MELODY HIGH SCHOOL - CHAPTER 49&50
Victoria quickly ended the call. “Uhmm, Lisa, you’re back from school. How… how was the journey?” Victoria stammered.
“What the heck, you should know I won’t buy that, mom! You better answer my question now,” Elisa yelled, and Victoria flinched.
“W… what question are you talking about?” Victoria stammered again.
“I will ask you this question again, mom, and I want a yes or no answer, okay? Who is Liam Campbell to me?” Elisa asked.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, you know your dad died a long time ago. Why are you busy asking me this question, huh?” Victoria said in a rush.
Elisa nodded slowly and walked up to the dining room. She pushed wh@??ver was on the table, then grabbed a glass cup and smashed it hard on the wall. “That’s not the answer to my question, ?îtçh! Just f-__-king answer the question, goddamnit!” Elisa yelled, and Victoria slapped her hard on the face.
“How dare you call me that, huh? I have been doing everything to make you live a better life, and now you have the guts to say this to my face, huh?” Victoria snapped.
“Then f-__-king tell me the truth,” Elisa yelled.
“Yes, yes, Liam Campbell is your dad,” Victoria yelled, and Elisa started laughing. “He is my dad? So that stupid Barbie girl is my step-sister. Isn’t that great news? You know what, tell me all,” Elisa said coldly.
Victoria explained everything to her.
“I don’t care about that ?îtçh Barbie. Now I don’t care if I have to ki|| that ?îtçh Daisy and Summer. Daisy has to die, mom. She feels on top of the world, mom. And my stupid step-sister Summer… it’s so unfortunate she has to die as well. She took my Ricky away from me. Barbie… uhmm… I will think about what to do with her. You will have to take me to dad. We have to hunt that coward Daisy,” Elisa said and walked away.
“Oh my goodness, is that Lisa?” Victoria muttered.

Daisy, Summer, and Barbie were all together in the room, an unlikely trio bound by circumstance. Summer broke the silence.
“What do you guys think about the people after Daisy and Dove being a bad person, also?”
Barbie rolled her eyes. “The last time I checked, you and I aren’t friends, Summer.”
Summer shot back, “I know I’ve been a bad person, but trust me, I’m a changed person.”
Barbie snorted. “Changed person because you have Ricky now? So lame.”
“It’s okay, Barbs. Summer is part of us now, and we all need to be working together, not fighting.”Daisy intervened,
Barbie relented, “Okay, fine.”
Summer nodded, “Thank you, Daisy, for giving me a chance.”
“Not a chance, Summer. I don’t trust you fully yet. You changed immediately you and Ricky started dating. It’s really lame.”Daisy’s expression turned stern
Summer nodded again, “I get it. I will win your trust. I promise.”
” Darren said we need to meet by 10 pm. This is just 7 pm.”Daisy said
“Yes, it’s so boring, and I’m so hungry right now.”I should go get us something to eat.”Barbie suggested
Daisy asked, “Where?”
“This is a big underground house. I’ll ask Darren. I’m sure there should be something here.”Barbie replied
As Barbie walked out of the room, Daisy muttered under her breath, “Glutton.”
“I’m sorry.”Summer apologized,
Daisy asked, “Why?”
“The way I used to make Ricky mine… I think it’s not right.”Summer explained
“No, you only made Ricky realize his true feelings. I don’t have any problem with it.”Daisy said .
” oh thanks. summer said simply.
” I should go see Iris, please excuse me. daisy said and walked out of the room.
“I have messed up. summer muttered.

