Maddie immediately went to her favorite spot... At the back of the cafeteria.
She sat on the wooden chair and brought out her headphone ready to listen to her favorite music.
Just as she put it on... She felt a presence behind her and she smiled thinking it was Cameroon but when she turned, she saw Damric.
“What could a pretty girl be doing outside.... At this time?“ Damric asked as he chuckled.
Maddie just eyed him.
“Another playboy” She whispered to herself before putting on her headphone and Damric smile flattered. He never felt this ignored in his life.
He then turned to leave but then saw Cameroon standing in front of him and he chuckled.
Then he moved closer to Cameroon who had his eyes fixed on Maddie.
“So this is the reason you came to Clifford high?“ Damric asked his voice barely above a whisper. And Cameroon chuckled lightly... He didn't want Maddie to hear him.
He had come to Clifford high only for two reasons and number one was to find the person who shot his sister.
He then walk past Damric, not wanting to cause chaos and approached Maddie who had her eyes closed.
She just felt safe whenever listening to the sound of music and he wanted her to feel safer with him.
Damric watched from where he stood.
He didn't want to ruin his brother's plan. Not yet.
Until he discovers the reason his brother came to Clifford high. With that he walked away.

A sleek black car pulled over, and the door swung open.
Mr Reed came out dressed in a casual outfit as usual. He then walked in... Greeted by staffs and others workers.
“Mr Reed, Good morning” someone greeted from behind and he turned to see suize walking behind him in a black slender fitting suite. Her black curly hair were let down and he gulped hard.
She was looking extremely beautiful and hot at that moment. He didn't know if she usually makes him feel that way on purpose... But looking at her innocent eyes.... He hated himself.
“Sir..“ Suize called again and that was when he realized he was still staring at her.
“Uh... Yh. Good morning to you too. What are my schedules for today?“ He shuttered just as they entered into his private elevator.
“None for now sir. But your coffee is already prepared. Let me know if there's anything you need” Suize said and Mr Reed nodded.
Suize had been this way ever since he lost his wife. Always caring and looking out for him even when she was just his personal assistant. Although he liked her... He just couldn't bring his self to tell her.
“Thank you suize” he muttered immediately entering his office and suize smiled before walking out.

🦋 Langlin's Villa 🦋
“ Sir! Breakfast is served” announced one of Mr Langlin's private maid and he nodded swiftly but just when the maid was about to turn, he held her waist pulling her towards him.
“Sir... Your wife is around” the maid shuttered and Mr Langlin chuckled.
“And so? Let's just spend time together please. And when did you start calling me sir... You can always call me those sweet words you use to call me back then”
“That was before.... We can't continue this way” the maid said moving away from his grip.
“But.. we can be back together”
“No... I can't!“ The maid shuttered before running out of the room.
“Wait.. I didn't mean to scare you..“
Mr Langlin just stood there helpless.
He knew he shouldn't be seen with her but... He just couldn't help.

🦋🦋 Clifford high 🦋🦋
Maddie was still engrossed in her music that she didn't notice Cameroon who sat besides her.
She began to feel sleepy and didn't know when she finally slept on Cameroon's shoulder leaving him shock and happy at the same time.
He felt overwhelmed to have her sleep on his shoulder and a sly smile spread across his lips.
But then something wet touched his left hands and he looked at it. It was a drop of water....
No it was a drop of tears from Maddie's eyes.
He just couldn't tell why she cried even asleep... He thought she was a strong fearless girl.... But now she was crying. Crying on his shoulder and he was sad and happy and the same time.
Sad he didn't know the reason she was crying and happy he was there for her.
They remained like that for a moment and even when Cameroon felt his hand getting weak, he had to remain still. He didn't want to wake her up. And he stared at her for quite awhile. Her hair was so messy making strands of hair fall across her face. Her pink heart shaped lips were slightly opened.... Making him gulp. She was so beautiful that he thought of kissing her... But had to control his urge.
He didn't want to harm his cute little bunny.

