“Bear…” Jennifer Mõ@ned again.
“Füçk! Teddy!!!” Aaron broke free.
_______
His eyes were raining fire and brimstones as he started walking briskly to the kissers, but Vance blocked him suddenly.
“Wanna die? Get outta my Füçking way!” He shouted.
“What are you gonna do? Display your childishness again? She’s not your girlfriend for Füçk’s sake!” Vance shouted.
“None of your business” Aaron replied and pushed him out of the way, but Pascal blocked his way next.
“Outta my way!” He shouted and tried pushing him off too, but Pascal overpowered him and pinned him down on a chair.
“Good, sit and watch. Wooing a girl is not forceful, using violence won’t help you bro, so stay calm and make use of your brains” he said, and Aaron’s body began shaking on his seat as he sat still, unable to control his emotions.
He almost started crying when he turned his face back to Jennifer and Teddy, and he folded his fists so tight on his laps.
Teddy parted his lips from Jennifer’s, and their eyes met again as they released the breaths they’ve been holding, lips slightly swollen and red as a result of over kissing.
Crazy emotions were clearly written on Jennifer’s face, and Teddy’s eyes still didn’t leave her lips, till the students started clapping, bringing them back to their senses.
“Whoaa!!! Teddy you’re the real deal man!” Seth shouted.
“You’re a good kisser bro” Pascal said.
“Jenn! Go girl!” Leslie screamed.
“You guys won the game, no qualms!” Miranda winked, and Cindy stood.
She knowingly bumped into Miranda as she walked angrily out of the hall, and Miranda laughed so hard that she fell back on her chair.
“h@tërs gon’ h@të!” Leslie shouted.
“Yeah baby! But we’re gon’ keep trending!” Miranda replied amidst her laughter, and everyone joined the laughter.
Teddy looked at Jennifer again, and she smiled this time, feeling the incessant thuds on her chest.
Teddy returned the smile, and another loud scream followed from everyone.
“So what should I gift you both for making my birthday party delicious?” Pascal said through the microphone.
“Cars baby!” Miranda and Leslie screamed.
“Ok! Rolls Royce for you both, arriving at your doorsteps tommorow morning!” Pascal shouted.
?️ Yessss!!!!!!
“A car?” Teddy muttered shockingly.
“Yeah, freakin’ Rolls Royce!” Jennifer screamed, and Teddy covered his face with his palms.
“This isn’t true”
“Can the party continue?” Seth said.
“The presentation results is out!” Leslie suddenly screamed, jumping up from her seat.
“What! This dark night? Prof Bussy is so wicked!” Miranda replied, getting her phone.
Everyone started checking too.
“20 over 30” Miranda muttered.
“Same here” Leslie said, and they both laughed.
“Meaning we must score at least 60 in his exam to get an A” Miranda said.
“We can do it” Leslie replied, and they stuck hands.
“18 on 30? I’m getting worse” Pascal laughed, glancing at Vance’s score.
“23 on 30, I trust you” he said, and Vance smiled.
Alexa got 10, and immediately she checked, she stormed out of the hall
“I got 5!” Seven said
“15” Vernon replied.
“I got 26” Jennifer said, and Teddy showed her his mark directly. Her eyes widened!
“Full marks? 30!” She gasped.
“Teddy got full marks? Really? That mark always belonged to Aaron” Pascal said, facing Aaron.
“Aaron, what did…
“Füçk off” Aaron said bitterly and left the hall.
“V, you have his result checker password, right?” Pascal asked.
“Why would I?” He replied, standing up to leave.
“I do” Seth said, logging in to Aaron’s results board, and his eyes widened when he saw his score.
Pascal snatched the phone from him immediately. “29? Aaron didn’t get full marks?” His eyes widened too.
“Life is not always a bed of roses” Seven said.
“It has always been like that for him, is he sick?” Seth muttered.
“Anyways let’s not ruin the fun! Tommorow is the summer trip so let’s have some fun till midnight!” Pascal announced, and the music went loud immediately.
Everyone left the table, and the dancing continued with their partners.
Jennifer is still sitting on the table, and Teddy is still in front of her. They haven’t separated since they broke the kiss.
“Wanna dance?” She asked.
“I dunno how to dance” he replied, and she laughed.
“It’s just simple and…
“You’ll probably laugh at me if I do” he interrupted, and she laughed again.
“You haven’t answered me about the Han stuff, will you go to Seoul with me? Huh?” She asked, wrapping her arms on his neck again.
“Can I answer this after exams?” He asked, and she smiled.
“I’ll wait”
“Cool” he replied, and she started playing with his hair.
“I think I need to go, I promised dad that I won’t stay long” he suddenly said.
“Let’s leave together”
“No, your friends are…
“We didn’t come together, they’ll find their way home” she cut him off, and he nodded.
She made to come down from the table herself, but he was quick to help her down.
“Thanks” she said.
“Let’s go” he replied, leaving with her.
