CHAPTER 33&34
Isa FLEW.
She landed on the desk, sliding all the way to the floor.
She got brutally wounded.
Students around her quickly moved away with gasps.
Ana’s eyes bulged.
Derek ran back to stand beside Eric and by now, students noticed their presence.
The crazy students still screamed and gushed.
“Now, this is getting more interesting. Just hope that ma bitch won’t be expelled”Rhapsody folded her arms, smirking.
“Who’ll dare expel grand arsehole’s Kissmate?”she added, clicking her tongue.
Alex turned fully to the scene, walking in slow mo.
She’s not Alex anymore.
She’s more of a villain. A smart, crazy villain. Her eyes burned with rage and fury.
Insult her for all she cares. She’ll give you the way you want it.
But call her a bastard— you’ll get a free ticket to hell.
“I’ll be nice to elucidate how bastards behave…”she muttered, every word laced with venom.
She gave her phone to Cathy who shakily collected it.
The way was paved like she was a goddess… god. That’s the best word to use.
god.
Ana woulda tried to pull her away but… she didn’t.
Mira couldn’t do a thing as she watched, eyes glaring.
Damn, at this point, eyes should be turned into sharp bullets.
“… They. Are. Crazy,”Alex continued.
This second, she was talking, moving to Isa. The next second she was on Isa.
Punch.
Punch.
Another füç?ing brutal smack.
•Isa’s father wouldn’t mind driving to school tomorrow.
•Mr Cooper values his daughter more than anything… even his wife doesn’t share half of the love.
•Why do I feel today’s the last day for Alex Stone?
“Oww, intense”Derek nodded, a sly smile, tugging at the corner of his lips.
With an unhinged expression, Eric left.
Alex? All she’s thinking is BASTARD.
The words wouldn’t stop making drum sounds in her ears. And as it echoed, she remembered.
“Momma, I’m eight years old today. Big enough to know who my dad is.”
“I have something for you, Alexa”
“A necklace? Cool”
And after a year.
“Momma, we really don’t have any family. Isn’t it weird?”
“Oh we have, bubu. Just that, they’re all far away”
“Err, stop calling me that.”
The next year.
“I’m stopping school. A girl called me a bastard petty thief with no background because I helped her pick up her stupid pencil! I burst her lips but I’m not satisfied, not after I was punished!”
“Oh my gawd, Alexa. I’m so sorry”
“I wanna learn how to take from the poor. I’ll steal from her till she goes dry!”
In reality, students were already pulling her away when it got too uncontrolled.
“Holy shit,”Andrea widened his eyes when she punched one of her pullers. He stood up and walked to Alex, pushing one of her lifters.
He pulled her, rolling his eyes. It’s the least he can do for a FRIEND.
“Nah, Echo!”Rhapsody stood up, rushing to the scene too.
“Calm down!”Andrea said.
That’s a shocker.
It’s weird seeing Andrea partake in any of these shits.
So it’s a shocker.
“Fúcking leave me!”Alex wriggled free, but he grabbed her back, holding her firmly.
“Control your temper, okay?”he pressed her shoulders.
“I’mma show her how bastards behave! And she’s gon’ regret calling me that!”she snarled, eyes far from normal.
“This is crazy, Echo. you’re gonna kill her”Rhapsody intervened calmly.
Meanwhile, Isa crawled with eyes and cheeks swollen, searching for her tooth.
One of her eyes had literally entered, that spot turned purple. Bruises all over her face like a headless chicken.
“I DON’T CARE!”Alex screamed, she angrily pulled away, punching Andrea on his jaw. He looked away, touching that spot.
Shocker number two.
Everything is wrong with Alex.
The bastard stuff.
Irritation.
The damn pairing stuff!
Every fúcking thing!
Derek widened his eyes and entered, Rhapsody stood there, half amazed, half proud.
Cathy stood where she was, gulping.
Dennis covered Winter’s eyes like she saw sin.
“Did that calm you down a little?”Andrea asked, that spot turned pink ASAP.
Alex folded her fists, chest heaving. “I’m..”
“Alexandra Stone, to my office right now,”Mr Woods walked in with the class rep. The boy obviously sneaked out to report.
