BITTERSWEET DESIRE

Video on blog

Delilah strutted straight to her car while Raven trailed behind, chattering away like a parrot. Delilah already regretted becoming friends with her. Sure, she appreciated Raven's cheery vibe, but dang, that girl could talk your ear off!

Unfazed by Delilah's expressions, Raven kept bombarding her with questions. "Aren't you scared if Jace slaps you or sends his gang after you? Are you safe on this campus are you ……….?" She couldn't even finish her sentence before Delilah silenced her, placing her hands heavily on Raven's shoulders.

"Raven, seriously? You talk way too much! Can't you just be quiet for a second? I've told you, nobody, and I mean nobody, can even come close to touching me, let alone beat me. Do you even know who I am?" Delilah asked, a mischievous smile playing on her lips. Raven shook her head, indicating she had no clue.

"I'm Delilah Morgan, the one and only daughter of the mighty Morgan family," Delilah declared with a sense of pride that made Raven smile.

"You're so proud of your family," Raven remarked, playfully slapping Delilah's shoulder.

"So can we finally head to my place in peace?" Delilah exclaimed, opening the car door. But before she could even step out, her phone started beeping non-stop. She debated ignoring it, but the messages seemed urgent. Raven, in the same boat, couldn't resist checking their phone.

To their surprise, Delilah was already making waves on the school blog. Raven couldn't help but read the headline of the trending video: "Delilah Morgan: The fearless girl who wowed everyone with her mind-blowing dance move had slapped the notorious A^J band member, Jace." Raven calmly watched the video and then delved into the comments section.

?️ "How dare she slap my crush?"

?️ "Wow, she's fearless! I like her."

?️ "I think she's more talented than Harley."

?️ "Harley should take notes from her."

?️ "She's the queen of boldness."

?️ "Let's crown Delilah, she's worth it more than Harley."

Raven scrolled through the comments, unable to read each one, but the sheer number was mind-boggling. Over 1,000 comments in just 20 minutes.

Delilah raised an eyebrow, completely puzzled by what was happening. "Who posted this?" she curiously asked, trying to make sense of it all.

Before Raven could respond, a voice from behind interrupted them. It was Harley, slowly walking closer to Delilah. Delilah stood her ground, sensing that Harley would be rude.

Raven, knowing Harley's tendencies, tried to move closer to Delilah and whispered in her ear, but Harley was already getting closer.

"Why did you upload the video?" Delilah questioned, her tone firm.

"Don't you want to be famous? I thought I was doing you a favor," Harley replied with a mocking tone.

"What did you achieve by doing that?" Delilah stood her ground, unwavering.

"Achievement? That should be your achievement, not mine," Harley smirked, clearly restless.

"Phew!!! I'm not going to waste my time arguing with you. Over my dead body," Delilah declared, facing Raven. "Get in the car, baby girl," she said, opening the car door.

Harley glared at Harley before reluctantly going to the other side and getting into the car.

Delilah frowned, her face filled with a mix of emotions. It was as if she had remembered something important. "Why does my mind keep telling me that there's more to unfold in the future?" she pondered out loud. She entered the car, leaving Harley standing there.

Harley watched as the car started moving, feeling a wave of frustration wash over her. She clenched her teeth together, almost feeling like she wanted to disappear into the ground.

"Delilah Morgan," she muttered, angrily stomping her foot on the floor before walking away.

In the big seating room, three sets of people were chilling on the comfy couch, each holding a cigarette, puffing away like there's no tomorrow.

The room was all smoky, giving off a mysterious vibe and adding some spice to the scene.

Two of them were glued to their phones, cracking up at every little thing. Meanwhile, Jace was sitting there, lost in thought, still trying to process the fact that a girl had slapped him.

Every time he remembered, he would hiss and shift in his seat, clearly bothered by it.

Suddenly, Jace angrily threw his phone aside, flicking away the smoke from his hand."I can't believe this girl slapped me!" He exclaimed, his anger evident.

Axel looked at him and scoffed, "Not all girls are the same, man. I've been telling you, don't assume every girl will let you touch them however you want," he said.

"But I didn't even touch her, I was just... oh, f***!" Jace exclaimed.

“Just forget about it, bro! Just pray not to cross part with her again” Asher said his gaze not moving from the phone.

“Forget what? Did you even know me? I am Jace Hunter. I did whatever I wanted and I will make sure the girl paid for her sin” Jace said with determination.

“Did you know you’re the Top trending on the school blog?” Axel asked showing Jace the video where Delilah slapped him.

Jace watched the video with irritation. He read the headline and smirked dewily” So her name Is Delilah,” he said as if he had a plan on his mind.

“But who posted the video?” Asher asked.

“I think it’s Harley. She’s the only one that has the pride to evaluate my rule” Asher said

“Harley? That b***h” Jace said and pick up his phone dialing a number.

It took like 50 seconds before the caller picked.”Delete the video you posted right now” Jace said and hung up immediately

"Guys, can you believe this? That girl broke up with me! Who does she think she is?" Axel exclaimed with rage, his eyes turning fiery red.

"Well, that's your problem to sort out," Jace replied, his voice filled with anger.

"Wait, are you talking about your girlfriend?" Asher asked, still engrossed in his phone.

"Yeah," Axel replied simply.

"Which one?" Asher teased. "Lina, Thea, or maybe Bea?"
