Four Years

Chapter 4

"Seriously? He is an ass." Hailey mutters as they walk into a cute pub close to campus, most people from school hang out here, but mostly just seniors and juniors since they actually ID at the door, which is why some of the upperclassmen prefer this place, everyone was either their age or a few years older, so the drama wasn't too bad. The smell of beer, and cigarettes quickly filled their noses, with some pop song playing in the background. The pub was dark inside, most of the furniture being dark wood and maroon for the booths. The actual bar was long, stretching over most of the right side of the pub, the levers of the variety of draft beers the offered glinting against the lights, while the left was littered with booths or normal tables to sit at, closer to the bar was high bar tables with their matching stools, and a small dancefloor occupied the front of the pub, while pool tables took over the back. Most of the booths were already filled with students from the university, causing laughter to ring loudly through the pub. "He seemed quite friendly, too friendly actually. Like he was about to start shitting unicorns or something." Sofia mutters as they follow Jason to an open table. Hailey's soft laughter made Sofia grin as they sat down, quickly being approached by a waitress, who sent Jason heart eyes as she took their orders. "She's cute." Sofia murmurs and Hailey agrees, the girls sending Jason identical grins which caused him to roll his eyes at them, but he didn't comment anything, because he couldn't disagree with them. "Those are the girls." Sofia states, gesturing to a table of girls who were laughing loudly at something being said at their table, and Hailey rolls her eyes as Jason's go wide. "Rebecca and them?" Hailey asks and Sofia shrugs. "I think that's what Tristan said, but I didn't really pay attention." "Queen B, is Rebecca, thinks the sun rises and sets in her ass, then red is Annabelle, quite nice, but has a nasty temper on her, she explodes like it's nothing. Blondie is Stacy, shame, poor girl is nice as hell, but god she isn't she sharpest tool in the shed, she kind of reminds me of that ditz in Mean girls." Hailey muses making Sofia laugh softly as Jason shakes his head at them. "They are also buddies with the football team." He states, as Tristan, Owen and a few other guys file into their booth. "Who is who?" Sofia asks tilting her head to the side as she stares at the girls who plastered sweet smiles on their faces. "Okay, you know Tristan, Brody and Owen, the tall drink of Caramel is Leeroy, and the big one is Rory, then we have Dean and Isaack, the twins with the pretty black curls." Hailey states and Sofia nods as she stares at the guys. "Wait, tall drink of caramel?" Jason asks and Hailey sends him a bright smile, which caused Sofia to laugh softly, but her eyes zeroed in on Rory who was grinning from ear to ear at something Stacy said, she had to force her face to stay neutral when his face registered in her mind. "He is insanely attractive." Hailey shrugs and Sofia nods her head in agreement. They all were attractive in their own ways, each one different from the next, but asshole wasn't Sofia's type.

"Fancy meeting you here." Sofia, looks up from the pool table, seeing Tristan who was grinning at her like he won the lottery. "Sure, it is." Sofia mutters under her breath, but Tristan just beams in turn. "How about a game?" He asks when he sees her attention went back to the game Jason and Hailey were busy with. "No thanks, you have friends, go play with them." Sofia waves him off, taking a sip of the beer in her hands, not bothering to look at him. "But I want to play with you." He whines like a two-year-old and Sofia raises her eyebrows at him, leaning a bit to the side to see his entire table was staring at her, the guys with wide eyes, except Brody, he shared the glare with the three girls. "No thanks, tell your friends to stop staring at me when you get back to them." "One game Miss Grumpy." "You don't catch a hint, do you?" Sofia asks, looking up at him and he just grins down at her in return. "No, now go away, before I yell and have the bouncers remove you." She states waving him off, which caused him to burst out laughing. Jason and Hailey raised eyebrows in her direction, but she just rolled her eyes. "I really like you." Tristan muses and Sofia nods her head, not bothering to hide her irritation. "Glad I could entertain you, go on now." She shoos him away, and he laughs softly, sending her a wink before walking off, admitting defeat, but not quite bothered by it, while Sofia returns her attention to the twins. "What?" "Nothing." They answer at the same time at her snappy tone, causing her to roll her eyes as she gestures to the bar. "Want anything?" "Still good." Hailey answers, and Jason just lifts his Coke, his attention already back on the game he was losing by far, so Sofia nods, turning on her heel before walking to the bar, finding a gap and sitting down, knowing it might take a while. "Look Stacy, it's the deaf bitch." Sofia rolls her eyes, looking up at the ceiling, trying to gather enough patience as she turns in her seat, looking at the three girls from earlier. "Uh, Stacy, Isabelle and Rachel, right?" She asks, but judging by the appalled looks on their faces, she got that way wrong. "Annabelle and Rebecca." Annabelle with the pretty red hair sneers and Sofia nods her head. "Right, what can I do for you?" She asks, not bothering to hide the tiredness in her voice. "You can stop whoring yourself out to Tristan." Stacy sneers and Sofia raises an eyebrow, vaguely aware of the guy next to her whistling under his breath. "Wouldn't want to put you out of a job sweetheart, and he came up to me, if you have a problem, take it up with him. If you can get him to leave me alone, you'd actually be doing me a favour." Sofia states, and at once three jaws drop. Sofia tried, but she couldn't quite make out whose jaw dropped lowest, but Rebecca snapped out of it first. "You bit-" "Bitch, yeah, so you've said. Listen I don't know you, you don't know me, get your friends to leave me and mine alone, and we can go back to not knowing each other, okay?" Sofia asks with a tired smile, once again the three girls just stare at her like she was completely insane, clearly, like Brody, not used to someone being snarky with them. "I think you broke them." A voice next to Sofia murmurs and she nods her head, but this seemed to snap the girls out of their shock. "Just leave him alone you whore!" Annabelle yells before they storm off, their mile-high heels clicking on the laminate wood floor behind them. "Fucking crazy people." Sofia mutters, turning back in her chair, turning when the voice from earlier laughs softly next to her. He was attractive, in a kind of lawyer way, with his white button up shirt, dark jeans, and slicked back dark brown hair, his green eyes were bright with amusement as he allowed his own eyes to scan Sofia's frame. "Hi, my name is Austin." "Sofia." She nods before turning her attention back to the bar. "Friends of yours?" He asks, gesturing his head back to where the girls stormed off to. "Didn't even know they existed until this morning." "Seem like nice girls." He muses making Sofia grin. "Totally." She gushes in a high-pitched voice making Austin laugh softly as he stared at her. It was hard not to. His eyes, and most guys' eyes drifted towards her when she walked in with her pretty blonde friend, but they stayed on her. She has to be one of the most beautiful girls he has ever seen, and when you add the fact that she doesn't stand back to a pack of bitches, she just became ten times more attractive. "What are you drinking?" Austin asks with an easy smile, causing Sofia to raise her eyebrows at him. His pink lips, revealed a full smile with white teeth, his nose was a little bit crocked, but it added to his attractiveness, while his strong jaw was shaven clean, revealing a small scar he had running from his bottom lip to his chin. "Beer, thanks." She smiles and he nods, quickly capturing the barmaid's attention, which caused Sofia to roll her eyes as the girl batted her eyelashes at him.
