Brooklyn University Beauty contest (2)

Sophie was very famous and rich. She was the only female close to the feared Ethan Hale.

Apart from his friend and cousin, Sophie was also aware of his mysterious background as they were childhood friends and their parents were very close.

This made her very much respected and feared in the college. No one would dare to offend her, the students nor the lecturers as her background was too not simple.

Her family owned multibillion companies all over the country. She was rich, pampered and very beautiful.

Girls usually gave her envious gazes while boys usually looked at her adoringly with infatuated gazes but nevertheless, no one would dare to approach or hurt her.

Romors around the campus had it that she was secretly dating Ethan Hale. That they were just keeping a low profile to avoid too much attention. Their relationship and marriage were already approved by their parents.

Sophie unmaskingly loved Ethan so much, proving the authenticity of the romors. She even chose the same course as he did to be with him always. They were a match made in heaven as people would comment.

Hayley's face fell when she heard about her. If Sophie would join, then Jamie almost didn't have a chance.

Nevertheless,

" but you still got a chance. Who knows, maybe she might not even be interested this year. "

Jamie drew a deep breath and sighed.

" Look, I know what's at stake here but you can't just give up on your dreams just because of those fools. No one knows how important this is than yourself Zoey. "

Liam suddenly paused and narrowed his eyes at Zoey. He was cute and quite introverted but whenever he got serious his face was usually kinda scary making one to think twice when offending him. His serious face was dark with no sign of a smile or the usual blush on his white cheeks.

Zoey arched her brows at him and lightly chuckled.

" Do I look that stupid? Of course I'm not giving in to their demands. I'm not a fool. "

" Phew, thank God! I almost gave you a serious beating. "

Ria breathed in relief.

She was glad her friend wasn't going to allow those greedy wolves to take advantage of her again.

" Besides this year is very crucial, you can't afford to miss.

Your idol miss Sydney Lloyd is sponsoring the event and she's gonna be a judge too.

The winners both male and female get to be brand ambassadors for her clothing company's latest creations!

Zoey, if that happens then you get to stop depending on those bastards. You'll be rich and famous! "

Ria finished almost in a shrill. She was shaking Zoey's shoulders so hard that she almost felt dizzy.

Zoey's eyes widened at the mention of her greatest idol.

She loved fashion so much and dreamed of one day becoming a famous clothes designer in the country, if that was possible...

She was too a runway model and had bagged several awards until her parents and brother's demise, when she lost all hope in life.

Miss Sydney Lloyd, a very famous designer in her early forties was her inspiration. She was very beautiful and talented.

Her clothing brand, Sydney Creations, was very popular in the country and abroad among the filthy rich and glamorous celebrities. Everyone would die to own one of her limited collections.

Zoey bounced up and down. If she won, she'd meet her idol. She held her breath clenching her fists both nervous and excited in anticipation.

Heavens knew how much she really wanted it. Nothing would stop her from achieving her goals even if it meant for a short period of time. She'd be more than contented.

A familiar weird ringtone suddenly broke her wild thoughts.

Glancing at the caller's ID her eyes lit up and her smile widened.

Seeing the huge smile, Ria peeked at her phone. She rolled her eyes afterwards.

Few minutes later.

" Your boyfriend, is that him? "

Zoey brightly nodded at Ria. There was an unmistakable twinkle in her jade green eyes.

" Yeah it's him, he's finally coming back this weekend. He said he's dying to meet me. "

Zoey bashfully giggled earning snorts from her friends.

" Who on earth leaves for a whole month without calling, texting or picking his girlfriend's calls? "

Zoey shrugged her shoulders, " you don't know, maybe something happened. Come on Serena, you just love finding fault in him everyday. "

" Of course! I wouldn't pretend that I like him. Because unlike you, I'm not blinded by love. "

" Enough, he's my boyfriend and I love him. You're not allowed to speak awfully about him. I'll one day prove to you that he's not what you think about him. He's a great person. "

Ria scoffed, " whatever. Just ensure you don't come crying to me one day when his true colors are finally unveiled for the whole world to see. Because I'll remind you of this day. "

Finishing, she rolled her eyes disdainfully.

She had never loved that guy and was sure that something bad was cooking within him from his suspicious vibes.

" I still prefer the school hunk. Come to think of it, I still can't believe that he was that pervert.

Who said he never flirts or gets close to females, if I never saw the evil smirk on his face when he possessively held your waist the other day, I still wouldn't believe it. All men are the same, can never resist a beauty... hahaha... "

Zoey's mouth fell open at Ria's outrageous words.

" Shut your mouth!! "

She shouted throwing daggers at her.

" What, I'm I not telling the truth? Besides in the bathroom, did you see... you know... Is it h-huge? "

" Gosh Serena!! Can't you filter your mouth?! "

Zoey blushed hard when images of that particular embarrassing scene assaulted her mind.

She covered her burning ashen cheeks but the redness on the tips of her ears was still visible. She felt like strangling Ria for bringing up those shameful things.

" Don't ever bring this up again. The truth is that I'm not sure about what I saw, only the zip on his pants was open."

" Goodness Zoeyyyyy... Why are you always such a disappointment? How could you miss such a thing... "

Liam who had been all silent loudly face palmed in frustration.

" Jeez, can we talk about other things? And stop dragging your feet, I'm hungry! "

He snapped at them and walked off leaving them behind.

The two girls exchanged glances and loudly giggled. They didn't miss the flush that crept up his white neck. Hah, what an innocent shy boy...
