7PM.
A RESTAURANT.
As usual, Giselle was on her tomboy dress but the only different is that she added an hairpin to her hair, making her look beautiful and not handsome in her boyish outfit.
She came down from her bike.
“You kept me waiting berry”Dante whispered to her and she jumped in fright. “You scared the $h|t out of me!”she yelled and he smiled.
“You look cute”
“Do you ever say sorry”she scoffed, putting her helmet in place.
“No”he smiled and she scoffed.
“Let’s go”she began walking while he followed, smiling.
They got into the restaurant but no single customer was in sight. Obviously, he used his influence to do it.
He pulled out a chair for her and she sat down, not without frowning which made him chuckle before sitting.
“So you bought the restaurant for tonight?”she said and he nodded, maintaining the smile.
“Enough for someone rich, I love it”she finally smiled and that widen his smile.
Two servers came to them.
“I’ll have spaghetti sauce”Giselle said.
“Same”he said.
“You’re trying to make me notice you, what you’re thinking won’t happen”she said.
“Then if it does?”he smirked.
“It can’t since I’m Giselle, so stop now so you won’t get hurt”she said but he smiled.
“After eating, let’s get to know about our likes and dislikes”he said and she shaked her head frustratingly but he smiled.
Their food was brought so they started eating, talking also at same time.

NEXT DAY.
HVKC CLASS.
Jasper was already in class when Giselle walked in. She didn’t want screams today so that’s why she’s early.
She ignored Jasper stares as she walked to her seat but he stood up, going to her.
“I should just leave the class”she muttered.
“We’re having exam today, can I have your note?”he asked and she chuckled before looking at him again, but she laughed this time around.
“You wanna see my note today when we’re writing the exam uhn? Too funny”
“I’m quick at memorizing things”he said and she nodded, handling him her note.
“That’s just few tips on the topics, I have the notes on my laptop at home”she said and he nodded, standing up.
“No thanks?”she asked.
“I don’t say thanks”he said.
“You’re welcome”she said and faced her phone and he smiled but it disappeared immediately.
Daisy walked into the class with panic.
“Have you seen Wyatt?”she asked Jasper but he shaked his head and she ran out.
*Come to the rooftop*Giselle read on her phone and she smiled. It’s from Axel.
*
Axel was with a box of chocolate, pacing around and she smiled, seeing him like that.
“Is that for me?”she walked to him and took it.
“Wait you!”
“Chocolate? Sweet”she smiled, putting one in her mouth. Walking to the edge of the rooftop while he followed.
“You’re ready for today’s exam?”she asked and he nodded. The morning breeze blowing nicely.
“What position do you think you’ll go for?”she asked.
“Maybe second”he said.
“Why?”
“Dante is brilliant, so I’m not sure I’ll be able to beat that”he said.
“If I come first, what will you gift me?”she asked.
“First? Dante…..”
“What will you gift me?”she said again.
“I’ll have the sixpack before then”he said.
“So?”
“You can see it”he said and she smirked.
“And?”
“And?”he also asked.
“Maybe touch”she winked, moving away.
“You’re more than I think”he followed.
“Off course, you don’t know more about me”she smiled as she sat down on the ground.
“I wanna know”he sat beside her.
“Ah!”she said, holding a piece of chocolate which he did but she put it in her mouth.
“Seriously?”he laughed.
“I’m stingy”she stuck out her tongue.
“You act like a baby”he said.
“I’m one”she said, putting in another chocolate in her mouth.
“You’ve never thought of letting your hair grow more?”he asked.
“Maybe no”she said.
“You should, I wanna know how you’d look”he said.
“I can put on wig”she said.
“No, your hair”he said and she nodded.
“I’ll put it in my future list”she winked.
“Dante, is he treating you right?”he asked and she smiled.
“You’re not my boyfriend to worry”she said.
“I want to be”he said.
“Hmm, should I blush?”she held her face, looking cute while her hair fell.
“You should”he said and she laughed at his expression.
“Wanna go on a ride with me tonight?”she asked.
“Me?”
“Yes, I’ll come pick you”she stood up and he did also.
“I’ll be ready”he said as she walked away but she stopped and walked to him.
“Have a bite”she said, putting a piece of chocolate in-between her lips.
“I should….?”he asked and she nodded.
“No no”he said and she turned.
“Fine”he said and she faced him back. Axel moved closer, closing his eyes in the process, Giselle smiled, and just as his lips almost meet the chocolate, Giselle took it in so his lips fell on hers. He quickly opened his eyes and moved back.
“See ya!”Giselle waved and walked away smiling.

