Gasps. Screams. Breathlessness.

Every existing shock-induced action played out in the faces of students.

Palms flew to cover mouths, legs stretched up to stand, and eyes popped they nearly neglected their sockets for the ground.

Especially Stacy. She looks like someone told her to breathe through her mouth cus it’s crazily wide.

Cove’s lower lips is bleeding in the middle from the cut it got, but he still looks unaffected like the punch meant nothing as he stared right back at Dorian whose breaths are all-over the place right now.

Dorian is still planted in front of him, looking like a businessman who got cheated by his business partner on their returns.

The cameras recording all-over the cemetery right now means nothing. The watching eyes right now means nothing. His reputation and public figure shit means nothing.

He just wants to….murder this bastard in front of him.

Thieving bastard.

“I should have known, that forcing myself on you to be friends would later bring me down this path.” Dorian muttered to Cove’s face, making sure he’s the only one hearing it. “I told you—not once, not twice, that I’m sure about my feelings for her, that I like her a lot, but you had to….”

He punched Cove again for the second time, and Cove staggered, leaning on the tombstone.

The second round of gasps tore from the throats of students.

Stacy’s phone nearly dropped from her. She had to hold tight.

From another angle, Kane frowned, the glass of mocktail with him feeling too light suddenly.

He wants to throw it.

“Why the hell is the Pyro not hitting back? Wonder what he’s planning,” he muttered.

“But you had to make that move!!” Dorian yelled, holding Cove by the front of his hoodie. “Do you have no human feelings at all? Is there a heart in your chest at all? No…are you even human at all? Now I get why you’ve always been friendless! Who the hell in their right senses would wanna befriend a sick guy like you!”

The silence in the cemetery is deafening. If this is a horror movie, this is when a blood-curdling jump-scare happens.

Dorian looked back, his eyes meeting with Stacy who looks like she’s the most affected by the show.

Her eyes are still popped, the goth makeup not hiding even a little bit of her beauty. If anything, she looks dangerously beautiful tonight.

Dorian’s head banged, and he immediately wants to leave Cove and go to her just to have a little sniff of her pink rose scent.

Cove finally made a move. He straightened up from the tombstone, and Dorian’s grip loosened from the front of his hoodie.

Now the cut on his lower lip is deeper cos of the second punch, and blood has spread over that same lip he looks like a vampire who just finished draining blood.

“The thing is… Wesley…” He smirked. “Next time you chose a friend, run deeper researches and find out their quirks and innermost layers. Find out if they’re actually very sane or half sane or totally insane… If they feel attachments or shred it. Find out if they really wanna be friends.”

Dorian opened his mouth to talk, but Cove came closer, mouth to his ear slowly. “If a person is deaf and insane at the same time, it’s your sign to stay off his way, Wesley.”

He pushed Dorian out of his way and left that tombstone.

Dorian couldn’t move. He kept standing there like he has just been told a history.

Cove came face-to-face with Stacy, though her eyes are now less wide, but her foot is still so sweaty inside her heels, and she could hear the thumping of her mind as their eyes locked, till he walked past her.

He walked out of the cemetery gate, and two people followed him.

Trinidad and Kane.

Students still look dumbfounded, still holding their cameras in place for the rest of the tea when Dorian moved closer to Stacy.

He tried to take her hand and pull her out of the cemetery, but she shook her head, stepping back.

“Stace—”

She just stepped back again, and his eyes nearly turned teary.

“Oh my gawd! The internet! Is anyone else online? DIAMONDS are raging!” A student announced.

The cameras went down immediately, and everyone went online, then gasps multiplied.

Even Dorian pulled out his phone and went online, and his eyes came wide when he saw it.

DIAMONDS are on every platform, expression their rate for Cove.

Curses. Death wishes. Dragging.

• I wonder who the hell he thinks he is, a god?

• The fact that he hurt the BIG Rian!

• Yunno since that night Rian introduced him as his best friend in the last concert, I’ve been keeping tabs on that guy!

• Looking for the most unattractive character existing? It’s him! He’s so f+kin ugly too! He’s a scholarship student of RIDE I’m telling you he’s so f+kin arrogant!

• Oh that’s weird! Scholarship and arrogant? And now hurting Riri’s feelings by kissing the girl Riri likes?

• Hope he burns to death with his whole family. No, someone needs to bludgeon him to death right now!

• His family already died in the Bronx, don’t worry.

• Family? You mean graveyard guard father and bathhouse maid mother?

• Gross! His did Rian even end up befriending such guy!

