“You were rude to her, so you deserve everything and more." Nina voiced out. Hayes and his friends hang out at Mike's house. They had a lair where five of them hang most of the time.
“Why are you defending her? Is it because you're both on the same stupid team that's why you defend that fake ass bitch?" Austin asked, taking a drag of his cigar.
“First of all, smoking kills, and my team ain't stupid. Mila is the most real person you could ever find in Henry M. Gunn high school," she stated.
“Enough of the fake ass bitch, is there a party tonight?" Mike changed the topic.
“None that I've heard of," Austin answered.
“There is, actually." Hayes showed them a chat between him and Trisha, the school whore inviting them for a party at her house.
The issue about Mila and her drama was long forgotten.
“Hey, Naya." Willow greeted her.
“Hi Willow, she's up in her room." she directed.
“Okay, thanks," Willow added while climbing the staircase.
“Yo bitches, what's up!" Willow exclaimed as she entered Mila's room. Khalil was on the floor texting while Mila was doing homework.
“Nice to see you Willow." sarcasm dripped from her tone.
“I heard there's a party at Trisha's today," Khalil said.
“Today is Tuesday..." Mila shrugged.
“And, the first day back from summer break. It's her tradition to throw parties after the school reopens." he reminded.
“We are going, no buts Mila, live a little. Life's not about books, school, dance rehearsals, sleep, Netflix and chill, then food. YOLO, Mila, YOLO." Willow told her.
“Yes ma'am, I have no strength whatsoever to argue with you. By the way, since we are partying, what happens to Aaliyah?" she asked Willow.
“Well, she has a party and a sleepover at Kiera's, so she's covered," Willow added. She cared about her sister, though she wasn't super overprotective of her, she watched over her from a distance.
“ What time is the party tonight?" Mila asked.
“It's at 7 pm," Khalil answered.
“Okay, we'd pick you and Jake up at 7:30 pm, we're going late," Willow said.
“Alrighty, I'd better go get some rest before the party, see you later and dress sexy." he left the room and descended the staircase.
“See you later Naya." he bid her goodbye as he headed out to his car.
“Do you have everything?” Trisha squealed as she chewed her gum.
“Yes, we've got the punch, the bar is stocked with plenty of drinks, we've got chips, sour gummies, skittles, chocolate bars, water, and the songs have been chosen, so I guess that's it." Gloria, one of her subordinates, added.
“All right, then, we're ready to paaaarty!" Trisha yelled.
"And, by the way, the pool has been cleaned," Annie added.
“That's more like it, what time is it?” She inquired of no one in particular.
"It's 6 p.m.," Gloria replied.
"Come on, we've got to get ready!" Trisha gave the order.
"It's going to be a good night," she said to no one in particular.

“Naya, we're off to the party and we will be back late. Don't stay up, you need rest." Mila told her caretaker.
“Have fun and don't do what I won't do." she winked at the girls as they headed out.
Mila picked her grey jeep wrangler 2021 model. She parked it in front of the house for Willow to get in. If she was going to a party, she had to do that in style.
“Oh yeah, baby!" Willow exclaimed as they drove to Khalil's house. His house wasn't far from Mila's, but it wasn't a short walking distance either, so we could say it's kinda far.
“Khalil!" Willow called honking the horn.
“Enough, Willow." Mila scolded, but instead, she honked harder.
“Hi, Willow, hi Mila," Jake smirked while getting in the car.
“Jeez Will, do you want to burst our eardrums?" Khalil rolled his eyes at her as he joined his friends.
“Nice car Bennett." he praised.
“Thanks, Adam," she replied as she zoomed off to the party.
The party was in full swing when they got there. The house was filled up with a lot of upfront parking.
Music was playing from the house but it wasn't too loud as typical house parties were.
“She did well throwing a cool party," Mila suggested as they got off the jeep.
“Trisha throws only cool parties, at least that's the only thing she's good at." Willow chuckled as they walked in. Just as Mila thought, the inside of the house was extravagant. It reeked of money, but for now, it began to reek of alcohol and weed.
“Let's get something to drink," Willow suggested. Jake and Khalil had dashed off to only God knew where.
“Hi, please we'd like two mocktails to go please," Mila ordered.
“Coming right up, hot stuff." the bartender winked at her.
“Here's your drink Will." she handed over her drink as the doors opened revealing Hayes and his friends.