“The Queen Bee and Anabelle Acosta, follow behind. You two, take Isabelle to the clinic”Mr Woods continued and left.
Alex didn’t wait, she didn’t look at anyone as she walked out, with an aura of craziness.
Cathy looked at the phone in her hand and ran after her. Mirabelle and Anabelle walked out too.
“Aish, woulda stopped Echo before it turned worse. I’m crazy,”Rhapsody palmed her forehead.
“Apt,”Derek chuckled beside her. She glared.
“It’s suspension… or it may lead to expulsion, except a miracle happens”Andrea muttered and walked out.
“Ohh, Prince charming is really now a friend to Echo”Rhapsody said, her eyes went to Dennis and Winter, and Dennis waved shortly. She replied with a short nod, folding her fists.
Comport yourself Rhapsody, they’re not dating.
*
“Alex, wait!”Cathy screamed after Alex and she finally stopped.
“Just leave me, Cat. For now”Alex mumbled without looking back at her.
Cathy swallowed hard and walked forward, blocking her. She handed her phone over to her.
Alex looked down at it and collected it.
“Sorry, Isa can be that crazy. But I’m very sure she doesn’t know… She never meant to hurt you that deep,”Cathy explained.
“I don’t need a sermon, Cat”Alex walked past her.
Cathy turned, watching her as she disappeared from her sight.
She spotted a slight smeared substance on the left side of Alex’s neck.
‘Your quietness sucks. It’s either you’re hiding something about your miserable family or one of your parents is half-dead!’
Those were Isa’s words to her last year, when they were all still in junior class.
“I really want to tell you about my dad, but how do I start?”Cathy muffled, she inhaled a fresh scent of cigarette and musk and she turned.
“Derek Denaley,”she muttered with a gasp, bowing slowly.
“The one week closeness will be happening next week afterall”he said.
She didn’t look up.
“Miss…”he smirked.
“Ca… Cathy,”she stuttered.
“Hmm, I know, just wanted a word from you”he walked forward, raising her jaw with two fingers.
She shut her eyes deeply, feeling stings of heat on her skin.
“Open your eyes,”he ordered. She did.
füç?, she’s pretty.
Derek immediately left her.
“Hope we get along, partner”he tapped her shoulder and walked past her.
Cathy gulped a million times in one second.
“He knows my name… I mean we’re really partners”she lit her lids happily.
“Aww, look who’s smiling,”Rhapsody walked to her, Cathy turned and hugged her.
“Wow, that’s weird,”she chuckled, hugging her back.
Derek watched them grin for a few more minutes before leaving his hiding spot.
•President’s Villa~Hera’s Place•
Hannah walked into the bedroom with a mug of hot chocolate coffee.
She stared at Hera who’s watching something on her phone with surprised interest.
“Hera Washington”Hannah called, Hera quickly turned off her phone screen, folding her legs up to her chest, wrapping her hands around them.
“You were looking forward to your visit. But on that very day, you came home sad. Your welcome party was worse, you fainted beside Omar’s daughter. She was numb so we had to wait for you to wake up to explain but you never did”Hannah said, she walked to her and sat beside her on the large, polished, pink bed.
Hera only collected the mug, sipping quietly from it.
“Eric hasn’t come here to see you. You told me he welcomed you at the airport but you two were literally apart at the gala! What is wrong, Hera? Mira only called his name and nothing else. Also, that girl who dressed like Rhapsody Morozov at the party…”Hannah explained.
“She entered the hall? She didn’t just stay outside after the kiss…”Hera stopped talking, Hannah looked at her suspiciously.
“Kiss?”she squinted.
“Nevermind, I was supposed to be a new student at Stars High, but not anymore,”Hera said.
“What?”
“In a few months, I’ll graduate. I should finish schooling in France. When I return, I might link with Eric”Hera muttered, pinching herself secretly.
“Did you both fight? I clearly remember… Eric was supposed to be your fun partner!”Hannah snapped.
“I’m not ready mom! Not yet, and we didn’t fight… we just talked through the phone, now. I just wanna go back”Hera said.
“Ugh, you’re impossible!”Hannah scoffed and stood up. “You’re just like your father… pessimistic”
She walked out.
