“What's wrong?” Elena yelled out.

Tears were full in her eyes, and the whole class was staring at her.

The girl who had tapped her was taken aback. She just wanted to tell her something and had not expected that reaction.

“What?” Elena asked again, eyeing her as a low hiss escaped her lips.

“Don’t bother,” the girl said before walking off.

Elena hissed out again, bowing her head back when she heard the teacher's voice. Why can't she just have a little time to herself before all of them ruin everything? Sniffing to herself, she fumbled for the handkerchief that was tucked inside her skirt, bringing it out to wipe her face before raising her head.

“Fuck!” she muttered to herself as she saw Mrs. Sarah staring directly at her.

“You dont mind standing up, Ms. Elena,” she said, a mischievous smile on her face as she said it.

Elena was not even interested in whatever had to happen in the class today, and without a reply to the teacher, she picked up her books and walked out of the class.

“Take a step further, and I’m failing you in this class.” she heard the teacher say, stopping her from moving another inch. She turned back with a bored look on her face,

“Mrs. Sarah, I’m not feeling too good today. If you want to punish me, I get it, but please shift it to another day,” She said, making a curt nod as she proceeded to walk out again.

“Another step, and that’s minus two from your snap test,” the teacher said, making the whole class gasped.

Elena turned to face her, her eyes wide open in disbelief, and moved to her,

“You have to be kidding.” She said.

“Another two off.”

“What!” she yelled.

“Another two.”

“Everyone should tear a sheet of paper. We’ll be having a snap test.” ms Sarah said, paying her no heed again. She turned to the board, writing the day's topic before looking at Elena, who was brimming with anger.

“Return to your seat, or I'll fail you permanently,” She said, a proud smirk at the edge of her lips.

Elena eyed her, walking to her seat and sitting in defeat. She tore a sheet of paper, writing her name on it; the teacher called her again,

“Elena, you’ll help us write the questions on the board. You don’t mind, right?” She said, making Elena huff out.

“Of course. At least I can help you with something you can’t do.” She muttered to herself.

**************************

It was lunch break, and Elena was seated alone in the cafeteria. Silva was busy in the art room, painting a picture like she does every time she’s angry and on a break with them, and it was clear she didn't want to sit or see Matthew for the main time, probably until the sex thing was cleared. Some tables from her were Jeremy and Freya, the witch, laughing together and showing each other things from their phone. The more she saw them, the more she wanted to stab her straw in her eyeballs. The way Freya laughed pissed her off. How was she so happy, even though she had just arrived at school? Elena remembered when she got here. If not for Matthew, she might never be able to fit in. The more she watched them, the angrier she got, and the more suicidal her thoughts got.

“Hi,” she heard someone say, dispelling her suicidal thoughts immediately.

She looked up from her strawberry drink to see the same girl who had touched her in the class and walked off after yelling at her. Looking close at her now, it was Sarah, one of the gentlest and calmest ladies in the class.

“Hi Sarah,” she replied, taking her eyes off her after.

She watched as Jeremy placed one of the chips Freya was eating into her mouth, making her scoff in annoyance. Why was she acting as if she didn't have the hand to put it in herself? She hated girls like her, who acted so weak in front of guys, and it was just so disgusting.

“Can I sit down here?” She heard Sarah say.

Sighing and turning back to look at her, she rolled her eyes before inching her chair away.

“It’s all yours,” she replied.

“Thanks,” she heard the girl mutter.

Looking at her from the corner of her eyes, she was either trying to make friends or had something to say. If she was for the latter, she was not interested; even for the former, she was also not interested. She was only interested in removing one of the witch’s eyeballs and teaching her a lesson.

“I’m sorry for what happened in the morning. I didn't know you were not in a good mood,” Sarah started.

Elena looked at her, her brows creasing as she bit her burger. She nodded in response, her eyes roaming the cafeteria, searching for someone.

“And Ms. Sarah can sometimes be a bully. You don’t need to take her words to her heart, and I’m sure she can't fail you.”

Elena was starting to feel annoyed. Was Ms. Sarah at fault? How would she have acted in the teacher's shoes if a student disrespected her in front of the class? It was already obvious what she was here to do today, find a friend. Elena swallowed the last bit of her burger, turning to give her all of her attention to blast her off.

“I have something to ask you,” Sarah said, her cheeks turning pink even before she started what she was here to say.

For some reason, this seem to catch Elena’s attention, shoving back the words she was just about to use on her back to her throat as she stared at the pretty girl in front of hr.

“What’s that?” she asked, picking her burger and taking another bite out of it.

Sarah looked at her, a smile blooming on her lips immediately as her cheeks got pinker. She looked away in another direction, one which evena knew too well.

“Tell me, what is it you want to tell me?” she questioned with a playful and daunting smile.

