Beauty inside

Chapter two

It's been two weeks now since I left the group and I feel relieved and now Susan is their new leader and besides I don't hang out with them anymore and now that's I didn't some people wanted to befriend me but I pushed them away which made me friendless. Yes I had no friends now but I do have a lot of haters... A lot. People didn't like me. I was sitting on my desk with my airpod on when I talk stature stood before me and when I looked up it was Bryan, the most popular guy in school. He was gave me an invitation to a party he was going to be throwing for his birthday. " I'm hosting a party this Saturday, be there" he said with a smile but before I could reply he walked away.

School was over so I got into my car ready to go home. I was still thinking about the invitation. When I got home I was greeted by Romeo who gave me a warm smile and I did the same too. " welcome miss " he said. "good afternoon Romeo" I replied. I went to my room quickly, took my bath and finished up my homework then I went downstairs to the kitchen to help Romeo out with cooking because I loved cooking. "Romeo can I help you out" I asked with a wide grin. " don't bother miss Kayla, I'll handle it myself" he said. But I begged an begged until he agreed but he did reluctantly.

Romeo was like a father and friend to me and he understood me and he was the only one who knew who I really was. While helping him cook I told him about the party and if I should go an and he said" you should go as long as its a decent party and he's parents are in support of the the party and besides you do a lot of school work and you need a break". "Thank you Romeo" I said. "Anytime dear". The party is tomorrow and I have to pick what to wear so I went online and ordered a jean gown.

I was woken by the singing birds the next morning. I lived Saturdays, it was a time to reflect and do my yoga. My Satanng was interrupted by a beep on my phone. I checked who the text was from and it was no other than Bryan telling me to remember the party. I rolled my eyes on reading it then it stood up stretched a little and went to the bathroom to freshen up. When I was done I came downstairs and my nose was greeted by the sweet smell of bacon and eggs with bread. I headed towards the kitchen and greeted Romeo then he quickly served my breakfast. While I was enjoying the sumptuous meal I lost my appetite when I saw my dad coming downstairs with his black suit and grumpy face. He never smiled. I greeted him and replied without looking at me so I took my breakfast to the kitchen while Romeo served him, I was feeling bad for Romeo because whenever my dad got mad he vented it out on him too, I wasn't the only victim.

After breakfast he left for work and all of a sudden I could breathe in fresh air again, not only his presence and bad mood suffocated me, he's strong cologne too. After I was done with breakfast I packed my things ready to go for my ballet practice and yoga which held every Saturday. I loved ballet and it helped me get over my stress and the arguments I always had with my dad.

I came back just in time for the party and I freshened up and brought out the clothes I ordered. After having my shower I wore my jean gown which was quite short so I wore a black pop socks under with my boots and I let my hair down. I went downstairs and told Romeo that I'm leaving and he gave me fartherly words when he said, " Remember miss Kayla, if things get out of control make sure you come back home". "OK Romeo and thank you". While I left the house I felt like I was forgetting something but I couldn't figure out what it was.

When I got to Bryan's house I could hear the music already and I saw few people from our school and most guests were not in our school. So I entered the building and started searching f Bryan so I could wish him a happy birthday when I heard someone behind me say " Look who's here...Kayla", I took a deep breath and turned around to meet Susan and my former group." Hey" I replied with a fake smile but gosh I was bad at it and it eventually turned to a frown then a smirk and that felt more like it. I left them to search for Bryan. "Bryan" I called out when I finally met him. He was with his friends in a well furnished lounge it was beautiful but my face fell when I saw Alex with him. Ever since that incident I always felt guilty when I saw him and this made uncomfortable because I never cared about what anyone thought of me. " Hey Kayla you made it" he said with a grin. "Yeah, happy birthday" I said forcing a smile. "Have a seat" he said pointing to a chair. " No I was about going downstairs", I said and turned to leave. While on my way downstairs I felt like he intentionally invited me to this party so I could see Alex and feel guilty but that's ridiculous because he doesn't know what's going on in my head. I went to a spot to get drinks." Apple juice please" I told the waiter." Did you just say please?", I heard a deep voice behind me say that then I turned around to meet Alex." And so?" I replied with an irritated tone." it's so not you", I rolled my eyes and walked away. I went to the balcony far from Alex and I sat down sipping my apple juice and then I heard a voice say "Apple juice? You're bigger than that, why don't you try something else", I turned around and snapped at the person thinking it was Alex."oh I thought you were somebody else" when I looked up to see a guy I've never met before. He took a seat beside me and introduced himself " Hey I'm Nelson", "Kayla", I replied nonchalantly. Would you like a drink he said offering me alcohol. "I don't drink" I said already getting irritated. I hated making friends and that's why I didn't have any. I was starting to feel dizzy and I was choking. "Are you ok?" he asked. Before he could say another thing I was already struggling for air and then I saw his hand which held a cigarette. Oh gosh....
