“What the… F” Genova gasped at the scene.
Izzy’s eyes almost left their sockets as she stared at Craig who’s underneath her.
“What a lovely scene” Polly smiled.
“Whoa whoa, where’s my phone I need to snap this” Trinidad said.
Quincy looked at Bae and saw the hurtful look on her face.
Izzy stood quickly and Craig did same.
He rushed out of the ward immediately and Genova followed him.
” Polly I’ll come see you after our classes, girls I’ll be in my way” Bae said and left the ward.
” She likes Craig” Polly said.
Izzy left the ward immediately.
” I think Izzy likes Craig too” Trinidad said.
“How?” Quincy asked.
“Didn’t you see her cheeks just now, she obviously blushed after she stood from Craig” Polly said.
” I don’t want this kind of thing, love triangles ruins friendships” Quincy said.
” I know right?, But it’s up to Craig, to settle this amicably, he shouldn’t date anyone of them” Trinidad said and Polly smirked.
“What’s amicable in that?, Idiot” Polly rolled her eyes.
“Try to be nice with words Anna” Trinidad pouted.
“You know nothing about love, not choosing one of them will make things worse, he should choose one then we’ll know how the console the other” Polly said.
” Never knew you’re a love adviser” Trinidad rolled eyes.
” I should go find Izzy” Quincy said.
“Let’s go together, then we can go to school after finding her” Trinidad said.
” Oh come on Trinidad, you haven’t taken your bath” Polly said.
” Does it matter?, no one is looking at me” Trinidad winked.
” Polly scrunched up her face, fanning her nose with her hand.
” I can’t breath in this unpleasant, cruel, diabolical, wicked smell oozing from you Trinidad, get out” she said.
” Jeez” Quincy laughed.
“My smell is pretty expensive” Trinidad winked.
“I still don’t understand why a girl will decide not to bath to class” Polly said.
” It’s my body, not yours” Trinidad said and turned to the door, meeting Red.
She froze and stood on her spot.
“Re..d” she said awkwardly.
“Hey…. Trini” he waved.
Polly giggled loudly and Quincy laughed slowly.
“Look how she’s acting in front of him” Polly whispered to Quincy.
” She looks like thief caught in the act” Quincy said.
“Exactly” Polly laughed.
” Since when did you get here?” Trinidad asked.
“Since you started saying you won’t bath to class” Red said and Trinidad licked her lower lip in embarrassment.
“jeez!” She said and rushed out of the ward.
Quincy followed and Red smiled, facing Polly.
“How are you feeling now?” He asked.
“I have the best friends one could ever ask, they’re part of why I recovered quickly” she smiled, looking at him.
Now that she’s staring at him, he looks more handsome that she cursed herself secretly for behaving like a Ɓîtçh when he was still into her.
“I came to say hi, and congrats on sending the devils to jail” he smiled.
” Thanks…” She said.
” I’ll be on my way” he said and she nodded as he started leaving.
” Red” she called.
” Yes?” He looked back.
” I’m sorry” she said.
He kept looking at her.
“For playing with your feelings despite all you did to have me, for hurting you, I’m sorry” she said.
Red smiled and came closer.
He touched her hair and she smiled, looking at him.
“It’s fine, not like you told me to do all those things anyways,I did them cos I was in love” he said.
Polly sighed.
” We can still talk as friends right?” she asked.
” Of course” he replied.
” See ya!” She smiled and he returned it before leaving the ward.
Polly stopped her tears from falling.
She blinked them back and sniffed.
“I lost you too” she muttered.

GENOVA’S CAR**
“I’m d@mn confused I can’t even think and my head is just in disarray and..and…I dunno…” Craig said confusedly.
“Calm down dude, calm down and take both of them off your head” Genova said.
Craig looked at him.
” Try all your possible best to ignore both of them, try not to think about any of them and trust me you’ll know what you want, you’ll surely miss one of them” Genova said.
” Will it work?” Craig asked.
” Trust me, try it” Genova said.
” And about last night, I got to know my true story” he continued.
” Why weren’t you picking your calls, you got me worried” Craig said.
” Reece is not my twin” he said.
” Look I love jokes and I’m a fan of comics but….
“Hanna isn’t my mum” Genova interrupted.
“boraguyo?” Craig said shockingly.