• I’m telling you my Rian is too kind and now he’s hurt!

• Long life is never yours, COVID!

• Hope you die in that garage with no hope of rising you church rat!

• Did anyone see the Cemetery fight already? Riri beat him and he couldn’t even lift a finger.

• Y’all go to twitter! Haters are calling Riri a violent problematic artist!

• They’re mad! I’m on my way to twitter! Even if COVID dies by Riri’s hands, it’s worth it! That betrayer is wasting air by breathing!

• May you die nine hundred times over and over, COVID!

The comments are horrendously horrible, and while most of the students are laughing and reading the curses especially the COVID name, Dorian is shaking his head.

DIAMONDS even created betrayer stickers with Cove’s blurry pictures from the garage.

They’re all-over the platforms. They’re more than running wild.

Dorian ran out of the cemetery, and the DIAMONDS among the students rushed after him since he’s not with guards, but he was fast enough to get into his car and speed off.

Outside the cemetery gates, Cove is currently on top of his bike, Trinidad by his left and Kane by the right.

“Why the hell would you allow him to hit you without retaliating?” Trinidad questioned.

“He has a plan, I just can’t prove it,” Kane muttered.

“You shut up,” Trinidad faced him. “Aren’t you a first year student? When did juniors start interacting freely with seniors?”

Kane just nodded, wordless.

“You kissed the girl he likes?” Trinidad continued. “It’s not who I’m thinking, is it?”

Cove took that bottom lip into his mouth, licking off the blood.

“The internet has been too peaceful lately, think of it as a way to make flames rise,” he said.

“To spice up the internet, you messed with Dorian and his deranged fanbase?” Trinidad muttered. “Ice prince, are you insane? No…that’s not supposed to be a question cos you’re actually insane. You kissed Stacy? If you know he likes her then you shouldn’t have done th—”

“Didn’t only kiss her,” Cove smiled. “I touched the flesh on her chest, what’s it called again? Breast?”

“Ah…” Kane nodded.

“What the….” Trinidad muttered.

“And who says I can’t kiss her cos Wesley likes her? I go for what I want no matter the position. Who made rules of selfcontrol? He should be incarcerated.” He continued.

Then, DIAMONDS in the cemetery sighted them and started running towards them.

Cove started his bike, intentionally speeding towards them.

They ran out of his path fearfully, and as the bike sped off, some of them still ran after it.

“Who the fûck is ice prince and why is he like this?” Trinidad muttered.

“I’ll give you a hint,” Kane replied behind him, and Trinidad turned.

“Once a fire starts, it won’t stop till it conquers anything it’s burning—he’s just like that. Once he starts, he doesn’t care about who’s in his way even if it’s a blood relative, he’d get what he wants. Even if what he wants is something as insignificant as a needle, he’d go extra length to get it without minding who gets hurt, now think about if what he wants is a human?” Kane sighed, nodding.

“Stacy is in trouble, literally.”

“What are you? A shrink?” Trinidad frowned deeply.

“Oh more than a shrink,” Kane smiled. “Go read extensively about pyromaniacs, and you might understand what I’m tryna say.”

He went back into the cemetery, and Trinidad just stood there, frowning.

“Pyro?”

—

Back inside, Stacy is seated on a grave, cup of water in hand cos she needed water to digest what’s currently happening, but even the water isn’t helping.

Dorian punched Cove cos he kissed the girl he likes?

The girl he likes…is her?

Why? How? When?

Why would Dorian like her????

Her???

She drank from the water in her cup again, but she choked on it so she had to spit it out.

The only luck age has right now is that the girl wasn’t revealed to be her, but she’s sure that’d be revealed later.

Now she can’t even think straight. She came to this party with the intention of dragging Elmira to hell, but she’s not even thinking about that anymore as it is.

She has always been a girl’s girl, so why is it turning around?

What would Zendaya think?

She looked up, and when she saw Zendaya so focused on her phone, she gulped slowly.

Zendaya is almost shiting in her pants right now. She has used the mobile toilet two times since they got here, and now she needs to use it for the third time, but she’s not doing that.

She needs to see the face of the girl Cove kissed with his lips.

She needs to see the face of whoever it is and tear it down.

Same guy she’s on a weight loss journey for?

Shit, she can’t feel her head.

After searching for her name on posts and comments without finding anything, she threw her phone.

“Who the fûck is she?” She muttered.

Tasha and Tania are currently with Trinidad, in the middle of somewhere, and though the air around them is electric, Trinidad knew it’s important they talk.

