Chapter: 6
Vic's POV:
"I am not here to talk to you, miss goody two shoes; I am here to make an offer to Tyson and Nathan here."
To say I am shocked by her harsh tone would be a complete lie. She has always been rude to everyone except the good looking guys. But she is always exceptionally rude to me because I have three of the most popular guys around me, one of them being my brother and none of them actually reciprocate to her advances ever, not even a player like Peter. He actually ditched her because she was rude to me and now that two hottest guys of the school who were practically unapproachable till now are my friends, her jealousy has sky rocketed. You ask me who she is? Let me introduce you to the Plastic Barbie of our school or as she calls herself "The Queen Bee" more like the queen bitch, Stella Jacobs. She is the most fake person I have ever met and before anyone say that I am being hypocrite and judging her, let me make it clear that I know her very well. Ever since Kindergarten, I have been nice to her and tried to be her friend but she has always been the bitch she is and pushed me around and humiliated me. She is the biggest bully of the school and I have experienced her bullying first-hand. I am actually the first person to ever stand up against her as no one had dared it before because her parent are really rich and can do anything for their daughter. I know them very well as their company sometimes collaborates with my parents' company for business. Moving on from the intro part, now she is here with her two minions, Nina and Riana, both made of plastics like their leader. I was about to say her something when I hear Ty speak.
"Umm.... Not to be rude but who are you?" The shock in their faces hearing the question was priceless. I don't think they have ever been asked like that. Soon composing herself, Stella replies to him, laughing a little.
"That was really funny Tyson, you really have a great sense of humour, I mean who doesn't know me in this school."
"I am serious. I honestly don't know who you are but do tell me how can we help you?" If she felt insulted by this, she completely masked it and introduced herself.
"I am Stella Jacobs and they are Nina and Riana, my friends. We wanted to offer you and Nathan to come and sit with us. I am the queen of this school and you are the King so we belong together. Hanging out with these losers will downgrade your status, especially if you hang out with this good for nothing tomboy here." She says sneering at me and I feel Ty tensing beside me, his fist clenching so tight that his knuckles turn white. My hands automatically grab his hand and he relaxes a bit before glaring at Stella with a murderous look. He then speaks to her in such a dangerous tone that everyone around start fearing but for some unknown reason I find it really attractive. God, I am such a lost case.
"Firstly, I choose my friend myself, you do not tell me whom to hang out with and secondly, never and I mean never talk about her in that tone. One more trash talk about her and I will make sure you won't be able to talk the rest of your life. I don't care if you are a girl; no one dares to even think bad about my friends. Did I make myself clear?" She gulps visibly and run away from there nodding her head as a yes. After some moment of dead silence our group erupts into laughter fits. Sobering up Nate fist bumps Ty and speaks.
"Bro her face was priceless, it was high time someone showed her place. I was fed up of hearing about her behaviours but could not do anything as I had never seen anything myself." Hearing him Peter decides to blurt out more.
"Oh you have not seen her bullying Vic, she used to be ruthless but once Vic started standing up for herself, she left our group alone." Ty and Nate both look at me in disbelief and ask in unison, "She used to bully you?" Before I could speak, Ky answers the question.
"Oh, you have no idea; no any bullying can be compared to what she used to do with Vic; from verbal abusing to physical torture, you name it. Talking trash, name calling, shoving in the hallways, beating in the back of the school, locking in empty classrooms, all and more. Every students of that time know about it, how do you two not know?"
"When did all these happen?" This time Kael answers him. "Around the mid year of eight grade and it ended before the year ended."
"oh now we get it." Nate says and eyes Tyson as if seeking permission to speak further. Once Ty nods his head, he tells us, "Both of us had transferred to another school that year and we re-joined the school in ninth so basically we were not here for a year that is why we did not know anything about this." I want to ask them more about this but decide against it as I am sure that Ty will tell me when the time comes. When I look at Ty, I can see anger in his eyes which is quickly hides and questions, "So how did she stop her bullying then?" Now it was Caleb's turn to speak. Seriously, are they taking turns to speak on purpose? Dramatic much.
