THE OLD ME BACK

Chapter 20

"What happened, beshy? Did you break up with him?"

She asked me that as if it's not the hottest issue here in school. Really a small thing, isn't it? The moment she placed the two small food trays on the table, I hurriedly took mine that had the pork steak.

"You know what, I can't understand why you did that when you already endure the pain. I know you still love him. Can't you see his progress? He's changing now. He doesn't already go close to that bitch, even to his fangirls."

I deeply sighed before I drank iced tea in order to relieve myself. Afterwards, I stared at her as if I could not believe those words I just heard coming from her.

What's wrong with her? I thought she's my best friend. To remember everything she said about Hanky before, she's the one who told me that I would break up with him if ever he would hurt me even just once. But look at now,  what a stress.

"Hey, speak up, beshy."

I rolled my eyes right away after staring at her.

"You don't understand me. I better not to speak up," I uttered with a sigh. Leaning on the chair behind me, I roamed my eyes around in the food court, and there I could not escape from their eyes and murmurs.

Yes, I endured the pain but it does not mean I can endure if it's already too much. Gosh, the chances that I gave were just wastes for him. He never valued every chance I gave when I thought of every chance if he deserved it still.

By the way, she's Leana, my best friend. She's in grade 11 like me but she's in other section. We became best friends because my family was so close to hers, that the partner of my dad's business was her dad.

"Can you give him another chance?"

I did not continue eating my food when I chose to escape that question. Walking out, I directly go to my room and waited for the ring of bell. While in the middle of discussion, I was thinking if I could possibly give him the last chance and after that, if ever he cheated again, I would not give him once more.

But no, I could not do it anymore out of my will.

After class dismissal, I went home early. I found out that my parents were not there. They were on travel for their business appointments. Speaking of business, my dad told me before that I have already a job after I graduate, but I had no interest to handle our own business. I wanted to be an interior designer lately, showing my creativity through space.

After entering in my room, I easily throw my bag to my bed. I called Tyler over the phone, and good thing was, they were just done their rehearsal.

"Can you go here, baby?" I asked, and he got stammered. "Please, baby. I want you to be here."

"Sure," he answered, so I hung up the call. The next thing I did was to chat in our group chat that my classmates should go here in my house, even my friends and Leana. They were so shocked that I would be having a pool party, so I instructed them all to bring trunks for boys and two-piece for girls. They never knew that it was my plan to introduce Tyler to them.

Over the telephone, I called our four housemaids to prepare for a dinner beside the pool. I also called the driver to have a set up on the sound system together with the disco ball. Quickly, I changed my clothes from uniform to a cocktail dress, a type of dress that's above the knee. Next was to put a light make up on my face and wore a five-inch heels. I really must be a gorgeous and hot!

The pool party got started. All of my invites were already there. Others were enjoying swimming while the rest were enjoying the music and the food. But I realized I was missing the main player. It's already 8 in the evening when Tyler arrived so I greeted him through a kiss. Some who caught us doing it cheered at us. Whoa! Everything was perfect!

"Hi guys! I want you to know that I have already a new boyfriend and his name is Tyler." After announcing it in a megaphone, I embraced him in his right arm to make it very true. The cheers got louder when Tyler kissed me on my forehead. What a very romantic scene, right?

"Congrats, Alesha!"

"That is better than your ex!"

"You two are perfect match!"

What a consoling words I heard! It was really a perfect first pool party I had ever done. But my mind was a traitor, I didn't know why it suddenly popped up my mind about him who caused me to do this. Argh! My heart was also cooperating that it dictated me I love him still, and what I just had was simply a game.

Gosh, I don't want to mind it more. I would rather enjoy the night with Tyler, the cutest guy in the Boylight group.

"Cheers! Alesha is for Tyler!"

On the next day, I was on the hallway when I saw students standing by the bulletin board. They easily gave way when they knew I was the one who would approach there. By checking the latest update, it was about last night.

ALESHA ANNOUNCED HIS NEW BF IN HER FIRST EVER POOL PARTY. GUESS WHO?

"Are you happy now?"

Very much familiar with the voice spoken behind me, I faced on him courageously. With an appearance of my teeth, I smiled at him.

"Of course what do you expect? Should I be sad? For what reason?"

The students nearby unconsciously formed circle when they spotted us standing in front of each other. Some of them took a picture because I could hear the shutter of cam.

"Do you really feel happy?"

What's wrong with this guy? He's handsome, yeah, even the hot one, but he was so slow to get it. He's now my ex, doesn't he feel happy? He can do now whatever he wants!

"Are you doing this to make a revenge for me? Will you be happy for that when you do it?"

Gosh! What does he think?

I composed myself, grinned, and lifted up my right eyebrow on him. "I'm very much happy for your loss."
