Chapter 4

Isabel Morgan

"What?"

And they both said, "You?" simultaneously.

"Yeah, me. Gentlemen."

"You are the worst singer." "Margot said."

"I am not."

"Are you not ashamed? Quit lying. We've heard you.

"Roughly that... You guys are terrible at your voices, so even though I knew I had a knack, I didn't want to show it off. I therefore concealed my abilities.

"Why are we friends with Abby?" Margot said, turning to face her. The insult is always present.

I laughed.

"Is it the duo thing?" inquired Abby.

I gave a nod.

With a doubtful expression, she inquired, "Who's the partner?"

"Umm..." The back of my neck was scratched.

"Who is the partner?" Margot inquired.

I turned red.

"Why the hell are you so red?"

"Who is it?" they both asked as they dragged me to the bed.

"Sebastian," I whispered.

And then the shouting. They shouted over their voices, and I put my hands over my ears to block off the sound.

Instead of pulling my leg and envisioning how lovely the moments would be, let's forgo the joyous screams.

I told Del everything after I returned to the room. She was also content. We also had the lab class again.

When I got to class after having a nice chat with my closest friend, Aubrey, my friends, as usual, picked the table next to his, and the worst thing is that they had reserved me a seat where Sebastian and I could see each other well.

They simply like making fun of me.

One day, I'll put an end to them bitches!

I gave them a fierce look and sat down.

"I hate you guys."

"Huh!" Del exclaimed. You're delighted with it, so stop complaining."

"Exactly, in your mind, you are dancing right now," Margot said.

Abby laughed.

My eyes automatically went to Sebastian, but I quickly turned away when I saw that he had already fixed me with his gaze.

"Don't you guys have anything to eat?" I inquired.

"Nope." Abby and Margot answered.

Del handed me a lunchbox after beginning to look in her purse.

"You're my saviour." Since I had forgotten my lunch, I grinned and saw a glimmer of optimism.

The box was empty when I opened it.

I gave her a blank stare.

"I had cookies the previous day; now they are gone."

"You are mean!" I said, glaring at her and pushing the lunchbox in her direction.

"Who asked you to diet?"

"I'm not on a diet! I simply dozed off.

"She sleeps all the time," Margot said.

Del laughed. "Funny thing, she has to wake up at 7 in the morning tomorrow and maybe the day after as well."

I pulled a sobbing face. "I know, right, it's torture."

Abby sung. "Love is in the air."

Margot sung. "Loverrrrr... Can I go where you go..."

"Shut up!" I reprimanded.

I lowered my head and pretended to cry as the three of us began to giggle. "I hate him." I sat back up again.

"Shall I wake you up at 6?" Del inquired.

"What? Why would you do that?

"You have to prepare yourself, you have to dress up properly, you need to look beautiful tomorrow."

"Oh yes, you need to look beautiful, babe." She was accompanied by Abby.

"My ass is gorgeous! "Why in the morning?" Whining, I put my hands over my face.

"You can wake up, baby, it's just two days." Margot attempted to inspire me.

Del started by describing, "Huh! Her mother calls her four times before her alarm goes off at six in the morning, and she eventually wakes up at seven thirty. I wonder how she will wake up. The words "Viv" and "early morning" don't even make sense together. However, this time she became very eager and spoke a little too loudly.

To prevent Margot from saying another word, I extended my hand as though it would reach her mouth and shut it.

"Why are you shouting?" She was stopped by Margot.

"I apologize. I apologize. I went a little too far.

However, Stanley and Brody turned to stare at us, so I'm positive her voice was loud enough for the people at the next table to hear us. Brody tried not to giggle as he stared at me.

Take care of yourself, buddy!

My gaze went to him, and I bit my lip... Sebastian was working on something on the table with a pen in his hand. His gaze briefly lingered on me before he turned down to continue working, but a faint smile was visible on his lips.

Murder me!

Even though I enjoy it when he looks at me, I didn't want this.

Believe me, even when I do simple things, there is a part of me that dances when he looks at me.

"Why are you so loud?" Abby slapped her head.

"Attention, class!" The voice of the teacher came.

I'm accustomed to these humiliations now, and they always happen in front of him. Always.

I suppose the cosmos doesn't want him to like me.

We were simply strolling down the street to the hostel after the class. My attention was abruptly drawn to a hot dog stand. I was so hungry that I pulled all three of them along. While we awaited the orders, De ordered four hot dogs and coffee for us.

As soon as the man gave us the hot dogs, I began shoving them into my mouth like a ravenous animal.

"Whoa! This is incredible. As she took a small bite out of her hot dog, Margot spoke.

"Food is life, bro." Del took the tiniest bite and spoke again.

Abby and I were actually cramming the hot dog into our mouths at the time. The hot dog was suddenly filling my mouth. I tried chewing it, but it was really hard.

"Oh look, it's Cheeks!" Del pointed, and as a reaction, I looked back, still struggling to keep the hot dog out of my lips.

I glanced around and saw Sebastian standing there. My eyes widened as he passed directly in front of me, looking me over and passing judgment.

That is entirely within your rights.

You can judge me all you want.

I'm a complete wreck.

I am a complete wreck.

Never again.

I chewed the hot dog as quickly as I could, but wow, it was hard. When I was finished, I swallowed it whole.

He glanced over my shoulder at the stall owner, who was still standing in front of me-or rather, not far away.

Oh my God! He has a wonderful scent.

Get out of my way before I kiss you. I feel like kissing you.

I gazed at him. I was unable to look away from him. He's stunning. As I enjoyed his beauty, I licked my lips.

"Two hot dogs, please." He gave an order.

And he looked at me one last time while I was biting my lip to keep from kissing him. As soon as I realized he was staring at me, I turned my attention back from his lips to his eyes. He simply returned to Brody.

I turned around again, frozen.

"Don't tell me, he saw you like this?" Del said, covering her lips with her palm.

"Shall we look for someone else for you to crush upon?" Abby asked, glancing around.

As she handed me a piece of tissue paper to wipe my lips, Margot said, "That's the only reason I ask you to eat slowly."

"Can we leave, please?" I ask myself as I close my eyes and shove the last of the hot dog into my lips.

"Sure, I don't want the day to get any worse for you," Abby said.

As we walked out of the stall, I waited for Abby to cross the street while holding her hand. Alright, the traffic is heavy here without zebra crossings, and I am not adept at crossing the road.

As she crossed the street, she pulled me along with her since I was standing there, almost gazing up at the sky, and I had forgotten that we needed to cross the street.

"You know what, we'll die one day, and the reason will be you." She reprimanded me.

I turned to look for Sebastian one last time.

He was enjoying his hot dog and chatting with Brody at the hot dog stand. I looked at him and licked my lips.

Oh no! Even while he's eating, he still looks hot.

When I eat, I am a complete mess.

You saw yourself eating when? Perhaps he finds you attractive as well.

I laughed in my head.
