AN UNUSED OFFICE*

"He's crazy" he mumbled, returning to the lecture hall.

AN UNUSED OFFICE*

Pearl removed her hand from Roonie's immediately they came in, and she started wiping her lips with her palms, making Roonie scoff.

"That's dumb"

"Don't talk to me, you kissed me without warning. Do you do this with other girls too? Is this why you told me to dress like this? So you could kiss the hell out of me in front of everyone?" She replied, sounding breathless.

"You liked it" he replied point-blank.

"I...

"You kissed me back and even wounded my lip, so fuçking find another excuse" he cut her off, and she folded her fist, bringing it to his chest to hit.

"Who the hell are you?"

Hit

"Tell me, why are you protecting me?"

Hit

"Why did you kiss me like that?"

Another hit

"What was your intention?"

She was about to hit him again when he caught her hand and brought down the small fist.

"Have I told you how bad I wanted to tie you up and fûck you hard after you kissed Jeremy in front of me? I could have hacked into your house as usual and do just that, but I didn't want you to land in a coma. It'd be beautiful but you'd have been shaken, so take this as my little punishment" he slammed the words at her face.

She quickly took her hands from him.

"I'm not yours, when will that sink into your skull?" She said, looking up at him.

Why is he so stupidly tall?

And stupidly handsome.

"You kissed Jeremy to prove that, but you only proved how much of a joke you are, so quit and drop the fuçking attitude already" he replied, his voice lacking softness this time.

Their eyes locked afterwards, and all she saw in the orbit were pure madness and devilishness from hell.

He looks super scary when he looks at her this way, so she broke the contact and looked at herself.

"I can't wear this out again, I don't want eyes on myself anymore. It's uncomfortable" she muttered.

Roonie snapped his fingers, and Hyce came in, holding a plastic shopping bag.

"You look good" she winked at her, and Roonie took the bag from him then cursed him inwardly.

'Hope you never wink again, arsehole'

Hyce left, and he handed her the bag

She brought out the content, and she was shocked to see her usual baggy jean trousers and big t-shirt color white... sneakers too, and they're all new.

"You had these prepared?" She looked at him.

"I might just have to gouge out the eyes of all the students who saw you in what you're wearing, meaning almost all the students of this college will go blind. Cause: they saw what they shouldn't have fuçking seen" he replied emotionlessly, and her eyes widened.

"Don't talk like that!" She quickly attacked.

"Dress up" he replied and walked out.

Pearl quickly dressed up in the new clothes, and it only took three minutes to get done, then she noticed the price tag on the things.

The shirt alone is close to 100 euros, and the jean is more than 100, then the sneakers is 400+

They're all designer wears, and she gasped as she removed the tags.

How could he?

Her parents might be ok financially, but they're not very ok to the point of buying her designer wears, so all her wears are normal boutique products.

She sighed before leaving the room, meeting him outside.

"They're too expensive" She said.

He only came closer and slid a lock of her sleek hair behind her ear without a word.

"Come to campus tonight. It's the night of games" he muttered.

"Not coming" she rolled eyes.

She pushed his hand away, then she made faces at him before rushing down the hallway, leaving that bloc.

Roonie's small smile happened, then Axel and Hyce came out of the other room, both standing on either side of him.

"You just like topping the charts, don't you?" Axel chuckled.

"I swear he has a knack for it. When are you gonna tell her you're only protecting her for your father?" Hyce replied.

"Does it still look like he's protecting her for his father?" Axel smirked.

"Where the hell were you both last night?" Axel faced them.

"At dinner with my bîtchy mum" Axel replied.

"At home with Morgan" Hyce replied with a blink.

"I was fuçking arrested and none of y'all knew about it. I told you both to keep your phones by your sides arseholes!" Roonie rolled eyes.

"Bloody hell" Axel muttered shockingly.

"Fuckity fûck" Hyce added.

"Pearl told me about it" Rebekah appeared.

"You could have told us, Beks" Hyce replied.

"What's the use? He already got released. He didn't even spend ten minutes, and guess what? It was his D-man who came to get him" Rebekah replied.

"Master X? That's the best thing I heard this year. Can today get any better?" Hyce laughed.

"What's it gonna be, boss? About Rook?" Rebekah asked.

"Not sure yet, weather he's living or dying. Tonight will tell" Roonie replied.

Axel stayed quiet, and the thick tension between him and Rebekah is so obvious as they all left the bloc too.
