BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1667 - Corey's Prom (2)
Merve tried to avoid going to the restroom because that is the place where bad things happen in high school. This is a hotel and not a school, but it\'s full of high schoolers, so it\'s almost the same.
Unfortunately for Merve, she had two glasses of the fruit punch and one sparkling water and the pressure in her bladder was building up.
Merve mentioned the restroom twice, but she didn\'t gather the courage to go.
"Do you want me to go with you?" Corey offered when he saw that Merve is hesitant.
Merve looked at Corey expectantly. "Can you?"
Corey laughed at her innocent expression. "I can\'t go inside girls\' restroom without causing an uproar, but I can wait at the door. In the hallway. If any monster attacks you, just scream, and I will barge inside and kick his head off."
Merve knows that he is teasing her because (based on the movies) the only monsters in the restroom could be mean girls and Corey would never hit a girl. But she also knows that his offer to wait for her outside is valid. Merve thought how a boy lingering outside the girls\' restroom would be strange and she told herself that she needs to be brave. It\'s just a restroom, and she knows how to defend herself.
"No need. It will not take long. If any trouble happens, I will let you know." Merve pointed at her earring. "And you said that no one will dare to dump dirty water on my head."
Corey\'s eyebrows shot up in surprise. "Dirty water? I don\'t remember saying anything like that."
"You said that everyone will treat me nice because they see me as a White, so… that\'s the same." Merve said with a smile and walked toward the exit where the restrooms are swiftly, before Corey changes his mind and follows after her.
Corey looked after Merve and wondered, how does her brain work? Does she really think that if someone does not treat you nicely, they would dump dirty water on you? Girls are strange.
Corey saw two girls walk in hurried steps after Merve and he wondered if they are rushing to the restroom or maybe their goal is to reach Merve. He contemplated going that way, and waiting in the hallway, just in case. Would Merve be upset for him going there after she told him not to? She said that she will contact him if anything happens.
Corey was distracted when someone called…
"Hey, Corey!"
Corey turned toward the voice stiffly. He knows that is one of the two troublemakers in the classroom, Kevin Beaty. His family got rich quickly five years ago using some sketchy tactics, and that boy is bolder than his status provides. Based on the amount of smugness in Kevin\'s voice, Corey concluded that Kevin is with his henchmen, Nate. Nate\'s family is from Florida and Nate\'s parents are trying to conceal that they are in decline by sending their firstborn to this high school for the elite. Corey is confident that Nate is relieving some of his frustration by acting out.
There are rumors that Kevin and Nate are involved in several thefts and assaults, but they didn\'t get in trouble for any of it. However, Corey is aware that Kevin and Nate give each other boosts of confidence and that they can be ruthless.
"Hi Kevin, Nate…" Corey didn\'t try to look like he is pleased to see them approaching.
Kevin grinned at Corey. "How about you introduce us?"
"You want me to introduce you to someone?"
"To your date." Nate explained.
Corey\'s expression darkened. "You want me to introduce you to my girlfriend? Are you tired of living?"
"What\'s with that reaction? She is just a girl." Kevin said playfully.
Corey balled his hands into fists. "Merve is not just a girl. She is my girl."
"Uuuu…" Nate and Kevin made exaggerated mocking sounds.
Corey told himself to calm down. Allowing these two to get under his skin means that they won. Corey readjusted his expression and glanced at Nate and Kevin smugly. "Why would you want to meet my date? What happened to yours? Don\'t tell me that you are each other\'s dates. Are you not capable of finding a date or maybe you are…" Corey pointed from Nate to Kevin, insinuating that they are gays.
Nate and Kevin frowned, and they were ready to burst into an argument, when a voice came from the side…
"What is going on here? Can we have one evening without trouble?" Victor Miller asked breathlessly. It was obvious that he saw that the commotion is about to start, and he dashed toward them before it gets worse.
"There is no trouble." Kevin grumbled, displeased that the class president is meddling. "We only wanted to get introduced to Corey\'s girlfriend, and he got a bit defensive. But he will introduce us…"
"Dream on." Corey cut off Kevin.
"Let\'s not have a commotion." Victor pleaded. "Can we agree that you part ways here and stay out of each other\'s hair for the duration of this event?"
"If they stay out of my way, I will not start anything." Corey responded and walked away without waiting to hear what the other two will say.
"Can\'t you two control yourself?" Victor asked Nate and Kevin.
Kevin snorted. "You told us to behave at school. This… is not a school."
Victor exhaled. He used all his influence and connections to get Nate and Kevin to behave in school. A few times there was a scuffle in the schoolyard, but those two troublemakers said how that is outside the school building, so they didn\'t break their deal. And this… is definitely outside school grounds.
"Yes, it\'s not school." Victor responded. "However… look around. There are cameras everywhere. If you start something in this event hall, it will be in the morning news. Is that what you want? Don\'t tell me I didn\'t warn you."
Kevin and Nate gritted their teeth. They don\'t like it, but they must admit that Victor is right.
Victor saw that Kevin and Nate nodded and he walked away, grateful that he managed to pacify them.
"Are we letting Corey go? Again?" Nate squeezed through his teeth. "It\'s not often that we get a chance to approach him without his bodyguards or some other security around."
Kevin agreed. Corey always has bodyguards with him, unless he is in school, but there they have security provided by the school. The school had to provide extensive measures which include security checkpoints, cameras, scanners, and security personnel, otherwise, most of the students would bring their own bodyguards, and there is no way that a school can operate under such conditions.
"You heard Victor. There are cameras in the event hall. So, what we need to do is catch him in a place without cameras." Kevin said while giving Nate a knowing look.
Nate licked his lips and smiled. "Let\'s not catch him alone. That girl… She is sweet."
Kevin smirked. "I agree. She is sweet."
"I saw her first." Nate protested.
"Let\'s talk about it after we have her. Maybe we can get Corey to watch…"
