Chapter 2

"Look, mate, I don't know how it got out but practically everyone knows"

I bounced the ball between my legs before jumping up and shooting it into the basket. Me and my mate Kyle were out shooting hoops when the news broke out. I had expected to have my first real week at uni before any of this came to my attention but seems like the devil has been working overtime.

It's not that I am ashamed it's more the fact that I wanted to have at least one week of peace before people are trying to use me.

One week God. That's all I ask.

Growing up with rich parents I've learnt to have thick skin and to choose my friends wisely. My family has direct links to the royal family in Thailand which has brought me a lot of popularity in school.

I kind of want to enjoy my university experience without people knowing of my connections but turns that wasn't going to happen.

Jasper who was majoring in journalism came running over to the court. He had his iPad in his hands as he ran over.

"check this out boys, you remember the other night when that Chica dented your car" how could I forget. Not only did she dent my car, but she also had an attitude to go with it. She was lucky she is hot.

"what about her?"

He grinned, "glad you asked, turns out her Madre is a big-time journalist and their company was the one that released it to the press" I'm struggling to understand why he was grinning.

Was this her way of payback. Technically she was the one that hit me all I did was make some comments about a favour.

"speaking of the devil" Kyle whistled as he pointed to the girls from the other night walking across campus.

I spotted her instantly. I mean she's not hard to miss with her jet-black hair, Asian tanned skin and long legs. I'd be stupid not to appreciate that god really took his time on this one.

Her friends were stunning as well. Kimberly was the African American girl with the confidence like nothing I've seen before. She had long dark curly hair and beautiful dark skin, I already knew she was right up Kyle's alley.

Last but not least was Montana. She was more my type. The short bob suited her sharp slim features with her petite frame.

She was just beautiful but Alexis, seemed to be more reserved and chill which was attracting.

"hang on there buddy, don't you want to have fun with them" Jace now joined us instantly catching on.

Fun.

"Rylan is hosting this big ass party, and everyone is going to be there" ah Rylan. The biggest douche I have ever had the chance to meet. Cheating on his girl twice before dumping her and blaming her for being a slut.

Yeah, I know really classy.

Dude takes steroids and walks around like he's fucking Thor or something. But who am I to turn down a good party and a chance to teach this little Bella a lesson.

"my maaaan" Jace sang out slapping my back.

At the party

The guys were over at my flat pre-drinking since we had bought drinks earlier. I had just finished an annoying as fuck conversation with my father who wanted me to give out a statement.

Fuck that.

I didn't need to give out any statement.

"well, all I know is there are going to some beautiful ladies there tonight and I actually want to remember it," Kyle said avoiding taking shots that Jace was trying to force down his throat.

If you hadn't noticed me and Kyle were similar whereas Jace and Jasper were slightly more upbeat and were down for near about everything.

Me and Kyle instantly got on when we met at the basketball league practice. I got stuck with these idiots Jace and Jasper as my roommates. We managed to swap rooms with the Korean guy and let Kyle room with us.

Nothing against the Korean guy he actually wanted to move with some Asian guys in the next hall, so it was convenient.

"no, you want to impress that exotic Kimmy from last night, I saw you checking her out" Jace slapped him on the back.

I smirked at Kyle. Good luck with that one son, she seems feisty.

After a good 3 shots, we headed to Rylan's place. He had the most expensive flat in the whole uni with a massive balcony. His flat had a massive pool which was open for everyone.

We drove their music blasting from Jace's speakers probably pissing off every peaceful neighbour possible. Their fault for living in the student quarter.

When we pulled up, I had to act like I liked a bunch of these idiots. Now since the news broke out, they were expecting big things from me.

"Mr royalty glad you could make it," Rylan said coming towards us. I grinned back pretending it didn't bother me, but I hoped it wouldn't be a name that catches on.

"well I'll catch you guys later, drinks are in the back" he shouted as he passed us heading straight to a big group of girls.

Typical.

We did what he said and headed for the drinks. We pissed about with some of the other guys and ended up in the room with a big pool table.

I managed to distract myself from everything and play a few games of pool and it actually worked for a while until Jasper was running in.

"go time" he whispered into my ear. He led us out to the main area where everyone was. music was bouncing through the walls, people were dancing , grinding having fun.

Trust me when I say it didn't take long for us to find them.

