Madison had began to get on my nerves lately, she and her followers kept playing dirty pranks on me when we were having arts class. When I had told Lory, she felt like mixing some concentrated chemicals and pouring on each of their faces and I just laughed.
    Lory, Jackson, Janice and Ted all came to meet me at the cafeteria where I had reserved some seats for them.
  "Hi, guys". I said jovially waving as they walked up to where I was.
"Sorry for keeping you waiting bestie." Lory said and gave me a quick hug.
  "Nah, it's okay". I smiled
  "Hey girls, look who we have here". I heard Madison's annoying voice beside me and I looked at her once and kept busy with my business...
   "Uh, excuse me, boyfriend snatcher". She shouted
Her last words caught everyone's attention in the cafeteria.
   "Uh, excuse you,!?" I exclaimed cooly while exchanging puzzled glances with Lory and my other friends on the table.
    "Yes, I'm talking to you, Miss Enrile". She confidently said and this made Lory get up angrily but I told her to sit back and Madison just eyed her and faced me back.
  I ignored her and kept on rehearsing my scripts...
    " Hey, I'm talking to you." She said snapping her fingers at my face.
   "So what?" I replied now looking straight at her.
  "Good question. I want you to stay away really really really far away from MY boyfriend, Jason Smith Enrile, He's mine and can never be YOURS." She said harshly as if she owned him.
  "But I never said he was mine." I replied cooly still looking right at her then she smirked a little and said
  "So, you think I'm a fool. I see you following him around and you do lots of things just to get his attention.
But poor you, My boyfriend doesn't even give her a face at all." She laughed mockingly and then made a serious face.
    "Are you done?" I asked cooly, packing my stuffs from the table.
   "What?!" She exclaimed in shock and anger. I stood up and asked the same question "I said are you done? You know what if you got both to say you should just shut up, isn't that right guys?" I said looking at my friends who agreed immediately.
   "How dare you?" Madison raged and was about to raise her her across my face but I caught her wrist tightly and dropped it fiercely.
   " Don't you dare raise your hand to me, ever." I warned seriously with my finger pointing directly at her horse face.
   " And for your information, Lory started and I looked at her and wondered what she was going to say.
  " By the end of this school year, there isn't gonna be a ' Jason and Madison' love story but a ' mitson' love story." She said and my lungs almost came out from my mouth.
   " Lory, what're you saying." I said trying to drag my friend away from the raging villian Madison, but my best friend was too stubborn...
  " Yeah, y'all heard me, 'mitson', Mitchell and Jason's love story. We shall see till then. Bye." she  finally ended her speech, took her bag and grabbed my wrist and was about leaving when Madison spoke
  "So this is a challenge uhn?" She asked
  " Yes, it is." Lory replied sharply.
" But it seems like you aren't thinking straight, Lory. Think if it, Jason and I have been in a relationship for 2 years now and you think he'll just fall in love with a girl he doesn't look at for even a minute, ohh please. That's not possible." She said with so much confidence, arms folded.
  " You know what Maddy, you're scared." Lory said moving close to Madison.
  " Scared? Why would I be scared." She asked
  " Why wouldn't you be, cause u know that the relationship you and Jason have isn't built on love, you only like him as the ' most handsome guy in school' and think you're compatible because you're tagged the ' most beautiful girl' too." Lory explained and I began to wonder how she knew this much...
    "I am not tagged as the most beautiful girl, everyone knows I own it, I mean it's obvious." She said and turned round like a peacock.
    " Seem like you're blinded with so much pride that you can't see your competition." Trevor said and I began to wonder who Maddy's competition was until their direction turned towards me..
  " She?" Madison scoffed " so she's the ' competition' I should be worried about?" She kept on laughing mockingly and stopped when everyone looked at her like she was running mad or something.
  " So y'all think this nerdy eye here can compete with me in beauty. Okay, that's so hilarious" she said laughing again.
   " To me I think she's more beautiful than Madison, what do you guys think?" A guy I have no idea about spoke and almost everyone started nodding in agreement and were murmuring among themselves.
   And the expression on Maddy's face made Lory and I giggle. She angrily went away with her other acy's.
  "Guys, thanks for the support." I said after all the drama was over."
  " You're welcome." Ted replied
  " You were really tough on Madison, lory." a white shirt gal said with four other gals.
" And I really love your confidence." She added and Lory muttered a ' thank you'.
  " Now, you're in for a tough time mitchie. Madison's not gonna let you win this challenge" a guy said and I became worried.
  " But good luck we'll always support you." They said and went away after I said a sincere thank you.
I was upset with Lory and walked away from her when she tried to talk with me.
  " Mitchy, Mitch wait" she called out to me and I stopped walking but didn't face her. We were out of the cafeteria now.
  " Mitchie what's wrong? Why are you upset with me?" She asked trying to hold my hand but I pushed it away and turned to face her now
" Are you seriously asking me what's wrong? Everything is wrong, okay? I replied with moist eyes.
" I'm sorry for putting you in this mess, please don't be upset with me" Lory said with teary eyes too.
  " Look, Lory I'm not upset. I'm just angry at you for putting yourself in this kind of situation. What if there isn't gonna be a ' mitson' love story at the end of school year, do you know how much of a disgrace Madison's gonna give you." I calmly said holding her hands softly.
  " Well, we're in this together, That's why I have confidence. And I assure you that there'll be a love story between Mitchell and Jason even by next week" she said jovially and I just laughed at her and gave her a warm hug.
  " Oh, yeah. How's your relationship with Jason now. Is anything blooming already?" Lory asked as she playfully hit my shoulder.
   " Nothing is blooming, Lory. There are no feelings of love between us. Jason hates me, he literally despises me so much that he said he doesn't want me anywhere around him or his family." I replied staring at my bestie, and I recalled the event that took place at his house.
  " When did he tell you all this? What's wrong mitchie?" She asked me worriedly and curiously. Then I told her everything that transpired between us that day.
  " Oh, this is serious." She finally said when I was done.
  " I know right. And I feel like cookie needs some kind of friendly help." I replied sadly.
  " Yes, she does. And I think she might be autistic. " Lory said staring at me.
  " Exactly what I was thinking." I snapped immediately.
  " Calm down gal." She said tapping my back gently.
   " Lory, you know how people with autism behave. Always unique, totally interesting, sometimes mysterious." I explained seriously.
  " Yeah". She said.
" That's exactly how cookie acted that day. First she was so cute and interesting, then the next moment she acted totally strange. She asked me ' who are you' with a scared look on her face." I added and looked at Lory worriedly, she just hugged me and said " it's gonna be okay"......
