[ TIME FOR A LITTLE REVENGE ]
Jade wiped her face clean before turning to look at Brielle very well.
“Here” Brielle stretched a small plastic to her and Jade only stared at her without collecting it.
“It’s a magical ointment that’ll help cure your black eyes over night” Brielle explained.
“Why should I trust you? Why are you suddenly interested in helping me don’t tell me you’re into me oh well I’m sorry because I’m not into girls!” Jade scoffed and looked elsewhere.
“Woah woah, calm there tiger, I’m only in because I’m into the revenge so take it!” Brielle opened Jade’s palm and placed the ointment on it.
“And besides, you don’t wanna have your revenge, looking like a buzz with this black eye” Brielle smirked.
Jade collected it reluctantly.
“I’ll see you later” Brielle smiled and left.
Jade looked at the ointment before opening it and smelling inside of it.
It had this scent of delicious fresh petal and she couldn’t wait to use it.
✮✮✮✮✮✮
Nora just arrived to the school, she wanted to open the door that’ll lead to the school hallway but her hand jambed with someone else.
“I’m sorry” she said immediately.
“It’s you again”..
The familiar voice made her looked up. It was Declan, she was standing beside Declan again.
“Nora right?” He asked and Nora just nodded as fast as possible.
“Heading to cla-ss? I’m also going there, we can walk together” he said with a smile.
Nora blinked and nodded before Declan opened the door.
“Ladies first please” he made space for her to enter.
Nora forced a smile and entered before he followed behind.
While they were walking together, Nora was nothing but really nervous, her hands kept gripping the hems of her backpack really tight and her legs were shaking a bit.
“Are you okay?” Declan asked when he saw her gripping her bag really tight.
“Huh? I’m fine” she forced a smile and took another step forward but her kneels wobbled and she wanted to fall.
However, before she could fall, Declan had already placed his hand at her back and helped her straighten up.
“You sure you’re really okay?” He asked and his hands were still on her back which was making her nervous.
“You sure I shouldn’t carry you? I think you’d weight not less than 50kg” he eyed her body and shrugged.
Nora couldn’t stand it anymore, she moved away front him immediately.
“I’ll just walk myself to cla-ss” she replied and began moving fast.
Declan went after her.
“Are you nervous because you don’t want my fans to see us walking to clas-stogether? A lot of people are wishing for this you know?” He said.
Nora looked at him but didn’t say anything.
“Anyways our concert would be next week, hope you have you ticket ready?” He then asked.
“I’ll watch it online” she replied.
“Why? Don’t wanna see us perform live?”
“No, I don’t just want my grade to suffer, I’ve been lacking on a lot of things lately” she muttered.
Declan smiled and looked sideways while Nora used that opportunity to admire his handsome face.
“I remember you now” he turned to look at her and she immediately faced her front.
“You’re my rival, always getting the first position and leaving me with the second, I’ve always wanted to meet you” he smiled and stretched his hands out.
Nora looked at his hands then his face.
“Pretty shy aren’t you? Place your palms here” he used his eyes to motion her to place her hand on his.
Nora’s heart was beating so fast as she placed her tiny hand on his. His hand were warm and a bit strong while hers were soft.
“I love the feel of your hands, so soft that it reminds me of my dead cat” Declan muttered while feeling the back of her palms.
He didn’t know that all what he’s doing was having high effects on Nora.
“Nora right?” He looked up at her and asked.
Just then Charlie appeared behind them but immediately stopped her movement.
“Hmm” Nora nodded shyly.
“I want to see your face more often” he said gently and Nora smiled
Few seconds of silence pa-ssed without anyone saying anything, Declan’s eyes were on her hands while she was looking at his face.
When Declan raised his face up to meet her gaze, he creased his brows a bit.
Charlie felt like she shouldn’t be here anymore so she turned around to leave but bumped her head into the door that was behind her.
Ouch!
The loud thud made Nora and Declan turned to look at her.
“Charlie?” Declan called and left Nora’s hands immediately.
“Hey guys, was on my way to cla-ss” Charlie slowly turned around with a forced smile on her face.
“Same with us, we can all go together” Declan replied.
“No need, I forgot something at the parking lot” Charlie replied and without wasting any more time she rushed out.
Declan kept looking at her direction while Nora bit her li-ps slightly, she was busy rubbing on her palm as she remembered the feel of Declan’s li-ps on it.
“You go to cla-ss, I’ll be back” Declan replied and went towards Charlie’s direction immediately.
Nora pouted her li-ps sadly.
“I knew you’d go after her” she mumbled.

PARKING LOT**
Charlie kept su-cking in de-ep breaths as she parade the parking lot.
