Chapter Five

"So, what are your rants for today?"

I stared at the beer I'm holding, not giving Dublin a look. Among the four of them, I can say he's the friendly type. He can easily interact with people around him and that's awesome. I can still remember the day when I joined their group and he's the first one who entertained me.

But if he's the friendly guy, France is his opposite. France isn't the smiley type, he's more like the serious and mysterious kind. He likes smoking cigarettes but he also has vape collection. He taught me some vape tricks, too. And what I love about him is his sense of humor and maturity. Perks of being an orphan. At his young age, he learned to be alone and do things just by himself.

While Baron and Rashid are kinda same but not exactly. They have similarities in attitude but their appearance and beliefs weren't clicked. Rashid is a fucked up man, he lost everything while fighting for his oh-so-called girl who just cheated on him. From then on, he started playing with girls and making them as his toys became his ultimate hobby. While Baron is a drunker guy, it is obvious in bucket of beers beside him everytime we'll meet and like Rashid, he has a lot of girls, too, he has dark past and all in all, he's a jerk. I guess there's no way he can survive without alcohol in his side. Lol. But I know better than that, we drink alcohol because we believe that it can ease the pain we keep on feeling and we hope that it is the way to escape from our problems.

The only similarity we have is the unfairness of the world for us. We are here not to live the life we have, we are here to change the life that keeps on fucking with us. We are destined not to just meet but to choose the form of rebellion this world provoked itself.

"There's this guy who threw words at me. He has this aura that I really hate. He acted like he's somewhat a king with full authority. It's like he can make anyone follow him just because he's the freaking SSG president!" I said and held the beer tightly.

There's no response I received so I annoyingly looked at the four and my face palmed after I realized they are not taking my rants seriously. Baron has this playful smirk on his lips behind the bottle of beer he's drinking while the other two has their own world. Wow, just nice.

Someone tapped my shoulder."I know what you need."

I turned to Dublin. I should remind myself they are all asshole and he's the only one whom I can talk to in times of this.

"What?" I asked him.

He smirked and handed me something."You need another shot," and when i saw what he's giving to me, I suddenly regretted the idea of praising him on my mind.

"Bacardi? What the hell?! Where did you get that hard liquor?" With wide eyed, I looked at him horribly.

Even the three, looked at us and wondered what's going on.

"Have you forgotten I'm the future CEO of one of the famous bar here?" He wiggled his brows at me.

Damn, right. I'm closed with the future CEO of Mckenland bar. How did I forget about it? They are not just an ordinary rebels like me, we're not actually lack of money and richness. It is freedom we are lack of.

I ended up rolling my eyes as I took the bacardi he offered. I opened it and gulped carelessly.

"You shouldn't be afraid of that guy you're talking about. The Vanez we know is a fierce, feisty and unwavering girl. Stay like that and don't let yourself burn down by anyone." I stopped from drinking and faced Dublin again, he gave me a thumbs up.

I unconsciously smiled and nodded.

When Rashid spoke.

"Damn you, fucker! I'm asking for a hard liquor but you said you can't steal one from your family's bar but here you are, easily gave Vanez a fucking Bacardi!" He punched Dublin's arms.

The latter just laughed and muttered a curse.

"You love her more than us, huh. We're hurt so bad." Baron joined their childish play.

Only me and France remained on our seat. I watched the three punched and cursed each other playfully. I shook my head and took a gulp. I heard France tsked.

"I wonder why I ended up being with these fuckers." He hissed.

I laughed a bit and somehow agreed with him. We are surrounded by fuckers, really.

I went back to home when midnight came. They are with me 'til I reached our grand gate. They even mocked me about the status of the family I'm living with. They helped me get to my room without the bodyguards noticing it. I shooed them right away when I got inside my room. I directly laid on the bed and let myself fell into a deep sleep.

The light of dawn seeped into my room. Another hellish day ahead for me. Like the usual, the moment I changed clothes and went downstairs, I didn't give them any glance and just focused on my foods alone. Dad keeps on asking me where did I go last night and it was annoying.

"I'm not asking your whereabouts so don't ask mine as well." That's my only answer and I wiped my lips with the tissues and stood up after I finished eating.

"Vanez," Dad called and massaged his nosebridge. I lazily looked back at him."I'll be very busy today. I want you to behave there and don't make the dean call me in the middle of my work." Is he warning me?

"We'll see, Dad." I smirked and totally left them.

I arranged my skirt and walked across the hallway of the school. But I'm not yet heading towards the first floor building when someone called me.

"You are Vanez, are you?" When I turned my back, I saw an unfamiliar sophomore in front of me.

"Yes, I am. Why?" I arched my brow at her.

She seemed not minding it."The dean is looking for you and she wants to talk to you in her office."

With that, I left with no option. I agreed to walk with her to the dean's office. This is just a normal case, I wonder who straw has the guts to report me to the dean.

"Good morning, Ms. Arnaez. Please take a seat." The lady in thick glasses welcomed me. She gestured me the chair on the left side.

But to my surprise, the meddle is here, Yukenzo slash president council. What the fuck is he doing here? Did he just report me to the dean? He's sitting properly and firmly like a lady. He lifted up his cold gaze at me. My blood boiled immediately. He just declared a war. And it'll go infinity.

"Mr. Cabrera reported the trouble you did yesterday at the cafeteria. Is that true, Ms. Arnaez, that it's not the first trouble you made? He said you also stamped a freshman? Why did you do it?" The dean adjusted her specs and looked at me strictly.

I remained emotionless as I answered,"Yes, dean. All he said were true. I really did those trouble in my first two days here in school. I just want to have fun and wanna challenge myself."

I heard her gasped. My eyes turned to Yukenzo. I gritted my teeth secretly when I realized he is emotionless as me. I really hate this guy, I swear I loathe him more.

"That's absurd, Ms. Arnaez!" The dean commented terribly. I just shurgged my shoulders."This is your first warning. If you cause another trouble inside this campus, I have no choice but to call your guardian blah blah blah." All she said is already familiar to me and as time flies, those words turned useless and powerless already.

I nod my head and stood up.

"Yes, dean." Whatever.

She looked at Yukenzo."Accompany her outside." She commanded him.

Ah, teacher's pet. He nodded obediently and stood up, too. I walked first and left the office. I heard the click of the doorknob as he got out the room, too. I stopped from my step and faced him. I didn't waste any seconds and I automatically grabbed the collar of his uniform. I'm irritated when he didn't even wince.

"Good job, president. How long will you stay being a meddlesome, huh? You think you know me? Are you thinking you can beat me? Think twice because I'm telling you, you'll never win!" I shouted straight to his damned face.

But I cannot believe he didn't even blink."There's no competition here so why would I aim for a victory that's only existing in the mind of a threatened person like you? Think twice too, because you're the only one who's being caged by hatred and competition you made. I'm just doing my responsibility as the SSG president of this school." He said with a calm voice.

My breathe became heavy. I stared at his eyes and I made sure he can see the wrath on it.

"I hate you. I hate you so much. I will hate you forever." I muttered.

I loosened my grip on the collar of his uniform. I turned my back at him and was about to walk out but he spoke up.

"I dislike you. I dislike you so much and I will dislike you forever."

I stiffened for a moment but I gained my composure right away. I took a deep breath before I continued my walk. I lost my interest to go to the classroom. I decided to just stay at the back of the restroom and took the vape France gave me last week. I think I need to relax my ass. That damned president just ruined my morning.