Hera groaned angrily, throwing the mug away. It shattered, spilling along with the hot chocolate.
She grabbed her comforter screaming in it, biting and punching.
To her, that’s Alex. The Tomboy.
“I wish I could crush her like dust! Urrg, how did Eric find out? How! She’s his new Kissmate? How! I worked hard for this.
If only I didn’t kiss and shag other guys. That Tomboy has taken my place and I can’t do anything!”she screamed.
She paused to take a deep breath, unlocking her phone.
She re-read the message she sent.
Hera: Eric why!😭😭
Why’d you kiss another girl? A
Criminal? We made a promise.
Then she re-read the message he sent when her mom walked earlier, distracting her.
Eric❤️: We both broke our promise.
It’s a win-win.
Eric❤️: By the way, it’s a shame you have
a weak heart.
You fainted before the real kiss. It
was HAWT.
Hera screamed to her pillow. Right there, she lost all hope of life.
•Eric’s Mansion~Haven•
Eric decided not to drum, or play billiards or even drown himself in the pool or Dom Pérignon.
He just sat on the couch, arms spread wide on the arm rests, head on the head rest.
His Airpods in his ears did him the favor of playing drum sounds.
With his eyes shut, he drummed his fingers on the arm rests.
“There’s no difference between my late sister and her— Typical of Erica,”he said.
“The difference is that the late Erica Grande was a lefty,”Senitel replied. He slowly nodded without opening his eyes.
“She’ll be expelled tomorrow morning, it’s certain,”he said.
“Master Eric, if I may ask, do you want the high bítch away? Remember she’s your late sister’s mirror and your Kissmate too. You didn’t express your love for late Erica, maybe you should, to the high bítch. Also, she was Erica’s friend too”Senitel said.
“That doesn’t sound like Senitel, I didn’t create you to preach feelings which you know nothing about”Eric opened his eyes.
“She’s a high bítch and she’ll forever be that. Like I said, shared qualities do not recreate bond”Senitel said.
Eric lounged back in his seat, sinking deep into thoughts.
“Should we perhaps talk about this Sharmer King?”Senitel asked.
“Just shut up,”Eric muttered.
“Alright Master Eric, Senitel out”the AI replied jovially.
As Eric’s fingers drummed on the arm rests, he had a flashback.
•Ten years back•
The accident day.
Hey!”Mrs Grande turned to them in anger.
But that was her mistake.
The speed was too fast. Too fast to handle.
Mrs Grande has obviously forgotten she was at the highest speed. Loud honks of vehicles made her turn back to the road view.
“Christ!”she gasped, controlling the steering wheel with all energy.
Another vehicle sped her way. Not a car, but a truck of full loads— heavy boxes.
“Eric!”Erica widened her eyes, clinging her arms around Eric’s. Eric in turn stayed quiet, widening his eyes.
Mrs Grande turned her car, trying to drive out of the pavement. Maybe towards the cliff.
Of course, towards the cliff.
But…
The huge truck of loads collided with their car, hitting it on the left side. The driver’s seat was on the left side, Erica sat behind— on the left side too.
The mirror was smashed and the glasses broke, pouring in. Some met Eric, a lot met Erica. A glass pierced on her throat.
She died instantly.
On Eric.
“Erica!”Eric screamed in horror.
Their car flew to the cliff, rolling down the coast.
“No, no, no!”Mrs Grande screamed.
Blackout.
Waking up a week later, Eric found himself in the hospital…
•Present Time•
The flashback was cut short when his phone buzzed for the tenth time.
Eric opened his eyes. Red. They’re red.
He’s hollow as usual.
His phone buzzed again and it took him minutes to sit up.
He picked it up, the call ended, instead a message entered.
DR: Dude, are you fine? Been calling!
Rhapsody: Eric, please. I know you know what happened at school earlier. Echo didn’t start the fight.
Without your say, she MIGHT be expelled.
Rhapsody: Wait, are you okay?
Dad: There’s hope about Sharmer.
DR: Dude! Dude! Dude!
Rhapsody: reply to my messages, grand arsehole.
DR: It better not be you’re buried among drums. I’m coming right now!
