I am scared and agitated. I took my hands away from the table and clasped them together on my laps. If I could command the earth to parted I would have done it. This man is giving me the hardest time with just his presence.
He is a few steps away from me, I know because I could see his ever expensive sneakers. My eyes pinned on the marble floor and nowhere else. His cologne different from Theo is now swirling around the cafeteria. Everywhere so silent and tensed.Slowly I heard his hands coming towards me. I do not know it's purpose and I do not wish to know. My heart thudding crazily against my chest. I feel like dying, praying for someone to rescue me and my savior arrived just in time." Don't you dare " I Heard the familiar voice of Theo and at once I look up to see him gripping JL's wrist, stopping the prince of FFC from touching me at all. Relief like never before washes over me when I saw Theo. I immediately get on my feet and goes behind him.JL watched me with his perfect hazel eyes. I do not know what that gaze says because it held no expression but I could feel the enmity from Theo and him bouncing back and forth.Theo shove back JL's wrist away harshly then glare at him coldly. Both the two gorgeous man glaring at each other disdainfully. By their look I could see they both seem to have an unsolved grudges In the past.Theo turns to me and smile gently to my face just like always." Are you alright? Are you hurt ? "Words clogged at my throat at his immersed care. I slowly shook my head in the negative and he sigh. I was wondering why he had come back when I saw him goes to the table and picked up the book he had forgotten. " Come on, let's go "He pulled me out and I followed him. Everyone's eyes on me and all. I could see JL staring at me until I disappear from his sight. He surely must still loathe me for leaving him years ago.Theo pulled me out of the cafeteria and stop abruptly before an old car which seem to be waiting for him. I turn slightly to him and he tried to smile but failed. His face won't agree to that expression so he decided to be truthful. He dropped my wrist and folded his hands unto his chest." What is JL doing with you? "" I don't know. I.. don't know why he comes up to me " I frown slightly as I guess maybe it's because he learnt I am his step sister. I look up at Theo. " I think he learnt I am his..."" You should stay away from him. He is a bad guy " Theo interrupted with a frown. " You shouldn't go with a guy like that and..."" Excuse me Theo , I think you misunderstood. I wasn't with JL. He only walks into the cafeteria and come up to me "" There must be a reason for that "I spread my arms dejectedly as I let out a sigh of frustration. I am having a hard time in explaining to Theo what is going on. He wasn't even listening.He saw how miserable I am so he brushes his hair with his fingers before pulling me into his arms for a hug. His chest so solid and his embrace so warm and friendly.I couldn't help but be taken by surprise at how perfect we both are in each others arms. I fitted in perfectly as though I am made solely for him. I am lost in him, entirely but Theo pulled back slowly and smile gently at my face." I need to go home for some hours. I will call you when I'm back, okay? "" Okay Theo. Be careful on your way " I whispers softly and he nodded. He extended his hand to my wrist and pull me with it, encouraging me to walk with him.Theo lead me to the student resident hall and left me standing before the great building." I should go now " He said. " Take care of yourself till then "He turn and walks towards the old car that has followed us. I watched as Theo lowered himself in this old car and drove away from my sight. Judging by how inexpensive he has dressed, unlike JL. Despite that I have come to like Theo so much. He is the perfect friend I have always yearn for.After seeing the massive gate of FFC opens for Theo's car to go out, I turn around and walk into the student hall. Luckily no one is in sight now. The student seem to have been gone out.I headed to room 107 this time and decided to know. I received no answer at first but then I overheard keache's voice." Come in "I pushed open the door and walks in but this time I saw a blond almost getting dressed. I turn slightly to Keach who stood before the mirror which is at a corner. She is brushing her hair.I know perfectly well this wasn't the lady I caught her with earlier. Keach had brought in another lover after that one left? Oh great!" Oh Keach. This is your new roommate? " The blonde asked but didn't wait for Keach to reply before she comes up to me and smile. " I'm nectar, keache's girlfriend "I couldn't speak for sometime because I pitied the lady who seem so nice. She isn't too beautiful but she has this smile that light up the whole room in a good way." I'm dahlia. Nice to meet you nectar "" Same here. I hope you love it in FFC. Stay away from the Kourtney girls to be safe and obviously never goes to JL if you want to stay long in the school " Nectar advised before chuckling lightly. She turns to Keach and goes to her. She slowly wrapped his hands around keache's waist before placing a kiss at the nape of my roommate but Keach didn't react to this.She only continues brushing her hair. I realized something isn't too right between the two. I decided to stay out of it. I put down my bag and books them walk Into the bathroom where I took a