READY TO BE PLAYED SEASON 2 : CHAPTER 1 – THE END
Episode 13
💧Bailey Hadid💧
“Don’t go to that party”. Tyler said all of a sudden.
I turned to him. “Why? She was being nice, that was odd but still”.
“Trust me, you don’t wanna know why”.
“Then why warn me if you won’t tell me the reason”.
“Ryder doesn’t know that its you, that you are his Bailey that he’s been waiting for”.
I looked at him confused. “Well yeah he doesn’t know yet but is it connected to this party issue?”.
“I have a feeling that Riley must have planned something harmful out for and of course, her brother is going to help her”.
“Wait. Ryder is going to help her in taking me down?”. I asked scared a little bit.
Tyler shrugged. “He doesn’t know its you so of course, he’s gonna do it. Anything for his twin sister”.
“Oh God! This is bad, very bad”. I said to myself pacing about.
“And I think there’s only one way to solve this”.
“Which is?”.
“Tell Ryder your real identity”.
“No way”. I bluntly refused. “I can’t do that not after dealing with Seven first”.
“Forget about Seven for once, your life is at stake”.
“Oh please”. I scoffed. “Whats the worse that Riley could do to me? Humiliate me by shoving my face in a toilet?”.
“What? No, she could make some group of guys beat you up. Thats what Riley could do to you”.
“Is she that bad?”. I asked him eagerly.
“Yeah”. He nodded in response. “Really bad”.
“Damn it!!”. I cussed angrily. “I only came to make someone’s life miserable and now that bitch wants to attack me”.
“Bailey, for once, just forget about why you came back to Springfield. Besides, I think the whole revenge idea is lame”.
I crossed my arms. “Lame? You are only saying that because I didn’t include you?”.
“It doesn’t matter if you include me or not, I am saying the truth. If your idea was to just separate us as friends then you don’t need to”.
“Yeah, about that … “. I faced him. “What really happened to the five of you?”.
He shook his head. “I don’t want to talk about it”.
“Let me take a wild guess, its me”. I said sarcastically.
“Maybe”.
“I know its me, Tyler. Ryder said to me that a girl brought them together and then a girl separated them”.
“Hmm”.
He hummed in response as he went back to playing around with ball shooting hoops in the basketball net.
“You play really good”. I complimented him.
“Thanks”.
“You know, I could mention your name to my brother or maybe his manager”.
He stopped looking at me. “Huh?”.
“My brother, Owen”.
“Yeah, I know Owen”.
“He’s a professional basketball player and I bet his team could use someone like you”.
His lips curved into a smile. “You would do that?”.
“Sure”. I shrugged. “Anything for my best friend’s boyfriend”.
“Gosh!! Thank you so much, Bailey”.
He pulled me into a hug before I knew it, I sighed and reciprocated until a voice made us step away from each other.
“Was I interrupting something?”. Alvin asked walking towards us.
“Umm, No … “. Tyler glanced at me. “We were just hugging”.
“Yeah, I saw that”. Alvin responded coldly.
I smiled at him. “Hey Alvin”.
“Isabella. I didn’t know that you are this close to Tyler, I mean, hugging, isn’t that extreme?”.
“Dude”. Tyler warned him.
“I think I should get going”.
I walked out immediately so I wouldn’t be the cause of a fight within best friends.
I got out of the basketball court hastily but stopped when I heard my name called. I turn to see Alvin coming towards me.
I turn to face him. “Alvin?”.
“Hey … “. He smiled in response. “Well I just wanted to say hi”.
“Really?”. I asked him amused.
He chuckled lightly. “Yeah. So Isabella, are you free? For today?”.
“Why are you asking me?”.
“Well I, um, I was thinking if you and I can like do something together”.
I arched my eyebrows. “Like a date?”.
“Yeah, something like that though”.
“Alvin, you have a girlfriend and her name is Riley Tatum, remember that”.
“I know that”.
I sighed. “Alvin. I would love to hang out with you but I can’t”.
“What?”.
“Riley thinks that I’m trying to steal you away from her and I’m sure she’s on to me as for now. So I think its best if you stay away from me”.
“Isabella. What are you talking about? Riley won’t harm you, I’ll make sure of that”.
