After talking with Lily for hours, I've decided to go back to my dorm since it's night. When I reached the front of my dorm, I turned the lock and pushed the door lightly. I immediately see Rachelle sitting on her bed, her eyebrows furrowed, looking at the floor. With the outfit she's wearing, it seems like she's going to a party. I closed the door and walked in her direction.

"Hello," I said lowly. When she heard me, she looked at me. She sighs.

"Do you have a bad history with Lucas?" she questioned.

"Uhh..." is all I could say. Is it even my place to tell? He's supposed to tell her, not me.

"I just don't want to make you feel uncomfortable, that's all," she said, softly. No wonder he likes her a lot, well, maybe even love.

"Oh, he doesn't," I assured her.

"Are you sure?" she asked.

"Ye—" I was cut off by a familiar voice.  

"Your darling of a boyfriend asked me to get you." Rachelle rolled her eyes then stood up.

"Theo?" My eyes widened by surprise.

"Bella! I didn't know you went here!" He rushed at me and wrapped his arms around me. He broke the hug and I punched him playfully.

"How is uhm...Mitch?" He asked shyly. I smiled at his question. He had been crushing over Lily since 3 years ago. He still hasn't had the guts to tell her how he felt. I mean I don't blame him. No one knows who Lily likes since she's so sweet. No one knows if she's just being her usual self or she actually likes the person.

"She's alright. She probably feels lonely right now. Some guy could entertain her...if there's any available." I teased him. It's his turn to punch me playfully.

"Uh, Lily, you should come with us. You could also invite your friend whom Oliver likes," Rachelle said cheekily. Theo blushes.

"A party sounds great. Just give me like 30 minutes. Is that okay?" I asked. She nodded. "As of Lily, she doesn't really like parties." I saw Theo frown. "But I can try to convince her." Theo smiled as if he went to the happiest place on earth.

After calling and trying to convince Lily to come, she finally gave in.

After more than 30 minutes, I was done prepping for the party. I chose a matching black sleeveless top and trousers with flower prints on them. I don't really like wearing too showy clothes but not as much as Lily who doesn't like wearing sleeveless and above fingertips clothing. I also brought something to put above since it's a bit cold. I doubt I need it inside though since it's crowded.

When I went out of the bathroom, I saw Lily and Theo talking with big smiles on their faces

When I went out of the bathroom, I saw Lily and Theo talking with big smiles on their faces. I would do anything to make them a couple. I looked at Rachelle and she's looking aTheo, smirking. She behind Lily so she mouths words at him to coach him. They stopped talking when they hear someone enter.
