask, or I don't think we will get more to drink," Danny said and high-five Bethany over Isabella's head, while Isabella intervened by saying, "That is wrong. Maybe, he has brought this to share with his friends too."
"Stop it, damn girl, you never supported your friends," said Bethany and drank enough then give it to Danny.
"Want," Danny offered as she was about to finish it."No, I'm fine," Isabella denied, not that she had never drunk, just that she was not in the mood to drink. Also, she told her father that they would have dinner with him.
"Don't drink too much because you asked my father to cook dinner for us," Isabella reminded two of them who can't control themselves after drinking.
"We know, and this flask emptied in two gulps. Damn it, Noah!" murmured Bethany. It was like a drop of water for a Bedouin.
"I am going to get a drink. Shall I bring two for you too?" she said again. Isabella categorically refused, but Danny gave her a thumbs up.
As Bethany left to get drinks, suddenly there was a man's voice calling Danny. Both Danny and Isabella turned their head, and it was Jackie, Danny's ex-boyfriend. What a big surprise for Danny.
"Danny, can we talk," Jackie said while Danny's lips turned into a sneer and she spat fire, "Is there anything more to say or do you want to fuck one more time before ending this relationship completely?"
"I need to call someone, so excuse me guys," Isabella politely said and left them alone to talk. Danny also didn't force her to stay because she knew Isabella would feel awkward. And she needed to use good slang to vent her anger.
Isabella speeded up her pace, looking around the happy tumult. Everyone was enjoying and drinking, and also many strange games they are playing. Isabella wasn't well aware but it looked interesting. Her eyes were concentrating on games as they were trying to decipher the rule when she bumped into a stud figure and was about to fall back when the figure hold Isabella's waist and prevented her from falling.
"Gorgeous," the man remarked. Isabella held onto that man's arm. It was a big muscular arm. And those green eyes are beautiful but not mesmerizing like Alexander's. Suddenly she felt she had compared this man to Alexander, but why?
"May I know your name?" the figure again asked, still holding Isabella, who had just come back on the earth after comparing the two hunks.
"Sorry, I didn't see you coming," Isabella politely apologized and stand straight though the man helped her because no one could straighten themselves from the half-bending position without help.
"Okay. I am Xavier," said the man, reaching out to shake his hand.
"I am Isabella" Isabella shook her hand and smiled and expressed her gratitude, appreciating this man's humility."Are you going to have a drink?" Xavier asked.
"No, actually I am looking for my friend, she's gone to get a drink," Isabella answered with a smile but the thing she didn't notice was that while she was speaking Xavier's eyes glowed as they looked behind her, suddenly a person came to them."Hey, brother. Join the game," said the person who came, and he was a senior at their college. Isabella was now thinking about Xavier's identity. She didn't know every senior in their college, but still, she knew many of them and had never seen Xavier before.
"Isabella, are you in?" Xavier asked Isabella rather than answering that boy."Sorry, I don't know how to play and I am also searching for my friend, so please you two have fun," Isabella fully rejected them, not a chance she would agree to this unknown game.
"O, come on. We are your seniors, Bella. You must agree to our request and the game is simple. All you have to do is sip the drink with each question if you did," the boy said and grabbed Isabella's arm but left instantly as Xavier glared.
"No, I am not comfortable with the game. Also, I need to go home, so I.. can't." Before Isabella could finish, a woman came to her whom she didn't know well except for her name, hold her hand, and led her to their group
"Guys, look who is here with us? Our beautiful Bella from the English department," the woman named Paoli just announced to the group. First, Isabella saw the obnoxious eyes of several of them, which didn't bother her because she wasn't thinking of staying there for a second.
On the other hand, she felt scorching eyes behind her and only two people were behind her Xavier and that senior whose name she didn't know. But the feeling she was having was mostly like prey, and she was desperately hoping for help that could take her far away from the situation. Her eyes looked around for Bethany when someone pushed a cup into her hand and she reluctantly sat down.
Next to her, she felt a tall figure sitting with a cup, and her nerve cells tensed more. She was about to make an excuse again when the game began.
The first one was a man who held up his glass and said, "Never have I ever had sex on a toilet seat."
"Fuck man, next time definitely do and share your experience with us," everyone screamed as the man said. A few of them drank, and others were laughing while cheering him on for doing what he said he didn't.
"Look, our Isabella did. She didn't drink, what's that mean!… Yikes, Bella," The woman loudly said making Isabella annoyed further.
