chapter 2

"Arzela stop!" I was annoyed that my sister stopped dancing in front of me.

"What can you say? Can I go to the goddess bar? Hahahaha!" She laughed causing me to laugh too.

What goddess bar is this talking about?

Arzela Claverya is my sister, she's 21 years old and a 4th year college taking up Bachelor of science in Accountancy. We are also in the same university but we rarely see each other. Because the 1st year building is far from the 4th year college. My sister is the only one who likes accountancy. So when Dad said that was the course he would take, he was very happy. While I was just trying. My Dad is a Certified Public Accountant while Mom is just a housewife.

We are not very rich. For me we are just average. My sister is the only one who always brags that we are rich.

"Maybe you can just dance with your boyfriend," I promised.

Instead of scolding me for what I said, he was happy. "If he wants to, go ahead! I'm good at dancing, aren't I."

I laughed, "Your ass is great."

"Hey! You're rude!"

"Tch, just think dirty," then I walked away. I went to the kitchen to eat. I saw Dad and Mom there. They both talk. So I didn't go on.

I was about to go back to the room when Ryu called.

"Yes?"

"Come on Arden," he said.

"Where?"

"Let's drink!"

I smiled and quickly got dressed. I didn't show my sister and Mom and Dad. Since I don't have my own car, even at night I commute. After I arrived at the night club, I immediately saw my friend.

"I thought you weren't going," said Ryu.

"No one can refuse alcohol," then I laughed. We even had a fist bump when I finally got close to him. I saw that he had already ordered wine and honey.

I looked around, "Where's Haru?"

"He doesn't want to come, they say they have an assessment tomorrow," he replied.

"Okay,"

"But bro, will you help him in Fern?"

I smiled, "Yup"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, what if I help him? He just asked me to do it."

"Maybe when you make friends with that, you will fall," he said.

"What fall?"

"Let's fall in love!"

I laughed, "That's not it bro."

"Are you sure about that?"

"Yes, 100 percent sure," I convinced.

We just changed the conversation. I don't plan to go home today. I don't care if my parents find me. I won't come in tomorrow either, that's up to you.

"Slowly Arden, you might not make it home," Ryu said.

I shook my head, "I'm not going home."

"What? Where are you going to sleep?"

"To you, I can be there, right?"

He didn't do anything else. We spent some time in the club, I had three bottles of beer. While Ryu was restraining himself from drinking a lot. Actually, Ryu's parents are not strict. It's fine with them that he comes home drunk. Instead of scolding, the parents even supported. I wish my parents were the same.

"You go there first," he told me.

"Where are you going?"

"There are chicks there, I'm just going to bite them," he joked.

I nodded while laughing, "Put it here."

"You can hope," then he winked.

I just watched him while talking to the woman. After a while I lost my attention on them. I focused on the two women across from us.

"Liera, huhuhuhu!"

My eyes narrowed and tried to reflect the two. Until I met one of them.

fern?

"Stand up please," he pleaded with Liera.

"I-I want to forget him," Liera grumbled.

I think she's broken hearted.

"You'll just get drunk, but when you wake up the next day you'll still be hurt."

"Leave me Fern, I just want to die."

"Let's go home! I'll kill you there at home!"

"Ukininam Fern!"

I frowned at their conversation. Until I lost my attention on them because the girl Ryu was talking to earlier approached me.

"Hi, Arden right?" This gentle manner.

"Yup, and you?"

"Karrie," she smiled. I made him sit next to me and I was surprised when he kissed me.

No brake brake, works immediately. So I also responded to his kiss. We're both kissing without worrying. She wrapped her arms on my shoulders and I placed my hands on her hips. I caressed his leg while we kissed.

When I opened my eyes, I immediately saw Fern. He was looking at me, and was amazed at what he saw. I smirked in between our kisses. I didn't remember Fern. While she was looking, I pulled Karrie closer and kissed her in the most intimate way.

