"Bella," two voices shouted to Isabella when she was reading the noticeboard about their upcoming campaign.
Bella swung her head to the way from where her name was called. She smiled and walked to Danny and Bethany.
"You two didn't call me for the past two days," Bella said and saw her friends roll their eyes. She slapped them on the arms and asked, "Why?"
"Because we gave Alexander times to leave hickeys on your neck," Beth said and stretched her lips with annoyance at Bella's overacting. She didn't care about their call while spending time with Alexander. Now she was pretending to be innocent.
"Are they visible?" Bella asked in horror. She did cover them well with the makeup and doubled check it. Then where she made a mistake.
"No," Danny answered, crossing her hand near her chest. She drew her brows close and huffed a breath of fuss.
"Bunch of liars." Bella held her phone camera to see her hickeys, but none was visible.
"Such a prude friends," she added in the end.
"Mention your name too, miss Isabella, who forgets her friends as she got a new chick boyfriend," Beth taunted and handed her the campaign poster. This would be their last campaign, as this coming winter they were about to graduate.
"Not for me," said Isabella and flung the page away from her hand.
"Are you wanting to spend your whole time having sex?" Danny blurted without beating around the bush. Bethany held her smile, placing her hand in front of her mouth, and enjoyed the bluntness.
"What nonsense are you spewing? We haven't done that, also, I have never been on any campaign last two years. So, this year is no exception. My reason is simple if you can think with a clear mind," Bella answered, creating a pissed face at Danny. She thought of telling the things that had happened to her, but hearing their taunt, she stopped her words in her stomach. Who knows what kind of slur they would spout if she confessed?
"O, stop it! Both of you. We'll talk about this campaign later. Let me inform Bella of our plan," Beth said excitedly.
"What plan?" Bella asked when her eyes caught Noah coming with an unknown woman.
"I have to go to Demia city to attend a royal party on behalf of my father. And I am not going alone," Beth expressed her thoughts, and she had arranged everything for the three of them. However, it didn't matter whether Bella would agree or not because she had to go with them eventually.
"Wow! An excellent opportunity to find a prince. Go for it, Beth," Isabella said with a smile to annoy her friend. However, she was about to get shocked.
"Mr. prince called her every day. No need to look for another prince," said Danny, sprinkling a little flavor of the drama that had been going on between Sunny and Bethany.
"Who?" Bella asked, looking at both of them. Bethany turned red, and she grasped Danny's mouth to stop her from blurting.
"Let her speak, Beth. I am your friend too. I deserve to know about you," Isabella angrily said. She didn't call for two days and they started hiding something.
"Mr. Sunny," Danny answered as soon as Bethany draw her palm away from her mouth.
"What? Sunny! Our Sunny?" Bella asked with a dumbfounded voice as her gaze shifted to Beth and saw her hide her eyes from her.
"Yes, whom she loathed earlier," Danny continued.
"I didn't loathe him," Bethany answered Danny, then wad her eyes to Bella. "I am not in love. Neither is he my boyfriend. We just talked."
"Do you want me to believe in your hoax? Don't you know rumors won't spread unless it has the coal," Bella said with a wink at Danny. She did not know who was right between them, but if this thing was true, then she would be happier than ever because Sunny was a good boy and he would make her happy by any means, she believed.
"You two are such an ass. But please continue this later and listen to my plea," Beth said, bringing out her phone from her bag.
"No Beth, don't drag me into this," answered Bella with her hands up, taking her out of whatever plan Beth had plotted. She had a situation and after the incident, she did not dare to defy Alexander's word.
"And my ears failed to listen to your shit. Leave a text to your man that tonight you'll stay at your house because your dad asks you. That's it," Beth said without leaving a flaw as if she had thought about it a long ago.
"No, I can't," Bella denied, rubbing her forehead. She looked at Beth and took a step back when she felt the woman was about to explode.
"Have you become a married Karen? Stop scattering shit. Beth has brought the dresses for us to wear to the party," Danny said. She used her voice to support Beth and her words were necessary at that moment, which stopped Beth from getting flared.
"Alright, but we have to manage two people who were outside the college," Bella notified them with an awkward smile. She did not want to tell them about the arrangement, but she had to.
"Who?" Beth asked with a scowl.
"Um! Don't laugh. Alexander has arranged for two people to look after me as he left the town for two days," Bella let out a sigh as she said.
"You mean bodyguard?" Danny asked her with the exact implication of her words.
"No, not bodyguards. They work in the mansion. One of them is my chauffeur," Bella said.
"Alright. Then it would be easier than telling Alexander. So it's final," Danny said and Beth smiled, knowing there would be girls' fun and Bella could not say no. On the other hand, Bella felt trouble inside. What if Alex found out?
"Hey, everyone," Noah came to them with that same girl, who quickly wrapped her hand around Noah's arm as she saw the group.
