AXEL’S OFFICE**
“What took you so long?” Axel asked when Rose came in with the files.
“I’m so sorry Mr Cami, I had to use the restroom, nature called” she replied as she dropped them on his table.
“Alright, you can leave” he replied, picking the file.
Rose left the office, and immediately he opened the file, the results were the first thing he saw.
He squinted at first, not understanding what it means, but he slowly started getting it.
“What’s this?” He mumbled, standing up slowly from his seat.
“Lucky charm!” Malia said cheerfully, entering his office with two cups of coffee.
He kept standing, looking at her.
“What’s up baby?” She smiled, walking to him.
When she saw his seriousness, she dropped the cups and took the paper from him.
Her eyes almost fell off when she saw them, they wouldn’t stop widening in utmost shock.
Her body started shaking immediately, and she almost fell.
Axel kept looking at her, his eyes asking various questions.
Malia slowly looked up at his shocked eyes, the paper fell from her.
“Three… abortions?” Axel said unbelievably.
“Axel I can…. I can .. I can explain” she started crying.

SCOTT HILLS HIGH★ SWIMMING HALL**
The boys lined up on the starting points already.
Drayton for yellow, Frankie for blue, Cody for red.
Pink has no representative, so it’s only the three of them.
The cheerleaders were already cheering, and the boys were flexing their bodies expect Frankie.
Right now, his arm might just fall off cos the pains he’s experiencing is fire.
He stood still till the orders came.
“Ready!” The sports master said, and they all used their spectacles.
“Go!”
They all jumped in at a time, and the crazy competition started immediately.
Frankie was lagging behind right from the first minute, and no scream came from the blue team.
“Something is wrong with Frankie” Daniel said worriedly.
“Trust me, I just knew it” Franco replied.
“He shouldn’t have bothered joining the competition, I don’t think his arm is fine” Dooley said.
“You know stubborness is his second name” Daniel replied.
Drayton was taking the lead for the first two minutes, Cody was in the second place, and Frankie was in the last.
“Boo bear is not feeling fine” Beauty said childishly, feeling like pulling him out of the pool.
“What’s up with Frankie Styles?” The sports master muttered.
Frankie suddenly stopped swimming when he couldn’t do it anymore.
He stepped out of the water and left the hall.
He went straight to the broadcasting room and started crying slowly.
All his life, he has never lost in any competition, not to talk of swimming.
He has always been the star of the pool in the history of this school, but he just f*cked up.
He disappointed himself and the team as a whole.
His tears didn’t stop pouring till Beauty came in.
“Boo bear!” She shouted and rushed to him.
Frankie couldn’t stop the tears .
It’s a embarrassing to cry in front of her but he doesn’t care, he just wants to let it all out if possible
“You’re not a loser” she said, wiping her tears.
“I am” he replied, crying more.
“You’re not, please stop crying I love you so much” she said, hugging his face his her chest.
“I’m useless” he hiccupped.
“No, it just happened, it won’t be like this forever yunno” she replied, and he continued crying on his chest.
Davina was watching from the door, she sighed and turned her back on the door at once, then she walked away.

7PM**
All the students were already in the open ground for the festival highlight.
The talent show is currently going on.
Dancers were dancing on stage while Daniel searched for Miss Lissa.
He has been searching since some minutes ago
He finally found her standing alone, clapping as she watched the dancers.
He walked to her and grabbed her hand.
“Daniel!” She said surprisingly.
“I have something to tell you” he said and took her out of the place.
She followed till they got to the base of a tree, then he let her go.
“What…are we here to .. talk about?” She asked slowly.
Daniel swallowed hard and tried to lock eyes with her before speaking, and it worked
He locked their eyes and that was when he was able to gather confidence.
“Miss Lissa, I….
Lissa raised a brow
“I….
“You like me?” She broke the ice, and his eyes widened.
“How did you…
“It’s very obvious, since my first day here” she interrupted, and he swallowed hard again.
“I really like you miss Lissa” he said slowly, unable to look her in the eye again.
Dooley who has been hearing them turned back and ran away from them.
She had plans to confess to him , but she can’t anymore.
She was still running when she ran into Franco.
She bumped her head on his chest and Franco held her.
“Dooley why are you…
She raised her head, her face was already soaked with tears.
His eyes widened.
“Dooley!”
“I’m hurt, Franco I’m….hurt” she cried, resting her face on his chest.
Franco started stroking her hair, petting her in the little way he knows .
**
“Stop liking me” Lissa said, and Daniel quickly looked up.
“Huh?”
“I have no plans to date anytime soon”
“I’ll wait miss Lissa, I ..
“And even if I’d date, I definitely can’t date my student, Daniel it’s impossible” she interrupted.
“We’re only two years apart” he replied.
“It matters, I don’t do age is just a number” she said, and he came closer
“I love you miss Lissa, I swear it I….
“I’m sorry Daniel, I can’t” she interrupted and rushed away from him.
His phone dinged immediately.
It’s a credit alert, she has returned the money.
He squatted and started crying.
He was there in tears for several minutes before standing up
He decided to go home straight without waiting for the rest of the highlight.
He walked to the park and got in his car, driving home tearfully.

HOLLANDS MANSION**
“I should go now before Daniel returns” Frankie said, standing up from Beauty’s bed.
After leaving the broadcasting room the other time, they actually came home straight.
“You promised to leave only when you calm down” she replied, standing up too
“I’ve calmed down, I’m not crying anymore” he replied.
“Promise me you won’t cry again” she said .
“I promise” he smiled and she was about to hug him when her phone buzzed.
She checked the message, it’s from Cody.
*I WON THE SWIMMING COMPETITION, WHEN SHOULD WE GO ON OUR DATE?*
“What’s that?” Frankie asked and made to check, but she put off the phone and shut him up with a kiss.
“What?” Frankie smiled.
“Kiss me” she replied, looking up at him.
Frankie smiled and pulled her closer by the waist suddenly.
He kissed her lips lightly, and she smiled.
“I love you” he whispered.
“Much more” she whispered back.
Frankie captured her lips hard, and at the same time, his hand went to her right breas*
He pushed her to the bed and came on top of her, kissing and caressing her at the same time.
She started Mõ@ning slowly but seductively, and Frankie felt his sense evaporating as they reached his ears.
He broke the kiss and pulled down the arm of her singlet at once, her already erect pebble pinkish n*pples faced him
Beauty chuckled excitedly.
“You’re gonna suck my B@@bs again?”
“Your çlit too” he whispered and covered her right n*pple with his mouth.
That instant, Daniel opened the door and came in with red eyes.
