Chapter 10: Chapter 10

"Gross that must have been painful, hold on, he didn't announce, I need every student of Phoenix High to capture Kapella Elijah, she kicked my balls". Cindy said and Kapella laughed.

"Seriously I'm in deep shit and I still get to laugh like all is well".

"Maybe I'm worried about who taught you how to kick people's balls?".

"Did I make a mistake telling you what transpired between Finn and me?".

"Who?".

Kapella's eyes turned in Lovely's direction.

"I knew it, Something more happened than you two in a basement for hours".

"Quit that already, Cindy, it wasn't in the basement, he did it on big Joe, can't you see he's been quiet the entire day?". Kapella asked.

"Heard he's owing a hell lot of levy now".

"That's right, he wanted to capture me for money but reality was unfair".

"All thanks to Faceless ". Cindy whispered pulling her cheek.

"Hi". They heard a voice and jolt in shock.

"Lovely, you scared me".

"Am sorry".

"Don't You have any other name apart Lovely, you're causing confusion". Cindy said.

"You wouldn't want to hear, I brought a book for you, Kapella". He said as he handed over a big book that she had to hold with her both hands.

"Understanding Italian". She read.

"Yeah. If you still have an interest in the Italian language, it's gonna help and you can join her Cindy if you have interest too".

"Lovely". Kapella smiled and opened the cover.

"Yes?".

"I said the book is lovely".

"Oh".

"Yeah". She replied and they laughed.

"It's the latest edition". Cindy said.

"Got it during summer even though I knew Italian already".

"How did you get the book? Professor Raji says there are only a few published every five years and the one he has is an old old edition, it was a gift from his professor at college who was able to get one because he was influential and this latest edition, only twenty copies were released this year ". Cindy said.

" I'm lucky I guess ".

" Thanks so much, Lovely, I do appreciate it ". Kapella smiled

He nodded and left.

" What was that about Cindy, someone gifts us a book and all you do is tell stories ". Kapella said.

" I'm just surprised how he could get his hands on such rare gem, only twenty copies in the world, do you know what that means?".

"Enlighten me, Cindy".

"Why do you become dumb when it concerns Lovely's issue?".

"What do you mean?".

"Imagine twenty new brand of phone is released, take the released iPhone 13 as an example, imagine only twenty of this smartphone is released, what happens?". Cindy asked.

"The World goes crazy at the company".

"Dumb Girl".

"I'm gonna bite you if you call me that again".

"The smartphone gets to finish in the twinkle of an eye, someone might even order all the twenty".

"So what's my concern with that?".

"Dumb Girl". Cindy said and Kapella tried to bite but she pushed her face.

"A book that could help learn Italian fast and easily, twenty copies would be consumed in less than an hour".

"Maybe it was a gift to him".

"He said he got it".

"Lucky him".

"Dumb Girl, It cost a huge sum and only influential beings can get their hands on it".

"You mean influential".

"Whatever you're right, the dude is damn Rich ". Cindy said.

" And right now I feel so pressed as a result of your talking ". Kapella said and placed the book in Cindy's hand.

" I'll be back ".

She walked out of the classroom and there was Diaz leaning against the wall in front of her.

" Hello Fugitive". He said.

Kapella swallowed the saliva in her mouth and turned to go back to the class but two chubby dudes were standing at the door.

She turned to the right and left but it was the same.

"Will you say hello now?".

"Hello". She said suddenly developing some courage.

"Here you are, do you have plans to escape again?". He roared and she scoffed.

"What do you want?".

"Can you hear that?, She got no respect for the king".

"My next word could be lethal so I'll just remain mute". Kapella said.

"You better be or I'm gonna punish you, you're gonna do what you think you can run from, come with me". He said walking away.

"Feed you!". She roared and the Chubby Dude pushed her forward.

"Don't touch me I can walk". She said following after Diaz.

"I'm not gonna feed you".

"Is that a threat?".

"Whatever you call it".

"Do you realize you're talking to Diaz?".

"What's special, you ain't the only one who bears the name".

