{A BADDIE?}
~WHITE MANSION~
Rose buried her face in Vince's chest as he led her out of the hall, her tears dampened his shirt in the process.
They soon got outside but she still clung untp him tightly like a baby not wanting to come down from his arms but he finally put her down.
He took her hand checking out the place Beryl had stepped on earlier. He blew air on it causing butterflies to dance in her stomach. She bit her bottom lips lightly enjoying how it feels on her skin.
"Does it hurts?" He inquired looking deep into her eyes, his face showed nothing but concern and that made her stomach tingle even more.
"I'm fine" She replied with a light smile
"Are you doing to be this way? Do you enjoy how you are being treated? You should learn to stand up for yourself sometimes!" Vince said more like scolded making her smile even more. Just the thought that he cares about her made her happy.
"I'm fine really" She said in a low voice palming her face with her hand trying to hide her blush but that annoyed him even more.
He ran his hand through his hair
"Have you always been like this? Have you always been this weak and feeble? A crybaby? Of what help is all of these childish attitude to you? You should stop all of these shitty acts of yours and learn to stand up for yourself instead of being tossed around like a you" He raised his voice.
Rose stared at him for a while trying to control her emotions but she couldn't help it and tears started rolling down her cheeks.
"And you are doing it again? Why the tears though" He snapped making her look up. She gave him a cute puppy eyes and that made him grunt out loudly.
He was about talking but Bluey appeared.
"Rose....are you okay?" He said taking her both hands and checking her out.
"I'm fine" She answered taking her hand from his as she was uncomfortable with his touch.
"I'll take you home if you don't mind" He said
"Erm.....
She wanted to object but he was already dragging her along with him. Bluey turned back and shot a glare at Vince.
*****
Twinkle gulped on his drink and he kept staring at the direction Vince took.
"If only I was faster, I would had been the one to carry her in my arms" He thought.
He suddenly hit his head
"What the hell are you thinking?" He slapped his forehead
"It's not like I care anyways" He added breathing aloud
"You don't care about what?" Alexander said in a whisper directly in his ears making him flinch.
"You should stop acting this way if you don't want me to unfriend you" Twinkle warned but Alex just bursted into laughter.
"Are you angry about that or you are looking to someone to transfer your aggression on? You should have been faster in getting to her" Alex said
"Can you just stop talking!?" Twinkle snapped standing up. He went to the dance floor where some girl were busy dancing and he grabbed one by her waist, he said a few words to her and in no time they were kissing already.
That's Twinkle for you; no one can ever resist his charm, his words are enough to melt any lady cold heart and then his looks, damn! Enough to make thousands of girls strip right in front of him. He always have his way around ladies.
Girls of Maybell College even take numbers to spend the night with him. And one more thing, he never sleeps with a lady twice except from Beryl and that's the main reason why she is considered lucky among the girls.
Twinkle grabbed the lady b**bs in his arms and he gave them a hard squeeze making her throw her head backwards as the pleasure was too much for her to bear.
He started leading her away from the dance floor to continue with their business. Beryl just watched them in anger trying to hold herself from going to them. Despite being close to Twinkle, he still had one rule....*don't interrupt me whenever I am hitting on someone* and she knew better than not to break that.

~GRACIE ORPHANAGE ~
Bluey stopped his car right in front of orphanage, he unlocked the door to her.
"Hope I didn't ruin your party in any way? They'll probably be looking for you right now" Rose mumbled
"You are more important than the party" He responded giving her that smoky look. Rose cleared her throat breaking the gaze. She opened the door and meant to leave but he held her hand holding her back
She casted a questioning look at him
"Uhm... sorry"He apologized letting go of her. She wasted no time before getting down from the car
"What were you thinking of doing?" He scolded himself palming his face
"Whichever way.... I'll surely get you Rose" He added before igniting the car engine and he drove off
*****
Rose opened the door stealthily trying not to make any noise. Nuella was on the study table with a book in front of her but she was fast asleep already; that's Nuella, she finds it difficult to read and she falls asleep anytime she reads and she is also a light sleeper too.
She snapped her eyes opened as soon as Rose entered the room.
"You are back early"She mumbled sleepily stretching her arms. She sighted the stains on the dress and that made her stand up immediately. She walked closer to examine it
"What is this stain?"
"It's all my fault, I caused wine to pour on the dress" Rose mumbled playing with her nails
"I'm sure that you can't take wine because you are not the type to drink ..... did someone pour it on you? What happened?" Nuella inquired with a raised eyebrow
"I stumbled on something and bumped into a waiter so the wine spilled on the dress" Rose bit her bottom lips as she finished talking
She just lied! She just lied and it was so believing!
"God,just forgive me this once" She said within taking a deep breathe.