long shower. I walks out to the room later on , clad in the towel I Gab found in the bathroom which has DL initial.Nectar has left but keach is still in the room. She is sitting behind the desk with laptop before her. She turns slightly when she heard my movement." I'm sorry Dahlia for bringing in ladies. I promise to do better next time "I stop abruptly in mid air. I have never expected her to apologized. It isn't worth it. I lowered my head, allowing my long dark hair to fall forward. I turn to my roommate with a smile on my face." You don't need to apologize. I understand "I look away from her and ruminated in my dresser for a while before settling on a simple gown. I walks to the refrigerator where I pulled out a drink and finally goes to sit on my bed with a sigh." Today has been a long day " I mutters under my breathe. " I can't even imagine going out anymore "Keach who was listening to my words turn around. His eyebrows lifted up in question." I thought you still got to go for sport "" It's not compulsory to go for sport, right? "A low laugh escaped keache's throat and she sigh." FFC is vastly different dahlia. You will have to be enrolled in any sport of your choice so when the competition arises with some other colleges, you or anyone that's the best would represent us "" Why aren't you going for sport if truly it's compulsory every day ? " I asked her and she shrugged." I have some project to do as you can see but I will be there tomorrow to face the wrath from my coach and be trained for another extra hours "" Oh " I mutters weakly. I would hate to be disturbed for another hour. I get up from the bed and pulled out my schedule which Mrs coopers has presented to me last night. I am looking for the sport she had assign me to but the space was blank. " Hmm? I am not assigned into any club "" You will choose for yourself dahlia " Keach corrected with a small smile playing on her face. " I go for tennis since I couldn't do any other sports "" Have you ever lead the school to competition? " I asked curiously and she shook her head." Nope but the prince of FFC has lead us to many victories. There is no one compare to him when it comes to..."The words of Keach was interrupted by a firm knock on our door. I turn slightly to stare at Keach as though to ask her who is knocking." You are expecting someone? Because I am not " she said and I shook my head in the negative. Theo who is only my friend is out and he doesn't even know my room. Keach stood up from where she sat and goes to the door and ease it opens. " Huh? " She said to the guest only her could see. After some seconds she opens the door wider and the lady comes in.I was already sipping my drink but choked on it when my eyes saw Corrine coming in. I swallow hard as I stare at her. What is she doing in here?To answer my question Corrine slowly fell on my feet, tears trailing down her eyes in no time. Keach was whiten with shock. She looks at me but I turn my head away to sealed away the truth." You are involved with Kourtney and JL already? " She asked and I turn to her. " Dahlia these people are dangerous. Why would you ever get mixed up in their feud ? "" I am not involved with anyone " I defended." Then why is Corrine here for the first time? "" We should asked her " I replied before turning to the lady before me. Corrine lifted up her head and sniffed. I pulled her up from the floor and make her sit beside me on the bed. I failed to know why anyone will be able to do nothing when being bullied." What's going on? Is everything okay? " I asked even though I know nothing is okay. If everything is fine Corrine won't be here shedding tears of agony. To my question Corrine brought out her cellphone and extended it to me.I received the mobile carefully then stare at the screen which shows a video which has been paused. I lowered my eyelids for sometime, telling myself to be calm.With my finger slightly shivering, I played this video and the content is so Unsaints to watch. The video clip shows Corrine getting dressed up. Her whole body was filmed throughly without missing any part.This makes me shuddered and I look up at the beautiful lady who looks not too different than I am. Her hair long just like mine, her body a little slimmer than mine." JL promised to post this video in the school group tonight. I..I do not know what to do anymore. I am left in ruins and I won't survive if the video got out. I only tried to.. to .." tears do not allow Corrine to finish her words.I heave an heavy sigh as my skin got covers up in goosebumps. JL is someone else. The jasper I know in the past would never pry on a lady's privacy and threaten her this way.My gaze got to Keach who only look away with a sad expression. There is nothing no one could do. I can see it already. No one will dare go against the prince of FFC but I can and I will. After all I am the Princess. The princess of FFC." Do you think it's the best idea? " I heard Keach asked behind me. " Taking him unaware could means many things " " I have to know Keach before I could make another movement. Theo's faithfulness will determine my next action " Keach and I walks out of our room and goes out into the night. So my roommate and I had concluded to pay Theo an august visit. My plan is to catch him red-handed in the act of cheating me. This would be a relief to me actually and an excuse to be out of the ill bond. The cold night wind blow out aggressively and I breathe out shakily. " I think we should be expecting rain tonight dahlia " " Whatever. We should focus on our mission to TDR " After walking for some minutes we Arrived before Theo's resident. I turn to see keach staying back. " What's up? The plan is we will in go together " " One has to stay and keep watch. Give me a yell if things go ugly " I had to scoff but then headed in. If I caught Theo with the professor then I will act mad and da
