'The heir of ketchum corporation running a bully ring...' Calem looked at the news on the old dusty newspaper published in the morning not bothering to even read the rest of the article.. He was being set on fire and here he was.. His eyes rose looking at Ash not caring about it even in the slightest... His unbothered gaze among the homeroom was something that scared Calem not that he would ever admit...

It has been 2 days since his downfall begun and he saw it fall in front of his eyes...

"I knew that bastard was acting too mighty after winning a match or two.. Serves him right.. Like a digital tattoo, his name will forever will be on internet.." Calem's ear caught a stray rumour from the back of the class said loud on purpose to irk him off and he realised it.. This was precisely why he hated little clique. Everything was so strained... Rather than a class group, people acted all on thier own...

What he didn't realised was why Ash decided to fuck with the Sakurai herself.. That girl was more crafty than Ash and Marnie combined when it came to protect herself's image.. She ended up using the entire school to protect herself and frame Ash... "You can't expect to poke the hive and come out unscathed Ash... There are people you can't fuck with.." Calem tried to reason with Ash.. All the people he ordered to be bullied and bullies turned his back onto him after Sakurai's offer..

They knew he could expel anyone and they didn't wanted it...

The said boy allowed his wild hair to cover up his eyes hiding his expression staring at the device clenching it lightly..
'It seems your little character assessment of the girl came out to be wrong Aurora..' Ash stared at the message he sent her fiddling with his device.. Aurora did said she ran a background check on the girl and figured out she will be loyal if a reasonable deal was provided to her but in the end she was a gambler...

Deals change and so did the sides...

"What was the file which was sent to us last night?" Calem tried to ask another question to the living mummy in front of him who didn't bothered answering him staring at Astrid's empty desk... He didn't wanted her to be dragged into it as his girlfriend and knew how to deal with it on his own.. The first two days were hectic for her... He blamed himself for the strain between her parents and her which she didn't minded at all but it was there..

"Come on Ash.. Answer the fucking question.. You won't be able to handle it all on your own..." Calem placed his hand onto his shoulder when his device rung.. Every head in the silent class head shot toward Calem who reached for his device looking at his father's number on it.. Ash being aware he was being set on flame looked out of the window at the convoy of cars that entered the school among the yells of questions...
