The Ace and The Four kings

Xyrine Jean's POV

"Ugh! Where am I?" When I opened my eyes, I found myself back at home.

"Shit. My head hurts!" I was about to massage my temples when I felt something on my head. "Wait, what is this? Why do I have a bandage on my head?"

"Good morning, cuz. You're awake already. Are you okay?"

"AAAAH!" My heart almost jumped out of my chest when Ella suddenly appeared in front of me. "Can you not just pop up like that? You almost gave me a heart attack! Wait, what happened last night?" I rubbed my head because of the pain.

"Wait, cuz. Don't tell me..." She stood up and waved her hand, then placed her hand on my shoulder. "Xyrine! It's me, Ella, your cousin! cuz, don't tell me you've lost your memory! noooo!"

I shot her a glare. 'What a dramatic queen. '

"Hehe! Just kidding! You can't take a joke anymore, anyways, you lost consciousness after what happened last night."

"Last night?" I looked off into the distance.

'Ah, right! I remember now.'

When I got out of the car, I suddenly felt dizzy. After that, I couldn't remember what happened next. All I could recall was Spade's face. "Ah shit! Erase! Erase! Why, of all faces, did I remember that crazy one?"

"What were you thinking when you did that?" My attention returned to her. Of course, they were both in the car—her and Louren. I didn't want anything to happen to either of them. I mean... Alright, whatever!

"Nothing. Forget about it." I lay back down.

"By the way, I have good news. The good news is we're not getting kicked out, but... there's a problem."

"A problem?"

"The problem is... well, you know..."

"What problem?" My brow furrowed.

"Did you forget that the race didn't continue last night because of the accident? So that means no one won."

"Then why did you say earlier that we're not getting kicked out? What's the problem?"

"The problem is, we need to show up in Montreal now."

"And why?! Did they see what happened to me? Don't they have any consideration for me?!" I got out of bed and walked to the bathroom to take a shower because it seemed like there was nothing I could do.

"Hehe, Xyrine, there's more of a problem."

"What?" I grumbled.

"Well, the thing is... um... it's about..." KNOCK KNOCK!

I looked at the door when I heard someone knock. Since I was closer to the door, I opened it.

"What is it—"

"Hi, good morning." A smiling person greeted me at the door.

I felt like I froze for a few seconds, but when I realized who it was, I quickly closed the door.

'Wait. Was that real? What I saw? No! It must've been my eyes playing tricks on me! Yeah, it was just my eyes playing tricks!'

I opened the door again to confirm what I saw.

"How are you?" He smiled again.

"Huh?"

"AHH!" I screamed. 

I slammed the door faster than lightning and rushed to the mirror. When I saw my hair all over the place and dried saliva on my cheek, I almost lost my soul.

"AHHHHHHH!" I screamed again, I quickly run to Ella. "WTF?! Why is he here? And how did he know where we live?" I angrily whispered to her.

"Cuz, sorry! He was the one who drove us home last night. I didn't tell you earlier that he was going to pick us up. I'm really sorry. I didn't know he had concerns for me." She replied, her face turning slightly red.

"What?" My brow furrowed.

'Why didn't she tell me that Louren has been outside all this time? This is so embarrassing!'

"AHHHHHH!" I screamed again because of how embarrassed I was.

After taking a shower, I quickly changed and replaced my bandage. When I went downstairs, I found Louren and Ella laughing while talking. When Louren looked at me, I immediately looked away.

I don't know why, but suddenly what happened earlier flashed in my mind. "Arg! So embarrassing!"

I ignored them and continued walking. When I reached the door, I spoke up. "I'll go ahead."

As I was about to leave, Louren suddenly blocked my way. "Hey! I came here to see if I could pick you up. What I mean is, if that's okay with you."

His smile made me look away. 'Arg! why the hell I am embarrassed? and Why does he keep smiling like that?'

"No, thanks! I have my car," I rejected him. 

"Hey, cuz, don't you only use a bike?"

I shot Ella a glare. 'Should I just strangle her?'

"Then, I'll walk!" I replied and started walking again, but Louren blocked my way once more. "Aaaah! I'm getting so annoyed!"

"Please, I insist," he said seriously.

I took a deep breath. "Fine!" I reluctantly answered because it seemed like he wouldn't stop. I got into the car, with Ella in the shotgun seat, and Louren driving. During the drive, they just kept laughing. I closed my eyes to avoid joining them.

When Louren laughed again, I felt a strange urge to open my eyes. Slowly, I opened one eye, and as soon as I did, my gaze met the rearview mirror, and...

"Shit!" I immediately closed my eyes. 'What's his deal? Why is he staring?!'

I don't know why, but my chest suddenly tightened, I just winced.

Montreal University

Parking Area

"Cuz, I'll go ahead, I'm already late. Louren, thanks! See you around." She blushed deeply when Louren nodded at her.

