Tolerating The Player

ISABELLA’S POV

I had to run away from the scene immediately, what did Zach think he was doing? Creating an unnecessary scene in the presence of the whole school wasn’t worth it but I’ll let that slide.

“Fuck it!” I cussed as I ran into the female restroom. I haven’t recovered from what happened yet and how Aurora almost slapped me. My breathing was still really fast. I turned on the tap and splashed some water on my face. It felt refreshing so I wiped it off with the sleeve of my hoodie and walked out of the rest room.

Students ran towards my direction and I sensed they were coming for me. I immediately ran inside the rest room and locked the door as they all banged really hard on it.

“Don’t lock us out, we only want to ask some questions!” a girl yelled but I didn’t open the door. There was no other way for me to leave the rest room than to wait for them.

“Are you in a relationship with Zach” a girl outside the door cried and I assumed she must be one of Zach’s die hard fans. I didn’t respond to them as I rested my hand on the dressing table while staring at myself in the mirror.

“He loves her but she doesn’t even care for him, I wish he loved me instead” another girl cried. It definitely wasn’t the best time to go out because I can never tell what they would do to me. Some might as well rip my clothes off with the amount of anger in them.

Questions started to bother me and I decided to check Kiki’s blog to at least know what was really happening because I only happened to be in the scene, I was about to leave before Aurora started her nuisance.

I took out my phone from my pocket and opened Kiki’s blog. There were already a lot of blogs about me there that I didn’t know where to start from. I decided to start from the first one that was posted thirty minutes ago. I shook at the thought of that. Her blog was really powerful because it was posted in less than an hour and the whole school knows about it.

I opened the first one and started to read it. She claimed to be at the hospital where Zach was and overheard his conversation with his brother. My mind started to play some tricks on me as I was getting confused.

What if Zach really got into an accident because of me and I didn’t bother to go check up on him, I felt like a bad person for some time while I pitied him but then remembering what happened in the past and how he treated me made me counter that thought. He can never love me because he is totally a cruel stupid boy.

I was getting angry but there was no way I could go outside with the amount of angry girls at the other end of the door.

“Dammit!” I cussed aloud before I heard Maya’s voice outside the restroom. She was chasing the girls away, thank heavens.

After they were all gone she opened the door and I ran to hug her tightly. I had no idea why I hugged her that much but I really needed the hug and she understood as she hugged me back.

My hatred for Zach increased with the amount of lies he told and how he made people humiliate me today but I was glad Maya was here, besides the school was almost over.

“Let’s just go anyways, school will end in ten minutes time” Maya said as she pulled away from the hug and held my hands tightly. I could feel a lot of eyes piercing on our skins as we walked past almost everyone that was in the hallway. I hope I don’t get detention for being part of their scheme and disturbing the school.

She held my hands tight as we left the building and got into her car. Zach’s car was parked on the other side but he was seated in the passenger’s seat as he looked at me with a sad face. When he noticed I caught him staring at me he tilted his head outside the window that wasn’t facing us. I noticed Devin standing at the back of the car, he seemed to be on a call.

The drive started and Maya tried to cheer me up by playing my favourite band music on the radio in her car. I flashed her a smile as she waved her hands in the air singing and cheering the artist up.

“Maya! Hands on the wheel!” I yelled but half chuckled, the atmosphere in the car was lively but then she took a corner rather than going the same route we pass to her house.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Where are we going?” I asked as I looked at her face and she turned to look at me with surprise In her face.

“Are you dumb? Prom is in a week time you dumb fuck, it’s our last prom and we’re out of school!” she said with excitement and yelled at the top of her lungs as she chuckled.

I don’t know what to feel about the prom part because I really didn’t think I would go, but with Maya here there was no way I would escape it. She was happy about leaving highschool because her parents already enrolled her in Harvard and her dad being rich with a great status in the school, she was accepted with no stress so after highschool she’s going to Harvard immediately.

Mr Anderson also offered me admission to Harvard so I could be together with Maya but I didn’t think I would leave Joe all by himself here while I go somewhere far.

“Okay, so prom is in a week’s time but that didn’t answer the question of where we are going to” I said, calling and stressing out every word in the sentence.

“Oh! We’re getting our prom dresses and shoes, my dad’s credit card will cover up for everything” she flashed me the card and I chuckled. Sometimes I wondered how it’ll feel like being the daughter of a super rich person but there wasn’t a point in dreaming and having fantasies because I was just the daughter of a drunkard.

We arrived at the store and it looked really expensive from the outside. It was obvious that their clothes would be really expensive but Maya didn’t mind.

She talked to the person that was about to attend to us and he nodded his head before leading us to a special section.

“I came here some days ago and chose a lot of dresses that were to be reserved for us” she said and pointed to the beautiful gowns that were lined up on a hanger.

“I think I like this one” she said as she brought out a long straight gown that had the colour of her skin, it had a slit on one side from beneath her panties region. It looked really hot and sexy.

“It looks good too, boys would be drooling over you” I said and she chuckled before putting the dress on. It was good on the hanger but on her body it looked perfect.

“You look like an angel” I complimented and she smiled before checking herself on the mirror.

“You should check for clothes too, the ones here are awesome” she said and I scanned through the hanger. The clothes here were truly awesome and it was hard for me to decide on which to wear. I wanted something simple that wouldn’t cost a lot but everything here is above a thousand dollars.

My eyes finally caught a red short flay gown that had net all over the chest region but my boobs should be covered though. It looked simple yet elegant.

I pointed to it and tried it out, I looked totally gorgeous in the gown. Maya turned to look at me and opened her mouth in shock.

“You look like a model from the runway” she said with a voice she uses whenever she thinks something is too cute. Grace uses the same voice with Joe.

“Why didn’t I see this at first?” she blinked rapidly as she stared at me before pulling me into a hug.

“My best friend is the prettiest tingy alive” she said and I chuckled.

“Snap out of it!” I laughed because she was really getting to me.

We bought some shoes that matched our dresses and a lot of jewelry before leaving the store. The store attendant smiled at us and I wondered why she wouldn’t smile especially when Maya bought things worth almost five thousand dollars.

We entered her car but as she was about to drive she got a call from someone and I assumed it must be Frank. She removed the key from the car as she squealed in excitement while talking to him on the phone.

“Okay we’ll be right there” she replied and it seemed he didn’t understand what she meant by “we” because she shortly replied with “Isabella and I” before ending the call.

“Where are we going?” I asked as I stared at the happy expression on her face.

“There’s a party at Frank’s, it’s going to be our pre-prom party” she squealed and came out of the car gesturing at me to follow her back to the store.

I didn’t think I wanted to attend any party but with the look of things there was no way Maya would let me stay behind.

We ended up buying clothes we were going to wear to the party but these weren’t as expensive as the first one.

We went back to the car and she turned to look at me, “I guess we need to fix ourselves before leaving” she said and brought out her make up box that was in the booth of the car, before performing magic on our faces and in no time we looked like angels.

Since the glass of her car was tinted we both took turns to the back seat to change our dresses and when we were finally through. She started the car and we headed for Frank’s house.
