Barbies Are For Losers

Chapter 4 - Eyes On Her

*Natalie's POV*

---

After a minute has passed since they went into the club, we followed them inside the place like ninjas.

Thankfully, the door people know Derek. He is just a regular customer and I have no idea if what he's been hunting here.

"Where are they now, Jo?" I asked Jolene as she makes her eyes smaller to look clearer in this very dim crowded room. Geez, we are kinda looking for a needle that is lost in a grassland.

"Eleven o'clock. Where is Derek?" She answered and asked for the gay. Where is he anyway?

I pulled out my phone and dialed his number. We should have brought a walkie-talkie with us to make our communications a whole lot easier. Or just some earpieces.

"Keep an eye on her. Where is this prick?" I told her and cursed as the other line is just ringing. Why is he not answering his damn phone?

"Oh, he's with her," Jo stated and I looked to where she's looking at.

"Strike one." She let out as we saw our ever so active gay friend shooed away a guy in his twenties to approach our target. I can really count on them.

"Do you want some drinks, Lovelies?" A man asked behind us and I bet he's a bit tipsy.

Jo declined and continued to spy on the group of girls who are sitting at the farthest portion of the club. Everyone has their partners except Ruby Falcons and Georgina. Well, Ruby's boyfriend is the DJ.

I really wonder why she's still single after all these years. Like, come on, she's eighteen and she's so effing perfect.

Oh, I almost forgot. I kept making those boys and girls who are drooling over her get distracted with my minions. I just love my friends s***h classmates. Kudos to Heather, Jayden, and Kelsey.

"Strike two." She uttered and my lips formed a smile. This is so much fun.

"We should get closer to them." She told me and I held her arm to stop her.

"No, we should not get too close. They can recognize me." I stated worriedly and she took off her beanie. Then, she put it on my head and patted me like a puppy.

"Thanks," I whispered and she dragged me with her through the sea of people.

"Do you want a drink? How about we dance?" A young man asked our target as he sat beside her.

Their couch is right beside ours and her back is on us.

My hands formed into fists and I felt a soft hand touched my thigh.

"I got this," Jo stated and stood up to go, then, flirted with the asshole.

She winked at me as she finally convinced the guy to dance with her instead.

Then, I took a sip on my beer and acted busy scanning my phone while my eyes are on the blonde.

"How are you doing?" Derek asked as he took my beer and chugged it down without leaving any content. He's damn sweating.

"I still wanna dance with him, but I remembered I still got a job to do. Where's Jojo?" He let out and I pointed to our friend who is busy grinding with a girl on the dance floor. WTF?

"Okay. Seems fair. I'll just get some drinks. Do you want something?" He said and asked me.

"You freaking consumed my beverage, b***h, and you are asking me if I want something?" I told him and he made an 'o' expression.

He finally left and I went back to as if I'm scrolling my phone.

---

I almost jumped out of the couch when someone sat on my lap.

"What the heck, Jolene!" I cursed as she leaned into my face and almost kissing me. What the f**k is she doing? She f*****g knows that I am off-limits. Is she drunk already?

"She's looking here. You should transfer your location. And, here." She whispered while her face is three inches from mine and made me wore some eyeglasses. Where did she get this from?

We are now about five meters from her location and I wonder what she's been doing there.

"Stay here and give me a beep if you need help. Wait, I'll just set my phone to vibrate." She told me and change her phone's settings.

"I've been looking for you, Bitches! Here." Derek let out and about to hand me my beer, but Jo snatched it from him and chugged it down.

I looked at Derek with pouting lips and he handed me the bottle that he is holding. Damn, it works every time.

"f**k you!" I cursed as I tried to drink from the bottle and found out that it's empty. Nice gals I have here.

"Oops, I gotta go." He said and exited as he saw a girl that is looking flirtatiously at our target.

Jolene also left and I am left alone in our expensive space.

I just hope that no one would come here and ask me out to dance or even talk to me.

I scanned on my phone but still stealing glances at our target.

Then, my soul almost escaped from my body when someone wrapped their arms around my neck from behind and kissed my cheek.

"Damn it, Jo!" I exclaimed and she took off the beanie that I'm wearing and replaced it with a black snapback. Where is she getting these things?

"Why are gorgeous girls are lesbians? f**k it! I should really start being a lesbian." I heard a guy cursed as he walked away from our space.

Alright, my friends are not just looking out for my girl but also me. I could not ask for more. They are just simply the best. Except for the catch after this. That's what best friends for, I guess.

"Now, you look gayer. And, you can get closer to her. Good luck." Jo stated and fixed the glasses that she stole from someone earlier.

"Okay, I just uh, I think I have to go to the washroom. Mayb---" I began but she cut me off while playing with the collar of my flannel shirt. She really knows how to do this kind of job.

Another man down and she's been staring at the dancefloor.

"Damn, our target has been abducted! We gotta go there." She yelled and stood up to head to the dancefloor where my eyes are glued to an asshole who is biting his lip while dancing with my girl. That should be me. f**k this s**t! I'm gonna beat him up.

