"Looking at you from up close, I bet there is no beauty that matches with yours," Aiden whispered to her face as he placed his hand slowly on her face and then began to trail her face with his fingertip.
Tiffany let out a dry smile and wonder what she could do to the trespassing guy. After a few seconds, when Aiden was still trailing down her face with his finger, she scoffed, placed a leg forward then suddenly flipped him over.
Aiden shouted in pain as his back landed on the wet floor.
Oh, lord.
This lady could be an assassin.
"I've warned you. Stay away from me, very far away from me. Once again, thanks for the ride... and the cloth. I'll return it after I wash it," with that, Tiffany hurried away, leaving Aiden who was still groaning in pain.
"Jesus," Aiden groaned as he forced himself to stand up.
"I don't deserve this at all. I really need to change my ways. I gotta be a bad boy," Aiden mumbled, his hands massaging his waist slowly.
~
Tiffany pressed her lips together as she walked hurriedly to the sandwich shop which wasn't exactly far from Western high.
However, she couldn't help but think that what she did to Aiden was bad.
God, why was she feeling guilty?
He deserved it, didn't he?
It's not like she didn't warn him to touch her, the guy wouldn't just listen to her and now she couldn't help but feel like she is a bad person.
Whatever, she is a bad person.
She sighed deeply as she felt her phone vibrating from her bag and stopped walking to remove the phone from her bag.
She smiled softly as she saw Zoey's name plastered across her phone with tons of love emojis. She remembered that Zoey had saved her contact herself.
As she picked up the call, she glanced at the time and bit her lower lips as she saw what the time says.
She had just fifteen minutes before she resumed work.
"Hey," Tiffany sighed as she increased the pace at which she walked.
"Babe!" Zoey screamed and Tiffany removed the phone from her ear hurriedly.
"Did you get home before the rain started?" Tiffany asked.
"Our family driver came to pick me up, so I arrived home before it started. How about you?"
"Don't even get me started," Tiffany shook her head as she heard the soft giggles coming from the other side.
"What happened?" Zoey asked.
"Aiden. That dude is so... Annoying!" Tiffany gritted her teeth and Zoey laughed loudly.
"You met him?"
"I was on my way when he stopped his bike beside me and insisted I hopped him that he was going to take me to my destination," Tiffany started.
"Don't tell me you declined," Zoey shook her head knowingly.
"Of course, I did," Tiffany frowned.
"That guy was just trying to be nice!"
"It's not like I asked him. To cut the long story short, I accepted when I have been beaten by the rain and he rode us to someplace where I waited till the rain stopped," Tiffany rolled her eyes.
"You're still going to deny the fact that he is sweet? Honestly, Aiden is not normally nice, I swear. He is not bad, neither is he good. Doing this to you means just one thing," Zoey shrugged her shoulder.
"Don't even... "
"He likes you! Trust me," Zoey interrupted.
" Whatever. I don't know what you are saying but I admit that he is sweet. He gave me another cloth to wear and even offered to take me home when I was leaving," Tiffany smiled unconsciously.
"Woooh! So, did he drop you already? Where is he?" Zoey asked.
"Well..." Tiffany scratched her forehead.
"I refused," she added.
"And he let you go just like that?" Zoey widened her eyes.
"I... I flipped him over and I left him groaning in pain," Tiffany bit her lower lips.
"Tiffany! You did that?!" Zoey screamed and Tiffany hurriedly removed the phone away from her ear then placed it back slowly.
"I know, I shouldn't have done that. I... ''
"It was very wrong of you. Promise me you'll apologize to him tomorrow," Zoey interrupted.
"No. Never. I will never apologize to anyone," Tiffany shook her head as she glanced at the sandwich shop that was ahead of her.
"Tiff..."
"I'll think about it. By the way, Declan is a swimmer, right?" Tiffany changed the topic.
"Huh... Yeah," Zoey shook her head slowly.
"When is he going to enter the pool? I mean when next is he swimming again?" Tiffany asked hurriedly.
"Tomorrow is Friday, so... Tomorrow. Why? What's wrong?"
"Tell me, does he use a separate pool?" Tiffany asked as she stood in front of the Sandwich shop, hitting her leg on the floor impatiently.
"Y... Yeah. But he has a lot of audiences when he swims. People love to watch him swim," Zoey nodded her head.
