Hayden's handsome face twisted to an ugly growl when he heard this. He couldn't believe what Axel had uttered.
He plonked down next to Silas who held him stable out of respect. He couldn't help but gaze with a humorous glimmer after he had gotten himself. His heated words were chiding and he couldn't help but blurt it all out. "You this white, redneck, hillbilly, inbred piece of shit!" Hayden growled abrasively. Hayden stiffened his face as he seethed with more boldness even though Axel looked like a trapped bunny amid wolves like the hardy Boyz. Heat crept up Axel's throat and face because he was pissed off about all the perturbation he was getting from them. He watched as Ryan winced as she tried to remove herself and mulled over their relationship. Deep down, he had thought she was contrite about what she had done, but he knew that her conscience pricked her. "If only she had stayed a little longer with him before she bubbled him, she might have had to enjoy his riches but it was too late," He mumbled inwardly. Axel mulled over how they had both been together in hard times and tears threatened to burn behind his eyes. His head reeled so fast and he felt giddy that his knees almost gave away as he felt gnawed at reminiscing such a painful memory... Three Years Ago Axel and Ryan sat side by side abreast of each other on their desk, alone in the class. They had just finished a class on history by Gertrude Greer. Ryan's cheeks blushed. She knew that Axel was going to ask her out. Her heart was pounding against her ribcage so loudly that she could feel the blood thrumming in her ears. Axel had approached her like a romantic predator with confidence in his steps and she quivered whenever he was present. Axel's eyes flung wide open. He knew he had to man up and confess his feelings to her. "I do like you because you are a spindling pretty damsel and I want you to be my woman," Axel said effusively and their gaze Locked. Ryan felt she was melting under his gaze as goosebumps prickled and danced throughout her skin sending shivers throughout her body. "I like you too," Her lips curled into a sweet smile as he cupped her cheeks with his palm and kissed her lips. Ryan's lips quivered. Axel knew despite his current status, it wouldn't stop him from pursuing the woman of his dreams. Present Day "Hayden, he must be lying. I am very sure of it!" Silas retorted in a very belligerent and hoarse voice. "I'm not, and if you can please excuse me, I have classes to attend," Axel's stomach flipped as he glanced at the students who halted to watch what was going on. Everyone's jaws dropped since news passed that he was expelled and it had never occurred to one who had been expelled before to be given a letter to return. "Come on! You gibbering idiot!" Waylen cussed out. Axel was pissed off by all their tirades and was eager to leave their midst. "You are going to do something very simple for all of us and return to the garbage you came from!" Hayden Japed as he shot a sinister glint through his eyes. "Ha! Ha ha!" They all sneered and scoffed at Axel including Ryan which made Axel bewildered because he thought that her consciousness was correcting her for a second. "You heard him!" Rowan added as he appeared like a predator to attack Axel. Axel didn't cower a bit or flinch backwards but stood with his eyes fixated on them all. Brack! Hayden slammed Axel's head one more time before he repeated himself. "I told you to return to the garbage you are coming from, don't let me repeat myself anymore!" Hayden caveated as he shot heated stares at Axel. "I already told you, here is the letter of my approval to return to the school and you can check it yourself," Axel was coerced into giving the letter to Hayden and his pals. They grabbed it with a shrugging grunt as they skimmed through. In a blur of shock, Hayden's jaw dropped as he glanced through the contents. "Ooh, my goodness! This is ridiculous. The owner indeed has paid his school fees and has granted his approval into the school and it's so appealing!" He stuttered as he announced to his pals. Their jaws dropped and clenched in disgust and disbelief at what Hayden had uttered. "How is this possible?" Ryan's lips twitched upwards in curiosity. It was too subtle to believe and she knew that it might be inexplicable for Axel to explain the issue into clarity. "Check the contents for yourself! because I know you both aren't blind," Axel Japed as he chuckled sadly and inwardly. "Now, how in the world did you get this letter? Don't tell me