Jo held him by the shoulder and he turned around and was greeted by a hungry-looking bisexual girl. Thanks, Jo!

I thought I can now breathe, but a girl went near her and they are now dancing to the loud music that Paul is playing.

"Hi, lonely?" A girl asked me while she's starting to jive with the music.

And, I just realized that I am standing in the middle of the sea of dancing, grinding, drunk people.

"You should dance, or we could get to a place where you are comfier." I heard her say but my eyes are searching for the blonde nerd. Where the F are you now?

I walked out from that dungeon and continued to look for our target.

Then, I felt relief when I saw her sitting in their space earlier. But then, another girl went to sit beside her. Why can't they just leave her alone? I should be the one sitting next to her in this kind of place and trifling with her and kissing and whatnot. f**k it!

And, I was lost in my trance when I saw Jo sat on her other side and had a chat with her.

I saw my best friend's hand motioning me to come closer and pointing at the b***h beside my girl.

Oh, she wants me to get that chick. Okay, I can do this. I have to do this. I need to do this.

As I am about three meters near them, I saw the chick stared at me intently. Well, she looked familiar though. And,

"Natalie?" She called out and as fast as a wink, I turned around, then, started walking in a different direction. I bet Georgina snapped her head in my direction.

Damn, who is that girl? f**k it, f**k it, f**k! Now, she got a hint that I am strolling in this club and stalking her. Geez, what should I do?

I have felt a vibration in my jeans' pocket and I pulled out my phone.

It's Jolene.

"G8 ursef som1 to dnce / hrry." I read her text message and I think she wants me to cover up something. Oh, to dance with someone.

I searched for some faces on the dancefloor and found my favorite gay best friend.

"Hey, Lovely! You look hot tonight." He uttered as I snaked my arms around his neck and started to move my body with the music.

"She knew," I muttered, and he paused and blinked multiple times.

"Kidding?" He asked and I shook my head 'no'.

"Okay. Are we in trouble now?" He asked as his eyes went to search for something around.

"For sure," I replied and took a very deep breath.

We are in deep trouble. Why did that girl know me? Maybe she's a schoolmate. Definitely.

"Oops, six o'clock. What should we do?" He let out frantically and gave me wide eyes.

"Ummm, just dance," I told him and he did what he is told.

"Two meters." He whispered and I am currently panicking. What should we do now?

"Almost here." He stated with a very tiny voice and I buried my face to his chest. Damn it! Can this night be more perfect?

Derek wrapped me in his arms and tried to dance us away from where we were.

---

When we are far enough from her, he let me go and dragged me away from the dancefloor.

"s**t, that was close." I cursed and I am literally sweating like f**k.

"You should stay out from here, Nat. You are in grave danger if you stay any longer. Where is Jojo?" He told me and asked for our pal.

"Yeah, I guess you are right. I dunno, maybe she's somewhere near GV." I answered and he ordered a can of soda from the bartender.

"Here. You wait in the getaway vehicle and we'll handle her." He told me and opened the soda, then, handed it to me.

"Okay, thanks," I told him and he tapped my shoulder as he walked back to the dance floor.

---

"Wait in the car. I'm doing great. I'll just be good as dead by Monday. Damn it, she saw me! But I guess she didn't." I mumbled as I walk to my parked car.

Oh gosh, what should I do? She will prolly think that I'm stalking her or worse, uh... f**k this!

"f**k more! My keys! Damn it, Derek!" I cursed as I just remembered that the key of my glorious baby is on that dork. Can my life get more miserable than this?

I sat on the car hood and took a sip of the soda in my hold.

"Should I really ask her out? Maybe. What if she'll decline? Absolutely. She hates me. Ugh... This is just so frigging, oh..." I kept talking to myself, and then, I suddenly remembered that I got a spare key hidden somewhere under the bumper.

"Got it! You are so damn smart, Natalie." I rejoiced as I can finally get in my car. It's freezing out here.

---

I must have fallen asleep while waiting inside my car when I heard someone knocked on the window.

It's them.

They opened the door and they looked at me without saying a word.

"What happened?" I asked them sleepily and they took their seat.

"You have fallen asleep," Derek replied and I gave him an unimpressed look.

"To your mission, not to me," I stated and they looked at each other.

"It's fine. They left already about ten minutes ago." Jo answered and I sighed.

"Hey, it's gotta be fine.“ Derek uttered and gave me a sympathetic look.

"I just dunno if what she'll think of me. Damn it!" I let out and Jo reached for my hand.

"We aren't so sure if she really saw your face. Don't worry about it too much. You'll be fine." She said and that helped me feel lighter.

"Yeah, just stay cool and play dirty," Derek added and I glared at him.

Maybe I should just handle this with confidence if ever she'll bring it up on Monday or whenever.

And, I should really make a move on her. But, I have no f*****g idea where to start.
