THE NEXT DAY, MAYBELLINE COLLEGE**

"I can't wait for next week Monday seriously, luckily I have a VIP ticket, I'm sitting in front, Genova will look so cute, her stage outfit is still killer," Polly said, walking in the corridor with Trinidad.

"I can't attend" replied Trinidad

"What! You're an ANJELL" answered Polly.

"Yeah but...I have things to do that day" answered Trinidad.

"A real ANJELL will set everything aside just to attend, you have the VIP ticket, don't you?" Polly asked.

"Yes, but I'm not going" answered Trinidad.

"Anyway, at your convenience" Polly rolled her eyes and Trinidad got a call.

Red appeared immediately and Trinidad entered the restroom to take the call.

"Mom…I told you to put limits on your calls…I'm at school" she whispered.

"I'm sorry, I'm just tired, I'm resting and I decided to call you, are you okay in school?" her mother asked.

"Sure... Bye" she hung up and breathed hard.

She came out of the bathroom and met Red who was still talking to Polly.

"Seriously Red, can you stop stalking me? Yesterday at the mall...I saw you secretly following me too, I can stop you," Polly said.

"Stalking?, how daring, you stalking the great Polly Kang?, you're not even that beautiful," Trinidad added.

"I'm doing everything I can to make you mine, aren't you even going to appreciate my efforts by falling in love with me?" Red said, looking angry.

Polly smiled and pulled her closer, letting her lips play in front of his.

"Is this supposed to be some kind of punishment?" He whispered.

"Fortunately you know it's a punishment, stop bothering me when I have to take care of Izzy and Huey" she said, pushing him away slightly

"Gaja (let's go)" she said and Trinidad followed her.

"Izzy, Huey" Red smiled.

CLASS, 20 MINUTES LATER**

"Polly Kang" Mr. Bong called and she stood up haughtily.

"You didn't turn in your homework," he said.

Polly gave him a look I don't care.

"You get a penalty point," he said.

"Even better, what good grades are for anyway?" she sat down.

"I wonder what your future will be like, Polly Kang," Mr Bong said.

"What do you mean" answered Polly.

"You're a mess" replied Mr Bong

" What! "

"It's the truth" said Mr Bong and Polly stood up.

She started walking towards the speaker.

"Is she going to slap him?" Craig wondered.

"She's free to do whatever she wants, it's not her first time," Genova replied.

"Tough guy" smiled Reece.

"I wonder what she's going to do," Quincy said.

"Something nasty I think" replied Izzy.

Linabae crossed her arms, looking at Polly.

Polly came up front and wanted to slap the speaker but Molly held her back.

"Stop this crazy Polly" she said

"It's my bitch life, I have to teach her a lesson to bullshit me," Polly replied, struggling to free herself but another hand grabbed her, it was Craig's.

"You should leave if you keep disrupting the class," he said and started leading her out.

His bones are pretty damn strong but definitely not as strong as Craig's.

"Let me go !!"

"Let me go asshole!"

"Leave me!" She kept screaming until she was forced out.

Craig closed the door and came back to sit down.

Linabae kept looking at his composure, he's damn cool and cute at the same time.

“Reece Alejandro, you also get a penalty point,” Mr Bong said.

Reece just smiled.

"You are stars, you are the reason why the sons and daughters of all the rich personalities in Korea want to come to Maybelline, they all want to attend this school because of your faces, why can't you just imitate Genova ....is it so difficult?" said Mr. Bong.

Reece sighed without answering and Mr. Bong continued his lesson.

He wrote the topic on the whiteboard and was about to pursue the topic further when the door to the classroom broke.

The glass broke and Polly intervened, she actually broke it with a chair.

Everyone looked at her in amazement as she walked to her seat, she picked up her bag and looked at Genova before walking out.

"She's going crazy every day," Molly whispered.

Class ended after an hour and Linabae came to see Quincy and Izzy.

"Did you understand the lesson?" She asked.

"Of course the lecturer Bong is good," Quincy replied.

"If it's possible for two people to have the same voice, then you have Quincy Norbert's voice," Linabae said and Quincy smiled.

"Maybe" she said, hiding her clumsiness.

"I really don't understand what he thought, can you do me the favor of explaining again?" Linabae said.

"We don't mind" replied Izzy and she sat down with them.

They read together for almost thirty minutes and she nodded when they were done.

"I'm glad I came to you guys, now I get it," she said.

"It's okay, we're going to the cafeteria," Quincy replied.

