Opposite - Meteor garden

The next morning, Ash walked over to the bridge room. Rocco was following her as always. There was a lot of people standing there. It seemed like they really wanted to see Ash lose.The crowd moved just seeing Ash. She stopped at the front of the door and she stares at the handles. People were whispering loudly. Everyone believed it was impossible to beat F4. Ash opened the door and quickly walks inside.

As she walked down the white, spiral stairs, she noticed Si looking at her. Lei was looking at her as well. "Welcome to the bridge room." said Si. "I like it. Alright, lets get this over with."

Si chuckles, "Not so fast." Ash rolls her eyes.

"What now?"
"We have to choose the rewards."
"Hurry up then."
"Don't hurry me!"

Si annoyingly stares at her, "The loser has to spend the night in a dark room tied to a chair." Ash smiles and places her hands under her chin. She couldn't pass up the opportunity. She didn't have a choice anyway. "Deal." Ash finally says. "You seem confident." Ximen tells her. "Can't wait to beat him in this."

"That's impossible...how could you possibly win?" asked Si. Ash shrugs and a slow smirk appears on her face. "I hope you have fun in your dark room. All alone. Tied up." Lei was intrigued, although it didn't seem like it. He was reading a book about music, but he was still very aware of his surroundings. He was interested in Ash, maybe not in a romantic way, but she definitely caught his eye.

Ash got up from her seat and started heading up, "I'll be off now. See ya!"

The crowd from earlier was still there. They started whispering again once she appeared.

"She probably lost."
"She's a little scary."
"I love her, she's so cool!"

Ash was glad she won, maybe that way, Si would stop bothering her. Meanwhile, Si was still upset at Ash's fair win. "I don't understand how she won." Meizuo said as he took a seat. Lei put his book down and responded, "It's not easy to win, but she won against Si. She must be really good." Si clenched his jaw and slowly turned to him. He was always intimidating like that.

"If you really think about it, Si and Ash have similar qualities." Ximen said, adjusting his glasses. Si quickly jerked his head, "Of course not! I'm nothing like that stupid girl." Lei suspected that Si might've caught feelings for her.

Ash was walking home, without her bodyguard. Rocco had said that he was going to wait outside, but he must've been distracted. She ditched him and quickly made her way home. That was the plan until something grabbed her wrist, pulling her into a dark alley way. Before she was able to do anything else, she was knocked out.

Ash wakes up in a dark room. She tried moving but nothing worked. She was tied to the chair. "What the hell is going on?" She asked, clearly upset. "Well, look who do we have here." said a shadow. Ash remembers that voice. "Jack?" "You actually remember me." Said Jack. Ash struggles to move again. "What the hell Jack? Why am I tied up?" He laughs. "I need to bring Si here. I'm using you as bait."

Ash begins laughing "Si won't come here. He doesn't care about me. In fact, he hates me." Jack slaps her. "Only speak when spoken to."

Meanwhile, Rocco walks around trying to find Ash but no luck. Until he heard yelling. "Hm?" He turned to the alley way and cautiously walked towards it.

He goes inside an old and broken down building and he hears people talking.

"He better come here!"
"Trust me, he won't."

Rocco frowned, trying to remember who the manly voice belonged to. Quickly enough, he remembered Jack and quietly moved towards her. Not too close, or he would've definitely been seen.

"You little rascal. Don't try anything." Ash rolls her eyes and looks away. She will definitely be trying anything to get out of there.
