Isabella

30| The Girl We Killed

**Flashback**

Isabella

Tiffany Stevens had eventually succeed in joining our clique. I was beginning to like her. She was nothing like her fat, ugly cousin Stephanie.

On the faithful day of July 10, 2010, Tiffany Stevens had invited us to her pool house in Victoria island. The pool house was huge and gorgeous. We had money but the Stevens definitely choked on dollar signs.

I wish I'd never gone there that faithful day.

It was one of the biggest mistakes of my life.

It was one of the reasons I'd left Lagos and never wished to return.

I hated myself for ever meeting Tiffany Stevens.

Daniel

Sandra rubbed her hands on my bare chest soothingly. I was wearing nothing but my swim shorts.

She wanted to kiss me but I pulled away from her grip.

"Sandra stop" I said to her although my mind was saying something else. Sandra was beautiful and amazing. She was what every guy dreamt of but I was only sexually attracted to her. The person I really wanted was Bella. Ever since we were kids.

"Why don't you like me, Daniel?" she asked with a sad look.

"It's not that—"

"Of course, it's Bella isn't it?" she cut me off, "It's always about Isabella"

"Let's just go before someone comes in here" we were both inside the pool house while the rest were outside by the poolside. We were supposed to be getting some bottles of wine but Sandra had decided to use the opportunity to seduce me.

I took bottles of wine from the fridge and left leaving Sandra.

I went outside and as I approached the pool, I could see Tayo talking and laughing with Bella while sitting so close to her. I instantly became furious.

I'd told Tayo times without number to stay clear of Isabella knowing he had feelings for her but he never seems to listen.

Tayo

Making Isabella laugh was something I wanted to do everyday. I liked her a lot and I had an undeniable crush on her.

The only person in the way was Daniel. I know he was my best friend and all that but and I also knew he had feelings for Bella as well but asking me to stay away from her was something I was finding it very hard to do.

"I'm back!" Daniel announced holding up two bottles of wine in his hands.

He gave me a warning glare meaning it was time for me to move away from Isabella I did so immediately.

He sat next to Bella and put his hands around her neck.

Bella never seemed to be interested in being a relationship with Daniel despite the fact he kept imposing it on her. She never made it official.

"Finally!" Tiffany exclaimed, "I thought you were going to spend the night in there"

"Let's drink some wine abeg" said Isabella before she opened a bottle of wine and filled her glass.

Sandra soon joined us and we drank till we were drunk.

Sandra

Everybody had gotten drunk and we're just talking arrant nonsense.

We decided to play truth or dare with an empty bottle of wine and the game was so boring because Daniel and Bella kept choosing truth. The only dare Tayo did was kissing Tiffany.
