A roar ofughter erupted from everyone. He red at the other people, signaling for them to be quiet, and they did obey hismand.
"I-I did not mean to get in your way. But-"
After his gaze had returned to me, I paused for a moment. Because of his dark eyes, I was unable to move or speak because I was so captivated by them.
"What exactly are you doing here?" He questioned me with gritted teeth.
His question astonished me. Before I could answer his question, another voice rang out.
"I invited her. She is my friend."
I turned around and noticed Luke. I felt rxed when he came to my rescue. Abigail was alongside him. He came up to me and held my hand.
"Are you okay?" Luke asked me.
Without uttering a single word, I simply nodded my head.
"When did you start making friends with nerds?"n asked with a careless tone.
I felt hurt by his question. I lowered my head, trying to conceal my emotions behind my sses.
"Don''t speak about her like this,n. She had done nothing to you. Stop picking on her unnecessarily."
"Excuse me? Did you say I was picking on her? Like, seriously? Don''t I have anything else to do in my life?"
"Ian, leave it. Let''s drink," his best friend, Ronald Sce, said to him. 3
"Yeah, it''s better if we continue the party. I have no intention of arguing either." Luke let out a sigh while gazing
atn.
He rolled his eyes and turned around to rejoin his friends.
Luke turned to me, saying,
"I am so sorry."
I raised my head to look at him. "For what?"
"You almost got lost at the party. I should have weed you from the outside."
"No, it''s okay."
"You came to my party and received a lot of attention, which you did not want. It''s my fault."
I looked around at the other people who were still looking at me with judgmental eyes.
I told Luke that he did not need to be concerned about me. He then introduced me and Abigail to some of his friends.
His friends were decent, just like him. They were kind people. They did not judge me based on my looks or appearance.
Abigail wanted to dance, while Luke was chatting with his friends. So I went to sit on a couch near them. Abigail tried to persuade me to go with her. But I had enough for the day. I had no desire to receive any further attention. Therefore, I did not agree to apany her. 1
My eyes traveled all the way around the surface of the pool. My eyes fell onn once again. I had no idea why my eyes were always drawn to this bad boy.,
What was the feeling all about?
I was not the type of girl who could get involved with a bad boy. I was not like the other girls he had slept with. He always spent the night with girls who eagerly wanted to be yed by him. As if the girls would gain a reputation for warming his bed.
I noticed he was looking at a girl while sipping on his drink. My focus shifted to the girl. My eyes nearly popped out when I saw her strip off her dress and reveal her white bikini, exposing her almost naked body to seducen.
Everyone started to cheer for her. She winked atn and dove into the pool. A few minutester, some other girls joined her in the pool.
For some unknown reason, my heart ached.
