Earth to Raine," Khalil said, startling her.
“Yeah?" she said, pushing her food around on her plate. Ever since she saw Asher at the beach she had been edgy and uncomfortable.
“You alright?" Jake asked as she nodded. She's been living ever since that day. She just goes home to pick up clothes and come back to hers. Not that Mila disliked the idea, but she was worried about her friend.
“What if he comes back?" she found herself asking.
"Then he's got all of us to deal with. We're much stronger now. We've got each other back now. He can't harm you, Raine." Willow squeezed her hand.
“Seriously Hayes?" he stood there smirking. He had dumped a cup of coffee all over Mila's shorts.
“The colour looks good on you though," he burst out into laughter.
"Low move man, low move," Khalil said to him
"What you gonna do about it gay boy? Huh?" he asked.
"Hayes Miller, my office now!" the principal bellowed, as he followed suit.
"Hey, are you okay? " Jake asked his boyfriend.
" I'm fine, babe." he squeezed his hand to assure him.
"Sure?" he asked again.
"100%, I just wanted to punch him. He was saved by principal James," he added.
" Jamie, why do you need me here? You got some h--
"Don't you end that Shut up and sit down," he ordered.
"You're failing your classes, Hayes, your coach came complaining about it. And you know what that means right?" Principal James asked.
"Enlighten me please." he mellowed.
" You need to get a tutor," he stated drawing his attention.
"Go on," he urged.
"It's between Mila Bennett and Kassandra Johansen." he gave options.
"I'd rather Kass, than Mila. Thank you." he finished, getting up.
"Okay," he said as he called for Kassandra through the speakers to his office. Within a couple of minutes, there was a knock on his door.
"Come in Kassy," Principle James said as a beautiful blonde entered the office. She was medium-sized and of average height. She had the deepest shade of hazel eyes, dimples and curves at the right places.
How come I've never seen her before? Hayes asked himself.
"What have I got today, Principal James?" she smiled at him.
"You've got a junior year student to tutor." Principal James said.
"Wait, what year is she in?"Hayes asked.
"Sophomore, any problem with that?" she sassed.
"Yes, I'm ahead of you, how can you tutor junior year courses?" he inquired.
"Well, if you must know. I learn ahead to help tutor other students and get paid. Mila actually tutors me as well. So I'm covered. You in or out?" she raised a brow.
"Do I---
"Are you in or out?" both Principal James and Kassy asked.
"Urgh, fine. I'm in. But I get to pick the days we meet." he added.
"Fine, here's my card. Call me when you decide." she handed it over and walked off.
"Fvk my life, arrrrrgh!" he exclaimed, walking out with an amused expression on Principal James' face.
"Guys, we're home, !" Willow shouted as they entered the house. They had a ton of assignments to do." Hi, babe." Neo pecked Willow on the cheek.
" Too much PDA, get a room," Mila said.
" Hey, sugar." Niel flirted with Raine.
" Lame name Niel, sugar? really? It's so lame." she teased.
"Maybe, you're just being too jealous that you ain't got no man in your life, you one to call you pet names. Stop being a hater." he put.
"Seriously Niel?" Raine added unamused. She and Willow followed after Mila as she walked off hurt to her room. She locked the door behind her, shutting her friends out.
"Mila, please open the door please." Raine pounded.
" Do you like him?" she asked her friend.
"Of course, he's a nice guy but can be a jerk sometimes, just like a few minutes back, just open the door, please," she begged.
"That he is, I'm happy you like him. But I'm not opening the d---
" Too late." Willow unlocked
"Remind me as to why I gave you my spare keys," Mila stated.
"Because you luh me." Willow jumped on her bed.
" Ouch, Willow gets your fat ass off my bed," she told her.
" Nope, can't do." she stuck her tongue out at her.
" Crushing hit a wall, right now I need a miracle." Raine started singing along to the Chainsmokers "Don't let me down" ft Daya. Willow and Mila joined in with her.

" Hey, don't we have homework to do?" Willow asked after a while.
"Yeah we do, but I'm starving. Anyone want food?" Mila asked.
" We do," Raine answered.
" Come on, let's head to the kitchen," she said.
" I got a big fat ass, come on!" she sang to the viral TikTok song as her friends danced behind her, shaking their asses and heading out.
“ Thanks for lunch, Naya,” Raine added.
“ My pleasure.”
