Chapter 18
Leigh-Ann’s POV
I sat restlessly in the class and for the first time, I
felt like being with someone I knew and that person is Stiles.
Once it was lunch hour, I wanted to leave the class when the girl who sat beside me called out to me. She told me her name was Ariana.
“Hey, I could um… show you around if you want,” She said and searched my face “Then maybe we can grab something for lunch afterward”
“I… seriously don’t mind” I replied not having a choice. Of course, I really needed company in the meantime.
We walked around as she showed me various places. She also looked kind of posh like other girls I saw hanging around but she was nice. An attitude others didn’t possess.
We walked past a corner that was filled with boys and girls, kissing. I could even perceive the smell of marijuana and cocaine. That stinky scrap. Why would students be with it?
“And… we’ve also got the Special study, a place which we never had and which is created for the K-Brothers. You know them, right?”
Those guys are staying in a Special and different classroom but why? “They’ve got everything up there and to tell you, there’s no need for them to come out here”
We arrived at the place where the Special study was but could hardly see through as it was covered up by students. I could even see each of their guards at different points outside the building.
“They are so handsome and we’re goddamn lucky to have them here but you know what, I am signing to join the Special study right away,” She said and chuckled but I didn’t find that funny.
“You… you can?” I managed to ask.
“Of course. I heard it takes a lot though. The most intelligent and um… the richest and most powerful” She gushed with so much enthusiasm.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
Blah blah blah, they were all boring talks, and to think all of them were dying for those grumpy and heartless guys made me sick to my stomach.
Every corner we entered sang their names. Some even recited them like poems and I wished I could block my ears from hearing about them.
“Hello!” Ariana called out and waved at my face “You don’t look interested and you’re the only one acting that way towards the Brothers. Don’t you know them?”
I wanted to say that I even lived with them but the thought of Kael showing up to announce I was his maid made me keep shut.
“I… I don’t really know them” I answered dryly and watched her scoff “Yeah, I do know them but who cares. Not that they care if we worship them like gods. They’re just like puny gods”
“Holy Zeus Leigh! You wouldn’t dare say that about them” She exclaimed and began talking and lecturing. Holy Lord! She really did speak like a pro. Like she had lived with them or known them all her life.
“It is rumored the first, who is named Kyler doesn’t love. I mean, he hasn’t been seen with any girl and some concludes he’s gay, can you believe that? I heard he’s the coldest too and doesn’t smile.”
Oh, mercies!
“Kash has got a girlfriend which everyone knows of, her name is Lorna. They’re dating and oh dear, she’s so perfect. She’s one of the highest-paid models and daughter of a multi-Millionaire, she’s indeed an angel”
I chuckled inwards and tried not to roll my eyes. Is she talking about the girl who broke Kash’s heart and turned him into a drunk who almost killed himself? Uh-Oh! I think she’s outdated here in Kash’s story.
“And Kenver, he’s always a playboy and always with many girls, none of which is recorded as his girlfriend” That devil forsaken man whore. “But I think he’s good anyway but no one is better than my Kael”
She hugged herself and I scoffed. Her Kael? “He’s sooo handsome, gosh, you’ve gotta see his pictures. He’s heavenly”
I rolled my eyes, whatever.
He’s heavenly hellish. If only everyone knew that then I guess the world would be a better place. We finally arrived at the cafeteria which was crowded with lots of students.
“Come on, let’s get lunch,” She said and walked off but I paused to look around. How can I get lunch when I’ve got no cash on me?
“Aren’t you coming?” Ariana asked then smiled “Come on, you don’t have to pay double times. Everything got paid for in our fees”
Oh really? My face beamed with smiles as I followed her to the buffet stand. Kael is so good to have registered I and Stiles here. Am sure our salary isn’t one-third of the fees.
There were lots of meals lined from the beginning of the stand till the end which was down the end of the hall and I didn’t know which one to pick from cause they were all making my mouth watery.
Ariana picked a tray and a plate and I did the same. She went ahead to pick whatever she wanted and then settled with a glass of juice.
“I love CamBridge so much, It’s the best,” She said once we had settled down. Someone caught my attention and it was the handsome guy who had asked me to unwrap the paper. It was Daggers and he was staring at me.
I also noticed he sat in the middle of the table along with other guys and girls who wore black. The girl who wore bomb shots and boots sat beside him and was glaring hard at me. What are these people?
“Um… Ariana… what’s a um… bleeding dagger?” I was forced to ask. Ariana looked around first before she turned to respond.
“It’s a gang here in school. We have the Bleeding Daggers and the Black Ass Gang. Those are the top gangs here to which every student must belong to. I belong to the Black Ass Gang though” She concluded and ate her rice balls.
The gang stuff sounded strange to me but to Ariana, I felt she was okay with it. Why would there be a goddamn gang in school?
So how did they choose me?”
“I dunno how they do it but maybe they found out you were a newbie. Relax. Every Freshman is into it and trust me, it’s fun” She answered with a smile. I shrugged off the thoughts and tried to eat.
“You weren’t cool during your introduction that’s why you were booed at. They just wanted to check out your spirit. If you’re a calm type or bookworm or crazy” She explained and I mouthed an “Oh”
“But trust me, you’re really beautiful, especially with your ash hair and silver eyes. That’s why the leader of the Bleeding Daggers asked for you to be his girlfriend. I heard he does that each time there’s a pretty newbie in the gang”
I looked behind and saw him kissing the girl on black leather bomb shorts. Like hell. Weren’t they supposed to keep such acts private?
“That’s one of his women and she’s his favorite so if you say yes to him, you’ll join the cue and that doesn’t come without a fight with his Favorite woman,” Ariana said and chuckled “She’s Just always scared someone else might be more than her and Daggers will push her aside”
The fuck, it really sounded hilarious and crazy. Students started screaming and rushing in a particular direction. “It’s one of the K-Brothers!” They exclaimed.
One of the what?!? Before I could turn my face, Ariana was nowhere to be found. She had joined in the chase.
I picked up my tray and stood to leave. “Leigh” Someone called out. My heart gave a mighty leap as I froze at the spot.
I know that voice, it belonged to one of the Brothers and the one that has been tormenting me for weeks now. The tension in the hall seemed to have eased the moment he called me.
I turned at once to see him with Stiles and his guard behind him. The whole student stood behind staring and murmuring. Am sure they were all wondering what he was doing here and who he was looking for.
Kael started walking toward me while I dropped the tray of food on the table close to me. Gosh, I didn’t even get the chance to eat my lunch.
He came to stand an inch from me with both hands on his pocket then in a low cold tone he said. “You haven’t served me lunch, dumb sack. Did you think I wouldn’t find you easily with your ash hair?”
