Chapter Twenty Four

                                    

                                          
"Are you Bailey?"
I turned around from the bar, surprised!
A pair of unfamiliar girl's stood in front of me.
One was ink black haired, the other brunette.
Both stood just a little taller than me.
"Uh... yeah..."
I hesitantly agreed.
"Bailey."
I twisted back around to find Kyle had placed my drink onto the bar.
"Cheers, Kyle!"
I smiled and grabbed the glass.
Kyle nodded at me and moved off to take more order's from thirsty patron's.
Turning back around, I found the girl's were still there.
Who the hell were they and how did they know me?
"I'm Adina."
The black haired, green eyed girl, wearing a short denim style dress, extended her right hand.
"Hi."
I shook her hand.
"Peyton."
The blue eyed brunette wearing high waisted black shorts and a loosely fitting white tank top shook my hand next.
"Hey."
I shot her a smile too.
Adina shot a look over her shoulder.
"Blayze... told us to introduce ourselves."
I followed her lead to see the guy's were still at the same table, but a pair who looked suspiciously like twin's had joined the bunch.
"Oh did he now..."
Thank's Blayze, for sending random girl's my way!
Adina turned back to me.
"We're new here. Tyron and Xalan wanted to come home."
I looked between the pair quizzically.
"Tyron and Xalan Reynolds?"
"Yeah."
Peyton nodded with a small smile.
"In all honesty, I don't personally remember the boy's."
I admitted with a sheepish smile.
"But I know I'm supposed to, from my childhood..."
"Boy's! They'll love that!"
Adina giggled, an amused twinkle in her green eyes.
A blush coating my cheeks, I smacked a hand to my forehead.
"Sorry."
Peyton nudged my side.
"You're all good!"
"You girl's alright over here?"
A tall guy with light brown hair and light blue eyes stood slightly behind Adina, placing his hand's gently onto her hip's.
"Hey, I don't bite!"
I held my hand's up in surrender.
The girl's laughed!
"Bailey Harley all grown up, right?"
The smile the guy wore was magazine worthy, showing a set of white teeth and a slight dimple to the right, small laugh line's visible in the corner's of his eyes.
Adina frowned and lightly elbowed him.
"Don't be rude!"
"Yeah mate!"
I lifted my chin haughtily.
The two girl's and the guy laughed!
"I did re-meet ya at the Rodeo the other week. I'm Tyron."
The guy extended his right hand around Adina.
"Bailey. As you apparently already know..."
I shook his hand.
Tyron turned his gaze to Adina.
"Whaddya wanna drink, Babe?"
"Ummm... Vodka and orange?"
"Sure."
Tyron nodded.
He turned to his brother's girlfriend.
"Peyton?"
"Vodka and Raspberry?"
Ah, so they're both Vodka girl's...
Gross.
"Sure."
Tyron moved behind Adina and up to the bar.
Halfway there, he paused and turned to us.
"You look like you're good, but d'you want another, Bailey?"
I smiled quickly and shook my head.
"No thanks."
"Righto."
He stepped up to the bar.
"Shall we go find a seat?"
Peyton suggested.
"Let's grab Hayley and Noah first and then we can."
I agreed.
"Sure!"
The girl's agreed.
Adina took the few step's to Tyron to let him know our plan.
Good little girlfriend...
                          
Hayley, Noah and I slipped into one side of a booth, me being the one sandwiched in the middle. 
Adina and Peyton took the other side.
"Awe! I feel old!"
Adina whined, having just learned she was the eldest at nineteen.
We all laughed!
Noah rolled her eyes.
"Nineteen's hardly old. Try the talk that happens when you're sixteen and start dating a twenty-four year old."
Peyton's eyes suddenly just about popped out of her head!
"You're sixteen?!"
"No."
Noah shook her head.
"I was when Codie and I first got together."
"Oh."
Peyton nodded.
"So who's dating who?"
Adina asked, looking around our new small group.
"Um, I'm with Codie..."
Noah said stirring her straw in her drink.
Adina nodded.
"She's the only one out of us three who's dating."
Hayley chimed in.
"Bailey could be, but she keeps em at arms length."
She gently elbowed my side.
I rolled my eyes exaggeratedly.
"You're full of shit."
"She's not really."
Noah piped up.
"Mason was all over you, that punk dude from the chocolate place is keen..."
"Ooooh!"
Peyton cooed.
"I'm not interested."
I lifted my drink to take a sip.
Adina raised a questioning brow.
"Got your sights on someone else?"
I nearly choked on my drink!
Coughing on my sip, I set my cup back onto the table and cleared my throat.
"No."
I shook my head.
"You and Blayze seemed close earlier, up at the bar."
Peyton said with a mischievous twinkle in her eye.
Ah shit!
"Oooh!"
Noah cooed, eyes sparkling.
I shook my head, hoping against all hope that the heat I felt in my cheek's wasn't visible to the girl's.
"Bailey and Blayze are always like that. You'll get used to it."
Hayley said with a smile.
"Shhhh!"
Noah stage-whisper scolded her.
"They're supposed to help me get them together! I'm sick of being the sore thumb couple!"
We all laughed!
I rolled my eyes.
"Sore thumb couple?"
Adina asked.
Noah rolled her eyes.
"For over a year, these two have been single and it's just been me that's got a partner with anyone we can hang out with!"
"Ah."
Adina nodded.
