Chapter 32: Chapter 32

Kapella drift back to avoid the water splashing on her.

Diaz grabbed Lovely's shirt but he pushed him off and punch his face into the water.

They submerged down exchanging blows like they were shooting a movie.

Diaz gripped Lovely's neck and pushed him down the water but he kicked him and pushed him away.

Kapella's heart pound heavily as she stared at the pool.

She could see all that was happening inside with her Mermaid vision which soon provoked her bracelet.

She quickly took it off as it tried glowed.

Ashley turned to her direction and their eyes met.

She stretched her hand to the pool with a funny face which could be interpreted as.

"Go stop this shit".

Kapella looked back and stylish drift back as the water on the ground moved toward her even though she had a shoe on she was still scared.

Diaz grabbed Lovely out of the water pinning his neck against the edge of the concrete.

Since she had a pair of socks on she wondered if she could take the risk.

She exhaled heavily and wore the bracelet.

If water penetrate through the fabric of her socks and come in direct contact with her skin even the bracelet might not be able to stop the transformation.

Everyone was watching as no one was ready to separate them not even Finn or Ashley.

Lovely turned Diaz over the edge of the concrete and sent a punch into his face.

Diaz retaliated by pushing a tranquilizer into Lovely's lap that rendered his body unconscious.

Only Kapella got to see it since she could see things underwater.

She had no choice again but raced to the edge of the pool and kicked Diaz's face freeing Lovely.

The kick was so powerful that sent him crashing in.

Kapella quickly grabbed him arms to prevent him from submerging unconsciously into the pool.

There was no way she was gonna pull him from the pool without water touching her leg.

"Hello, he's unconscious". She groaned and she turned to Ashley.

Ashley turned to Finn and nodded.

"I don't interfere in your issues again, I'm the youngest and should probably remind you that youngest don't separate fights between eldest". He said and walked away.

Ashley moved to Kapella and grabbed one of Lovely's arm while Kapella grabbed the other.

She was still scared of the water getting to touch her leg when they drag him out.

She turned and could see Cindy watching the scene from the crowd.

"Please help me!". She whispered inaudibly but Cindy stared blankly at her.

"Please!". She said again as stared formed in her eyes.

"What are you waiting for, let's draw him out". Ashley said.

"Let me help you". Cindy announced and she walked out of the crowd.

Kapella gasped as her tears flowed down.

"Thank you". She whispered and Cindy took the hand from him.

"Thank me by telling me what's going on". She whispered and Kapella took few steps back.

They drag Lovely's body out with dropping water that would have touched on Kapella's socks.

She moved carefully to him and removed the pin on his lap.

"Oh my God!". Ashley exclaimed

There was murmuring as Diaz arouse from the pool with water dropping down his hair.

He climbed the concrete and Kapella took few steps back.

He moved toward her with water drip down his body.

Kapella heart pound loudly and he raised a pin with a wicked smirk.

There was absolute silence as Lovely jolt back into consciousness.

He sprang to his feet and grabbing Diaz from behind, he snatched the pin and forced it into his neck.

He gasped and Lovely caught him unconscious.

"That is Candy!". Ashley hailed.

The students hailed loudly like he just won a WWE Championship.

He dragged Diaz unconscious body toward the pool and the crowd cheered.

"Lovely!". Kapella called out and he paused raising his head up.

"You're in no position to tell me".

"What are you gonna do?, kill him?".

" And what were you gonna do?, Run away from me forever because some bitch told you shit about me!". He roared angrily.

"It's my fault I believed him and I'm truly sorry but throwing him into the pool in an unconscious state makes you no different than him, what if he dies?".

Lovely gasped and dropped the body on the ground.

"Don't follow me". He warned and walked away.

She wanted to go after him but Ashley grabbed her back.

"Dumb girl!".

"That's my line". Cindy complained.

"And when did we become friends?".

"That's right". Cindy nodded and walked away.

"What's so special about you that sends everyone tripping or maybe I should ask myself same question ".

" Excuse me ". Kapella said walking away.

" That's right, you give no shit about anyone ".

" Cindy, please wait! ". She called running after her .

" Don't ever call me, Kapella, Just stay away from me ".

" We're friends Cindy, you can't do this ".

" Friends?". Cindy said turning back.

" Did you say Friends?, Friends don't lie, Friends don't keep secrets, they pour out everything no matter how hard it is and to crown it all you're strange now, why didn't you want to draw him out, the Kapella who ones jumped into a pool to save him couldn't now, why did you beg me? ".

Kapella exhaled heavily and she bit her lower lip.

" A secret also, just don't involve me in your problems anymore and stop coming to my house also ". She told and walked away.

She gasped as she sat on the ground with her head down.

She could hear the passing footsteps and noise made by the students.

Shortly, she heard a footstep close to her and a shadow.

"Get up, you're embarrassing yourself". She heard a masculine voice and ignored.

A hand grabbed her shoulder and pulled her up.

"Leave...........". She said and paused seeing his face.

He was now in a new shirt and short.

"How could you believe Diaz?". He asked.

"What else should I believe seeing you having a nice time with some girls I don't know". She fired.

"When you believe a guy, you trust him no matter what you see?".

"Did I say I trust you?". She grinned.

"So you don't?".

"Why should I?".

"And why are angry seeing me with them?".

"Why are you asking, a guy with two girls is surely a playboy".

"Your boyfriend would be so proud of you and I hope he deserves you cos I'll surely strangle life out of him if he turns out to be a play boy". He said and she scoffed.

"How many times will I tell you I don't have a boyfriend?". She announced and there was a surprise look at his face.

"What?".

"You're... You're single?".

"I told you already". She said and he paused trying to compose himself.

"Why that look?".

"What look?". He asked dragging her away.

"What are you doing?".

"I can't have you crying at the hallway like a kid".

"Ouch!, My arm". She cried hitting him.

He pushed the door open and the teacher turned to them.

"Mr. Candy it's been a long time". The teacher began.

"Professor Douglas you've been relocated here?, Good to see you again". He nodded and dragged her after him.

"Ouch! Just stop". She begged and he made her seat.

"Have a nice day?". He said and took his bag.

"Where are going?".

"Home cos I'm gonna kill Diaz if I set my eyes on him one more time". He said walking out.

"Have a nice day, Mr. Candy".

"Thanks Prof". He said walking out.

"Hish!". Kapella cursed and went after him.

"Miss Kapella?".

"A minute sir".

She caught up him and grabbed his neck from behind.

"Ouch!". He groaned and she bent him low.

She let go of him and he staggered back.

"Is that vengeance?". He asked laughing.

"You don't drag a lady like a piece of shit". She snapped.

"My apologies".

"Are you really leaving for home? ". She asked.

" Yeah. Are you gonna miss me? ". He asked.

" Why would I miss you, Love? ". She whispered and he turned back slowly with popped eyes.

" Why the look, Love, short form of lovely ". She said and tapped his shoulder.

" Goodbye". She added full of smiles.

"And before you vanish next time, remember there are magical digits called a phone number".

"I don't have yours". He announced.

"That's right".

He watched her enter into the classroom and wondered how she had become beautiful during his absence, her structure had taken a new form.

"Love, short form of Lovely ".

He laughed as he turned back but almost bumped into Mrs. Arrowood who had that stern stare with her eye patch.

Behind her was Diaz, Ashley and Finn with heads down.
