CHAPTER 5
The Unexpected EmbarrassmentIrene's POV
I immediately stormed off to my friends' table after the commotion. I was almost near them when they noticed my brisk walking.
"What happened to you?" Jennie asked, curious of my action. I didn't respond tho as I immediately sat and caught my breath.
I saw Joy had a glass of beer on her side of the table. She was about to drink when I took it from her and drank it all instead.
They looked shocked. I am not usually like that. I don't do things abruptly or impulsively. I have always been a planner and to witness such a scene like that must be like an impossibility unfolding before them.
Rose' decided to break the silence and asked again "Hey, are you okay? Did something happen?" She asked while Jennie went to my side and slowly ran her hand along my back.
"Yeah, just... some random guy harrassing me", I replied.
"WHAT? Where is that guy? Did he touch you inappropriately? Did he make you consume anything? Tell me, I''m gonna report him!" Jennie angrily asked me.
"Hey, relax I'm okay. No, he didn't touch me. I also didn't drink anything. He just grabbed my arm too tightly."
They immediately checked on my arm as I said that. I noticed that the part where he grabbed was bruising.
"It's red. We should apply ice on it. Joy, can you ask for ice cubes from the bar counter?" Jennie asked Joy.<