Fern hasn't lost sight of us yet. So I put my hand inside Karrie's dress. It traveled to his chest causing him to moan.

"Ummm, don't stop," she said as she moaned.

Fern still closed her eyes and when I put Karrie on me, she turned her back on us. I secretly laughed while kissing Karrie.

I'm brave when it comes to kissing. But when it comes to sex, it's a bit back off. That's why I haven't moved anything until now.

"Bro stop now, there are people looking at each other," Karrie and I stopped when Ryu spoke.

We both looked at each other while panting.

"You're a good kisser," Karrie said with a smile.

"You too," I promised.

He left sitting with me and waved at Ryu and me as he left.

"Did you get his number?" I asked Ryu. He immediately shook his head. "Tch, too bad it's still good to kiss," then I laughed. Ryu just followed me in laughing.

I looked at where Fern was. Until now, he is still convincing Liera to leave.

"Ryu, go home first," I said while looking at Fern.

"Huh? I thought you were going to sleep with us?"

"I've changed my mind."

He also looked at what I was looking at. I still felt him tap my arm.

"Will you score with that girl?" He snorted at Fern.

"No way, she's Fern, Haru's type."

"What? Really?"

I nodded, "I'm gonna make a move."

"Eh?"

"I'll befriend him bro! For Haru."

"Hahaha! Do you think he'll be friends with you too? He saw what you did earlier with Karrie. He'll avoid you," he promised.

I didn't pay attention to what he said. When I stood up I felt a little dizzy. But I'm not drunk yet.

"Let's go because Liera," he insisted to his companion.

"I don't want it! I'm in pain," cried Liera. I cringed when I saw the condition of both of them. Fern noticed me.

"You need help?" I asked.

"No thanks," after he said that, he tried to lift his companion. They both almost fell.

"It's me," Fern did nothing when I sat in front of Liera. I felt that he was riding behind me. Even though he was heavy, I just endured it. I was even surprised when Liera smelled me.

"A-the pain," he said while sobbing.

Fern faced us. "Just take us to the boat."

I nodded. He was supporting Liera behind me as we walked.

"Why are you at the night club? We have school tomorrow," she asked.

"You? Why are you there?" I asked too.

We are far from the night club.

"I picked up my friend."

"What happened here?"

She sighed, "She and her boyfriend broke up."

I just nodded. We were silent, only the noise around us could be heard. Add to this the crying of his friend. After a while we arrived at the waiting shed. I made her friend sit while Fern just supported her.

"Thank you," Fern said. I remained standing in front of them. "You're not coming home yet?" She asked.

"I can't go home," I replied.

"Why?"

"I will be scolded," was the unhesitating reply.

"Where are you going to sleep?"

"Can you?"

Her eyes widened, "Hey! It's not possible, Liera and I are the only two in the apartment and my aunt will be angry!"

I secretly laughed at his reaction.

"Even if I'm in your living room," I promised determinedly.

I can't really go home now because my Dad is dead. Besides, I won't do anything bad to these two. It's like going to sleep.

"I don't trust you," she said seriously. "Did you think I didn't see what you did earlier? Right in front of me? Yaks," he said with disgust.

I smirked, "You enjoyed watching us."

"Your face!"

He looked around. He sighed when there was no car to be seen. It was already late at night and there were few cars passing by the place where we were.

"Is your apartment nearby?" I asked. He didn't answer, he kept waiting for the ride. "If it's close, let's walk," I added.

He looked at me badly. "Go home."

"It's not possible."

"I won't let you sleep with us," he promised. He approached his friend and guided him to stand up. "You're a pest! Do you think you'll feel better if you drink?" Liera was annoyed by this lecture.

I said nothing and held out his friend's arm. His eyebrows met with what I did.

"You said go home!"

"Don't shout," I teased.

"You're ugly too, what do you need from us?"

"I only need you," I answered directly.

