"And then we have to get up higher with this note." Omar finishes saying just as Bella takes a seat. She's immediately greeted by Jinx, who she raises an eyebrow at.
He's told her about his fight with Omar. They had kissed and now Omar wss acting like Jinx didn't even exist. When confronted about it Omar just denied it ever happened and yelled at Jinx to let it go. Bella had stumbled upon Jinx crying under the stairwell. It hurt her knowing he was hurting, but she didn't know what to do after being begged not to break Omar's nose.
"Hey, guys." Bella greets, grabbing one of Dom's fries. He narrows his eyes teasingly.
"You're lucky you're cute." He grumbles, grabbing a couple of fries he drags through ranch before eating.
Hale glares at Dom. Bella scoffs, "I'm not cute. I'm evil."
"But you're so tiny, it's adorable." Dom argues, grinning when Bella flings a fry at him.
"Not my fault you're a fucking giant." She grumbles, nudging Jinx, who had been staring at Omar. She smiles at him, in attempts to cheer him up a little. He gives her a weak smile in return.
"Mars!" A feminine voices calls out, approaching the table.
Bella looks over to see a tall, model thin girl with umber skin matching Omar's approaching. Her hair is long, in braids, half up and half down, with gold clasps litters them. She wears a cute golden, off the shoulder sun dress with a jean jacket and all white converse. She stops beside the table, drawing everyone's attention to her. Bella briefly remembers her from the day Hale asked Jenna to homecoming.
"Hey guys," She greets with a dazzling smile, her dark, almost black eyes rounding the table until they land on Bella. "And you must be Bella! I've heard so much about you!" She chirps happily.
Bella smiles, looking at the guys with confusion in her eyes, "Good things I hope. I wish I could say the same..."
The girl smacks Omar, "How dare you not tell her about me. I'm Vivian, Omar's sister. You can call me Viv."
"Nice to meet you." Bella nods. Viv ruffles Hale's hair, playing with it as she turns to Omar. Watching Viv do that makes Bella's stomach flip.
"Anyway, mom and dad are going out tonight so they wanted me to tell you that you'll have the house to yourself." She tells her brother, her thin fingers messing up Hale's curls. He sits there, letting her do it, a vaguely annoyed look on his face.
"I won't be home tonight, anyway. Where are you going to be?" Omar questions.
"I'll be with Toya." She dismisses, leaning down to hug Hale, then her brother.
"Don't be having those boys over." Omar warns as she fist bumps Dom and Jinx, opting for hugging Bella on her way around the table.
"You boys are welcome to join us," Viv suggests, winking at Hale, who just looks away from her. Bella huffs quietly, straightening in her seat.
"Thought I wasn't allowed around your friends." Omar raises an eyebrow, oblivious to his sister's shameless flirting.
Viv waves her hand dismissively, "I'd let it slide this once."
"Well, we're busy tonight." Dom speaks up, having been watching Bella get progressively more agitated with Viv's flirting. It's not like she does it on purpose, she is naturally flirty, but Bella doesn't know that.
And he's almost certain Viv is doing it just to see how Bella will react.
"Boo." Viv pouts before walking away.