“Sorry but … “. I flashed him a smile. “You are still her boyfriend so I can’t hang out with you”.
He nodded sadly. “Yeah sure, I get it”.
I sighed softly and kissed both his cheeks before walking off in another direction.
I didn’t want to do that to him. Heck!! I’m bad at hurting people’s feelings. And right now, some part of me can’t hurt Seven.

I drop the last book in the shelf as I looked through the others anticipating for another better one.
Well I’m in the library right now. I don’t have anything else to do but read ahead of the semester exams.
I tried to find Katie so I could talk to her but she was with Riley. I can’t just go talk to her while she’s with that motherfucker.
“Isabella?”.
I turned to see him. “Sean? What are you doing here?”.
“I just came to check out a book so I can take notes on the … “. He trailed off. “Oh, I don’t want to bore you with that”.
“Oh no, its okay. I don’t mind”. I flashed him a sweet smile.
“You are kinda different from most blonde girls I’ve seen”.
“How different?”. I asked him as we walk through the aisle.
“Well for starters, you are way too nice and then again, you are interested in reading”.
I chuckled slightly. “Ouch!! Its so cliché that everyone thinks blonde girls are meant to be bitchy, you know”.
“I didn’t mean to sound that way though”.
“No, its okay”. I dismissed it immediately.
“So since you are here, then do you mind if we both read together?”.
“Sure”. I shrugged. “You seem smart”.
“I am smart”.
“I’m pretty sure your girlfriend wouldn’t fail any subjects because you are gonna help her”.
“Ramona doesn’t even care about her own grades”. He replied as we sat down.
“You have a girlfriend?”.
“Yeah, I do. But she’s not in this college with me”.
“Oh”.
And here I thought that he was going to fall for me. He actually has a girlfriend so that means he’s out.
I felt a figure hover and I look up surprised to see Ryder. He and Sean exchanged hate looks which got me confused.
“Come on”. Ryder tugged on my arm. “We need to talk”.
I yanked my arm away. “If you remember correctly, you called me a whore and I’m sure you don’t talk whores, am I right?”.
He frowned and then drew my chair back-wards pulling me up. I gave Sean a light smile before following Ryder.
“What the hell was that?”. I asked him annoyed.
He crossed his arms. “You don’t give up, do you? Its like you have some sort of degree in flirting?”.
“Hey .. “. I warned him. “Don’t you dare say another word to me about flirting, do you get that?”.
“I’m not here to argue with you. We need to talk”.
I crossed my arms. “I’m listening”.
“I know that you know about Bailey or like maybe you are close to her or something like that because you told me back at that food court that Bailey … something stuff”.
“And so what?”.
“You tell me where she is and I promise to spare you tonight”.

Episode 14
💧Bailey Hadid💧
“Why are we here?”. I ask Seven for the umpteenth time.
“Trust me, you are going to love this. I do it all the time”.
I sigh as he leads us to a booth purchasing some bunch of colored fireworks.
I step back. “Okay. Why do you have that?”.
“For fun”. He replies in a ‘duh’ tone.
“Fireworks are dangerous”.
“No, they are not. Who told you that? They are really fun to play with”.
I cross my arms watching him. “Yeah, right, keep telling yourself that”.
We walk away from the booth and then he lights two of the fireworks up. I gasp as it leaves the ground displaying different types of colors in the air.
“Ooh”. I giggle watching it. “Aha”.
Seven smiles at me. “You like it, right?”.
“Wow. Its so beautiful”. I mutter. “Now I see why you like it”.
“Hm. Watching them shoot up in the sly kind of makes me feel a little relieved when my Dad annoys me”.
“You are not in good terms with him?”. I ask remembering that company party.
Seven shrugs. “Only if he would listen to me. He wants me to take over the firm”.
“And you don’t want to?”.
“I want to free for while without having those responsibilities. I want to party, have fun, be the best I can alongside drinking with the love of my life”. He adds the last part glancing at me.
“So do you have a love of your life?”.
“Not yet”. He winks at me. “I still need to explore other girls”.
I laugh a little. “You are one hell of a damn player, do you know that?”.
“I won’t play you”. He moves forward. “If you give me a chance”.
I gulp moving backward. “Uh. What?”.
“Isabella. In this few weeks that I have known you. I__”.
