Beauty folded the piece of paper after reading. She looked up only to see Dylan staring at her
She glare at him while he scoff, looking away
She threw the folded paper at Dylan and it handed straight on his head
He faced her immediately and she stuck her mouth out
“She’s troublesome and annoying….cute anyway” Dylan smirk, facing front
“Are you both now playing lovey dovey in the class right now?” Amour faced Beauty with an amused look on her face
“Yea! I’m perceiving love in this play” Sugar chipped in, licking her lollipop
“Eww! Stop day dreaming because it’s never gonna happen. I’m too pretty for him” Beauty roll her eyes
“It’s just a prophesy” Amour mumble
“I feel the prophesy will manifest sooner” Sugar utter earning a glare from Beauty
“Why that look?”Pepper ask. She’s the only one writing
“Can’t you hear the rubbish coming out from their mouth?” Beauty face Pepper
“I’m out” Pepper went silent
“I can’t wait for you both to kiss” Sugar concluded
“Hey!!” Beauty snapped at them but she dragged Amour by her ear
“What’s this for?” Amour winced and Beauty let go of her
“You started it first” Beauty snapped again
“I’m sure there’s gonna be lots of work being you guys friend” she scoff and Pepper grin
“Stress not yourself for we are good girls” Amour said more like a quote causing Beauty to frown deeply
“Amour Salvador! You’ve been talking” the teacher snapped at her and she went mute
“I wasn’t talking” Amour denied feigning ignorance
“She was only whispering” Sugar said and the teacher scoff
“Pay attention or you leave the class!” the teacher warn sternly
“You caused this one” Amour whisper and Beauty scoff

LIBRARY
Pepper walked to the novel section. Her eyes kept going through the books as she was confuse on what to pick
Earlier, she felt bored since Sugar and the others left since they were having extra curricular class
“Füçk! I’m just lonely at the top right now” she groan inwardly
She was already tired of walking through all the sections with nothing catching her eyes
” I really miss them right now” she murmur again after checking out the books arranged on a shelf
Just then she looked up and caught glimpse of a book
The designs drew her attention
“Hey! Finally got you! Where have you been hiding?” she mutter happily stretching her hand to the book but she couldn’t reach to it as she was short
“Füçk my short height!” she cursed trying again but this time, someone from behind picked the book
Slowly, Pepper turn around and her eyes widen the more when she discovered it was Daniel standing behind her
She widen her eyes, staring at him
“Stop looking at me that way wide eyes” Daniel smile, now staring at the book
He nod
Pepper just stood, unable to utter a word
“You have a high taste. I bet you were trying to pick this” Daniel said now looking at her
She couldn’t help but blush as her cheek turned tomato red
“Actually, I came to get this too. I’ve been waiting for this edition to be out”
Her eyes widen the more when she heard him say that
*He’s a bookworm?*she thought
“R… Really?”
Daniel nod
“Then you can have it” Pepper said shyly after he handed the book to her
“You took it first” he replied
“No! You did”
“Fine! You saw it first and since you’re too short to take it, I helped you” Daniel smile and Pepper blushed
“We finally met again…Pepper” he smile, ruffling her hair which made her blush the more
She watch him leave and turned to the books arranged on the shelf
“He love reading” she said softly, picking more books
She was done with selecting five books and when she turned around, she saw Camilla resting on one of the shelves
She frown deeply and made to move but camilla obstructed her
“Do I owe you?”Pepper asked calmly
“Yes! A lot! I want you to…..”
“Okay, I get! I know you have a crush on on Daniel and I do too and, if you’re here to warn me about staying away from him then…mission failed. Abort the idea! I have a crush on him so don’t waste your strength trying to warn me because I won’t listen. You love him, I love him too! We fight for his attention…thank you” Pepper cut in smiling but it didn’t reach her eye
The smile faded and turned into a scornful look
She walked away carrying the loads of book on her hands
Camilla stare with her mouth opened as she watched Pepper leave the library
She stood not believing her ears
“She wasn’t the one who spoke, right?” Camilla asked no one in particular still staring at the door which Pepper passed through
She was still yet to believe what she heard from Pepper.

HALL*
Amour was already done with her extra time lesson. She was already extremely exhausted and was weak as a result of it
Packing her books, brought out her phone going through her messages with a worried look on her face
“Why isn’t he replying my message?” she said bitterly keeping back her phone
It was obvious that she really missed him……her ghost boyfriend
She turned to leave but met Range who was coming in. She pretended not to take notice of him and continued walking
“Shorty!” Range called as she was about passing him
“What do you want angry bird” she huff and faced him… Staring at him meanly
“Are you still mad at me….for what happened two…”
“And who said that I am?”
