“Ohh. I totally forgot. I’ve been busy, and a lot is on my mind. I’m sorry.” She replied to him as she smiled, leaning to place a peck on his cheeks.“Is Gaby okay with you? She has been acting out of the blue since yesterday, she didn’t come home, and she didn’t say anything about it.” He added as she leaned away, his eyes containing concern as he stared into space.Elena’s brows earned a raise at his words, “she didn’t come home?”“Nope. When I called, she said she was passing the night at James' place. Didn’t say anything than that.” He replied.“I called her, and she said she’s with James. So she’s not lying about that for first.” Elena added.Craig sighed before turning to face her, a small smile on his lips.“Just be with her and always talkRelated chapters

Elena stood up from her chair immediately as the bell rang for the end of the period. “Elena,” the teacher called out, still packing her books and surprised to see her up. “I’m sorry. I just have to use the toilet so bad.” She had forgotten about the teacher since she slept through the class, only standing up when she heard the bell. The teacher eyed her as she walked out of the class, leaving Elena to continue with her main purpose of standing up. “Hi Sarah, want to talk for a while?” She said, tugging her lips into a small smile as Sarah eyed her. They both walked outside after, stopping a few steps away from the class door and facing each other. “What’s wrong?” Sarah asked, the distaste on her face visibly shown. “I get that you don’t like me with Matthew or you don’t want to see us together. He’s only yours because you have a fucking crush on him. But going out there and spouting shits of the things I did to t

“What?” Elena and Silver said together.“I knew that if I acted like something was wrong with me. You guys would take your eyes off the boys and finally focus on me. Not to mention, I know Craig has something to do with this. He loves me more than himself.” She added, leaning back as she smiled with her teeth.Silver and Elena stared at her, their expression unreadable.“Are you for real or saying this to escape?” Silver was the first to talk.“Let’s go shopping then,” Elena said to Silver, sitting straight as she faced the front.“Alright.” Gaby replied from the backseat.“Did you see the post they wrote about you, Elena? I know Craig asked them to take it down, but did you see it? It was wild.” She said from the backseat as Silver started the car again.“Do you have it? I’ll like to see it.” Elena retorted before Gaby passed her the phone.**************Craig picked up Elena the next day at her place, dropping her off and pecking her before going to the basketball field.

Things didn’t look like they would get better for both Elena and Matthew, and it pissed Elena off. Instead of focusing on getting their relationship to get on track again, he was busy frolicking with Sarah, always on her beck and call to the extent that the school gossiper was now thinking that Sarah was Matthew’s new master.“I thought you guys ended the fight. Why does it look like the fight just begun?” Gaby started as they walked into the school.Elena rolled her eyes as she walked past her, her hand on the straps of her back and pulling it closer to her back. “I don’t want to talk about it,” she muttered.“Sometimes I wonder if you guys are just friends or if there’s something you’re keeping from us. The look between you guys, it has this deep sense…It was at this moment that Elena saw Matthew standing beside Sarah’s locker and talking to her. He looked at her locker and passed her a little wave that did nothing more than anger her more.“Gaby, we’re just friends.” She interrup

“That's a tough one, Bianca.” One of the guys said as the whole class burst into laughter.Elena’s lips curled up, staring at Bianca with a victorious smirk on her lips.“Would you like to return to your seat?” She asked, raising her brows after.Bianca scoffed out, her lips contorted into a dangerous and angry smirk.“Fine. I’ll do one of the things you said and have them bring it to you. But brace yourself. It might not be funny like you think it is.”“I don’t think it’ll be funny either way. So just try to be better in that aspect.” Elena replied.“What’s going on here?” The teacher's voice rang out before Bianca could talk.“Bye,” Elena said, adding a little mockery wave for Bianca as she walked to her seat.Everyone scrambled to their seats as the teacher walked to the front of the class. Silver rushed inside the class halfway into it, catching Elena’s lance and mouthing some words to her.“We need to talk.”**************Elena has not been settled ever since Silver mouthed the