He pulled his friend to me causing me to let go of his arm.

She arched her eyebrow, "What do you need from me?"

"You're my type of friend."

"Eh? Who? The one you were with earlier? Hey, I don't like a man who is flirtatious and has a vice. So stop me."

I shook my head, "My other friend."

"I don't care who it is."

Liera forced herself to stand when Fern pulled her. She guided her friend while walking. I just looked at them while walking slowly.

"Go away Mr. Claverya," he said angrily while turning his back on me.

"Let me help you Ms. Alcazar," I also promised.

He stopped walking and glared at me.

"I don't need your help."

"You need my help."

He turned back and they started walking. They only took a few steps when I noticed that Liera was knocking. When he slowly gave up, I quickly ran to them. I immediately caught Liera when she was about to fall to the ground. Fern was surprised by what happened to her friend.

"Liera! So what happened?" He touched her face and checked if she was still breathing.

"You told me you needed me," I casually said. He didn't do anything when I picked up his friend. Even if it was heavy, I just endured it.

Thanks to Haru, I'm making an effort for him.

She looks worried while looking at her friend. "This Liera is really stupid."

"I just fell in love," I tried to say properly even though I was struggling.

"Is that how you love? To destroy yourself when you leave?"

"Maybe she just wants to forget."

"Forget her face! I'm the one with the problem now."

"Chill miss,"

"Chill your face!"

I simply laughed, he didn't say a word anymore. Their apartment is quite close. So we got there quickly. After we entered, I made his friend lie down in his room. Fern immediately let me out because she said she was going to dress me.

I just sat on the small couch while looking around the screen. The apartment uses a balance of natural tones, wood, and stone, feels very in touch with nature. I feel like I'm sitting in a forest.

I looked around until Fern came out of the room.

"That's home," she said.

"I will sleep here tonight."

He teased me until he decided to end the call. I focused my attention on the girl next to me. It's Kesha, she has a big smile.

"Hi Arden," he smiled openly.

I looked around before talking to him. "hey"

"Your assignment is done," then she handed me my notes. I reached for it but didn't let go of his hand. I gently caressed it so she blushed.

"Not here Arden," she softly said.

"Where do you want to go then?"

She moved her body closer to me. "Can I go ahead of you?"

I laughed. "What do you mean?"

"You said you're a virgin."

"Yes"

"What if we c--" I put my finger to her lips.

"I'll call you when I need you," then I winked. She slowly nodded and said goodbye to leave.

I bit my lower lips while observing his body. She's sexy and intimidating but easy to get.

I opened my notes, my smile widened when I saw that my assignment was done.

"Just tutor me for free."

I immediately turned to what he said. I saw Fern standing in front of me. He peeked at my notes so I immediately hid them behind me.

"Huh?" I confusedly muttered.

"It's obvious you're using that girl for your acads. What's that? It's delicious, it's over right away?"

He must have heard our conversation with Deigo.

"I do not know what you're saying."

"That's the Kesha our classmate was talking about, right?" She asked. I'm not speechless. "It's a pity, you're still handsome. Case..." he examined my whole body.

"What?"

"It's a case of your bad behavior. Women turn off like that," I didn't know if he was serious or just pissed off.

"I don't need a serious relationship, and I don't have a girlfriend," I defended.

"You don't have plans to have a family in the future?"

"Nothing," I answered.

Her eyes blinked as she stared at me.

What does it do? Is he interested in me now?

"And miss, I'm not the one who's interested in you. My friend likes you. I'm just talking to you to get him to walk with you," I litany.

She slowly smirked, "What are you fighting for? I never said I wanted you."

It's like I'm ashamed of myself.

"I'm just clarifying that maybe you think I like you that's why I followed you last night," I argued.

She rolled her eyes, "Defensive."

"I'm not your type!" I shouted when he walked into the classroom. He turned to me and smiled.

"I'm not your type either," he said before entering.