Slut: Eric, can we start afresh? I beg you, forgive me. I’m dying here, if you don’t forgive me, I won’t have peace in France or New York 🥺
Eric read everything with empty eyes, then he tossed his phone back on the couch. He stood up and walked to the elevator.
In no time, he disappeared into the elevator.
•Alex’s Home•
Alex entered, as empty as nothing.
Even with Christy watching the TV with a happy smile, Alex didn’t care.
Wait, Christy is home? Alex doesn’t care.
She walked straight past the living room without uttering a word.
“Hey, Alexa. Aren’t you surprised I’m…”Christy batted her lids when Alex disappeared into her bedroom.
“Home so early?”she completed her words to herself.
Alex walked to her mirror, unbuttoning her blazer. She took off her shirt too, staring at her image.
She was left in her white singlet and school trousers.
Not bothering to take those off for now, she packed a few of her concealers, throwing them in her backpack.
It’s been a while since she showcased her talent— she’ll do that today. She’ll pickpocket till she gets arrested.
If she gets caught.
She disappeared into the bathroom and came back all dressed in black pants and hoodie. Staring at her face in the mirror, a devilish smirk escaped her lips.
“Bastard?”she grinned. “Oh common, that’s what you are Alexandra Motherfüç?ing Bitch!”she yelled.
•Flashback~Hours Ago at Stars High(Mr Woods Office)•
“Call your parents… any of your guardian. They’re to come with you tomorrow”
Mr Woods adjusted his glass, looking at Alex who stood like a rock before him.
Stubborn and adamant.
Mira and Ana stood metres from her, while Ana stared, Mira faked tears.
“Why’d I bring anyone? If I am to be punished tomorrow, fine. If y’all wanna expell me tomorrow— fine. I ain’t coming with nobody” Alex replied.
“Alexandra. Why are you this troublesome?”He yelled.
“I caused the trouble now? She brought out the fúcking panda in me by calling me a bastard! What the fúck is this preference?”she retorted.
“Even after almost attempting murder, she’s still not remorseful”Mira sniffled.
Alex shot her a wicked look.
“She’s my best friend and you wanted to kill her for me?! You’re nothing but a psychotic demon!”she continued.
And Alex strangled her.
“Jesus!”Ana and Woods screamed.
•Back To Reality•
“You’re a bastard!”she punched the mirror, a shade of line appeared.
“A fúcking bastard!”she punched it again, it cracked.
Alex widened her eyes in shock. Did she just… crack a mirror with her fist?
Wait, she had removed Isa’s tooth too.
How?
She felt a drop on her foot and she looked down.
Blood.
Another drop fell off her knuckles and she gasped in pain, holding that hand.
“Fu… ck.”she groaned.
“Alexa!”Christy entered, she gasped in shock. Her palms found their way to her mouth.
“Learn to fúcking knock!”Alex yelled.
“What happened? Why’re you bleeding?”Christy moved forward, but Alex’s next words stopped her.
“You happened, Momma! You fúcking happened. Look at me, I’m an eighteen year old bastard!. You never told me who my dada was. Anytime I ask, you cover it with something else. Is my dada alive? Or you don’t wanna tell me cuz you don’t know who? Are you even my Momma?”those words are filled with bitterness and something different.
Christ gulped eventually.
She didn’t expect this. Not yet.
“Alexa,”she muttered.
“I need a break,”Alex picked her backpack and walked out with blood dripping hand.
“Alexa, your hand… I’m füç?ed. I’m so screwed!”Christy cried, falling on Alex’s bed.
•Hospital~A private ward•
“I need a tooth from India. Not an inserted white tooth, I need gold”Isa said to her mom.
The space in her upper teeth made her weird. Toothless.
Her face is better now. Work of concealers and MONEY.
“And you’ll get gold, okay?”the nice woman said. She nodded like a child.
Mr Cooper, Isabelle’s dad paced the room angrily. Even Mira had to move back in fright.
“A low life scholarship student did this? Almost ruined my precious’ face? Burst her lips? Removed her tooth? She’ll hear from me tomorrow, she won’t just be expelled, she’ll write a letter of apology to me, Isabelle and her friends!”he growled.