"Perfecto..." Tiffany smirked.
"What are you thinking, girl?" Zoey asked.
"Send me the direction on how to get to his pool and the time he'll begin. Please...?"
"What are you planning on doing?" Zoey creased her brow.
"Revenge."
"What?" Zoey questioned.
"I know where to get leaches. Hehehe," Tiffany chuckled.
"Tiff..."
"And... How do I join the school site? That place where everything that happened in the school was displayed," Tiffany bit her lower lips in excitement.
" Tiffany?"
" Send everything to me, please. I have less than two minutes to begin work. My boss is not exactly nice," Tiffany smiled.
"Are you not going to tell me what you are planning to do?" Zoey furrowed her brow in confusion.
"it's going to be fun, baby. Just look forward. Bye!" with that, Tiffany ended the call, opened the door, rushed inside, and met with the stern-looking face of her boss behind the counter.
"You are late by one minute," Amelia rested her hand on her hip, ignoring the customer that stood in front of her.
"It rained," Tiffany glared back at her then walked towards the little door that demarcated the staffs and customers.

Wesley>
Aiden strolled inside the living room, his hand still on his waist.
Damn, it hurt so much.
He hissed loudly as he remembered what the doctor he had just visited told him.
How the fûck would he not be able to play his favorite sport the next day. Racket.
He hadn't entered the field to play racket for almost a week and now he won't be able to play it tomorrow which he had placed so much hope in.
Wait, what was Tiffany?
How could she flip him over that way?
He could feel the pain in his back to his waist. Ah, no wonder Declan passed out the other day.
Who the héll would not pass out?
That girl was really a big deal. Just exactly his type.
"Dad," Aiden sat on the chair beside his dad who had spaced out as usual.
"Welcome, young master," the five maids that the Wesley mansion had hurried towards him and bowed.
Due to his father's condition, his mother had refused to hire many servants for the fear of them leaking it to the public which could ruin her reputation.
Reputation?
My foot.
"Where is mother? Is she back?" Aiden looked around, hoping to see any sign of his mother.
"She came back this morning but left about an hour later. She was with a traveling bag," one of them answered with a slight bow.
"Another business trip, huh?!" Aiden widened his eyes.
"I'm famished. Did you prepare anything?" Aiden waved his hand at them, yawning.
"I didn't know you were coming back today. We'll prepare something for you now," the chief maid answered.
"Ah, okay. I'll be waiting. Get me a drink, please," Aiden said and they all bowed before leaving.
Aiden stood up and grabbed the remote control that was on the table before him and switch on the Television.
"Dad, why is your wife like this? She came back from China this morning and now she had gone on another business trip," Aiden sighed as he looked at his dad who wasn't even having any bit of his word.
"Should I give her a call?'' Aiden asked then glanced at the maid that knelt beside him, pouring an orange juice into a glass cup.
"I seriously want to know why you are always this quiet," Aiden shook his head and grabbed the glass cup filled with orange juice.
"Did something happen? What did you release? You've always said you released something," Aiden asked, getting more curious than ever.
Aiden held his breath as his father turn to look at him slowly.
The look on his face was the look he was tired of already.
Fear. Anticipation. Guilt.
"I released him and it is coming for me," Theodore said softly.
" Who did you release?" Aiden leaned forward in curiosity then sighed when his dad looked away.
"This man sure won't say anything," Aiden inhaled then returned his gaze to the Television.
As he prepared to change the channel, the picture of his mother shooking hand with some man showed on the screen with the caption;
"The president of Wuhan Yuan has agreed to partner with Martha Wesley."
"Wtf!" Aiden widened his eyes as he finished reading the caption.
The last time he checked, Wuhan Yuan was one of the top 10 companies in china.
"Dad, you gotta tell your wife to take things slow," Aiden gulped his juice down his throat, not tearing his eyes off the screen.

Friday.
Western high school.
"Why is the school so rocky today? And are we not having the morning gathering today? " Tiffany looked around as she walked hand in hand with Zoey towards only God knows where.
"Today is Friday. Did you not have the timetable? No classes today. Today is for sports and every other blah blah blah," Zoey rolled her eyes sarcastically. "I'm in the PINK ANGEL singing group," she added.
"Huh?" Tiffany creased her brow.
