Beauty and The Beast

Chapter 6

I walked into the cafeteria, receiving Hi's and Hello's everywhere which I responded to.

Advantages of being popular.

I walked over to my table which is the elites table. We have our own corner.

NO TRESPASSES.

Unfortunately, it was opposite Leslie's table who is currently making out with Eric.

The sight of them made my blood boil. I diverted my eyes and sat down.

On this table were; Amber, Tiffany, Stephanie, and I plus a few cool jocks and cheer leaders.

Amber, Tiffany, Stephanie and I shifted father away from them to have a little privacy to ourselves.

''Here's your lunch'' Amber said pushing a tray of food in front of me.

''Am I supposed to say thank you?''

''Take it as a peace offering. You know, for scaring you''

I smiled sweetly at her ''Good girl''

I couldn't help but look at a table in front of us. Drew was picking at his food alone. No one dared to sit near him.

Suddenly, his eyes met mine. I couldn't look away. We maintained eye contact for a few seconds.

''Tinker bell, did you hear what I said?'' Tiffany asked. 

I turned my attention back to them. I was so caught up in Drew that I zoned out on what they were talking about.

''What?''

"Oh no" Tiffany said " I see you've been looking at freak show for a while now''

"No, I was just.."

"You need to hear the way she basically defended him on the phone yesterday" Amber cut in "She was saying things like "He told me things about myself. Things that I couldn't even admit"

''I don't blame her. He's hot'' Stephanie replied.

Amber's phone rang. She opened it and checked her messages. She was sitting beside me so it was easy to see what she was doing.

I noticed a name pop out on her WhatsApp messages; Ann💖

I suspected it was our coach but it couldn't be. I confirmed my suspicions when I saw her profile picture.

Yes, it's her.

Why did she have a heart next to her name?

Why are they even texting each other in the first place?

It's none of my business anyway.

I shook my head.

"I don't like him" I answered.

"Good" Tiffany answered "You don't have a shot with him anyways?"

My ego was hurt. I have a shot with any and every single guy on earth.

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is; it doesn't matter if you like him or not. He won't bother with you. He doesn't like girls"

"He will definitely like me if I try" I spoke with confidence.

Tiffany laughed.

"No honey. He won't" she said.

I'm Bella fucking Martins. I can get any guy I want - inside or outside this school.

"Wanna bet?" I asked.

Tiffany raised her eyebrows "Do you really want to go there?"

"Why don't we make this interesting then, shall we?" Stephanie said.