“This is bad... Jasmine won't let you go free” Avery said. Cecelia had just told her what happened earlier when Damric arrived.
“She can't... But he seems so nice though”
“Cecelia! Are you hearing yourself... Jasmine is already into him... “ Avery said trying to warn Cecilia and then she spotted jasmine coming towards them with bunch of girls behind her.
“Jasmine is... Coming here” Avery muttered trying to keep her voice low.
“Where?“ Cecelia asked as she followed Avery's gaze.
And then her eyes landed on jasmine who was now standing before her.
“Ce. Ce. Lia.“ Jasmine called slowly swaying her hands in the air.
“Stay clear away from my property!“ Jasmine shouted and everyone in the classroom stopped their activities and turned to them.
👤 “Cecelia is just being a b***h!“
“Property? When did someone starts to become your property?” Cecilia scoffed and Avery pinched her.
“Well, he's not just someone... He's mine and mine alone!“ Jasmine yelled.
👤 “If only Damric was seeing this”
👤 “Birds of the same feather flockes together”
“We shall see” Cecilia said trying to walk past her but jasmine pulled her back. Dragging and pulling her hair.
“Arhhh!“ Cecelia winced in pain and Avery tried to intervene but jasmine was too strong and kicked her to the floor.
“Get out you ape!“ Jasmine screamed at Avery and Avery lowered her hair in shame.
If only she was white as the others.
👤 “Jasmine is gonna win this fight”
👤 “Fighting for a guy who's not even he...“
“Enough!“ Someone thundered and everyone turned to see who it was. It was Damric... He was standing at the door with someone else.
Jasmine immediately let go of Cecilia's hair who immediately fell flat on the floor breathing heavily.
“Damric...“ Jasmine shuttered twisting her fingers.
Damric immediately ignored her and went towards Cecelia who was laying on the floor.
“Are you okay?“ He asked and Cecelia raised her head to look at him.
“Did she hurt you?“ He asked again this time sitting her down.
“Yh. I'm fine” Cecelia said and threw Jasmine a glance. Jasmine was already fuming angrily. She couldn't bear to see Damric ignoring her for Cecelia.
“Hey, are you hurt?“ Jasmine heard someone say behind her and she scoffed.
“Micheal, do I look like I'm hurt?“ She thundered angrily. No matter how Micheal tried to be.... She was never satisfied simply because Micheal wasn't rich.
👤 “Poor Micheal..“
👤 “He's not just her type”
Jasmine then hissed angrily before walking past him and he followed her...
“Wait... Jasmine!“ But she glared at him and continued walking away ignoring the flutter in her chest.
She just didn't want to admit she liked him too... Fearing people might despise her for falling in love with a pauper like him.
Micheal had liked her since grade eight and still did up till now... And he wasn't giving up easily. Although he had asked her out... She always rejected saying he was low class.
During the last grade he had even asked her out again for the twelfth time but still got the same answer.

Maddie woke up feeling happy. She stretched her hands widely as she yawned. This was the most peaceful sleep she ever had.
“Gwadd..“ She murmured still yawning as the cool breeze drifted through her hair making them flip backwards.
Then she looked at her phone and saw it was past closing time. She quickly arranged her hair and searched for her headphone.. but didn't find it across her neck.
Turning swiftly to the other side of the chair.. to see it was there, but instead she saw Cameroon sitting beside her.
And her jaw dropped opened.
Have she been sleeping on his shoulder?
“Hi, there” she muttered trying to avoid the sensation in her tummy.
She had never felt that way before... And was shocked.
Cameroon smiled and handed her her headphone then she collected it putting it back around her neck.
Just as she was about to say any further words.... Cameroon took her phone and his brow furrowed in shock.
He then typed something and showed it to her.
“What happened to your phone?“ The text read and she smiled weakly not wanting to tell him he was the one who caused it.
“It's nothing.. I just fell and it cracked” she said but Cameroon didn't believe her. He then went to her phone and typed another text showing it to her.
“Tell me, am I the one who did this?“ The text read and Maddie took a deep breath before answering. She wasn't used to telling people anything regarding her life but she felt safe telling him.
“Yes, but you don't have to worry about it” She said and Cameroon showed her another text.
“I'll get you a new one” the text read and Maddie smiled.
This was the second time she was smiling for a guy... Him.
“Thanks..but you don't have to. I'm so happy for your suggestions but... you can buy yourself a phone” she said and Cameroon smiled as her and showed her another text.
“Are you really happy?“ the text read and Maddie's eyes sparked in confusion.
“Yh... I am happy. I really am” she muttered wondering why he asked her that.
But the question is... Was she really happy?
