Chapter 22

AFTER SCHOOL★ BILLS MANSION, JADE'S ROOM**

Jade stared at her black eyes in the mirror before lifting the ointment that was given to her by Brielle.

*It'll help cure your black eyes over night* she recalled Brielle's words before opening the ointment and rubbing it on her eye.

When she was done she picked the small knife that was on the table before moving towards Elijah's picture.

"I know I've said it a lot of times that I'm done being stupîd but I'm for real this time Elijah and I'll prove it to you and the whole world!" She stabbed his picture with her knife before going to take her phone.

She sat on her bed with a smile and went to her account. She's popularly known as Dragon Queen and has millions of followers on all social media platforms.

★BABY DRAGONS, LET'S HAVE A MEETING AT SUN MILL PARK AROUND 6pm★

She posted it and under one minute, thousands of people were already reacting to her post.

"Elijah, Sophie, keep making a fool outta me but there's nothing I can do better than revenge" she smiled deviously.

EVENING★ DMGH HEADQUARTERS**

"Guys if you need me, I'll be in the neighborhood writing new songs" Declan announced as he was set to leave with his piano.

"Fuck off, no one will look for you" Micah replied from the couch where he was sitting and watching TV with his legs crossed together.

Declan rolled his eyes and left the house.

"Micah! Screw you I told you not to start watching the movie without me, pause and play back from the beginning" Gael ran from behind and flew on top of the couch.

"No way!"

***

Declan got outside and placed his piano on the stand, he looked around before sitting down.

It was a bit cold outside but he didn't mind it as long as Charlie would come meet him.

Meanwhile Charlie was watching him from that window in her building.

"Are you going to go see him?" Brielle asked behind her.

Charlie looked at Brielle and shook her head immediately.

"He's so persistence, I don't wanna forget what I'm here for" she replied.

Brielle smiled and placed her hands on Charlie's shoulders.

"I'm glad you remembered that, I'm going to bed, close the window and turn off the lights" Brielle yawned and went to bed.

Charlie stared at Declan again and sighed before closing that curtain.
Two hours had passed but Charlie didn't come out. Declan sighed and rubbed his forearm together, he was feeling so cold again but maybe if he waits for one more hour she might come down.

While waiting he decided to play the piano and go with any song that entered his head.

🎼Please don't leave me alone in the snow
🎼I just wanna see you to keep myself warm
🎼Green eyes, your smile lights up my world in the middle of the dark starless night
🎼At first I thought I was crazy
🎼Just saw your face not to long ago...
🎼And I'm seeing myself fantasizing about the future I'm not even sure that we could have
🎼But maybe if you let the rope holding you loose
🎼You'll see a better day in me
🎼Because I can't stop myself from running the jungles and climbing mountains just to see that smile....

He closed his eyes and played the piano a bit more, his eyes went open when a warm blanket covered his shoulders.

"Charlie" he turned to his side to look at her as she took the space beside him.

"I thought you wouldn't come out anymore" he muttered.

"I didn't wanted to but I couldn't keep you waiting, I'm sorry" she mumbled.

"It's fine,I'm fine now" he smiled.

Charlie nodded and stared at the piano.

"That song earlier..." She trailed off.

"Do you like it?" Declan asked and she nodded, smiling slightly.

Declan couldn't help but smile too.

"Charlie" he called.

"Hmm?" She turned to look at him.

"Can I tell you something?" He asked and she nodded.

"Close your eyes then"

"Why?"

"Please" he whispered.

Charlie nodded and closed her eyes, her eyes were shaking a bit and her heart was beating faster, anticipating what he wanted to do.

Declan started at her pretty face for a short while, he began leaning forward with his eyes on her lips.

'Should I do this!?'

'Will she like it!?'

'But the moment'

'I can't waste it'

So many thoughts were running through his mind he leaned closer to her. He saw her lips parted a bit, seems like she was anticipating for it too.

However when his lips was a little close in touching hers, a bucket of water fell from nowhere, wetting the both of them.

Charlie stood up immediately and wiped her face.

"Is this what you wanted to tell me?" She looked upset.

"I swear it wasn't me" Declan raised his hands up but Charlie had already stormed out.

He squeezed his wet shirt and looked up then saw Micah holding a bucket and smiling slightly.

"Micah you did this!?" He yelled like he couldn't believe his eyes.

"I'm not sorry now come back in, it's time to go to bed" Micah replied and closed the window.

"Gosh! That boy will be the death of me!" Declan took his piano and stormed inside.

NEXT MORNING★ BILLS MANSION, JADE ROOM**

Jade stretched her arms as she got up from bed, the first thing she did was to feel her eyes and seeing that it was smooth, she went to check her face out in the mirror.

"No way" she gasped at what she just saw.

The black eye was gone, that girl wasn't lying when she said the ointment would work overnight.

Now she doesn't have to wear stupid sun glasses.

"Time for a little revenge" Jade smiled at her reflection in the mirror before going to the bathroom.

When she came out, she looked different. Just as her nick name, she looked like the queen of dragon herself, looking really dangerous in a dark make up early in the morning.

"Mom good morning" she greeted when she claimed down the stairs.

"Jade" Tiffany looked at her face.

"You aren't putting on your sun glasses anymore, impressive" Tiffany smiled.

"Whatever mom, I'm off to school" Jade smirked and left.

Nora came down afterwards.

"Morning mom!"

"Nora my dear, how are you feeling?" Tiffany asked with a smile.

"I'm fine" Nora smiled and sat down.

Throughout the breakfast, Tiffany has been noticing Nora rubbing her palms and smiling.

"What's wrong with your palm?" Tiffany asked worriedly.

Nora looked at her palm and the scene of when Declan held her there came to her mind. The way he smiled at her and rubbed on her palms gently...

"Nora are you sure you're fine?" Tiffany moved her face closer to Nora's.

"Mom stop it I'm fine" Nora said with a shy smile.

"Your ears are red and that smile..." A wide smile appeared on Tiffany's face and she moved her chair closer to Nora's.

"Mom stop! I'll wait for you in the car" Nora took a slice of bread and left the living room.

Tiffany smiled as she watched her daughter ran off.

"She's so cute while acting this way" she chuckled.

CAMBRIDGE HIGHSCHOOL**

👥Oh m gee! Is Jade!!

👥She's looking really hot today!

👥Never knew she was this sèxy!

👥Her makeup OMG!

👥Did she restyled her way, it really complemented her face!

Silent whispers were heard from the students as Jade showed up looking extremely different.

Her uniform was extra short, her hair straight, dark make up with a confident smile.

Jade brushed all their comments and went to Brielle's locker.

Brielle and Charlie could be seen talking together but she ignored Charlie and faced Brielle.

"Thanks for your ointment, it helped me and I want you to know that we aren't friends, you should mind your business from now on" she said with her arms crossed under her brèast.

Brielle just smirked.

"The only way you can pay me back is to put on a good show".

"You don't have to tell me my job" Jade smiled then looked at Charlie who just smiled at her.

She scoffed and left.

"I like her" Brielle said.

"Yeah, she seems cool" Charlie shrugged and played with her hair a bit.

****

"Your ex is looking really hot today" one of Elijah friend's said to him as they were coming out from the boys locker room.

"She's not my ex" he murmured.

"But you hit her" his friend said.

"And she'll forgive me as she should" Elijah scoffed.

"Being cocky lately" his friend smirked.

Elijah scoffed and wrapped his arms around his friends shoulders.

"She won't be able to resist after seeing the surprise apology I made for her in the cafeteria" he said with a smile.

His friend just laughed and they left together.
