===== Chapter 14   [ Part 2 ] =====

Friday; 10:24 A.M.

Lock-screening your phone as you let go an exasperated sigh, you look up to see Peach and Kielle looking at you with concern. "Are you okay, (Y/N)?" Her voice is kind. She sips her milk tea after, but she still has her focus on you. You don't want them to worry because it's nothing really important, but you can't help but look so anxious. You sigh and shake your head.

"Dad," you tell them.

You unwrap the burger from its wrappers, taking in the delicious sight of the food for awhile. Mentioning your father, you see Peach pout. "Dad didn't allow you yet?" The way she called your dad like it is her own dad too makes you raise your eyebrow, but you decide to shrug those words off.

"No, not really. Dad doesn't seem happy with the idea of me having a sleepover with you guys tonight. He said he will allow me to hang out with you guys tomorrow." You sigh. "But no sleepovers.. Until now, I'm still persuading him about it."

"Aw!"

Shooting a look at Kielle, she points at him with a bitter expression. "Is it because of Cousin?" Kielle's surprised. Accusing him as the reason, he doesn't remember doing anything. You almost chuckle at the look of his face. But you settle with a soft smile.

"Partly." You sigh after. "But also because of the missing students incident.. You know how dads can be protective, right?" Peach opens her mouth but stops. She nods. "Yea. They can so over protective," She thoughtfully mumbles. Kielle looks at his cousin; he does know her dad since he has stayed with them after his parents died. He knows his uncle, and he is a good father to Peach.

But odd.

That's the only thing he can remember.

"Well..."  Peach smiles. "There's really nothing to worry, (Y/N). Those teens are not missing at all. They just went into some vacation, and the parents did not know," Peach says,  remembering the information that she has recently heard from someone. "Cops already closed the case; it's been solved already." The girl laughs as she informs her friend.

Your eyes widen.

"What?? I did not know that," you uncertainly murmur, squinting your (E/C) eyes at the thought of those teens rebelliously planning a very long vacation. Truly, those students are disrespectful!!! In the middle of the school year? Without the school's and their parents' awareness. Why would they do that? They are certainly weird. You remember those seniors from your first day of class —friends of Ashes.

Now thinking about him. Ashes!! He must have joined them since you didn't see the guy for the last few days. You've actually assumed that Alessio and Dante...  did something, but they promised you no violence.  Surely, your friends would not break the promise they made to you.

Also, he seems fine..

Ashes has been sending you messages, but you've been ghosting him since you're definitely not okay with him. With what he did. Blocking Ashes is unnecessary since you'll probably anger him if he does that, and he seems unstable.

Peach shrugs. "Me either... Just learned about it awhile ago." Kielle seems clueless by the information too. His face shows confusion as he says that he also learned the information just now.

"But won't they get expelled?"

Kielle asks you guys afterwards... Honestly, you do not know the answer. Since the school is somehow lenient.. Your friends have brought guns to school and shot even some people, but they're still here.

You shrug. "They should be?" You bite on your burger, savoring the taste of it. As soon as you swallow it, you speak again, "But the school is really weird..." Saying those words, you see Alessio and Dante arriving.. You glance at the time and see that recess is almost over. A smile you give to them as you wave. Peach and Kielle slightly turn their heads to see the newcomers.

"Ooh! Alessio! Dante!" Peach happily greets them.. You don't miss out the fact that Peach acknowledged the guy she has sworn is her hatest person in her life. The silver-eyed man nods to her while Dante seems puzzled by the unexpected greeting. He does not reply to Peach though, causing her to give him a sulky glare. Asshole, the white haired girl bitterly thinks to herself.

"Hello," you murmur to them, smiling.

They take their seats.

"Why are you guys late?" you ask them. Dante does not seem happy...as he harshly glares at the table in front of him. Alessio doesn't respond as he just stares straight at you. Of course, Kielle notices it. He tries to ignore it by sipping on his drink. It is really funny how he's the one who gets uneasy when you're the one being stared by Alessio..

Your cheeks turn red as you focus on Dante. The blonde haired man scowls as he curses.

"Fucking teachers."

"Teachers?" You raise your eyebrow, confused.

Dante nods as he takes some fries from Peach. "Yeah — fuck them. They wouldn't let me leave the room unless I pass them my homework," he growls while he rudefully bites the food. Peach gives him a look of disgust, but he doesn't care. He is just too mad to care. You cannot help yourself but chuckle at his complaints.

"Geez, only because of that."

"Only because of that?!"

"I'm hungry!" he childishly exclaims.

Dante rolls his oceanic-blus eyes and tries taking another piece; but Peach already eats it all. "Buy your own!" she yells at Dante who only glares back at the girl. You don't want a nasty fight to happen before you, so you instantly give Dante your unfinished burger.

"Here. I'm not hungry anymore."

Dante is surprised by your offer but takes it. "Oh, um.." The man looks down at the burger before looking up at you again. He is speechless for a moment but later says those words of gratitude. "Thank you."

You smile. "Your welcome!"

Peach gapes at your nonchalance. Did you just — What? Turning to Kielle, she sees her cousin's bitter expression. Clearly, her cousin likes you; but what is he doing?! She knows that she has to do something. She elbows Kielle.. The latter looks at her.

What? His golden eyes say.

Peach lets out an uneasy chuckle.. "Are you really sure about that, (Y/N)? Giving Dante an indirect kiss?"  She questions, causing you and Dante to almost spit out the saliva inside your mouths. Your face turns red. You are embarrassed by the question your friend has thrown at you.. What the fuck!

"Indirect kiss? Such nonsense!" Dante stutters. Though Dante hopelessly fails to show  that he doesn't care with that face of his also burning.

Peach looks at her cousin who has his golden eyes wide from what she just did...  A single look on the food he is currently holding; the man instantly realizes what she is trying to do.

"You can have this," Kielle politely offers.

Dante scowls at him, pushing back his fries to him. "It's fine. I prefer burgers this time." His tone of voice's very hostile. It's clear that the guy did not want to accept any food from him.. He is about to bite on the cheese burger when someone snatches it from him.

Alessio.

Taking it from him, Alessio hands it back to you. "It's yours. He can buy his own burgers," he darkly says... sending Dante a look of disapproval. And the inferior realizes that he has done something wrong again. The blonde haired man supresses his urge to protest. Since protesting won't really do good for him.

Your expression is confused, but you retrieve the food... Blinking your eyes as you stare down at the burger, you hesitantly take a bite again. Kielle proceeds to eat those french fries of his while Dante bitterly looks at the food you guys ate.

Peach's once again quiet, but she isn't mad at you. Few seconds later, all of you have to go back to your rooms. Before you and Kielle begins to go, Peach asks for your dad's number.

"Huh, you want to message Dad?"

You are startled.

She sends you a cute smile while handing her phone to you. "Who knows. Maybe I can get Dad to agree. I am actually a convincing person."

You roll your eyes. "Oh, sureee."

"Just don't go stealing Dad from me," you tell her while you begin to type down your father's number. Peach lets out a fit of giggles, finding that funny. She smiles, softly shaking her head.

"Of course I won't, (Y/N)."
