Chapter 3

Chapter 3 :  Pissing off Shantell is as dangerous as it was pissing off Hitler.

" Will you stop looking at me like that?" I said to Amber, giving her a pointed look. 

Shantell sighs from beside me and turns towards me. I know what she's gonna say because that scowl on her face gives away that she's annoyed.

" Why do you have to act like a b***h?" she questions me.

I know you all must be thinking what is going on.So this is what happened this morning when i was busy trying to take down all the notes Mr. Johnson was giving , I got a text message from Shantell telling me to meet her at The Blue Lagoon Cafe as soon as i was done with my lecture.

So behold my frown when i strolled into the cafe half an hour later all tired from the lecture and saw a smirking Shantell in our regular booth along with Amber. 

I knew it was not going to be something nice with the way S was smirking.

And that smirk came in the form of a frat party. A party which Shantell was very much interested in.

And she wasn't going to back down without making me agree to go to the party with her. 

" I m acting like a b***h? Wow, ain't it feeling great to see you siding with A." I rolls my eyes as i speak.

I know I m acting like a b***h and a child for that matter. But i can't help it .

" I know siding with A is not always a bright idea." Amber tries to interferes, but before she could speak Shantell motions her to stop with her hand.

Amber closes her mouth shut because she knows when Shantell is annoyed not to mess with her.

" But its been a month since college started and you haven't even been to a single party with us." Shantell tries to reason with me.

I sigh loudly. I knew this was about to pop up one time or the other.

" Guys, you know i m not one for parties and stuff." I reply looking down.

" Oh please, b***h. If it would have been upto you, you would have taken every party by storm yet. But what I don't understand is that why aren't you going to any one of them?" Shantell scoffs at me.

" Yeah. You are not the shy type girl Mae. Is everything alright?" that is Amber this time.

Shantell snorts." SO nice of you Amber for finally taking time out for us from your precious love life."

Amber looks guilty and murmurs an apology. What Shantell was trying to say was true. Amber had actually started spending less time with us since she started dating Chase. In the beginning Shantell was very pissed off with Amber but then she eventually saw that Chase was actually making her happy.

All i ever hoped that if Chase ever decides to break Amber's heart, he needs to be ready to face the consequences. Because pissing off Shantell is as dangerous as it was pissing off Hitler.

" Now all I know is that Mae, me, A and that pathetic little excuse of your boyfriend are going to the party tonight and that's final." Shantell declared leaving no room for argument.

Amber squealed in delight and I just sat there thinking how the amount of teenage hormones I was going to witness tonight.

Shantell whistled as she turned me around as if I was her masterpiece she needed to finish well. I would  even think that i was her masterpiece considering the fact that she had been dolling me up from the past 1 and half an hour. And with the way she was smiling it was quite noticeable that she was pleased with the outcome.

I turned around to take a look in the mirror and i had to give it to Shantell. I looked like someone who was't burried with all the college work and the outfit added some color to my face too.

I hadn't looked this good in a while and i was really glad. That's it i Maeve Grace Brown was going to have the time of my life tonight and no one was going to stop me from it.

Shantell clutched my hand in her and gave it a firm squeeze. I gave her a smile in return as we entered the frat house. 

Amber was the one to took off first because she needed to meet Chase and his friends. Chase had been calling her non-stop on our way here and at one point Shantell even screamed into the phone telling him to keep it in his pants yet.

Amber had turned bright red and I was just there laughing my a*s off.

I noticed that many people from my class were here and definitely hot college guys. So that was the main reason Shantell wanted to go. I can't really blame her. 

People were having fun after the long tiring day and drinking. Shantell tugged on my hand forcing me to walk with her towards the kitchen i think so. Yup, it was where the alcohol was stored and the way her eye's lit up i knew that we were gonna have a lot of it tonight.

Shantell thrusted a red cup in my hand and took one of her own. It was definitely something strong so I downed it in a go and felt a burning sensation in my neck. Shantell looked at me like a proud mom and refilled my glass again.

I decided to say hi to the people i knew around. Shantell was with me at all times never leaving me alone. I was very much grateful. She would occasionally go around and flirt with someone if she found someone cute but never too long and before i know it she would be by my side.

We danced around for a while singing at the top of our voices  to our favorite songs. I had seen Amber twice dancing with Chase. She seemed content with him so we decided to leave her alone.

As i was talking with a girl from my class, Shantell nudged me. I turned and saw who she was pointing at, it was one of the friends of Chase we had seen earlier. He was definitely Shantell's type. 

" You go ahead and talk to him. I will fine.Don't worry about me" I pushed S in the direction in which the guy went. Shantell winked at me and took off after him.

I continued talking with other people. After a while, Shantell was still gone and I saw Amber sitting on the couch with Chase.

 I felt the need to pee real bad. I decided to go looking for a washroom down the hallway. I found one but there was already a line there. So i thought about looking one upstairs. It won't be that hard to find a washroom, would it?

I managed to get on the first floor.It was crowed but not that much as compared to the living room. There wasn't any empty washroom available here too.

So I decided to look for one on the second floor. Most of the rooms were locked, I think so because of safety. So as I saw that one of the rooms was open, the door slightly ajar. 

As I was about to push it open, it came backwards and  hit me on my face making me fall down. The person on the other side stopped pushing the door and  opened the door. Crouching down beside me. He was a boy of my age.

Any other person would have helped me up but this person just decided to snort at me.

" What are you blind or something ? Couldn't  you see that the door was closing?" the guy said to me making a face at me.

" Have you lost your mind? You are supposed to help me up and not shout at me." I scoffed at him.

He was smirking at me and as if on cue my anger increased.

" So tell me are you always this Dickhead like Prince Hans or is this a special occasion I m witnessing?" i said smirking at him.

His smirk was gone and he was red from anger. I was surprised that he didn't do anything at that moment.

His phone rang distracting him from me. I took that time to get up and straighten my clothes.

" Yeah? I m on the second floor , left wing. " and he cut off the call. He turned around to face me.

" You. Do you even know who I m? " "No?" i said cutting him off making him even more mad.

" Don't cut me off while I m talking. No one cuts Alastair Barton while he is talking."

" Woah. Wait a second, are you actually talking about yourself in  third person?"I replied. This guy was too much of himself.

" Are you deaf or something girl?"

Just as i was about to reply, I heard Shantell calling my name. I turned to my left to see her and the guy from before walking towards me. 

The way they were holding hands meant that everything went good. Extremely good.

"Are you okay? Why is there a bruise forming on your face?" she gently touched my face. I didn't realize that.

" Nothing. I'm fine." I said to her.

I turned to find that the guy with Shantell and Dickhead were friends and talking about something.

I wasn't in the mood to argue with that guy anymore. So without glancing back I took Shantell's hand and asked her to lets go back.

She came with me without any questions asked. I just needed to get out of here before I did something i would regret.
