CHAPTER 6

I hurriedly head to my room and wash my face before picking out a pink off shoulder crop top with blue cargo pants and putting it on. I put a little lip gloss on my lips,style my hair nicely,put on my shoes and pick out a little bag before exiting my room and walking downstairs.

“Let’s go.” I tell Josh excitedly and we head to the car.

Josh pulls up in front of a magnificent house and i am stunned. Why should i be though? I mean a billionaire kid gotta have rich friends.

“You just love staring huh?” I hear Josh’s chuckle and i glare at him briefly before exiting the vehicle.

“Hey i didn’t mean to offend you.” He raises his hands in the air making me smile.

“Thought you were going out with your friends?” I fold my arms and raise my eyebrows.

“Umm yea,change of plans.” He scratches the back of his head.

I just shake my head and walk towards the building with Josh trailing behind me. I get to the door and proceed to knock on it when it swings open making me flinch.

“Don’t get scared,it recognised my face.” Josh says after sensing my fear but i give him a confused look.

“See this?” He points to a device on the wall. “It scanned my face,granting us entry.” He winks while smiling seductively before grabbing my hand and heading in.

“Okay i’ll try to get used to the rich people stuff.” I tell him and he chuckles.

“You’re cute.” He replies making me blush.

We walk into a room with a few kids laughing and gisting,my insecurities setting in and as if knowing so Josh squeezes my hand gently giving me an assuring smile when i look up at him. The small group consists of two extremely beautiful ladies and three hot guys.

‘Josh really took time in selecting his friends.’ My subconscious says and i smile slightly.

“Hello hottie!” One of the girls says and hugs Josh but even still,he doesn’t let go of my hand.

“Sup guys.” Josh says after breaking the hug and they all greet him before their eyes dart to me.

“Umm hi.” I nervously greet.

“Guys this is Mia. Mia,this is Miquel,Frank,Ross,Lucy and Cathy.” Josh introduces as i nod,taking a mental note of them.

‘Miquel is the green haired guy, Frank is the grey eyed guy, Lucy is the red haired girl who hugged Josh a while bacl, Cathy is the girl with braces and Ross is the black haired guy with a baddie look.’ I memorise.

“Hey Mia.” The girls greet in unison but Lucy doesn’t seem too happy to see me for some reason.

“Hello beauty.” Ross says,walking up to me with a flirtatious look.

“Okay,let’s get settled.” Josh quickly says and drags me to a seat. I sit on it and he settles down on another right beside me. For some reason,i couldn’t help but feel that Josh was protective of me and it made me smile.

“Your smile is really pretty.” I hear and i look beside me to see Ross. I turn to my right and see Josh glaring hard at Ross.

“Uhh thanks Ross.” I reply politely.

“So tell me Josh, where’d you meet this goddess?” He asks whilst making eye contact with me.

First of all, i get he’s complimenting me and being nice and blah blah but i’m cringing right here right now and secondly,why did he have to ask that? Now everyone’s gonna know that Josh and I are related.

“Yeah Josh,who’s she?” It’s Cathy’s turn to ask. Josh looks at me and pauses for a while.

“She’s someone very special to me.” He says confidently and i swear my heart did a flip.

“Special?” Ross and Miquel ask at the same time again.

“Yeah,she’s very dear to me so…” He pauses and pushes Ross slightly. “Back off punk.” He warns Ross.

I blush really hard seeing how possessive he is of me and i can’t help the smile forming on my lips. I look at Josh to see him staring at me already. I avert my gaze and lock eyes with Lucy who’s glaring at me hard for some reason, i wonder why she seems not to like me that much.

“Chill bro, i’m not a cannibal.” Ross raises his hand in defence.

“Enough! We’re here for fun guys.” Frank says and i smile in appreciation because there was a lot of tension in the air.

“Let’s play a game.” Frank speaks again.

“Yes,let’s play Truth or Dare.” Cathy says and everyone immediately agrees.

Of course it’s truth or dare we get to play,like there isn’t any other game in this world.

We play for a while and it’s actually fun, so far the bottle hasn’t spinned towards me so…. oh my,i guess i spoke too soon.

“Mia truth or dare.” Miquel asks.

“Uhh truth.”

“Okay then…how..many guys have you kissed?” He questions and i gulp down nothing.

“Umm i have kissed…three guys.” I reply and look at Josh. I wonder if it’s just me or Josh actually looks hurt. Is it because of my statement?

“Wow! You haven’t kissed a lot of guys.” Cathy says and i purse my lips.

“She’s lying.” Lucy says out of the blue diverting everyone’s attention towards her.

“How can you be so sure?” Cathy asks her.

“It’s not possible for a slut like her to….” Lucy starts but is rudely cut off.

“How dare you? Who do you think you are to call her a slut? And what makes her a slut?” Josh yells angrily as he rises up from where he is sitting.

“Josh i….” She tries defending herself but Josh is too angry to listen to her.

“Never in your life call my Mia a slut. In fact don’t look at her with those filthy eyes of yours.” He speaks angrily as i walk over to him to calm him down.

Was it only me that heard that or did he actually call me his Mia? I can’t believe he’s standing up for me. I’ve never felt so special.

“Calm down bro.” Frank tells Josh.

“Yea Josh. She didn’t mean it.” I tell him too but he ignores us and pins Lucy against a wall,making a motion as if to strangle her.

“Oh my God.” I gasp as i soon as i notice this and step in between Josh and Lucy.
