Should have just slept

I was now standing beside Isabella, in front of the two pretentious looking “besties” that approached Isabella a while ago. “Can you please repeat what you said just now?” They both started looking at each other and lowered their gaze. “Ooh yeah nothing much…we were checking up on Isabella. It’s been a while, we missed her a lot!” Lying straight to my face, are we now? How did they not realize that anyone could hear what they were saying like Ariana Grande’s scream from a mile away?

I did not want to look at Isabella right now. It felt like she was going to gouge their eyes out any second with that gaze.” I- yes and…. And we were also wondering if you…. If you were dating Isabella.” Yep, I would tell the truth too if I was facing someone like Isabella. They went from laughing their hearts out to feeling embarrassed in front of me in a jiffy. “Oh? No, that’s not the case don’t worry. Do you mind me sitting with Isabella though?” I had to drop a bomb when Isabella had given the go.
