“Hey! Vivienne, I like your dress!” Lyzie greeted me upon my arrival at Kingstone High School's entrance.
KHS is one of the most prestigious schools in L city. Students here were the children of wealthy families.
“Thanks, Lyzie.” I smiled at her.
“I guess that’s the latest design.” She said, pointing to my dress.
“You guess it right. Not even out in the market.”
It's wash day, so we are not in our uniforms. It's about time to show my friends my new dress. My family—the Alfonso—owned a big laundry company in L City. It was easy for me to have the latest wardrobe before launching it in the market.
“Carrie and the rest will be thrilled to see you.”
I just smiled at what Lyzie said. I am excited to see their envious reactions.
We walked side by side as we went to our classroom. We've been chatting about everything when a girl, holding an ice cream, came out of nowhere. She accidentally slides her foot and deliberately throws the ice cream towards me.
I screamed in shock as I felt the ice cream rolled down from my chest to my lovely dress.
“Oh my! I'm so sorry, Vivienne!” cried a soft, scared voice on the floor.
“It’s you again!” I yelled at Anne.
Anne is an introverted classmate of ours. She was always on the side, doing her thing. And I don’t care about her as long as she didn’t cause me inconvenience.
“Look what you've done, you shithead!” I screamed on her face.
Lyzie handed me wet wipes to clean myself. At the same time, Anne stands up on her own.
“Don’t you know that’s the latest style? You can’t buy that anywhere in the country unless you wait a month!” Lyzie said.
“Well, Lyzie. How would she know? She doesn’t even know how to doll herself.” I irritatingly said as I fix the mess.
Anne, the weirdo, just bows her head. I could tell how embarrassed she was since everyone in the corridor was looking at us.
“Oh my God! It's chocolate flavor! My dress was ruined already!” I cried. The wet wipes just made it horrible.
“Sorry. I'm really sorry.” Anne whispered.
“Your sorry couldn’t do anything to fix this. Why don’t you just stay on the side and do your shits! Lousy people like you shouldn’t be straying out here. So, you wouldn’t inconvenience others!” I yelled at her and turned towards the locker’s direction.
I have no choice but to change into a simple attire I had on my locker. I can’t walk around having this mess on my dress. Damn, that stupid menace! She just ruined my day!
I was about to walk to my classroom when my phone rang. Mom was calling. I lazily picked up the call.
“Hey, Mom.” I greeted her.
“Viv...” her sad voice called me.
A long silence came. I occasionally heard her sob, yet she didn’t say anything. And like a brat, I couldn’t bear it anymore.
“What is it, Mom? Just tell me, or I'll drop the call. I'm on my way to my class.”
“Sweetie… your Dad.”
I suddenly felt nervous with her tone. She was crying on the other line.
“What happened to Dad, Mom?”
“He…” Mom sobbed again. “He hanged himself and died on the spot. He was dead. Your Dad is dead!” A loud wailing came over.
I felt like I got numbed that very moment. I was so shocked that I couldn’t move.
What is going on? Why would Dad hang himself? We’re a happy family. We're almost perfect. Why is this happening?
“Viv, hey, what’s going on?”
I barely heard Lyzie. Everything just went black.
When I opened my eyes, I was in the clinic. Our maid was there to pick me up. The rumor about what happened to my Dad had quickly spread to the whole KHS. I don’t have the guts to face my schoolmates, so I decided to leave without saying a word.
“Mom! What happened?”
Mom greeted me upon my arrival at the funeral home. I was still in shock while hearing her explanation.
“I saw him hanging in the bathroom. He killed himself! I guess it’s because we’re already bankrupt.” Mom cried as she tried to explain everything.
“We are broke, Vivienne! Everything was lost! Your Dad sold the company and even the mansion just to pay all his debt. He had become addicted to playing casinos and didn’t notice he had gambled all of our money and assets. It was too late when I found out what is going on.”
I stumbled on the floor. This is not happening!
The burial ended without my friends visiting the wake of my father. I guess they already knew we are already bankrupt. I don’t know what is going to happen after this. The mansion was already sold, and we can only stay there for a month. But where are we going to move?
I heard our relatives from my father’s side blamed Mom for Dad's death. And they hated us. They said we are being cursed. That’s why we are now suffering. My Mom’s mother visited on the second day of the wake and didn’t attend the funeral.
I was expecting the worst.
When I come back to school, I was greeted by a group of students throwing me garbage and calling me a loser. It seems the news of my family’s bankruptcy spread all over the campus.
I didn’t mind them and went to my classroom only to be ignored by my friends. I was about to take my seat when Carrie suddenly took my bag and throw it in the corner.
“What’s wrong with you?” I angrily asked.
“Are you going to fight me, loser?” Carrie slyly smiled while looking down at me.
I know why she was acting like this. She thought I was just a lowly poor person. And sadly, that was true.
But my pride would not let me back down.
“I don’t have time to talk to you. Go away.” I shrugged her off.
I was about to take my seat when she suddenly pulled it away. It’s too late for me to realize it. I fell to the ground. I felt my hips were hurting while my classmates were all laughing.
To my embarrassment, I ran away and left the campus. I was on the road when a rushing motorbike suddenly appears before me. It seems the driver tried to avoid me, but his tires slide, causing him to fall. I got startled and worried about the guy from the motorbike and forgot about my current situation. His helmet was thrown on the sides.
I took the helmet and hurried to the driver.
“Are you okay?”
The guy turned to me. He was bathing in his sweat. I gasped. He was so handsome even in that state. His eyes were dark and penetrating. His nose was just so perfect, and his lips were so… so kissable.
What?!
The handsome guy seemed surprised to see me but hurriedly stands up when we heard voices coming from somewhere.
“He was there! Go! Catch him!”
I was dumbfounded when the guy suddenly took my arm and pulled me up. I don’t have a choice but run with him.

