8. ACQUAINTANCE

The worst kind of hurt is betrayal, because it means someone was willing to hurt you just to make themselves feel better.

As I stood there on the roof, where I had confessed my feelings to him, I just sat there looking at the sky and crying and shouting. I felt broken...that's all I felt, and I just ran away from my school, like the crazy, impulsive person I am.

My world felt as if it had crumbled down, to so many pieces that I won't be able to collect them all. I take a deep breath, and take out my water bottle and wash my face, drink the remaining water. I fixed my make up back, and run my fingers through my hair to fix it. I walked downstairs, and decided to go to Alex's house.

As soon as she opened the door, she pulled me into a hug.

"Why are you not ready yet?" I asked her.

"What do you mean? Ready for what exactly, Hannah?" She asked, looking at me as if I have lost a screw or something.

"Hello? The club, duh." I said.

"Are you sure? Don't people usually eat ice-cream and watch sad rom-coms after their break-up?" She asked.

"Well, I am not the usual people type you know. And why the hell for him, should I eat ice-cream and become all depressed, and become sad? Just because he had fucked another girl, not worth it. Let's party and enjoy my birthday." I said.

"Wow...you should be on Ted talk." Alex said, as she takes me to her huge bedroom.

We went walked to her huge bedroom, and she took out all the dresses, very sparkly and revealing at the same time. She played the Blackpink songs loudly in the background, and while dancing to the beats we decided to start getting ready.

I had forgotten my clothes at home, so Alex decided to let me borrow some of her clothes.

She threw a skinny black leather pant at me, and said, "Your butt will look great in that. You have the sexy butt that every girl would die for."

I chuckled and said, "I cannot believe you just said that."

"Well, it's the truth honey." She said, as she threw a metal silver color sleeveless top at me.

I tie my hair up in my bun, and Alex snatched the make-up box from me.

"What?" I asked.

"I am sorry to say this but your make up taste is too simple for the place we are going. Just let me do the magic." She said.

She did my make-up while I just patiently sat there. Then she motioned to look at myself in the mirror, and I walked over to the mirror, my eyes looked smookey and it made me look really different than my usual look.

I went and quickly changed, then I stepped out, to see that Alex was wearing a short red dress, which hugged her curves perfectly. She had tied her hair in a ponytail. She asked me to open my hair and she gave them a curly twist.

"Let's go, birthday girl, just so you know, I am going to have a one night stand." She gave me her driver's number just in case If I wished to go home early.

We reached the huge club, there was a big line. As we stepped out of the limousine, every eye turned to look at us, we showed the passes to the door keepers and they welcomed us with warm smile. We stepped inside and immediately welcomed by the lights, people dancing, making out, the smell was really strong full of sweat, perfume and alcohol.

Alex pulled me into the dance floor and we started dancing, and singing the lyrics out of Electric love.

After dancing for a few minutes I decided to get some cold water, I walked towards the bar and sat on their chair, then I turned to look at Alex who was dancing with a cute boy, who already seemed to be jumping high with excitement.

"Can I have a martini please?" A husky voice said.

I turned to look at him and he was already looking at me, with a smile.

"Your eyes are really familiar..." He said.

I chuckled, and said, "Does that line work on every girl?".

He was good-looking with green eyes and brown hair. He seemed older, probably near twenty-nine.

"My apologies, I am Enzo, you?" He asked extending his hand.

"Hannah, and apology accepted." I said, shaking his hand.

It was warm and soft.

"You are quite a dancer." He said.

"That bad, huh?" I asked.

"No that's not what I meant, Hannah." He said with a small smile.

"Do you workout?" I ask, looking at his well-built body.

"Yes, I do." He said.

"How are you really?" I asked.

"Fine," He said, looking away and taking a sip of his martini.

"You are a terrible liar, Enzo." I said.

"I don't think I can explain something what's going on in my mind, when I myself don't understand it." He said, his eyes far away.

"Love, huh? Let me tell you something, if you really love that person, learn to wait. Maybe you're not meant to be together today but meant to be together tomorrow, or some day in the future."

He just looked at me, in my eyes, in silence.

"What?" I asked.

"I am just wondering how lucky your boyfriend is, you have depth." He said.

His remark made me blush, and then I said, "Depth wasn't he was looking for apparently. I broke up with him today, he slept with another girl."

"I am sorry." He said.

"For someone who just met, you apologize a lot." I pointed out.

"I guess I have a lot to apologize for." He said.

"Not to me." I said.

"Why are you? When you entered this place, you had the expression of a girl who has entered a horror house." He said.

I chuckled and said, "It's my birthday today."

"Oh wow...happy birthday." He said. "How old did you turn?"

"Eighteen, and thanks." I said.

"Wanna escape from this place?" He asked, with s smile, that gave me butterflies.

"What do you have in mind?" I asked.
