Kiari

I heard her knocking on my door but I'm still sleepy so I don't mind her. She opened the door and start waking me up she's the most annoying person I've known. She kept shaking me and smacked me see? isn't she the sweetest?

I continued pretending asleep and she opened the window curtains, I grabbed the pillow beside me and instantly covered my face.

She ran outside without closing my door, she must be so excited.

I get up and close the curtains, and walked through the bathroom. I hurriedly took a bath and wore my clothes. I with a Vneck shirt and covered with my black leather jacket.

I got down and eat breakfast. She wakes me up because she doesn't want to get late, But looked she hasn't eaten breakfast yet. I heard footsteps getting down and I saw her, She's so lovely. But my outside appearance didn't show it, perhaps I looked at her blankly.

________________________________________________

When we got to school he stopped and roamed around her sight. Figuratively, there's a star surrounding her faces making her blush in excitement.

She start sauntered inside the school and I followed her, but my phone rang so I stopped. I need to take the call before pressing the answer button I glance at the screen to see that I.D caller but it's unknown. I answer the call and,

"How are you Kiari?" I heard his snickering on the other line, I cringed. I turned off the phone, I don't have time for Cris drama.

I stride inside the school and looked for Selina. I saw her in the hallway and someone wrapped him around her. I message my jaw and furrowed my brows, biting my lower lip.

" Aren't you a gorgeous flower?" Andy asked her.

"Aren't you a fucker?!" I asked him and they both turned around shocked to see me. Andy removed and I grabbed Selina to the office.

"What was that?!" She asked in a trance.

"Stay away from him," I said and dragged her onto the office. The principal saw us and immediately address us.

"Good Morning." Selina greeted her and brightly smiled. I mildly smirked. Selina turned around and smacked me mentioned me to greet the school principal. I darkly smirked and rolled my eyes, she pinched me covertly giving me a burning gazed.

"Morning," I said looking at me literally jaw dropped. I rolled my eyes and stared at her blankly. I looked at Selina and she rolled her eyes at me.

"So you are Ms. Alvarez?" The principal asked and in a split of seconds, she nodded. " Do you have your enrollment copy?" The principal asked and Looked at me and looked back to the principal shaking her head.

"Why?" The principal asked her furrowed eyebrows.

"I enrolled her here online," I said and she looked at me ghastly.

"Oh! okay, Ms. Alvarez just a minute." She stood up and get something and hand it to Selina.

"That's your schedule, Enjoy your stay. Sorry, but I have to go. Your room number is written on your schedule" The principal said. And stormed out the office.

Selina stood up looking at me, smiling brightly flexing her illegal gorgeousness. I smirked and rolled my eyes.

"Yes! Thank you Kiari!" She exclaimed and I didn't mind her.

I keep my eye in front emotionless,  the mere fact that Selina was now studying the closer she was in danger especially she's Andy's target. What if I'd just covered her face? I need to search this on the internet on how to make her ugly.

Her gorgeousness will put me in prison.

"Oh, are these the locker area?! Cool. Oh! I like that painting on the right side look at that! it's beautifully detailed" She was pointing on the painting hanging on the school corridor while shaking my arms in her excitement. I rolled my eyes.

"Hey, where's your locker?!" She asked looking at me. I stared her blankly and point my hand into my locker. She sprinted and stopped in front of my locker.

"Open it!" She demanded. I furrowed my eyebrows at her and opened my locker.

"Oh, woah I don't know you're a drama king. Writing a letter for whom?!" She asked as she picked the letter from my locker.

I gathered this letter and throw it on the alley. And shut my locker.

And continued walking.

Selina was there, surprised at what I've done. And then she follows me leisurely.

We entered the room and all eyes landed on her. Selina scanned the room for a vacant seat. I grabbed her hands and take her, to her seat next to mine. They keep glancing at her. I smirked and throw them a deadly glare and they looked away. By judging the silence around, I know they are all scared.

Selina poked my shoulder

"Hey, I'm sorry." She said and I looked blankly.

"for?" I asked cold and I keep scrolling on my phone.

"You're not mad?" She asked stunned and big eyes. I shook my head and a smile slowly formed on her lips.

I continue my business on my phone.

Baron calling...

I walked outside before picking up the call. Selina followed me her gaze but I don't mind. She stays inside scribble my books at my table.

"Yes?" I asked blankly.

("We just received a mail from Cris." He replied deeply dark, I could hear his rigid breath. I know it is something important. I ended the call and get inside, I saw Selina chattering to Tiffany.

I walked toward her and poked her shoulder, She looked at me and raised her brows.

I walked outside and she followed.

"I have to go now, wait for here don't leave until I get you," I said darkly serious. And she gave me a commotiom.

"Where are you going?" She asked worriedly. I stared at her emotionless.

"Company," I answered differently. She nodded.

"Drive safely, okay?" I nodded and I signaled her to get inside and she slowly walked inside. I looked at her from behind and she faced me again and she waves goodbye.

I nodded and walked out of the school. I saw Andy and smirked at him, looking at him with a warning.

Before getting in the car.

Selina

Kiari left and now I'm alone.

Good thing Tiffany noticed my existence and now she started talking to me. She keeps bluffing about her golden spoon life and all I do was smiled at her.

