Adrian is known for his playboy nature but he seems to really like Kaitlyn seeing his decision to stick around her and stop his old ways. "I really need to show them I am a changed person, it's so sad they aren't taking me seriously" He said as he got down the stairs and met Audrey, Ryan's sister in the sitting room. "Hey! Audrey, you are home?" He asked as he sat with her
"I am, how have you been?" Audrey asked sipping on her juice. Audrey is an easy going person and she always doesn't want to have issues with their mom so she diligently did all her mom asks
"I'm good" he chuckled and leaned towards her, "why not talk to mom on behalf of Ryan, she should let him out of the house, we miss him around and he should be left to please himself, he is a man after all" He winked
"You know mom and her policies, I don't want to get on her wrong side" Audrey said as she got up from her seat, leaving Adrian alone in the sitting room
"That cold bitch" Adrian muttered as he continued to watch the movie displaying on the screen. It was better than staying with those bully upstairs.

"Hey pop star" a voice greeted mockingly while Ivy was at lunch in school with Kaitlyn and Jocelyn. Ivy looked up wandering who could have called her by that and behold Stacey and her minions were there in front of her.
"And how may I help you?" She asked stuffing a Spoon full of salad into her mouth.
"I just came around to ask you how your newly boyfriend is faring since we aren't seeing him anywhere around" Stacey asked, giggling scornfully. Ivy ignored her and continued eating. "I'm talking to you bitch!!!" She yelled
"Since when did my business become yours and who is your boyfriend that is nowhere to be found?" Ivy replied through clenched teeth trying as much as possible to control her already rising temper.
"Of course you know who I am talking about, thanks to you Ryan can't move freely as he wished but guess what?! I see him everyday. I am sure you are asking why deep down, it's because I am the real deal, you are just a pass over, you'll be used and dumped, asshole!" Stacey bluffed as she turned around to leave with her minions (Catherine and Juliana).
"Just let her go" Jocelyn whispered pulling Ivy's hands down as Ivy made attempt to get up but that only stopped her from getting up, it never stopped her from speaking
"You are nothing but a miserable whore, forcing yourself on someone that does not love you, crazy bitch" Ivy hurled insults on Stacey and this really stepped on Stacey's nerves. She turned around and dealt a good slap on Ivy's face. This met Ivy unexpectedly and her face turned red, Ivy rose to her feet and returned the slap even harder. This let to a big fight between them. There was a big commotion in the cafeteria as this event caused every student to divert their attentions on them. Juliana and Kaitlyn tried to stop the fight to no avail.
"Crazy bitch" Stacey yelled as she pulled Ivy's hair, Ivy returned this act and they were both pulling each other's hair, "Asshole" Ivy yelled in return, "worthless piece" she added, soon everyone was around them, some students brought out their phones and started recording while some tried to stop the fight. Catherine and Juliana were not helping matters at all as they tried holding Ivy still so that Stacey could have her pound of flesh on her. Seeing this, Kaitlyn picked Juliana and started giving her a good beat likewise Jocelyn and Catherine started beating each other too. The atmosphere was so tensed that nobody even noticed the presence of Eston, Adrian and Liam, they wondered what was going on that could keep all students in one part of the cafeteria. They tuggled their way through and as expected, the students made way as soon as they saw them and to their greatest surprise, the girls had given each other a very good beat.
"Clap! Clap!! Clap!!!" Adrian clapped his hand and said "bravo, the girls now get into dirty fights too" he added. This made the girls loose free from each other.
"What the hell is going on here?" Eston asked still confused at why they could get into such fight. "All phones down" He instructed when he realized some students were recording the scene. "Everyone is dismissed!!!" He yelled and all other students went their way, they dare not to obey that instruction, Eston owned the school afterall.
Eston held Ivy by the hand and took her away, Adrian did the same to Kaitlyn, and Liam saw this as an opportunity to get close to Jocelyn so he took her away too.
"Assholes!!!" Stacey said between clenched teeth, she was furious that non of them asked her or checked on her, she left the cafeteria shamefully with her escorts (Catherine and Juliana).
"What has gotten into you, Ivy? How could you stoop so low to have a fight with Stacey? She is not even worth your energy and time" Eston yelled at Ivy, really disappointed at her actions
"You shouldn't judge me and you shouldn't yell at me either, she slapped me first and you don't expect me to ignore that do you?" Ivy asked, checking her body for bruises. Her face was sore red from the slap and the redness in her eyeball due to the pulling of her hair complemented her face.
"I'm sorry for yelling at you but look at you, you are all messed up all for that worthless thing?" Eston said annoyingly and after a pause, he added "You shouldn't have even had a conversation with her let alone fighting with her, she is not worth it, you should expect her to say bad things to you, you snatched her fiance you know"
"I didn't snatch anybody, he doesn't love her, he loves me and he chose me over her, she should just take her jealous self off my business" Ivy retorted.
"It's fine, I get the whole thing, but my dear, there is nothing such as love here in our circle, your parents decides who you should be with and you must love that person, thank goodness I don't have such mother, my mother does not believe in arranging marriage" Eston said smiling as he checked her body for bruises. "I have to help you with your bruises" He said leading her to the rooftop. Ivy was reluctant at first but later shrugged off the feeling. He helped her dress her wounds so that they won't scar and they headed back to class. Ivy wondered why he didn't make any advances towards her, she had expected him to do that, that was why she felt reluctant to follow him. Has he completely let her go? She thought. But she had never seen him this angry before, he was really mad at her. She felt bad for being a disappointment to him.

