XXXII: Suspicious
I step out of the office and feel a lump in my throat drop down to my stomach.
"You know what would be great right now," I mutter to myself, "some Lychee juice."
"Ya, what are you still doing here?" a voice spoke, causing me to jump up and squeal.
The guy knit his brows and gripped the straps of his bag. "Why are you so jumpy?" Dae-hyun asks, turning to the door behind me. "Are you going to rat me out to the dean?" he chuckles out a scoff, "aren't you a little too spineless for that?"
I turn to him and find myself fuming.
He is fully satisfied with my reaction.
"Are you doing anything today, Dahlberg?"
I roll my eyes, "as if that's any of your business." Upon saying this, I see Andy from down the hallway, and I remember instantly that he wanted to have a word with me. "Andy!" I call and wave at him, all before running towards him.
Or at least I tried running to him. Dae-hyun held me back.<

I woke up with an unsettling feeling in my chest. I barely couldn't sleep with what Andy told me yesterday."When they tell you it's nothing to worry about, come see me."When.When.Not if.He took back the word if from his sentence because he was sure. This must mean Andy has done this before, surely. He has tried to tell on the kings and yet they still did whatever they wanted."Lilac," my mother calls from across the table, "your food's getting cold."I snap out from my train of thought and look upon my family. My father's on his phone, my brother is devouring his food like a monster, my sister and my mother are having a conversation about unicorns, and my grandmother is looking at me with raised brows."Is there something bothering you, darling?" granny asks.I purse my lips, "Is our principal a good one?""Olivia?" my gra
The Three Kings Of Langley Academy XXXIV: Not Good
At this point, I had endured Dae-hyun bugging me in history class by kicking my chair ever so often.Javier hadn't been bothering me at all in any of our shared classes, which was good.Marcus wasn't in class again, and I began to feel concern, especially when I recalled his mom who was so sweet and kind to me. But then I remember his dad, and I get thrown off by the idea Marcus supposedly likes me.I shudder.I was currently in science class, sitting alone since again, my seatmate hadn't been going to school as of late. We had a bunch of activities handed to us today, and that's apart from all the previous ones we already had. I sigh, thinking of how much work it would be for him to catch up.Whatever, that wasn't my responsibility though.I don't care about Marcus.His mom is misguided, I...I growl and mess up my hair in frustration.I owe nothing to Marcus. It's still my decision if I want to hel
The Three Kings Of Langley Academy XXXV: Game Time
"Hey Roux," I said, as my brother and I walked to school. He hummed at that and turned to me, "I'm going to a football game today, remember?" "That's today?" I nodded. He knit his brows, "Didn't you tell methe moronsare on the football team?" My lack of a retort ticked him off. "You know you never told me what happened to you that one time." "It's fine Roux, I already told the principal about it. She said she'd get to the bottom of it." My brother narrowed his eyes, "Wait, is this why you asked if she was a good person? Do you think she won't do anything about it?" I turned to my brother and sighed, "I really don't know, Roux. Ireallydon't." He nods, "Well, if she doesn't, I'll become the principal of your school." I roll my eyes and chuckle, "Moron. You're under-qualified for that." "What? All grandma has to do is say the word." "Ew, and you want t
The Three Kings Of Langley Academy XXXVI: Get You Head In The Game
"Cece, is that Marcus?"Cece straightens up and frantically looks around the field. "Oh my gosh, you're right! What is he doing there?"Kai turns to us and asks about what we're talking about. We tell him and he frowns, "Is he that passionate about the sport so suddenly?""Honestly, these boys need to learn what it feels like to live without privilege." Cece notes.The game goes on well, much to my surprise. Not that I was hoping for our team to self-destruct or lose, but everyone on the field looked good and like they belonged there together. And that's saying a lot, considering the fact the kings are on that field.We cheered all our voices out that when half-time came, I felt my throat dry.It was also at this point, Tommy spotted me in the crowd. I waved at him with both of my arms, and so did Cece and Kai. I made a heart with my hands and pretended to throw it at him. Tommy laughed at this.Then all of a sudden, this player

Cece caught my hand, and turned to me, "Bebé,do you want to leave?" She screamed over the noise of the crowd, "he hasn't stopped looking at you since you noticed each other. I keep sending him death glares but he seems to only enjoy them."Ididwant to leave. Ireallydo want to leave. But it wouldn't be fair to Tommy, or Cece, or Kai."Listen, if you're worried about Tommy, I am pretty sure he'd want you to be comfortable, seeing he's so whipped for you." Cece added loudly, over the noise of the crowd, as if she heard my inner thought.I was about to agree, but then I remembered what Tommy told me about the game tonight.I felt my stomach swirl."He asked me out," I shouted at Cece, who then dropped her jaw."OH MY GOSH! What did you say?!""Well... the thing is, he only partially asked me out," I start and then explain the circumstance.Cece laughs
The Three Kings Of Langley Academy XXXVIII: Unexpected Meeting
I screw my eyes shut at the team captian roars in victory. We lost. Stellan and his team won.Kai rolls his eyes as Stellan goes rabid in the middle of the field, celebrating the victory on his own, "What a big headed moron."I scoff, "You have no idea."Cece pouts, "Let's go talk to Tommy."We head down to the players. Cece holds my hand along the way. I avoid looking out far in fear I may come face to face with Stellan. Kai noticed my jitters and asks about it. I reply simply that my ex was here.Kai knits his brows deeply when I point out it was the big headed moron. "You datedhim?" he question with a shudder."Don't remind me.""Lilac, Lilac," Cece suddenly calls, "I need to pee."Before I turn to her, I make eye contact with Tommy and see his grim expression."I think I should talk to Tommy though.""Hey," Cece scowls, "Are you sure? What if your ex bothers you?"
The Three Kings Of Langley Academy XXXIX: You Get What's Coming
I hiss and whip my head to the guy. His hair glistened against the light and his plump lips were curved in a smile. Stellan looked just as disgusting as I remember."I'm guessing your boyfriend is on the team or you wouldn't have cheered so hard."With a surge of adrenaline, I bit back, "Funny you've never heard of team spirit and naturally assume being supportive is inclined only to romantic relationships."Stellan threw his head back, "Wow. Look at you talking back. Without me you're so misguided and think that girls are supposed to be anything than a good girlfriend."I scoff at this. I was about to reply, but then he cut me off, "I'm glad we broke things off, honestly. No matter how good you are doesn't matter anymore because your father's a corrupted liar. Everything you are, from the blood in your veins and and the money in your pocket is dirty like him."At this point, Kai, who was in the middle of his conversation, looks over
The Three Kings Of Langley Academy XL: Thank You?
"Hey..." I say as I knock on my brother's door. Roux is busy on the phone, shuffling through papers. I knit my brows and wait to see if he'll notice me. When he does he waves me off and moves to close the door. I huff. Well so much for that. Now who am I going to ask about this? I go back to my room feeling slightly defeated. I frown as I think again about what happened yesterday. The kings stood up for me. All of them along with the twins and Kai. I huffed and jumped on my bed, belly down. I wiped my face and sighed. Boy was I glad today was a weekday. I barely got any sleep because of this heavy train of thoughts I had. I move to grab my phone propped on the bedside table and see a bunch of notifications on twitter and f******k. I turn off the wi-fi upon seeing they're mostly related to Stellan, my friends in New York were power-sharing the video Marcus posted. Who could I talk to about this big questio
