With a busy life, research to conduct, and a social life that had become more captivating, here I was, listening to how their fight went . It definitely wouldn't work out."You should have seen how we dealt with them. I'm sure they'll never mess with us again," Antonio boasted."I can assure you those guys will never come near our warehouse again," Marco chimed in, prompting laughter from the group."You can never be too sure," John cautioned calmly, as if recalling something from his past.

"Those guys will be spending their years in the hospital."The laughter rose in a chorus, but my dad spoke up in agreement with John. "They've

2018CLARA Andrew approached me with a cheerful demeanor, a wide smile spread across his face. "Hi, Angela," he greeted me. "It's been a while. It's kind of like you left school," he joked with a laugh."I mean, I haven't really been seeing you around," he continued, attempting to regain his seriousness."Oh, I've been around, just been really busy with other things," I replied with a casual shrug."Oh, I see," he said, seemingly oblivious to the fact that I had just seen him walking out of the closet.

They walked in proudly, all dressed in obviously expensive clothes. Lily and Ava wore short skirts and tops with flats, while Rosaline wore a cute blue dress and long boots. All eyes were on them, their presence alone commanding respect and intimidation. They were used to the attention, and they basked in it.
