A FEW DAYS AFTER.
It was a Thursday morning, the day was different unlike other days and this Hazel noticed. She quietly slipped into her seat after struggling into the class because of the crowd at the entrance.
"hi" Chloe greeted and walked to Hazel
"hey, what's happening?" she replied and asked
"just the normal stuff that happens every Thursday" Chloe replied
"what's that?" Hazel asked
"it's a bounty. the Students Secret Bounty App, SSBA" Chloe replied while Hazel looked confused, she could not even guess the meaning.
"what the f*ck is that?" Hazel asked then laughed.
"on the app, a student places a bounty on someone they..." Chloe was explaining when Nathan walked to them
" hi Hazel" Nathan greeted
"hi Nathan" she replied as he locked eyes with Chloe while she turned red. He pulled his eyes off her as he turned back to Hazel
"you haven't submitted some requirements to me" he said
"oh okay, I'll bring them." she said. Just then did Ryan interrupt.
"hey butts" he called Hazel with a smile
"what the hell is that?" she asked
" what I wish to call you now. Don't you know what you have?" he said and asked as he nodded at her butts then bit his lips
"f*ck you "she cursed a bit loud as she left
" I would love that actually "he said aloud with a smile as everyone swooned.
" what's the deal with you two?" Nathan asked with a smile
"there'll be an 'us' soon" Ryan replied and left.
"Nathan..." Chloe called but Nathan walked away.

Hazel was coming out of the restroom when Chloe nearly bumped into her.
" Hazel you have to go hide, now!" she said
" why? what's going on?" Hazel asked with an awkward laugh.
"there she is!" some students yelled pointing towards Hazel while she was confused, she looked back thinking it was not her but before she realized it was her, Chloe already pulled her with her hand, heading down the hallway.
"Chloe what the heck is happening?" Hazel asked as they ran down the stairs.
" Luna placed a bounty on you, you must head to the hostel now" Chloe said as she pushed her to climb the short fence.
"what about you?" Hazel asked
"I'll come meet you" Chloe replied.
Hazel met a group of student immediately she crossed over the fence
"what the f*ck..." she cursed, trying to figure out what to do next.
"she's mine... I'm taking her..." the students said as they ran to her. Hazel immediately ran into the garage and met a blue BMW about to move. She quickly hopped into the passenger's seat and shut the door.
"help me please" she pleaded then looked at the driver.
"what?! you?!" she yelled, looking at Ryan who was at the same time surprised.
" you need my help?" he asked with a slight smile.
" not anymore "she said and tried to alight but he locked the door.
"you're mine" he said and took out his phone then clicked 'FOUND' on the app while everyone's phone chimed.
"I'm not some property" she declined and tried to open the door but he drove out of the garage, heading towards the main building.
Ryan alighted then turned around the opened the door, offering her a helping hand which she declined.
"what? Luna placed a bounty on hazel because of Ryan but he ends up being her master? Luna is gonna be so upset, but she can't do anything..." the crowd murmured while Luna fumed with anger before she stormed back in.
" Hazel is mine... my slave" Ryan said mistakenly and immediately corrected himself.

Hazel stared at nothing in particular after her friends explained what the bounty meant while they surrounded her.
" you don't need to worry, Ryan is a good guy" Chloe said as she held Hazel's hand.
"we all know he's not" Zoe spoke through her teeth.
"you know, I can actually accept the other stuffs like cleaning and all but I certainly cannot accept... s*x! what the f*ck is that?I can't even stand him let alone ..." she said and sighed then stood up abruptly, heading to towards the door.
" where are you going?" Chloe asked
" to the proprietor " she said and they quickly stopped her.
" he can't do anything about it because no one knows who is behind it"
"and no one has ever gone against the game, everyone loves it" they said which made Hazel scream out
"I hate this place" she said. Hazel opened the door and met Ryan waiting
"follow me" he said