Vivienne“Run!” I heard the guy hissed at me while we were running together.I looked back and saw a group of guys running towards us. It seems I've got myself into trouble. What is happening? Why are those guys running after him?I hurriedly took back my arm from the guy and ran the other way. I saw the group of students runs in his direction. I finally get away from them. Catching my breath, I leaned on the concrete wall of the building while hugging the helmet.The helmet?Oh, my!Only then I realized that I am still holding the guy's helmet. Whoever he is, I don’t want to entangle my life with him.

Raylie “What are we doing here, Raylie?” Logan whispered. All the three were tiptoeing as if looking for something or someone. “I was looking for helmet girl,” I said while looking around the lobby on the ground floor. “Huh?” Loki frowned at me. “Is that the girl you said you run away with when Jax group chased you?” “Exactly,” Thore answered, leaning on the wall near the registry office. “Why don’t we just asked the command department to track the girl down?” Loki suggested. “And what the hell did you need in her? Don’t tell me it’s because of your helmet?” “Give it a rest, you brute. You can buy even a hundred pieces of the same helmet. Why still chase for the girl?” “I was just curious why she’s here. The last time I saw her, she wears Kingstone High School uniform.” I honestly said. I was just curious. That girl must be wealthy too. KHS isn’t just an ordinary s
Between Two Titans Chapter 4- New school, new trouble
Vivienne I've been walking for almost half an hour. I can’t see where my classroom is. It’s my first day at Brixton University, and I think I am lost. The University was so big. It’s four times bigger than KHS. They have college extensions, that is why. I've been asking some students about my classroom, but they keep giving me the wrong way. I suddenly felt something wet down. My eyes grow wide. Oh, my! Is it the day? I checked the date and remembered when did the last time I have my period. “Oh my God! It must be today!” I am starting to feel stomach cramps. This must be it. I run towards a building, holding my stomach that was hurting. I might find a comfort room there. But I didn’t saw someone was coming my way. I was too focused on my goal of finding a washroom. I bumped into something hard. No! It’s a man. And his phone was thrown on the pavement. “What the heck!?” My eyes g

Vivienne “You!” The guy with the same face yelled. “You are the one who broke my phone! How dare you escape with me?” He angrily pointed at me. “So, that’s what is she talking about earlier.” Logan laughed and brushed away the guy. “She was asking me if my phone has broken. I was weirded out at first. But now I guess she thought I am you, Loki.” “Grr! You must pay for running away from me.” Loki hissed at me. “How did you get her, Logan?” “I’m sorry,” I said before Logan could say a word. I bowed, holding the hot compress. “I was in a hurry awhile ago. But I'll pay for your phone's damage.” “Silly girl, my twin wasn’t asking for money for the phone, but the compensation of escaping him.” Logan laughed at me when I gave him a questioning look. “He… what?” “You escaped him, and you paid the price.” “Can we talk about it later? I need to attend the class.” I handed the hot

Vivienne “Know your place, bitch! You are not supposed to hang out with them.” “Szane was right, Vivienne. Titans were the untouchable students of Brixtons. They were the most famous students who came from well-off families. Actually, their families were the biggest sponsors of this University. Only elite students were supposed to be with them. And not someone like you, whom we don’t know where you came from.” “Looking at her, she looks like she came from slumps. I heard our new classmate was under a scholarship program.” Another girl stepped closer to me. She even tried to smell me and pulled a disgusted face. “So, that must be the reason why she stinks.” “Yeah. I could smell garbage here. Let’s go, girls before we could catch any virus coming from this rat.” The girl named Szane disgustingly said and turned away from me. I felt terrible. What did I do that they seem to hate me at the very first time?