“Ah, the devil's incarnate made it at last," Mila smirked.
“Yhup and so did his minions." Willow chipped in.
“He cleans up real nice though, I compliment him for that," Mila stated.
“That he does, he looks yummy, I could eat him," Willow said as Mila stared at her friend as if she had grown two heads.
“Just when I thought I'd had enough of fakey -two-shoes, she shows up here." Hayes groaned loud enough for Mila to hear.
“Oh, don't worry you'd live...besides you've lived with yourself for the past 18 years, what could be worse than that?" Mila shaded as his face darkened.
“Watch it, Bennett," Mike chimed in.
“Oh come on Mikey, not you too. It's a Miller- Bennett thing, so you run along...shoo now." Willow added, making Nina and Natalie chuckle.
“There you are handsome." Trisha cut in glaring at Mila.
Willow dragged her friend outside for fresh air, as Hayes glared intensely at them.
“I could help you blow some steam off." she twirled her finger around her hair.
Mike, Austin, Nina and Natalie walked off in different directions.
“I'd love that very much." he slid his hand up her top as he grazed his fingers over her nipples, making her moan lightly.
She held his hands and led him up to her room as she locked the door.
“Now, where were we?" she pulled her top off making Hayes swallow hard.
“We leave you for two minutes and you're at it with Miller again?" Khalil said behind the girls.
“Oh hello to you too Adams," Willow added sarcastically.
“It's not my fault he hates me for no reason, besides it's fun getting under his nerves," she smirked.

What are we watching tonight?" Vanilla asked as she set the caramel popcorn in between them.
“We are binge-watching the resident, I heard it's a good show and there are a couple of hotties in there," Kiera suggested.
“It's actually a good show, I've watched bits of it and it's great," Aaliyah added.
“Alright, the resident it is," Vanilla stated as she pressed play on the remote.
“Dr Okafor and her so-called Mentor, Dr Austin make a good team and will make a good couple," Kiera said swooning.
“Dr Pravesh is soo, handsome. Look at his nose and dimples." Aaliyah fangirled.
“Conrad, and Nic...get back together already!" Vanilla exclaimed as they burst into uncontrolled laughter.
“Um, why is Hayes glaring at you?" Jake asked Mila at the table. “I guess he likes what he sees," she said loud enough for him to hear. “Ha! you wish, I'd rather stick it in a hole than to fuck you, Ms fakey," he replied in the same tone, loud enough for everyone to hear. There were murmurs of 'burns' and 'she deserves it' but she masked it with a dry laugh. “I'll bet the hole doesn't get STDs from you since you can't help but stop sticking it in every skirt you see," she smirked at him. “Scowls don't look good on you, Miller." she winked at him. “At least I get laid, but you never have ever since Ace Smith, does that ring a bell?" he laughed walking off. Ace was a sour topic for Mila and her friends. He was a past she wanted to keep buried, but it seems that won't be the case anymore now that Hayes had brought it up. The whole cafeteria went silent as Mila and her friends walked out. “You crossed the lineman,"
Mom, dad?" Mila was shocked to see her parents in the kitchen when she got back from school.“Hi hunny, how was school today?" her mom asked.“It was fine, how come I didn't know you were coming home today?" she asked taking a can of soda from the fridge.“Oh, we were just coming for some documents and decided to wait for you to close from school before we left," he told.“Safe trip back." she walked towards the stairs.“Can we get a hug or a kiss from you at least?" her mom inquired.“No, all you care about is work this and work that, oh how about you adapt your work as your child then you can ask for hugs and kisses. No wonder Noel and Niel decided to be far away from you." she finished walking up the stairs.“Mila Louie Bennett, apologise to your mom right now or else---“Else what dad? I'd be grounded or my cars were taken away from me, oh wait you'd send me off to a military
We thought you'd gone with Austin?" Willow asked. “Nope, he's got basketball practice, they claim they have a match on Friday," she said approaching the girls. “So are we still up for a sleepover today?" Willow asked. Raine had asked the girl's over at her house for a sleepover. She wanted to know them much better. “Of course we are. But I need a ride home. My ride wouldn't be done with practice anytime soon and I don't want to ride with Nina and Natalie either." she begged. “Sure we can drop you off, come on," Mila added as they headed off to the parking lot where her jeep was parked. “I love your ride, whoever this is for." she chuckled. “Thanks, it's mine, Willow drives us on Thursday and Friday," Mila explained. “This is my stop, you guys meet me here tonight so I direct you home for the sleepover." Raine bid her friends goodbye as they drove off. The junction where she alighted was just 10 seconds walk from her house. “Maybe she wants to surprise us, that's why she didn't
