Don't change yourself so people will like you. Be yourself and the right people will love the real you.





Giara's POV.

"Pretty lady!!" Marcus shouted sweetly as he walked towards me.

"Yes Marcus?" I questioned putting my helmet on. "Marcus?" Still no answer. I turned around to see him staring at my baby aka my bike with his mouth open.

"Marcus?" I closed his mouth. "You want something?"

"Oh I want everything you have to offer pretty lady." I guess Marcus is back to normal now.

"Is my fist colliding with your face enough for you?" I said holding up my fist. He shook his head. "So what you want?"

"Can I pitch in a ride from you. Jay wants to spend time with his 'girlfriend'." He said quoting the word girlfriend with his fingers. "Pleaseee.." He pleaded with his puppy dog eyes.

"Okay." I said tossing him my helmet.

"What about you?"

"Don't worry." I waved him off getting on my baby.

*At party house*

"Woohoo!! Again! Again!" Marcus exclaimed like a child as soon as we reached our destination that is the party house.

"Not now Marcus. We need to meet your cousin/bestfriend right? Now get off." He pouted getting off and handed me the helmet.

"Not now means, I will get a chance again right?" He started jumping up and down like a kid high on candies.

"Maybe. I don't know why you need to beg. You've got enough money to buy one yourself."

"Good idea. But I don't know how to drive one."

"Maybe I'll teach you."

"You will?"

"Yes. Now let's go before something happens to your cousin/bestfriend."

"Oh nothing will happen to him here. It's just a high school party."

"Yeah I can see that." I said looking at the half naked boy who was puking his guts out. People were roaming around with drinks in their hands. It wasn't even half past eight and they were already drunk. Loud music was playing. Couples were grinding each other while others were busy snogging against the wall.

"There they are. Come on." He said pulling me towards where bratty, his girlfriend, Rina, Alex, and Kyle were standing.

"Hey Giara!" Rina greeted hugging me. I just awkwardly patted her back.

"Hey." Both Alex and Kyle greeted winking at me. I just nodded at them.

"Paul?" Marcus asked.

"Oh he couldn't come. He has to babysit his cousin or something." Rina answered. Then there was a awkward silence. Marcus and bratty were whispering something to each other.

"Sooo?" Bratty said.

"So?" Everyone questioned.

"Never mind."

"Whatever you guys. I'll go meet my girls." Rachel said sassing her way through crowd.

"I'll go too." Rina followed her.

"Yeah me too." Kyle went behind them.

"Me three." Alex was gone too leaving Marcus, bratty and me alone.

"Come on let's get us something to drink."

"Okay." I said following them to the bar.

"Two strong beer and what do you want pretty lady?"

"Strong beer is good."

"Okay then three strong beer please."

"Here you go." He said handing me my beer. I took a sip.

"What?" They both were staring at me.

"Nothing." Both said looking elsewhere. I took another sip and they were back with staring at me. Is something wrong with my drink. I sniffed. Is it spiked? Hmmm it smells like it's supposed to. Then why they keep star--. Oh wait! Now I get it.

"If you both are waiting for me get full on drunk then forget about it."

"Who said we are?" Bratty said looking at Marcus and then at me.

"It's not possible. My alcohol capacity is very high." At that bratty glared at Marcus who sheepishly smiled at him. They were so trying to get me drunk. I gulped down the whole glass before ordering another one. I took the glass and started heading towards couch where the kid who lend me his shorts was sitting ideally and staring at a redhead​ who was talking with her friends.

"You like her." I said taking a seat next to him, boys following behind me.

"What? O-oh, n-no. I j-just--" He stuttered.

"Yes you do Samuel."

"Okay fine. I do. But she is never going to like me."

"And why is that?"

"It's common sense right. I mean look at her popular pretty girl and then look at me. Why would someone will like to be with a nerdy guy like me." He bitterly chuckled.

"Can you see without your glasses?" I questioned.

"Yes. I just need them while reading."

"Good. Take them off." I said running my hands through his hair and messing up.

"What are y--"

"Shhh."

"Hmmm. Stand up." I eyed him up and down. His shirt is tucked in. That need to be out. I started removing.

"W-what are you doing?!?" He exclaimed putting a distance in between us.

"Whoa, whoa pretty lady. At least get a room first." Marcus said. I just gave him a blank stare.

"Remove you shirt from your pants. Unbutton the first two buttons of your shirt." He did as I said. "Good. Now you need drinks and you are good to go. Marcus?"

"Yes?"

"Give me your drink." I handed the drinks to Samuel and pushed him towards the girl he likes.

"What? No, no I'm not talking to her."

"Yes, you are. Now move." I pushed towards her direction. He nervously walked towards her. He turned his back to look at me. I nodded my head towards her, telling him to go ahead. He meekly nodded before turning his attention back to her.

He said a nervous hi to her. She greeted back. Few minutes later they were talking, laughing she was getting all touchy-touchy at him.

"That was nice of you." Bratty said.

"What?" I said.

"Helping him."

"Ohh. He will be back soon."

"What do you mean by that?"

"You will see." They both shrugged. "So what are you guys doing?"

"Umm sitting on couch pretty lady." Marcus stated the obvious.

"Let me correct myself. What are you guys are doing with following me everywhere?"

"Well you stated oh wait not stated, you threatened me to be with you wherever you go, so here we are." Smarty bratty said.

"Well I'm giving you a chance to enjoy yourself. Do whatever you want. Just don't leave without informing me. Now shoo shoo." I tried to shoo them.

"I will stay here and keep you company." Marcus said.

"Suit yourse--" Samuel came with his face down and carrying drinks. I took one.

"Thank you."

"You are welcome." He replied sadly.

"What happened? Why you look upset?" Bratty asked him.

"Redhead ditched him." I answered for him pointing towards her who was busy eating a guy's face. That's what it looked like. But I guess she's kissing him.

"Uhh!" We all made a face at that.

"That was the fifth guy including our Samuel here."

"You could have warned me before." Samuel said accusingly.

"But you wouldn't have believed me."

"Then why do make him remove his glasses and all?" Bratty questioned.

"To make him realised that he don't need to change especially for a girl like her. And if any girl likes him then it should be for who he really is not the one without glasses and messy hair." I simply said shrugging.

"Samuel listenyou don't need to change for world just because they don't like your clothingstyle and glasses. They could change their heart okay. You have a great heartand that's the only thing they should care about." Suddenly two pairs ofarms were around me.

"Thank you." Samuel whispered hugging me tightly. I returned his hugpatting his head. What? He's just a like a cute puppy I can't help it.

"Sorry I didn't mean to. It's just nobody cared for me so much." Heapologized.

"It's okay." I gave him a smile.