“I thought your friend was the one dropping the notes in her locker. That’s what she said this morning when I saw it.”“Nope. He likes her, but he’s also scared of her at the same time. I don’t think he has the balls to drop it inside her locker.” Craig replied, the four of them seated on the chairs of the basketball court.“So how are we supposed to know who has been threatening her?”“Gaby never talks. She won’t say shit even if it means killing her on it. I remember when she first moved in, she didn’t tell anyone the reason why she wanted to move away from her other school.”“I thought your parents moved away, and that’s why she had to move?" Silver butted in, exchanging glances with Elena.“Yeah. They moved. But she wanted out of the school even before they did.”“Was she being bullied, or something went wrong?” Xavier asked.“No one ever knew. And that’s why my dad asked me to be a big brother to her. I didn’t have any problems tho. He married her mother, and she became my sister

“Happy Birthday, Gaby,” they all chorused, walking towards her simultaneously.The hall was larger than Gaby had expected. She looked at their faces one after the other, each radiating with smiles.“Wow. This is too big. Who put everyone up for this? Craig?” She called out, looking into his eyes.He reached her first, engulfing her in a hug and pressing his lips on her forehead.“I love you step sister.” He muttered to her.Gaby’s heart warmed as she heard it. They were not siblings, and he took her in as his own. When her mom told her about remarrying, the first thing that came to her mind was the family they’ll be getting married to. If they’ll accept her, and if the son her mother claimed he had would be nice to her.The first day she got to the house, he was not around, but when he got back, he arrived with many things. She remembered him standing in front of her door, his expression stiff as it could be, and with a bag in his hand.“I don’t know much about girl's things but I got

“Where do you think you’re going to? To call your parents or to tell the school board you’ve been threatening a girl because you had leverage on her?” Craig half yelled at Bianca, silencing her immediately.She glanced at all of them, her eyes settling on Gaby after.“It’s either you tell them, or I do the telling. You guys are holding me against my will. You lied to me. You called it a fucking birthday party you wanted to attend with me! And now you’re bringing me here…“Would you like it better in a court place? Because I assure you, things can get more interesting there.” Elena cut her off, stepping forward to meet her.“Enough of all this!” Gaby yelled out.“You’ve all heard what I did. Let her go, and let everyone go. I’m so sick of all this, not to talk of…” she glanced at them all, shrugging and allowing a scoff to escape her lips.“It’s my fucking birthday. And you guys decided to ruin it by you trying to help me. Thanks.” She finished as she walked towards the door.“She did

The whole school seemed different to Elena the next day. It was as if everyone was minding their business and ensuring nothing happened. Just like how she took an Uber yesterday, she was already calling one when Silver arrived at the front of her door and asked to ride with her. They didn't say anything to each other throughout the ride, and as she packed her car, Elena muttered thanks to her before dashing out of the car.She had several messages from Craig, but she was not in any mood to reply to anyone. Gaby hadn't texted, she didn't say anything, and it kind of hurt her, making her think she didn't really care about her. Like she thought, everything was just fake right from the start.“Elena, have you heard what’s going on?” She suddenly heard Silver say beside her, eyeing her as she halted in her steps.“What’s going on?” she questioned, continuing her walk immediately.“Check the gossip forum. Seems Craig was serious when he said he would involve their parents. And if you didn’t

Dani was getting annoyed every minute as the lecturer told stories.His phone rang beside him and he picked up the phone and started talking in hushed whispers. After a while, he turned to everyone in the class and wore a fake smile.“We will have to end today’s class here,” he said, and walking out of the class or rushing out of the class would be better. Dani flung her bag over her shoulders as she attempted to rush outside but someone blocked her way.“Hey Dani,” the guy said with a small smile and Dani sighed.“How may I help you, Adrian?” Dani asked and the guy smile.“Today is John’s birthday so we made a small party for him and invited a few people, I was wondering if you wanted to come,” Adrian said and Dani scoffed. John was in her department and one of the most popular guys at school but