“It’s written all over you”
Amour scoff and faced him once again
“The only thing I regretted was telling you about my feelings and getting humiliated… Happy?” she yell at him
Range smirked but behind that, he was hurt and angry at himself
“You’re worse….you’re Füçking worse than I had thought” she yell more at him and ran out
Range didn’t try to stop her. He only sigh deeply regretting his actions back then
••
TWO YEARS AGO*
Amour walked into the classroom with a seal and well decorated card
She was grinning from ear to ear
“Why that happy face?” Sugar asked
“I’m finally going to confess my feelings to Range” she replied and Sugar rolled her eyes
Range has been her crush since the second day of her resumption to the school
She stalked him to the extent that she knew when he was happy, the things he liked and disliked… She knew everything about him but he never reciprocated the same feelings
“I have the feelings that you might get rejected” Pepper chipped in from behind
“Me too!” Sugar said
“Hey! Stop that pitiful look on your faces. I’m sure that he will be convinced that I love him” Amour said and walked out, still grinning
Sugar brought out another lollipop from her pocket while Pepper sigh
*
LOCKER*
Amour walked over to Range who just finish arranging his locker
She stretched her hands, giving him the decorated card
“Uhmm, Range I like you!” she said simply but he stare at her with disgust
Now, students already surrounded them
Range took the card from her and and threw it on the ground. He stepped on it
“W…why?” Amour stutter, not believing her eyes
“I don’t like you back and will never Amour so stop going insane. You ain’t my type, you’re not beautiful as I want! You can’t even offer me anything so why will I like you back? Things will never work between us” Range said in disgust
Now the students were already booing and laughing
👥 Poor thing!
👥 Range can never like her!
👥 I h@të the fact that she proposed to him
👥 She’s a cheap sl*t
“But… You can give me a chance” Amour said ignoring the jest
She was already crying
“I will never love you back so let it sink into your skull” Range replied
Sugar walked in their midst. She glare at Range who seem never to care before dragging her away
*
END OF FLASHBACK*
Amour got to the rooftop. She cleaned her tears severally but it couldn’t stop falling
“He has the gut to talk to me” she cried…
“I h@të you… I h@të you Range!” she yell still crying
•••
1HR LATER*
CLASS*
The teacher finally left and the students breath out in relief
“I almost got suffocated.” A student said
“Same here! Her teachings are boring” another replied
Soon, the class turned upside down as the students began talking while some….reading since it was a free period
Hilda kept on stealing glances of Emerald but he didn’t even spare her a glance which infuriated her
“Why that look on your face?” Vanilla asked Camilla
“Just thinking of something?”
“What?”
“Actually what will you do if someone you dislike is crushing on who you love?” Camilla faced Vanilla
“Ugh..I’ll try to make the person I love… Love me back” Vanilla replied and Camilla went mute
“Hey!! Do you love someone already? Without telling me?” Vanilla asked
She faced Camilla who looked away and turned her gaze to Hilda to seem to be lost
“Must I tell you everything?” Camila roll her eyes
“Ofcourse!”
“Why?”
“Because we’re twin” Vanilla replied and Camilla hiss
She stood up, leaving the class
Just then Ryan walked up to Vanilla
“Camilla or Vanilla?” he asked
” Just leave me alone. My twin fell in love without informing me” she snapped and walk away
“It was a harmless question tho” Ryan mumble
Two girls went to him, caressing his shoulder
“Y’all makes me forget about my worries” he smile
Dylan kept on stealing glances at Beauty who had her head bent. Once in a while she’d look up only for her gaze to meet with his
“Füçk!” she cursed
“Hey! Stop stealing glances” Beauty snap at him
“Who told you that I was Miss fire?” Dylan ask now fully facing her
“What did you call me?”
“Miss fire!” Dylan simply replied
“I will skin you” Beauty stood up
“At this rate I think you’ll be given the nickname hurricane” Sugar said
“Volcano” Dominic chipped in
“absolutely!” Proper said and Beauty slowly sat
“What?!” she blinked
A loud bang on the table drew their attention
“Hey guys…. I’ll be hosting a pool party and all are invited” the girl whose name is Vera informed and the students scream happily
👥 I’m Füçking attending!!
👥 I’m never gonna miss that!!
👥 Been waiting for a day like this
The students chatted
“Where’s Amour?” Beauty suddenly ask
“She isn’t back yet from the hall. She must be busy” Sugar replied
Just then, she sighted Range who just entered the class and scoff
Range looked around and when he didn’t catch a glimpse of her, he sat down
Pepper faced Beauty
“The party will be hosted on Friday so, will you attend?” Pepper ask
“I’ll attend since I know Amour will” Sugar chipped in
“Fine! I’m gonna attend!”