that you begged or created a fraud letter," Hayden seethed through clenched teeth as he felt his spine burn. "Nope! I didn't you dim-witted, grumbling fool," Axel cussed. "Then what must have happened? I mean there must be an explanation definitely no matter how it's inexplicable to explain," Ryan blurted out in distress. She knew how awful it would look to her when Axel returned to the school and how it would be really serious. News had spread around like wildfire of her new relationship with Hayden the head of the hardy Boyz in school and that's why Axel's presence would only make her feel uncomfortable and make things more complicated. "My uncle also works there and it's with his influence I was able to return," Axel lied trying to be surreptitious about his plans to ensure that his real identity is being hidden. "Ooh, that must be a big lie! You are fiddling with cheap tricks so you could return to the school," Hayden belligerently tore the letter into a blur of shock pieces. "No don't!" Axel was too late to stop him as Hayden was too swift. "Now, there is nothing left to get back to school with," Hayden and Ryan Japed at Axel...Principal Oberon Collymore massaged his temples as he mulled over at his desk in his office. Duncan Hillside High School had been a heavy load to carry and manage as the principal, but he had to do it nevertheless. His brows furrowed, as he chewed the temple tip of his recommended glasses in his palm and put them on his back. He glanced through the list of aced students he had planned to award soon. He stumbled across Axel's name and nodded his head. He heard about the news and he had so much hope for Axel, but felt bad that he had to be expelled. He knew he couldn't undermine the command that Elias gave as a senior member of the board, and he had to comply. He felt contrite about the fact that he was the one who gave the expulsion verdict. He gritted his teeth, as he mulled over how Axel must have felt all this while. He was known to be very friendly and sympathetic towards the students, too bad his powers and authority were limited when it came to issues that the full board w
Oberon jolted at his desk as he heaved a shuddering grunt. "What! How? When!" He barked succinctly. Drew nodded his head succinctly. "Yes, principal. We had just departed from him after we exchanged greetings when the news got to us and we had to report to you before we took the next step," Drew added. Oberon's knees became like rubber as he whimpered in distress. His hands quivered as he heaved a heavy breath. "Where is this happening?" He spoke succinctly. "At the school field," Drew, Quinn and Charmaine said in unison. Oberon waltzed out of his office immediately towards the school field with a plethora of anxious thoughts flushing through his mind. Drew, Quin and Charmaine followed after briskly because they knew this time they must stand against the hardy Boyz in a polemic manner. Oberon waltzed into the school field in a panicky manner. Even though his job as the principal of the school was threatened, he knew that wasn't the cure reason why he would love to do Birch's bi
A state of anxiety rippled through the air as everyone wondered who Axel was to Oberon and why Oberon would take his side. Axel's Pals, Drew, Quinn and Charmaine waggled close to him to comfort him because of what he had gone through. He was indeed in a mess. Oberon's eyes glittered with sadistic emotions. He couldn't believe that he might have partially failed in his task, as Axel was still assaulted and everything went tit-up. Oberon's head cringed as he waggled contritely towards Axel's side. "I'm sorry, I didn't know who you were, but now I do," He said in a very hush and hoarse voice. Axel's friends were dumbfounded and felt bewildered that Oberon was trying to hoodwink Axel into thinking he was supporting him over Hayden and his guys. Axel understood and chuckled inwardly as a sly grin appeared on his face. He knew he had to be subtle if he still wanted to shield his identity even from his closest friends. "Drew, Quinn and Charmaine, you can leave now," He flashed a perf
