BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1668 - Corey's Prom (3)
In the restroom…
Merve completed her business and was washing her hands happily. She does not remember the last time when a feeling of an empty bladder brought her this much joy.
"Miss White?" Girl\'s voice came from the side.
Merve froze. Is this how it starts? Is this the bullying she saw in movies? Merve told herself not to jump into conclusions. Why would anyone bully her? She barely spoke with anyone other than Corey.
Merve glanced to the side and saw two girls looking her way. She could not tell if they are friendly or not because their expressions under the heavy makeup were unreadable.
"And you are?" Merve asked.
"I am Cassie Burke, and this is Samantha Long." The shorter one of the two responded for both.
Merve never heard of the Burke family, but the Long surname is definitely familiar. Is she related to Steve? Considering the status of the Long family and the reputation of Corey\'s school, that is highly likely.
Merve can see that the one who is talking is Cassie, so she must be the dominant one between the two.
"Is there a reason you are waiting for me in the restroom?" Merve asked.
Cassie smiled. "There is no need to be wary of us. We only wanted to introduce ourselves. The event hall is crowded and when we saw you coming here, we thought this is a good chance to talk without being disturbed."
Merve tilted her head slightly while her eyes darted from Cassie to Samantha. "Hallway might be better."
"True." Cassie admitted. "So… You can Corey, a?"
"If you are asking if we are dating, the answer is \'yes\'." Merve said stiffly, unsure what to think of this as a topic. Why is Cassie talking to her in such a friendly way? That is definitely not normal.
"For how long? How did you meet? How did you start dating? Who made the first move? How far did you go? A boy like Corey must have some good techniques…"
Cassie spoke rapidly and Merve opened her mouth in disbelief. These are obviously too personal! Is Cassie actually expecting Merve to answer?
Samantha rolled her eyes and looked at Cassie with contempt. "Shut up."
Cassie pressed her lips into a line. "I was only curious."
"Everyone knows you have a crush on Corey, and you have the nerve to come and ask his girlfriend for tips on how to get close to him." Samantha said bluntly.
Cassie felt wronged. "Half of the class has a crush on Corey. It\'s not like you would reject if young Mr. Smith comes and asks you out on a date."
Samantha\'s face darkened. "No matter how appealing the last name Smith is, I would never lower myself for it."
Cassie rolled her eyes and Merve understood that there is more to it than they are revealing to her. But no matter what those two are plotting, Merve trusts Corey.
Merve observed two girls in front of her in silence. She had to acknowledge that her first impression was wrong because the dominant one is Samantha. Cassie is bubbly and friendly, and Samantha is grumpy and unpleasant, but between the two, Merve somehow prefers the grumpy one. But this is a case where she does not need to choose one, because she dislikes both of them and there is no need to pick the better one out of two bad choices.
What were they thinking by approaching her in the restroom like this? Merve does not want to know.
Merve moved toward the door, when Samantha\'s stern voice called: "Where are you going?"
Merve glanced at the duo. Did Samantha raise her voice at her? "Out."
Samantha frowned. "I didn\'t say that you can leave."
Merve stifled a laugh. If a girl like Samantha thinks that she can command Merve what to do, she has a surprise coming her way. Sarah told Merve not to allow anyone to bully her, and that is exactly what Merve will do.
Merve narrowed her eyes at Samantha. "You have no power to keep me here. I have nothing to say to you and I\'m not interested to hear your rubbish so… Bye."
"Is this how Miss White behaves?" Cassie asked mockingly.
Merve paused at Cassie\'s question. "Miss White? Since you brought up my family, you should know how people who offend us end."
Samantha snorted. "You are hiding behind your family\'s name. I wonder if young Mr. Smith would be interested in you if you are not Miss White."
"And I wonder if you would be talking to me if I\'m not Miss White. Look at you, proud and domineering, yet afraid to admit that you are here to bully me in the secrecy of the restroom where others can\'t see and act as witnesses. Let me tell you what you can do... You can drown in your jealousy while I go and enjoy myself with young Mr. Smith. Even if he is with me only because of my family, that does not change the fact that he is showering me with affection while you can only watch from the side."
Merve lifted her chin proudly and walked out. She was quite pleased with herself.
Based on Samantha\'s and Cassie\'s outraged expressions, Merve knew that this is not over and that this was only the first round. But Merve will take this small victory as a boost of her confidence and wait to see what else they can come up with. She is ready.
"Bitch!" Cassie squeezed through her teeth.
Samantha exhaled loudly. "Don\'t lose your temper. We can\'t afford that."
"Should we leave her like this?"
"Of course, not. But we can\'t attack openly either. We will wait for an opportunity to strike back. That Miss White needs to learn her lesson."
Cassie nodded in agreement and walked out of the restroom with Samantha.
What Merve and other two girls didn\'t know was that one of the restroom stalls was not empty. Anabella Rain was sitting inside and listening to the exchange with glee. Proud Miss Long and Miss Burke got face slapped by Miss White. This is epic!
…
"One more minute and I would come to look for you." Corey told Merve when she joined him.
Merve smiled. "Thank you for worrying about me."
"That is what boyfriends do." Corey said smugly, relieved that Merve is by his side. He noticed that she is tense. "Is everything OK?"
"Everything is fine." Merve assured him. She didn\'t want Corey to wory if she mentions two girls in the restroom. Nothing happened, anyway. "I am a bit nervous when I catch various girls looking your way, but I guess that comes included with a handsome boyfriend. I will get used to it."
Corey chuckled. He likes that she called him handsome. "This handsome boyfriend belongs to you. Remember that you are the only one who can get close enough to touch me."
Merve hummed in approval. Corey is a sweet talker.
"Can we get more fruit punch?"
Corey observed Merve. Her eyes are a bit sparkly and her cheeks are slightly flushed, and he wanted to confirm… "You didn\'t get your buzz yet?"
Merve was happy, but that is because she is with Corey and it\'s not related to the drinks. "I feel normal. After the restroom, I have space for more beverages." Merve patted her belly to prove that she is not full.
Corey laughed and led the way toward the area with drinks. He likes that Merve is free enough with him to talk about the state of her bladder.
