Fatal Lies [#wattys2018]

Ch.15||Beach Bash

Someone not in their right mind is playing a horrible joke on me.
The words on the text book played around with each other. I couldn't concentrate cause every time I tried to,I kept seeing the words from the note clear as day.

Absent mindedly, I made my way to the girls bathroom to get some things off my mind.
I walked into one of the empty cubicles and put the seat to enclose the toilet pot and sat on it trying to clear my mind. At that moment I heard the door open and the familiar voice of Jenelle and Kelly floated through the room.
"Daddy said the situation just got bigger", she said sounding annoyed.
I tiptoed to the crack on the door and watched as she reapplied her lip gloss and foundation, Kelly doing the same.
" Did he say what situation ? ", Kelly asked raising an eyebrow.
" No, he did not, but he's been so stressed lately and he's been going out of town more often than he did before ".
" Give him time, he'll come around "
"Maybe", Jenelle sight, putting her makeup bag into her handbag.
"Come on let's go, I have got to catch up with Josh".
They left a minute after that and I got out, washed my face and tried not to think about what I just heard as I made my way into the cafeteria and  got my food.
I scanned the room and saw Alexys waving, so I walked over and sat down between her and Charlotte.
"Where's Zion", I asked, looking at the empty seat between Austin and Brandon. " He said something about having to ditch school ", Ed said hiding a smile.
" Again ", I mutter under my breath.
" Don't worry, he's like that, he'll come around ", Brandon said stretching out his hands.
" I guess so", I shrugged and returned to my lunch, my mind wondering to the note again. 
"Hey,you'll be at the beach bash tomorrow right? ", Tiffany asked.
I nodded my head.
" Great! look for us when you get there ", she winked.
" Of course ", I smiled back at her.

He was late. It's was 8:45pm now and Zion had still got to show up,no texts,no calls,who does that (major eye roll). I gave him 10 more minutes, if he wasn't here by 8: 55pm I'm gonna have to make my own way to the beach bash.
I got up from the bed and walked over to the floor length mirror beside  the closet.
I'm the kinda person who doesn't really like to dress up so I wore a knee length, off the shoulders,  lacey midnight blue dress that had daisies embodied on its edge. I sprayed my curls to keep them intact, my makeup was the natural look, (I really don't care how I look,ha ha) and finally some clean sneakers.

I grabbed my jacket,  my purse and my phone and ran down the stairs two at a time. "Hey mum, is Zion here yet? ", I called out, taking a peek in the fridge.
" No he is not ", she said from the living room.
" He's gonna get a mouth full from me, being that he was the one who asked me to go with him", I fumed.

After giving it another hour, I'd had enough of waiting so I called up Freya, "hey where are you, I've been looking everywhere for you? ", she half yelled , half shouted down the  phone,I could hear the loud music in the background."That's the problem, I'm still at home, could you pick me up? "
"Sure Richie and I will be there soon, but you better have a good explanation where Zion is".
" Whatever, just please hurry ".

Freya arrived not long after.
" Honey Freya is here ", mum said coming into the living room. " I know your disappointed Zion didn't come but please try to have a good time ".
" I'll try mum, I love you ", I replied kissing her cheeks as I put on my jacket and close the door behind me.

" Hey, thanks for picking me up", I said as I make myself comfortable in the back seat.
"No problem", Freya said, turning around to face me. I could see she wasn't the one driving.
" Angie, this is Richie ", she said gesturing to the boy who sat in the driver seat. He turned and gave me a smile, he had dark brown hair, judging from the little light in the car, that fell effortlessly to one side of his face and sharp jawlines.
" Hey, nice to meet you ", he said, smiling and I smiled back.
" You too "

The beach was a ocean of colours, lanterns and fairy lights were almost everywhere,the music was so loud you could hear it from the carpark.
I Followed behind Freya and Richie as they weaved their way into the crowd of teenagers, only stopping to talk to someone we knew then moving on. Finally we made it to the makeshift bar that was a stall. A tall boy I recognized from Geo class stood inside the booth mixing drinks.
"What can I get you ladies", he smiles giving a fake bow and then to Richie. " And gent ".
" What do you have ", Freya asked.
" Vodka and orange, margarita, tequila, sweet wine", he seemed like he could go in but Freya stopped him with a flick of her finger.
"Tequila will do".
" How bout you? ", he said wrinkling an eyebrow.
" No thanks, you got juice or water? "I asked, my eyea scanning the beach for Zion.
" Here you go ", the boy said giving me water bottle.
" Angie, we'll catch you later? ", Freya asked, linking her arm with Richie's.
" Sure", I said.
A slow song played and they walked to the dance floor, Freya resting her head on his shoulder, they look so cute I got jealous for a minute, I smiled too myself and turned around catching Tiffany's eyes across the dance floor,I could see the rest of the group but no sign of Zion.
She waved and gestured for me to join them, I was starting my way towards them when my eyes caught Zion at the entrance.
He wore his usual signature black fits and beside him to my utmost surprise was Jenelle.