“Just hold up there”. I say interrupting him.
“What ?”.
Shit. I can’t believe I’m doing this. I should play with his feelings and go along with this but I can’t do it to him. I can’t.
I breathe out. “I don’t like you, Seven”.
“I know that but if you__”.
“And I can’t give you any chance. I’m in love with someone else”.
“Oh”. His face falls in disappointment. “Oh, this is awkward”.
“I’m sorry”.
“Then why did you start flirting with me in the first place? And accept those dates?”.
What should I say? I wanted to take my revenge on you? No, thats so dumb.
“Um, look, cotton candy”.
I distract him from that question pulling on to his arm as I led him towards the booth.
I bought two big paper cones and Seven then paid for it. We walk towards another ride as I hand him one of the paper cones.
“So you this guy you like … ?”. He began talking. “How does he look?”.
I chuckle. “Seven. Seriously?”.
“Hey! I’m just curious, thats all”.
“Don’t worry, I’ll help you forget about me in a snap of fingers”.
“I doubt that”. He mutters.
“You’ll find the perfect girl”. I continue. “I’ll make sure of that”.
So that his heart won’t get broken because of me, thats the least I can do.
What was I even thinking? Coming back to Springfield just for some dumb revenge.
“Hey”. He pops into my head. “Are you not supposed to be at some party?”.
“Hmm?”.
“Remember? The frat party you got invited to”.
I smirk. “The bitch is never gonna find me there”.

🍭Ryder Tatum🍭
I sigh as I get into my car closing the doors behind me and then ignite the engine before driving into the cold evening.
I got to the frat party in minutes and then look over realizing how the driveway is so filled up and lines of car on the road.
Shit! Riley must be throwing one freaking frat party here.
I park my car by a curb and step out as I walk towards the frat house passing the sidewalks then up to the main entrance.
The outside is also filled with drunk guys and girls as well doing stuffs on the lawns.
I push the door open and storm in looking for Riley but loud music deafens my ear as I search around for her.
Where the heck is she? She’s the fucking host. Isn’t she supposed to be here?
I stop realizing that if Isabella wasn’t in this party then Riley isn’t as well. Goddamn it.
I storm out of the frat house pushing away tipsy girls as I head on back to my car. I got in and start engine again driving off.
In minutes, I was back in college and I park my car stepping out of it. I ran my fingers through my hair nervous as I walk towards the basketball court.
I step in to find Tyler there as always but with Katie instead. They were playing with shooting the hoops.
“Dude”. I walk past the bleachers heading to them.
Tyler stops seeing me. “Ryder?”.
“Do you know where Riley is?”. I ask facing Katie.
She shrugs. “I haven’t seen her in like hours ago. When she had an outburst and then stormed off to her dorm”.
“What about Isabella?”.
Heck yeah. I’ve admitted it. I care for that strawberry blonde bitch but I don’t know why?
Tyler looks at me surprised. “Did you just ask about Isabella?”.
“Do you know where the blonde is?”. I ask ignoring his question.
“Probably with Seven”.
I nod and walk on out of the basketball court remembering seeing her with Seven earlier this afternoon.
They are probably kissing by now. Heck!! I don’t even to picture that scene.
And then I head towards Riley’s dorm as I hoped she will be there.
I got there within minutes and stop hearing screams. I immediately open the door to see Riley tearing the room apart.
“What the hell!”. I cuss watching her.
She pause seeing me. “Why are you here?”.
“What happened to you?”.
“Alvin broke up with me and I know its all because of that stupid bitch, Isabella”.
“Everything is not about Isabella and you know it”.
She huffs angrily. “Well I choose to blame her”.
“You know Alvin doesn’t stay committed in a relationship and besides I’m pretty sure he must have been the one flirting with her in the first place”. I defended.
“Why are you here? Little brother, to defend that girl? Its funny how you’d rather help her than me”.
“And its funny how you are willing to ruin someone’s life just because of a guy, Riley Tatum, You are way much better than this”.
I watch as she threw things out, throwing Isabella’s stuffs on the floor. I sigh bending to pick the suitcase up when something falls out.
I pause seeing a glass case roll out of the top suitcase and then I open it recognizing the glasses immediately.
This was the same glasses Bailey wore when I saw her that evening in a hoodie.
