"Geez! It's Dark Hubbard,the nephew to Mr Dean Hubbard."Prince sneered.
Some of the students who were trooping in stopped to listen.
Then they began whispering among themselves.
*Dark is Mr Dean nephew?"
*If Dark is Mr Dean nephew then Prince is his cousin.
*I knew Dark was no ordinary student when he stepped into the hall.
Dark turned in surprise to see who said that.
"I don't know whoever you are and who sent you." Dark examined him, filled with a sudden rush of anger."Cause It'll be wise if you back down now cause you totally don't know who you're dealing with."
Siren quickly moved towards Dark."We should leave now master Dark. You shouldn't start a fight with him."
Dark raised his hand at him, quieting him down."You better stay out of this."
Siren sighed in frustration and moved back,but he never let his gaze leave dark.
"Oh really?" Prince stepped forward, with graceful steps,his gaze mixed with hatred and disgust."I shouldn't be surprised you don't know me." Prince adjusted his shirt as he carried himself with pride."Well...let me introduce myself. I'm prince..."
"Save your introductions for the street dogs... They deserve to know you better."
Dark turned to leave.
Prince began to boil in rage. He won't let him get away after being insulted.
Some of the students brought out their phone, videoing the scene and whispering among themselves.
"Merely observing you has made me realize that you are not just a jerk,but a nonentity... Face it! You're scared of losing..." Prince snapped,each words laced with anger.
Dark clenched his fists together, trying to control his rage. His back still facing him."You don't know anything about me."
"Of course I do."Prince moved forward,close enough to be able to place his hand on his shoulder."I know that you were and has ever been a scared, hopeless trash never meant to be born..."
Dark gritted his teeth,his fists clenched hardly as his body slightly trembled with rage.
Prince continued."No one can ever accept a beast like you..."
Filled with all the anger piled up in him,he turned,landing a heavy punch on his chest which made him flying towards the door of Mr Dean office, hitting his head hard on the door. He slipped down, blood pouring from his mouth.
Everyone gasped.
Dark,still didn't give up. Thinking he was pretending, he moved towards Prince,halting Siren from stopping him.
He got to Prince and grabbed the collar of his shirt."Who sent you to spy on me? Who!"
Mr Dean rushed out of his office due to the loud noise against his door.
He shouted in shock as his gaze met his son.
Dark,fearing no one at the moment,Shaked Prince harshly."Stop pretending and let everyone know who's the scared weakling now."
Dean went on his knees quickly and pushed Dark away."Are you insane!"His eyes burned red with anger and pain.
Siren quickly rushed towards Dark and dragged him up."Dark you..."
Dark ignored him, leaving in silence.
Siren followed behind.
"Why are you people standing there gaping like a bunch of idiot?" He roared."Quickly. Someone should get my car keys. It's on my office desk."
Derrick hurried into his office to get the car keys as Dean slung Prince over his shoulder.
Dark had entered his car, filled with rage,zooming out of the school building and down the subway.
Siren followed behind in his Black SUV.
Dark drove really fast, letting his anger consume him.
The route he took was semi developed and quiet,but cars passed occasionally.
He didn't stop.The more his anger increased,the more he accelerated."
Siren shouted his name through the car window, telling him to stop,but he wasn't hearing anything.
His anger had consumed him fully.
Prince words rang in his head.*"No one can accept a beast like you."* "Argh!" He dug his hand through his hair in frustration.*"Hopeless.Trash. Never meant to be born." The words circled his mind, making him unable to focus on the road as he drove.
*"Trash. You're never... Beast."*
The voices in his head suddenly stopped as he hit the brakes in a flash, bringing the car to a halt.
He stared at the lady he almost hit with his car,shock written all over his face.
Ariana shrieked. She could hear her heart beat fast as she stared at the person who almost killed her.
She could swear her life flashed before her.
She cursed inwardly, adjusted her scarf and hurried away.
Dark stayed glued,shock written all over his face as he still stared at where she had stood.
He couldn't believe he almost killed someone out of anger.
Not just that. He had felt a spark charge through him like an electric shock the moment he stopped the car.
The anger that consumed him had left him, replacing peace.
He rubbed his face." I must be tired."
Siren knocked softly on the car window, trying to get his attention.
Dark rolled the window down.
"Do you know the gravity of what you've done?" Siren snapped,his tone laced with fury.
"I know. I almost got someone killed." Dark answered smoothly,no sound of guilt.
"You were a reckless driver master Dark..."
Dark started the engine."Race you back home Siren." He drove off.
Siren sniffed in and out,his chest heaving with rage. He screamed all his frustration, smiled in satisfaction before heading towards his car and zoomed off after him.
....
Sentara Northern Medical Center.
The hospital is located a few miles away from Nova core university.
Sentara Northern Medical Center may not be the largest hospital,but it is respected due to its calm, clean environment and efficient professional staffs which makes the hospital highly respected.
Dean sat on a chair close to his son who lay with his eyes closed on the bed." But the doctor said you're out of trouble and will be alright....why haven't you opened your eyes yet?" Dean frowned. Placing his face between his palms he sighed in frustration.*"Please wake up."*
Prince finally opened his eyes,he shifted his body so he could face his dad.*"How did I get here?"*
The scene suddenly replayed in his head and he sniffed out in anger.*" How dare he! Such a beast..." He looked at his father and smiled." I'm sure father will have him expelled."
He tried to sit up,but couldn't due to a sudden sharp pain in his head. He grunted in pain.