VivienneJax leaves me on the concrete pavement and stands up to meet Raylie. I don’t know if I should be thankful he came and fix his mess with this crazy guy. Or should I just yell at him for bringing me into this situation? But my stomach aches like crazy I tried hard not to collapse in pain.The group of students takes the plunged towards Raylie. Things went out of control. I just realized they were fighting each other. Jax group have paddles on their hands while Raylie wasn’t armed with anything. But I was surprised by his strength that he quickly finished them alone. Students, together with Jax runoff while throwing a lot of threats and curse towards him. It was just then that the school security came to our aid.“Tss! Weakling!” I heard Raylie smirked.He approached me. “Hey, are you okay?”“What do you think?!” I snarled at him.I suddenly winced in pain when I fe

Vivienne It was Thore. My mouth fell open as I looked up at him. He was so tall, over six feet, and such a handsome guy. His warm eyes were as if sparkling while gazing down at me. “Are you hurt?” A gentle but cold voice came over. His eyes were warm, but his voice was cold. But I know he was better than his friends. “Huh?” I was suddenly trapped in my own little world for about three seconds before I finally managed to answer. “No. Not really. I was chasing my scooter that your stupid friend threw.” Thore chuckled a bit and looked around us. I just realized that there are four shining cars lined on the street. “Who among them? They were all stupid.” Thore jokingly asked and glanced at his friends. “What? Who is stupid?” Loki impatiently complained. “Hey! Move your cars, you idiots!” An insolent voice roared. That was coming from the fourth car. I saw Raylie’s head peeping outside the car window.

RaylieI WOKE up feeling irritated the next day. The scene at the school still lingers in my head. That girl’s words bother me a lot? I should not care, right? Why would I feel guilty over something that happened already? I could not change it anymore.“Young master… it’s time to get up. You'll be late to school.” I heard one of the maids knocked on my door.Sheesh! How am I going to attend school when I haven’t got the right sleep?“Leave me alone! I'm not going to school!” I yelled without getting up.“Young Master, your professors said the examination was near. You have to attend school, even for just a week.”“Sheesh! Damn it! One more word and I'm going to fire you! And I swear, you'll never get a job anywhere in L City!”The door suddenly went silent. Good thing it did. That was always the magic word for our maid

Vivienne It’s been a month and I am always there at Raylie’s villa, taking care of him while sharing with him the lessons that we had at school. He insisted on making me stay in the villa and I agreed just because he has to recover from his wounds and fractures. I told him I’ll be back in the apartment once he is fully recovered. Sometimes, I thought he was just faking the pain already just to keep me in the villa. His face was totally healed and he can walk already. Sometimes he was still limping and complained he was in pain but I usually caught him walking straightly. Just like now. He was walking on the pavement in his garden. It’s Saturday morning and we usually hang out in his garden during weekend mornings. I fished out my phone from my pocket and took a video of him walking. Then I silently walked towards him. “Boyfriend!” I yelled behind his back. Raylie seemed to be startled and stopped walking on the pavement. He started to

Raylie When I opened my eyes, I was in a hospital suite. Vivienne was there. And her eyes were red. I guess she was crying, again. “Oh, my God! You’re awake!” Vivienne quickly hugged me. I gathered her to my chest. “How long have I been asleep?” I whispered. “Almost twenty-four hours.” “And I guess you were crying for more than twenty-four hours. Look at your eyebags. Did you even take a nap?” “How could I sleep? You haven’t woken up since you collapsed in the building!” She hissed and let go of me. “And what kind of brain do you have? Why didn’t you call the police? You should not go there alone!” Vivienne started to nagged. “Right, you should not go there alone.” Logan entered the room together with Loki and Thore. “You’re such a fool! Wh