HVKC CLASS.
11AM.
The morning exam was over and it’s just few minutes to lunch time so they’re in class.
“Wyatt”Daisy walked to him but he ignored her as he focused on pressing his phone.
“We need to talk”she said again but he ignored her.
“You can’t keep ignoring me!”she said.
“What’s it now? Couples fight?”Tess said.
“Wyatt!!!”she shouted.
“Stop! Stop it! I seriously don’t wanna hear your explanation okay!”Wyatt shouted and she started crying.
“I’m sorry, I was out of my mind”she said, crying.
“Stop the act Daisy, I don’t wanna face you right now, you look disgusting!”he said and walked out of the class.
“What’s wrong?”Tess went to Daisy but she pushed her off, running out of the class.
“He’s the one you’re close to, he needs you now”Giselle said to Dante.
“Right, but I was there for him last night”he said.
“What do you mean?”
“She cheat on him, had segz with another guy cause Wyatt isn’t ready for s*x so she did it with another guy and I caught her”he said.
“Wow, I never thought she would do that even if I’ve just known her for some days”Giselle said.
“Right, I would have bet my money on Maggie instead”he said.
“Hmm”
“Enough, let’s go eat”he said dragging her up.
**
GARDEN.
Wyatt came to the garden after leaving the class. He has known Daisy since childhood and he would say he has always liked her. But she doing this is just too much for him to take.
“Wyatt”Maureen sat beside him but he didn’t look at her.
“Why are you here? I went to your class to ask if you like what I got for you but didn’t see you”she said but he said nothing.
“Wyatt”she called and he turned to her with an angry expression.
“The face….. it’s scary….”she shuttered and he sighed. If it was someone else, she would have left him but she, she’s just too innocent.
“I like the phone case, now can you go?”he said but she shaked her head negatively.
“I mean it”he said.
“I won’t say anything”she said.
“Gosh”he ruffled his hair frustratingly but Maureen smiled.
*
CLOSING.
“Bye berry!”Dante screamed as Giselle drove off.
“Are you really just doing this to feel good or for fun?”Maggie came to him.
“My berry h@??s it when another girl is too close”he said and walked away.
“Giselle!”she groaned.
“Hey, let’s talk”Archie who’s resting on his car said.
“Say it here”Dante said.
“My cousin, what are you planning with her?”he asked.
“Why? Why do you care?”Dante smirked.
“Don’t try playing games, I won’t stand and watch”Archie said and began walking away.
“If you wanna fight, just bring it on!”Dante shouted but Archie didn’t stop.

NIGHT.
SWEET HOME ORPHANAGE.
Giselle’s bike pulled over and she came down, dialing Axel’s line.
“Hey, he left his phone”Sandra who picked said.
“To where?”she asked.
“I thought you both are together”
“No, I just came”she said.
“But we heard a bike sound and he went out to see if it’s you”Sandra said and Giselle hanged up.
She signed deeply before getting on her bike but the sound of laughter she heard made her come down.
She followed the sound, walking past the orphanage till she passed two more buildings before she saw some group of guys beating up someone.
“Stop!!”she shouted and they stopped but laughter followed.
“Boss we have a girl!”one said and the so called boss stood up, only for it to be…
“Dante?”she said in shock after seeing who they were beating. Axel.
“Giselle?”he muttered.
Giselle ran to Axel and helped him up.
“I thought it was over!!!”she shouted.
“Giselle it’s……”
“I should have known better you’re nothing but a big time bully who can’t ever change! I h@?? you!”she shouted as she walked away with Axel.
“I saw you both on the rooftop and I got mad so I did this”Dante said, following her but she left Axel and punch Dante hard.
“Bastard!”