'Ugh! Crazy Ella, she left me behind.

I was about to take a step to get away when Louren suddenly grabbed my arm.

"Did I do something wrong?"

Did he do something wrong? Wait, let me think. "Uhmm... Is it wrong to go to someone's house super early? Well, actually, I don't care. Just let me go," I said sarcastically.

"Sorry, I just wanted to thank you for what happened last night—"

"Go ahead, thank me. I'm going to be late," I cut him off.

'Late? When was the last time you arrived on time?' I wanted to slap myself for what I just said.

"Do you hate me this much?" His tone suddenly turned serious.

"What?" My tongue seemed to freeze at his words. "I mean, why would I hate you?" I responded, frowning.

"Then let me thank you for saving me."

Since I wanted to escape the awkward situation, I just nodded. I was stunned when he suddenly smiled.

'Is he in a toothpaste commercial?' "Can you thank me already?" I muttered in annoyance.

I waited for her to speak when suddenly, he leaned in toward me and quickly planted a kiss on my cheek.

"What, what? WHAT WAS THAT?!" My eyes widened as I stared at him.

"Thank you." He smiled.

"What?! Are you—"

"PDA in a public place, huh?" We both turned to look at the person who spoke.

Before I could recover from what happened, Lucifer nephew already appeared right in front of us.

"What's up?" Louren greeted Spade.

"Are you okay?" Spade asked in return.

I didn't know who he was asking, but I was the one with the bandage on my head.

"Yes?" I answered.

"I'm not asking you, idiot."

What? My senses were finally awakened by the sharp words of the guy who suddenly appeared in front of us. 'This guy clearly lacks moonlight. Well, why would he ask if I'm okay? He doesn't care about anyone else. Hypocrite.'

"I was a little gloomy a while ago, but I feel better now," Louren answered, waving at Spade before he turned to look at me.

'Seriously, what's with these two?'

"Tss! Stop it. It's disgusting!" Spade muttered with a frown.

"Haha! Anyway, I'll go ahead, bro," Louren tap Spade on the shoulder and waved at me. "I'll go first, Xyrine. See you later," he said, smiling at me.

After he left, I suddenly hiccupped. 

"Yuck! What was that?" Spade said, disgusted.

"You're the one who's yuck. I'm leaving!" I turned my back on him.

"And where the hell do you think you're going?" He continued as I kept walking as though I didn't hear him. "Hey! I'm still talking to you! Stop!"

'No, I'm not hearing anything.' I kept walking.

"HEY! DON'T YOU DARE TO STEP MORE, MISS RULE BREAKER!"

'Rule breaker? Tss. Whatever!' I didn't stop walking.

"I SAID, STOP!"

"What's your problem, YOU ARROGANT JERK?!" Finally, I stopped.

Great, all the students in the parking lot turned to look at us.

"W-what? What did you just say?" He asked with a furrowed brow.

"ARROGANT JERK!" After I shouted that, I turned around. I had no time for him.

"STOP!" I heard him yell again.

"NO!"

"Stop!"

"I DON'T WANT TO!"

"Stop!"

"FUCK YOU!"

"DO SO AND STOP THERE!"

"WHAT THE HELL? ARE YOU CRAZY—" I gasped when, in a flash, he was right in front of me.

"I told you before. I get everything I want." After saying that, he suddenly lowered his head, which caused me to move away.

'Seems like he and his friends share the same brain cell. Why do they always like to corner people?!'

"WAAAAH!!" My stomach flipped when he suddenly picked me up like a sack of rice.

"F**K YOU! PUT ME DOWN! IF YOU DON'T LET GO OF ME RIGHT NOW—" I screamed again.

"What? You'll f**k me?"

"Shut up! And put me down!" I slapped his back, but it seemed like it didn't bother him.

"QUIET!"

I just closed my eyes, knowing that almost every student we passed was staring at us.

'Fuck! This is so embarrassing! And where is this crazy guy taking me?'

I kept shouting until I noticed we were in front of the elevator. I sighed in relief when I saw that it was full of students.

"Hey, someone, help m—"

"All of you, out!"

'What?!' When I peeked into the elevator, it was already empty, and when I looked at the hallway, the students were rushing to leave. 'What the?!'

"HEY, HELP ME!" I screamed, but no one paid attention.

"You are too loud."

"Too loud your face! You jerk! Put me down now!" I screamed at him.

"Dream on.."

"What?! You've really lost it!"

After a while, we reached the 6th floor. I read the sign on the door that said "STUDENT COUNCIL OFFICE."

Wait, this doesn't feel right. As soon as he opened the door, my jaw almost dropped when I saw students having a meeting inside.

'Ah shit. This is really embarrassing!' I quickly closed my eyes.

