27. The 'Fun Party'

last update Last Updated: 2024-10-18 17:07:24

MIRANDA POV

The triplets are hosting a party, calling it a 'fun party.' I just hope they're not up to anything bad.

“Hope you’re okay with it?” she asked, her fingers deftly slipping the dress off her shoulders. Left in just a pair of shorts and a top, she walked over and sat down beside me.

I avoided parties mainly because of my studies. I’ve always been the studious one, the one who kept her head buried in books while others partied.

As a struggling student, I wanted to make my parents proud, and skipping parties was my top priority.

“It’s going to be my first time attending a party, but first I need to go home and change before coming back to you.”

I stood up, a smile spreading across my face, but Sophia quickly grabbed my hand, pulling me back down. “Not so fast!” she laughed, her eyes gleaming mischievously.

“I have tons of dresses—old and new! Just stay with me, and let’s go together,” she pleaded, her eyes sparkling with hope. I glanced at her cluttered bed, fabric spilling

    OWENAs I approached my dorm, the familiar building loomed ahead, but my mind was elsewhere—on the girl who had turned my world into something amazing and pleasing: Miranda.I've never felt this way about anyone before, and it still bothers me how the moon goddess destined us for each other, especially after everything I put her through and the pain I caused.Baka leaned against the doorframe, his grin plastered across his face.

    MIRANDAWe arrived at the venue, the music thumping loudly as we stepped out of Roland's car. He had driven us down from the lodge down here.I concentrated on walking carefully in the high heels Sophia had given me. I had never worn heels this high before, these were her lowest, at 10.5 cm. Just as I started to feel confident, my ankle wobbled, and I stumbled into a lady in front of me.Embarrassement flooded on my cheeks, and I fidgeted with the strap of my glittering gown, avoiding the curious gazes around me. "I'm deeply sorry," I apologized.The lady was kind not to react as she began to leave, but as she walked away with someone beside her, I realized she looked familiar, her purple ring shining in the dark."Gosh, I hope you didn't get hurt! You need to learn how to wear heels," Sophia said as she checked on me. I turned slowly, feeling an urge to squeeze her right there. She pouted at me, and I sneered back. Sophia was wearing a short gown that covered her half of her butt.I

    "Gosh... they're so handsome.""I would leave my man for one of them.""If I could, I might have a one-night stand with them."Whispers and handclaps echoed as they walked into the club, wearing leather jackets with white linings and plain black trousers. Only Owen wore glasses.Some guys dusted off the couch where they were supposed to sit in the middle of the club, while the triplets shrugged and took their seats. They settled onto a round couch with a table in the middle. The people sitting across from them smiled widely, feeling lucky to have the trio nearby. "Let's raise a toast to our amazing Oliver, Owen, and Orion for always organizing the best party in town!" Baka announced, and everyone in the club lifted their glasses. Miranda, Sophia, and Roland joined in, raising their glasses high.Miranda rolled her eyes and downed her drink. She took a deep breath, hoping they wouldn't see or smell her until the end of the night."Yeah!!!" the crowd echoed, and only Orion smiled as t

    MIRANDAI tightened my grip on the glass of wine, my heart pounding as I scanned the crowded room. Daniel sat too close to Sophia, his smile wide and inviting. The sight twisted my stomach.The worst part was that Sophia was smiling at him, she looks so happy, I could see she was already falling for him, while Daniel was winking at me. Isn't it absurd? It was so infuriating. What was his plan with her? Why would she ever fall for someone like him?“And you are?” Daniel’s voice dripped with mock curiosity, pulling my focus away from Sophia. My eyes were already turning red with anger. Please, moon goddess, don’t let him use her for his stupid motives. I don't trust him."She's Miranda Cosgrove, my best friend," she replied, stepping in for me. Honestly, I didn’t even want to respond.Gosh this dickhead! Sophia nudged me, prompting me to force a smile at her. I shot Daniel a stern look, but he met my gaze with an evil grin and still winked at me.“Sophia, let’s get out of here. Where

My eyes began scanning the room desperately searching for an escape, I spotted a door at the far end of the room. Without considering the consequences, I ran as fast as I could, my footsteps echoing. I glanced back; he stood there, unmoving, slowly tilting his head toward me. My heart raced as I yanked the door open and dashed outside.The area felt eerily empty as I hugged myself against the cold, wrapping my arms around my shoulders. The chilling wind whipped around me, causing the trees across the way to sway. I realized I was behind the club building.I needed to be cautious about where I went. Though my mind felt foggy, I couldn’t shake the unsettling thought of what she meant by "good to see you again."Right now, I’m hiding behind the club building, unable to move any further.

    MIRANDA "Miranda."I knew that voice all too well—it was Oliver. He ran toward me, panting as he took me in with a glance from head to toe before pulling me into a hug. Meanwhile, I could barely breathe, still coughing from how tightly her hands had been wrapped around my neck."Now you see why I told you to stay home, huh?"He pulled back from the hug, taking a step away before grabbing my hand and leading me behind him."Who are you?" Oliver demanded, his voice echoing through the darkness. His eyes were fixed on her as she struggled on the ground, trying to free her legs from the rope tangled around them, groaning quietly under her breath.The area was so dark I could barely make out the details. She didn’t respond, nor did she beg for her life. Her hands were focused solely on the rope, while Oliver scoffed in frustration.He moved closer to her as she quickened her pace, her fingers working desperately at the ropes.

Turning, I saw Owen walking toward me, holding two cups of coffee. He handed me one as he reached my side, and I took a sip before returning my gaze to the horizon.Owen smiled at me. "Hope you are getting better."I nodded. "The wounds are all closed. I'm just feeling a little pain there, and that's about it.""Good to hear."

My hands were stained with blood, and I needed to wash them. I wiped my hands after the blood was gone, but they were still wet, so I used my dress instead. I had left my napkin in class."You still haven't answered my question, Mira."I hissed, having ignored him earlier. I didn’t even know the answer, and honestly, he didn’t deserve a response.What's his business with my relationship with the Triplets?"Don't think we've bonded over this, okay? We saved the girl, and that's all I needed." That's the only response I have for him.I started walking toward the school clinic’s gate, aware of him following closely behind. I quickened my pace and slammed the small gate shut, but he opened it and continued to call my name. Ugh, I was so fed up with this."What is it? What do you want from me?" I shot back, my heart racing.“You.”His reply was
