With pleasure!

It was Monday afternoon and i felt like time was moving really slowly. I picked up my lunch and headed to sit at the nearest bench. I was having my second bite on my chicken wing when suddenly a group of girls sat down uninvited.

"Sup girlll! we thought you'd be lonely since Nina is not around so we joined you, hope you dont mind!" Lisa said with her signature sweet smile .

As much as i really wished to be alone,i didn't want to seem rude.

" I don't!" I replied with a smile then resumed having my lunch.

"Its such a pity that one of the Michael's prince had such bad luck , I pity Nina ! " one of Lisa's squad girls said with such an irritating tone from her nose, she stressed her words way too much.

"Yea !" i replied plainly.

Bella sat quietly concentrating on her plate while occasionally staring at Ivory while Lisa was constantly engaging Ivory in small talks with the rest of the girls chipping in.

"I hope you wont mind hanging out with us , we wouldn't want you to get bored because of Ninas absence !" said Lisa while taking a final sip on her glass of milk.

" Sure thing , I'll get going know, see you guys around, " replied ivory while getting ready to leave the table.

Suddenly, Lisa embraced her and pecked her on the cheeks . Ivory was flustered by her action but she remained calm.

" See you !" she then said with a smile and Ivory left .

" How long till plan B ," Bella said plainly looking at Lisa whose was smiling earlier ago turned into distate .

" Leonel is hosting a house warming party at his new villa in a weeks time, make it quick!" she replied looking into space with a blank expression and authority.

" With pleasure ," Bella smirked while rubbing her palms together.

Ivory headed to Mrs. Mars office for their rescheduled meeting. They had a hearty talk about alot of things academics and lifeskills.

" And yes , always remember am here for you, no matter what! " Mrs. Mars added while walking Ivory to the door.

"Always!" she said then they hugged , Ivory left for her next class soon afterwards feeling better.

"Its confirmed dad, it wasn't just a mere accident. Someone is behind this!" Adam said looking really pissed while clenching his fists tightly until they turned white.

" You know what to do!" Mr. Michael's replied with a low but stern tone looking calm unlike his raging son.

" With pleasure paps! i really want to know the asshole who dared to touch a Michael," Arnold said while leaning back on a huge dark leather couch with his long legs crossed and his head tilted to the side . One couldn't tell his exact facial expression due to the darkness inside the room with only the study lamp on the huge desk lighting up the room dimly.

Raymond just stood quietly leaning on the wall lazily next to the window while taking a sip from his favourite red wine looking at the starless sky.

Days went by and Lisa seemed to be getting closer to Ivory. She would always pop up along with Bella everwhere she went. She didn't seem to mind it and was somehow grateful that Lisa lessened her boredom whenever she was not studying.

They were chatting at the fountain just after class getting a breather from their History class. Bella was leaning on the fountain looking rather bored . She was one that never cared and chipped in when Lisa asked a question. Lisa continued pretending to enjoy the conversation while constantly slightly hitting or pushing Ivory whenever they laughed.

Bella sneakily unfastened the straps of her wrist watch. With the constant pushes from Lisa , Ivory lost her balance and tripped backwards falling against Bella who intentionally let her self fall in the fountain behind her.

Ivory was shocked and from impulse she immediately turned and held Bellas other wrist before she submerged wholly in the water.

Lisa pretended to be shook and frozen while smiling triumphantly.

She pulled her over, thankfully she did not get drenched but her watch successfully fell in .

Bella took the opportunity to teach her a little lesson.

" You!" she growled in anger .

" Ohh my God...am so sorry , i didn't mean to , i ...i tripped .." Ivory tried explaining herself.

" ...ohhh...so your saying its my fault for being your airbag!" she questioned in high pitch with a raised brow.

" No , no , no!...i ..," Ivory tried to explain when Bella cut her short .

" Wait...hold on , my watch! ....my freaking watch..no ! noooo! " she started yelling.

"What watch?" Ivory asked perplexed.

"Uhhhhhhhhh! that was my mums!!!" she yelled again now drawing attention from a couple of students who were nearby.

Lisa then chipped in holding the furious Bella.

" Am sorry Bella , it was my fault , if i didn't push her this wouldn't have happened!" she said while faking tears .

" That was important you know...Lisaaaaaaa!" she replied in anger then left furiously.

" Bella...Bells...wait ! hold on!...I'll go talk to her Ivory . Am so sorry," she said then ran after Bella.

Ivory stood on the spot really shoked . She did not see that coming at all. She pulled herself together and headed to her dormitory to sink things.

"hahaha! Your a natural Bells, i almost bought that you know!" Lisa said while laughing her lungs out crouching on the floor.

Bella just took more puffs of weed and blew smoke into the air as if nothing happened.

" Make it dark , slow and painfull. And yes , a living nightmare!" Bella said with a half smile .

Lisa sat up with an evil grin on her face .

" With pleasure!" she replied then took the cigarette from Bella and took a long drag .

Days passed and Bella avoided Ivory like a plague or rather gave her a cold shoulder despite her many attemps to make amense . Lisa just pretended to help her out with no success.

I felt really guilty for being the reason for Bella to lose her special watch. From what Lisa told me , it was a gift from her mum before she passed away. It haunted me and despite trying countless times to speak and apologies to her , she wouldn't even give me an audience.

While Ivory was deep in thought at the garden under a tree. Both Lisa and Bella showed up. She had decided to keep away from the fountain area because of what happened .

"Mhhmmh!" Bella cleared her throat stopping Ivory in her train of thought.

" Ohhh Bella ...Lisa...Hi!" she said while standing up fast.

" Hi girl, i managed to get her to talk to you , i hope you guys will straighten out your differences. " Lisa replied with a slight smile causing Ivory to light up real quick.

" For one , I dont think I'll ever forgive you, like EVER! ..." Bella stated absolutely causing Ivory to turn pale.

"Secondly, am only here to clear the bad blood , on one condition!" Bella continued looking intently at her.

" Okey sure, I'll do anything to make it upto , just state it," she answered with a blink of hope in her heart causing Lisa who was silently watching to smirk internaly.

" I will be attending an event tomorrow night and I need you to tag along!" Bella said straight forwadly without batting an eye.

" Huhhh! event..me ..." she asked looking confused.

" Yes You! ...Both Lisa and i are going so we need a plus one , i decided you to tag along because you wont embarrass me unlike the girls that Lisa tags a long with." she continued, looking so serious not giving her a room to object.

" Isn't it illegal to be out of school especially during the night?" she asked shoked.

" Its not a problem , for me that is. Further more, everything is set , we will be back as soon as we left." she stated as if she was saying the most basic mathematical formula.

" Hey Ivory , dont worry , we have permission to leave since tomorrow is Sunday and my dad personaly will pick us up...and Monday is also a public holiday so dont sweat it " Lisa suddenly said assuringly.

"Count it as a way of paying back and getting to my goodside again!" Bella said then left with Lisa following behind.

Nina headed out from Julians room to get some water when she suddenly tripped over nothing.