All three stood in the corner talking to some other girls. Kimberly was the first one I saw dancing with another girl. She wore a tight leather black dress and had her hair in one long ass ponytail.

Grande style.

Alexis was in the middle sipping from a beer bottle. She wore a tight as sin pink dress showing off her tanned skin and full assets. Most of the guys around were staring at them. I don't blame them.

Montana was last again; I nearly lost my fucking mind when I saw the jaw-dropping cleavage. Even though she wasn't as curvy as the other girls she was the definition of fit. Abs, toned muscles.

"keep it in your pants "Kyle was now smirking at me as he saw Montana slowly move her eyes to me.

Tonight, I was supposed to do something to Alexis, pay her back but I had other plans in mind in regard to this girl.

"are you kidding me, look how hot she is," I said back. He could only nod his head in agreement.

We lurked around for a few minutes and luckily for us, they split up. I made my move following Montana through to the kitchen.

She reached out for a bottle to make herself a drink. Heavens gave me their blessing when she couldn't open the bottle.

I moved towards her "here let me" I said taking the bottle from her. She said a quiet thank you and waited as I unscrewed the bottle.

"it's Montana right," I said handing her the bottle. Whatever you do Cole do not stare at her chest.

She started to pour some of the drink into a glass before reaching for a diet coke.

"yeah, oh you're the guys we bumped into the other night" she seemed to recognise me. I nodded.

"Yeah well, your friend did," I said, I didn't want her thinking it was her fault. In my eyes, she could do nothing wrong.

She smiled to herself "I wouldn't say that we were in charge of making sure it was clear" again, no wrong.

She finally finished off making her drink. She took a small sip nodding her head I assumed that she was pleased with her drink. I reached over and grabbed a beer pooping it open by using the table.

"well it doesn't matter; I have to say you look amazing tonight Tana," I said leaning to give her a longing look.

When I saw her look down and move to tuck some of her hair behind her ear, I was sure that she liked it.

Some girls can get easily offended by things, but Montana was above that she is mature yet so fucking adorable I was close to falling for her there and then.

"Thank you, well I best be going. I will see you around" she peered up at me almost as if she was suggesting something.

I was shocked for a moment. "oh definitely "I said watching her turn and leave. My eyes dropped to her toned backside, I felt absolutely lost for words.

"dude, stop being friends with the enemy" "Jace said walking over to me, well stumbling he was definitely drunk by this stage.

I moved away from the kitchen "I'm not, I'm being friendly to the enemies friend" Jace just gawked at me but responded well to my idea. Doubt he will remember any of this tomorrow which Is somewhat calming.

"Atta boy" we walked back into the main area and turns out people were moving to the pool where the music was. apparently, Rylan had ordered ten boxes of pizza that were being demolished.

When I saw Alexis sanding near the pool and had a wicked idea in mind. The sinful smile she sent my way was enough to have me riled up.

Montana was speaking into her ear at that exact moment. Were they all in it together.

Not having a guilty bone in my body, I walked over to them. I slipped a hand around Montana's waist which she gladly accepted. When Alexis' eyes slid down to her best friends waist, I could literally see her fuming.

With a silent smirk at Alexis, I turned around and nudged her causing her to fall straight into the pool.

She went straight down emerging her whole body into the water. The sound of pure laughter around the pool was enough to have me satisfied.

I was too busy bathing in the pure joy of what just happened to notice Montana slip out of my arm and go to reach for her friend who I literally just pushed into the pool.

Kyle even went so far as pushing me out the way and holding his hand out to Alexis who finally came to surface.

His hand was successfully shoved out the way when I saw another guy bent down and reach for Alexis' hand. She gladly took the hand and let him haul her ass out of the pool.

I quickly stepped away sensing a very pissed off Kimberly heading my way. She roughly pushed at my back. "what the fuck is your problem it was an accident" she screamed at me.

I glared at her "the car was an accident but sharing my privacy to the press was not a fucking accident" there I said it.

She was taken aback.

"how is that my fault" Alexis spoke finally. She was trying her hair with a towel someone had handed over to her.

I laughed mockingly "your dirty journalist mother that's who, and it no coincidence that this happens the night after the whole crash incident"

(SLAP)

I stared shocked at her. "that wasn't my mother you fucktard and don't ever insult my mother again" she said before storming off. Her friends followed after her and I was left to face an annoyed and pissed off Kyle.

"you fucked up big time," Jasper said coming to stand by me.
