Chapter 49: New Friends

"So let's be friends!" She offers me her hand. "You don't have a choice anyway..."

I start to grit my teeth in anger. Damn her... I'm gonna have to kiss up to her especially with what she said... I don't want Rose or any of my friends to suffer from the hands of this bitch.

"Of course. Whatever you say." I let out a fake smile shaking her hand.

"Great. Now let's go back and show everyone how much we are close. Got it?" Camille grabbed my hand and dragged me outside where everyone was.

"Hey. I know I was a bit of a bitch for trying to cause rumors about Lisa so I'm really sorry..." Mika apologizes to Rose.

"Don't apologize to me. Apologize to Lisa herself." Rose gave Mika the cold shoulder.

"It'd be wise to run away. Get out of here and get the hell away from Camille because I assure you staying with her is poisonous." Alexa speaks up.

"What? Aren't you guys her friends?" Rose looks at Alexa surprised.

"Our relationship is nothing but a toxic one. Camille has no regard for our wellbeing or whatsoever. She treats us like meer objects that she can just play with." Alexa says in a mellow voice.

"Wait if she treats you guys like absolute garbage why are you sticking with her then? I thought friendship is built with love and understanding..." Charles asks Alexa and Mika puzzled about their toxic relationship with Camille.

"Actually.. we don't really have a choice... if Camille asks you to be friends with her. You don't have the choice to say no. Lisa must already be her "friend" by now." Mika answered afraid.

"So whatever you do stay awa-" "Stay away from who Alexa?" We all turn to Camille having her arms crossed interrupting Alexa.

"I just tell Rose to stay away from Lisa's uncle so you like him so much, Camille," Alexa answered her.

"Anyways! Lisa and I are the best of friends now right Lisa?"

"Yes... Camille is my best friend now..." I say timidly.

"Ladies I am back. What is the stuff you want me to move? After that, I'll have to go so let's do this quickly." My uncle came back.

"Oh, that's great! Come here for a second. It's inside these rooms just move these tables for us thank you." Camille says in her obviously fake pure voice.

My uncle nodded and helped them moved the tables. They were large so they might take a while. I can see the mischievous smirk planted in Camille's face as I hear Charles signaling me to come over.

"Can we have a moment Lisa," Charles asks me to come over to a corner.

"Why did you suddenly became friends with Camille?" Charles ask me.

"YA LIKE WHAT THE HECK. CAMILLE IS LIKE A LITERAL JERK." Rose says in a furious tone.

"There's no point in fighting with her... I know Camille is a jerk but like I had no choice." I groan accepting my fate.

"Is this what Alexa meant by having no choice to accept her friendship?" Charles brings up what Alexa said.

"What did that Camille bitch do to you?" Rose asks me.

"She blackmailed me into being friends with her or she'll hurt my friends... She'll hurt you guys." I tell her.

"OH. This Camille bitch is legit getting on my nerves. I can seriously whoop her monkey ass if I could." Rose looked irritated.

"I think being acquainted with this girl is dangerous Lisa. Her so-called friends Alexa and Mika told us that she is horrible." Charles said.

"Not just horrible. She is a straight-up psychopath. If I were Mika and Alexa I would stay away from that narcissistic bitch." Rose exclaimed.

"Oh thank you for helping us Mr. Mahona." Camille thanked my uncle.

"No problem anything to help you guys. I hope you get along well with my niece Lisa." My uncle asks completely dense with the situation.

"Of course! Lisa and I are best friends after all. We'll get along really well." She says in a fake invested voice.

"Alright then see you around ladies! I'll be going." My uncle goes and waves goodbye to the Sorority girls.

"Hey, Lisa. I've prepared the fishing equipment. Let's go shall we?" My uncle leads me to the car.

As we walked towards the car... I feel a strange feeling behind my back.. like someone or something is watching me... It might just be my imagination. I shrug it off as nothing.

"By the way Charles, Thank you for lending us your car. These fishing equipment are very heavy." My uncle patted Charles's shoulder.

"Of course Mr. Mahona. Lisa and Rose are my friends after all and I've always been excited to fish since I've been kept home from elementary to high school." Charles replied to the sign of gratitude.

"Oh, I guess you are the same, Lisa. You were a total shut-in during elementary and high school too." Rose giggled.

"Oh shut up Rose." I rolled my eyes.

We reached the car. It was different from the limousine I rode from when I ate lunch with Charles. Damn, how many cars does this rich boy have?

Charles, Rose and I get to sit in the back while the driver and my uncle sat in the front. We all got in and get buckled up.

We all sat and remained silent from the entire trip. While my uncle researched and stuff about the fishing area. Charles remained silent just looking at the driver and Rose to fiddle with her phone texting, someone. I receive a notification.

"Hello, Lisa." The text said and it's from Damien! It's been so long since we've seen each other

"Hello, Damien! I'm really sorry... about what happened in the K-Pop convention and stuff and I really just abandoned you and stuff... Can we be friends again?" I text him back.

"Actually I was going to come to contact you sooner but when I got to Golden Crown University you weren't there until I found out that you transferred." He replied to the message.

"Oh.. I'm so sorry.. I wasn't there.." I texted.

"That's fine but why transfer all of a sudden?" He asks me in the text.

"Actually I'm not sure. The Dean asked me to transfer for the rest of the semester to Roseberry University. I think after the exams I'd be back at Golden Crown Academy." I say to him.

"Oh.. isn't the exams in two weeks? I guess you'll be back sooner than you thought." He texted.

"Wait! OMG, IT'S IN TWO WEEKS? I ACTUALLY DID NOT KNOW THAT. I STILL HAVEN'T STUDIED AT ALL AND STUFF." I texted him back.

"Actually I can help you study if you want to. It's not like I got anything better to do. It's usually the same exams that the universities take so we can study!" Damien texted.

I snickered a little. Happy that Damien someone so smart will help me study. I'm really lucky, aren't I?

I turn to look at Charles. Hmm, maybe I should invite him as well to the study group.

"Can we have Charles join us when we go study together," I said in the text.

"Of course. You can also invite Matthew as well. Don't invite Rose or Fred though they might distract us and stuff. They aren't really the most serious in studying and such and I don't want everyone in the study group to get a failing mark." He says. I giggled a little.

"Hey. I'm going to go study with Damien. Do you want to join us? You know for the upcoming exams." I say to Charles which breaks him off from his little trance.

"Oh! Of course. I'd love to. I never did a study group before when do you want to do it? The exams are in two weeks after all." Charles replied.

"HEY WHAT ABOUT ME? AREN'T YOU GOING TO INVITE ME!" I hear Rose behind me complaining.

"NO cause you are just going to distract us, Rose. Like we are not going to get anything done." I say to her.

"From what I remember Damien walked out on us during the K-Pop Convention why did he suddenly contact you and stuff?" Rose asks confused.

"Yes.. indeed he left in a very sour note," Matthew added to Rose's statement.

"Damien said that we were cool and stuff so ya. Water under the bridge. I don't need to relive that moment anyways since Damien is like a genius I'm gonna ask him to tutor me." I say to them.

"You are so mean for not inviting me Lisa. Way to go backstabbing your friend..." She rolls her eyes.

"GIRL YOU LITERALLY DITCHED me for my uncle," I whisper to her so that my uncle who is very busy with his phone not to hear it.

"Fine alright then." She pouted.

"Anyways guys! We are almost here." My uncle announces to everyone in the room.

"Alright! I can't wait!" Charles says in excitement.

I opened up my phone and replied. "Alright then. I'll text you later alright?" to Damien.

Time to go fishing! I find it very relaxing to do.
