Chapter sixteen

Xoey's POV

I had made a promise to my mother.

A promise promised is done.

I made up my mind to not talk to Ida after Haileys party.

Ida picked me up from home and I wore the short white knickers, white bra, buggy lacy top and  topped it up with the pair of pink slippers,dark sunglasses and the pink beach hat Ida bought at the mall for me.She also wore the same attire since we planned it.

The sun w was scorching but the wind was cool.Ida parked her car in the the parking lot of Sunset Beach and took a huge umbrella and two mats from her car booth.

I helped her with the umbrella and entered where the party was.

The party was in full blast and four connected poles were holding designs of the party together.The pink purple and green ballons made the party look lively.

A huge decorated stage stood in front of coast and Ida and I decided to take a spot near the coast but a little far from the stage.The coconut trees and the music made the party more like we were in Hawaii and the flowers jewellery the guests wore made it more lively.

It was hard getting through the crowd of crazy dancing students with two mats.

I tried as much as I could to avoid hitting the students with the mats and anytime I hit them,they would say something mean or roll their eyes at me.

I took the umbrella from Ida  and lifted the it above my head and with a lot if strength pierced it into the soft white sand.I opened it and laid the two mats on the sand.

We both laid on each. I put my arms under my neck and crossed my legs.I stared into the sea blue sky as I enjoyed the warmth of heat from my mat.

"I like it here"Ida  told me.

"Somewhere far away from the party"I told her too.

Ida and I went to the bar to get some juice.

We sat on the long wooden chairs.

"Hey pretties"A man with white hair and rotten teeth greeted us.

"Hey"Ida said "I'd like some coconut milk and my friend here would like some........"

"Sunset juice" I told the man.

"Ok pretty ladies"

I watched as he mixed different shades of drinks in the tall slim glass to create the look of a sunset.He placed a long curved straw and an a small paper umbrella in it before pushing it in front of me.

"Thanks"

He cracked some island coconuts and took out the food,grinded it in a blender and poured the slushy liquid in a sieve.He dissolved the juice from the chuff,poured it in a tall glass and put a curved straw in it before giving it to Ida.

"How much"I asked as put my fingers in the little pocket of my knickers.

"I'll pay"Ida insisted

"For ladies like you,I do for free"

"Thank you"

"No prob"

He sat down in a rocking chair and closed his eyes.

He rocked the chair back and forth,humming to  himself.

After we had our refreshing  drinks,we went to the main party since Ida said that we should.

Students danced around,others laid on the white hot sand,some were drinking to represent their teams.

"Every one gather around"Hailey was standing on the stage.

Everyone moved under the shade.

"I want  thank you all for coming to party eventhough it was postponed.We have a performance by a band please let's enjoy"

She stepped down and fog covered the stage.When all was clear,I could see the band members standing behind a musical instrument.They were all girls wearing dark blue jackets,jeans and a white top.

"We are called the Girlz band and we are here to play for Ms Hailey Asgot.Let's give a round of applause for her"The lead singer said with an eletrical guitar around her neck.

The students began to clap.

"Are you ready for some music"She shouted on top her voice.

"Yes"The crowed chorused.

The lead singer struck her guitar and the other members began to sing and play their instruments .

Everyone was dancing and Ida and I also danced.

Andre's POV

Once I got out of my car Hailey pounced on me with a huge hug.I starggered but didn't fall.

She tightened the hold of her arms around my neck.

I pulled away.

"Hey.How are you"I said as I planted a kiss on her cheek.

"Fine"she answered ."You've been ignoring my calls,texts and have been avoiding me at school"She added as she held her waist.

I raked my hands through my brown hair and scratch.I had to make up an excuse.

"Family issues"I lied.

"What happened to you"Her face sparked up with concern as she placed her soft palms on my cheeks.

"I had serious headaches and I got school sick"I lied.

"Ok"She said simply."lets go"

She pulled my arms.

"Wait.I have to lock my car"

I locked my car and put my arm around her waist.

Hailey was wearing a yellow bikini but a scarf was tied around her waist.Her hair was plaited into a single braid and was thrown on her shoulders.She was wearing a crown made of yellow flowers,yellow bracelet and chain and a pair of yellow flip-flops.

She dragged me to where the party was and told me to dance.

I placed my arms around her waist and she placed her arms atound my neck.She stared into my green eyes and she was smiling.I faked a smile.

I looked around and saw Dennis and the other boys drinking beer.

"Hailey I have to go.I'll be drinking with the boys."

"Wait but you just got here"

I ignored her answer and removed her arms from my neck and walked away from the crowd to where the guys where drinking.

"Hey" I shook Xander, one of my team players hand in a manly way and hit our chest together.

I grabbed a beer from the rocks of ice in the ice chest and opened it with a counter.I gulped down the liquid and leaned on the table.

"Hey dude"Dennis began"why did you leave your girl like that"He asked as her pointed at Hailey who was standing there with her arms around her neck and a sad expression on her face.She stood there until her besties walked over to her.

"Her besties have gone to her"I told Dennis.

He took a sip of his drink and looked in Haileys direction.

"You don't care about her.Do you?"Dennis asked.

I looked at him and answered

"I have told her that there's nothing between us but she wouldn't stop following me"

"So you don't care about her?Is that right?"

I gulped down the rest of my beer but I didn't answer his question.

"I'm going to the pub right there.I think it's a pub it doesn't matter who's going"Pablo asked us.

We all agreed to go but when we went there it wasn't a pub like we thought it was so we returned back to our previous location and ordered more beer.

I took a bottle of beer and moved somewhere far way from the guys.

I drank half of my beer and a girl walked to me.

"Hey"She said in a sweet voice and smiled at me.

"Hey pretty"I said.

She brushed the lock of hair that had fallen on my face behind my ear with her finger.

"Wanna dance"She asked.

She was fucking beautiful-her blonde hair was released freely on her shoulders and her brown eyes stared into mine.

"No"I answered.

She placed her hand on my chest.

She moved her hand around my chest and then up to my face.

She stared at my lips and in my eyes.

She placed her other arm around my neck and planted a kiss on my mouth.

I left the beer on the sand and grabbed her waist.I kissed her back,my hand running through her hair and kissing her hardly.

"Andre!Andre!"Hailey's angry voice interrupted our kiss.

Hailey was standing beside me.Her eyes were burning with anger and tears were running down her cheeks.

"Is this why you've been ignoring me"She asked as she shifted her gaze to the girl I was kissing.

"J?"

"Wait you know her"I was getting confused

"I know her she's my cousin"

"I'm sorry but I didn't know he was your boyfriend"J apologied

"So she's the one.Huh?"She asked

"No no.I just met her here"

"You're lying.You're lying.You've always been lying to me.How could you?I was always by your side and this is how you repay me,by cheating on me"

"Darn it Hailey.I've already told you I wasn't cheating on you I just met her here" I tried to explain to her.

"I don't- I don't -I don't trust you anymore"she retorted.

"Hailey please trust me" I walked to her and took her face in hand.

She looked at me.I could see in her eyes that she wanted to forgive me but no,she didn't.Instead she took my hand from her face forcely and slapped me, so hard the pain filled my face and almost gave me a headache.She curled her hands into balls and began hitting my chest and chanted"I hate you.I hate you.I hate you"

She ran away from me.
