DIAZ MANSION

"You're fine, baby" Rebekah stroked her hair, and Morgan sighed.

DIAZ MANSION*

Rue is currently in her room, sitting up in bed with a neck pillow around her neck as she scrolled through her phone, searching for Roonie's social media account.

He has none...on F******k or t*****r or I*, he's not there, and it's frustrating.

How could someone that hot not show himself off?

It's a waste!

Or does he have a secret account only his friends know about?

"Roonie again? You know Rook won't take it easy with you if he finds out you're crushing on him" Jeremy's voice said beside her, and she jumped.

"When did you even get here!"

Jeremy stood.

"When you were busy ogling him on your screen" he said.

"I don't give a damn...just because we're members of Rook's club doesn't mean he gets to control our tastes too" she replied with a straight face.

"Rook hates Banks, don't you get it?" Jeremy glared.

"No I don't, now get out of my room!" Rue pointed at the door.

Jeremy scratched his head sheepishly and nodded before walking out.

"Old for nothing" Rue muttered, returning to her phone.

NEXT DAY, WILSON'S MANSION*

Pearl woke up to a great headache, and it seems to even get worse the moment she opened her eyes.

Thanks to her friends, she was able to get home last night, and she's sure she's the only one in this house right now cos according to calendar, her parents are currently on the plane for a business trip.

She stretched her hand to the drawer top and took a note she saw there.

~•~Your friends told me what happened last night, and I'm sorry about it. Yunno I'll never judge you, but can you please cut back on your alcohol intake? I don't wanna see you hurt again, I won't be able to bear it. I love you so much Pearl bby. We'll talk when i return from the trip tomorrow~•~

From your Ma.

A small smile appeared on Pearl's face as she dropped it.

She got her phone and texted the girls that she'd be staying back today.

She can't go to campus with the condition of her head right now, and how is she gonna talk to Roonie after what happened last night?

She's not the type to apologize, and it's not even her fault that Rook used his name.

And as for Rook, she'd meet him tomorrow, unfailingly.

She shut her eyes again, drifting into another sleep.

LEGACY COLLEGE*

As usual, Jeremy carried Rue's backpack as they stepped into the hallway together.

Rue behaves like a dumb junior while Rue took over the senior position despite the fact that she's younger.

"Walk faster!" She shouted at him, and he ran after her.

Her eyes brightened when she saw Roonie coming out of the locker room with the guys, all dressed in the hockey team uniform.

The hockey game starts today, and they're on their way to the field.

"Banks!" Rue ran after him.

Roonie gave her a "yes?" Look when she got to him, and she sucked on her bottom lip.

"I know you have a secret social media account, can you give me your handles? I promise to follow you, please" she begged.

"Step aside" Roonie said with utter disgust, and she gulped at the coldness before moving out of the way.

He left with his friends, and she bit her lip so hard that she drew blood.

"See? I told you" Jeremy joined her.

"You shut up!" She snarled.

"What were you doing with Banks?" Rook appeared like darkness.

"She's the one who talked to him" Jeremy quickly stepped aside.

"Oh please" Rue scowled and made to leave, but Rook pulled her back and slammed her harshly against the wall, hurting her elbows

"Ah, fûck! Chad!" She choked.

"So far you're in my club, you better follow the rules, no talking to Banks!" Rook seethed.

Jeremy smiled.