Barbie walked downstairs, lost in thought, and accidentally bumped into Clayton. “Why don’t you watch where you’re going?” she muttered, her cheeks flushing.
Clayton smiled and replied, “It would be nice if you said sorry, you know.
“Why should I say sorry to you? You were the one not watching where you were going, Clay.”
Clayton’s eyes widened, and he took a step closer. “Clay? The last time I heard that name… oh, when was it? Ah yes, the last time we kissed.”
Barbie’s eyes darted away, and she gulped hard. “You… you’re just blabbering. I… I don’t have the strength to argue with you.”
Clayton gently pushed her back against the wall and pulled her close. “I didn’t say anything wrong, lousy girl. I was simply saying…
Barbie interrupted him, her voice barely above a whisper. “Let me go, Clay.”
Clayton’s eyes locked onto hers.
“I can’t let you go this time, Barbs. We should talk about this. I can’t take this silly fight and silence anymore.”
Barbie’s eyes searched his face, her voice trembling. “What do you mean?”
Clayton’s voice was husky, his words barely above a whisper. “I love you, Barbie.”
Barbie’s eyes widened, “You… you playboy… what are you talking about?”
Clayton closed his eyes and pulled her closer, his lips brushing against hers. He started kissing her slowly, and Barbie’s resistance melted away. She began kissing him back, her heart pounding in her chest.
Clayton paused for a moment and he stared into barbie’s eyes.
“I need a answer. Clayton muttered
” what answer. barbie said
“really you still want all this silly fight. Clayton said and nod. he tried to walk away
” I love you. barbie said and Clayton smirked.
“I love you ?ï?khead. barbie repeated
As the words hung in the air, Clayton’s face lit up with a radiant smile. He reached out, his fingers tracing the curves of her face, and pulled her close. Their lips met in a soft, gentle kiss, the spark between them igniting a flame of passion.
Clayton’s arms wrapped around her, holding her close, as he deepened the kiss. Barbie’s hands slid up his chest, her fingers tangling in his hair as she pulled him closer. The kiss was slow and sensual, their lips moving in perfect sync.
As they broke apart for a moment, Clayton’s eyes locked onto hers, his gaze filled with adoration. “I’ve wanted to tell you that for so long,” he whispered, his breath caressing her skin.
Barbie’s cheeks flushed, her voice barely above a whisper. “I’ve wanted to hear it for so long.”
Clayton’s lips brushed against hers once more, and they shared another soft, sweet kiss.

Daisy knocked on the door of Iris’s room slowly. Iris opened it,
“You don’t need to knock, Princess,” she said, taking Daisy’s hand. They walked inside together, Iris leading the way.
“I was waiting for you,” Iris said, “You’re wondering how I know you, aren’t you?”
Daisy nodded, her brow furrowed. “We’ve never met before, but you’ve been so kind to me. I can’t understand why.”
Iris smiled. “Darren’s told me all about you. You’re his childhood sweetheart.”
Daisy’s eyes widened. “Childhood sweetheart?”
Iris nodded. “Yes. And I know you’ve lost some of your memories. That’s why you don’t remember Darren.”
Daisy’s face scrunched up in thought. “Lost memories? That might explain the strange flashes I’ve been having.”
Iris’s eyes lit up. “Flashes? When did they start?”
“Since I met your weird brother,” Daisy replied, and Iris chuckled. “Yes, Darren can be… unusual. But I think spending time with him might help you regain your lost memories.”
“You’re right! I had a flash yesterday when I was with him. It was almost clear.”
Iris nodded “Then you should keep spending time with my brother. I’m sure you’ll remember everything soon.”
Daisy smiled, impressed. “You’re only six, but you talk like a grown-up lady.”
Iris grinned mischievously. “That’s because I’m a lady! Darren’s smart, and I learned everything from him. He knows how to fight too. You should learn that from him.”
“That’s a great excuse to spend time with him!”Daisy muttered
Iris nodded seriously. “But don’t just spend time with him, Princess. Learn how to fight so you can protect yourself.”
Daisy nodded, “I will. I promise.”
Iris smiled, “Good. It’s a must.”.
Okay my lady. Daisy muttered and they both laughed.