When she saw them looking at eachother that way, she felt so upset, really upset, she felt something hurting her somewhere around her chest.
“Relax Charlie, she’s a human so she deserves to be with him, I’m a fairy probably a monster in his eyes” she said to herself.
“Says who?” Declan asked behind her and she shut her eyes tight.
‘Hope he didn’t hear me when I said fairy?’ she thought.
“Why did you run away?” He asked as he moved closer to her.
Charlie immediately looked elsewhere.
“Run? From you? Oh please” she muttered and scoffed.
Declan moved to her side and she looked elsewhere.
“You didn’t like the way you saw us together?” He asked with a smile.
“Why wouldn’t I? She’s pretty, probably likes you” Charlie twitched her li-ps.
Declan smiled and moved to the other side she was facing.
“What’s it with you?” Charlie turned to the other side.
“I should ask you that” he replied and came to her side again.
Charlie sighed and looked at him.
“When I heard your voice that night, I thought of something” he said and scratched the back of his neck nervously.
“What?” Charlie asked slowly.
“This evening, can you meet me in front of our neighborhood, just the both of us, I feel like we need to talk” he said.
“About?..” Charlie narrowed her eyes.
“Anything Charlie,I just wanna have some alone time with you, I’ll wait for you outside this evening” he replied and left.
A slow smile formed on Charlie’s face before she looked up and sighed.

AFTER SCHOOL★ BILLS MANSION, JADE’S ROOM**
Jade stared at her black eyes in the mirror before lifting the ointment that was given to her by Brielle.
*It’ll help cure your black eyes over night* she recalled Brielle’s words before opening the ointment and rubbing it on her eye.
When she was done she picked the small knife that was on the table before moving towards Elijah’s picture.
“I know I’ve said it a lot of times that I’m done being stupîd but I’m for real this time Elijah and I’ll prove it to you and the whole world!” She stabbed his picture with her knife before going to take her phone.
She sat on her bed with a smile and went to her account. She’s popularly known as Dragon Queen and has millions of followers on all social media platforms.
★BABY DRAGONS, LET’S HAVE A MEETING AT SUN MILL PARK AROUND 6pm★
She posted it and under one minute, thousands of people were already reacting to her post.
“Elijah, Sophie, keep making a fool outta me but there’s nothing I do better then revenge” she smiled deviously.
✮✮✮✮✮✮
EVENING★ DMGH HEADQUARTERS**
“Guys if you need me, I’ll be in the neighborhood writing new songs” Declan announced as he was set to leave with his piano.
“fu-ckoff, no one will look for you” Micah replied from the couch where he was sitting and watching TV with his legs crossed together.
Declan rolled his eyes and left the house.
“Micah! Screw you I told you not to start watching the movie without me, pause and play back from the beginning” Gael ran from behind and flew ontop of the couch.
“No way!”
***
Declan got outside and placed his piano on the stand, he looked around before sitting down.
It was a bit cold outside but he didn’t mind it as long as Charlie would come meet him.
Meanwhile Charlie was watching him from that window in her building.
“Are you going to go see him?” Brielle asked behind her.
Charlie looked at Brielle and shook her head immediately.
“He’s so persistence, I don’t wanna forget what I’m here for” she replied.
Brielle smiled and placed her hands on Charlie’s shoulders.
“I’m glad you remembered that, I’m going to bed, close the window and turn off the lights” Brielle yawned and went to bed.
Charlie stared at Declan again and sighed before closing that curtain.
Two hours had pa-ssed but Charlie didn’t come out. Declan sighed and rubbed his forearm together, he was feeling so cold again but maybe if he waits for one more hour she might come down.
While waiting he decided to play the piano and go with any song that entered his head.
????Please don’t leave me alone in the snow
????I just wanna see you to keep myself warm
????Green eyes, your smile lights up my world in the middle of the dark starless night
????At first I thought I was crazy
????Just saw your face not to long ago…
????And I’m seeing myself fantasizing about the future I’m not even sure that we could have
????But maybe if you let the rope holding you loose
????You’ll see a better day in me
????Because I can’t stop myself from running the jungles and climbing mountains just to see that smile….
He closed his eyes and played the piano a bit more, his eyes went open when a warm blanket covered his shoulders.
“Charlie” he turned to his side to look at her as she took the space beside him.
“I thought you wouldn’t come out anymore” he muttered.
“I didn’t wanted to but I couldn’t keep you waiting, I’m sorry” she mumbled.
“It’s fine,I’m fine now” he smiled.
Charlie nodded and stared at the piano.
“That song earlier…” She trailed off.