Dean raised his head,a smile plastered on his face." You're awake."
He pulled him up to sit and hugged him tightly .
"Dad you're squeezing me."
Dean finally released him. Placing his hands on his shoulder he smiled." I thought I lost you son."
He stood and placed pillows at the back of his head so he could sit balanced.
He sat back on the chair."You just met Dark Prince...Care to explain why he fought you?"
"Dad?" Prince frowned." Are you trying to blame me for what happened?"
"I never did that son... I just need your statement. Why did Dark fight you?" His tone was calm and slightly stern.
"He..."
"Don't even think of lying to me Prince..." Dean cut in." Cause I'll know."
"Fine." He sighed." I'll tell the truth,but dad he must be expelled."
"You don't tell me what to do Prince."
"I was heading to your office to see you cause...cause I missed you dad...You don't come to Nova core as usual as before." Prince narrowed his gaze down ."If I see you today it'll be after a month or two before I see you again."
"That's because I'm a busy man prince. Its not only in Nova core I make my money. I've been traveling across the countries attending to business matters, ensuring my companies run smoothly. Don't you want me to be successful?"
"I do."
"Then why cause trouble with Dark?"
"I didn't." Prince raised his head to look at him." I overhead your discussion with Dark. He was being rude and disrespectful so I couldn't just keep quiet."
"You passed the other route into my office."
"Yes... I know you've warned me. I just wanted to surprise you."
" You're so stubborn. You know that right?"
He nodded, feeling guilty already.
"So you started the fight."
"Sort of. I just told him...."
"I don't want to hear what you told him." Dean stood."I don't want such a scene repeated. Understood!"
"Yes dad."
"He's not even in the same level with you. You're a year older. I'm sure in age as well and you can't be matured for once."
"Dad I'm sorry. You don't have to hit it hard."
"I'll have the nurse admminister two injections to you."
"But dad I'm fine."
"I know. It's the only way I could think as a punishment."
"Dad!" Prince cried out as he watched his father leave.
...
Nova core cafeteria.
The next day.
Dark Hubbard walked into the school cafeteria, dressed in his matching black wears as usual.
His expression was deadpan as he walked with calm precision.
Everyone in the cafeteria turned cause they could feel his dark aura penetrating through them.
Then they began whispering among themselves and drooling over him .
Maxwell examined Dark,a sudden feel of jealousy,anger and suspicion washed through him. He spoke,his gaze still on Dark." Who is he?"
His personal guard. Colin answered quickly."He's a newbie Sir."
"A newbie uh. He seems like a rich kid... I need information about him. Every damn information. And you have just the whole day to provide the answers. Understood?"
"Yes sir."
Dark sat at the end corner of the cafeteria,his usual spot. He brought out his phone and began operating on it as he waited for his meal.
Siren phone began to ring. He checked the caller Id,realizing that it's president Xavier,he quickly answered." Good morning boss."
"What's this video I'm seeing online!"
Siren gulped down nothing. He could feel the anger in his tone.
"I sent you to guard Dark and that included putting him out of trouble,but you didn't.
You allowed him fight with my brother son."
"Sir I..."
Xavier didn't allow him speak."Any more mistakes you make will set you free forever. Understood!" He ended the call,not waiting for his reply.
"Yes boss." Siren bit his lip till blood erupted.
As soon as Dark meal was brought,his phone rang.
He smirked, realizing who is calling."So disgusting of him to care." He muttered.
When Xavier gave him the phone he saved his number in it, identified as father,but Dark changed the name to The Beast.
"Hello father. What a surprise."
"You should know already I care less enough to be worried about you."
"Why did you call?"
"I'm not ready for long talk Dark. The moment the scene you created repeats itself... I'll make sure you're heading to school with five guards by your side."
Dark gritted his teeth in rage,his hold on the phone tight.
"I know how much you love your privacy,but I'll make sure your privacy is diminished. Let that stick into your thick skull Dark."
"I hate you." Dark spoke between clenched teeth.
"I hate you more. I almost forgot...Kiara sent her regards. She misses you and can't stop crying."
Dark ended the call,and hit the phone on the table hard enough for his tray of food to spill over.
"Dark are you..."
He ignored him and left the cafeteria without his phone.
"What a mess! How dare he leave after creating such a mess." The woman in charge of the cafeteria yelled.
"I'm sorry mam. He's just upset. You could tell your workers to clean it off."
"So easy for you to say.Jerks."
Siren hurried off .
Meanwhile, Dark who marched out of the cafeteria was lost and consumed with rage. As he descended down the stairs of the cafeteria,he didn't see anyone ascending up the stairs.
Ariana,on the other hand,was filled with fear and engrossed in her thought.
She was so engrossed on how or what she'll reply to Maxwell. She didn't notice anyone descending down the stairs.
So as she ascended and he descended the stairs they collided.
She missed a step and lost balance,but before she could fall to the ground,Dark's hand shot out, catching her.
While in his arms,he felt lost,time faltered and he just couldn't let go.
Her body pressed lightly against his, and his eyes locked onto hers--deep, searching,and confused.
Seconds passed, he stared, not just at her, but through her… as though he could understand why he felt the strange pull.
A voice called his name, destroying the moment. He blinked, released her quickly and his expression hardened as if nothing had happened. Then, without a word or backward glance, he walked away.
Siren following behind.
Ariana just stood speechless.*" His face... I've seen him somewhere,but where?"*
She racked her brain.
She finally remembered and her face twisted in a frown.*"The crazy driver... Does he attend Nova core?"*
