~•Westwood. International ~NEXT DAY•~
The parking lot was packed with numerous expensive vehicles, pretty much every student at school had a car except bike riders or those who did not have enough money to even buy a bike.
Five cars showed up all at once.
"It's THE Divas!" someone shouted, and chaos broke out instantly. Students screamed and phones shot up to capture the moment. They weren't just admired for their beauty, but for the power they carried—bold, untouchable, and unapologetic. The Divas weren't just girls; they were a storm that owned every hallway they stepped into, worshipped and feared in equal measure.
Aria Yanta ~ The school's most feared girl, icy, cruel, and dresses in mostly baggy clothes.
Iris Maverick ~ The tomboy, she dresses like a guy, one would even think she's a guy at first glance.
Nelly Greene ~ The fashionista, Her sense of fashion is great.
Karen Marley ~ The quiet one, who loves reading a great deal.
Syril Carlson ~ The social networking addict, who loves dancing.
Iris and Nelly exited their cars first and the screams were doubled
~ Nelly looks so pretty.
~ Iris's hair….Wow!
~ Did you see Nelly's outfit? Heard it just landed in New York.
~ Wow! Iris face card never falls.
~ Nelly's model face. I wanna suck her up swrs.
They were still talking when Karen and Syril came out next and the cheers went on.
The final car's door opened suddenly and in came who everyone was waiting for. The shrieks multiplied.
Aria had on a short, black corset top that exposed her waistline and belly button and a black leather Jean, topped by boots.
All of them kept on screaming until the five of them appeared in the class before the screaming ended. They always sat together no matter what.
Nelly abruptly hugged Iris and Nelly shoved her away.
"Please not again" Karen said and they both gave her nasty glances.
"I will hug you if you say you missed me" Nelly said and Iris laughed before she walked away from her. After some minutes, iris went over to her.
"I missed you so much Nel" Iris pouted and they all laughed.
"Told you all she can't do without me" Nelly hugged her and kissed her hair. Iris pouted and leaned her head on Nelly's chest.
"You both are crazy" Syril chuckled.
A lecturer suddenly entered and the commotion ceased.
~•KINGS APARTMENT•~
"Should we have a party?" Felix suddenly said.
"Is that all your brain ever does?" Levi quipped and Felix rolled his eyes.
"yo mahn hear me out.i mean when was the last time we even wore ond?" felix quipped and Nigel nodded along, "yeah, good point"
"You are only agreeing with him bcuz of the Pu$ies you wanna fuck" Levi retorted.
"School just reopened, parties shouldn't be on your mind now" Vernon came down the stairs looking all messy with his hair, he just woke up.
"Wait….did you fight someone while you were sleeping?" Nigel laughed out loud and Vernon gave him a threatening glare.
Vernon sat beside Levi and Levi placed his hand on his hair.
"Hey….what are you doing?" Vernon moved back.
I wanna comb your hair" Levi said, holding out his index finger to his hair.
"Fuck off Levi." Vernon said and started combing his hair with his fingers. Levi shrugged.
"Keep fooling yourself" Nigel chimed in and Vernon glared at him again.
"Stop glaring, i swear to god your eyes will pop off one day." Felix interrupted and Vernon glared at him too. Levi laughed.
We are going to school soon." Vernon said referring to the school timetable
"How soon?" Felix inquired looking over his shoulder.
"Stop huffing and puffing down my neck u fake piece of shit" Vernon elbowed him.
"Wait….I thought Kay is back, why is he not yet?" Nigel suddenly interrupted cutting Vernon.
"He may just suddenly turn up, yunno he never tells us anything" Felix replied.
The door creaked open and Kayden walked in as to be expected.
"Told ya" Felix shrugged.
Kay simply walked in, did not even give either of his friends a second look and went straight up. He threw himself on the bed and sighed. He could still feel Courtney's burning touches all over his body and her relentless over-the-top moans. He shrieked into the pillow which only muffled the shriek. He wished that he could forget the happenings of last night.
~••~••~••~
Kayden was seated in the chair facing his study desk, nose deep in his book, but not in his thoughts.
Having met Courtney for so long, some feelings that he had been attempting to delete have been restored. It is hard for him to breathe whenever she's by his side and worse when he thinks about her, which was what was occurring at that time. He's certainly not coming back to that house anytime soon. 'But thar doesn't mean she is going to stay away from me' he said to himself. 'God I hate this. My whole life.ugh' he leaned back in his chair face palming himself as he wallows in self loathe.