“I’m gonna do all that I can to make you okay on Friday,” she told Tania.

“A pity vote? Aw, I’m touched.” Tania meowed cynically.

“You’re not in the list of people I can pity, Tania, but you not being on the field with me on Friday would be bullshit cos my dream is to outplay you this semester.” Trinidad muttered, the animal bloodstains on her giving her a serial killer aesthetic.

“You’re trying to be fair?” Tasha spoke up, arms folded.

“Yeah. Like I said, I’m gonna talk to Scott, then Scott and I are gonna go talk to the Chancellor. Your punishment will be changed, and you’ll be on field on Friday, and I’ll beat your arse!” Trinidad slammed.

Tasha reached for Trinidad’s hair to pull, but Tania stopped her.

“No, don’t do it. I knocked a guy to coma already. You can’t knock her too, we’ll get rusticated,” she said.

With a glare, Trinidad left them, and Tasha threw her arms.

“She’s so damn arrogant I wanna pumell her to the mud!”

“She moves with Cove, you don’t expect her to not share his attributes,” Tania replied.

Kehlani on her side is by the banquet table, and her eyes are on Max.

Max and Remo and Frank are shirtless, and for this party, they drew neon skulls on their skin, so under the red lanterns, it glows.

Scott is the only clothed one among them, and he looks better tonight than he looked in the afternoon.

Kehlani’s drink is already pouring away from her without her knowing. Now she’s shedding real tears.

On that side, they’re discussing about the scents of p+xxies, and of course Remo is the ringleader of the discussion, naming scents like he studied it in school.

“Have you fucked strawberry coochie before? You wouldn’t wanna stop!” Frank laughed.

“You can’t compare that to pineapple,” Remo grinned. “A girl who eats pineapple daily is always sweetly soaked down there.”

“I prefer apple, actually.” Max raised his hand.

“Why? Cos Elmira scents like that?” Frank rolled eyes.

Max laughed.

Scott isn’t in the mood to discuss about females with them since he knows nothing about coochies anyways.

“So no one is ready to go online and follow up DIAMONDS and COVID news?” He said suddenly.

“I’m still waiting for the fight to marinate, guy.” Remo said.

“What does that even mean?” Scott laughed shortly.

“You can’t be happier than me, gee. Those two were acting like inseparables, but look…pv+xy separated them! The power of pv+xy!” Max laughed.

“Respectfully, stop talking about female organ that way,” Scott cringed.

“Shut up!” Remo and Frank chorused, and Scott rolled eyes.

“So who do you think the girl Cove kissed is?” Max asked.

“S” Remo said.

“T” Frank added.

“You know the last three letters!” Remo grinned.

“Y’all are sick,” Max laughed.

“And this is only the beginning of the fight. Wait till I f+k Kaylee, wait till I gouge out Trevor’s eyes, wait till I find Kane’s weakness… The fight can then marinate completely,” Remo grinned, taking a long puff from his tobacco pipe.

“This f+kin Kaylee stuff is becoming overly serious,” Scott said.

“What do you think?” Remo chuckled, and then a crash came from behind them.

Another crash came from beside them. Fight in both angles.

Behind, it’s an ex girlfriend and the current girlfriend fighting.

Beside them, it’s two guys fighting from the skating team.

“This night is really a night of violence,” Frank nodded, blowing his tobacco pipe too.

Max is smoking weed.

“Look at them!” Remo pointed at a couple f+kin’ on top of one of the last graves in the cemetery.

He got his phone and snapped them, then several other couple f+kin’ under the cemetery trees and beside the mausoleum.

“After tonight, I’m gonna buy Elmira a Wraith to thank her for blessing my eyes. This is sickly good!” Remo sighed, turning his camera around.

Scott sighted Kane, and he immediately left the guys to go meet Kane in his angle.

Remo lowered his phone, noticing Scott’s eagerness to get to Kane.

His eyes shifted, and a dark smile parted his lips before he turned around like he didn’t see them.

Getting to Kane, Scott leaned on the tall tombstone beside them and raised his leg, then he rolled his trousers to show his skin.

“Satisfied? I got it shaved, but just so you know, I’m hairy, so give it a week to grow back,” he said.

Kane placed his hands on his Scott’s shoulders, smiling.

“You’re cute when you’re obedient, freckled sin.”

“And you’re always so cruel it’s a signature at this point.” Scott replied.

Kane’s smile broadened, then he leaned in and placed a kiss on Scott’s freckles on his nose bridge.