"When the bullying started getting out of hand, we spoke to our parents and they made both of us join the self defence classes. Vic did not want to make a complaint about it but she decided to stand up for herself and others too. Those classes helped us to grow mentally and physically strong. Ever since then Vic has been continuing her boxing and is very good at it. Actually, she is the current champion of the club." I can see the pride in his eyes as he speaks of the past. The bullying may have been a painful experience for me but the same experience has made me stronger than I could ever thing of being. I fought with my own weaknesses and emerged a winner. Suddenly I start feeling a bit shy as I see Ty looking at me with so much of admiration, his soft gaze and prideful smile makes my hear melt and I start representing a ripe tomato. Hey I don't even like tomatoes tbh.
Soon the bell rings indicating the end of lunch hour and all of us start to head towards our next classes.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Today is Friday which means its Caleb's game is today and tonight is our first big step towards our mission. I can't even stop grinning like crazy, thinking about the success of our mission. God, I can't wait.
I have been so excited since morning that everyone around me, except Ty, have started looking at me weirdly but I don't care.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
The game was interesting and very close but our school won as usual because, come on, my brother is the captain of the team for some reason right? The game was over with the final score of 3-2, where our school has made 3 goals out of which 2 goals were from Cal. The last goal which decide the victory was so awesome and Cal made it just at the very last moment when time was about to get over and with the final score the whole crowd stared hooting in victory.
Now we are on our way to pic Cal up from his victory party and head towards the beach house. Ty and Nate drove their truck so every one could fit in a single vehicle so now Ty is driving, I am on the passenger seat and everyone else is at the back. Once we reach the party house, we spot Cal waiting for us outside the gate. As soon as he gets to the truck and settle in, he starts his complains, "Seriously guys, couldn't you come a little early, I was getting bored out of my mind and I don't even want to think about the harassment I faced in there. The girls had nearly eaten me altogether, I had to hide inside the bathroom to get away from them." We all burst into laughter at this and he just crosses his arms and pouts at us. The rest of the drive is just fun with all of us singing the random songs, along with the radio, on top of our lungs.
Finally, we reach the beach house, and let me tell you, it is simply amazing (Picture on the top). I have never seen such a beautiful beach house in my life. I mean I have seen in pictures, but never in reality. Once we finish gawking at the house, we enter inside and the inside is even more beautiful than I had ever imagined. My admiration was halted due to someone's voice, more specifically Ty's voice. "So let's decide on who shares the room with whom and keep our luggage in the rooms."
"But how do we decide about this, we are three girls and five boys, so its uneven." It was Peter who spoke and everyone nodded in agreement to which Ty says, "Let's do one thing, we should make some chits and write down the number one to four in two chits each and pick up a chit per person, then two people with the same number will share the rooms. We all are friends so there should not be any problem with any one sharing with each other." We all think about it for some time then agree with him. We quickly make eight chits with the numbers and put it inside a bowl. After we mix all the papers, we start picking a chit each. Peter is the first one to open his paper and soon we all follow the process and open our respective papers.
The result is out and we all head towards our rooms. You ask me what the result was? Lets see, Peter got the number three and so did Kael, so he and K will share the rooms. Likewise both Ky and Maddy got One hence were roommates which meant now Cal, me. Nate and Ty were left. Cal got number two and the other number two was held by Nate. I mentally did a victory dance knowing Nate and Cal would share the room but failed to realise that I was now sharing the room with Ty. Finally the realisation hits me and I start to panic in my head. I mean sharing the room with the person you like can be both the blessing and punishment. I would get to spend more time with him but what if I start sleep talking or walking or worse hitting? Yeah I do these weird things while asleep. I would definitely embarrass myself in front of him. Ever since I realised my feelings for Ty, I have been super conscious around him but being in the same room might give away my feelings and he might not speak to me after that.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
We all are now gathered in the living room after freshening up. I can see all my friend looking at me worriedly but I smile at them and tell them that I am fine with the living arrangements and I trust Ty so they have nothing to worry about. They finally agree to it and smile as Ty and Nate enter the living room with some snacks and drinks. We all take a bottle of beer each and start munching on the snacks. After some drinks everyone start loosening up and I finally see my opportunity to take the plan in action. I discreetly sign to Ty and he gets the message and starts the act. "Alright guys, lets play a game of truth and dare."
Adding fuel to it, I say, "Yes lets play, but there are rules to it."
"What are the rules?" Nate asks and I smirk. "Any given dare should be completed, no backing out and truth should be a complete truth, no lies. We are all friend so we can share anything with each other and what said or done here shall remain here if we want so." Everyone agree to the rules and we start playing the game.
Let's wait for the next chapter to know what the plan is all about. Next chapter is going to be very special as many truths are going to get revealed and many dares are to be completed.