"Rule number 7, Every student of western high must participate in every activity or shall be expelled," Zoey snapped her finger twice.
"What?! Expelled?! That is..."
"So, you'd better join a group before you get noticed and get expelled. You could join the ballet dance, archery, swimming, dancing, singing, name it!"
"But, I don't know where to fit it," Tiffany frowned her face.
"Dance! Join the dancing group," Zoey clapped her hands together.
"Dance? Who? Me? Oh, please," she rolled her eyes.
"Then learn archery. You look perfect for it," Zoey shrug her shoulder.
"Nev..."
"See, if the dean decides to be lenient on you, you will be pushed to the cheerleading team. Well, with your bad record on your first day in school, I doubt if she will be lenient with you," Zoey shook her head solemnly.
"Ah... Let me think about it, huh?"
"Well, you have till next week Friday. Find what you want to do then join the group you wish to," Zoey nodded her head and Tiffany exhaled.
"By the way, why did you ask so much about Declan's swimming stuff?" Zoey stopped walking and turned to look at her.
"I... It's a secret. My little secret!" Tiffany snapped her finger.
"Tiff baby. Tell me, please," Zoey pouted.
"When will he begin? I can't wait," Tiffany giggled slightly.
"Soon. Are you planning of going there? Shouldn't you go watch your ideal boyfriend play racket?" Zoey winked at her.
"Hehe, this is more important. Trust me. I went through so much in catching those leaches," Tiffany smiled.
"What leaches? What is that?" Zoey asked.
"You ask too many questions, don't you?" Tiffany grinned and began to walk away.
"Tiffany!" Zoey pouted the hurried after her.
==
Declan's swimming space.
The ladies gathered in the swimming space that belonged to Declan, giggling and waiting for the young, hot handsome king of Dax to come in.
Tiffany made sure she stood with Zoey in a very open spot where she could see and be seen clearly.
"Ladies of this school have no shame," she shook her head, getting bored already.
"Well, you can say that. Oh... Here comes the queen of shamelessness," Zoey inhaled as she looked in the direction of Lauren who entered the space majestically with her girls.
"I guess you can say that," Tiffany laughed.
After a while, Declan and Aiden entered the space which made the ladies scream out in excitement.
"That's odd. Why is Aiden here?" Zoey creased her brow.
"Are they not always together?" Tiffany glanced at her.
"Aiden should be at the field for his racket playing," Zoey answered.
"Really?" Tiffany mumbled as she stared at Aiden who was coming her way.
"Woah, Aiden is not smiling today. Is he perhaps mad at you?" Zoey nudged her gently.
"I don't care. I don't need him to talk to me also," Tiffany hardened her gaze.
"Well..." Zoey smiled at Aiden who waved at her then stood beside her.
Tiffany glared at the pool in anger.
Is he truly mad at her?
Huh, whatever.
She doesn't care anyway.
"I see you all can't wait to see me in the pool today," Declan shouted making the ladies murmur in excitement.
"Well, be my guest for I'll serve you better," Declan smiled.
¶¶
"Gosh, his smile!"
"Why is he so cute?!"
"I love you, Declan!"
¶¶
Declan glanced at his coach then nodded at him curtly which made him blow the whistle.
As soon as the whistle was blown, Declan jumped into the pool in admiration of the girls who had a crush on him.
Tiffany smirked gently then removed her phone, prepared to record the scene that was going to happen in the next few minutes.
After Declan had swam to and fro thrice, his coach blew the whistle, indicating he could come out of the water, and at that moment, Tiffany began to record the scene on her phone.
As Declan stepped out of the water, he glanced around and creased his brow at the look on everyone's face.
Some stepped backward like they were scared, some had a fearful look on their faces while some had sarcastic looks on their faces.
"What the fûck, dude! Your... Your body!" Aiden pointed at Declan.
Declan creased his brow and then looked down slowly at his body and then gasped loudly as he saw what was on his body.
All his life, he had never seen something like this.
What the hell was this?!
"What the fûck is going on!" Declan screamed in horror as he jumped up to shake off the bug on his body but those things wouldn't even budge!
"Damn!" Declan screamed as he fell back inside the pool.
All this while, Tiffany was enjoying the moment as she record it on her phone.
This... Was worth watching.
Aiden rushed forward to help Declan out and those things were still glued to his fûcking body!
