Bailey
"I can't believe you had sex without a condom"
I shot Marcus an annoyed look as he sits on the beanbag chair in the common area "Can we not discuss my sex life? Be glad that I'm sharing a hint of my personal life with you."
"Oh, I'm very glad." Tyler says "Can I be the godfather?"
I roll my eyes "Calm down, Ty. I have other issues that need fixing right now."
"Yes." Liliana agrees "We can't let Bailey get expelled so we need to find a way to keep her here."
"The only way to keep her here is if she gets married." Marcus says
Liliana scoffs "Thanks for pointing out the obvious, Sherlock."
Before they can start arguing again, I say "Surely there needs to be another way because I'm not marrying that asshole."
"Why not?" Tyler asks curiously
"Because he's a lying manipulative bastard."I huff before glancing between them "Did I mention that he and Maya have a new target in mind and she told me that so casually like there's absolutely nothing wrong with the fact that they are going around trying to steal people's magic."
"We should definitely let the dean know before this whole thing gets out of hand." Tyler says
Marcus scoffs "Fuck that and fuck Mr Robinson. Let's take this into our own hands."
Liliana raises her hand "I second that."
I glance between them in surprise "What does that even mean?"
Liliana shrugs "Rip one's heart out and knock the head off the other." She glances at Marcus "What did you have in mind?"
He smirks "The same."
Liliana nods and glances back at me and Marcus' smirk fades again while Tyler and I look absolutely horrified and I say "No, we most certainly will not be doing any of that. The dean already has it out for each of us because of what happened to Simon so we shouldn't give him more leverage."
They nod and Tyler says "Why don't we all just let this go for tonight and take a breather? There's a party tonight in the assembly hall and before anyone asks, one of my friend's stole the key from the janitor so it's a party venue tonight."
I groan "I can't drink anymore so I'll just stay in."
"Absolutely not." Liliana says "You need to have fun, Bailey and you won't even need to drink. I'm sure they'll be water or even juice for you."
"There will be." Tyler agrees.
Marcus pipes up "And this is your first night back after two months so take this as a welcome back party for you."
I snort a laugh at the idea but I do feel tempted to go out and just have fun because this past few months has been the worst.
My parents.
Cory Robinson.
Joey.
Eli.
Maya.
I'm tired of crying and being sad all the fucking time.
I nod "I'm down."
"Yes!" Liliana claps happily which makes Tyler clap too and Marcus suddenly joins in, I roll my eyes even though I have a small smile of my face.
After getting absolutely glammed, Liliana and I finally make our way over to the Assembly Hall while the guys left a while ago. And as we walking I ask Liliana "Don't you find it weird how Tyler and his friends are always partying in the most unusual places?"
She shrugs "More like fun places."
"Of course you would think that, little miss life of the party."
"You know it" she winks and when we reach the hall and walk inside I'm not at all surprised by the set up because I know Tyler well enough to know that he and his friends are going to go way out for a party.
"Let's get you something to drink!" Liliana leads the way to the stage where a whole table is set up with different drinks and she passes me a closed bottle of water before making her a drink.
As I wait for her, I glance around seeing everyone getting wasted like it's their last day on earth and I love it for them. Trinity is such a strict school and I'm glad I found people willing to risk it all just for a little fun. Liliana grabs my hand and leads the way to the dance floor without a word being said and we start dancing for minutes if not hours.
When 'Walking on a dream by Black Eyed Peas' start playing, a boy walks up to me who I don't know and whisper in my ear "Do you want to dance?"
It takes me a hot minute to remember I'm single now but when I do, I say "Sure."
Liliana leaves us to go dance with someone else to allow mystery boy more space to dance with me and I find myself liking this. His not talking, he didn't ask my name, he didn't give me his name and he's not even touching me. I don't know why he came over to me and I can't bring myself to care. All of a sudden and without warning the music stops and we all glance around in confusion but gasp when we see the dean with a few other professors and campus security. We all try to make a run for it but all the side doors are locked and they are covering the main exit, I don't think we're all brave enough to run them over though so we all just stand there.
Mr Robinson looks around the room "I'm highly disappointed that my students would go behind my back and break conduct."
He continues talking but I drown him out when I see Eli also standing by the main door as his eyes scan the room and a second later it lands on me. His eyes darken as his cheek twitch when he clenches his jaw and I resist the urge to flip him off. I turn back to the dean slash my father and listen to him continue speaking.
"With that being said, you all will be given detention for a week and if you fail to show up then I'll have no other choice but to expend you from the school premises for a month."
Everyone grumble and groan, clearing not liking the idea of either and Mr Robinson points to the exist "Now get back to your dorms." Everyone starts filling out and he says "Bailey. Stay behind."
I frown but stay behind nonetheless giving Tyler a nod of reassurance when he gives me a questing look, when all the students are out the others leave as well and I ignore Eli's entire existence. When it's just Mr Robinson and I, he says "I didn't know you were back."
I nod "I got back a few hours ago"
"And you weren't going to inform me?"
"I was going to do so in the morning."
"I see." He clasps his hands behind his back "How have you been?"
I raise an eyebrow "Was there a specific reason why you wanted me to stay behind, Mr Robinson?"
He nods "I wanted to know if you told anyone about our…relations."
I scoff because what the hell is going on with the men today? I don't know where they find the audacity "No. I didn't tell anyone you're my father so you can relax."
Lie. I told my roommates and Eli but he doesn't need to know that though
"Alright it's just because your aunt has been MIA of late so I thought maybe she knew."
I scoff again, of course it has something to with aunt Lisa. I'm starting to think that's all he cares about. "I spoke with her this morning and she's good. So if she's ignoring you then she probably realised you're a dick."
His eyes narrow "Language. I'm your dean and father."
"You are only one of those things because the only dad I know is dead." I glare and shoulder check past him before making my way out.
I walk back to my dorm trying to contain my anger but before I can walk into the building, someone snatches my arm and drags me around to the back of the building. And the only reason why I'm not panicking right now is because Eli's familiar smell hits my nose and I know he won't hurt me right now. I saw the look in his eyes when he found out I'm pregnant, he wants this baby as much as I do.
