Fresher's party

.............
At Nataniel's mansion, the door was opened by a guard, and he walked in majestically, still with his mask and shades, he sat down on the golden couch before checking through the messages his father had been sending to him for a while now.
"You are getting betrothed to Charles Mirabel, after her graduation, in some months' time......." He read it inwardly, before scrolling the last messages.
"Dinner at 8 with the whole family". He read it inwardly again and scoffed.
"I don't remember having a family, just dad" he muttered, before looking up to Adam who was still panting. He must have suffered from the reporters' hand before escaping from their midst?
"The reporter almost killed me with various questions, my clothes were torn, I had to change in......." Adam was interrupted by Nataniel.
"Any information about Holland College?" Nataniel asked, ignoring Adam's story. His face tells him he cares less about everything, that he doesn't care about what Adam went through. He had never cared about anyone before, so it was not new to his staff, especially Adam.
Adam swallowed his spit before getting his phone to check an update about Holland college.
"There is going to be a fresher's party from 8" Adam said. "Fresher parties are always interesting, almost everyone loves to be there, including the seniors too. Why did you ask about the update though, are you interested in........" Adam was interupted again.
"Enough, get me a random dress in one hour" Nataniel said before leaving the sitting room, for his room.

Amor and her friends took her back to their hostel again. Presley and Catalina could be seen staring at Amor, showing her puppy faces just for her to accept to go with them to the party.
"OK fine, I am going to the party with you" Amor said and, both of them jumped up.
"Thank you best" Catalina said before hugging her on the bed.
"But the thing is just that I am scared. ........." Amor stopped before looking at them in the eyes.
"I'm going to stay with you throughout the party. There is nothing to worry about, OK?" Catalina said before pecking her cheeks. "I will go get the clothes ready," Catalina said before leaving the room.
Presley's phone vibrated, and she quickly checked her phone before biting her lips.
"You have been quiet. Is everything alright?" Amor asked.
"Oh..... it's.... nothing. I am going to check the clothes with Catalina ", Presley stammered, before leaving.
"It's so strange for her to keep quiet about what's going on with her," Amor said before grabbing her phone to call her mom. She called her for the third time but no one picked up.
"Working with the Holland is really hard, just study hard, so that you can make it OK?" She said to herself and nodded.
.................
Mirabel ran to her dad, after hearing the news that her husband was in America.
"Is it true Dad? " She asked as she ran in.
"Have I ever lied to you before? You know I will do anything for you right, just to make you happy", Mr Charles said.
"When are we getting married?" Mirabel asked.
"Immediately after your graduation", Mr Charles said.
"Okay Dad, I need to get prepared for the party tonight" Mirabel said before pecking her dad on the cheek. "My regards to mom" she said before leaving the mansion, Mr Charles stared at her as she left the mansion. She stopped in the front of her car after her phone vibrated.
"I have succeeded in begging her to come to the party. Send it to me, I will finish the job, just keep my identity safe" she read out the message she got before smirking.
"I'm glad you will be leaving for me."
"My only and only precious child, I will do anything just to make her happy" Mr Charles muttered with a smile.

At Holland college, the fresher's party hadn't started, and the hall was filled with different people, loud music that could make the ear disabled, but none of the students cared about it anyway, they just wanted to enjoy their life that night.
Nataniel entered the party. No one saw him though, because he entered secretly, and this time no mask, but he was with face cap.
He settled down somewhere far from the crowd that were dancing. He scoffed before checking the time.
"8 on dot, she should be here by now" he muttered, and just a minute after he said that, Mirabel and her friends entered the hall, more like a puppet though, screams filled everywhere and, as usual, they were hailed. Mirabel's dress was really expulsive, but she didn't care about that, she dressed to kill.
Nataniel looked up and saw Mirabel getting an alcoholic drink from one of the servers. He stared at the pictures on the phone and confirmed if it was actually the person he was asked to get married to in a couple of months.
"Definitely not my type, Richard can have her" he scoffed, before standing up, he collided with someone. Actually, it was Presley. She arrived with Amor and Catalina. Some minutes ago, she volunteered to get the drinks.
"Sorry about that" Nataniel said with his head down.
"Oh........it's nothing. … .here you have it" Presley said, but Nataniel rejected it at first.
"No, just accept it as party stuff ......you know" Presley said, and Nataniel gently took it from her. Presley smiled before leaving his sight.
Nataniel watched her leave his sight before sitting down, now focusing on just one person. Amor.
Presley stopped on track after checking the drink in his hand.
"What the hell?" She cursed silently, she had mistakenly exchanged the drugged drink meant for Amor for the unknown guy she had just met. She turned back, only to find Nataniel drinking from the cup, her mouth widened in shock.
"Presley! Presley!! Presley!!!" Catalina ran over to her. "What's taking you so long?"
"Sorry, I. .....had... to take care of something" Presley stammered.
"You have been stammering a lot these days. You got two drinks instead of three, what's going on with you" Catalina asked.
"I....." Presley was interrupted.
"Don't worry, I will go and get the last drink, just go and keep Amor's company before she decides to leave "Catalina said before leaving Presley. Presley looked around before getting another drug out and putting it in Amor's drink.
She walked over to their table. "Here have it". She said to Amor with her smile, Amor drank everything before facing the crowd. Presley smiled more after seeing Amor's cup empty, her eyes turned to Nataniel, his head was on the table now and he was acting weird. Presley turned to Amor too, and she was fanning herself too.
"Are you okay Amor?" Presley asked, acting concerned but feeling happy inwardly.
"Yes, I am fine" Amor said, trying to control the crazy urge in her. "Ohhhh" she muttered.
"Are you sure you are fine?" Presley asked again.
"I think I need to use the restroom" Amor said before leaving in a hurry. Presley looked at Nataniel's table, he was currently leaving too, going towards Amor's direction.
"I'm sorry, but I have to do this to protect myself" she muttered.
"Where is Amor?" Catalina said before joining her.
"She went to the restroom, let us dance before she got back," Presley said before running to the dancing floor.
"Why did everything seem so strange?" Catalina said before joining Presley.