"Aiden, what's wrong with me?! Am I going to dîe?!" Declan shouted.
"No... It's not up to that," Aiden creased his brow.
"Woah!" Tiffany finally speak up, which made everyone turn to look at her.
"Tiffany," Zoey whispered as she watched Tiffany walk towards Aiden and Declan.
"What are leaches doing in the almighty king of Dax's personal pool?! Tiffany raised a brow.
"L...leaches?" Declan stammered.
"Yeah. As it is stuck on your body. It is sucking your blood. I bet you won't wanna see your body after this. Tsk, I can't believe they crawl on your cute face. Tsk..." Tiffany shook her brow then ended the recording.
"D...did you fûcking do this?!" Declan bellowed.
"Well... Who knows?" Tiffany smirked then walked past him slowly.
"How dare you?!" Declan shouted and rush to attack her instead, Tiffany dodged his attack swiftly, and then pushed him back inside the pool which made everyone scream in awe.
This new girl is màd, there is no doubt about that.

Tiffany is really a badass! I mean, no one comes close! Ha ha ha!
TBC…
"Tiffany!" Zoey walked faster to catch up with Tiffany who was working on her phone."Yeah?" she stopped walking with a mischievous smile on her face."Why did you do that to him?""I told you, it's revenge. Y'all don't think I already forgot what he did to me, right?" Tiffany impersonated a pose."Still... Is this not too much?" Zoey scratched her forehead."Have you forgotten what he did to me? To think that I have to purchase another uniform with my money is annoying on my part. Come on, don't you dare side with him because you have a crush on him,'' Tiffany frowned hard."Okay, okay, sorry. But, won't his body be damaged? You said something about the leaches sucking his blood.""Well..." Tiffany shrugs her shoulder then pressed her phone with her index finger, then smiled."What did you do?" Zoey leaned forward."I... Oh, there it is. Check your phone," Tiffany began to walk away as she heard the notification sound from Zoey's phone."Tiffany?!" Zoey hurried after her."You posted
Xyler hurried inside the school clinic with a small bag that contained Declan's cloth and dashed towards him."Declan!" Xyler half yelled and sat on the chair beside Declan's bed."Huh?" Declan mumbled.Honestly, he was feeling ashamed to the core, he didn't want to meet anyone except his two friends.His body was covered in bruises, even his precious face!Well, thank God he was a Han, the Han family doesn't take things lightly.No matter what it was going to cost, he was going to get Tiffany on her knees in front of everybody in school."I think that girl, Tiffany and Aiden fûcked," Xyler exhaled and Declan hurriedly sprang from the bed."What do you mean?" "I saw Aiden blushing by the refrigerator and Tiffany had just left the lounge," Xyler answered."Tiffany came to the lounge?" Declan creased his brow."Yes.""So, you think they fûcked?" Declan queried."Yes. Honestly, I can't believe that girl is a slut," Xyler snapped his finger."Did you see spérm smeared on the floor or doe
"What is the matter, Tiffany?'' Aiden dropped his bottled soda unconsciously and grabbed her arm."It's just... I'm fine," she nodded her head as she freed herself from his grasp slowly."Are you sure?" his brow drew together."Yes," Tiffany nodded her head."Okay, I..." Aiden was interrupted by his phone which rang suddenly, startling him."Aish... This guy," he mumbled under his breath as he glanced at Tiffany."Oh, it's Declan," he forced a smile as he showed her the displayed name on the screen."Why are you not picking up?""I don't want to," he shook his head."Come on, you guys should talk it out. Go to him and settle your dispute," Tiffany nudged him slightly."Will you come say hi to him? His body is covered in bruises, don't you wanna apologize?" Aiden bit his lower lips."Apologize? To that guy? Oh, please," Tiffany rolled her eyes."Well... I'll go now. Take care of yourself, okay?" he smiled at her and watched her as she nods her head."Uhm... You don't mind if I have you
