After classes, the three kings headed to football practice.Dae-Hyun, who was the star striker and co-captain of the team, had an advantage over Javier and Marcus, he could brutalize them in training and they wouldn't be able to do a single thing about it.As of moment, the new recruits as well as the original team members were non-verbally having a competition of who had the better body, the three kings were definitely in the running."Hey, Tommy," Marcus called as the captain of the football team minded his own business and tied his shoes on. "I heard Lilac's going to our match."Tommy didn't reply and pulled his socks up, once he was satisfied, he gave him a look and turned away without a word.Javier snickered at his reaction while Dae-Hyun raised a brow."Can you believe that loser?" Marcus chuckled."That loser's the captain of the team. If I were you, I wouldn't push it while you're on the field." Mishka mumbled as he fixed the

I made my way downstairs; it was 6am probably and I needed a glass of water. I waqs almost by the kitchen, but I froze in my spot after hearing the voices scream from the kitchen."What do mean you're on it?" my mother spoke, exasperated. "You've been telling me the same bullshit for months now!"There was a crashing sound that made me wake fully when I heard it. It sounded like a pot."I am working on it as hard as I can, woman! It's easier said than done!"I heard my mother huff, jaggedly, "It better get easier, or else, I fucking swear Alexander.""You fucking swear what, Bethany?! YOU'LL LEAVE ME?! GO AHEAD I'M SO TIRED OF HEARING YOU SPIT OUT SHIT WHEN I'M ALREADY FUCKING WALKING ON A KNIFE!" I shuddered at their voices that continued to blare on and felt tears start to well in my eyes.My dad kept barking on up until there was a lou

Dae-Hyun forcefully dragged me by my wrist and lead me off to the lockers. Once we got in front of mine, I wrangled out of his grip with a wince, "You do know you could just ask me to go somewhere, right?" He looked at me expressionless, "And would you have followed?" I scoffed, "Well, now you'll never know, will you?"   For a moment, we looked at each other until he got impatient and motioned to my locker, "Open it." I pulled my head back, "And why do you want me to do that?" He turned away from me and muttered something under his breath, "Ya, don't you usually do this thing anyway? I'd like for this to get over with, okay?" I scoffed yet again, "Why do you want me to do that?!" Dae-Hyun glared with a clenched jaw as he walked forward, "Because I want you to." I huffed and crossed my arms, unable to stare him down out of the sheer idiocy he

I walked into my first class, slumping down next to Kai who knit his brows at the sight of me."You a'right?"I huffed and gave him a look, "Do I look alright?"Kai made an uncomfortable face, "Is it... y'know... ... or the kings again?"I harshly bite my lower lip and blink rapidly. I scoff, "Clearly there's nothing else ill in my life, right? The world's sun is them."Kai knits his brows, taken aback. He offers a look and places a careful hand on my shoulder, "Hey... what's going on? Did they do something to you?"They're messing with my head. They're messing with my family. They're messing with my life.My silence makes Kai ever more warry. He pulls his hand back but leans in, softly asking, "do you want to talk about it?""Not really." I retort, focusing on  Ms. Bedivere who was explaining something which just sounded like noises to me at this point.I offer Kai a look, but regret it, when I s

After a really long day of genuine physical and mental torture, I looked forward to going home so badly. I had Kai drive me graciously. Though the wonder twins insisted on driving me, as they were the ones that picked me up in the first place, I refused them.When I got home, I knew it would be quiet. My older brother had work and so did my parents. Grandmother told me she and my younger sister would go out shopping, so I was pretty much safe.I removed Kai's extra helmet and thanked him."Call me if anything ever comes up, okay?" he says after taking the helmet from me, placing it in the back compartment, and vrooming away. I sniffled and wiped my nose, heading inside.I squeal at the sudden shout of my name."LILAC LOURDES DAHLBERG!"I turn to whomever spoke and easily found Roux. He was in the same clothing he woke up in, an indication he did not even leave the house, meaning he lied about going to work
