Tristan was walking angrily towards the assembly point thinking of how many ways he wanted to get Viggo back for his stunt. He had crossed the line messing with him. He was trying to make an example out of Edward so no one dared chase the girl who was his and only his but Viggo had dared interfere.

Vincenzo ran to him and started walking next to him as he spoke " Once this false alarm is off and its all clear, we will be sent back into the building. I want to know are you thinking of coming to the gym or aren't you finished with Edward?"

Tristan whispered "What do you think?"

Vincenzo spoke "I think there will be no point for you to carry on with torturing him. You already have made your point. You have already sent the message out that Vienna is yours. If the kid does not get the message and carries on then go for it and make it as public as you want when you go at him but even by my standards you will be going too far. We have games coming up and you have already put your claim on Vienna. The whole school knows now as the guys did not seem to keep it to themselves what happened to Edward which was on your orders, I bet....... Just come to practice after this false alarm is sorted out. We have a game coming up. I couldn't care less about this Edward kid but I care about the games we have coming up this term. We can't go unprepared to games...."

Tristan retorted back " Why are you trying to get me to let Edward go...,"

Vincenzo spoke " It is none of my business what you do to Edward kid. I just care for our game. You wasting your time an enemy who has already broken is not going to win us games. He would be scared of your shadow now. Why bother with him. So what do you say? Are you coming to practice or not after this false alarm is sorted."

Tristan looked ahead as he was walking " No. I have unfinished business with Edward and of course ..... your dear brother."

Vincenzo chuckled " Oh, I saw Viggo taking Edward to a lecturer to flag him up for medical attention.... Lets face it. Once they announce all is clear to return, Edward won't be leaving the medical room any time soon after he enters it. My best bet is that he will get out at the end of school..... As for Viggo, don't worry I have lined up some fitting ways to make him pay up for this morning. I would make him do push ups and sit ups for the whole session today for his stunt this morning. Of course I will deal with him privately at home too.. But it's me who deals with him for anything he has done so lets go to the gym after this nonsense is over and get to work.. " He emphasised on his last sentence by saying the sentence in a harsher tone. His brother was for him to deal with unless Vincenzo gave his approval otherwise by agreeing on the severity of what he had done being an issue he needed a hard a lesson for it.

Tristan spoke with venom " I will have to put Viggo in his place. He set Vienna up with that weakling. Why don't you add it to his list of offences. Only I want to deal with him for that. This is personal. I warned you if he messed with Vienna I would deal with him."

Vincenzo frowned " What do you mean he set her up?"

Tristan gritted his teeth " Viggo asked Edward to work with Vienna to help her with her science project and then that was when Edward told her he liked her. Then while I was trying to teach Edward a lesson and make an example out of him, he decided to sound the fire alarm. He has to answer for his crimes."

Vincenzo shook his head " So Viggo just asked him to help her with the science project. That is it. Right? Viggo didn't exactly ask him to come onto her. Did he? You can't blame Viggo. He is guilty of other crimes but not setting Edward up. I will deal with Viggo myself. You deal with Edward... But calm down man. Vienna did not agree to go out with Edward or anything? Did she? So you should lay off for now and let the team get on with practice. I want to see you in changing rooms once we return back to gym."

Vincenzo meant every word. He didn't see Viggo as someone to blame for setting Vienna up. But he blamed Viggo for starting this mess in the first place. No thanks to Viggo and him asking Edward for help, this raging bull that happened to be his number one rival and an extremely dangerous kid, was suddenly after their sister and had decided to claim her as his. Viggo could have asked the Pirelli sisters to help Vienna. Not that his sister accepted any help anyways. But Viggo was guilty of nothing but setting Tristan on Vienna and delaying his Monday's basketball practice. Of course Viggo had to pay for that kiss on the hand he had given to Letizia. He had touched Letizia respectfully but it still bothered Vincenzo since no one else knew he wanted Letizia but Viggo clearly knew. He should have known better to knowingly touch what was his.