“You know how it feels, Coop. She got deranged because our daughter called her a bastard. Maybe she really is, and that can be painful when you use one’s weakness against him”Mrs Cooper explained.
“Crap, we know her weakness. She’s a weak ass who’s scared of…”Mira screamed but Ana covered her mouth, smiling at the couple.
She pulled Mira out and released her.
“What!”Mira snapped.
“Isabelle is like her dad. Mrs Cooper? She’s like an angel. Yunno we have plan against the Tomboy and if you expose it now, who knows? Mrs Cooper might go against it”Ana said. Mira rolled her eyes and folded her arms.
“That Tomboy just annoys me. Even her name makes me wanna crawl out of my skin!”Mira said.
“We won’t be doing a show on Friday,”Ana smiled.
“Why?”Mira squinched her brows.
“Dummy, Our ten years friendship anniversary is on Friday,”Ana squealed.
“Oh My Gawd!”Mira’s eyes glinted.
“Inform the whole of New York about our upcoming partey!”
•The Next Morning~Stars High•
•Princpal Wood’s Office
Alex sat opposite the Cooper’s family, her eyes indecipherable.
Ana and Mira are with them and it’s like five against one.
Okay, four because no one knows who Mrs Cooper is supportive of.
“You really didn’t bring any of your parents, Alex. Just last week you were almost detained but the board decided to pardon you and you punched another student… not just any student, Isabelle Cooper— a member of Belles dance group, New York’s star”Woods said, disappointedly.
“That New York star would have respected herself,”Andrea entered, walking to stand beside Alex.
“Mr Andrea,”Woods widened his eyes.
“Alex’s my FRIEND, still don’t know how, but I won’t watch her be bashed for something she’s not wrong about. Isa whatever and Mira whatever got what they wanted”he blankly said, sitting beside Alex.
She smiled shortly.
“This is literally the longest words you’ve said and it doesn’t make sense!”Mira snarled.
“Shut up,”Andrea threw the antipsychotic drugs at her. It landed on her chest, sliding to the floor.
“You!”she pointed but Ana put down her hand.
“Stop embarrassing yourself, sweetie”Ana whispered.
“Does that give her the right to do that? Answer me, student!”Mr Cooper stood up, yelling.
Obviously, he doesn’t know who Andrea is.
“Your saliva fly too much. It’s all on my face”Andrea cleaned his face with his handkerchief.
Mira and Ana opened their mouths.
Isa whose head has been on her mother’s laps, sat up. Since her mouth is widely opened too, her new gold tooth is visible.
“Who’s this…”
“Mr Cooper. You wouldn’t wanna do that, please”Woods cautioned.
Mr Cooper scoffed and sat back down.
“Mr Andrea, we don’t do friendship here, like right now. Alex has to face the penalty”Woods continued.
Alex remained quiet. She wanna punch someone’s father. But that’s kinda… cliche. It’ll worsen the case.
“Well, I object”Andrea muttered.
“Me too,”Derek groaned, walking in as Rhapsody pushed him.
“Me eighteen”she winked at Alex.
“I was forced here, but I think I’m not regretting it anymore. Andrea’s here?”Derek chuckled, walking to sit beside Andrea. He crossed his arm over his shoulder but Andrea pushed his off.
“What’s all these, Mr Woods! Whether or not all the students of Stars High come here to frolic, this Tomboy of a student will be expelled from this school for touching my precious.”Mr Cooper marched to Alex again.
“Coop,”his wife called.
“Just pray your hand won’t touch me, bald head”Alex smiled at the man, Rhapsody and Derek laughed.
Derek even went ahead to measure the head with his fingers.
“I’m calling the other BODs and Omar Stone, this case is weird,”Woods turned his back on them, making a call.
“Yeah, call dad. He’ll order for the expel immediately he sees the troublemaker!”Mira clapped.
“Not only will she leave this school. She’ll beg Isabelle, write a letter of apology, come back again with a family member to beg. Trust me, little boy-girl, you’ll regret this, I’ll make your life a living hell and…”
Cooper stopped, not because he’s tired of talking but because someone shut him up.
“SHUT UP SHAMELESS, OLD FOOL”
A familiar voice sharp through the air, causing a force of silence.
Alex looked up at the exit and blinked.
TBC…
