Chapter 8 - Frayed'

Chapter 9:

The student around gathered together to watch the sister fight that's ongoing with an unamused look, with the look on their facesone could know that these fight between the sisters are pretty normal and they were accustomed to it.

Most of the students gathered are drooling on the Black devil boys (Benito and his friend's). No one knows why they call them selves that but they didn't have a problem with that as long as they can fist their eyes on their manly figure while Alessandro and kai had a frown on Benito kept a blank face is not like they ever listen during their fight.

The shocking gasp coming from the students as they watch the only person that has ever tried separating them both in the past three years.

*The fuck!!!

*Oh my...only Benito ever separated them before by asking Sophie to slap Lauren back.

*(... Laughs...) He was truly bad at mediating but it resolved the fight.

*When he is the main reason for the fight.

*Our dancer and the Italian playboy have only siblings bond in common... She is only pressing the queen's button.

*Who wouldn't like him when he is so hot...too bad he hates being committed in a relationship.

The comment went on with everyone saying their opinions. Lauren turn to meet the icy gaze of a deep brown fox-like eyes giving of killing intent body emanating a deadly aura making her froze.

"Let...go...of...me" Lauren stuttered in a slow whisper, she felt small for the first time from a girl like her. Her instinct says run cause she knows with this kind of rage killing her will be a peace of cake but her pride and ego got the better of her making her take in some breath before releasing them, she won't be able to bear these disgrace if she backs down without a fight.

"Free me you bitch!" she yells but that only earned her a sardonic chuckle from Zoë.

"What do you want from me" Lauren raised her chin up meeting her icy gaze.

"Let's make this simple I'm not here for your cat fight...one of my numerous red flags is lack of patience babycakes...it doesn't run in my blood and you are happened to fall prey to my paying back a favour list." Zoë said and released her hand harshly making her wince in pain before raising a silver bracelet smirking.

**flashback(female restroom)

She tapped on the door repeatedly before realising its locked from outside and her flushed face from reminiscing childhood hood trauma was replaced with a sadist smile and a kick was all it take to open it.

"Wasn't even thrilling" she frowned and made to leave when she saw the bracelet, she picked it up luckily she has a habit of looking thoroughly at her acquaintance. "You messed with the wrong bitch babycakes".

**End of flashback **

"My bracelet...thief where did you get them" Lauren claimed. Zoë expression turned bored so she threw it on the ground. "If it's useful why didn't you keep it" she asked before bending low and brought out the hammer she placed in her back landing it on the glassy part completely destroying it, She winked and walked away leisurely, Sophie quickly ran after her.

Benito made to move but Lauren moved to his front hugging him, he only creased his brows with a frown but he didn't make any attempt to hug her back, he is just doing this for old time sake while the other student dissipate.

Lauren, Alessandro, kai and Benito grew up together they were childhood friends, he is fully aware of her feelings but he doesn't feel the same way not after what she did. He sighs his not ready to think to the part he ran away from home for three years only his friends and stepdad knows what happened to him.

It hurts seeing she hasn't moved on but he already did that 9years ago.

"Why this childish act...Emily please take her along" Benito said to Emiliano, she eyed him before walking off with layla following behind.

"Cowards" Abella muttered taking Lauren from Benito then winked at Alessandro who only gave her a flirty grin in reply before she left.

"They are all nuts" Kai muttered.

"You know I'm still here" Tara said coequettishly but he only frowned. "Are you still annoyed that I seduced your bestie" she batted her lashes.

"I never expected a faithful whore" Kai said blankly and she grinned widely.

"Let's go goodbye guys" Tara said and pulled Kai along.

"She's crazy, if only she knew no he doesn't even as much as get infantuated with her" Alessandro said.

"He isn't thought he was obsessed" Benito raised his brows.

"Yeah but not with her...I'll tell you if you get a girlfriend" Alessandro smirked.

"Then stick with it" He said and walked away while Alessandro winked at the passing girl making her blush hard with all shades of red. He beckoned on her to come closer, he sized her up before giving her a 'not bad' look then hooked his hand around her waist leaving with her.

Zoë came out to meet Sophie still resting where she met her four hours ago then her brows creasedv to a deep frown, she ignored her and made her way to the kitchen.

"Thanks for earlier" Sophie blurted. Zoë gave her a confused look "you saved my ass...i wasn't planning on ever raising my hands to her back."

"That's not my business and for the record I only showed her a tip of messing with me" Zoë shrugged.

"You said paying back a favour list...what's that for" Sophie asked, Zoë took the space beside Sophie on the couch. "Listen I have been out my whole life without anyone who gave a damn mercy...I'm no Saint to forgive...that shit is tiring" Sophie raised her mouth to talk "Don't annoy me with question I'm still trying to keep my cool."Zoë stood up and made to go to her room.

"Anyways I had a text from home and I need to be there so you have to find your way to school without me tomorrow." Sophie said, Zoë nodded and proceeded to her room.

"Can't you ask were I stay" Sophie asked making Zoë turn in her step.

"You aren't Italian so you are going to catch a flight" Zoë shrugged it off.

"you are quite a smart pant,I'm actually a French woman" Sophie said as she forced her self to smile. "What's wrong" Zoë asked with a hit of concern.

"It's just anytime I think of the fact that I don't look Italian but French I can't help but feel the urge to know who my father is...Sadly he isn't aware of my existence and I lost my mom at thirteen I just feel like a bad luck...you are like the sister I always wanted even though you try acting cold it only shows your protective side and you only protect those you don't want to loose so I'm an hundred percent sure you love me just the way I do."

"Shut the fuck you no bad luck I am plus I don't do girls it's ewww if I love you" Zoë said while squeezing her face in a rather dramatic way.

"(...Laughs...)Stop that... Besties?" Sophie said in a rather questioning tone making her blink, she has never had a friend because no of them stayed and the one she loved left her without a backward glance. She sighed then took a deep breath before flashing a small grin at her as her eyes lit up. "Really" Sophie asked and she nodded then she jumped into her embrace.

"You've got a soft body" Sophie said still grinning but Zoë frowned and walked away.

Benito is in the balcony smoking lostly that he didn't notice Alessandro and Kai entrance.

"You good" Alessandro asked patting his shoulder. He looked at them and smiled before nodding and facing the street you could see liveliness beneath as people walls around.

He and his friends actually own a joint mansion were they live and host party three days a week without disturbance from the disciplinarian of the college.

"Party tonight, you down for it...you've been keeping descent for a while" Alessandro teased.

"Fuck off...get the weeds it's party till ten" Benito announced and they all grin. He gets Sophie message and smiled secretly.

"Sophs got trouble with Lauren so she won't attend" Benito said.

"so..."Kai asked and they gave him knowing smile.

"You are both sick" Kai muttered and walked out.
