RIIIIIINGGG!!! ...... RIIIIIINGGG!!!

We all looked at Maddie and she frowned. She saw her phone on and someone's calling. She quickly grabbed it and made a 'peace sign'.

"Yeah, I'm watching. Go on... continue your business." she said and picked up. I looked at xiaojun and he has the chance now to push me away but someone pushed me to the back... I would say it's ten

And I kissed him.

All the people cheered and Maddie was only smirking at me while talking on the phone. After a moment, He quickly pushed me away and looked at ten with fury. Told it.

"What the fuck?!" he yelled and I smirked in victory. It tastes sweet tho. I wanna have more until— no! stop it lucas! Now its not the time...

"hey, you enjoyed it, right? We're just having a good time." Kun said coolly and xiaojun hit his pillow to kun's head.

"PILLOW FIGHT!!!" Hendery yelled and started hitting ten and the other fought back. Seconds later, all of them started hitting. I'm only laughing at their childishness until xiaojun smashed his pillow to me. I glared at him and he stuck his tongue out. I hit him and he does the same to me until the others united and started hitting only me.

"Hey! Why are you only hitting me?! Its not fair!!" I complained and they all laughed. Maddie came in and we all looked at her with a plastered smirk on our faces. She shook her head and grabbed her own pillow for defense.

We run towards her and hit her. After getting tired of all these fighting, we all laughed and decided to call it a night.

A couple of weeks later, we all became closer than ever. We even have our own table in the cafeteria and yeah, I don't wanna sit with their so-called 'popular table' anymore, the table for all the popular seniors or juniors.

Speaking of Maddie, she's in the clinic now, she had a cut on the side of her lip and bruises on her knuckles. Which explains why we're all here inside. Not minding the nurse scolding us to get out and let Maddie have a rest.

"Maddie! Are you okay? What happened?! Did someone hurt you?! I'M GONNA KILL THAT-" ten was cut off by Maddie, shushing him and telling him that she's okay.

"I just got hit accidentally by-"

"Who's the guy anyway? Don't worry, I won't hurt him." Hendery said innocently and I stared at him deadpanned.

"Look, all of you boys, go to your respective-" the nurse was cut off when someone entered.

The Principal.

Wait. There's someone coming...

.

Ashley and... her friends?!!

There are some boys too but they looked like they got into a fight. Black eye, bruises on their faces.

"Madeleine? Is it true that you cause this trouble?" Mr. Park asked sternly, pointing at the boys in front of us and she stood up with an angry look.

"Me?! Ask that motherfucker of a bitch! You caused all of this right?! You're the one who instructed all these boys to hurt me! Stop playing that you're the heroine here, being all innocent and dumb! That role doesn't suit you bitch!" Maddie pointed at Ashley, her anger boiling in a highest temperature.

I put my hand on her shoulder to calm her down, xiaojun and the others were really shocked, even me. All wide eyes looking at her.

"Madeleine, calm yourself! And watch your language!" the principal scolded

"First of all, you should thank me because I'm the one who saved your sorry ass. And second, why the hell are you blaming me? What, you got proof? Show it then!" Ashley challenged and Maddie let out her phone and show us a video from her camera roll.

Maddie's POV

Earlier

I'm walking my way to the comfort room, class is still going. Until I heard some giggling and voices. I peeked behind the wall and saw Ashley and her friends with three boys.

Yeah right. That's why I heard a mouse squeaking with his musketeers. What a shame.

"You know what to do, right?" Ashley asked and I frowned. Without thinking, I let out my phone and record them a video.

What the hell are they up to this time?

"Yeah. We'll make sure to shut her down in a week. Without anyone knowing." One of the boys said

"Good. You'll do that in dismissal. Remember! The target is Madeleine. If you hurt someone that's not her, you're dead." She threatened and the latters nodded. I glared at her and put my phone to the floor but still recording.

"Oh really? Why don't you do it now!"

I balled my hands into a fist and punched the guy in front of me. On the left side, I kicked his stomach and the fight continues.

While I was busy fighting, I saw Ashley and her friends getting away.

"DON'T BE A COWARD AND FIGHT ME, BITCH! THIS STARTS NOW!!"
