On Monday Ashley get ready for the school Today she feels that dormitory parking area is filled with expensive cars.she still didn't explore the dining hall for the breakfast. Mostly she do breakfast from the small bakery. That bakery was owned by a kind old woman who always greet her warmly.
She finally reached the school gate,to her surprise it was very crowded and her friends were waiting for her in the gate. Julia came forward "Ash we have been waiting for you lets go to our class"
"You guys don't need to wait for me I could have joined you in the class"
"Don't be silly Ash from now own we will remain in a group" The others nodded "Ash we are friends and we will help each other"
Ashley was proud that she was able to make such a good friends who don't want to leave her alone "Yeah sure and today cafeteria treat is from me" she don't mind spending money on them. Julia grabbed her forearm. Ashley had been getting irritated of her past uninvited attempts but she is the one who became friend with her so she ignored.
On their way to class unlike she gets a lot of awkward glances from the students which she never see before. Most of the boys were well built and heighted compare to them she do look like a child but she knows in fighting size doesn't matter.
Rex who are in the hall with Christy also saw Ashley they were waiting for Ian and Ronald who still didn't came to school "Did you see Christy is that scrawny boy really a Vincent"
"Oh come on Rex he is cute" said one of the girl.
Christy was busy staring at Julia.Since the day Julia joined the school Christy was annoyed at her fruitless attempts to impressed Ian. Julia also dated with different Ian gang boys but she only used them to get close to Ian "Did you see guys how proudly she was walking and challenging our authority"
Rex laughed "You just wait and see that boy does not stand against our Ian .if they wants to enjoy the power or authority they need to beat us"
Harvey adjusted his glasses he felt something fishy about Ashley "That boy features is too girly maybe it's only my imagination but that guy beat the boys from second year " he thought.
"Hello guys sorry we are late Ian forgets to iron his clothes last night" lied Ronald. They have just arrived
"You guys were having breakfast in some restaurant am I right?" inquired Christy
"Well.... Christy we............we want to call you but... Ronald tries to give explanation
"Maybe you ran out of money and you can't even text me, girls lets go back to our class" Christy stomped her feet and leave angrily
"Why are you giving her the explanation Ronald?" asked Ian Annoyingly
Well isn't she is your girlfriend? Asked Rex
She is not I have told you guys hundreds of times and even if she was ,still I don't give permission to anyone to interfere where I go and what I do? The only reason I hang out with her because of my family business relationship with her family.
"Ok calm down buddy we were just teasing you," Ronald put his arm around his shoulder.
"By the way Ian today we saw the Vincent boy his name was Ash"
Ian frowned "Really too bad we are late"
"You know he was very muscular and looked tough.Ian it's not easy to beat him" lied Rex. Harvey was trying hard to control his laughter
Ian glared at them for the moment "Well it will be a fun to beat him then"
"We do not care that he beat some students from the second year but he needs to accept us as his leader" says Ronald
Harvey adjusted his glasses "But he is the Vincent Ronald,and you know the rivalry between Vincent and Salvatore"
Ian smiled and spoke coldly "That is way it will be more fun to make him my bitch I will show him that he cannot mess with Salvatore" he then leave for his class
"Well I feel bad for that Vincent " thought Harvey
After third period Ashley along with her friends goes to cafeteria. The cafeteria was more crowded than before Julia was barking orders " Hey you don't know we came just leave and give us space"
"I see someone is in a very foul mood today" spoke Christy who was sitting on her right bench
"Hey Christy I didn't see you how are you huh you are alone I didn't see your boyfriend" teased Julia
Christy expression darkened but she spoke sweetly "Julia you shouldn't care about other girls boyfriend when you finally got the one you wanted"
Julia adjusted her lipstick "Are you jealous?"
Jealous laugh Christy "In fact I pity you tell me Julia" she says silently "Is he a man enough to fulfill your needs"
"How dare you...." But she was interrupted when Ashley grabbed her hand "come Julia I found a place for us to sit"
Ashley turns to go their sitting spot but bumped with someone, a tall handsome boy with raven hair looking at her She ignored the frown on his face " lets go Julia" she takes her to their table.