Vincenzo looked at Tristan and then decided to give him space. So Vincenzo stopped walking and looked on as Tristan walk away. He could see the blood in Tristan's eyes. Vienna obviously must have been clueless about how mad she had driven Tristan to become. He definitely needed a cold shower as Letizia prescribed for such issues apparently. He laughed as he recalled how she had said to him to go lie in an ice bath. He did that every day anyways.

Tristan was just beyond furious. All this time he had waited just on his father's advice all to avoid a drastic reaction from Vienna's father. He had waited way too long and had kept his distance only to avoid her father possibly pulling her out of the school if he found out how his daughter was subject of his affection from an early age. Not any more. Not any longer was he going to hide his feelings and there was no way he was going to allow Vienna get away from him. She was now old enough to date. There was even an end of year prom for 14-15 year olds just like how there was one for 16-18 year olds. If her father didn't want her to be in such school, he wouldn't have enrolled her there. He must have known there was even a prom coming up.

As Tristan reached an empty corner of the assembly point to wait by himself all alone, he heard her soft, velvet voice from behind him "Tristan... wait..."

Tristan stopped in his tracks and took a deep breath. He had no idea how he had managed to wait this long and had endured being close to Vienna for so long not confessing how he felt. He had lost count of the days he had come close to telling her how he felt. He had watched her from far for years and countless times he had come close to walking up to her and telling her how he felt. He had come close to telling her how his heart was jumping out of his chest every time, he saw her smile. He loved her so much. He knew there was a possibility she would have never loved him. It hurt to think that way. He was Tristan O'Neil. He was not going to give up until she fell for him. But if he didn't, he was going to warn her "If he couldn't have her, no one could." He was going to go after anyone who dared capture her heart. He was going to have her and she was going to fall in love with him. Any one who came between them was going to be removed. No one was allowed to get in his way of having Vienna.

Vienna watched Tristan turn around and stopped walking. As she looked up into his eyes, her legs felt like jelly and she felt breathless. He looked so intimidating but he had his usual elegance. He was incredibly attractive but she felt nervous being the target of his deep piercing stare he always gave her. But this time his eyes held fury and she was petrified. No one wanted to be looked at in fury by him. She was no exception. He must have felt ... betrayed. She had just rejected him without hesitation. What could she expect? She just was afraid of him. The only feeling she had towards him was fear. He effortlessly and skillfully had authority. He had a dangerous glare in his eyes always and at that moment, all she wanted to do was to turn around and run. He looked at her as though she was already his. It was as though he was warning her with his possessive glare that he was going to have her soon. She was not even sure if she could form any sentences at that moment. But she had to. This was a mess and she had to fix it. She didn't know how to but she had to try. For Edward, for her brother. Tristan's interest in her had started all this. She had to end his rageful episode.

Tristan waited for her to speak but she didn't say a word. She just swallowed hard as she held his stare.

Tristan spoke "Yes, Vienna. What is it you wanted to say? From what Trent told me you had no problem chatting with that wimp, Edward Blake. The guy is such a coward that when a lecturer asked him how he got his bruises he said he didn't see anyone since he was ambushed and blindfolded. Can you believe it? He even does not have the guts to tell a lecturer who was going to stay with him and then take him to medical room about what had happened. Is that who you spent half a lesson chatting with? You never gave me a chance to get to know you but he got a chance to..."

Vienna got the hint. He was truly jealous. But maybe not even that. He took jealousy to a new level. She gulped. He was looking at her with his accusing stare that made her want to run so badly. But she had to stay. She had to clear up this misunderstanding and she had to start over. She had to explain everything clearly. She took a deep breath and spoke carefully " I am sorry. I did not give you a chance but neither did you..."

Tristan narrowed his eyes "What?"

Vienna instinctively took a step backwards, as he was looking at her with the menacing look that no one liked to face. She gave out a shaky breath "You did not give me the chance to explain anything. You just walked in at the end of my calculus lesson. Then you told me that you ..... liked me.... and dragged Edward away...."

