[ 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 jammed 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 class? 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 class" 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 class together? 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 passed 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 class" 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 lips slightly, she was busy rubbing on her palm as she remembered the feel of Declan's lips on it.

"You go to class, I'll be back" Declan replied and went towards Charlie's direction immediately.

Nora pouted her lips sadly.

"I knew you'd go after her" she mumbled.

****

PARKING LOT**

Charlie kept sucking in deep breaths as she parade the parking lot.

When she saw them looking at each other 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 lips.

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.
