That Bitch..

title of your story

Camille did not answer as usually..I looked at my reflection in the mirror. I really felt bad for my words which I said to Brianna. The girls in that age are very sensitive - I hope I did not ruined her life.. When I got out of restroom I could see boys talking, but girls were gone..I walked straight to Justin.

"Hey, look I have to go home.." I did not feel like I want to stay longer. He asked me why? and try to convince me to stay longer..I guess he did not know about the restroom incident.

"Thank you very much Justin..I see you later.."

I felt realise when I got out of that building.  I walked slowly towards the bus station, when I heard familiar voice talking behind the bush of lilac.

"..and than he brought her? I hate her..I hate him too.."  She said between sobs. It was Brianna with her friends..

"He is a jerk Bree.." Said Lex coming closer to crying Brianna. "And she looks like a whore..did you see that hideous outfit that she was wearing?"

'..yeah, does she wore that for real?" Kristina hugged Brianna.

"Come on boys comes and goes, but friends are for ever."

They all hugged. Seeing that made my heart melt. I remember those days, those first crushes and first heartbreaks..when we were young and everything seemed so serious..It was before we realized that life is way to much complicated than who will pick us for the prom dance..

Buses number 10 and 12 were coming to the station. 12 was going towards my home and number 10 was going to Peach Line - the street where Vanda was living..

Men comes and goes, but friends are for ever. - Even if they are snotty and needy..Vanda is my friend and she is who she is..I put my pink lipstick back on as I was sitting in the bus number 10 heading to the Peach Line.

Vanda's maid opened the door for me and she was leading me to the living room. I could hear the music and the voices. House smelled like Vanda's perfume.

"Miss Vanda?" Teresa tried to get Vanda's attentinon. She was sitting on the sofa surrounded by women drinking glass of Champagne. She gave me a biggest smile when she saw me standing there..

"Michaela!" She stood up and walked towards me, dressed in her pink dolly dress.  "I'm so happy you made it.."

"..and you are wearing pink!" Her eyes were sparkling..I was sure she's been drinking. "Girls," she turned her face to group of women who were sitting around table. "It is Michaela.."

I did not know many of the girls, but I knew couple of them..One of them was Klara - Daniel's sister  and Gita, who was Vanda's cousin. I sat next to Gita and her glass of red wine. We were hanging out, talking and joking around..It was close to midnight when we decided to hit the town..Vanda's drivers drove us to the 603 club - which I hated.

Loud music, neon lights and smoke from the cigarettes..I felt like I traveled in the time back to my teenage age..We had our booth ready. I did not want to drink that night, but everything changed couple of hours later..

I watched them dance and being silly..actually I liked this Vanda - she was making me laugh. I felt like I need to go use the bathroom. The line was long so I went outside..There was a small casino next to the 603 club and I used their bathroom. When I was coming back to the club I noticed familiar car..I knew that car it was Peter's car..

I stopped and and looked better- yep. The same licence plate..I went back to our booth and I felt nervous, cause  knew that he is somewhere here.

"What's up Michaela?" Vanda sat next to me. "You sucks, where is your drink?"

It this Vanda? She reached for a glass and filled it with vodka and red bull.. "Here."

I took the drink from her hands and took a big sip.

"I just saw Peter's car outside."

"I saw him here.." Vanda said with drunk tone in he voice. "Asshole. Walking around here like he owns it."

I looked around.

"Be happy you got rid off him..he fucked everything what was moving.." That sounded very appropriate from women who is going to marry the biggest whore in the town. But aside from that, I was surprised she said that to me..maybe the alcohol?

"What do you mean?" I took another sip of my vodka red bull..

"Don't act like you don't know..he slept with everybody..you, Carlita, Amina, Melanie..Gita.."

"Gita?" I could not connected with the other names..

"Yep..couple years ago when you were on vacation in Croatia they met at.."

"And you did not tell me?!" I could not believe it - actually I could... Vanda looked busted. I think she did not think this through. Alcohol is a bitch. I could tell she was looking for some right words to tell me, but just air was coming out of her mouth so she looked like a fish. I looked around the booth for my purse and jacket.

"Michaela.. I'm sorry." She said as I was battling the tears in my eyes, trying to cover it with looking for my purse.

She said Sorry, she never really did.. I looked at her eyes.

"I did not know how to tell you.. I was afraid that you will stay with him, pretend that nothing happened and I will be the bad guy."

"Why would you think I would believe him over you? Why would you think that I would stay with him?"

"Cause I would.." She looked down and reached for the pack of cigarettes on the table. This was not about me anymore.. for some reason it was about her again, but this time I cared.

"Vanda, you don't have to do that.." I took one of the cigarettes from the pack too. I think it was Gita's pack anyway.

"Please.. stop Michaela." She lighted up her cigarette and handed me the matchbox.  Gita and the rest of the girls were heading to the table. I took my eyes off Vanda and try hard to not kill Gita with my look. She sat across from me and smiled. I smiled back..

".. Diana was totally twerking."  Klara laughed as she was trying to show Diana dance moves.

"The key is to pretend that you know how to do that."  That was Diana's secret.

"O.k. Lets pretend everybody.  Lets celebrate Vanda's and Daniel's love.." I reached for my drink. ".. to happily ever after."

To my surprise all girls cheered. The only one who got it was Vanda. I could tell by her look.