He turned back and grab her chin.

"I control women, they don't control me or act like freaks". He roared and let go of her chin.

"Good thing I am not a woman, can I go?". She asked.

"Don't dare my patience Kapella Elijah, I bet you haven't heard about my history". He said but she did not reply.

" When I speak, I deserve a reply ".

"I'm trying not to dare your patience and your Guards are scaring me ". She said and he paused.

" Go ". He said and they left.

" There's nothing I love more than your fearlessness ". He said and turned to where she stood before but she had mysteriously disappeared into the crowd of students.

"Bvtch!". He cursed and raced into the crowd.

He screamed angrily as he couldn't find her.

Kapella could be seen breathing heartlessly as she got into an elevator.

She pressed a button on the call box and sat on the ground.

Diaz was running for the elevator but the doors closed already and it descend.

He took out his smartphone and moved into the cafeteria where he sat beside Ashley who was consuming a bowl of ice cream.

"Jude, I need you to go to the School's Station and make an announcement for me, a fvcking Girl thinks she could run....".

Someone snatched his phone from behind and he turned to see Finn.

"You got some guts brother".

"Candy was right, power makes you act childish". Finn said.

"Return the phone Finn or you're gonna regret it". Diaz warned.

"Make another announcement so students hunt her again, that's so childish".

Diaz slapped the table angrily and rose to attract the attention of the students.

"Easy Boys, you're causing a scene". Ashley warned and the phone started ringing.

"Hand it over". She said and Finn gave it to her.

She smashed it on the wall and it shattered into pieces.

"Now have your seat, I said the girl is mine Diaz why go after her again?". Ashley asked.

"I am the King, I get whatever I want".

"And I am the Queen, I said she's mine and you should respect that, you both".

"You crossed the boundary by destroying my device, sister".

Ashey dipped her hand into her bag and brought out a new phone that was still in the package.

"Satisfied?". She asked and she pushed it across the table.

He tore it open like an angry lion and bringing out the phone he smashed it against the wall causing the students to gasp.

"I didn't tell you that I couldn't afford a smartphone". He roared and turned to Finn.

"And you, have you forgotten you're the youngest, you don't drag whatever with us".

"All our lives you've all had what you want and I didn't fight over it, just one time let me have something I desire".

"Shut the fvck up Finn, I said she was mine first and I'm sure you haven't forgotten the rule". She said.

"Rules don't apply to the king". Diaz said as she sipped in the wine in a cup.

"Really?, How about I lure Candy into Phoenix High?". Ashley said.

Diaz spilled out the coffee and there was fear written on his face.

"You dare not".

"Really?".

"Just because of a mere dispute you want to bring Candy into our Empire?". He roared.

"That's what I want?, To see the fear in you, if you think you can order me around, I'll wrap my fingers around Candy and make him attend this school".

"Is that a threat?".

"Whatever you call it brother ".

" Ashley makes sure no one gets what she can't have ". Finn told him.

" That's right brother, so you back off with Diaz, and Candy isn't involved in this ". Ashley whispered.

" You know I'm not scared of Candy, he's only a minor threat to my king position".

"Of course you ain't afraid of him but Sister Dahlia". She said and he grinned angrily.

"You know what happens if you make Candy come here, our dear sister who's crazily in love with him will come as well, you know what that means, not only my position is taken but you'll lose yours as a Queen as well, Dahlia rules everything and we become servants ". Diaz roared angrily.

" Let go of her for me and this argument is settled ". Finn advised.

" Not when Ashley has the intention of luring dear brother Candy here ". Diaz said.

" Alright Ash, do it and we all lose but if you stop your stupid thinking we'll continue to rule Phoenix High". He told her.

"Fine but I have the girl".

"No Ash, she belongs to me". Diaz argued.

"You know what? I'm outta here, I am not having the girl because I love her, I'm gonna have her because all of our pathetic lives, you both always get what you want and I don't object or drag with you, it's my turn now, I won't back this time ". Finn said and walked away angrily.