Niel and Neo had left for school a week ago and Willow and Raine were a little grumpy. Willow had missed her boyfriend, Raine had missed Niel. Those two had a strong connection going on but hadn't worked on it, knowing very well they liked each other. Niel and Neo we're of the same height, 6'8. Olive skinned, handsome but had different eye colours. Neo had dark brown eyes while Niel had deep grey eyes. Niel was a little heavier than his twin and had dimples. Neo had pink cute lips rather than dimples.The tension between those two was so thick it could be sawed into half. Mila, Aaliyah, Vanilla and Kiera had planned a little surprise for those two to make them feel better.With the help of Aaliyah and her friends, they were able to clear out her lair and turn it into a home cinema. They had selected a couple of movies such as; To all the boys I've loved; Always and Forever, The prom, Raja and the lost dragon, and the wish dragon, and Luna.Naya helped prepare snacks for the movie nigh
" Kassy, just in time f---, what the hell is he doing here?" Mila fumed. "You think I like being here huh?" Hayes asked matching her tonation. "Sorry I didn't inform you, Mila, he's my student...lemme just say I tutor him and I thought it wise for him to be here for our session today so I don't have to teach him after this one," Kassy explained. "I am agreeing on this just for you Kassy, just for you. Come on, in" she ushered them into the study room. There were snacks and bottles of water on the table as they entered. "Please help yourself to anything, I'd be back in a jiffy." she bolted up the stairs to her room and the group texted her friends. Mila: Hayes Miller is at my house!
"Could you guys stop acting as if you care? What's the matter, why did you video call us all?" Mila cut to the chase. " Honey, that's no way to talk to your mom," Naya added. " That's fine, Naya." her dad said as she rolled her eyes at them. " Mom, dad cut to the chase, I've got class in a bit," Neo added. "Fine, we've got a new addition to the family... and she would be staying with Naya and Mila." their mom told. "You had another kid and you didn't bother telling us?" Both Neil and Mila said. " How old is she?" Naya sighed. " 3 years old." Mr Bennett rubbed his head. " So, you're
Who's at the door this early?" Mila rubbed her eyes and unlocked her bedroom door as she headed downstairs to check who was at the door that early. "I'm coming, jeez. Calm your ti--- "Raine?" she wondered what she was doing at her house early on a Saturday morning. She noticed bruises on her body and her arm held up in a cast. " Who did this to you?" Mila asked letting her friend in. " My mom and dad." she croaked. " What? Why?" she tried not to wake Naya and Tara up as they climbed up to her room. " Because they enjoy doing it. They just like to abuse me just for the fun of it," she told her friend. " You don't believe me right
"Who's Mila walking with?" Jake asked his boyfriend seated at their regular table. " Babe, let's wait until they get here," he answered, not looking up from his phone. " How come you're more interesting and less annoying than that jerk of your brother? No offence though?" she couldn't help but ask. She met him stranded in the hallway while rushing to class. Apparently, he was a new student on transfer from another school and the brother to her arch-nemesis, Hayes. At first, she was reluctant to help him when he mentioned his name, but on second thought, she decided to. She went with him to the administration for his schedule. It turned out that he had the same schedule as hers so she walked to class with him talking abou
Mila and Rémy's friendship had grown over the weeks. He sat with her and her friends every day during lunch. Though his brother wasn't thrilled with his actions, he could care less. And besides, when did Hayes start caring for anyone other than himself. Mila and her friends had been to some of Rémy's races though it was illegal but they enjoyed it. Jake and Khalil were fans of car races and were beyond thrilled each time they went to the tracks to watch him. “ Umm, the seat's taken,” Mila said to Hayes not looking up from her phone. “ I don't see anyone here, Bennett,” he smirked. “ He's right in front of you Hayes,” he looked up to see his brother smirking.
Mila, Willow, Raine, Jake, and Khalil were watching the race from the sidelines. They were there to support Rémy as he competed against his toughest opponent. When he was racing, he was a different person than the friendly Rémy they all knew, colder and perhaps a touch more vicious. Nonetheless, they were all aware of his altered demeanour. "He's in a comfortable lead right now," Jake jolted Mila out of her self-induced stupor, bringing her focus to the race. Rémy's car was a silver 2021 Chevrolet Corvette, whereas opponents was a blue 2021 Porsche Boxster. During Rémy's final sprint, the crowd erupted in cheers. It wasn't long before Terry's opponent caught up to him as he crossed the finish line with his trademark sneer. Upon seeing his fans approaching to greet him, he exited his vehicle to meet them.
“Excuse me?!” She yanked his arm away from her shoulder. “Shit!” he yelled as she moved to stand in front of him, arms folded. “When did you become my boyfriend?” She raised her brow, ignoring his stares. “Bennett, I was just trying to be nice, and you almost broke my arm?” He became enraged. “No one asked you to,” she said as she walked away with her friends. “Are you sure he's not crushing on you?” Jake inquired after some time had passed. They all turned to face Mila, waiting for her response. “He's incapable of crushing on anyone; he's just a certified fuckboy, a douche bag, and incapable of loving someone, let alone having a girlfriend.” She screamed loud enough for him