“It’s just that. You have such a good friendship with him. I've seen the way you guys talk and the way he holds you in high esteem, I just..

“Who?” Elena cut her off.

Sarah heaved a deep sigh, looking again in the direction Elena had caught her staring at before,

“I like him Elena. I like Matthew, and I was hoping you could help me become his friend.” She finally said, a sigh escaping her lips as a weight was off her chest.

The thought of it sounded cringe in elena’s ears after she said it, making her pick her bottle as she sipped her drink for a heavy amount of time before turning to face Sarah.

“So where do i come in inall this?” she asked.

“I dont know.. I.. jus…just..” Sarah started, stuttering as she stared at her.

“Probably when youre done stuttering, you can talk normally. I’m not in the mood to listen to any of this if you can’t talk normally.” Elena said, shifting the chair out and proceding to walk out.

“Help me make him my friend. Thats all i ask of you. I dont mind anything.” Sarah hurriedly said.

Elena stopped in her tracks immediately, a thought occurring to her as she turned to look at Sarah,

“Anything?” she repeated as evil sparkled in her eyes.

    “I’ll do anything. Everything to be friends with him.” Sarah said, standing up from her seat and shuffling her feet towards Elena.“Alright then,” Elena said, dumping her drink bottle into the dumpster as she eyed Sarah.She darted her eyes to where Freya and Matthew were seated before to find they'd stood up. Huffing the thought of where they might have gone away from her head, she looked back at Sarah, who was still in front of her.“Let’s go,” Elena said as she turned towards the cafeteria exit.She didn't know exactly what she would do to Sarah and how she’ll get her close to Matthew, but she knew she would do it. Matthew was a very picky person. He rarely talked to anyone. Elena could say that apart from her, he barely had any other friends. Well, and Silva too. And for Sarah to like him and approach her, she had done the right thing.“Where are we going to start from? Are we going to see him now?” Sarah asked, almost colliding with Elena.Elena stopped in her tracks, turning to

    “What!” Elena said, deep lines edging her forehead as she watched Matthew walk off.What had she said? Was she wrong in bringing Sarah for him? She just wanted the best for him. Since she had started walking with Matthew, she was sure that he had never dated any girl, nor had sex or even done anything. He only followed her around like a puppy; they went to school together, came home together, and followed her for her shopping, which was nice. She enjoyed the times with him, but the sex had ruined everything, and if he found someone for himself, it could make everything go back to how things were before.“Matthew!” she yelled, shaking the thought that she had overdone it away from her head, and picked up her snacks.As she walked out of the kitchen, Sarah was still seated on the chair, this time, her attention was on her phone, and she was busy playing Talking Angela.“Dont worry. Just sit down here and act all pretty. I'll get him down, okay? He can be shy sometimes,” Elena said to Sa

    The next day, Elena woke up early to her mother's yelling. She had left Matthew’s house late due to the discussions between him and Sarah. She didn't even get the hang of their conversation. She just saw they were so immersed when she wanted to get home. It even took time before she could dissect what they were talking about, only to find that it was some book game about their favorite authors.On the way home, Sarah said that Matthew had asked her if she wanted to hang out, and they might be hanging out together during lunchtime at school. Elena was more than pleased, and she had told Sarah to get to her house early tomorrow so they could both get to school together. But this morning, it was a different case entirely because her mummy was not having the hang of it.“Tell me, Elena, is it fun to embarrass your teacher or disrespect them? When did you even turn this way? Why would you just want to be a bully and make them report you everytime?” she yelled from downstairs.Elena grumbled

    Elena was very angry. Storming out of the school cafeteria with a flared nose, she didn’t even bother to ask the field they were on, she knew better where Matthew would take her too. The same field the both of them used when they wanted to be devoid of all the humans in this school.She was just angry when she had told him to share every down thing between them to Sarah and now he was taking it too serious. When she had opted for them to become friends, she didn’t think it would intercept her own friendship with him. As she got closer to the field, she could see their heads already, they were both checking something out. It made her more angry, and she walked towards them with her nose brimming and flaring in fire.“Hi Elena,” Sarah was the first to see her and she moved away from Matthew immediately.Elena did not pay her any attention, staring directly at Matthew’s face.“You didn’t call me for lunch, and Silver is busy with her project. Who am I to sit down with?” She said, looking

    The rest of the day went in a blur for Elena. She was annoyed to her bones and didn’t even focus on the rest of the class. She was the first to pick up her bag by the time they rang the bell, walking towards Matthew’s car and standing by the passenger seat. It made her look like she was picking up a fuss but she didn’t care. She was still the one in charge of this and the middleman for them becoming friends. When she is ready to let go of Matthew, she’ll leave him freely.After a while, she saw Matthew approaching from afar with some of his other friends but Sarah wasn’t part.“Hey..” he called out as he pressed the button of his car, unlocking it.Elena didn’t even bother to answer him, pulling the car handle and entering in front of him. She slammed the door close in his face, immediately reaching out for her phone to connect the music to the car.“What’s wrong with you?” Matthew asked as he entered.“Nothing.” She replied, scrolling through her phone.She had a playlist that Matthe