"Hmm wait! Do you know Kiari Zyne?!" She asked me with furrowed eyebrows.

I nodded and she gasped.

" Are you his sister?" She asked cuffufled.

"No," I said shaking my head.

"So you are with him?" She asked raising her left eyebrows. " Good thing you're still alive." She added and mu urge to know why she said that lingered.

" Why do you said that?" I asked furrowed. Looking into her eyes maybe I could get some hint there.

"Well he's cool, handsome, And

exceptionally intelligent, Awsome! but he's scary, He always looked om us with burning gazed and He is known as a bad boy here in school."She said cockily giggled.

"Really? well, he's not that bad." I said what I've noticed to Kiari.

She shook her head and smirked then rolled her eyes!

Bipolar confirmed!

"Yeah! he's not that bad because he's beyond a bad boy! he's a badass bastard specifically he's a scoundrel!" She said mad and she tapped her desks louder and all the students looking on us.

I looked down I feel shy. "Hey, easy. Why are you saying that?! I think that's too much." I said mildly irritated to what she said about kiari.

She rolled her eyes and sighed.

"Tss. you said that because you don't know him." She said mad.

I don't think talking to her is a good idea.

"Then tell me, what I don't know about him." I sighed and she rolled her eyes again.

"Well, he nearly killed my boyfriend." She pouts and doodling with random stuff on her table.

"Why did he do that?" I asked I know kiari more.

"My boyfriend told me. He saw kiari at the bar and he said that kiari pushed him and he fell on the floor." She told me her brows arched.

"Maybe Kiari has a reason. Why he do that." I asked trying to defend Kiari.

"Uh-oh No no." She said her side lips lifted up and her finger beside the thumbs wiggled.

"Kiari blocked his way to the bathroom and kiari pushed him. Then Kiari starts beating him a good thing the bouncer immediately came and my boyfriend still breathing. But he has four broken ribs." I stunned for what she said. Really? Kiari is a scoundrel, a badass, and a trouble maker that's why he's bringing a gun with him every time.

"See you don't know anything." She said and smirked.

"Yeah. I need clarification for that." I said and she stunned.

"Don't mention my name, okay?" She said dreading with furrowed eyebrows.

I nodded.

"Selina Alvarez?" The tall man standing at the door. And scanned the room.

I raised my hand and locked his eyes on me.

"The principal calls you." He said so I get up. I looked at Tiffany and she's confused "Weird." she mumbled and read her books.

I followed the tall man outside.

Kiari

I speed down to the highway. I don't wanna leave Selina there she was new to that place and the worst she's Andy's target. He just tries to hurt Selina and I'll kill him together with his dad.

I have arrived at the secret house and sprinted inside. When Baron saw me he hands me the mail. I opened.

You enrolled her. You're such a good man kiari, why don't you save her from my hand right now?

-Cris.

"Shit!" I ran into my char and over speed through the highways. I need to save Selina. He used her against me, my heart starts racing inside me.

When I got to school. I quickly get off and shut the door, I grabbed my phone from my pocket and dialed her number but she didn't pick up the call. I dialed Cris number and he immediately answers. I can feel the annoyance of his voice.

"What did you do to her? Where is she?!" I shouted to her and all the students looking at me.

"Hahaha on the way here." He said and snickered then ended the call.

I ran heading to the classroom. I saw Tiffany reading books, I walked to her and my tensed presence alarmed her. She looked up at me and she was shocked.

"Where is she?" I asked catching my breath.

"She was called by the principal that's what Andy's said." Andy?! That stupid son of Cris. Cris now using his son to dragged me down. " Shit." Mumbled and ran fast outside. Heading to the principal's office.

"Where's Alvarez?!" I asked the principal. She was shocked and shook her head. "I don't know," she said.

I can't track her location. What did Cris do to her?! The thought that she's now on my enemies' hand terrified me. What if they kill her? What if they are beating her right now?

I get in the car shut the door and grabbed my laptop. Tracked Cris' location and Andy's location.

6th street, maybe they are on the big abandoned house. I over speed through highways and got on my condo in just a split of a second. I changed my clothes, I wore a ballistic shield and covered it my shirt and leather jacket and I put a cap on. Grabbed my new gun and slipped them in my waistband and my knife as well. I hurriedly went into the parking lot and get on my motorbike.

In a span of a minute, I arrived at the 6th st. Abandoned house, I memorized this place since this is our hidden place before. Not until Milbert found out. I entered the house avoid making any noise,

I saw two men drinking inside.

One man stood up and entered the room, I hurriedly went to the man imbibing the liquor and cracked his leg and hide his body. I after him, I stood beside the door and when the door open And he walked out I cut his neck and carried the body behind the stairs.

I entered the room and saw Cris standing. I was behind him I shot his legs and he bends contorting in pain. He slowly turned around limping, Two men came sprinting and I instantly shot them on the center of their heads. I was surprised when someone wrapped a rope on my neck and pulled it. I grabbed the rope and someone kicked my back I bend on my knees, He grabbed his gun on his waistband and aimed it on my head. I kicked the gun and he lost the gripped, I kicked his balls while they keep pulling the rope. She yelled out in pain, I move quickly and cracked his leg. I cut the rope and caught the gun that flew up. And shot them.
