Pamela's POV

His arm was over my shoulder as we sauntered into the place. It looked so..Valentine. Red,white, pink and black ballooons were everywhere, including the floor. There were red and white solo cups neatly arranged with wines surrounding it.

People were mostly in groups chatting, drinking laughing and havving fun. My heart was filled with so much excitement.

"Let me introduce you to my our friedns." He said leading me to a particular lounge where most of the people there were known to me. Some where in chairs and some were in the sofas. there was Ferb, Angelo, Mackenna, Angela, Arjun and of course Belinda along with Nathaniel.

I grinned at Mackenna and Angela then I glanced at Nathaniel whi was looking elsewhere. I rolled my eyes at Belinda who was playing with his hair.

I mean, he didnt ask for it!

"Guys meet my date for tonight. Pamela." He introduced and and I smiled poilitely.

"Babe, I hope you know these people already?" He asked and I nodded.

Belinda eyed me, Angelo smirked and I followed his gaze which led me to nathaniel. He was looking so interested in the solo cup in his hand. It was almost like he was trying to avoid me.

"Shoot. There's only a seat left." Aldrick muttered under his breath. "Oh its fine, you can sit on my lap." he added and my eyes widened.

"I don't think someone would like that." Angelo cleared his throat. "Right Nathaniel?" He asked and Nathaniel raised a brow at him.

"Just kidding though." Aldrick quickly added and the guys apart from Nathaniel laughed.

Angelo whispered something into Mackenna's ear and they both got up and offered their seats to us. After thanking them, we plopped down directly opposite to Belinda and Nathaniel.

"Ugh who brought this party proper?!" Belinda eyes me. Somehow, she reminded me of Praxina from lolirock.

"He just mentioned her as his date." Ferb rolled his eyes.

"Bitch please, behave," Arijun sighed. "can you please pretend you have manners? Just for tonight?" He begged.

"Fuck off." Belinda barked.

"I'll get the drinks." Arjun whispered into my ears and I nodded. I almost started panicking when he left

"So..Pam. how long have you and Aldrick been dating?" Ferb asked.

"Oh...we're not dating.." I stammered blushing red. "He just asked me to be his date."

"Why did you agree to his? I thought other guys too asked you?" Angela winked an do felt my heart drop. Luckiky, Aldrick came back with the drinks and assured me it was not spiked. I took a sip and immediately loved it. When I moved the cup from my face, I saw Nathaniel gazing at me before his gaze flickered to my lips.

"Pamela you haven't answered." Angela reminded and I inwardly groaned.

"Oh um No..no one else did.." I lied and bit my lip. Nathaniel got up, threw the solo cup onto the floor and glared at me.

"Nathaniel-" Belinda started.

"Fuck off." He growled at her making her flinch. He walked away and I went back to sipping my cup as some guilt washed over me.

"You!"Belinda growled at me

"Me?" I muttered.

"You think I'm the only person facing embarrassment tonight?" She seethed.

"Um-"

"Shut it!" She squealed and Aldrick held my hand.

"Don't you ever wonder how come a whole queen bee like me doesn't really have actual friends?" Sbe asked.

Because you're unfriendly?

"Because those bitches mostly disappear when you need them. Take that Mackenna for instance." She said I was so confused as to why she was taking her annoyance out on me.

"And some tend to stab you in your back they said they had." She added glancing at Angela. Angela looked absent minded as she drank her drink.

"Anything you would like to say...backstabber?" Bekinda asked.

"What are you talking about?"Angela raised a brow.

"Oh wait...or you're too ashamed of what you did?" Bekinda smirked.

What did she do? And why was she calling Angela a backstabber?

"I would never be ashamed of what I do." She seethed.

"Then tell your dear friend how you...you know triggered a couple of bad things that happened to her." She dared.

My heart started racing and I braced my self for what was coming.

"Was it my fault or hers? You're a just a clingy ass bitch who can't stand up for herself but rather continue depending on her friends and then you go an extra mile to try to rip away what you know they want, I know you know I like Nolan. But you're intentionality telling him all your problems so that he will be so focused on you and I'd just be somewhere, wishing that he would notice me." She said shakily.

"You're a bitch Pamela. I'm so glad Nathaniel makes school hell for you. I don't care if what I said hurt you anyways. So just piss off." She concluded and my eyes got heavy.

"Like seriously? That's so immature." Ferb said.

"Was anyone talking to you?" Belinda glared at him.

"Um..I have to use the rest room." I sighed standing up.

"Yeah go and don't even come back here. Go to your home and cry your weak heart out. No one cares." She hissed and I even got surprised. Why was she being so mean? And how long had she hated me?

I walked away and the tears started streaming down my face. I was heading outside to somewhere lonely just to cry my eyes out for a bit.

When I found the place, I sat on the bench and sighed as I weeped under my breath. I didn't expect today to end like this...so sad.

I remembered I sensed slight change in her attitude, but I guess I didn't take it seriously. I heard some shuffling and my heart started pounding. I looked about and stood up about to run away.

I sensed someone's presence behind me and I turned around and placed my hand over ny chest slightly relieved because it was Nathaniel, instead of a kidnapper or something.

I tucked my hair behind my ear and turned to leave but he gently gripped his arm and pulled me towards himself. My chest heaved as I tried to breathe properly and he locked his eyes with mine.

"What are yiu doing here? I thought you said you wouldn't come?" He gritted. My lips trembled and my arm tingled at his touch.

"Uh..I changed ny mind..." I whispered.

"Why? Just because of Aldrick? You have him under your spell as well?" His jaw ticked.

"He..he..um.."

"What? Huh? He what?" He asked gripping both my hands. He pulled me closer to him and leaned his forehead on mine.

"I asked you first, and then you freaking told me you're not coming but then you show up with Aldrick?!" He growled.

What was his issue? Why is he so bothered?

I started to whimper because he grip on my arms were getting too tight.

"I'm...sorry." I panted and he neared his lips to mine. With his eyes shut, he pressed his lips on my cheek and I felt heat bubbling up in my stomach. I gasped when he pecked my jaw as well and gently loosened his grip on my arm. When he kissed my chin, I swayed my head back and lightly pushed him away.

Because I was not going to allow him to do something to me, then I'd regret just as he would and it wasn't even like he was going to treat me any nicer.

I wiped my face and quickly walked away from his presence.

***

"I'm so sorry about tonight. If I knew wthat-"

"Aldrick, it's okay, it's not your fault. Don't worry." I stated.

"Yeah I know but I'm scared you might refuse you go on another date with me." He said holding my hands. I was silent for a while and avoided his gaze.

"I'm sorry," I whispered removing my hands before I slid out of his car to my house. I glanced at Aldrick who passed me a sad smile before he drove off.

Later Eugene opened the door for me before I could even ring the bell.

"Its 10'oclock." He informed.

"Mine says 9:59" I shrugged going inside.

"So how did your party go?" He asked and those memories came flooding back. Including Angela's

"It was great." I sighed tiredly climbing the stairs. I went to my room and quickly removed my shoes.I checked my phone and saw several texts from Mackenna but for some reason, I didn't feel like replying.

I went to the bathroom and took a warm bath and hiccups in the process as well. After that, I wore my PJ'S and slid into my bed.

I wanted to study a little but I felt to tired to. So I just gave myself a break and set an alarm to study at dawn instead.

It didn't take long before sleep started over taking me.