MAYBELLINE COLLEGE PARK**
“If you talk again, I’ll have to throw you out of the window” Trinidad said as Kimberly brought the car to an halt .
” I’m saying I don’t feel anything for Craig” Izzy said.
” Stop talking” Trinidad said.
“It’s useless denying, you have feelings for Craig” Quincy said as they came out of the car.
” Bae loves him too” Izzy said slowly.
” We know” Trinidad and Quincy chorused.
“So I can’t admit…. It started since he kissed me tipsily on the orientation day” Izzy said.
Quincy patted her.
” You and Bae should talk it out, you both are adults” she said.
They left for class and met Bae sitting already.
They settled down and Genova came in with Craig almost immediately.
After the class, the lecturer made an announcement.
“Sudden BT competition tommorow at hankuk University, five of you guys will have to go represent us” he announced.
” Competition tommorow and we’re just knowing about it today?, How ridiculous” Craig said.
” You don’t know the meaning of sudden? ” Genova replied.
” How are we supposed to prepare before tomorrow” Craig said.
” Craig Lee” the lecturer called.
” That’s not my name right?” Craig said.
“Is there another Craig Lee in here?” Genova giggled.
“Izzy Roberts”
“Rihanna Norbert”
“Linabae Jang”
“Genova Alejandro”
“You all will have to represent Maybelline college tommorow at hankuk, the competition starts by 12pm prompt, the class rep should come for what you guys will read” the lecturer further said and left.
Quincy followed.
” Isn’t this too cruel?” Craig said.
“Just say you’re lazy” Genova said.
“No sweetheart you won’t understand, I’ll have to leave my sweet sleep and study all night, what other name befits that if not wickedness” Craig said.
” I need to stroll” Genova stood and left the class.
” Wait for me!” Craig ran after him.
” We need to talk Izzy” Bae said beside Izzy.
Izzy looked at her and stood.
They left class and went to an empty one.
“I’m sorry for lying to you” Izzy said.
“It’s ok, I understand you don’t wanna hurt me” Bae replied.
” I’ll try and stop loving him” Izzy said.
“No I don’t support that, ok we both love him but we don’t know who he loves between us,you giving up won’t be fair, let’s continue loving him though one of us must get hurt” Bae said.
“What do you mean?”
” When he finally chooses one of us, the other will get hurt, but promise me that wh@ťěver happens, whoever he chooses, we won’t stop being friends” Bae said.
” Sure, I promise” Izzy replied.
” Should we both give him a break?, Let’s give him space, he’ll make his choice” Bae said.
Izzy nodded and they hugged.
” I love you” Bae said and Izzy cackled.
“I’m not Craig” she said.
” Don’t be silly” Bae said.
“I love you” Izzy said.

After disturbing the hell out of Genova, Craig finally left him for the library.
Genova finally had time to rest.
He got his phone and was about to text his pink when Reece came in.
“Bastard, I’m just glad that we’re not twins, seriously” Reece said.
” You won’t know how glad I am too” Genova smiled.
” I can’t wait to announce it to the whole world after the party” he said.
” Then we’ll split, right?, There’ll be nothing like SUGAR BOYS anymore after the collaboration with TXT” Genova said and Reece hesitated before answering.
“Yeah….yes, even better” he said.
Genova smiled and made to go out but Reece held him back.
“Don’t step foot into the mansion again” he said.
“I think the word DAFT was created because of you, who told you I’m gonna step into it again, I thought I forgot my songbook there but luckily it’s in my car, what else should I go there to take” Genova said.
” You just called me daft” Reece said.
” Do you need an interpreter?” Genova replied and Reece made to slap him but he held his hand, bringing it down.
“Do you have wrinkles on your brain?, You really think I’d let you slap the face my pink cherishes so much?, Go slap your mother….baby singer” Genova said and threw off his hand before leaving the place, meeting Quincy in front it.
“Genny I’ve been….
” Come with me” he interrupted and took her hand to the rooftop.
They got there and he hugged her first.
“Your heart is beating so rapidly” she said.
“Same as yours” he replied.
“It happens anytime I’m with you or think of you” she said.
” Same here” he smiled, breaking it.
“Who were you talking with?” She asked.
“Reece, he tried to intimidate and make me look stupid but I made it the other way round” he replied.
“Like quid pro quo?” She said.
” What’s quid pro quo?” He asked, removing her glasses to caress her cheeks.
“Give and take” she smiled.
“Whoa something new but babe, not entirely give and take” he replied.
” Ok so far you had the upper hand, I’m cool, did you start studying the book already? ” She asked.
” No, I’ll read it all night, Maybelline college must win tommorow” he smiled
” I’m wondering why all.the representatives were chosen from our department” she said, tracing his brows as usual.
” Because our department has the brightest students, take it or kiss me” he replied and she laughed.
He held her face and kissed her lightly.
She smiled cutely
“I like it when you smile but I love it when I’m the reason” he said and she smiled wider.
He hugged her dearly, stroking her hair.
“Will you follow me to shop for my new home after the last class?” He asked.
” Sure sunshine” she replied, hugging him tighter.