Damien wiped his sweaty hands on his jeans as he drove into the garage. He turned off the car and sighed.“Are you that anxious to meet my mom?” Dani asked as Rai burst into laughter.“I’m not anxious just careful” Damien replied with a smile as they got out of the car.“Careful my feet” Dani sneered as she burst into laughter. Ria smiled at Damien as she took his hand.“Don’t mind Dani, my mom is not that scary” Ria said and Damien laughed.“I know right,” Damien said as they walked into the house.“Mom, good evening,” Ria said as she pecked her home.“I see you brought a friend,” Mrs. Mahmata asked with a small smile.“Yes,” Ria said with a smile.“Mom, this is my boyfriend, Damien. Damien, this is my mom” Ria said as Damien debated on which expression he was supposed to make. He ended up making a weird expression as he greeted Mrs. Mahamta.“Good evening ma’am” Damien greeted as Mrs. Mahmata narrowed her eyes at him. Damien could feel the sweat running down his back as Mrs. Mahmata

Ria twirled her pen as she turned to Damien “I was waiting for you to come back that’s why I haven’t filled out my application yet” Ria confessed.“Jason told me you hadn’t so I didn’t even collect my form yet,” Damien said and Ria smiled.“We think alike too much” Ria cooed and Damien pecked her before tapping her nose.“So which uni are you doing?” Damien asked and Ria shrugged.“I was about to ask you” Ria replied and Damien wriggled his eyebrows at Ria.“I’ll go anywhere you go” Damien replied and Ria chuckled as she opened her phone and scrolled through the list of universities.“What do you think about TAS?” Ria asked and Damien shrugged his shoulders.“Anywhere you want to go baby” Damien replied as Ria shook her head.“Bristol Univeristy then,” Ria said and Damien shrugged. They both brought out their forms and started filling them out. Damien filled his form with his right hand as his hands found Ria’s skirt. His hands went inside her skirt and Ria sucked in a breath as she

“It’s everywhere on the school forum,” Ava said as she scrolled her phone.Damien shrugged his shoulders as Ria fed him a fry “You know how active the school forum had become since Hazel became the president” Damien said and the girls burst into laughter.“Arianna Mahmata!” Zara yelled as she stormed into the cafeteria startling everyone. Ria frowned upon seeing Zara and Penny.“How shameless will you become? You stepped down from being the captain as if you wouldn’t do anything. What the hell did you tell the cheerleaders?” Zara asked as Ria slowly rose to her feet.“Shameless?” Ria asked as she stepped out of her seat.“If anyone should be asked who is shameless I think it should be the both of you. I thought you guys were my friends yet all along I was called a snake and a viper by my friends. I gave everything and did all a friend does and gives to her friend as a friend, I helped you every way I could but what did you guys do? You stabbed me in the back neatly” Ria said as she tu

Ria was the first to get to school the next day. She smiled sweetly at Ava who started clicking pictures of her immediately.“Girl you are glowing” Ava exclaimed and Ria laughed.“Is it because he asked you to marry him yesterday?” Ava asked with a smile and Ria’s smile grew wider.“Maybe, who knows?” Ria asked as they sat down.“Where’s Janet?” Ria asked as Ava scoffed.“She’s like you. if you can’t find her, you won’t see Jason” Ava replied and Ria laughed.Ria raised her head when she saw a shadow fall over her and she snickered seeing Gabriel. As Ria had said, his popularity had hit rock bottom after that day, his friends stopped talking to him, and he was also benched by the soccer team. If he didn’t play in any matches soon; it would really be hard for in to get into a soccer school and talk less of a top-notch one.He had no option but to seek out Ria again. They definitely had to date again even if it was for show. Gabriel gave Ria a small smile as Ria glared at him.“What do

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. Damien couldn’t express how he was feeling. He didn’t feel free, he was just calm and he tightened his grip on Ria’s hands as he drove toward his apartment.He had her beside him

Damien rubbed Ria’s back comfortingly as he pulled her along and walked after the burly men. 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. Isn’t it time to let me go?” Damien asked calmly as one of the men laughed.“It’s hard to let one of our strongest fighters go just like that,” he said and Ria frowned as she looked at the man disgustingly.“Just like that?

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. He chuckled lightly; these people had finally pushed him to the wall.He walked at Ria who was lookin
