Chapter 1
"What??" Alison half yelled and whispered at me when I told her Jeremy and I already broke up. Well, not particularly a break up because we are not in a relationship in the first place. "Are you serious?" her facial reaction never fails to amaze me. I can't blame Allison though Jeremy is a nice guy, to good for me.
The truth is, I didn't even know why and understand why I was acting like this. In my life, I never felt this what you call sparks or love at first sight which I constantly heard from my friends, watch on TV or read in books.
So my number rules is. No Romantic feelings, No strings attached!
"Ali, I already told you okay. You don't have to ask me twice." I stated with a grin on my face. "I know, i know im such a b***h. But hey. Don't judge me."
She released a frustrated and long breath. I feel bad for my best friend. I didn't want to upset her but this is me and Alison knew that. I don't date men twice well only for those lucky ones and most especially I never like to commit myself in any romantic relationship.
Alison shook her head in disbelief. "Riley, I swear to God. Someday you will pay for this."
I chuckled and jumped on the bed totally ignoring her. "What would be the p*****t?" Oh gosh. I really miss my bed. We just got back from a wonderful vacation in Europe but we needed to cut our trip because of school. Agh. Thankfully this is my last year in High School. My Senior year! "I know though." I concentrated in the ceiling, trying to find something interesting. "I just- I have not felt this sparks, butterflies in my stomach and so on.."
"Soon,you will." Alison muttered under her breath as she lay down next to me. "But you can't never find true love by hurting other people, you can't just use them for your own expense, satisfaction and s*x life." She paused for awhile and looked at me with all the seriousness in the world. "Riley, all you have to do is to wait and stop being bitchy slut."
Alison is not my best friend for nothing. She is right and always be.
"Slut?" I rolled my eyes. "How dare you.."
Alison laughed softy. "Anyway." She paused and sat up in my bed. "We have to prepare for your party tonight!"
Jeez. I almost forgot that it's my birthday today and I'm officially, legally 18 years. I can finally vote for the next presidential election, go to the clubs and most of all I can do whatever I want in my life.
I stood up and grabbed the phone in my nightstand, scrolling up and down and look for something. I called Scott, my butler and told him to prepare the biggest party of the year.
I arrived at my birthday party really late. As always. People greeted me as I marched towards my friends. The party is very monstrous and alive. I have to thank my butler later who did a really great job.
" Oh my god! I can't believe that you are freaking late on your own Birthday Riley!" Allison yelled at me.
"I'm sorry," I apologized to her. Alison is so beautiful today with her red cocktail dress while her long blonde her is gracefully cascaded on her feminine shoulders. "I woke up late."
She rolled her eyes at me but didn't say anything.
"Stop fighting girls. Let's enjoy!" Belle chipped in, she is one of my minion.
First, we are not fighting. We just love teasing, mocking and attacking each other. That is how we show our concern and love. Maybe a very weird way but very effective.
"Anyway," Alison grabbed her wine glass. "To my heartbreaker best friend."I chuckled of what she said. "Happy Birthday Riley Summerfield"
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY RILEY!" The crowd shouted in sync.
"Thank you guys. Have fun!" I said to my guests. The music blasted around the venue and people starts to get high.
Fresa came to me while holding a cake with a small candle in the middle. I blew it up. "Wish!" My friends said in unison. Honestly, I didn't know what to ask for, practically I have everything now. Maybe just good health. But yeah, I did what they told me.
"Happy Birthday Ry!" My friends gave me a hug one by one and of course their presents.
"Thank you girls! You know I love you right?"
"Stop the drama. Let's enjoy!" Alison retorted with a slight shove on my shoulder.
"Okay! Cheers!" I lifted my wine glass up and motioned to have a cheers. They followed me and shouted. "CHEERS!"
The party has officially started. The DJ play Super Bass by Nicky Minaj. The strobe light are swirling around the venue as the music bounced against the walls. People are grinning, drinking nonstop and make out like there's no tomorrow. A typical life of an teenagers.
While there is me, started feeling a little dizzy and lightheaded. The alcohol is slowly getting under my skin. Oh gosh. The room is spinning. Yikes. I'm too drunk to realize. I excused myself to my friends and walked towards the restroom. My legs are jelly and almost giving up on me. When I was about to turn around I fell on my butt on the floor.
"Aw f**k!" I hissed under my breath.
What the hell? I lifted my head up and trying to see who did this to me. My eyes are blurry but my sight adjusted when I saw the beautiful woman standing right in front of me. She has a mesmerizing green eyes, red hair, straight nose and full red lips. Wait? Is she a goddess? Is she a sister of Aphrodite?
I shamelessly checking her out, it's weird but I can't help this strange feelings inside me to stared at her.
Well. I guess. I'm just too drunk. Maybe I was just hallucinating. How could a Goddess fall down from the stars?
"Oh gosh, I'm sorry!" she asked worriedly. She knelt down. "Are you okay?" f**k it. Even her voice is spell bounding. I jerked when I felt her hand on my arm. There was a jolt of electricity runs through my veins but when I was about to say something. My vision suddenly turned into pitch black and I got lost in the dark.
I don't know what the hell happened to me but when I opened my eyes. I noticed I'm inside the unfamiliar car. My eyes landed to the woman next to me who is driving really fast. Jesus. Where are we going? Where this woman is going to take me?
"Stop the car!" I demanded when I totally regained my composure. For the record, I came from Summerfield Clan, one of the riches clan around United States! So we are prone by taking advantage of people with hidden intention.
She looked at me with a disbelief expression. "No.."
I chuckled, trying to play it cool but deep inside I'm nervous. "I said stop the car!"
She gave me a thick shook of her head. "And I said no!"
I started to get annoyed, my eyebrows knitted to each other. "I said stop this damn car! Or else I will jumped—"
She laughed just to mocking me. "Okay! Jumped out of my car!"
My jaw dropped! Wow is this woman even f*****g serious?
It angered me more. "Where the f**k you are taking me?" But the woman stay quiet. "Are you kidnaping me?"
She looked at me while laughing hysterically.
"Oh my God! I can't believe this!" I scoffed and crossing my arms around my chest. The beautiful woman smirked. Oh stop it Riley! Don't call her beautiful! "How much do you want? Just don't hurt me okay!" I told her calmly.
"I don't need your money!" her voice is emotionless.
"Then why you kidnapping me?"
But before I could ask for more she suddenly stepped on the break and stopped the car in front of my house. How does she know where I live? Oh my god. This girl is creepy!
"How- how did you know--"
"Get out. You can leave now!"
Wow! This girl is really something! But I did what she told me before she changes her mind. The car slowly vanished from my sight.