Stepping out of the hotel, the warm summer breeze hit their skins, and memories of their public make out hit their heads at once.
Their necks turned, and their eyes met as they walked to her car.
They gifted each other with beautiful smiles.

“Ohhhh yeahhhh!!!” Miranda screamed, staggering in zigzags around the dance floor. She’s holding a bottle of champagne, and despite her insane drunkenness, she’s still drinking.
“So sweet!” She shouted, kissing the bottle of champagne after taking another gulp.
She bumped into a student in the crowd suddenly…
“Watch where you’re going!” The student pushed her back, and she fell on a body.
She stood straight and turned to look at the owner of the body, and despite her drunk state, redness covered her pretty face.
“Crush!” She smiled, holding his right hand.
“The red girl?” Seth replied with a smile, and she nodded.
“I only go red in front of you, you know…. I actually… I have a veery big crush on you, since highschool” she confessed with drowsy eyes, and he blinked.
“Really?”
“Mmm, my heart beats like crazy anytime you’re around, and I’m…. I’m….
She got stuck, and she suddenly stumbled forward, bumping into him.
Before he knew it, she threw up on his shirt, and his eyes widened as the puke dripped down.
She looked up at him and wiped her lips with her palm, then she drank from the bottle before letting go of it.
It crashed on the marbled floor, and she smiled crazily.
“I feel better” she burped and fell directly on him, sleeping off.
“Füçk!” He gasped.
•••
Vernon was busy looking for Seven in the crowd of dancing students when he bumped into Becca, and she smiled simply before trying to walk away.
“Hey!” He called out, and she turned back.
“Yes?”
“Why don’t you pay me back right now”
“With?” She asked, and he went closer.
“A dance” he replied, and her eyes widened.
“Hey, I know you h@të me but if you wanna kill me, not through your girlfriend, she’d sever my intestines” she replied.
“She’s not around anyways” he replied.
“Babe!” Seven’s voice made her eyes widen, and she rushed away from him.
“I’ve been looking for you, let’s go” Seven grabbed his hand, taking him away.
He kept looking back, searching for Becca with his eyes till he was completely gone.

<10PM~LANES’ MANSION>
“I swear Kiss, I’m murdering you tommorow morning cos I still don’t know why I have to go through this Sh|t! First was the red girl, and now you? I’m really really gonna kill you” Seth said as he dragged drunk Pascal out of the car.
He’s as drunk as Füçk, dragging his legs on the ground immediately it made contact.
“I love you so much Seth!” He shouted.
“I h@të you, I swear I do!” Seth replied, and Pascal jumped out of his hold, but he barely took three steps away from him when he fell heavily, lying on the ground.
“Kiss! Seriously?” Seth breathed in frustration.
“I love you!” Pascal winked on the ground, laughing loudly afterwards.
“Let’s go in” Seth replied, dragging him up.
“Do you know how much I missed you when you left?” Pascal said, and Seth faced him.
His drunk eyes were rolling as he spoke.
“I missed you so much that I almost cried one night when I felt so lonely. Vance is always busy staring at Tessa’s picture or nudes on his phone. Aaron is always busy bullying, so I was really, really lonely cos you’re the only one I relate better with among all, if you leave me again, I’m really gonna kill you for real”
Seth smiled and hung his arm on his own shoulder.
“I’m going nowhere, so get in drunkard” Seth replied, dragging him in eventually.
“Master!” Anita rushed downstairs. She just finished putting Kitty to bed .
“I’ll take him upstairs, don’t worry” Pascal said, dragging him forcefully upstairs till they got to his room, and he dropped him heavily on the bed.
“Such a heavyweight” he breathed.
“Thanks for bringing him” Anita said.
“Take care of him, I’m off” Seth smiled and left.
Anita removed his shoes and gave his toes gentle massages before tucking him well in bed, then she covered him properly.
She sat beside him, touching his hair gently, but the moment she remembered how he was kissing Leslie at the party, she stood and left the room.

Aaron was already crying as he sat in front of his bathroom door with a cigar stick and lighter.
Life has always been unfair to him, it’s already unfair enough, so why does it have to be Teddy against him?
First on a girl and now on academics?
He has never missed a mark all his life, even when he was still at the orphanage, he always topped, but he missed it this time, and it’s obviously because of how he was chasing after Jennifer.
Now Teddy got the full marks that belongs to him, and he even kissed the same girl he wants, same girl that made him lose focus.
He sniffed back the snot in his nose as he cried again, and he pulled down his pants. His thighs were already full of marks from cigar burns, many discolourations.
He lightened the cigar and pressed it so hard on the thigh again, and more tears rushed out of his eyes immediately.
The door suddenly opened, and Mr Tiffin came in. His eyes widened when he saw what’s going on.
Aaron quickly stood and pulled up his pants, wiping his tears too.
“You don’t know how to knock before entering? Get out!” He yelled at the old man.
“I was told you wanted me to mix your bath and…
“You don’t have ears? Out!” Aaron snapped, and he started leaving.
