SWIMMING HALL**
? Frankie Styles!
? Frankie Styles!
? Frankie Styles!
Almost everyone in the hall are screaming the same thing cos he’s leading, he has been leading since it started.
Cody is behind him, then Franco is in the third place, Drayton is the last in line.
“Cody I love you!!!!” Margo screamed out again, waving decorated confetti stick in the air.
“Cody!!!!!” Allyson screamed too, wishing he could just overtake Frankie and come first.
“Franco go!!!!” Ella and her friends are busy cheering for him, and he kept going faster.
Only the fatso friends of Drayton are screaming his name, and though he’s the last in line, their screams are the loudest cos of their thick husky voices.
“Frankie!!!!” Dooley and Micky screamed.
“Frankie!, Franco!” Simon shouted till his voice seized.
Immediately Beauty came in, she grabbed a confetti stick and started waving it.
“Senior Frankie!!!!” She screamed, and Frankie smiled in the pool as her tiny voice penetrated into his ears.
Amidst the many voices, his ears recognizes hers perfectly.
“Cody!!!” She screamed too, and Frankie stopped smiling, Cody smiled, hearing his name on her lips.
Daniel just drank the milkshake with him as he watched quietly.
They’ll get to the endpoint in two minutes from now, so everyone is trying to work harder.
The screams got louder than crazier, and Frankie started swimming lazily since he gave the others a lot of gaps already.
He was the first to get to the endpoint, and Franco almost met up with Cody but he wasn’t able to
Drayton came last, and his friends dropped their boards immediately.
He came out of the water furiously and pushed everyone he met on the way as he stormed out of the hall.
“Drayton Loser!, That’s his new name from now” Franco giggled.
“Bang!” Frankie laughed.
“Yes, bang!” Franco replied, joining in the laughter.
Cody came out of the water and walked to Beauty.
“You did great” she smiled.
“Really?” His eyes brightened.
“Of course, but seems you can never beat senior Frankie” she said.
“What if I promise to beat him in the sports festival?” Cody replied.
“Huh?”
“The festival is coming up soon, I’ll beat senior Frankie, and you have to go on another date with me if that happens” he said.
“Date?”
“Yes, I’ll break the record and beat him, then you’ll go out with me Beauty” he said.
“Beat him first, if you can” she replied, and he smiled.
“I promise you” he replied and pecked her before she could realize, then he walked out.
Beauty looked at Frankie and smiled at him, but he didn’t return it before he left the hall with Simon.
“Is he mad at me?” She muttered sadly.
Franco came out of the water last, and he met Daniel waiting beside the pool, looking at him as if to roast him and devour him on the spot.
“Daniel I can explain” he quickly said.
“Keep shut” Daniel replied, going closer… Franco stepped back.
“I swear it was a mistake, I didn’t punch you intentionally, I was…
Before he could finish, Daniel punched his face hard.
“Ouch!, Daniel!!” He screamed, holding his nose.
“I’m not done yet” Daniel replied and started coming for him again.
“I only punched you once!” Franco shouted.
“I’m giving you three dose” Daniel smirked and went after him at once, but Franco dashed out of the hall.
“Francophone!!!!” Daniel shouted, running after him.

THIRTY MINUTES LATER★ BROADCASTING ROOM**
“So who’s reading the news?” The chaperone asked, looking at all the broadcasters.
“Beauty should do it” Cody said.
“No a senior should go first” the chaperone replied.
“Frankie then!” Dooley replied, and Frankie’s eyes widened.
“No Dooley…no…
“Frankie Styles, step into the booth and read the news!” The chaperone ordered, and Beauty smiled as Frankie reluctantly entered the booth with the script.

SENIOR CLASS**
Everyone were already preparing to go home, backpacks are on the table already, the only thing they’re waiting for is the closing alarm.
“Frankie Styles on the news” Frankie’s voice suddenly spoke up from the class speaker, and everyone payed attention.
“The school’s sports festival that’s a yearly occurrence will come alive next week Friday….
? OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!
“In preparations for that, the school yard and all the spots for the sports activities have been taken care of, and on this week Friday, every student of Scott Hills high will get to know the team he or she belongs to. I hope you enjoy the rest of your days, bye!”
“I can’t f_cking wait!!, I want to be in team pink!, And I must run the relay race and bicycle!” Micky gushed happily.
“I should be in team pink too” Simon said, and they stuck hands.
“I prefer team white though” Franco said.
“Same here” Dooley said, and Franco smiled, looking at her.
The closing alarm finally sounded, and Dooley bent slightly to pick her bag, her hair covered her face and she flaunted it away.
Franco’s eyes turned to a loverboy’s that moment, and he was lost staring at her till she walked out of the class completely.
“Oh my heart!” He breathed, holding it.

7PM★ ALVAREZ BAKERIES**
The first person Axel saw when he came out of the bakery was Malia, she was standing beside her car, waiting for him.
She waved shortly and he smiled, but when he remembered how he hung up on her last night cos of her Ɲīpplë, he stopped smiling and just walked.
“I’m not going to the gas station tonight” he said, and she smiled largely.
“Then let’s go to a restaurant and get dinner” she said.
“Wait..no…
“I insist Axel” she interrupted and entered the car.
He sighed and entered with her, and she drove to a nearby restaurant.
They came out in the front of it and she finally hugged him.
“Finally got the nerves to do this” she said, and he smiled.
“You don’t have to be nervous around me, and… don’t ask for an hug before getting it” he replied, hugging her back.
“I just can’t help it Axel, I get nervous around you a lot, it’s ki||ing” she said, and he chuckled softly before breaking the hug.
They went in together, and he excused himself to visit the restroom immediately, so Malia found herself a seat.
She was about to sit and order when someone suddenly touched her @zz, that prompted her to look back quickly.
A perverted guy is standing behind her, looking at her lustfully, she didn’t ask any question before hitting her handbag on his face.
The metal in it scratched his face.
“Ɓîtçh!, Washed model!, How dare you!” He shouted, drawing much attention.
“And how dare you touch my @zz!” She shouted back.
“It was obviously a mistake!” He lied.
“I’m not blind and I know what I felt!, You knowingly touched me!” She said angrily, ready to slap him.
“You wanna send me to the hospital like you did to Jacqueline?, Do it!” He shouted, pushing her shoulder.
Somewhere in the restaurant, Jacqueline was watching happily, she actually sent the guy.
“Push my shoulder again” Malia said, and the guy was about to push it again when Axel appeared and grabbed his hand, twisting it hard.
“Arrggg!!” He winced, Axel twisted it more.
“Arrg!” He whimpered again.
Malia was smiling as he watched him fight for her.
“How dare you touch her, who the f_ck are you?” Axel said lividly, pushing him.
He fell on the table and eventually to the ground, holding his wrist in pains.
Axel kicked his face and his back landed on the floor, then he grabbed Malia’s hand
“Let’s get out of here Lia” he said and walked out with her.
Her eyes were on him till they got out of the restaurant, and immediately they got to her car, she pecked his cheek.
“Thanks” she said, and he leaned in, pecking her cheek too.
“Axel…
“No one will hurt you so far I’m present” he replied, pulling her face to himself.
“I love being with you” he whispered, and she smiled, darting her eyes to his lips.
“Me too” she whispered, and she started leaning in slowly.
Axel’s eyes remained open throughout, and he could feel his throat moving in anticipation as she kept leaning towards his lips…
Minutes started looking like forever, and when he couldn’t take it any longer, he slipped his right hand on her neck and pulled her closer, his eyes closed slowly as their lips met softly.