Elisa and Victoria entered the dark room, and Elisa coughed, her voice echoing off the walls. “Where’s Liam Campbell? This place is creepy and dark.” Suddenly, the lights flickered on, revealing Dove, Lovie, Tiger, and Liam.
Liam snapped, “Why did you bring her here so late at night, woman?”
Elisa smirked, “It’s nice meeting you too, Dad.”
Victoria rolled her eyes, “I tried to reason with her, but she insisted on coming.”
Liam muttered, “You can’t even control your useless daughter, foolish woman.”
Elisa laughed, “Foolish daughter? Why don’t you make me useful, Dad? Eliminate the useless ones, and I won’t let you down.” She picked up a gun and shot Lovie twice in the stomach. Lovie slumped to the floor, and Dove flinched.
Victoria screamed, “Elisa!” but Liam smirked,
“Don’t yell my name, woman. That Daisy girl stole everything from me, and I want to end her. This ?îtçh I just ki||ed was useless anyway.”
Elisa laughed maniacally, “She’s a burden. have showed you an example.”
Liam nodded, “Interesting, you have my blood in you. Your daughter’s not so useless after all.”
Victoria protested, “She just ki||ed someone, and you’re praising her?”
Liam shrugged, “She ki||ed someone I don’t need. Who cares about her?”
Elisa yelled, “Stop being a baby, Mom! Think about how we can get that Daisy girl and finish her. She must not remember Dad, at any cost. Do you want Dad to go to prison now that I’ve just found out he’s my dad?”
Liam suggested, “We need to track their phones or call one of them. Call Darren; he might know where they are.”
“But I don’t trust Darren; he’s always around Daisy.”What if he’s working for them, not us?”Elisa said and dove eyes widened
Liam’s eyes narrowed, “If he’s working for them, I’ll ki|| him myself. Tiger, call him now.”
Tiger nodded, “Yes, sir

Daisy, Summer, Barbie, Rusty, Ricky, and Clayton sat in the sitting room, staring at Darren. “Why did you call us out here, bro? You said we should meet at 10 pm, and this is still 9 pm,” Clayton said.
“What’s the difference? This night could be an emergency,” Rusty replied.
“There is a difference, you know,” Barbie said, and Rusty’s eyes widened.
“Oh, hold on, am I missing something here? Are you two a thing now?”
“Shut up, Rusty,” Clayton and Barbie said in unison.
“Oh, yes, yes, I will,” Rusty said, chuckling.
“What’s going on, Darren? You look worried,” Daisy said, her brow furrowed.
“Lovie is dead, and Elisa ki||ed her,” Darren said,
“What? They all said in unison.
“Elisa ki||ed Lovie?” Summer repeated, shock etched on her face.
“Yes, Elisa is now part of the plan,” Darren said.
“How did you find out?” Summer asked.
“I planted a camera there. They’ve been smart enough not to say much, but this video can surely get Elisa and them all in prison. However, Godfather can get rid of this evidence because he’s very influential, which is why we need a better plan,” Darren explained.
“Do you have a plan?” Ricky asked, his eyes locked on Darren.
“Yes, I have a plan, and we must all work together, please,” Darren said,
” I will be expecting their call right now, I’m ready for that as well.
“what? they might hack it and trace us here. Ricky said and daisy rolled her eyes
” I have a plan for that, and yes they can’t hack anything as long as you are in here and not outside the door. Darren said
“You’re smart,” Daisy said, a hint of admiration in her voice.
“Thanks, wifey,” Darren said, winking at her.
” so…. here is the plan……..

Darren stood in the large room, a space where he honed his fighting and marksmanship ski||s. Clad in simple attire, his sweat-drenched hair and glistening skin made him look incredibly attractive. Daisy entered slowly, her eyes fixed on Darren with her mouth agape.
Noticing her gaze, Darren stopped his training and smiled.
“Why are you here, wifey? You know you can be my distraction.”
Daisy stammered, “I…I’m…sorry…I just want to learn how to protect myself from the bad guys too. Can you teach me some ski||s?”
Darren raised an eyebrow. “Did you speak to Iris?”
Daisy’s eyes widened. “How did you know that?”
Darren chuckled. “Because I’m smart, wifey.”
Daisy rolled her eyes. “Just teach me already.”
Darren teased, “Teach you what? I can teach you how to be good with guys, so you won’t be so innocent when you and I—”
Daisy interrupted, “Shut up, Darren! Teach me how to fight already.”
Darren asked, “Is that the only reason you’re here, D?”
Daisy hesitated, “No…I…I actually want to remember something. I’ve been having weird flashes lately.”
Darren nodded thoughtfully. “Oh, so..?
“help me remember Darren, I want to remember it all. Daisy muttered slowly and Darren smirked
Then let’s start with this.” He walked up to Daisy, gently pushed her against the wall, raised her head, and claimed her lips in a passionate kiss. Daisy closed her eyes and reciprocated immediately.
Da…. rren. she Mõ@?ed out
