All I have to do, is not fall in love with him.
Chapter IV: Bad Girl
There's no telling what she might do
She's a bad girl
Just don't let her bite you
Everyone's starting to get drunk, or at least tipsy, except Flora, Sky and I. You know how people get nicer and looser when they are drunk? Well, that's the opposite of Stella's behavior. She seems rather alert, but only because she's always ready to verbally attack someone. So I learned that the dark brown haired boy's name is Brandon, the goofy boy with the glasses is Timmy and the one with the long black hair is named Helia. Brandon is nice though he is Stella's male equivalent. Timmy's a nerd, I can make him blush every 5 seconds and Helia is… soft? He suits Flora very well, he's sweet and artistic though he can make fun too, something that I'm witnessing right now. He's madly in love with Flora but he has to make a move for God's sake because Flora won't undertake anything, she's too shy.
I'm bored. Sky and Layla are talking alone with serious looks on their faces and Musa's talking to Riven. I hear Stella calls Musa, through which Riven stands alone. Not for long. I rush over to him.
"So… do you like Musa?" I ask with a sweet smile. I don't really have a sweet smile around people I don't actually know, but hey!
"She's hot"
"I know that" I say, rolling my eyes "That's not what I asked"
"Well then I'm not going to answer" he says smugly. What a dick. He won't even admit it.
"If you hurt her, you'll be sorry" I don't trust him, to be honest. He wanted me, that's already enough reason to not trust him.
"Very sorry" I emphasize with the same sweet smile, leaving him there astounded. I look someone to have a conversation with, but then I feel something creeping over my back. Just a small touch. I don't like this. At all. I move away from the group slowly. I open my hand, whispering "Digital View" and a digital map of the environment twirls on the palm of my hand. Nothing. Strange. Off course, I forgot something! This is a small spell Tecna taught me two days ago; it's very convenient, if you use it right off course.
"Animalia" I say quietly and look if something changes. A few red dots appear on the green outlines, but nothing unusual. Unless… Now I see a human being appearing on the map. Behind me. I stoop and spin around, quickly drawing a dagger out of my trousers.
"Whoa! Relax!" someone says, shocked.
"God Sky" I manage to say, rubbing my hand over my head, relieved.
"What are you doing with that dagger?!" he asks, not-understanding.
"You really ought to look up what it means to be the tenth crown princess of Sparx" I say, shaking my head in disbelief. He wants to say something but I prevent it.
"Shut up" I whisper agitatedly. I look up, at a large old oak tree, and look at the digital map again. I assess the distance and throw my dagger at a big branch, causing a beaver to fall down. Excuse me, a beaver? Sky looks at me questioningly.
"Shut up" I say and walk away. I don't understand. There was something there, I felt it. I may not have a lot of magic, but that's something I always sense. Sky walks past me and joins the group again. I follow him, fed up with this. I look at the group in frustration.
"Okay" I yell "I don't know about you guys but God I am so bored"
"Finally!" Layla says in the same tone.
"Thank you!" Musa exclaims relieved
"Okay then, music wonder child, do you have something better to do?" Stella asks scornfully, with a confident smirk.
"As a matter of fact, I have!" Musa replies sweetly "It's as old as my dad, but it's still fun."
"Aaah, truth or dare" I guess
"Yeey!" Stella says sarcastically.
"Do you know something better, fashion wonder child?" Musa scoffs. She suddenly shuts up. Okay write that down; Stella shuts up! Creepy.
----
"Truth or dare?" Musa asks me innocently.
"Dare" I reply certain.
"I dare you to kiss Sky" she looks at me defiantly. God I would like to destroy her now. This is humiliating; she's helping me with Sky because she thinks I can't pull it off. Well then, her mistake.
"Truth" I say, changing my mind.
"Fine" Musa says, not-understanding I blew that chance.
"Who was your first?" Stella asks, dropping in. I eye her coldly.
"It's not your turn" I say, getting up.