Axel was scoffed at because he looked so unkempt and scraggy. It was supposed to be Gertrude's history class and everyone was in anticipation of his arrival. He frowned deeply and inwardly where he sat. His best pals weren't present in class because of an impromptu group meeting outside history they had to attend and they took excuses. He would have had someone to talk to, to feel less bad. His palms pressed hard against his chest as he wished that the cacophony and fracas could end in a second. The jest made lumps grow in his throat which made him feel uncomfortable. It got to a time when his cheek burned in anger when he couldn't take it anymore and bobbed his eyes shut. Hayden and Ryan alongside the hardy Boyz stormed into the class. Axel's eyes twitched because he felt bad. The corner of his lips fell towards the floor. He was prudent enough to hide such emotions. Even though he was the emotional type, he was very confident in himself that he would be able to get over her
Gertrude waggled into the classroom with a scowl on his face. He knew that Hayden and his pals were up to some unscrupulous acts again which he strongly detests. His presence caused the cacophony to halt succinctly. He honed in towards Hayden with his intense eyes as the whole class got ready for the lecture. Drew, Quinn and Charmaine returned and waltzed into the class from the meeting they had in the group. Hayden's lips stuck out playfully because he knew the mischief he had created. Gertrude seethed through clenched teeth and hissed with disgust as he flipped open his textbook to start with the class. His tone was laced with coldness as he skimmed through on revision of what they did in the last class. When he was done with the class, he waltzed out in a caveating manner to Hayden and the rest of the hardy Boyz... Axel was gleeful to return home, then towards the hospital to inform his foster mom about everything that had happened. Oaklynn growled with exasperation after A
Charmaine lips quivered and she had no choice but to stutter with her words. "What's that..." She shuddered. Her stomach flipped and her eyes became more flickering as she blushed. "I think I do care about you more than a friend. I do like you, and I want us to be more intimate than we have already been," Axel pronounced making her feel a thrill in her heart as he shot a piercing gaze at Charmaine which made her jaw drop. "Ooh, okay," Charmaine said and they stopped dancing and she shot a desiring look at Axel also. She knew that Axel had a sparkle in his eyes that intrigued her. "I do like and care about you also at first, but I wasn't sure you were ready for a relationship and that's why I didn't bother telling you," Charmaine summoned boldness to express her feelings effusively. "Wow?" Axel stuttered, his tone laced with astonishment and his ears perked up in delight. "Yes," Charmane replied gazing deeply into Axel's eyes and Axel, like a love predator before his prey gave he
"Who would dare suspend you?!" A wave of fury rippled through Elias as he clenched his fist in rage. "Principal Oberon of course! Dad and I do not understand what's going on," Hayden croaked out bitterly. "Then it must be a misunderstanding. Just one phone call and everything would be in order," Elias rumbled, perturbed at what he was being told. "I just hope, because I am just wondering why that puny little turd of a young man, Axel who was a new student would be favoured over me in a case," Hayden grimaced as he exited to his room. Elias's wife, Rita came in afterwards from the kitchen in a concerned mood. "I heard Hayden's voice. Don't tell me he is at it again, him and his unscrupulous acts once again?" Rita let out a low puff. "Come on, shouldn't Hayden be given the regard he deserves as being our son? Now that good-for-nothing, Principal Oberon is threatening to suspend him," Elias yipped under his lungs. "All am saying is you shouldn't support him yet when you haven't hea
Charmaine felt her stomach clenched at the presence of Ryan and pondered about the main reason why she wanted to see her. "Wouldn't you speak? Or weren't you the one who wanted to see me?" Charmaine said impatiently. "Hmm, I can see that you and Axel are finally a thing. I knew it was right to suspect that you both had something for each other even right while we were still dating," Ryan croaked out with her hands around her waist. Charmaine was startled and shot up from the chair in astonishment. "You are so delusional to believe that Axel would cheat on you. Even if we had some sort of feelings for each other while you both dated, it still didn't change the fact that you cheated first simply because of money," Charmane yipped. Ryan let out painful laughter and massaged her temples to tame her temper for the time being. "Yes, isn't that true? You think I don't know that even though I and Axel are now a couple, you still have feelings for Axel, but you quickly changed to date Hay
