The Queen Bee

48. Lola

A/N: Sorry for not updating for so long 🥺 I've been so busy with a lot of things lately and I honestly don't know how to continue writing this book. I actually needed to read a few chapters back just to get on track and I cringe so hard because I've written it so bad. 😭 Anyway, here's the next chapter but it's only a filler chapter. The real chapter will be next though and I'll upload it too right away. Thankies!

There are things in life that no matter how you want not to happen still happens. And most of the time it happened so fast that you can't do anything about it anymore.

Like when I did my last flip during the routine.

I got the most embarrassing wardrobe malfunction during the routine and it was so crazy I wanted to bury the memory of it at the deepest part of my consciousness.

I even wished fairy Godmothers to be real and ask them to erase all the memories of it from all of the audience out there.

"The malfunction didn't even looked accidental, it's kinda cute actually. So stop overthinking about it." Ezra giggled beside me.

I glared at her. My bottoms just fell off during my final flip, while found it on Seb's hands, how does it didn't looked accidental?

"I hate you, stop reminding me." I pushed her out of my bed and she laughed even more.

"Look Lo, it made us the crowd's and judges' favorite."She grinned.

"Yeah, right." I answered in a bored tone before covering my face with my pillow.

"Seb really did have a good time when your skirt magically appeared on his hands. He didn't even tried to shrug it off. At least until you snatched it from him after the whole routine." She continued.

"Will you stop?"I threw the pillow at her which she nudged with a perfect reflex.

She started laughing again.

"Lo, honestly. It looked so cute. I mean, you started your cartwheel then suddenly your mini skirt fly out of nowhere and landed straight away to Seb's hand after he touched your butt. His reaction was so hilarious though. And BTW, I'm so going to borrow that black spandex sports underwear of yours."She didn't know how to stop so I'll just make her. I was about to kick her but she runaway laughing.

"You're so gross. Leave me alone!"I shouted at her retreating back, her laughter echoing the silent hallway.

Damn. I really need some distractions right now but I can't make myself go out, afraid I'll see someone from the team, or worst other people who witnessed what happened at the routine and make fun of me.

Okay. I'm getting so insecure about it and it's not a Lola thing at all. Sure, I smiled wide after the malfunction, the crowd even erupted with cheers when it happened and I faced everyone like being striped off your skirt wasn't a bad thing at all, but man, I was so humiliated especially after I saw Seb's red face, holding my mini skirt. On his head.

Plus it makes our standing as winner at risk. The crowd gone wild seeing a cheerleader on her spandex shorts that almost as skimpy as an underwear but I'm not sure about the judges. We'll see about it next week during the awarding, I guess. But right now, I need to just suck it.

People see me as "The Lola Andrews". Perfect. And not able to do something embarrassing or wrong.

My phone rang making me a little startled. I was alone in the room, everybody was still out watching games or whatever.

Bryce.

I sighed before answering the device. I hate to talk to anyone but Bryce is one of those people who can simply change my mind everytime, it's frustrating and funny sometimes.

"Hey." I heard him the moment I pressed the answer button.

"If you mention about my underwear during the routine or anything related to it, I'll kill you the moment I saw you." I told him which made him laugh. I rolled my eyes though I know he won't see.

"I'm actually not thinking about that Lo. Would you like to have some coffee with me?" He asked after laughing.

"I don't know. After what happened.."

"No, I'm not going to ask then. Let's get some coffee. Like right now."He cut me off and before I can even answer him, he cut the call. Bastard.

Since I'm so exhausted and stressed, I decided not to wear something fancy. Just a tight leggings and Seb's hoodie which I purposely brought with me because I like it. I just hope I won't see him anywhere later.

After a few more minutes, Bryce came barging at the door and we're ready to get some caffeine to brighten my lousy mood.

"Let's get that coffee!" He said while grinning widely. Damn, why did he have to look so hot just about now?