"Excuse me" I say emotionally and leave the group. Of all the questions in the world, of all the people in the world; that question, Stella. I should have known though, this is the kind of question they use in this game. I knew Musa wouldn't ask it though, and Stella… God she should just shut that stupid, big, arrogant mouth of her.
I walk into the nearest bathroom of Alfea and look in the mirror. I didn't cry. Good. I glare in the mirror at the person who' staring back at me with the same blank, sad face. Do I hate myself? Is it me? Am I messed up? My thoughts are interrupted by a short knock on the door, followed by a familiar voice.
"Bloom? Are you okay?"I hear Stella's worried voice ask. I didn't know that I couldn't ask that question, I am so sorry! But these games, they involve these kind of questions, but hey, I am so sorry." She remains silent and then starts talking again off course!
"Tecna's doing her dare right now. Don't you wanna see it?"
"Just a second" I say, trying not to act annoyed. I really don't feel like this anymore.
"She has to kiss Riven" she sings playfully. On the other hand… I open the door carefully.
"No way? Musa?"
"Flora" she says with sparkling eyes
"Wohow. Go Flora! Didn't see that one coming, nonetheless."
"Come on" she says and we go to the group again.
"Come on Riven, you can do this, no need to be nervous" I say, laughing. Oh if looks could kill.
"I'll get back at you" he grumbles thru clenched teeth. I smile at him, waving him an air kiss. Tecna makes the first move and their lips touch for one second and break apart as fast as they were brought together.
"Oh come on, is this really it?" I ask disappointed. "Flora?" I ask hopefully
"I didn't tell them how to kiss" she admits guiltily. Damned. I am so dead.
"So Riven, it's your turn" Layla quickly says.
"Okay, Bloom" Riven starts sneeringly. Boy I am popular today "Truth or dare?" hm, tough one. If I take dare he'll make me do something horrible but if I take truth, he'll ask me Stella's previous question. I'll pick dare. No drama's tonight.
"Dare"
"Okay" a big smirk appears on his face. Uh oh."I dare you to kiss Sky. French kiss" he clarifies "Thirty seconds?" I look at him, astonished
"Don't worry, Timmy can time that exactly. And really, not like Tecna and me, just better than the usual." Oh now I'm offended.
"Are you doubting my kissing skills?" I ask insulted. I look at Layla questioningly.
"Proof yourself" he replies. Layla nods. Fine. I crawl over to Sky and he comes closer to me so we're in the middle of the group. I lay one hand on his cheek and softly kiss him on the lips.
"Oh come on, Bloom!" Riven exclaims, mockingly. I shoot him a withering look. Ready, I ask Sky with my eyes. Our lips connect again but now I make my tongue enter his mouth, he kisses me back; first hesitantly, but soon more confidently. Translation; he's all over me. I move his hands from my shoulder to my waist, so he starts rubbing my back gently. He cups my face and deepens the kiss, more fiercely. He bows forward so I land up under him but I push him back up and as I want to position myself on top of him, I hear a few voices.
"Um Bloom, the thirty seconds are already over you know."
"You can stop now."
"Sky?
I'm the first one realizing what's happening. I push Sky down, secure again.
"So Riven" I say "Still having doubts or do you want me to test you too?"
"Uh" he utters with a trembling voice. I move slowly to him, place my hand behind his belt, merely an inch away from his actual pants, and whisper
"Maybe later" I get up 'cause I did what I needed to. I made everyone believe, including Sky and Layla, that I can get anyone I want too. Oh and they will even experience it.
A/N: so, I'm sorry but did my story suddenly sucked 'cause I got like 3 reviews? Or did you think I already got enough reviews the previous chapter? I don't get it! Is it bad? I'm just used to it, just give me something! If necessary just 'update' but SOMETHING! I almost cried, seriously. Well I cry too much, I suppose. I just watched 'The Patriot' and I cried 6 times. Seriously! 6!
About Bloom… the least you say is that she's pugnaciously! Did you notice that thing with the dagger? What's up with that? And what the hell does it mean to be the tenth crown princess of Sparx? Maybe Sky should look it up some time…