Theo stop his car before a large restaurant and help me alight. When I look up I saw the initial tag name that makes me smile. The building belongs to none other than his father. Elegantly I walk forward and Theo stayed by my side with his hand at the small of my back. The staffs all bow in respect before the heir of all Ductal's wealth and I felt hairs on my pores standing at it's end. In no time they dashes towards their post and act professional. It's great to school in a college that host the wealthies. Here I am, a poor lady of the past beside one of the richest heir in the City. " Please this way " A fine man in suit says. He ushered us to a gorgeous corner where he smiles softly at Theo and me. " I will call unto the waitress to take your order sir " The man left and I watched till he disappear from sight. I might be wrong but I think I caught him shivering and sweating. Wealth! It could do and undo in just a jiffy without any stress. " That's the manager here. Don't min
I slowly walk into the room where JL is. He had retired to his room after what had happened minutes ago. I almost feel his agony and hatred. His father had pushed him too far and he never shows sympathy. When I step into the room I saw JL dressing up for another training. I almost cried for him. He hasn't been resting or sleeping well. Slowly I walk to him and hug him from behind. " I'm sorry JL. I'm sorry I couldn't be of help " I mutter and to my awe JL walk ahead, breaking off the physical contact.He marched forward to get his duffel bag then turn to me. His eyes were guarded and distant. " I am off to training. Can you drive? " He asked me and I dropped my jaw for some seconds before gulping down. " Yeah " " Well, let's go then. You can drop me off at the training section while you drive yourself to the resident hall " I didn't move an inch and I got my reasons. Why the hell would JL keeps me at arm's length? His eyes are extremely distant. Probably because of Dad? I wa
" Come here princess " My step dad says as we left the large hall. After making everything official, Dad had pull me out and headed towards the luxurious car that was parked. I have thought he only wants me to escort him to his car but when we get there, he opened the car door for me to enter. " Uh... Dad I thought you are going alone " " No. Your mother wishes to see you and I would love to introduce JL to her today as well " I turn to see JL actually coming along too but he was Busy with some school authorities. " Good morning Mr Dylan " I whispers softly as I entered the car and sat down at the backseat. He was at the driver's seat, waiting for everyone to settled In. " Hi princess " He replied with a smile as he glanced at me briefly through the visor. He is such a beautiful man. I returned the smile before staring out. There I saw dad leaning over the car. He hasn't enter. His utmost attention was on his only son. I saw a smile curling up at the corner of his lips proudly
The hall is a very large one. The types that I have only seen in TV. That day I know there is more to FFC than I have thought. There at the top, before everyone is Mrs coopers with the microphone. A bright smile on her face as she addressed every seated students. I turn to see JL and Theo seated across each other at the podium. They are not staring at each other but before then was two books.Keach stirred me gently to take my seat at the middle and I lowered myself on the space. My eyes never left JL's face. How he dressed up expensively and how his hair was curled up now. On his wrist is the popular wristwatch of the wealthies brand. $50,000,000 or more would the watch possibly cost. I look away from him finally and turn to Theo. He is different on the stage. Different from minutes ago when he has given me the necklace that has his initial tag name. It's around my neck now. I wore it. I have to obey Theo somehow. I know the relationship between JL and I won't work out. I was s
" Is this how you tried to play petty so you could discourage me from toping JL? " That was Theo's next question that stole away my breath. " Dahlia is this how you tell lies just... " " I am telling you the truth Theo! " I yelled out crazily. He just said something about me playing petty for JL's sake. No! " Why should I tell lies about someone being my father? Mr Lawn of Lawn Tower is set to marry mother. He enrolled me into this college. Provided everything that I needed. He is a good man and as for JL, I would never play petty concerning his win or loss. He is a fighter. He is determined to take the throne away from you Theo. If I were you I won't be too relaxed. Once jasper Lawn is set to do something, nothing else would keep him away. Now if you will excuse me. I should go back to my room before my boyfriend whom I have sacrifice so much tears for to start calling me a liar " I stood up at once , goes to the room and put on my clothes, leaving the nightdress on the bed. I grab