"Aiden!" Tiffany hurried towards him with Zoey trailing right behind her. Aiden was about to smash another wood on the floor and Tiffany caught it swiftly."Aiden," she called out in a whisper and Aiden turn to look at her slowly."Tiffany," Aiden whispered as a drop of tears fall from his eyes."Let go of this," Tiffany glanced at him then at the wood he was still holding tightly."I don't want to," Aiden shook his head."Let go!" Tiffany snatched it from him then threw it away."What is wrong with you? Why did you say you were no longer a member of Dax?" with furrowed brow, Tiffany asked."I... I don't know," he shook his head, staring at her."But...""Did you also believe that I'm a bad person? Anny, trust me, everything Xyler said was a lie," Aiden shook his head.Okay, what was he saying?What did Xyler say that was a lie?"I know that..."Tiffany was still talking when Aiden leaned forward and pulled her into a hug."W... What are you doing?" she furrowed her brow then glanced
"That àsshôlé, I can't believe I've been crushing on him for the past two years!" Zoey grumbled as she began to ascend the stairs."Who the hell does he think he is? Does he think he is cute? Hahaha, funny! That ugly dumpling whose hair looks like bird poop. Wait, he called me his girlfriend just because he wanted to chase Lauren away from him?! Aish!" she stopped walking and kicked the stairs with her left leg."Ah!" she bit her lower lip as she felt the pain in her leg.''Fûck,'' she hissed then resumed walking.However, she stopped walking as a hand curled around her neck then turn to look at the person."You?" She furrowed her brow as she saw Xyler smiling at her."Hi, baby. I saw you enter Declan's room. Went to beg him for a fûck?" he impersonated a pose, his hand still around her neck."Get the fûck off me!" she kicked his stomach with her elbow."Bîtch!" Xyler pushed her away and she fell."Your mama," she stood up then turn to resume ascending the stairs."W... What?!" Xyler
"You sure are a badass, you know that, right?" Aiden smiled as he walked slowly beside Tiffany."Really?" Tiffany chuckled then glanced at Zoey who was still clinging to her."Swears, it was mad crazy," Zoey shook her head."Did you perhaps learn how to fight?" Aiden asked, what Declan had said earlier slightly bothering him."N... No," Tiffany hesitated before she answered.Won't they find her weird?She knew herself that she was weird, but she wouldn't want the two people she was growing close to see her as one.Huh, well, it's inevitable.''No?" Aiden and Zoey chorused."I... I just... I... ""It's fine. You don't need to explain yourself, okay? Don't force it," Aiden smiled and Tiffany gulped hard."Oooh..." Zoey placed her hand on her chest, pretended to be shocked by what Aiden said."Come to think of it, Aiden. I always knew you were different from the other guys, but this... Wait, do you like Tiffany?" Zoey winked at him and he choked on nothing making Zoey laugh."Stop it," T
“I can go home from here,” Tiffany stopped walking, turn to face Aiden then removed her hand reluctantly from Aiden’s.“Oh,” he clasped his hands together timidly.“You live around here?” he asked, looking around.“Mind your business. Thanks for escorting me, I’ll get going.”“Okay, have a good night, okay?” Aiden smiled at her.“Huh, and you too,” she nodded her head and then turned to leave.“Anny!” Aiden shouted and she stopped walking abruptly.“It’s late, do you have to call my name that loud?” Tiffany furrowed her brow.“Uhm… I’m sorry. C…can I have your contact, please?” he requested nervously.“No.”“Please. I promise you that I won’t disturb you with calls…please.”Even though it was dark, Tiffany could see the puppy expression the guy had worn.“If you dare disturb me with calls, I’ll bock your number,” Tiffany frowned, stretched her hand forward while Aiden hurriedly dipped his hand in his pocket, removed his phone, unlocked it, and dropped it on her palm.He smiled stylish
"Tiffany?" the lion spirit whispered, walking slowly towards her."What?" Tiffany answered and the lion spirit halted then turned to look at the mountain guardian who was still in shock."H... How is this..."The lion guardian shook her head, unable to tear her eyes off Tiffany.The lady had returned to her normal self, the red eyes that shone earlier had returned to their normal color and her voice had returned to being cold and deep as usual."Did you remember anything that just happened?" the lion spirit queried."What are you saying? You were telling me not to fall for Aiden and I said you should mind your business," Tiffany frowned her face."After that?""After that... You called my name and asked if I remember anything that just happened," Tiffany rolled her eyes."But...""Did anything happen?" she glanced at the two of them."No, never mind," the lion spirit shook his head."By the way... This ring... Am I the only one that can see it? Knowing the kind of person Zoey is, she
