Chapter Two

   Will walks to his locker after the class and meets his other friends: Kenneth, Dave, Robert and Harrison waiting for him by his locker. Will and the four of them were popularly called 'Le Cinq' meaning the five. They were one of the most popular male students and major players in the school. 

  "Look who is approaching; it's Will, king of the jungle. All the girls are at his feet", Kenneth hails. 

  "Stop messing with me Ken", Will replies. "I just met the hottest girl ever". 

  "It's been a while since you said such, who's she?", Harrison asks. 

  "A newbie in my anatomy class"

  "Wait you were amongst those in the anatomy class today?", Dave exclaims. "I heard a hot newbie attended class with you guys today. Tell us about her"

  "She's pitching tent with Rick and Genny"

  "Wouldn't that ruin it for you?", Robert asks. 

  "Oh please Bob, is there any girl I can't get if I want her?", Will boasts and they cheer. 

  "So tell us more about her", Dave prompts.

  She was truly hot enough to get into the rumours already. She had a beautiful face and body, and the best smile ever. She was only putting on a pink sweater on a black gypsy skirt which stopped just before her knee leaving her beautiful legs and a little of her laps in seductive display. The most endearing part of it all was how comfortable she seemed, not being all jumpy like other newbies.

  He was so going to enjoy wooing her, he thinks to himself with a smirk. 

  "Stop standing there smiling like an idiot and say something", Robert urges. 

  "I know you want me to describe how she looks, but, I'm going to keep it to myself", Will announces and they groan.

  "Not like we will not see her soon, she's not meant for your eyes only", Kenneth retorts. 

  "But before then, you would be almost crazy with curiosity", Will jeers. 

  "Come on Will, what does she look like?", Dave pleads. 

  "I am not going to answer anyone" 

  "Arghh… You are so annoying", Kenneth complains.

   *******************************************

  The following day, Annie and Genny come to school together as they found out that they lived in the same neighborhood and agreed to walk together everyday. When they enter the school, Will and his friends are talking loudly in the hallway as Will was yet to tell them what she looked like and they were getting restless. 

  "Will come on, don't be a dick", Harrison says. 

  "Call me anything you want. I'm not going to say anything", he replies and they start talking at the same time in protest.

  "Whoa, who is that goddess over there?", Robert exclaims with a whistle. They follow his eyes and see Annie walking in with Genny. 

  "Wait, that must be the hottie from yesterday's anatomy class. I'm so going to talk to her right now", Dave declares and Will smacks his head. 

  "She's mine, piss off", Will announces and the guys grumble. 

  "Why do you always get the pretty ones?", Kenneth complains but Will walks away from them to meet Annie. 

  "Annie" 

  She turns with a smile as she already knew his voice. Who wouldn't know that sexy voice from hearing it once?  

  "Hey Will", she replies

  "Hey Will", Genny greets. 

  "Oh Genny", Will says.

  "So you are just seeing me huh? I suddenly got invisible?", Genny queries him. 

  "Well you might seem invisible if you're walking with this beauty Queen, she's so eye-catching", he replies making Annie blush. 

  "Get out of here, you're messing with her head" 

  "I'm not!" 

  "Will, get lost". 

  "Fine, fine, I will, but Annie, the lunch offer still stands", he invites and goes away. 

  "Annie are you......"

  "I told you guys I can handle players, don't worry about me. I'm going to flirt back with him but with no attachments". 

  "Fine, but don't say we didn't warn you".

  *******************************************

  It is lunchtime at the Brooklyn high school cafeteria and everywhere is rowdy and noisy. Genny and Annie enter and go to get their trays before heading towards a free table at the end of the cafeteria. They are heading there when they pass Will's table with the other Le Cinq guys. 

  "Yo hottie, come join us over here", Dave calls out to Annie and Will glares at him. 

  "Ignore him. But really, you should join us". 

  "No thanks, we'll be fine on our own", Annie answers and they continue on. 

  "Wow look at those legs, and the ass, shit she's so perfect for bedding", Robert comments and receives a glare.

  "Bob, You have one more trial till you will get hit by me", Will threatens with seriousness and the guys calm down. Crossing Will was never a wise step to take.  

 "Fine, sorry", Robert apologizes. 

 "Good. Now get it straight all of you, she's mine. When I'm done with her, you can try your luck but till then, I don't want any of you close to her". 

  Later in the day, Will goes for a class leaving his friends alone and Dave spies inside the class Will entered then turns to the guys.

 "The hottie's not in the class", he announces.

 "What are you thinking? You know how Will can get, better diss that idea", Kenneth warns. 

 "Come on, it's just for the period of the class. Don't be a sissy", Robert taunts.  

 "I'm not doing that shit with you guys" 

 "Fine suit yourself", Dave says and they walk off. Annie is coming out of a class when they see her. 

  "Annie", Robert calls. "Got a class?" 

  "No" 

  "Argh, why are you so pretty?" 

  "I don't know, it just happened". 

  "Aish, you must be a witch. You have stolen the beauty of other girls", Dave drawls and she laughs. They begin chatting and are consequently oblivious of when the bell rings. Will comes out of his class and finds Kenneth and Harrison by his locker. 

  "Where are they?" 

  "Somewhere", Kenneth answers and Will walks pass him to open his locker. He is keeping his books when he hears an overly familiar laughter, It was Annie. He turns and sees her with Robert and Dave. Rage courses through him and he tosses his remaining books into his locker. He shuts it loudly and walks towards them. He puts his hands round Robert and Dave's necks. 

  "Hey Will, is your class over?", Annie greets heartily.

  "Yes, it's gym class now" 

  "Oh, then I should go find Genny" 

  "Yes you should". 

  "Bye Bob and Dave, it was nice meeting you both", she says and walks away. Robert and Dave who had been quiet since Will's arrival turn with forlorn looks. 

  "Look Will, we're sorry" 

  "Sorry won't do, I warned you all. Get ready, we shall see during gym", Will says and walks away angrily. 

  Gym in Brooklyn high school was basically just the teachers leaving a bunch of teenagers to have fun together. They did pushups somedays or a little sport but the teacher couldn't watch everyone, could he? 

  Robert and Dave were particularly unlucky as the teacher claimed he had to head out and left them roaming on their own. Immediately he walks out, Will walks towards Robert and Dave. 

  "Five seconds to choose your weapon before I start". 

  "Will let's talk about this", Dave pleads. 

  "It's action time nigga, no more talking. Five seconds is out", he says and smiles. He immediately swings at Dave and a fight began. 

  It ended with Will singlehandedly beating up Robert and Dave. No one cared to interfere even Rick because, knowing Will, they knew it would go wrong. He walks out of the class and Robert and Dave are left to struggle on their own. Kenneth and Harrison go and help them.

  "I warned you, didn't I?", Kenneth says.
