Chapter 29

No, no, no, no, no, no.

The two-letter word was a panicked chant in her head.

Just my fucking luck!

Chaeyoung gulped when Lisa's brows furrowed, her eyes flicking between Chaeyoung and Jisoo, before turning to her friends. The downward slant of her dark eyebrows only increased when she turned back to her, concern evident on her face.

"Chae?" Jisoo asked again, prodding her in the side. "Do you know them?"

"U-Um, they're upperclassmen. From my school. I think. Uh, I didn't know them too well though," She managed to get out, her voice scratchy. Her hands were clasped in front of her fingers nervously wringing themselves out like wet, sweaty towels.

"Hmph, it's probably a good think that you didn't know them too well," Jisoo muttered under her breath, ignoring the lecherous gazes the guys in Lisa's entourage were boring into her. Though the girls there just looked unimpressed at Jisoo's beauty. A little uncomfortable, Jisoo pulled some of her hair in front of her shoulders, shielding her robust cleavage that she usually had no problem showing. Still, Jisoo did not slouch nor cower away, and instead just made an effort to ignore the seedy remarks some of the guys made.

Apart from Lisa, Chaeyoung only knew two others by name; one was Colin Jennings, a tall, muscular gym-rat that had far more substance in his biceps than his brain. Though a bit of a neanderthal, she had no real issues with him, since out of the whole group (including Lisa), he was probably the most approachable out of all of them. A dopey, lazy smile was always on his face, and despite being the bulkiest out of everyone at school, he never used it to bully others, but probably only because he was too lazy to do so.

The other person she recognised was Theo Masters. Back when he was still in highschool, for someone like Chaeyoung, he was someone she wanted to steer clear from. Much like the Lisa she thought she knew before, Theo was a man whore and a troublemaker, but far more cruel than Lisa ever could be, both then and now. He was good looking but his eyes were a little too cold, and his aura a little too intimidating. He was considered one of Lisa's best friends, and Chaeyoung guessed, he probably still is. Although Chaeyoung was sure that they had slept together on multiple occasions in the past.

I don't like Lisa standing beside him.

The Lisa that she had come to know did not look right standing next to someone like Theo. Lisa, who was surprisingly gentle and kind - though sometimes teasing and blunt - did not seem that way beside Theo. It had been a long time since Chaeyoung was reminded of who Lisa was, and somewhere along the way she had realised that the Lisa that she snuggled with in the pool shed, that cooked her pasta and stayed up talking to her in late-night phone calls, was not the whole Lisa. There was a Lisa that she didn't like. A Lisa that scared her. That Lisa was one that called Theo a friend, a friend who was currently striding up to Jisoo with one corner of his thin lips pulled up and eyes rolling up and down over her ample curves.

"Ugh," Jisoo gagged, giving Chaeyoung a look and a barely-hidden eye roll. Theo, of course, was too busy looking at her boobs to notice her expression of disgust, and only stopped walking towards her when he could lean over her smaller stature, the sour scent of his cologne washing over the two of them in waves of nausea.

Finally looking up at Jisoo's face, which was drawn down in displeasure, Theo only smiled to show his straight, refrigerator-white teeth.

"You look bored," he said, glancing at Chaeyoung with a chilled smirk. "Want to ditch your friend here and come with us? I'll definitely show you a good time." Chaeyoung saw Jisoo's throat bob up and down as she swallowed her vomit, taking a step back towards her sister.