“And if the third person hears about what you saw tonight, then you’ll incur my demon” Aaron threatened, and Mr Tiffin rushed out.
He fell back on the ground, and he smirked suddenly.
“Te…ddy”

Alexa opened the door to their room roughly, and she met Alex in bed with the video camera, he’s watching the videos again.
They haven’t been talking since the rooftop stuff, but nevertheless, she went to him and snatched the camera from him.
“We still have this?” She said, playing one of the videos.
A boy was kneeling in the rain in a school yard, and numerous pupils like him are standing by the hallway, watching him as he almost shook to death.
The only difference is that they’re all dressed richly in clean uniforms except him, his uniform is torn and tattered, and he looks so poor.
“Ppp…lllease… I’m… I’m…dyi…ng” his teeth clattered on each other as he begged for mercy, and the rain got heavier.
“Alex! Make sure capture this scene well!” Little Alexa said to Alex who’s holding the camera, then she got her umbrella and walked into the rain, covering herself till she got to the poor boy.
“Who said you could score full marks in the tests? You’re nothing but a scholarship student so what audacity!” She yelled, folding her umbrella angrily.
She hit the umbrella on his face, and he began bleeding as he passed out on the ground.
Alexa laughed out loud after watching that, and she threw the camera back at Alex.
“I miss him though, where would he be right now? Our little scapegoat back then” she chuckled as she made her way into the bathroom.
“You’ve always been a good cameraman, you captured the videos clearly” she laughed again.
“Now that I think about it, we deserve everything Aaron is doing to us, maybe it’s a way of paying for our past sins” Alex said.
“Stop sprouting nonsense and just sleep” Alexa rolled eyes and entered the bathroom.
She smiled evilly and sighed.
“I only have to kill Jennifer, right? The trip is tommorow, I bet her dead body is what’ll be coming back from Dubai”
•••
Jennifer stood on front of her bathroom mirror, touching her lips as she reminisced about the steamy kiss earlier.
She was smiling and blushing as she did, and she kept sticking her toes on her foot, feeling so hyper.
“It felt like my first kiss, I kissed a hottie” she muttered, laughing to herself.
She suddenly stopped moving, imagining the scene in her head.
The way he carried her on the table, pushed in his tongue and held her face, he even touched her chains!
She quickly raised her singlet and smiled when she saw her chains, imagining his fingers on them.
“Gosh!” She gushed, rushing out to her room.
She jumped on her bed and started throwing up her legs, rolling around happily.
“He’s a good kisser indeed! So cutely naughty!” She blushed, and her phone dinged.
She quickly checked, and her eyes widened when she saw a message from him.
TEDDY: Sleeping already?
She smiled and quickly typed.
JENNIFER: Nope, just finished having my nighttime shower
TEDDY: Me too
JENNIFER: You’re a pro
TEDDY: At what?
JENNIFER: The lips
TEDDY: Really?
JENNIFER: Yeah, I love the kiss
TEDDY: Me too
Her eyes widened, and she threw her legs up again before replying.
JENNIFER: We can just do it again…. Before the trip tommorow?
TEDDY: It’s not appropriate to kiss for fun without a special relationship.
JENNIFER: WDYM?
Jennifer waited for minutes, but he never replied back after that, and she texted again.
JENNIFER: Bear, are you there?
Still no reply…
•••
Teddy walked out of the mansion that warm night, wearing his only hoodie.
He actually got a strange text from a new number, telling him to come to a location if he really wants to know who sent the thugs to him.
He hooded completely before stepping into the street, walking in the dark street alone till he got to the rendezvous after ten minutes. It’s in the same street.
He met no one, so he got his phone to text the person…
“Finally you’re here” a familiar voice said behind him, and he turned swiftly to see the last person he was expecting.
“Mr Salvador?” He said shockingly, and the man rushed forward, grabbing his neck brutally.
“Ah…hh..ahh!” Teddy groaned in his hold as he pushed his back to the wall, choking him energetically.
There’s pure hatred, deep grudge and unmatched resentment in his eyes as he squeezed life out of him.
“You think you deserve happiness after killing my only daughter? I won’t watch you live happily! You had the guts to go after another girl after pushing my daughter to her death! How dare you Teddy Tiffin!! How dare you criminal!!!” He yelled, pressing tighter, and tears escaped Teddy’s eyes immediately.
Blood dropped out of his nose, and he allowed himself to be choked as guilt took over him.
“You don’t deserve happiness!!!” Mr Salvador yelled again, hitting his back on the wall as he dug his fingers into his neck, trying to rip out his oesophagus.
“Yy..es… I don’t..” Teddy cried at his mercy, bleeding more.
“Then die!!!” Mr Salvador gnarled and made to finally tear out his throat, but someone hit a plank on his head, and he released Teddy before passing out on the ground.
Teddy fell down almost unconscious…
“Ted!” The voice called, squatting in front of him, but before he could say more, Teddy’s neck went limp, he passed out too!
“Ted! No! Ted!”
