EMPIRE CLUB***
The lights were dimmed and the background was a little bit noisy. The club was boozing as the students kept chatting amongst themselves.
The A4 sat at a corner, watching everything that’s going on in the club.
Audrey walked to them, taking her steps slowly. She threw a flirty smile at Axel before sitting close to him.
“You look hot” she whispered in his ears.
Axel ignored her and brought out a lighter and box, he lighted the stick before placing it in his mouth.
“Dude, just look at that girl, she’s so segzy” Aaron smiled, watching a girl who was busy chatting with her friends.
Aiden nodded in agreement, he was looking for the perfect girl to flirt with.
Ace was drinking from a cup when his phone buzzed, it was a message from Paisley.
★ WHERE ARE YOU? I’M AT THE CLUB ALREADY ★ The message reads
Ace sighed before replying to her. He placed his phone on the table and took a sip from the drink.
His eyes were searching the club for Melanie, but there was no glimpse of her.
“Isn’t she coming?” He wondered aloud.
“Hey,” Paisley smiled as she approached him. She sat beside him and kissed his cheek.
Axel scoffed as he watched them, he took his gaze away and diverted his attention to Audrey.
“Why’s she here?” Aaron asked, not caring if Paisley was gonna hear him.
“Aren’t I supposed to be here?” Paisley asked back.
Aaron scoffed before taking his eyes away.
A loud scream filled the club when Melanie and her friends entered.
“Wow! Who’s that girl? She’s so beautiful!”
“That’s Melanie! The prettiest girl in our class!”
“Gosh, she’s so beautiful!”
Everyone started admiring them as they entered the club fully.
Ace couldn’t believe his eyes when he set his eyes on Melanie. He could never believe she was this beautiful.
Paisley frowned as she watched him gawking at Melanie, she could feel herself getting jealous.
“Axel, are you listening to me?” Audrey asked Axel whose eyes seemed to be distant from hers.
She stared at the direction of his eyes and frowned when she saw him staring at Melanie.
“Can’t you just stop staring at her? It’s beginning to piss me off” Audrey complained to Axel.
“If you’re uncomfortable with it, then f-__-k off” Axel said harshly.
His eyes went back to Melanie and a smile left his lips.
“She’s so beautiful” he mumbled, bringing a cup to his lips.
***
Melanie sat with Julie and Lauren, they were busy chatting and laughing to themselves.
“I told you the guys are gonna drool over you” Lauren said.
“Well I h@ťě it, it’s creepy” Melanie shuddered.
Julie giggled.
“You just need to accept it, you’ll be seeing more of this, trust me”
Melanie stared ahead of her and her gaze landed on Ace who was also staring at her. Paisley was beside him.
Melanie rolled her eyes before looking away. She faced her friends.
“I need to use the restroom,” she said.
“Will you be fine alone? Want me to come along?” Lauren asked.
“No, I’ll be fine” Melanie smiled and stood up, then she walked away.
***
Immediately Ace saw Melanie leaving, he stood up.
“Where are you going?” Paisley asked.
Ace ignored her and walked off.
Paisley folds her fist tight, biting her lips hard. She knew Ace was going after Melanie and that alone pissed her a lot.
Ace got to the restroom and waited outside patiently, hoping for Melanie to come outside.
After a minute, Melanie came out and stopped walking when she saw him.
She crossed her hands across her chest and gave him an eye roll.
“What are you doing in the ladies restroom?” She questioned.
“You look beautiful,” Ace said.
Melanie scoffed, taking her gaze elsewhere.
“Are you still mad at me?” Ace asked slowly.
“No”
“That’s a lie, Melanie. You’re mad at me, I know that”
“Why should I? Oh, you think I’m still in love with you?” Melanie chuckled.
“Then you must be dreaming, I got over you dude, I don’t even feel a thing for you anymore.”
“Don’t worry, you can go ahead with Paisley. You guys can keep f-__-king yourself in the restroom, it’s none of my business anyways” Melanie smirked before walking away.
Ace’s eyes grew wide at her last statement.
“Did she….”
“f-__-k!” He punched the nearest wall in anger.
****
“Over here!” Julie waved at Melanie.
Melanie creased her brow when she saw everyone around a table.
As she walked to the table, her eyes spotted Axel’s. He was staring at her, his eyes not leaving hers for once. She had to look away when she felt uncomfortable with it.
“Wow! I’m so glad to have you among us here” A guy smiled.
“Have your seat” Lauren patted a space for her.
Melanie sat down feeling uneasy, she was facing Axel who wouldn’t stop staring at her.
“What’s going on here?” She asked Lauren in a whisper.
“A truth and dare game” Lauren whispered back
“What?”
Lauren winked while Julie laughed.
“Baby, over here!” Paisley shouted when Ace appeared.
“Can’t believe this,” Aaron shook his head.
Ace stared at Melanie who wasn’t even looking at him before going to sit beside Paisley.
Soon, everyone was present and the game started.
The bottle was spinning and it faced Aiden.
“What? Me?” Aiden asked, looking at everyone.
“Yea, you. C’mon” Aaron urged.
Aiden faced Sienna who was in front of him and sighed a little.
“Truth or dare?” He asked.
“Truth” Sienna blushed.
“Have a guy you’re in love with among us?” He asked.
“Yea” Sienna smiled.
“Awww” the students smiled.
“Oh…” Aiden nodded and the game continued.
The bottle spun again and it pointed at Melanie, Ace was the one to ask her the question.
“Truth or Dare?” He asked.
“Dare” Melanie replied boldly.
“I dare you to kiss me right on this spot” Ace said.
“What?!” There was a loud gasp.
“What if I don’t?” Melanie asked, staring at him.
“You drink a whole glass of beer” Ace smirked.
“That bastard,” Lauren gritted.
To everyone’s surprise, Melanie poured the beer into a glass cup, filling it to the brim.
She brought the glass cup to her lips and drank the contents in a go.
“Satisfied?” She eyed Ace.
Ace stared at her in disbelief. Melanie was intolerant to alcohol and her drinking shows how much she despises him.
“Are you okay?” Julie whispered to Melanie.
“Yes,” Melanie smiled.
The game continued for a very long time. Audrey was dared to give a guy a lap dance, it was really fun to watch.
“f-__-k, I’ve been waiting for this” Aaron grinned when the bottle pointed at Axel.
“Truth or dare?” Aaron asked Axel.
“Dare” Axel muttered.
“I dare you to kiss any girl you want, right here, right now” Aaron smiled.
Audrey was already smiling where she was, she knew she’d be the one, no doubt.
“Wow!”
“I wish to be the one!”
Axel smiled and stared at Melanie who was also staring at him.
Slowly, he got to his feet and circled the table, the student’s eyes following his every move.
To everyone’s surprise, he stopped just when he got to Melanie and bent beside her.
“Oh my,” Julie gasped
Melanie stared at Axel in nothing but shock, why was he here with her?
Axel leaned closer to her, his eyes hovering around her lips.
“Can I borrow a kiss from you, Mel? I promise to return it back” he smiled cutely.
“What the f-__-k!”
“I’m gonna faint!”
Without waiting for her reply, Axel placed his hand on Melanie’s hair, his lips crashing on her soft one.
“f-__-k!” Some girls fainted at the spot.