"I didn't know you were such a fighter" Adrian teased Kaitlyn as he gently dressed her slightly bruised arm in the basket ball training hall, he had taken her there since there was a first aid kit there, Juliana had scratched her with her fingernails when they were fighting.
"Stop that Adrian, you don't know how angry I am, those girls are bitches, they cursed at us first, they even started the fight first" Kaitlyn replied still boiling with anger.
"Yeah, I know but angels like you are not supposed to be found in that kind of situation, you all should have just ignored them, they are wounded lions" Adrian said, "All done, he added as he finished dressing the bruise
"Thanks Adrian, I'm grateful for the care and I am sorry if we disappointed you and the others" Kaitlyn pleaded now reflecting on their actions
"It's nothing, I care about you and that's all that matters" Adrian said as he held Kaitlyn's hands. He looked straight into her eyes and Kaitlyn could see his true feelings but she doesn't think she could ever feel for this cassanova. "I just want to be close to you, Kaitlyn" He added
"It's fine Adrian, I already accepted your friendship, let's get back to class" Ske said rising to her feet and leading the way to class
"I know, just saying it for record purpose" Adrian said as he followed her.

Liam and Jocelyn remained silent for a while after they reached an empty walkway. Liam broke the silence
"So, what exactly happened?" Liam asked
"Stacey just bumped on us while we were eating and started saying annoying things about Ivy and Ryan and I think she is mistaken because I don't think Ivy is with Ryan, before the twinkle of an eye, she had slapped Ivy and they started fighting. Kaitlyn and I tried to separate them but Juliana and Catherine added to it, they held Ivy so she could be beaten by Stacey so we had to pounce on them too, you don't expect us to look away right?" Jocelyn explained
"I see, it's good to fight for your friend, and just for correction sake, Ivy is with Ryan" Liam replied
"Really! I didn't know, so Ivy kept such away from me" Jocelyn said feeling disappointed. "And I was there fighting like she was wrongly accused"
"No, it's not that, it all just started last week so she might have not gotten time to tell you" Liam tried to calm her down
"There is no excuse for her" Jocelyn said as she started walking, heading towards class
"You have to calm down, I'm sorry I broke the news to you, I shouldn't have" Liam apologized
"You shouldn't be, you did the right thing, it's fine I won't have it hot with her and I won't let her know you told me, I know that is what you are avoiding" Jocelyn said as she realized Liam's fear
"Okay dear" Liam said, heaving a sigh of relief. He detests when his name is mentioned in things like that. "And I hope you weren't hurt anywhere" He added since there was no sign of any bruise on her.
"I'm fine, I didn't get hurt, Catherine is no match for me" she replied. They both laughed and headed to class.
***********
Stacey paced up and down the music studio, she couldn't think of another place to hide her shame. Juliana and Catherine tried to calm her down
"Easy on girl, you should calm down, at least you had your pound of flesh on her and the message was passed" Catherine said wiping off her face with a wet wipe. She had gotten a good beating from Jocelyn, she never believed Jocelyn could beat her.
"Don't patronize me!!!" Stacey yelled banging her folded fist on table. "Ivy has bitten more than she can chew, she shouldn't have dared to humiliate me!" she thundered
