The others are already sitting at our table and eating whatever they choose.
"Hi guys. Hallo Ethan." Are Bella's first words when we reach them.
"Hi Bella, haven't we seen each other already?"
"Um yes, I wanted to say hello anyway." Wow that was very uncomfortable to listen to.
To get out of this cringy situation, I make my way to sit on my usual spot and start eating the sandwich.
"Bella, are you interested to be my accompany to my mother's party?"
The food gets stuck in my throat. I look up and stare at him like he has changed his skin color to green.
Apparently, his invitation was just for not showing up alone and not because he wanted to do something with me. Bella on the other hand is just as shocked as I'm but for other reasons.
"I would love to do this. Here I give you my number then we can write later about the details." She replies with a wink and starts writing down her phone number on my napkin.
Why did I even assume someone is interested in me after seeing Bella. She has well-groomed long blond hair, beautiful blue eyes and pore-free skin. She has a top model figure and a wonderful smile. Her aura screams positive vibes and everyone around her is immediately engulfed by her sweet personality.
It would have been nice to be wanted just for once.
My eyes wander to Bella and I see how incredibly happy she is. I give her my most honest smile and turn my attention back to the food, which tastes now even worse than before.
"Harry, how are you feeling?"
At first, I don't register the voice at all, because it has never spoken to me without insulting me. Timidly I rise my head up and look to the direction of its owner.
Fynn I don't know his middle name Hensley asked me how I'm feeling! I pinch my arm quickly to make sure that this day isn't just a dream.
My body jerks a bit because I squeezed my skin harder than necessary.
"Well, my period is always pretty bad on the first days, but the pain is endurable."
He watches me with a confused look and puts his half-eaten sandwich to the side.
"I meant how do you feel after the thing yesterday. I don't want to have any clarification about your menstruation."
Oh fuck. That's what he meant. I had forgotten the whole thing because surprisingly none of the guy said anything about it today.
Everyone glances at me weirdly and I try to overplay the embarrassing situation with a small laugh.
"But of course, I was just kidding. It's all good." I say while making a dismissing move with my hand.
"What is Fynn talking about?" Bella question worried.
Fynn would normally never ask such things, so she knows something extraordinary happened.
"I'll call you when I get home and tell you all about it." I whisper into her ear and she nods.
"Harriet be sure if I would have been there, I would have knocked everyone out." Assures me Dylan.
"Thanks, my savior." I return with a smile.
"What are they talking about?" Now it's Ethan's turn to ask.