“Notice we haven’t been taking the fake dating stuff serious. It starts tomorrow.” He whispered.

“And Cove goalkeeping? The match is Friday,” Scott blinked.

“Trust me to keep to my promise. Cove will appear in the stadium on Friday, just get his sports regalia ready.” Kane assured.

He picked a cup of alcoholic wine and gave it to him.

Scott took it, having a small sip.

Kane’s phone buzzed, and he took it out with an hand.

His second hand stayed on Scott’s shoulder, caressing it as he read the text on his phone screen.

After the incident in the footies bathroom, he has started another investigation.

And this one is about Silas. He’s looking for every sign that he’s an abuser, so he’s interrogating the mansion guards one by one.

This is the last one, and he’s saying same thing as the rest….

MR. SILAS IS A GOOD MAN

“Good man?” Kane smirked. “I know he’s an abuser, just can’t prove it,but I’ll soon do that.” He muttered.

“And here’s to the mist important quarter of the party!!!” Roxy stood suddenly from where she has been sniffing cocaine.

The white stuff stained her nose like snow, and she clapped twice before stepping out of her side.

Trinidad still sat there with Elmira, but Trinidad’s mind is roaming about what Kane told her.

Pyro? Cove?

She still can’t wrap her head around it at all.

“Ready to know Elmira’s sweet boy? Raise your hands!” Roxy continued.

All hands went up. No single hand is left folded.

“Highlight!” Roxy screamed, and Elmira stood immediately.

She picked a cup of champagne, smiled proudly and retracted her steps, whisked her hair back before starting to walk to her boyfriend.

Cameras reappeared, everyone wants to feed their lenses and have a good time recording the moment.

Elmira didn’t miss a step. None of it misaligned. The cemetery went silent, nothing is in action except her and the cloud of smokes from Remo’s table. And she stopped right there….

On that table.

She lifted Max’s chin with a finger, and the guy opened his mouth. She poured the champagne inside, sat on his laps and claimed his lips, kissing him with the champagne mixing obscenely with their saliva.

Breaths shattered.

Kehlani spranged up.

The twins eyes widened.

Stacy stood too.

“What the….” Zendaya shouted.

“Yes! Kiss your man!!” Roxy screamed.

[Young Mansion]

Even with the boys around, the silence is always murderous at nights like this, but without the boys, it’s worse. The lights are out, the mansion looks dead.

No sounds, but it didn’t take long before that changed.

A shattering sound came from the kitchen, and Owen gasped fearfully, stepping back to avoid getting wounded.

She stared at the broken china at her feet, and she released a breath. She came for water in the freezer, but now she mistakenly broke something.

She turned around to go find a maid to cleanup, but she gasped when she saw Silas right behind.

Hands pocketed, glasses balanced on his nose, face void.

He looks like a unwanted plant that’s gonna survive and kill off the needed plants anyways.

A bend to rules.

Owen stepped back, pulling at the white long sleeve pyjama she’s putting on.

Silas looked at the mess on the floor, then back at his trembling wife.

“You’ve been acting like a good wife that you are since yesterday, but now you’re acting out of line again. You’re making me sad,” he muttered.

“It was a mistake, Silas. As you can see, I broke it mistakenly. I’d not throw it on purpose!” She shook her head fervently, goosebumps of fear lining her skin as Silas moved closer.

He crossed over the broken china on the floor, taking the last step to her and closing in on her completely.

“Dear. Beautiful. Wife. You should be punished,” he muttered, grinning.

Owen swallowed, her goosebumps multiplying in layers.

“Sil—”

“Walk over it,” Silas nodded.

“H..h..uh…” She gulped again,her bones rattling under her flesh.

“Walk over the broken china on the floor, and for the next one week, you’ll stay in your room with the excuse that you’re sick. You don’t want everyone to see you limping with torn bloody foot, right? My perfect wife.” He stroked her hair.

“Ple…se. Silas…” Owen gurgled despite not being underwater.

He pushed her forward, and immediately she stepped on the broken plate, she shrieked agonizingly.

Her blood pooled.

[No Sleep Garage]

DIAMONDS are a set of deranged fanbase. Cove knew it before he started this whole game, but see…

They took this to a whole new level.

He went home from the cemetery, but he didn’t meet Trevor at home, so he came here, knowing he’d be here.

And he’s indeed here, with Matteo and more than twenty of the street boys. They’re trying to put out the fire burning in the garage.

The garage is on fire, and the perpetrators are so obvious.

DIAMONDS.

