View MoreDerek's point of view:I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Golden boy was asking me to be the school boss? My eyes widened as I gaped at him, trying to make sense of what he was saying. "You want me to be school boss? Wh-why?" I stuttered.Golden boy glanced down at his beer with a thin smile on his face. "To be honest with you, I've been asking myself that same question."I waited in silence as he continued, "You see, Derek, I wanna leave Griffin Elites and go chase my dreams.""What are your dreams?" I asked."Well, I dream to become a UFC champion one day. That's been my big dream since I was a kid. But my father had other ideas for my future," Golden boy answered."What future?" I asked, curious."He wants me to follow his footsteps and become a teacher. Griffin Elites was founded and built by him. He wants me to continue the family's business after he retires," he explained.I was silent at first, then asked, "He's against you following your dreams?""Very much so. Which is
Derek's point of view:I woke up the next day feeling uneasy. Ronnie refused to speak to me, completely ignoring my presence like she didn't even know me. I tried to get her attention, but she wouldn't even look my way. It was like I was invisible to her. Her silence was deafening, and it made me feel terrible.Due to the injuries I sustained during the fight, I couldn't go for lectures. I was stuck indoors, lying on my bed, trying to find a comfortable position. I couldn't concentrate on anything, and my mind kept drifting to the fight and Ronnie's silence.The constant fighting between Ronnie and me was starting to take its toll on me. One moment we were cool, and the next we were at each other's throats. I was tired of it all, and I wanted things to be back to how they used to be.My body was aching badly, and I was in a lot of pain. Those punches I took from Golden Boy were no joke, and they had done some serious damage to me. I could barely move without feeling a sharp pai
Derek's point of view:I got out of the shower and wrapped a white towel around my waist. My body ached and I felt my ribs cracking. It was as if I'd just gotten run through by a train. Fighting Golden boy wrecked me to pieces. I doubt I'd recover immediately. Just as I stepped out of the shower into the locker room, there was Ronnie, waiting for me with a first aid box. I stiffened when I saw her. What was she doing here? She was supposed to wait for me outside the locker room. But it was just Ronnie and I at school. Golden boy and his boys had left for home. After beating him, he stood up, shook my hand and gave me a smile. Without saying another word, he left me, taking his boys along with him. And that was it. The school was empty except for Ronnie and I. I decided to get a shower so I can have my wounds dressed. Never did I think Ronnie would take the initiative to have my wounds dressed for me. "Don't say anything," Ronnie said, "Just seat down and let me take care of
Ronnie's point of view:I woke up to the sound of my alarm blaring in my ear. It was morning, and I needed to get up. I dragged myself out of bed and walked to Derek's door. I knocked on it and said, "Derek, it's morning, get up."But there was no answer.I opened the door to find Derek's room empty. He must have gone to his lectures already. I was surprised since he rarely wakes up early."That bastard," I exclaimed. I knew exactly where he was headed. He was going to fight Golden boy. There was no mistake about that. I grabbed my coat and headed for the front door. But it wouldn't open.I struggled to get the door open, but it wouldn't budge. That's when I realized the door was locked from the outside.I rushed to find the spare key, but no matter how hard I searched for it, I couldn't find it. Derek had taken the spare key along with him.I cursed Derek as I paced in my room, wondering what to do next. I couldn't let him fight Golden boy at all.Then it hit me. Meg! I quickly
Derek's point of view:After Golden Boy left, I breathed a sigh of relief. But my relief was short-lived as Ronnie turned to look at me with a stern expression on her face. "You're not going anywhere, Derek. You're staying indoors," she said, her tone leaving no room for argument.I was speechless. I had never seen Ronnie act that way before. She was usually so calm and collected, but now she was clearly angry. This was the first time I had ever seen her lose it.Ronnie rushed up to me and gently guided me to the chair. Then she hurriedly grabbed the first aid box and started tending to my bruises. She was surprisingly gentle, given her rough exterior."Do you feel any pain? Do you think anything's broken?" Ronnie asked me as she tended to my injuries."I'm fine," I replied, grateful for her concern. "Just a few bruises."After treating my bruises, Ronnie started clearing the table. I didn't know what to say, so I just started assisting her. But she protested, saying that I should b
Derek's point of view:I stood in front of Golden Boy, glaring at him with all the intensity I could muster. He stood there with his arms wide open, smirking like he owned the place. I couldn't stand him. I didn't know what Ronnie saw in him."What's the matter, first year? Won't you gimmie a hug?" He taunted me, spreading his arms even wider.I pointed to the front door, "Pack your bunch of clowns and leave my house."Golden Boy rolled his eyes and responded, "I'm not leaving. I came to visit my girlfriend. She let me inside, didn't you, honey?"I looked at Ronnie and saw her shake her head sharply. "That's not true. He forced his way in," she said firmly.I sighed and turned back to Golden Boy. "Leave. We don't want trouble," I said, hoping he would just go away.But his smile only widened. "I love trouble. It's how I became boss of the school."I had heard about that title before. It was given to the strongest and most influential person in the school by the students themselves
Derek's point of view:As I checked out of the hotel with Ronnie, I could feel the tension between us. We both knew what happened last night between us made things awkward.However, we didn't make a fuss with the receptionist over the our ordeals with Golden boy, and we just left.As I stepped out of the hotel, I found my motorbike missing, but I knew who had it. Golden boy was the only one who would have taken it. It's my sure bet he's with it.I watched Ronnie walking away from me, and it felt like she was avoiding me. I couldn't blame her; things had gotten unnerving last night. I had stayed up all night waiting for her to leave the bathroom and come to bed. But to my surprise, she slept in the bathroom.At first, I had knocked on the bathroom door five consecutive times to make sure she was okay, but she told me she was fine, so I didn't drag it any further.As Ronnie walked away, clutching her bag, I knew I had taken things too far. I almost kissed her last night. I'm sure s
Ronnie's point of view:I was breathing heavily as I lay on top of Derek. Our bodies were intertwined, and our breaths were hard as we stared at each other. The silence in the room was deafening, and I could feel my heart beating so hard, I thought it might burst out of my chest. My mind was racing, and I couldn't think of anything to say. Outside the window, the rain had stopped, and the only sound was the faint ticking of the clock on the wall. It was just the two of us inside this quiet room, staring at each other. I could feel the tension between us, and I wanted to do something to break it.Suddenly, we heard a woman moaning from the other side of the room. My heart skipped a beat, and I stiffened as I listened to the sounds. Derek also froze, and we both looked at each other, unsure of what to do. We both knew what was going on, but we didn't want to acknowledge it. My mind was swirling with the sound of the woman from the next room. Her moans were deep and passionate