Tristan crossed his arms over his chest "Damn right. What I did to him was nothing. I will make him wish he was not ever born...."

Vienna sighed "But why? You did not give me a chance to explain. He is just a smart kid in my class who was helping me. That is all...."

Tristan spat "One that likes you..."

Vienna spoke "But I don't like him. I don't like any boys for that matter. I don't think of anybody like that. I was just in my class refusing to ask for help from anyone when I knew I was stuck. Viggo knew I was struggling and asked him to come over. He helped me with my science project. Now I would be able to pass thanks to him and my father won't ground me. Did you rather my brother did not ask him for help and I was grounded. I have places to be. I certainly don't like to grounded. I actually look forward to that party Clarisa invited me to. If I was grounded for failing this project I could not attend that and ...." She then stopped as she just realised what she had just said. That party involved dancing and a sleep over at the O'Neil mansion where Tristan was. There were going to be boys everywhere.... Tristan could get mad... She couldn't believe this.

Tristan was looking at her with a softer expression now. He had suddenly changed " You do? You look forward to that party? Me too. This is the first thing we have in common...... Will you save me a dance?"

Vienna couldn't believe this? She had just heard him threaten her brother and he was after poor Edward. How could she dance with him. She wanted to say that how it really was but she couldn't. She spoke " If you keep threatening anyone who tries to help me in class and beat then up I am quite sure I can't even attend that party. My father is very strict with my grades. If I fail, I am grounded and a fail means lower than A+ grades just like your fathers rules. Viggo tried to help me get someone to help me when I am just too proud to ask for help. Viggo had no choice. It's not like anyone else could help. Maybe the Pirelli sisters can but they only work in their group of three and don't move anywhere....."

Tristan spoke " You did not answer my question. Will you save me a dance.?"

Vienna spoke " How can I answer you when you obviously will have me grounded by next week by going after people who try to help me."

Tristan looked thoughtful as he was looking at Vienna and then narrowed his eyes as he spoke with irritation in his voice " Fine. Anyone who helps you in class directly and indirectly is immune. If they overstay their welcome when they come to your desk, they will be dealt. So I wont do any more damage to Edward for what he did and would let Viggo off today. I have a limit. I wont stand by and watch if someone tries to come onto you. What I did to Edward was really nothing. It was just warm up..."

Vienna took a sigh of relief as she heard the words. She couldn't believe he was going to let Viggo and Edward go. She knew he meant it. He was an O'Neil and kept his promises. She didn't like his threats but she knew this was not really a good time to argue.

Tristan spoke firmly "Now answer me. Will you save me a dance?"

At that moment Vienna panicked but then was interrupted luckily as she saw Clarisa approaching "Vienna, the girls have been looking for you. Why are you in the wrong assembly point for our year group? Never mind. Lets go. She then grabbed her hand and lead her away. Vienna felt relief that Tristan didn't block her path. He showed consideration in front of his sister and didn't carry on.

Clarisa complained as they were walking away " It took me a while to find you. Today is basketball practice day as you know but we have to do cheer leading practice some days too because we lost that bet. Azurine is not happy about the cheer leading squad having to train new people. As you know the entire basketball team has to join cheer leaders too. Azurine is annoyed that she has to change the training schedule to suit us all. Letizia basically gave her a solution. She said the cheerleaders and basketball team could become one. This was we can split our training sessions into two. Half for cheer leading and half for basketball. The basketball team get new members and so do the cheerleaders. But we need you to convince her. You know she listens to you."

Vienna sighed " Of course." Azurine, who was Alton MacNamara's sister just gave Vienna special treatment because she liked Viggo. She didn't like anyone else though. She was the most difficult girl to deal with and she had to train her in basketball team and she had to train some people on her team who weren't already on the cheer leading team to become cheerleaders. Oh, joyful times.
