The Bad Girl's Secrets

Chapter 2 - Party Till You Know Me

It has been three days since I came to my dad’s house. Mum left yesterday after helping me and Tobey get started on painting my new room. They had painted it bright pink thinking I was a girly girl. Do I look like a girly girl to you people? I had finished painting my room a few hours ago. Which was now pale blue with dark patterns on it, I even had glow in the dark stars on the ceiling. Every time dad, Beth or creepy boy Luke asked to help I would start throwing stuff at them, and let me tell you I have a lot of heavy stuff to throw.

“There’s a party going on tonight you want to come,” Tobey asked sitting on the tree outside my bedroom window as I sat on the window seat watching him. Turns out Tobey and I are now neighbours; he lived next door to my dad for some time and never spoken a word to him till now.

“What time does it start” I jumped off my window seat after I pushed my window open wider for Tobey get in. Started going through my clothes to see what I could wear.

“It starts at 9 but I want to get there for half 9. And if you are wondering it is now 8” I looked him up and down to notice he was ready. He was wearing a short sleeved button up shirt with dark blue jeans and black high tops.

“I’m going to head into the shower. You stay there and don’t move from that spot” I pointed to bed; he jumped on it and laid there with his arms behind his head as he stared me before closing his eyes. I just shrugged and placing my things on the dresser walked off to the bathroom turning on the shower I dropped my towel on the rack and stripped out of my clothes. I waited till steam was coming out before I stepped in and let the water wash away the paint off my body. I quickly scrubbed through my hair before washing it out. I let the water beat down on me for a while till I thought I had enough and stepped out the shower grabbing my towel and wrapping it around my body walking up the mirror. I wiped the fog off it and started to blow drying my hair I was almost done. When looked up and let out a scream as I jumped a turned around to face a creepy looking Beth.

“What the hell is your problem Bethany” I snapped switching off the blow dryer and started doing hand gestures “You shouldn’t be sneaking up on people, worst of all me. Trust me you do not want to get a nose job if broke you nose they never come out right”

“I’m so sorry Isabella I heard the shower running and thought Luke was in and then I saw you wiping the mirror and I was calling your name but it was like you couldn’t hear me. When you screamed” she rambled When Luke bust through the door and Tobey walked in behind him.

“See I told you there was nothing to worry about” Tobey grinned when he saw me in a towel “Never sneak up Bella, it never ends well for anyone, trust me I’m speaking from experience. You’re just lucky.”

“Why the hell is everyone still in here” I snapped grabbing my clothes off the floor.

“I heard screaming so I came to see what it was when I bumped into this guy. Does anyone know who he is by the way out” Luke whispered the last as if Tobey wasn’t there

“You know what I think I might use my own bathroom next time.” I pushed passed everyone grabbing Tobey by the ear on the way and dragging him with me to my room down the hall.

“OW, OW, OWWWW. Okay, I understand I shouldn’t have left your roOWWW. Please let go your hurting my ear Bella” Tobey yelled all the way to my room. I pushed him into the closet and flicked the lock so he couldn’t get out while I got dress. I quickly moisturise my skin then slipped into my underwear and a black glittery bra. I pulled on my dark grey skinny jeans with a short sleeved, of the shoulder see-through black loose top. I opened my closet and Tobey fell out with one of my lace black bras on his head.

“Were you going through my underwear draws?” I asked with a confused look on my face. Just like that he quickly took the bra off his head and stood to throw the bra back in my closet in the process.

“What! No of course not. Now hurry up and finish getting ready its 9’o clock I want to go in 15 minutes.” He pushed me to my dresser sitting me down in front of it.

“Okay bossy” I started to do my makeup which was the same usual dark smoky eyes with little eyeliner and mascara since my eyelashes were already thick and full. I added dark red lip gloss for an effect; I brushed through my hair with a hot brush to give it bits of curls here and there. I grabbed my silver stilettos and slipped them before taking my small size bag from Tobey putting some money, my phone and keys inside in it along with my small dagger.

Yes, I own a small dagger; I actually own a lot of weapons that no one knows about.

“Go back out the window and I will meet you in the car” He nodded slipping back out the window. As I made my way down stair throwing my bag over my shoulder so the strap rested across my chest. I put my leather jacket on and made my way into the living the room to see everyone else in the living room watching telly. They all looked up when they heard my heel click on the ground towards them.

“And where do you think you’re going,” Father asked standing and crossing his arms in front of him while looking me up and down.

“Where am I not going” I retorted back to him before noticing something I didn’t earlier “Where’s the Luke boy gone”

“Out”

“Well, then I’m going to hang out with Tobey” I turned on my heel about to walk out when he grabbed my arm and jerked me back.

“Just hold on a minute”

“Let me go” I whispered.

“What”

“LET ME GO. DON’T TOUCH ME” I yelled pushing him back away from me. His gripped slipped from my arm and he stumbled back in shock. I blew my hair out my face and took a deep breath “You don’t get to touch me; you have no right” I said my calmly taking a step back before turning away.