A knock suddenly broke him from thought and he raised his head up.
"Come in" Kayden spoke up and Vernon entered.
"Huh….what's up with you being here? I thought y'all went to school" Kayden inquired sitting up straight and closing his text books, this was the first time Vernon was entering his room.
"Can I come in?" Vernon inquired and nodded.
Vernon sat on a chair beside him.
"Do you go home?" Vernon inquired.
"Yeah….
"Is that why you're moody?" Vernon inquired.
"Am I?" Kayden inquired.
"I know you're always looking for cold but this is not your face, there's a little sadness in those eyes" said Vernon looking at his eyes.
"I'm okay….
"Is Richard back?" Vernon asked.
"Yeah….
"Ohh…I guess that's why" Vernon nodded twice.
"Don't worry about it too much, I mean you've managed on your own even with your dad not trying to boss you around, your dad acting all of a sudden nice won't do anything, don't let it affect you and I'm sure everything will turn out fine eventually" Vernon went on.
"Wait…did you take motivational lessons after I left the country?" Kayden sarcastically laughed, none of his smiles ever making it to his eyes.
"Stop...I only came to cheer u up but instead you gonna just make fun if me?" Vernon rolled his eyes. Kayden laughed.
-----
"I'm going to my room" Vernon stood up and Kayden nodded, pushing the thought to the back of his head.
"Than…. " Kayden was about to say, but he remained quiet at once.
"Don't say it if you can't" Vernon said and Kayden nodded.
Vernon went out of his room.
Levi was also going to his room and their eyes met.
"wait, you entered his room?" Levi asked.
"Is there a problem?" Vernon asked and let go of the doorknob.
"No, just. nevermind" Levi waved him away and entered his own room.
~••~••~•
~•MAVERICK'S HOUSE~ EVENING•
Iris's car came to the big compound and her driver got out to open the car for her
"I said stop doing that Joel.I can open the car door myself" Iris rolled her eyes.
"It's my Job" said Joel and she rolled her eyes again.
As soon as Iris got out of her car, she started hearing sounds from the house and she sighed while walking towards the door, she breathed in before turning the doorknob.
She walked in and sure enough, her parents are fighting again. The rebel family is the most calm and the humblest family globally outside but she is the only one who knows what her family is like.
"You are a bastard, I saw you exiting the hotel with a woman" Her mum shouted.
"How many times must I tell you that she is a business partner?" Her dad yelled back.
"You are lying, that's how it always begins" Her mum yelled again, she stood up and took the remote and hurled it at him, but he evaded it
Iris sighed, they didn't even recognize that she had been standing for more than two minutes.
You thought I did not see you when you also came out of a cafe with a man? I simply decided to keep quiet" Her dad accused.
"What!! He was my client" Her mum defended.
"Same way she is my business partner Clara!!" Her dad declared also.
A business partner? In a hotel room? You think you think you can take me for a fool don't you?" She laughed, raking her head "you are only seeking excuses to justify yourself" and she suddenly shouted back.
Her father let out a sigh and stepped to exit the door, but her mother seized the glass cup that was on the table in anger and threw it at him, he was fast enough to catch the hint, so he dodged it and the glass hit the wall, the glass broke and part of it penetrated into Iris's exposed arm, she groaned in pain, but they did not even notice that a person had been injured.
Iris grasped her gushing arm and started walking to her bedroom, she glared in pain at her parents who were still crying before rushing to her bedroom.
"I could have died Clara" Her dad shouted.
"Then die!!! Her mum shouted as well.
The moment she entered, she shut her door and leaned up against the wall. Her body slid down and she sat on the floor with the wall against her back, tears started streaming out of her eyes. She ignored her injured arm and the blood started dripping onto the freshly cleaned floor.
Neither of her friends is aware of what's going on in her house and it's not bragging material either.
How will she go about telling them that the CEO of MAVERICK AUTOMOBILES and his wife are nothing but abusers of one another. That they are toxic for each other.
Who is she gonna inform them that the Maverick family's sole daughter is neglected by her so called parents whose only basic concern is accusing each other of cheating day in and day out.
Why did they get married at all if they are not even gonna trust one another and accuse each other of cheating every fucking day?
The more she thought, the more tears kept rolling down her face and she buried her face in her palms, her blood gushing more onto the impeccable tiled floor.
