"Maybe he's more than a gang leader. Maybe he's a secret assassin!", Kim Hana made it seem like he was an undercover agent. She must have guessed by now what kind of guys can make Kate's heart flutter.
"The boss who leads the college in turf wars"
Ivy added, while Kate was imagining, she signaled at Kim Hana to exaggerate a bit. And she knew what exactly to say, "He fights, bullies and.."
Just when she seemed to be running out of words, Ivy added a little more, "..runs away from home, he's on drug, drinks and gets lucky everynight with different faces."
For a moment, Ivy felt like she was going way too far, but well, she didn't care.
They kept making fun of Ian, totally unaware of the situation he was going through. Kim Hana asked them to go shopping with her later in the evening.
"It's been an eternity since my last shopping."
Ivy said scrunching up her face miserably. Being overdramatic, she could change her expression from misery to grinning real quick.
"Ayo! Do you guys even realise how you all look like from afar?", Alex shouted while slowly walking toward them. He held his phone straight up making it seem like he was clicking pictures.
"Are you clicking our pictures? Do we look so beautiful from afar?", Kate's face lit up not only because he was taking pictures of her, but the fact that he was looking at her from a distance made her face turn red.
It wasn't hard for anybody to read them and tell how both of them felt for each other. It was obvious for even a stranger, with no exceptions.
However, Kate and Alex were apparently the only exceptions.
"Not even close. You three look like crackheads!", Alex said with a muffled laugh while running his hands gently on Kate's head.
Suddenly, a loud noise was heard from the end of the cafeteria attracting everybody's attention. The originally noisy and chaotic area quitenend down.
Within minutes, everyone started running towards the noise while the four of them looked at each other questioning and were dumbfounded.
They went across to the other side along with the others. The cafeteria was crowded in an instant leaving no room for Ivy to see. All she could hear were voices laced with infatuation. She somehow got her way in, her gaze drifted on a tall, smooth figure.
She couldn't help notice the fitted dark blue retro shirt which complimented the masculine body underneath. Glancing down, Ivy could see a pair of perfectly straight legs leading to a pair of freshly polished leather shoes which glistened in the sunlight coming through the window. This man had a strong presence. He grabbed the collar of another man who's face couldn't be seen due to the crowd.
While the crowd was cheering up for the two to fight, Kate hollered, "Kill him, Ian! Triangle choke him to death! Punch him right in that face!"
"Kate! What do you think you're doing?", Ivy asked while laughing. Of course she didn't notice the man standing in front of them was Ian, the guy she has been speaking ill about.
Kate, laughing with an evil glint in her eye said, "It's our first day and we already witnessed a fight between the Ruiz brothers. It'd be so interesting if one of them killed the other"
Upon hearing the name, Ivy narrowed her eyes and asked, "Hold on. The Ruiz brothers? The Ian you were talking about is THE Ian Ruiz?"
The Ruiz brothers were very famous. Who wouldn't know about the sons of the business tycoon, Javier Ruiz? So whatever Ivy and Kim Hana assumed about him were actually true.
"Duh, Of course he's THE Ian Ruiz. Who else do you think can take my breath away?"
Kate said with infatuation and adoration filled in her eyes.
"You are wrong at so many levels!", Ivy exclaimed with sigh.
Ian Ruiz. Not only was he a royal dick, but also the heir of the Ruiz family. Just like she assumed, a rich spoilt brat with nothing but his looks.
He wasn't just riding on his wealth and good looks but he was also known for his grades. A GPA so low, and still not caring about it? Not everyone's piece of cake. His mother died in a car accident near the bridge of M. County. She has always been his rock.
Whereas his step mother, Audrey Ruiz never had that strong maternal instinct which he needed. As his father is always busy, there's no one else to stop their disputes.
Ivy was least bothered about Ian and his step brother, Finn Ruiz as both the brothers were exceptionally gorgeous and way out of her league.
Perhaps it was an elite school; in a glance, there were indeed a handful of good looking boys. But after seeing this tall handsome man, they paled in comparison.
Soon the crowd was cleared followed by Ian's friends, Debbie and Cordan Smith.
The Smith brothers are twins; they are well acquainted with Ian, the three handle almost all the tough situations together.
As the break ended, Ivy and her friends headed back to their home while Ian headed to Debbie's place.
After a warm shower, Ivy was too tired. She just wanted to call it a day already.
