Chapter 10
Renee’s POV
“And this-Is what I call awesome!” Theoden yelled as we made our way through the gyrating bodies on the dance floor. Everyone was in high spirits, each, dancing with a partner or two.
” So bad, Shane’s gonna miss this ” I muttered and chuckled lightly. Sadly, Shane still stood by his words and Layla decided to stay behind with him.
What kind of person doesn’t attend parties? Especially a Billionaire’s fucking son? I mean, he’s rich and fucking handsome. He should be showing off as expected of him but he’s just acting all cool. I still can’t believe that he has a problem with people swearing and cursing around.
” Yeah, he doesn’t even care about it. He believes it’s a waste of time so he’d rather spend the whole night reading whatever ”
I turned to look at him in amusement and scoffed “Seriously? Are we now talking about a bookworm?”
“Yeah, you can say that,” Theoden replied and I laughed. I looked around for a place to sit down but there was none. Gosh, my legs were hurting already.
” Stay here okay? I’ll go get drinks ”
After Theoden left, I sighed and pulled out my phone to message Nick. It wasn’t even up to a day but I missed him already. Parties like this would’ve been a lot more fun if he was here with me.
I turned on my phone and my mouth dropped. 23 fucking missed calls and 12 text messages? Gosh, I couldn’t believe it. Well, I guess I’m not the only one who’s missing somebody. I started reading the messages one after the other and when I was done, I sent a reply.
“Tbh, I miss you, Jerk. Here’s so boring and can you imagine that there’s this hot Billionaire’s son who’s just so cool? He doesn’t cuss and he doesn’t want anyone doing that. Whatever, like he has any right to tell me what to say and what not to”
I sent the reply and smiled sheepishly, waiting for his response. I knew he was gonna call Shane an insane person like he calls everyone else who thinks differently from him.
“Theo, yo, is that really you?” A guy yelled and turned to the rest of the boys who stood behind him, laughing “It’s really him, guys”
I turned to look at Theo who was just returning from getting us drinks. The boys went over to stand in front of him, snickering around. “What do you guys want?”
“Oh, don’t be scared, we’re not here to trouble you, at least, not today,” The guy in the middle said and got one of the glasses from him. He raised it in the air as if he was making a toast before gulping down all the content. “My bad, I was just thirsty”Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
He returned the empty glass to him and got the second glass from him. What the heck? Theoden just stood there without uttering a word.
“Where’s your sister? Was one of the drinks for her?” The guy asked again, gulping down the whole content from the second glass “Wow, that was cool, don’t you think, guys?”
The rest of the guys nodded and laughed raucously but still, Theo didn’t say a word. He didn’t even act like he was angry or something. When the guys finally left, he sighed and walked off to probably get another drink for us. The fuck, what just happened?
My phone beeped and I checked it out immediately. I smiled when I discovered that it was a reply from Nick. He must have gotten my message.
” He’s totally insane. There should be better psychiatric hospitals over there so he should be rushed to one. But wait. Is he more handsome than me? I bet not ”
I chuckled lightly and started typing but then, I noticed someone’s presence and looked up at once only to find the guy who had taken our drinks from Theoden a while ago. He looked handsome but not more than Shane.
“What do you want?” I asked begrudgingly as I tucked my phone into my trouser pocket.
“I came to have a chat with a beautiful girl but it turns out I’ve never seen her before” He replied and offered his hand for a handshake “I’m Derek”
I looked from his face to his hand and scoffed. Wasn’t he bullying Theoden a while ago with other guys? Now, he was here, looking all nice.
“Nice name Mr. I came to chat with a beautiful girl” I replied with a smirk and turned to walk off but then I heard people screaming. Everyone started running in the direction like they had been compelled. Okay, what the fuck is fucking happening?

Shane’s POV
” OMG, SHANE!!! ” Everyone yelled as I made my way into the party ground with Layla following beside me. We just arrived and taking a single step into the place, the whole atmosphere changed.
People were screaming like they saw a ghost while the rest fainted and it made me uncomfortable. These are the main reasons I hate attending parties. Soon enough, everyone crowded around and wanted to touch me, especially the girls.
I and Layla walked off hurriedly and I kept muttering “I’m sorry” to the people I bumped into. Finally, Theoden showed up and helped us out of the mess by asking the students to stay back cause I had a restraining order.
“Why the fuck would you say that?” I asked breathlessly and he chuckled.
“I had to say it so they’d let you pass, dude, you should be thanking me”
When I caught my breath, I looked around in search of the crazy girl, Renee. She’s supposed to be with Theoden so where was she? Besides, she’s the reason why I was here. I wanted her to see that I wasn’t the name she had called me.
“Where’s Renee?” Layla asked and I heaved, feeling grateful that she did. She didn’t want to come to the party but because I had changed my mind, she decided to join me.
” She… Um… ” Theoden paused and looked around. Seriously? Did he let her go crazy in the crowd? “She was over there. I told her to wait so I could get a drink for us”
“So where are the drinks?” Layla asked again but my mind wasn’t with them anymore as I kept looking around for Renee.
” Oh, there, there she is ” Theoden yelled and pointed at the other end. I turned to look and when I found her, I scoffed. Why was she with that guy? ” What??? Why is Derek with her? ”
“Isn’t it obvious? He got attracted to how she dressed, exposing her body” Layla replied curtly and folded her arms while Theo turned to glare at her. What’s with him and the girl anyway? Don’t tell me he likes her already.
“I’ll go get her”
“Seriously? And you think Derek’s gonna buy that?” I asked and scoffed. Who didn’t know Derek was the school’s bully? He made it his duty to always come after Theo and I. Especially me.
“I’ll get her,” Layla muttered and walked off while I turned to stare at Renee. Derek said something to her and she laughed which got me wondering what they were possibly talking about.
“Hey Dude, I’m surprised you’re here. Last I checked, you don’t attend parties. It’s like a red flag for you so what changed your mind? ”
“Nothing,” I answered dryly, not ready to go into the conversation.
“Is it because of Renee?” He asked and before I could give a response, Layla came over with Renee who looked rather surprised to see me. Now that she has seen me here, I guess I should leave.
” I’m leaving ”
“What?” Theoden scoffed “You just arrived”
“I just came to prove to her that I’m not the name she called me” I answered, trying so hard to avoid Renee’s gaze which only made me feel nervous.
“A pussy. That’s the name”
“Why are you still calling him that?”
Renne shrugged and folded her arms “I was just reminding him of the name. Seems like he had forgotten it within a short time”