    “You cook so well,” Mr. Oscar said with a mouth full of food.“Thanks,” Elena’s mother, Clara, replied with a smile.Elena felt disgusted at their action, making her scrunch her face as she faced her food back, punching the fork inside. They arrived early, helped set the table, and also set the desserts they brought. He had brought his five-year-old son, one who talked more than a five-year-old should do. He had cute, curly hair, brown eyes, and puffy cheeks, but he was Mr. Oscar’s son, and she wasn’t sharing her mother with him anytime from now.“Are you going to get married to my father?” He said all of a sudden.The table fell into a sudden silence, and they all raised their heads to look at him. He had said something that all made them freeze when they just arrived, and this was the second time he was dropping another,“You look just like my mother. You have the same hair,” that was the first thing that came out of his mouth.Mr. Oscar was the first to drop his spoon, shifting his

    “Ahhh.” Elena woke up the next day with a banging headache. She fluttered her brows and sat up immediately, a low whine coming out of her mouth as she removed the blanket from her body.“Ahhh,” she groaned as she managed to get to the bathroom. Splashing water on her frowned face, she saw her surroundings and noticed she was in her bathroom. The lines on her forehead deepened as she tried to recollect yesterday's incident.“Elena, are you awake!” She heard her mum yell out as it further increased the pain in her head.Clenching her jaw and walking out of the bathroom, the door opened, and the sight of Clara standing in the doorway was the first she saw.“Hi baby, how are you doing?” Her mother said, a glass of water in her hand with a small plate.Elena nodded at her, taking her seat back by the edge of the bed as her mother walked to her.“Thanks,” Elena muttered as she collected the glass of water and the small plate.She took the pills and downed them immediately, squeezing her fac

    The whole week turned out badly for Matthew. He had not thought his week could ever go like this, starting from Elena forcing him to a party, Jeremy rejecting her, and him finding her on his bed again. Not in his wildest thought did he think he could have sex with Elena, not to talk of once, twice.“Fuck!” He cursed out, slamming his fist on the wall.He should have controlled himself. He knew how much he craved her. He wanted to be with her and bury himself in her now and then. But they were not together, and he even doubted if Elena saw him that way. She was pretty last night, and the images of her naked on the bed with the other guy pushed him. He remembered the sex night, how she had held him tight and asked him to go in deeper.He wanted all of that back, and when she kept persisting in the car. He packed at a corner and told her she would regret it before fucking her mindlessly. But he was unsure if she was regretting it because he was dreading what would happen next.“Matthew,

    Ria held Damien’s hand as they walked out of the old house. Ria took one last look at the house as they walked outside the house. Ria looked around and was surprised at the number of black cars in front of them.She easily recognized the dragon tattoo on the cars as the same one on Damien’s stomach. She allowed Damien to pull her towards one of the cars and the window was slowly wounded down.“Is it all taken care of?” a voice asked in the car and Damien nodded.“Yes, boss” Damien replied.“Hmmmmm,” the voice said.“Thanks, boss” Damien said his voice solemn.“Take care of yourself, Damien,” the voice said as the glass went up and the cars sped out of sight.“Who were those?” Ria asked and Damien smiled at her.“People you don’t need to pay attention to,” Damien said as he led Ria to the car and he drove off.

Ria watched as they led them to another part of the fighting ring.The area was surprisingly well-lighted and bright. There were rows of burly men with weapons making Ria latch herself to Damien.“He’s inside,” One of them said as Damien pushed the door opened and stepped inside the room.It was a large spacious office and there was a fan rolling as Damien and Ria stepped into the room. Three men were seated on the sofa in the middle of the office.“Damien, have your seat,” one of them said with a smile and Damien sat down and pulled Ria with him.“Mr. Lee, I have fulfilled our part of the agreement. I have as well also repaid my father’s debt.

    Ria watched calmly as Damien wore his gloves. She had watched Damien fight two times after the first time he brought her to the underground ring and she knew how good he was. But considering that after today he wasn’t going to be fighting again; Ria felt weird about it.She knew these people weren’t going to let him go just like that but Damien had assured her that he was going to be fine so she couldn’t do anything about it. She could only pray in her mind.“Don’t look like that, I’ll really be fine” Damien said and Ria nodded as she dropped a small peck on his lips.Damien tapped her nose as they walked out of the room. Everyone was yelling at top of their voices. He walked into the ring and raised his hands at the referee who checked him and Damien turned to his opponent. It was a young man who was a few years older than him. Merely looking at him, Damien knew he was the real deal.
