Kapitel 9: Bitches got perfect slaps on their faces.

★★★

Four girls entered with their snappy steps, their heels clicking on the restroom floor, and their vulgar high scented perfume just percolated into the restroom as they walked in.

"We don't have time shitting with you guys. Move on," Bethany said annoyingly. Her two fingers just pressed to the tip of her nose because the smell of those girls wafted and gave her a headache.

But looking at Bethany's daring, Alexy and her group blazed in anger. Their painted cat eyes were scrunched at them and their steps become violent from stylish as they approached them.

"How dare you? Do you know how much our perfume costs?" Rinnai opened her mouth first, who was closely related to Alexy, as they were cousins.

"Well, ours from Gucci and Channel, and they smell great," Danny smugly said, not because they wanted to talk about the brand, but because they gave a quick reminder that Rinnai and Alex's perfumes are not from the same brand as this group was obsessed with parading brand names.

"Huh, ours are customized by Versace," Rinnai again said where Alexy gritted her teeth in envy, looking at Isabella because of the beauty she has, especially without wearing makeup.

"Shit man, I was thinking of purchasing Versace but now I've changed my mind because they are producing shit by taking shit suggestions from some people who do not know how to smell good," Bethany said, and they laughed together with all their heart as they were enjoying insulting Alexy's group.

"Good one, Beth," Danny praised.

"keep on laughing, bitches. What about this middle chick? We know you two have money. That's why you are flaunting, but what about your best friend? I was wondering how you two of you made friends with this one, although she has an appearance but doesn't have class and a scholarship girl should be with scholarship one. Don't you think, Bella?" Rinnai again poked, but this time on Isabella because she was the only one who was not as rich as them.

"Talk to us, idiots," Danny fumed, while she tightened her fist to punch this woman's face. They can hear anything, but they won't tolerate it if someone puts Isabella in a tizzy. She was about to step forward when Isabella hold her fist and stopped her from doing something which was not worth it.

"You don't have to know why she is with us, but one thing I can confidently say is, she smells pure and heaven, which you won't get in perfume. But you can ask Versace to make something as pure and heavenly as I describe, but don't forget to mention that you got the smell from Isabella." Bethany's tone wasn't polite. With a lot of ridicule, she spat on Alexy's group.

It was also necessary because Danny was a short-tempered girl. So there was a high chance that she could beat this group in the restroom without mercy.

"Let's go," Isabella murmured. Throughout the conversation, she didn't even say a single word because she didn't like this kind of thing. If someone disrespected her, she was just totally okay with that. And that didn't mean she was submissive, but because they don't deserve her time.

When someone disrespected you by calling you poor, there was nothing you could do because you can't be rich overnight. That is the reason she always kept her mouth shut, and she is confident that one day her position will answer everyone's questions.

Suddenly Alexy stopped right in front of Isabella, her overly exaggerated cat eyes narrowed at her, the hatred perfectly displayed all over her face, and all because of Bella's beauty.

"Our college is again participating in a day-night football tournament. Also, I heard there will be your long-time foe Elizabeth is taking part with her team. What about you? Are you still thinking of cowering behind your friend?" Alexy quipped Isabella's long-standing pain, which she had kept hidden for all these years.

It fell on Isabella's head like thunder, and she froze on the spot. Her tears quickly gathered in her eyes, but they didn't flow. She took a step forward, narrowing the little distance between them. She looked straight at Alexy with her red eyes as they turned red in emotion.

"You will see me on the playground if you are playing my opposite. And on the playground, you know you are nothing against me as well as Elizabeth. She is not my enemy and I don't think she is my competitor," Isabella spat every word on Alexy with a stern tone and left.

On the other hand, Bethany and Danny pushed the other three who were with Alexy and walked out, following Isabella.

"Bitches got perfect slaps on their faces."

Hearing them, the entire group gritted their teeth while Alexy held the basin and looked in the mirror. Her eyes were ruthless and full of brutality. Also, there was a determination to take revenge on Isabella.

"Oh my God! Bella, you are savage, but why didn't you slap her?" Danny said in a beaming voice. She didn't think Isabella will strike back because she hates to meddle in nonsense things.

"Can we go to Hailey's house?" Isabella asked as she stopped and turned. Her eyes were talking a lot. Bethany and Danny were well aware of it.

"Yes, after the bonfire. We always said and we say that Bella that was not your fault. Even Hailey agreed, and don't let your guilt overwhelm you because that thing didn't happen because of you. It was pre-planned," Danny said as her arms reached to hold Isabella for a hug.

"I know, and one day I will discover the conspiracy. I will not let Hailey's sacrifice go in vain," Isabella said in a firm voice. She hasn't forgotten that whole incident that was conspired by someone. It was just she was lucky, but Hailey was not.

"Yes, let's go now," said Bethany, hugging both of them and patting their backs.

After that three of them walked at a slow pace, not in a hurry to go to the bonfire. Also, Isabella got a call from her father. He inquired if Bella needed a ride, but she gushed about their bonfire, also added that her friends would stay at her home tonight and they wished to eat chili mushrooms. And her papa gladly accepted it.

There was a towering figure, looking outside at them, from a casement window. His hot breath fell on the glass making it blur, but the haze in his mind have gathered after encountering Bella was something hard for him to ignore.

At that moment, he was occupied with running thoughts. Suddenly, his phone rang.

"Sir, are you coming to the office? Someone is here to meet you who said he is your distant brother." a phone call Alexander got was something Alexander wasn't expecting, and he wasn't interested in going because he had planned something else for tonight. There was also a thing he despised if someone interfere in his life that's why he needed to go.

"Well, ask him to wait in my chamber. I will be there within a minute," said Alexander in a stern tone that was clearly annoyed. As he hung up the call, he turned and looked at the scattered table and dialed a number again.

"Come to my room."

"Yes, sir." The voice trembled while answering, and the man fell on his seat as soon as the beep reached his ear.

"What is happening? We approached him earlier so that he would come and bring more popularity to his college, but who knew this time he would come, but with an enormous shock," the principal held his hair in despair. His days were going smoothly, but with this devil, he is confident that from now on, good days will not come in his life.

As Bethany and Danny said, the place was freezing, as if it was a winter's night. Everyone was circling the bonfire, and those who were not around the bonfire were immersed in making out.

Bethany wore a denim jacket while Danny wore a shrug and Isabella covered her exposed arm with a scarf that Danny gave her. Although she offered her first shrug, Isabella said she was fine with the scarf as she wasn't as cold as them.

"I am freezing, let's go near the Bonfire. I'll be frozen chick right here," Bethany said, her voice quivering just in a few seconds of coming here.

"Yes, this damn place is freezing like Antarctica. And these dickheads don't know why every time they choose this place. Bella, how are you not bothered?" Danny said and placed her hand on Isabella's arm.

"Wow, Bella, your body temperature is normal."

"Damn, girl. Danny is right," Bethany commented after Danny, and Isabella rolled her eyes at them.

"Allow us to stick with you." Two frozen chickens clutched Isabella's arm and came to the fire.

The fire was burning tall and round it all known faces they could see, some of them smiling at them and the majority completely ignored them, which was expected as they do not know them well.

Three of them sat near the Bonfire. also, their place was less crowded and that was what they wanted. Although Bethany and Danny came to enjoy the fire, waiting to have a drink, Isabella was waiting for Noah. Just then, a hand closed Isabella's eyes from behind and the smell was familiar.
