Alexa looked outside her window, her brow furrowed as she saw a car stopped in front of their gate. "Someone is here, Leo."Leo looked at her and got up toward the window. He tried wrapping his hands around her, but she wiggled herself away and walked toward the door. "We should go check who that is."Leo sighed feeling frustrated at Alexa. He was beginning to wonder what he'll do to appease her.Alexa left the room and Leo followed. They both walked down the stairs and as she was about to walk out of the door... "Leave it be, Alexa. I'll handle it."Alexa looked at him and sighed, then she looked toward the movie room, or as her kids like to call it, their game room. The door was ajar, so she decided to go meet them.Leo watched her go, he shook his head and proceeded out the door, and toward the gate. He opened it as the visitor was about to knock."Hi."Leo looked at her in confusion. She was oddly familiar. "Do I know you?""If I'm that lucky to be remembered, we've taken glances

[Three weeks and four days later. (22nd. June. Wednesday.)]"Alan has officially left the school. How are you doing?"Joseph lowered his head. "A bit guilty. If I had reported, I would have saved them earlier on."The principal sighed. "You don't have to blame yourself. Does your dad know everything that's happening?"Joseph nodded. "Yeah. He's just too busy to concern himself. He knows I'm safe.""And you are? I just don't want you to get affected by it. Make new friends, okay?"Joseph nodded. "Yes, ma'am.""Do the Hodges still bother you?"Joseph shook his head. "In a while, they haven't. I guess they're waiting for things to die down first. I'm really scared of them, ma'am."The principal sighed. "If any complaints about them come to my table again, I'll make sure I do something about it.""What about their father? He defends them. He doesn't even know his kids are bullies""Well, next time, when they bother you, be smart about it. There needs to be evidence to prove those kids are

"Hey, Rob." Joseph went to sit beside him feeling kinda nervous."Joe. What is it?"Joseph shrugged. "Just wondering if you guys need one more friend."Rob looked at his other friends and back at him. "Why?"Joseph shook his head. "Nothing. Somehow I just feel making friends with you guys is perfect. I think I want to stand up against Damien Hodge and even his siblings.""Damien?" Mike asked.Joseph nodded. "Yeah. As you guys know you're not the only one who has ended up in his angry fist. It's so unfair how he gets to throw his fist in anger and without thoughts, don't you think?"Jake shook his head. "I don't think I'm okay with it. What can we do about it? It's only when we cross their paths that it happens. If we don't, nothing happens."Rob nodded. "Jake is right.""But you guys don't like him, do you?""Indeed we don't, but we can't do anything about it," Mike told him."Why're your eyes on him?" Kara asked Damon.Damon looked around her and shook his head. "Nothing. Just wonder

(25th. June. Saturday.)"Don't bother yourself too much in it, honey."He looked at his wife and shook his head. "I don't trust him, Mia. He was a friend of me and Renard, and right from time, he has always been wild, a bully. I don't like him being around.""Renard doesn't seem to think the same way, Eric. They're really close."Eric nodded. "Yeah they are, and that's why I can't stop Renard from getting involved with Harrison. It's his life.""Just hope he's careful. Harrison seems to be bad news."Eric nodded again. "Indeed."Then he looked and saw his daughter. "Hey, how long have you been there?"A clash and impact on the ground made Alexa open her eyes and woke up. She narrowed her sleepy eyes on her son picking up what he fell. "Damien?"Damien looked at his mom with widened eyes. "Oh. Sorry, mom. Daddy sent me to get something." He said arranging things back.Alexa sighed and sat up. "What thing?""Nothing to bother about, mom." He said, then he climbed on the bed toward her a

Leo and his kids got home, and they immediately ran to their mom who strode down the stairs upon hearing the car arrive.She smiled as they hug her. "Hey..." She said, trying her best to be in a good mood. Truth be told, the morning drama took a toll on her. It felt like it's been a long while since Leo angrily yelled at her."You guys should go freshen up this instant," Leo told the kids, wanting to have a moment with his wife.The kids nodded and ran up the stairs toward their rooms.Leo walked closer, dropping his suitcase on a table before walking past it and halting in front of Alexa.At that moment, she felt like there was tension brewing in the air. Leo's face was blank and unreadable, so she couldn't decipher what his words could be to her."So,..." He let out a throaty chuckle that didn't change his blank expression. "I saw your gift."At that moment, thoughts began bombarding her head. She wasn't sure what to think. Did he like it? Did it spice his anger more? She wasn't sur