Raylie I asked Vivienne to live in the condo unit I took for her but she insisted on moving into the old apartment they used to live in. She said she paid for the rent for the whole Spring season. She felt better staying in the place where she paid with her hard earned money rather than in a comfortable condo unit that I provided for her. I don’t get it but I just agreed. After what just happened, after what we faced, I don’t want us to fight again. “It’s been a while since we went to the park together. I want to go there again.” Said Vivienne. It’s already dark. We enjoyed hanging out together with our friends. We went to the mall after school, played arcades and ate dinner together. It’s been a while since we laughed like that. And it feels so good. “Aren’t you tired?” Vivienne shook her head. “I wanted to go t

I turned to her, stunned.“How did you get this?” I asked her.“I made a deal with Dad and Mom just to get that, your cards and for you to go back to school. So, you should do better at school starting tomorrow. Don’t skip school ever again, understand? You go to school and don’t do something foolish or you’ll be locked here again.”I sighed and plopped on the bed. “How can I do that? The only reason why I am coming to school wasn't there anymore.” I lazily closed my eyes.Thore and the twins told me that Vivienne and her family moved to a small town far from here. I tried to come to her but I couldn't. And even now that Chloe made a deal with our parents, I am certain Dad won’t let me come to wh

Vivienne St. Louis was a fishing village. How can Mom make pickles here? I sighed. It’s been three days since we moved here and Mom hasn't found a job. Me as well. How can a highschool student find a job in a small town like this? I sat on the wide seawall while watching the sundown. It’s always like this everyday since the first day. Mom would go to the shoreline to buy a bunch of new catched fish and she would sell it in retail at the town. While Vianna transferred to the nearby school. I felt sorry for Vianna. I know it’s hard for her too. And me, I don’t know what to do. I haven’t processed my papers from Brixton yet. All I just want is to escape from there. I sighed. I was thinking what are they doing right now? Were they happy? Is everyone celebrating the newly engaged couple? How about Raylie. Why didn’t he come that night? Thore said that it’s Raylie

That’s what the master told us.” Every exit was being guarded. I was about to come and meet Thore and Vivienne that night but my father’s men blocked me. My Dad even informed them to fight me if I insisted on going. As long as I am alive, it’s fine even if I am hurt. And that’s fucking bullshit! They arrange my engagement without my knowledge! I was surprised to hear the announcement. And I am sure Vivienne was confused as hell. I wanted to explain to her. I wanted to tell her that I will break the engagement even if it will cause me and my parents to disinherit me. I don’t care! My parents were already controlling Chloe’s life and I won’t let them do it to me too. I start

Vivienne I was surprised to see that Mom was home when I came. I thought she’ll going to scold me for coming home late but she just asked me if I wanted to drink milk before going upstairs. “Why are you still awake? Were you waiting for me?” I felt guilty about that. I waited for nothing while keeping my Mom awake and waiting for me to come home. I am sure Vianna told her I went to my classmate’s birthday party. Mom gave me a soft smile. “I can’t sleep. That’s it.” Her voice was sad. I went to the counter top and sat across from her. I realized our things were packed. Why did she pack it? “What’s the matter, Mom? Is everything alright?” She smiled at me again. Then her tears rolled down. “We paid for the next month’s rent, right?” I nodded. “Actually, we pa

Vivienne We were starting to enjoy the party when the center stage was suddenly lightened up. The host took the microphone and started the show. He first presented the birthday celebrant, then the parents of Szane. I don’t know what else he was talking about but it seems to me that the party wasn’t all about the birthday celebrant but also the announcement of how their family businesses were going. “Raylie, your Mom asked me to bring you to their table.” Loki said. He just came from somewhere after taking a call. “They were here?” Raylie asked, confused. “You didn’t know?” He threw his head back then turned to me. I don’t know what to say. Raylie took my hand and pulled me to stand up. “Come. I’ll introduce you to my parents.” I started to panic and slipped my hands from his grasp.
Between Two Titans Chapter 106-The party.
VivienneIt’s the night of the party. Raylie picked me up at the expensive salon he rented to accommodate my needs. Well, I don’t need anything to get fixed. A light makeup and slight curls in my hair were just enough. I don’t want anything fancy. But all the simplicity I wanted had been covered with the elegance of the red gown that Raylie bought for me.Even the stilettos stand out. I don’t usually use heels but I guess, the occasion asked for it. I once wished to dress up like how I did before. And I guess, tonight is the best time to do it.“Gosh! Your prince was already waiting for you, Ms. Alfonso. Hurry up!”Suzette called out for me. She’s the one who did my hair and make up.“Thanks for everything, Ms. Suzette.” I said with a wide smile, giving my reflection a final glance.