Ian looked at his friends who were laughing "tough and Muscular" he says sarcastically. Ronald was also shocked to see this. All of them joined Christy in the table .
Ronald grabbed the burger from the plate " Thanks Christy for ordering a meal for us" Christy rolled her eyes "Well I always think about my friends first before eating" she taunts
Ian ignored her comment.
Ronald clear his throat he wants to erase the tension " Well that Vincent boy is no threat to us and you know Ian before coming here I call Jason"
Ian stretch his legs "Why did you call him for?r to beat that fem boy, here I was looking forward for the real challenge but what a disappointment" He looked at the direction where Ashley was sitting 'Is that boy really belong to the Vincent family he is too weak and what of his girly features" he thought his thoughts were interrupted when Rex spoke
"Ian but we can't ignore the facts that he beat those boys he maybe small but he can fight"
Ronald sighs "Rex even our old janitors can beat those boys it is no big deal if he kick their ass, but I agree with Rex. Ian do you have anything in your mind?"
Christy crossed her arms and looked at the place where Julia was sitting she was continuously laughing and giggling and giving ugly stares to students who tried to come near their bench "Whatever you plan just do it quickly I can't tolerate that slut Julia acting as if she owned that place"
Ian grins "Chill out guys at the end of the day I will drill in the skull of Vincent boy, that this place is not his playground it's our territory"
After the last period Ashley was packing her things Julia Rick and Jack were discussing where they will hang out this evening. "Don't they ever become tired she has been hanging out with them for the last two days" her thoughts were interrupted when two boys from seniors class came inside and stared at Ashley coldly
"Hey shorty our leader is calling you in the school gymnasium"
How dare they are calling her shorty she is 5.3 Ft which is a normal height for any teenage girl. "I am going home don't have a time to deal with you people tell your leader we will meet tomorrow" She pick up her bag and about to leave. "I think Ash you should listen to them" said Rick hesitantly
Julia lightly hit her elbow to Rick and whisper "don't interfere just imagine if that boy some how defeat Ian and his group our popularity will reach to the point where nobody dares to looked down upon us ever again"
"She is right Rick" whisper jack
"But Jack what if he loses Then Ian will also makes us history"
"You worry too much Rick believe me I will convince Ian not to hurt us" winked Julia
When Ashley reached towards door one boy put a hand on her shoulder "our orders is to bring you"
Ashley quickly moved and punched on that boy jaw hard " Why you little the other boy tries to punch her which she dodged quickly. She moves backward and throw the chair on their direction. Both of the boys dodged but it give enough time to Ashley " come guys what are you waiting for just run" Julia rick and Jack nodded who were shocked at what just happened they know standing there would also get them in trouble so they also run with Ashley.
They finally came out of the school building Ashley began to laugh "oh my goodness that was fun"
Jack pats her back lightly "Yeah you should have seen the looks on their face"
"By the way who send them did you know?"
You don't know asked Jack he is........
"No one' interrupted Julia "just someone who thinks that he owns that place"
Both Rick and Jack give her a confused looked but they also nodded
"Whoever they are if they tries to mess with me again than I will teach them a good lesson"
Julia was smiling she know that Ash just defy the power of Ian and beat his goons now she will brag about her temporary boyfriend to other students but why wait today. She grins and text her friends "now her reporters friends will do that task for her"
At evening Ian with his groups sitting in one of his uncle's club. He was in a foul mood he was angry at himself. In all his school life only few dares to challenge him like that, but those were his equal. He can't tolerate the idea of some twink challenging his authority. He should have gone himself no matter how weak and small that boy is he is still a Vincent. Both of the families had been a rivals for so long their feud is on the casinos.
"Ian we couldn't afford to waste our time anymore" spoke Ronald who was as fumed as Him "If that femboy continue to beat our boys then within days our reputation will sink in gutters"
Harvey takes a sip of juice "He didn't beat them Ronald he just got away"
"Whatever but it's not about beating he ignore Ian orders and that's the last thing we would ignore"
Ian takes a deep breath "patience my friends It's look like we need to teach our rival a lot of things and the first thing will be to obey our commands"