Vote.. Love ya.❤
★★★★ "Bella, come on. Spill it," Paoli, that girl, uttered again, and Isabella dislike these things if someone tried to force her about something. Moreover, she knew Paoli was doing this intentionally. "You've taken it too far, Paoli, which is wrong. By the way, I need to go, so I pass," Isabella didn't polite either, though her expression and words are gentle, her voice isn't. "That's mean, what we have heard is true that you are a virgin," Paoli spat and snickered as she stood up then resumed again, "I am confident that you haven't kissed anyone." "Shit!" everyone started whispering. Their mocking eyes were unbearable. Everyone turned their full attention to Isabella, activating their judge eyes and giving the vibe that being a virgin was a crime. "Okay, whatever. You are such a disgusting woman," Isabella answered and stood up. She threw the paper cup on the ground before crushing it with her feet. "How dare you? If I am lying, why don't you kiss someone right now? You can'
★★★ "Dear diary, today is my best day because momma said she will take me to Disneyland on my tenth birthday, which is next week. I am so excited and this weekend I will go shopping and buy everything in pink."After 13 days; "Dear diary, welcome me. I am back from my dream place. How do I express my happiness? It was one of my best gifts and I am thrilled. I have a lot of pictures and I am going to paste them onto this page, so whenever I will open this page, I'll recollect my memory."Every picture was telling Isabella's happiness. Either she was on Mickey Mouse or her father's shoulder. Her pose was different in every picture except for her bright smile, which brightened up the picture and the person who would see it.Alexander couldn't stop himself from looking at those pictures again and again. And she is now different from the past. Looking at those pictures one last time, he turned the page and saw it was blank, then went to the next page. It was blank again, but then he foun
★★★★ "Hey, wait." Just as Sunny was about to start his bike when a voice heard behind him. He saw it was Bethany, and it made him think about the reason because she wasn't a kind of easy-going girl, but he found her interesting."Hi. Can I help you with something?" Sunny asked as he parked the bike, hooking the key in his finger he came to the woman, and his tone was so relaxing, just like a well-mannered man. And his accent was good too, more like a Scottish man. "Yes, help me by taking your wallet, which you have forgotten," said Bethany, extending her hand with his wallet. Sunny's hand also reached toward his pocket in a hurry, and yes, his pocket was empty. "Thank you. I didn't realize," Sunny took his wallet and said. He wanted to talk a little more with her, but Bethany shook her head and turned. "Bethany." he couldn't help himself from calling her. "Yes," Bethany turned and replied. Her eyes noticed his flushed ears. "Can I… have your number?" Sunny coughed to complete a
★★★ A man was sitting comfortably on a big divan, facing the fireplace, while his hand was holding a glass of whisky. Then suddenly, the corner of his lips lifted into a sneer and his voice resonated, "Hello, Satan. I was waiting for you."A big figure flapped his wings and flew toward the sitting man, and the man didn't sit back, he also turned into a devil, changing his green eyes to red and opening his black wings, while his wing took him higher to dodge the attack of Satan. "You never have done this in hell, but today you are on fire because of that girl. Isn't it amazing?" the red-eyed devil said and rushed to Satan, Alexander."As I've already declared in hell that only I can play with my prey and I will decide when she will die or how long she will live," Alexander growled at the devil and lobbed a punch toward him, but it didn't fall on the devil, however, it destroyed the ceiling. "You are breaking the rules. Her death has been written about a long ago, but you are stopp
★★★★ "Hey, girls… Umm. How's Paoli?" Danny asked, along with Isabella and Bethany. "As you care," one girl of Paoli's group rudely answered them. Last night because of Isabella she drank a lot and swore to take revenge on her but then they heard her accident news. "Don't be rude, we are also human. Our mentality is not the same as yours," Bethany retorted back angrily when Isabella grabbed her arms and dragged both of them from that group. "They're terrible," murmured Danny, while Isabella opened her mouth, "We can go to the hospital to visit her because we only have two classes today. There will be no fruit bickering with them.""Let's go to the class," Bethany said, and they headed towards the class, but to their surprise outside their class, they heard their principal's voice, so they quickly reached the door.With their arrival, everyone's attention turned toward them, and so did their principal. But a man was also standing next to their principal; as Isabella's eyes fell o
★★★ "Hey, Bella, what did Xavier say? Has he asked you for the date?" Danny raised a question, seeing Bella scrolling her phone so intently, her facial expression seemed much more relaxed than a few seconds ago, as if a calmness had just showered down on her head. "No, he is weird. Also, his words cannot be trusted. Furthermore, have you noticed that after our president changed, another member joined our college management, Mr. Xavier? When I met him last night at the bonfire, I thought he was a senior," Isabella murmured, placing the phone inside her bag. While she didn't mention the email, that didn't mean she didn't want to. She was planning to tell them later after visiting Paoli and George. "What? You've already met him!" A loud gasp with astonishing words came out of Bethany's mouth. "Yeah and I misunderstood him as a senior," replied Isabella and pivoted back sharply, jerking two innocent hearts as they almost leaped from their ribcage. "What the fuck are you doing?" Dan
★★★★ "Why?" Bethany asked as she braked the car side of the road. Danny and Bethany both turned their heads questioningly in the backseat to Isabella. "Got an email from that devil. He asked me to come to his company. He said I need to see a video about that marketing script, which is necessary, that he told," Isabella replied, then brought out her phone and opened the camera to see if she was ready as she was about to enter a reputable company. "Ah! Ask him about the salary," Danny said and handed her a small mirror and light-colored lipstick. "How will you go back to your house? Or call me. I will send my driver," Bethany suggested, looking at Bella."Don't worry, I am not a small girl. Also, I know how to hail a cab. Thank you for thinking so much about me. Now drive the car and the address is in my mail. Wait, let me open it first," Isabella said with a smile. She feels so pampered with both of them. "No need, I know the address, my father always talks about Luther's indust
★★★★"Yes boss," the man went stiff also his words, they left his mouth in fear. The hand which rose to hold Bella turned rigid in the mid-air. Bella looked at the man and felt bad because it was not his fault, either. There was a pile of files in front of his face, so this collision happened. Not only this but he was also scolded because he tried to help her without collecting the files. As she had already assumed that the devil wouldn't treat anyone well."Let me help you," Isabella said and was about to squat down to give him some help when Alexander roared again, "If you want him to get his full salary this month, let him do that."Isabella's disbelieving eyes couldn't help but gaze at the man and searched for his morals. There was not a single quality that could make Isabella feel good about this person. He is the devil not only in his personal life but also in his professional life.Hearing Alexander, Isabella didn't answer. He was clear, and she wouldn't want this nice man
