Chapter 17
✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿
The girls were served drinks and they collected it before taking a sip out of it.
Avery didn't come cos she had to stay with her mum for urgent reasons.
"Angelo is staring at you Chelsea" Doris said and winked at her.
Chelsea turned her face to Angelo and saw him staring but he quickly looked away.
"Maybe he loves you" Emma said wiggling her brows and Chelsea chuckled.
"He doesn't love me. He said he doesn't do love cos love makes one stupid" Chelsea said.
"He might be lying" Doris said.
"He looked so serious about it. I don't think he's lying" Chelsea said and sighed.
"But....."
"Let's stop talking about Angelo. Please" She interrupted Emma.
"Okay" They said and continued drinking from their drinks.
Meanwhile,
"Doris is looking so sexy" Alexis muttered and clicked his tongue as he stared at Doris.
"Whatever" Adrian said with an eye roll.
"The dragon is coming" Alexis said referring to Linda who sashayed towards them.
She stopped in front of Angelo and smiled at him.
"Can we talk?" She asked.
"No"
"Please. It won't take a minute" She said and he rolled his eyes.
"Fine" He said and stood up.
He followed her out of the yard to a corner.
"What do you want?"
"Why are you always with Chelsea? You know she's the ugly scar girl right?" Linda asked instead.
"I'm aware but she's no longer ugly. She's pretty, way prettier than you Linda" He said a with a smirk and she gasped.
"What did you say?" She asked.
"She's way prettier than you" he said and she raised her hands to slap him but he held her wrist tightly making her wince.
"You have no fúcking right to lay those filthy hands on me" He said glaring dangerously at her.
"You were nice to me before Angelo, why did you change?" She asked crying already.
"That's because you were like me. You bully people and back then, I fancied it but now, I found out it's totally useless. I now wonder what I gained from bullying innocent people who were just like me" He said and threw her hands off.
"I warned you to stop bullying but you wouldn't listen. I might as well just take you out of the school with just a snap of my finger" he said and put his hands in his pockets.
"You won't dare" She said with a small smirk.
He smiled and turned to go but stopped. He turned the side view of his face to her.
"You wouldn't want me to tell everyone that you pushed Chelsea down the stairs would you?" He asked and she gulped.
"But you were the one who gave me the idea" She said and he faced her.
"When? The only thing I asked you to do was to deal with her not to kill her" He said.
"Stay away from Chelsea now that I'm still nice" He warned before walking away.
Linda squatted to the ground as she started crying.
Chelsea who was listening to them gulped and blinked back her tears.
'So she's the one that wanted me dead? But why did Angelo keep this from me?' She thought before walking away.

"Alright everyone. It's time for the birthday song then games. So everyone gather round so we'll sing a happy birthday song for Mina" The MC announced.
Mina stood at one side of the yard where everyone can see her as she smiled.
"Happy Birthday To You. Happy birthday to you Happy birthday, Happy birthday, Happy Birthday To You!! Hip, hip, hip!! Hurray!!" The guests sang happily excluding Linda and Chelsea who looked lost in thought.
After singing for her, it was time for the games.
Everyone gathered on the ground at the garden close to the pool. The garden was quite big enough to contain them all.
Mina sighed as she stared at them before going to sit at a chair there.
A waiter served her a glass of wine which she collected and took a sip out of it.
"Worst party ever" She muttered sipping from her juice.
"Can I join you?" A voice asked and she looked up to see Adrian.
She looked away before speaking.
"If you want to" She muttered before sipping from her glass.
"Why aren't you playing with them? It's your birthday after all" He asked and she sighed.
"Today doesn't feel like my birthday" She muttered and he raised a brow.
"What do you mean?"
"I never wanted this party in the first place. It was Linda who forced me to do a party. I'm supposed to be given all the attention cos it's my birthday but I'm getting none. No much people even wished me happy birthday. They only sang the song cos they were forced to and even then, some didn't sing. I would have just celebrated the party with my dad at home instead of wasting his money on a stupid party that brings me no joy" She said and wiped the tears that threatened to fall.
He stared at her feeling bad for her already.
"Sorry for that. But can I take you somewhere?" He asked and she looked at him.
"Somewhere that'll make you happy" He muttered and she nodded.
"Let's go" He said and stretched his palm for her.
She looked at his palm before dropping hers on his. He stood up and pulled her up.
They both walked out of the house and entered his car which drove off.

"We're going to play truth and dare. If you can't do the dare or don't want to, you'll take one glass of strong liquor. If you don't want to answer the question, you'll take one glass of strong liquor. You can only choose truth 3 times then everything will be dare. Does everyone understand?" A girl asked and everyone nodded.
Chelsea and her friends were inside the pool. Same with Angelo and his friends excluding Adrian.
The girl got a bottle and spinned it. It landed at Emma and she gulped.
"Truth" She muttered.
"Is it true you have a crush on one of the guys here?" The girl asked.
"Yes" She said and everyone gasped.
They began murmuring among themselves.
"It's okay" Emma said and spinned the bottle. It landed on Linda.
"Dare" Linda said and Emma smirked.
"I dare you punch yourself really hard on the face" Emma said and Linda rolled her eyes.
"I can't destroy my face because of a b*tch like you" She said and drank the glass of liquor.
She then rolled her eyes at Emma before spinning the bottle. It landed at Alexis.
"Truth" He said.
"How many girls have you f**ked?" She asked with a smirk.
"A lot" He muttered before spinning the bottle. It landed at Doris.
"Dare"
"I dare you to slap any body of your choice and the person she slaps has no right to retaliate" He said and she stood up.
She walked over to Linda who looked up at her..
"You won't..." She couldn't complete her words because Doris slapped her pretty hard on the face that her five fingers showed.
"I dared" She said and walked back to where she sat.
She spinned the bottle and it landed on Angelo. She smirked.
"Dare"
"I dare you to kiss any girl of your choice" She said and he smiled.
He stood up and began walking towards Linda.
Chelsea stared at him before bitting her lips. A tiny part of her really wants him to kiss her but the other part says otherwise.
He bent in front of Linda and she closed her eyes anticipating for the kiss.
He smirked and stood up before walking to Chelsea.
He squatted in front of her and she gasped.
Linda's eyes were still closed as she waited for the kiss.
"Can I?" He whispered and she bit her lips.
"It's a dare. You can do whichever you want" She whispered back.
"Okay I'll go and drink the liquor" He said and was about to stand up but she pulled him back.
"Don't. Do the dare" She said and and he chuckled.
He cupped her cheeks and titled his head sideways before leaning down to capture her lips.
👤 "OMG!!"
👤 "Gosh!!"
👤 "I love this!!"
Murmurs from the people gathered around made Linda opened her eyes.
She gasped as she stared at the scene before her.