Cove didn’t move close to the burning garage. He just stayed in front of the gate, watching as Matteo cried, running around with Trevor and the rest, pumping water inside.

Luckily, the fire hasn’t spread that much, so it’s still quenchable.

And this is a situation which shouldn’t bring thrill, but nature is nature. You can force nor deny it.

As he stood in front of the gate and watched the burning fire, as the blaze reflected in his manic eyes, as the heat of the flames hit him…

He felt the thrills. His cut lip stings, but he just ran his tongue over it, throwing his sight around the blazing garage building.

Matteo and the rest are almost done with putting out the fire right now.

Cove smiled, wanting to raise his hand,but the bracelet on his wrist curled with the chain on his hoops.

Snap!

Ymr bracelet got cut, and the black diamonds scattered.

Cove got his phone out, and his wallpaper is 120 written in italics with a burning fire background.

He clicked on one of the several apps on his phone.

This one is the camera watcher connected to the garage CCTV.

Even Matteo isn’t aware that there’s CCTV in the garage.

Trevor isn’t aware.

No one is… except him.

He saw the three grown arse DIAMONDS as they entered the garage with a keg of gasoline.

He smiled again.

“Masks would have saved y’all from me, but too bad.” He muttered.

Online is burning rigged now cos of him, so it won’t be bad if he burns something for real too.

Someone… actually.

But before he’d burn anyone, he has to get the supply of the chocolate bars tonight.

TONIGHT.

He has googled the product, and it’s only available in a store outside the city. A two hours drive from here.

He got back on his bike, the red blood on his lip glistening as he drove off on the road.

He could see a car driving after him, but that’s ok.

Some people love death.

[Dorian’s Mansion]

Kaylee was ready for Dorian’s righteous madness when he arrives, but she sure wasn’t ready for his total crash out like this.

When Dorian arrived, it’s hell on earth. Angela is still nursing her red face and fingers, but he doesn’t care.

The whole mansion is so hot. It’s as hot as the internet right now.

“Yiu employed bots to make hate comments on Fabio?” Dorian gasped.

“Yeah I did, but it’s not only my bots. Your DIAMONDS are also part of the trollers!” Kaylee stood to him.

“But you started it! You made bots post online that he kissed the girl I have feelings for!” Dorian yelled.

“And that’s true!” Kaylee glared. “Isn’t it? He kissed Stacy! I saw the video Angela made! So I spranged into action like any sane mother would! I’m not gonna let him take her away from you! Never!”

“And how many times do you want me to repeat that if I’m ever gonna get her, I’ll get her fairly! I’m not gonna use my fanbase to get a girl! I’ll earn her with my own efforts! I’m sure my feelings are real why the fûck do you keep meddling!” Dorian yelled angrily, body shaking.

“Fair?” Kaylee laughed. “Son, nothing has ever been fair about you so stop this! Now you wanna play righteous? You get Stacy, or I’ll kill myself for you and you’ll bury me!”

“Mama K!!!” He screamed.

“What!!!!” She screamed back. “Is it such a sin to want the best for my precious son? Let me tell you, this is just the start of the dragging. It hasn’t even started! I’ve tolerated that boy enough I was even thinking of offering him program, but now—”

Dorian walked out on him at this point, and her arms dropped.

“Dorian if you go out of this house then I’m disowning you!” She shouted, but not even that could stop him from exiting.

The exit sound reached her ears, and she flung a couch pillow away.

“If he finds out DIAMONDS went to burn the garage?” Angela muttered from her seat.

“Let him find out, I don’t care. Like I said, it hasn’t even started. I want Cove himself burnt!” Kaylee snapped, calling the power room.

“Yes, madam?” The guards responded.

“Double the bots. Triple it!” She ordered bitterly.

—

[Void Cemetery]

Disarray won’t make up for the ongoing chaos.

It’d be a weak word.

The moment Elmira made the announcement earlier, Glitz girls exploded especially Kehlani herself.

She was the one who removed her heels and threw them at Max and Elmira, causing them to break the kiss, and now they’re everyone’s drama.

Elmira is behind Max, and Kehlani and her girls are in front of Max.

Kehlani isn’t crying anymore. Her tears seized immediately she saw her replacement.

“You can do better, Maxwell! Elmira Wolfe? Elmira the prostitute? You’re so low the ground would be jealous!”

“Prostitute? Bitch, you’re not even close!” Max laughed with scorn. “You’re dry as fûck you look locked up! Yes she’s my girlfriend, what are you gonna do about it!”