~BK CONGLOMERATE●NEXT MORNING ~
Mr Jones watched the scene in the tablet with less interest; the school had actually forwarded the video of Beryl's bullying Rose to him with the intention of having him scold her or reprimand her.
Since BK Conglomerate is one of the biggest shareholder of Maybell College, it would be difficult to expell Beryl despite her unacceptable actions.
"Send a message to the school and I would personally discipline Beryl and also make sure that it does not happen again" He said pausing the video, he didn't even bother to watch it up to half.
"And also.... I would foot the bills of the medical expenses, so forward whatever you think would be enough for the.....
He suddenly stopped abruptly and grabbed the tablet. He stared at it quizzically and keenly then looked up to his manger
"Why does she looks so familiar...like I've seen her before. Those eyes..." he wondered aloud confusing the manager the more.
"Sir.... do you want me to look into her? I can get every detailed information about her" The manager suggested but he got no reply from Mr Jones who was lost in thoughts
He suddenly banged his fist on the table and his eyes sparkled in anger, fear and confusion
"No.....no.... it can't be! She can't possibly be the one! She should be dead" He said with his eyes blazing in furry

~MAYBELL COLLEGE~
Rose jogged down the hallway happily, her face was glowingmore than ever. Why? She actuallykept on thinking of Vince all through the night and she even dreamt of him.
"He's so cute" She giggled at the thought of him palming her flushed cheeks.
Fortunately, she sighted him just by his locker,he was getting something from it.
"Huh? Is locker is just opposite mine? Aren't we a match made from heaven" She said to herself going closer.
"I'll just use this opportunity to thank him for last night" She added
"Morning" She greeted with a smile as soon as she got to him. He turned to look at her briefly with a cold gaze before going back to what he was doing. His actions threw her off guard
"I just greeted you" She added in a low voice. His countenance alone as he turned to look at her brought down her high spirits
"And you can see clearly that I didn't want to answer" He retorted slamming his locker shut loudly and that got her blinking her lashes repeatedly
"Why are you getting angry? Did I offend you? I thought we were friends" She replied
Vince let out a loud scoff giving her a nasty look
"Friends? I can't be friends with a weakling and a cry baby" He said causing her to gasp. Her eyes were soon filled with tears and it appears like they would flow down her cheeks anytime soon.
"And you are removing those waters again, tsk...so annoying!" He said
He gave her one final look before leaving. Rose watched his back view and she could feel her heart shattering into pieces. The feeling is being rejected, didn't she just get turned down before she even proposed?
She held her bag tightly skipping down the hallway trying her best to hold back her tears, she was not going to cry in front of any one but instead look for a more secluded place to pour it all out.
She halted on her step as Beryl appeared from nowhere, she stayed right in front of Rose obstructing her movement. Rose moved to another side and Beryl did the same.
"Give her the bag" She said to Candy who was with her bag. Candy was more like her dog than a friend. She(Candy)did as she was told handing the back to Rose who collected it.
"Follow me" Beryl commanded flipping her hair backwards making sure it hits Rose's face.
As if motivated by something, Rose set out her leg. Beryl who didn't see it coming stumbled on it and fell down flat on the floor
"Oh my days!"
"Did the newbie just do that?"
"The Almighty Beryl is on the floor!"
"This is worth more than a thousand movies in a cinema!"
Rose stared blankly at Beryl who was still on the floor still shocked by the whole thing. And there, she dropped Beryl's bag making sure it hits Beryl's face.
Then Rose said the unimaginable,that no one would ever think of.
"I'm sorry, my hand slipped"Rose said with a badass smirk
The crowd all gasped in shock, no one was expecting that from crybaby Rose.
Twinkle who was just coming in and had seen the whole scene chuckled lightly.
"She's a baddie!"He remarked smacking his lips together