“I would have liked to come with you, but I really don't feel like eating in the cafeteria,” she answered.

*That's more like you* Quincy thought.

"That means we'll see in the last class," Izzy said.

"Yes, it's in an hour." Bae smiled and left the class.

Izzy and Quincy also left the classroom, heading for the cafeteria.

“She's cool, don't you think? Izzy asked.

"Of course she is, I love her so much," Quincy replied.

"Ion thinks I'll be back at the show," Izzy said suddenly.

" For what?"

"I don't have enough money to buy the ticket," she replied sullenly.

"I'll get it for you, trust me," Quincy replied.

"It's dear Riri" said Izzy.

"I don't mind," Quincy replied.

"God, I love you so much" Izzy hugged her.

"It's nothing, I really want to go to the concert with you" Quincy smiled.

They broke it and continued their walk towards the cafeteria, suddenly bumping into Genova and Craig.

"Hey Riri" Craig smiled charmingly.

"Craig...what's going on?" quincy replied

"Not much, are you going to the cafeteria?" Craig asked.

"Of course, with my friend," she replied, holding Izzy's hand.

Craig looked at Izzy and her face popped into his memory, his eyes widening as he remembered part of it.

In fact, she carried and guided him with her arms, they were both walking somewhere and he was staggering drunk.

Then he detected that he was wearing the garment he was putting on during the orientation.

He looked at her sharply.

"Did you take me to the car? Orientation day?" He asked quickly.

"Why would I take you to the car, rich kids feel too important these days" Izzy scoffed and waved Quincy away.

"It's her face," Craig said confused, still trying to remember the rest of what had happened but it wasn't happening.

"I'll stop you with my life every time you talk about drinking again, now you see things," Genova said and Craig stared into space.

"Believe me, I saw her face, she really carried me," he said slowly.

"Of course," Genova replied sarcastically and turned, heading for the cafeteria.

"Where are you going?" Craig asked.

"I'll see you in class later, I have to go somewhere" he answered.

Craig was still standing there trying to remember everything when Bae bumped into him by mistake.

His milkshake fell and he looked up quickly.

"I'm sorry, sorry for getting in the way," he apologized and Bae just smiled.

" It's good, but are you okay? " she asked.

"Of course," he smiled.

"Uuum, if you don't mind, we can talk like friends, can't we?" she asked.

"Friends?, Oh... Yeah, I don't mind," he replied.

"After all, I'm a model like you, I was nominated to partner Quincy on his first shoot this weekend, I heard you were nominated too," she said. declared.

"Yeah, since it's a broad concept, it takes models to cover the background for her, she's the star anyway and I can't wait to meet her," he replied.

"She's my best friend" Bae bit her lip.

"I heard about it, you're so lucky to be her friend, I heard she only talks to you and she never talks unnecessarily," he said.

"Whoa, you know a lot about my best friend...well yes, it's all true, I'll introduce you to her on Saturday, she's adorable, believe me," she replied.

"She must be..." He smiled.

"So...we're friends now, aren't we?" " She asked.

"Sure, nice talking to you," he replied.

"Same feeling," she said, smiling.

"Are you going to the next class already?" He asked.

"Yes, what do you think?" She answered.

"Same, let's go" he said freely and she felt too much happiness in the pit of her stomach as she walked to class with him.

Craig started wondering again what exactly happened on orientation day as he walked with Bae.

"Izzy, what did she do to me? Or did I do something terrible to her while I was drunk? Why is she denying it?" asked.

CAFETERIA**

"Looks like you're hiding something from Craig," Quincy said immediately, they both settled down for lunch.

They are both sipping milkshakes.

"There's nothing to say," she replied, pouring out her milkshake.

"And you're not even going to tell me?" Quincy said.

"I'm sorry Riri, I just don't want to talk about it, he did something horrible to me" she answered.

"He vomited on you?" Quincy asked.

" No "

"He slapped you?"

" No"

"He hit you?"

"Not that," Izzy replied again.

“Okay, what exactly? »

"I sincerely carried him to his car but when we got to his car…." Izzy stopped and covered her face with her palms.

"I don't want to talk about it," she said childishly and gently slapped her forehead on the table.

"Okay… it's okay if you don't want to talk about it anymore, I won't harass you anymore I promise you," Quincy replied.

"Hey" Reece said suddenly and Quincy looked up quickly.

"Reece" she smiled.

"Can I take you somewhere?" he said and she smiled wider.

"Somewhere?, Where?"

"Come with me" he took her hand and lifted it.