“Tell them baby!” Elmira shot from behind him.

“You both are made for each other I swear! Match made in ashes!” Tasha laughed loudly.

“In abyss! Match made in the grave! Fighting you will be disgraceful so you can have him!” Tania added.

“Now we know who to call when we have leftovers!” Stacy laughed.

“Like, it’s so f+kin ridiculous! Cos of her BBL that’s gonna burst one day?” Zendaya grinned.

“But it’s not fuckin over! This of far from over, just mark my speech!” Kehlani glared at Max.

“And tonight is for you, use it well!” Stacy added. “Tommorow when we return to campus, I have a surprise package for you Elmira Wolfe!”

“Choke on your tears I don’t care! I got the man so y’all wanna bite! You don’t even have the eligible fangs cos anything that’s not Max’s c+vk can’t sink into me, blockheads!” Elmira laughed from behind Max.

Kehlani didn’t pick her heels before she stormed out of the cemetery.

The twins followed, then Stacy and Zendaya went last.

“Second round of madness just finished!” Remo shouted. “Now, can the party start properly?”

“Yoooooo!!!!!!” The students screamed back, the DJ music flooding into the cemetery as the dance floor opened.

Max and Elmira began kissing again with her hand in his p+nts, fingering his c+k like that.

—

Immediately the girls stepped out of the cemetery, Zendaya pulled Stacy back, and Stacy gasped.

Their faces met.

“It’s not you, right?” Zendaya questioned, causing the other girls to stop too.

They came back.

“Now what’s going on again?” Tasha questioned the two.

“You’re not the girl Cove kissed, right?” Zendaya repeated, and Stacy’s heart skipped.

She stayed silent, guilt nipping at her chest again and again like a heavy brick.

Zendaya gasped.

“It’s you? No…it can’t…”

“I wanted to tell you, trust me…” Stacy opened up, and their eyes widened.

Everyone of them.

“That is the reason I suggested truth circle yesterday, trust me. I was guilty and wanted to really really tell you after this party!” Stacy continued, shaking her head.

“You kissed the guy I have a crush on?” Zendaya muttered, eyes glaring.

“She kissed me, I just kissed back for some seconds—”

“Some seconds?” Zendaya gasped.

“Can we go home first?” Kehlani said.

“Ain’t nobody going home right now!” Zendaya fired at Kehlani.

“She kissed the guy I’m crazy about! That’s not a matter to take serious? Huh?”

“He kissed me!” Stacy argued. “He initiated and i was just—”

And that was interrupted by a slap from Zendaya which made Stacy gasp.

“Zen!” Tania stepped in, trying to slap Zendaya back, but Stacy blocked her.

“No…” Stacy refused.

“You slapped Stacy for a guy?” Tania glared angrily. “So what if they kissed? Are you already dating Cove?”

“The sisterhood code says you don’t cozy up to the guy your homie is interested in!” Zendaya yelled back.

“What stupid sisterhood code!” Kehlani shouted too, pushing Zendaya’s chest.

“Yesterday I was talking about dressing hard to this party but y’all hyped Stacy over me like I’m insignificant! Say what you want but y’all hate me so much!” Zendaya shot.

“Daya are you mad?” Tasha cautioned, but Stacy is already getting in her car by now.

“Stacy!” Kehlani and Tasha went after her, but she’s already driving off.

“Let her go! Let the betrayer leave!” Zendaya shouted furiously, stumping her feet.

And Tania immediately slapped her back.

Zendaya’s vision blurred.

Meanwhile, Stacy’s eyes are blurred as she drove on the road too. She’s gonna cry, and there’d be no one to console her.

The wheel felt too sticky in her sweaty palm, and her eyes are heavy with wetness.

She’s not a betrayer. Fine, she’s an attention seeker, but she’s not gonna kiss a guy her friend is crazy about just to get attention.

Just that…

Her thoughts were cut when she suddenly felt queasy, so she stopped the car and got out for some air so she won’t suffocate.

But almost immediately, another car stopped right in front of her on the road.

Dorian climbed out of it, his breathings unaligned and rushed.

He was actually on his way back to the cemetery when he saw her, and he had to stop right away and get down.

With emotive eyes, he approached her, but immediately she saw him, she turned around.

Before she could even open the car door, he hugged her from behind, his arms squeezing her small figure to himself.

“Rian…. please leave me alone…” She sniffled, crying slowly.

“I can’t… please let me see your face….look at me… Stace…” He whispered, sniffling too.

TBC.