“ Watch where you're going, Miller," Mila said to him before he almost bumps into her.“ Urgh, why do I always, always get into an argument with you Fakey?" he sighed.“Trust me, I hate it too. I wonder why your sister is so cool and you and a dumbass," she added. She saw a flash of hurt in his eyes before masking it up with a smirk.“Because she's just a loser like you, you think alike," he added.“ Tsk, tsk, tsk. Very funny." she shook her head at him as Trisha approached him.“Hey, babe, " she glared at Mila.“It's Hayes, Trudy," he said to her, making Mila and a few of the students chuckle.“ I understand you don't want to put a label on it and it's Trisha." she corrected as Hayes winked at another girl in the crowd walking off.“Don't you dare, don't," Mila added, sensing Trisha was going to warn her about staying away from Hayes and how they belonged. She wasn't ready
“ Austin, Austin! Just leave, get out." Raine stabbed her finger on his chest.“ Just let me explain, please," he begged.“ There's nothing to explain, I saw you and the funny part was that you dumped me. So what the heck do you want here after a week?" she asked.“ I, I -um..." he rubbed his neck.“ Ha! Wait, wait a minute. You're broke and you need money. Sorry to burst your bubble but there's no more money for you and your pathetic self." she insulted turning on her heels towards the stairs.“ Raine, Raine, please don't do this. Raine!" he yelled on top of his lungs.“ That's the door Austin, and don't set your feet in here again, if you do..." she trailed off walking up the stairs ignoring his pleas.What and whom does he take me for?A fool?“ I'm getting married to your mom, goddammit!" Cole yelled on top of his lungs.“ So? What do yo
“ We need the deets girl, how did it go?" Both Raine and Mila said at the same time.“Chill, calm your tits girls." Willow smiled as they walked towards the stall on the beach to get food to eat. They had gone out on a girls day with Aaliyah and her friends as well. Just to blow off steam.“Naah, we're too eager to calm down. Now spill!"Mila ordered.“ Can we get some food first, woman?" Willow rolled her eyebrows.“ Fine, but just cause we're star----Mila stood as her eyes grew wide as saucers. She saw the guy who forced herself on her pass-by.When did he become a free man?How come she never heard of his release?Raine and Willow followed her gaze and also saw him. Raine had the same expression Mila had. Willow was just angry. He did the craziest thing by smirking at them as he walked off.“ Did he just?!" Willow burst out. She almost stormed over to him but Mila and Raine held her
Earth to Raine," Khalil said, startling her.“Yeah?" she said, pushing her food around on her plate. Ever since she saw Asher at the beach she had been edgy and uncomfortable.“You alright?" Jake asked as she nodded. She's been living ever since that day. She just goes home to pick up clothes and come back to hers. Not that Mila disliked the idea, but she was worried about her friend.“What if he comes back?" she found herself asking."Then he's got all of us to deal with. We're much stronger now. We've got each other back now. He can't harm you, Raine." Willow squeezed her hand.“Seriously Hayes?" he stood there smirking. He had dumped a cup of coffee all over Mila's shorts.“The colour looks good on you though," he burst out into laughter."Low move man, low move," Khalil said to him"What you gonna do about it gay boy? Huh?" he asked."Hayes Miller, my office now!" the principal bellowed,
Niel and Neo had left for school a week ago and Willow and Raine were a little grumpy. Willow had missed her boyfriend, Raine had missed Niel. Those two had a strong connection going on but hadn't worked on it, knowing very well they liked each other. Niel and Neo we're of the same height, 6'8. Olive skinned, handsome but had different eye colours. Neo had dark brown eyes while Niel had deep grey eyes. Niel was a little heavier than his twin and had dimples. Neo had pink cute lips rather than dimples.The tension between those two was so thick it could be sawed into half. Mila, Aaliyah, Vanilla and Kiera had planned a little surprise for those two to make them feel better.With the help of Aaliyah and her friends, they were able to clear out her lair and turn it into a home cinema. They had selected a couple of movies such as; To all the boys I've loved; Always and Forever, The prom, Raja and the lost dragon, and the wish dragon, and Luna.Naya helped prepare snacks for the movie nigh