He started dragging her out of the cafeteria.

Genova sits on one of the chairs, he covers his head with a hoodie but he really knows what's going on.

As soon as they passed his table, he put his leg on the way, Reece bumped into it and fell.

All the girls gasped and rushed over to him.

Reece just fell..

Is he okay?

Reece please be well

Help him up.

Genova took advantage of the fall and pulled Quincy out of the cafeteria.

He took her to the back and she jerked her hand away.

She pulled the hoodie off her head and smiled.

"So it's you," she said angrily.

"Yes, are you going to hit me?" He has answered.

"I saw how you put your leg in the way for him, it was just too late to stop him," she said.

"I was just trying to save you," he replied.

"Save me?, by hurting your brother?, people say he's the bad guy, but maybe that's not true because right now you're clearly the bad guy," she snapped. a dark look.

"He's trying to play with you, can't you see?, He's a flirt!, Listen, I don't like to poke my nose but I just kinda pity you, he's not nice, he tries to make you fall in love with him and then...

"I don't want to listen to you! Go away, don't appear in front of me again" she interrupted him and left him standing.

Genova sighed and looked at her hand.

"Why am I doing this?" He wondered.

Quincy arrived at the cafeteria and learned that he had been taken to the school clinic.

She rushes there and sees him in the first room, more than ten girls are with him.

She stood at the entrance, watching him.

"She's here" said one of the girls and they all came looking for her.

Ugly frump, you obviously knocked him down like that.

Your presence at Maybelline is a big deal, why don't you go and die?

Our Reece was hurt because of you.

You are ashamed to come here.

She kept backing away as they showered her with questions and insults.

"Girls, it's okay," Reece said, appearing behind her.

She looked at him and he smiled seductively.

"Are you OK?" she asked slowly.

"Of course, come" he said and took her hand, he pulled her towards an empty room.

"Do you have any idea who put a leg in the way for me?" He asked.

Quincy didn't swallow anything, remembering Genova.

Reece walked over and held her face.

Just feeling her soft palms on her face sent butterflies into her belly, they threw a big party there.

"Tell me what you know," he whispered.

"It's…it's…Genoa," she mumbled.

"Damn!, I just had a hunch," he said and let go of her face.

"I need to go somewhere," he said and started to leave but she held his hand.

"You are perfectly fine, aren't you?" " She asked.

"Sure Jolie, I'll see you around," he replied and left.

Quincy turned into a tomato, she rubbed her flushed cheeks.

"He called me pretty," she smiled.

She returned to class a few minutes before the last lesson and surprisingly, her bag and Izzy's were nowhere to be found.

"What's going on" she said.

"I met this on our table, I was waiting for you to come over so we could go together" Izzy said handing her a note.

*COME TO THE GIRLS' TOILET FOR YOUR BAGS* was written in bold.

"What is it about?" Linabae asked curiously.

"We'll be right back," Quincy replied and she nodded.

Quincy left class with Izzy and they went to the bathroom.

The pieces of their notes were what they found, it was torn into small pieces along with their bags.

It was littered on the bathroom floor.

"My grades," Quincy said, wanting to cry.

These are all she graded this semester and the grades she formed on her own.

"Who did that!, Who the hell did that!!" Izzy shouted.

"Obviously" Quincy replied and angrily headed for the door but it didn't open.

"And why isn't it opening?" she said, tugging at him forcefully.

Izzy joined him but it's still the same.

"Poly!" Quincy shouted.

Polly smiles from the outside, Red and Trinidad are with her.

"It's so much fun" Trinidad laughed.

"The flaming poison" Polly said and Red handed it to her.

She threw it down the toilet through the gap under the door.

Izzy and Quincy started coughing immediately.

The flames emanating from it choked, obstructed their breathing and they both fell, coughing so much.

"I think I'm about to die," Quincy said, teas escaping from his eyes.

"Me...too" Izzy choked on her words.

“If you survive…tell my tutor I love him so much, tell BTS I-hope I was a big fan of his, tell SUGAR BOYS Reece I’m his biggest fan too, and if he please tell my future husband to look for another lover..." Quincy coughed.

"You must be crazy" Izzy replied, blood already coming out of her nose but no response from Quincy.

She managed to look in his direction and Quincy is already unconscious, leaning against the wall.

"By the time they take a little breath, they'll both know the difference between life and death" Polly smiled and left with Trinidad and Red.

"Laugh!!!" Izzy screamed and coughed up blood, she started to pass out too.
