All Chapters of The Garden Of Rising Stars: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

...The atmosphere began quickly turning cold. To anyone in the world that Irishman could be just about anybody. But there was only one person who was Irish that was close enough to Evelyn for rumors to spread. And everyone there knew the said Irish person, and all of them were very fond of him.... Including one man who was damn near drooling on himself from all the mushrooms, but those words seem to haVE instantly sobered him up. The girls had only ever seen Bernard not smile one time, and that was when Collen took his mushrooms from him. But the expression on his face was nothing compared to the one that was currently on his face.But it wasn't just Bernard. Kendra who loved Collen, Daphne who felt like she was beginning to fall for him. And Alison who was grappling with the relationship dynamics surrounding him was unsure of her feelings, but thought the world of him. All of them rounded their gazes on Carlos giving him a downright nasty look. Evelyn's face for the

"Carlos shouldn't you slow down a little bit." A girl asked as Carlos tilted his glass back guzzling down the liquor inside like it was the nectar of the gods."Ah I apologize my dear. Today was... Disappointing I suppose." Carlos admitted. "So what are we waiting for! It's a party isn't it!? Let's get more drinks over here!""Yes sir! Right away Mr. Olivera!" Carlos was sitting in a booth with a woman on each arm, dressed quite sharp if he had a say so himself. And was surrounded by many of his friends and either their families or dates for the evening all of whom were either in booths themselves or the closest tables."Order anything you all would like! Drinks, food, it's all on me tonight!" Carlos cheered giving everyone present a charming smile."Alright that's Carlos for you! Always the generous man!" One of his friends cheered raising his glass to him."When are you going to take us to a place like this!" One woman scolded her date."W

"So let me get this straight. All I have to do is beg and you'll pay for everything.. For our WHOLE party right?" Collen asked smiling like a hungry wolf. Carlos examined his face for a brief moment wondering what he could be playing at? 'The way he said that feels off.' Carlos thought to himself. But he decided to ignore that deep down feeling, brushing aside his judgement."Yea that's right ALL of your people can order anything you want and I'll pay. That even includes you, your lucky day right?" Carlos taunted him returning  a similar wolfish smile. 'I'll take your dignity, all these girls will see what a loser you are, and I'll take them next!' Carlos thought as his confidence began returning. 'This man has nothing compared to me. This time I'm going to show him that.'"Okay. Everyone heard that right?" Collen asked in a raised voice so everybody could hear him, his tone almost giddy like somebody had been tickling him. Mainly looking at the manager ensuring h

..."Well how bad is it!?" Carlos asked beaming ear to ear unable to contain his smile with his usual poker face. 'It must be pretty bad considering the looks on their faces. Just how broke is this poor shmuck.' Carlos was absolutely giddy. In this moment he was going to discover just how pitiful of a life Collen was leading. This is the definition of pleasure! No this is Bliss! This was the long awaited moment for Carlos! Years now he was convinced Collen was nothing but a poor slob absolutely no good for Evelyn or this world. 'Evelyn may believe she's in love with this human waste bin, but if I'm even slightly correct.... She's a smart girl, she'll have to recognize just how useless he really is! Even if she does think he's good looking, eventually beauty fades! Will she really want to take care of some fat useless slob forever?' As he finished that thought an image flashed through his mind. Picture a movie scene where the camera was focused on a fat Collen wearing a hat an

"Sooo.. H-Having a good night are we?" Alison asked trying her best to contain her laughter.Collen and Evelyn finally returned to their group, though nothing close to their original state. Evelyn's hair was a complete wreck, by looks of her you would think an angry flock of birds had attacked her or made an attempt at turning her hair into a nest for at least a few of them before abandoning it. Her lipstick was smeared all over her face. Like the Joker was playing makeup artist and Evelyn was the unlucky client. The shoulder strap of her shirt was hanging partly down her arm. Collen wasn't looking much better. His hair was a fair bit of a mess though clearly nothing like the disaster that was Evelyn's, his fly was still open, and though hidden fairly well there were nail marks on his shoulders his shirt mostly covered."Turns out this party was a pretty amazing idea.""I bet something was amazing though for some reason I don't believe it was the pa