"ALL OF YOU, OUT!"

As soon as he said that, in the blink of an eye, the room was empty. 'Seriously, what's with them?!'

"Jerk! Let me down—Ouch!" I grabbed my backside when he suddenly dropped me to the floor.

"Welcome to the student council room, Miss rule breaker." He grinned as he stood in front of me.

"Ha! Big mistake dropping me like that! Now, get ready!" I was about to step up to kick his face when my foot got caught on some cable.

My eyes widened when I realized where I was about to fall.

'No... no... don't.'

"NOO!" I screamed, but it was too late.

"Enjoying on my top, huh?" He grinned as, in a flash, I ended up on top of him.

When I saw the position we were in, I immediately scrambled to get up.

'What in the world... why did I land on top of this jerk?!'

I bit my lip. Before he could say anything crazy, I ran out of the room. 'Aish! Wait! I shouldn't have run like this! My dignity!' I quickly turned my back.

"SPADE!" I called out to him.

The surprise on his face when he saw me come back was clear, but he immediately smirked.

"Yes, sweetie?"

"Sweetie? Sweetie your ass! I'LL KILL YOU!" I yelled.

"Be my guest." He smirked, the corner of his lip curling.

"AAHH SHUT UP, YOU IMBECILE!" I quickly turned and ran away.

"Enjoying on my top?"

AHHHHHHH! KILL ME NOW.

Spade's POV

"Hey, Spade! You've been grinning ever since you got here. Where were you earlier?" Ren called out to me, but I ignored him.

"It's all over campus that you carried that babe all the way to the student council office," he added.

I immediately looked at Ten. "Who's your babe?" I furrowed my brows.

"Uh, who else? The one who's going to be my girlfriend soon. Xy—"

"If you don't want your sinful tongue ripped out, then stop blabbering nonsense." Everyone turned to look at me.

"Woah, chill, bro," he said, clearly stunned.

From the furrow of my brows, I suddenly remembered what happened earlier and burst into laughter.

"For real, what's going on?" Ren asked curiously, while Ten and Louren just stared at me.

I avoided their gaze.

"Sweetie? Sweetie, your ass! I'LL KILL YOU!"

"PFFT!" I laughed even harder, recalling her flushed face. 'What an interesting fellow.'

"Tell me, did anything happen in your office?" Monique asked suddenly, if she hadn't spoken, I wouldn't have noticed she was there.

I was a little surprised when Ten reached out and touched my forehead. "Seriously, dude, are you sick?"

"Touch me not," I pushed his hand away.

"Sure, you're acting more moody than a girl with a mood swing," Ren commented with a laugh.

I just ignored them.

"By the way, what's your plan with her?" he asked.

"You told us last night that you wouldn't get them kicked out. But I know you have plans," Ten added, while Louren simply looked on.

I grinned. "You'll find out soon."

CAFETERIA

Xyrine Jean's POV

"GRRR. You know what? I'm seriously going to pull that girl's hair who Spade carried to the student council office earlier," Ella muttered, stabbing her fork into the bread in front of her

I flinched when I heard her comment. 'Ugh, that moron again.' I just wanted to puke every time I remembered his face.

"Enjoying on my top?"

'Arg!'

I tightly shut my eyes, so frustrated that I wanted to flip the table.

"Hey, the Four Kingssss!"

Automatically, I pulled my cap lower when I heard the name of their group.

"Damn! They're annoyingly handsome," I heard whispered among the students around me. 'Pathetic blind fools!' I wanted to shout.

I pulled my cap down even further, hiding my face. I refuse to see their annoying faces.

Minutes passed, and I started to wonder why it suddenly became so quiet. Slowly, I lifted my head and nearly choked when I saw the four of them standing right in front of me.

'Ugh! What's with their arrogance? Why won't they just leave me alone?'

"What now?" I asked angrily.

"Well, I just wanted to talk about this earlier, but you ran off," Spade said seriously as he took a step closer to me.

"Can you just spit it out? And please, don't come any closer," I said irritably.

"Why not?" he asked as he finally got close enough to me, and before I could react, he grabbed my cap and lifted it up. "I have good news and bad news. What do you want to hear first, sweetie?"

'Again with the freaking endearment.' "Good news, and stop calling me sweetie, you dumbfvck."

"Why? Too sweet?"

"Drop it already," I frowned.

"Right, right, you're too grumpy. Anyway, be glad, you and your friends can stay here at Montreal."

'Tss, should I celebrate? What's so great about that? It would've been better if he kicked us out. I've known about that since earlier. Stupid.'

"And the bad news?"

He smirked before answering. Arg! Why does he look so punchable?

"Replace your friend as my toy. Be my mistress."

I almost spat out everything I ate after hearing what he said.

WHAT?

Me? A toy? A mistress?
