Chapter 7
Don't panic. Don't panic. Don't panic. Don't panic.
"Don't panic!" I shouted out. My sudden out burst make Vincent jump a few feet away from me. Everyone around us is looking in our direction. I quickly cover my mouth and grab Vincent's arm, running away from embarrassing ourselves more, well, from me embarrassing myself more. We both decided to meet each other before lunch and went to our own classes.
The bell ring, it's time for lunch. I pack my things and went straight to the canteen, standing outside, waiting for Vincent. I saw him walking with a girl clinging on his arm like a glue. "Alright! Let's go!" Vincent said and walk inside with the girl. I just followed behind. We finally got our food and trying to find a seat. There was no more available table, I was about to go outside to eat our lunch but Vincent stop me. I nearly dropped my food, I turn and glare at him. He put his hands up in defense. Nobody messes with me and my food.
Vincent is pointing his finger in front of him. I raise an eyebrow and look at where he is pointing. My eyes was wandering the area and finally spot a familiar blonde haired guy. My body stiffen, standing still on my spot. Vincent notice and drag me by my arm to their table with the girl beside him. I'm trying to escape from him but his grip is too tight. The blonde haired guy, who I think was Blake, he was talking with his friend. I swallow my own saliva as we got closer and closer, I can't control my breathing.
"Hey there!" Vincent said. They all turn their attention to us. The only person I'm focusing on is Blake. "You're the guy in math class. What's the name again? Vincent Knights?" Scott asked as he look at Vincent. Vincent just grin and nod. They both shake hands and sat down. Scott laugh, "Nice to meet you man, names-" "Scott Raelins, I know already man hahaha" Vincent cut Scott's sentence. We all talk to each other and eating our lunch happily. We learn a few things about each other also but what I've been observing so far, Blake doesn't really talk that much, even Stella. Well, I guess it would make sense for her since the rumors about her are over the campus.
"Hey Blake," Vincent started, "would you come to the party that I'm going to host in my dorm?" He said. I choke on my fries and quickly grab my water bottle, chugging the water down my throat and went back to breathing normally. I saw Vincent smirking at me. Blake was looking down, "Well...I've never been to a party and I don't really like parties at all." He said. I sigh a bit but Vincent had to continue his nonsense, "Come on, just go, of course Scott and your three friends can come to. Everyone will be there." He finishes. I will kill this man when we get back to our dorm.
We all look at Blake who is fidgeting his fingers. He looked up and smile a bit, "I guess one party won't hurt." He said. "Awesome! It's today at 7 pm sharp! Better come early or you're going to missed out the fun!" Vincent and continue to eat his lunch. I facepalm and sigh. After our lunch, we still have a bit more times before our next class starts. We all decided to walk around campus, talking about our relatives and other things. Blake seems nervous when Vincent asked him about it.
We said our goodbyes and went to our own classes. I was walking to my class when suddenly I felt a hand grab my shoulders and pull me back. I glare at Vincent, "Don't do that! Also what do you want?" I asked annoyed as I stand up and dusk myself. Vincent scratch the back of his head and laugh a bit. I raise an eyebrow and cross my arms.
"You see, there is no party at our dorm-" "Yeah no shit sherlock." I cut him off. Vincent sigh and said, "Look, just help me preparing the party and invite a lot of peeps."
"And why would I want to do that? Besides, I don't want our dorm to be a mess." I said and continue my walk to class, ignoring his begging. "Hey," he said, "didn't you want to know more about this Blake dude?" I stop walking and stare at the ground. "You know this is your chance to know him, a chance for you to know why you think something about him is weird." He finished. I turn and look back at him, "How did you know?" I asked. Vincent shrug and rest his hands on the back of his head, "So it's true?" He grin. I roll my eyes and walk away from him. I heard him laugh and running behind me.
We skipped our classes because we had to brings some stuff. We're finally in our dorm with a few boxes and drop them on the floor. "Alright! Let's get this place decorated!" Vincent said in joy and went straight to do the easiest work while he left me with the hard ones. I sigh and start working. After a few minutes, we almost finished everything. "I'm done with my part, now all that is left is for me to invite the people in the campus." He said as he walk towards the door.
I grabbed his arm and pull him back, "Hey, don't you dare go while I'm still doing my work." Vincent look at me with a pout, "But you can finish it off by yourself." "Even the foods, drinks, games?" I asked. He nodded. Before I could say anything else, he yank his arm away and run out of the door like a speed of light. I grunt and close the door, getting everything else set up while Vincent went out trying to find people to come to this party that he thinks would be a good idea to know about Blake, to which I can't deny.
"Ughhhh fuck me" I groan and flop down on the couch, closing my eyes. My body ache so much from me failing a few things. Burning the food, falling off a chair, broke a plate. Sometimes I wonder how am I alive after all that damage. I take in a deep breath and let it all out. Everything is quiet, the clock is ticking. I really want to sleep but right after I went into a deep sleep, the door swing open and slam the wall, making me jump and sit up in an instant. I look at the person and saw Vincent coming back but he's not alone, someone is behind him. He walked inside and I saw Stella.
Stella walks in and close the door behind her. She's just standing when Vincent came and asked her to sit on the couch. Well this will be a bit awkward between me and her since we never talk before and even in the canteen, we haven't talk to each other at all. She looked at me and look away. I just stare at her. Stella slowly walk over and sat down on the other side of the couch far from me. Vincent bring out a lot of clothes and trying to decide on which clothes he needs to wear. I turn and look at Stella to see her looking at me and then turn away.
"So Stella," Vincent said, "I heard some interesting things about you from the other students. Way too interesting to be honest, I don't know what to say to that." Stella hum in respond. "Look, I know you're not that kind of girl, you look too nice to be do such a thing." Vincent turn and smile, "I'm sure everything will be okay, we need to stay strong and work hard together." I glance at Stella, she smile back and nodded but then turn into a frown. I clench my hand into a fist and look away, I didn't bother to ask her or talk to her.
After we helped him picking his clothes, we decided to arrange our things to make a lot of space for the dance floor, Stella decided to help us since she said sitting alone while everyone is working make her like she's the useless one. Vincent smile softly and pat her head and lets her help us. Everything is finished. The table filled with plates of foods and a two giant bowl of punch, one of the giant bowl is a special punch.
"Okay, everything is done. Are you two ready and excited for this?!" Vincent yelled out in joy. I had to cover my ears, so id Stella. "I said, are you ready and excited for this?!" He once again yelled out in joy. "Yes we are! Now lower your voice down!" I said, looking at him while I still cover my ears. We heard a few knock on the door and turn our attention to the door. Vincent look at me and Stella, smile and nodded. We both nodded. He walk to the door and turn the door knob, opening it, revealing a lot of people, "Welcome to our party. Hope you all have a lot of fun till the very end."
