Alphas Revenge

Last day in town

It was the 18th birthday of Liam. Mr. and Mrs. Paige were invited and so their daughter.

“The new red dress I bought for you,” Arora said to her daughter for the hundredth of time when Dre rejected going to their neighbor's son's birthday party.

“But I am not in talking terms with him. What good can come out of this?” she said irritatingly.

“I don’t want any excuses, young lady. We want you there on time and nicely dressed, with a gift, ” Arora said.

“Mother!!” Dre complained.

“Dreamy! This can be there last day here. They are moving out of town. Cannot you behave properly for once,” her mother argued.

“Can be! Can be! They are not moving out, they can be,” she emphasizes.

She knew the bonding they have with Liam’s parents, but that is not the issue for her. Why she was being dragged in this was her concern. And it was not like she has to see him in the evening only, she has to see him in the school too. 

They go to the same school though her subjects are different. Additionally she is not in talking terms with him for the last 10 years.

Dre looked at the clock. It is about time for the bus and she could not convince mom that she does not want to hang around in her friend’s house.

  “You are coming, that is it. And now go.” Arora said, “And I don’t like your friend Jay”.

Dre sighed.

“He's only my friend, mother,” she replied.

“He is a mutt if you ask me,” Arora said.

“So is Liam,” Dre replied to her mother.

“Don’t compare those two. You don’t know what Liam is. He is a gem unlike.. ”

Dre took her bag and exited the kitchen before her mother counts and gives every little detail of Liam. In her mother's eyes, Liam is the great of the greatest. Even greater from her.

It was not new for her to listen to Liam's praise. The aunties, elder’s, children in her district and lane, all say the same. Like they have been designed to praise him and she is the only one with thorns.

She got outside of her house where she saw the apple of her mother’s eyes, Liam Ace. 

She looked at him and disgustedly looked away.

It was the truth from that day when her father scolded her for the-first-and-the-last time till now, she has not been in a fight. She maintains her distance with him in genuine life and in her thoughts if that can be possible.

Liam surely has grown into a handsome man. Her female friends that have bullied him once with her, are all over him. Not in front of her, but she knew that, anyway. The only ones who stick around were her male group of friends. Jay and guys, that hated Liam with guts.

 Though she was a distance away from Liam, she never stopped her dear friends to stop bashing against him. They continuously teased and tackle with Liam, but Liam was not interested in them or so.

 The bus reached in front of their house and Jay’s head was the first to be seen.

“Come on in, darling. Good Morning my Dre,” he greeted Dre.

  Dre smiled knowingly and stepped in the bus with a brief touch on Liam's shoulder, pushing him away. Liam let her go inside first. As he stepped in, he sensed a punch coming to his face, but he stopped with his hand, with no force at all. It was Jay. He knew that and he also knew Jay said ‘my Dre’ intentionally.

“ok,” the guard said and locked the door again.

“So, this is the p***y’s last day,” Jay said loudly regarding Liam.

Dre did not answer as expected but looked away in response. Some girls were heartbroken to hear that. A popular guy like him was moving from the area. For some girls, the reason to be friends with Dre was only to come to her house and gaze at Liam's sweating body while he trains himself in the garden. They fake Dre with their words, that they enjoy staying at her house but secretly enjoy the crush of their life. 

Dre recognised this few years back when she had invited her friends to the house in summer at a pool party. Till that time she did not know what the girls have in mind. Even the Ace family was out of the town as always at the time of summer. This was the reason she never doubted at their intentions too. But what she did not knew that girl's were aware of the day he was returning. And that was the day of the pool party. 

All girls had planned to seduce Liam even if it means to give him a hint of what is inside their clothes. They were playing with water when one girl starts the pipe and pours the water on each other. All were shouting and giggling in the least clothes. At that time a girl passed a fake message to Liam that Dre has called for him. When Liam reached the pool, where all the girls were playing touching each other; seeing him, they all cheered at his arrival expect Dre. They both looked at each other for a while then Dre left the pool saying nothing. Liam saw the figure going back in the house, soon he escaped too. That was the last time that she had called anybody at her house.

Dre still can see the girls are high on heels for him today too.

Susan the hot cheerleader got up and sat beside Liam, “Oh dear, why did not you tell that earlier? You want a gift for me?” she said with pushing her chest in Liam's face. She was drawing circles on his legs while Liam was busy gazing outside the window. Susan deliberately touched the area between his thighs to get his attention.

“f**k, Liam is getting lucky today” some boys cheered and hooted for him while others just get jealous over his lucky fate.

But this gift line reminded Dre that she has to get one gift for him too. 

The classes were soon over for the day and they have to take the bus too to reach home. For the past 10 years this was the common place where Dre and Liam meet every day but not talk once. The bus was ready to leave and as Liam reached his seat; it drove off, as he was the last to come in. He had got few gifts, even when he refused many. Dre looked over the gifts and thought why her mother is forcing her to buy one when he has so many now. He will not even remember and nor will care. Today especially by luck she was sitting with Jay on the next backseat and Liam with his gift in their front.

“You know the recent fresh news,” Ash said to Jay.

“What?” he replied without noticing him.

“Our pathetic boy got lucky in the gym room today”

Jay moved to Ash for more explanation, “Liam and Susan f****d in the gym room” he announced in the bus and hooting starts.

Susan folded her legs and puffed her chest.

Jay looked at Dre, “Whatever...” she replied.

“Looks like we now know his standards.” Jay said, suggesting Susan being infamous for. 

Susan was known to be the girlfriend for half of the school and she was two times pregnant with the schoolboys too.

Ash laughed, “Looks like we can have a small Liam soon. Little pathetic kid”.

This time Liam stood up to chase Ash. His knuckles were tight and his face was too red. Steam could be seen coming from his face. His muscles were flexed visibly even when they are in the tight hold of jacket. This was the scariest face some have seen in the lifetime and Liam has this first display of anger. In usual he was calm, collected and uninterested. This was the first time he was a thunderbolt. Ash’s water and blood level dropped, which was straight visible on his face.

The noise was abruptly cut off, and the hooting stopped. The guard also did not want to meddle with the high bull. He guessed that the Ash boy will not even take one hit by him too. It would not be a surprise to anybody if Ash fainted any moment now.

Dre asked Ash to settle down, “Ash” she warned, “do not be nosy”.

This made Liam look at her, and their gaze met. After a while he gets back to his seat. 

The rest of the ride was silent as it can be. Liam and Dre stop came, and they stood up to leave. Jay also stood up.

“Where you are going?” Dre asked.

“With you,” he replied, “I have a work down the lane”.

They both exited before Liam. Liam’s eyes were attached to the Jay’s hand, which was on Dre's waist. The bus dropped and left. Jay kissed Dre on cheek, “Well see you around, the school is finished anyway”.

Jay can feel Liam eyeing him and thus said aloud, “Your neighbour is getting clear, thus we will get more space to ourself”.

Dre did not understand, but still not pried. She already has to run some errands and look for a gift.
