CHAPTER FIFTEEN ,
GABBY !

❝ i'm fine. ❞

      IT WAS now the last week of June and it had been about three days since Cora had left to go back home. Currently, Isabella was at the country club with Dior.

"So, do you have everything?" Dior asked the younger girl who nodded, "Pretty much. Heather wants to go look for some accessories but other than that..."

"...You just need an escort." Dior finished off.

Isabella let out a sigh, "Yup." Dior noticed the look on her face, "Don't worry, I'm sure you'll find one soon."

"I hope so."

"Hey, why don't you ask Walker?" Dior asked. "Walker?" She asked, confused. Dior nodded, "Yeah, I bet he knows the dances too, from when Leena was an escort. I bet he would do it for you!"

Isabella thought for a moment, remembering the near kiss they had shared a few days ago. The memory made her heart race, and she felt a mix of excitement and apprehension. "I'll... I'll think about it."

Dior nodded and sent her a small smile, "Do you need a ride home?" she asked as they reached the entrance.

"No, Walker's picking me up. Thank you though." Dior nodded and gave the girl a wave before walking off.

Isa started walking towards the side of the country club where Walker usually picked her up. She pulled out her phone to text him but then she saw him.

Her heart skipped a beat when she spotted him sitting at the table, talking to a girl. It was the same girl he had been talking to at the bonfire.

Isabella felt a pang of jealousy looking at them.

But why?

Walker had almost kissed her, and she had pushed him away.

She was quickly snapped out of her thoughts when she heard his voice.  "Isabella! Hey!" Walker greeted warmly, standing up from his seat. "This is Gabby, from the bonfire."

Gabby turned to Isabella with a friendly smile. "Hi, it's nice to see you again, Walker's told me a lot about you."

Isabella forced a smile, trying to hide her disappointment. "Hi, Gabby. Nice to see you too."

Walker seemed oblivious to Isabella's inner turmoil. "Are you ready to go home?" Waker asked the brunette who nodded.

"Alright, well i'll see you around, gabby." He said, sending her a smiled which she returned.

"I'll see you guys around she said." Walker nodded and began to walk to his car, Isabella following behind him.

The drive home was pretty much silent.

As they drove, Isabella couldn't shake the feeling of jealousy seeing Walker and Gabby together.

"Hey, are you okay?" Walker asked, glancing over at her.

Isabella shrugged, crossing her arms. "Yeah, just tired, I guess."

Walker raised an eyebrow. "You sure? You're a lot quieter than usual."

"I'm fine,"

Walker frowned. "Okay." He said, sounding like he didn't belive her. "So, you and Gabby seemed pretty close.." She said, trying to sound nonchalant.

"Yeah, she's a good friend." He said, noticing her attitude. "We were just talking, bee."

"Right, just talking," Isabella replied, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "It looked like you were having a great time."

"Isabella, come on. You know it's not like that," he said, clearly confused.

She turned to stare out the window, feeling the tension between them grow. "Whatever."

The silence in the car was thick as they drove, each lost in their own thoughts.