“Do you like it?” Declan asked and she nodded, smiling slightly.
Declan couldn’t help but smile too.
“Charlie” he called.
“Hmm?” She turned to look at him.
“Can I tell you something?” He asked and she nodded.
“Close your eyes then”
“Why?”
“Please” he whispered.
Charlie nodded and closed her eyes, her eyes were shaking a bit and her heart was beating fast-er, anticipating what he wanted to do.
Declan started at her pretty face for a short while, he began leaning forward with his eyes on her li-ps.
‘Should I do this!?’
‘Will she like it!?’
‘But the moment’
‘I can’t waste it’
So many thoughts were running throu-ghhis mind he leaned closer to her. He saw her li-ps parted a bit, seems like she was anticipating for it too.
However when his li-ps was a little close in touching hers, a bucket of water fell from nowhere, we-tting the both of them.
Charlie stood up immediately and wiped her face.
“Is this what you wanted to tell me?” She looked upset.
“I swear it wasn’t me” Declan raised his hands up but Charlie had already stormed out.
He squee-zed his we-t shirt and looked up then saw Micah holding a bucket and smiling slightly.
“Micah you did this!?” He yelled like he couldn’t believe his eyes.
“I’m not sorry now come back in, it’s time to go to bed” Micah replied and closed the window.
“Gosh! That boy will be the death of me!” Declan took his piano and stormed inside.
✮✮✮✮✮✮
NEXT MORNING★ BILLS MANSION, JADE ROOM**
Jade stretched her arms as she got up from bed, the first thing she did was to feel her eyes and seeing that it was smooth, she went to check her face out in the mirror.
“No way” she gasped at what she just saw.
The black eye was gone, that girl wasn’t lying when she said the ointment would work overnight.
Now she doesn’t have to wear stupid sun gla-sses.
“Time for a little revenge” Jade smiled at her reflection in the mirror before going to the bathroom.
When she came out, she looked different. Just as her nick name, she looked like the queen of dragon herself, looking really dangerous in a dark make up early in the morning.
“Mom good morning” she greeted when she claimed down the stairs.
“Jade” Tiffany looked at her face.
“You aren’t putting on your sun gla-sses anymore, impressive” Tiffany smiled.
“Whatever mom, I’m off to school” Jade smirked and left.
Nora came down afterwards.
“Morning mom!”
“Nora my dear, how are you feeling?” Tiffany asked with a smile.
“I’m fine” Nora smiled and sat down.
Throu-ghout the breakfast, Tiffany has been noticing Nora rubbing her palms and smiling.
“What’s wrong with your palm?” Tiffany asked worriedly.
Nora looked at her palm and the scene of when Declan held her there came to her mind. The way he smiled at her and rubbed on her palms gently…
“Nora are you sure you’re fine?” Tiffany moved her face closer to Nora’s.
“Mom stop it I’m fine” Nora said with a shy smile.
“Your ears are red and that smile…” A wide smile appeared on Tiffany’s face and she moved her chair closer to Nora’s.
“Mom stop! I’ll wait for you in the car” Nora took a slice of bread and left the living room.
Tiffany smiled as she watched her daughter ran off.
“She’s so cute while acting this way” she chuckled.
✮✮✮✮✮✮
CAMBRIDGE HIGHSCHOOL**
????Oh m gee! Is Jade!!
????She’s looking really hot today!
????Never knew she was this se-xy!
????Her makeup OMG!
????Did she restyled her way, it really complemented her face!
Silent whispers were heard from the students as Jade showed up looking extremely different.
Her uniform was extra short, her hair straight, dark make up with a confident smile.
Jade brushed all their comments and went to Brielle’s locker.
Brielle and Charlie could be seen talking together but she ignored Charlie and faced Brielle.
“Thanks for your ointment it helped me and I want you to know that we aren’t friends, you should mind your business from now on” she said with her arms crossed under her bre-ast.
Brielle just smirked.
“The only way you can pay me back is to put on a good show”.
“You don’t have to tell me my job” Jade smiled then looked at Charlie who just smiled at her.
She scoffed and left.
“I like her” Brielle said.
“Yeah, she seems cool” Charlie shrugged and played with her hair a bit.
****
“Your ex is looking really hot today” one of Elijah friend’s said to him as they were coming out from the boys locker room.
“She’s not my ex” he murmured.
“But you hit her” his friend said.
“And she’ll forgive me as she should” Elijah scoffed.
“Being the co-cky lately” his friend smirked.
Elijah scoffed and wrapped his arms around his friends shoulders.
“She won’t be able to resist after seeing the surprise apology I made for her in the cafeteria” he said with a smile.
His friend just laughed and they left together.
