It's You

I take a sip of my cola float and eat my fish fillet.

"Where's Pat?" Ash asks while munching her chicken nuggets.

"On her way," I answer simply. About five mimutes later, Pat comes and sits next to Ash with a tray full of foods.

"Sorry guys, the traffic was sucks," Pat says. She spoons her chocolate sundae and shoves it into her little mouth.

"It's okay," Ash says.

"Oh, I almost forget," I say. I put my fish fillet on my tray and open up my bag. I take out two black envelopes from Hunter and hand it to Pat.

"Hunter's birthday invitations for you and Pete," I say. Pat takes it and opens it.

"We're going to celebrate his birthday party in Ladera Resort, St. Lucia. You'll pick up by the chauffeur to the airport and we'll go there with Hunter's private jet. Just bring your passport and clothes and dress and bikini. We'll be there in three days and two nights," Ash explains.

"Whoa... And he invites my brother too?" Pat asks.

"Yes idiot," Ash squeals.

"Okay, I'll give it to him later. By the way Val, I wanna tell you something," Pat says.

"What?" I ask.

"Yesterday I met Mac," she says. I stop munching my fries and send her an icy glare.

"So?" I ask.

"He said he missed you,"

"Ha-ha. Seriously?" I say playfully.

"That's bullshit. Don't believe in him anymore Val, for God's sake or you'll get hurt again," Ash warns.

"I won't," I say simply.

"Lemme tell you the whole story," Pat says.

FLASHBACK
PAT'S POV

"Okay, so what's next?" I ask my partner in group, Naomi who's sitting right in front of me.

"Hmm... I dunno," she answers while eating her choco-cheese fried banana. I lean my back on the chair and start thinking. When I look at the glass door behind her, I see the last person I wanna see in my entire life. Mac Walters, a guy who hurted my bestie, Valerie Olsen. He looks at me and smiles as always.

"Shit," I curse under my breath. Naomi widen her eyes and looks at me confusedly.

"Are you okay Pat?" She asks. Mac enters the coffee shop and sits right beside me.

"Hi Pat. Long time no see. How are you?" He asks.

"G-good," I say. Why is he approaching me? Why is he asking me 'how are you?'

"Um... Mac, this is my friend, Naomi. Naomi, this is my high school friend, Mac," I introduce them properly.

"Nice to see you Mac," Naomi says.

"Nice to see you too Naomi," Mac says.

"What are you doing here?" Mac asks me.

"Just doing a group project. What are you doing here?" I ask.

"I'll have a lunch with Jake,"

"Oh... Jake," What should I say now? This is really awkward. Naomi doesn't talk neither.

"How is Dave? He's still your boyfriend right?" He asks. Fuck you Mac. Of course he's still my boyfriend.

"He's fine. He said that London is a nice city," I answer.