“I’m your father young lady. What I say goes” he snapped after me I stopped in the door and looked over my shoulder at him and then at Bethany who sat quietly watching this whole thing play out before. Then I turned back to dad one last time before I spoke the words that could possibly kill him

“Did you tell that to Annabella as well? Did you treat Annabella any different to the way you’re treating me now like back then” I meet his eyes and watched the colour and blood drain from his face in a blink of an eye? I turned away.

“I didn’t think so” I mumbled walking to Tobey’s car which was parked outside my new home. I hopped into the passenger seat and slammed the door.

“You ready,” he asked starting up the car

“Yeah” I breathed and of we went to the party

When we got there the party was already in full swing. People were passed on the lawn, girls running around topless and braless. Everyone was making out anywhere and everywhere, I took my jacket off and left it in the car as I made my way to the house with Tobey. Entering the house the music was much louder, people moved and bumping against each other as they danced.

“I’m going to get a drink; do you want anything” Tobey yelled over the music as best as he could.

I nodded asking for a can of coke. When one of my favourite songs came on Neon Jungle – Braveheart, made my way to the dance floor. While feeling eyes on me from everywhere, once on the dance floor I turned and started moving to the beat of the song. I moved my arms then began to sway my hips. I lifted my head up to see Luke watching me but I just smirked and winked at him before circling my hips as I turned away from him. Not long after I felt someone behind me so I pushed myself against them swaying my hips, they grabbed my hips from behind and ran them across to my sides. As we danced to the beat of the, their hands roamed my body. Once the song was finished I was span around and crash into someone’s chest. I looked to see a boy holding me. A light dusted tan with thick dark brown hair that swept across his forehead and stops just pasted his ears, pale pink lips that had a lip ring in it and deep stormy blue eyes. He held me tight to his chest as I gripped his arms.

“Are you new here because I’ve never seen you here before?” He asked I leaned up and moved my lips by his ear.

“I don’t know am I new here.” I bite his ear and pulled it with my teeth. “Or maybe I’m just coming back. See you around” I had managed to slip out of his grip and danced away into the cowered before he had time to process what just happened. I pushed my way through everyone till I came out in the kitchen where there were fewer people making it easier to spot Tobey with my drink.

“What happened to ‘do you want me to get you a drink’” I slapped him upside the head.

“Sorry, I got your drink but when I turn around you were gone. Like always Bella you can only be found when you want to be found.” He mused handing my drink. It was true what he said when I wanted to be alone I could with the click of my fingers. And could only be found when I wanted to be found. It’s how it has been for a long time, I could be standing right next to and you wouldn’t even realise it till I make myself known to you.

“Who’s the chick,” A random guy with a beer in his hand asked, he had pale skin with a short dirty blonde that looked light brown and pale blue highlights. He had dark blue eyes that stared me down as he took a gulp of his beer.

“This chick is standing right here little fucker” I snapped glaring at him from where I stood.

“Hey Bella you know the rules” Tobey warned me

I held up my hands as a sign of pace. “No starting or causing fights at a house party for the safety of everyone in the house or for the little b***h” –I gave a pointed look towards the blonde guy- “that can’t handle it. And I wasn’t about to start a fight on my first night out here.” I mumbled gulping down my drink quickly to feel the burning fizziness of my coke slide down my throat.

“Anyway back to my main question, who are you,” he asked rubbing the back of his neck.

“Don’t you remember her?” Tobey asked looking at him with the are-you-serious look.

“Should I” he looked between Tobey and me

“Isabella Winters” his eyes widen and he spat his drink out all over the girl next to him. A high-pitched scream went through the kitchen but we all ignore it. He wiped his mouth with his other hand.

“No freaking way, Isabella when the hell did you come back and why” he yelled surprised.

“A few nights ago and it was this guy’s fault” I jabbed a finger at Tobey who stood next to me leaning against the counter.

“How many times do I have to say I’m sorry?” he made it sound like a f*****g question

“Till I’m no longer near my f****d-up father” I snapped crossing my arm over my chest, turned to look at the blonde guy to see him staring at my chest.

“Hey dipshit, my face is up here” I yelled throwing my empty can at him; he snapped out of it and looked up to my face.

“The names Todd sorry, I don't swing that way remember. Urm.... how did you get her mum to kick her out” He asked a blush lightly dusted his cheek?

“He burned half my school down” I shrugged

“For the last who the f**k carries gasoline with them in a water bottle” Tobey threw his hands up in the air. Todd’s eyes widen again and he spat his drink out next to him again. On the same girl, again, but this time instead of screaming she slapped him hard across the face. Leaving a dark, bright red hand print on his cheek, me and Tobey looked at each before we bust out laughing. For the rest of the night we joked about old times and had fun, shockingly for once I never got drunk. Dancing and partying the night away.

When Tobey and I got home, we both went through my window so we didn’t wake anyone. That night as I went to sleep I dreamed about nothing but the boy with the stormy blue eyes that I danced with.
