"ah! ah! aaahhh! it hurts!!" Aria screamed in pain . Aria was a 18 year old firecracker ,never in control .Quick to cry, quick to judge, quick to get angry but very quick to smile too .It wasn't in her nature to hide her emotions. Therefore when the girl who stepped on her feet not only refused to apologize but also started picking a fight ,Aria was not the one to backdown.

"of course it does, it is what happens when you apply spirit on a raw wound, you should have thought about this before you picked a fight with that girl, seriously? are you an animal? who does that?" Fumed Lila, as she helped Aria clean her cut lip. Lila was one of Aria's bestfriends who was that one girl that had all the heads turned when she steps into a room, she , as Aria put it , 'radiated' beauty .

"okay! first of all ,she started . second of all i was defending my honor, did you see what she did? she took the drink out of my hand and had the audacity to pour it on my head and NOOOBODY, NOOOBODY pours water on the hair , that i spent the whole day trying to straighten and expects to walk the earth untouched" raged Aria punching the air upwards in slo-mo (yes, we are quite aware that she brings the mama to the drama and that is is quite ,um a tad bit cringy. Kindly bear with us ).

"Tch! anyways we have a test in the morning ,what are we going to do about it? "Lila asked.

"flunk it of course, but flunk in style" sighed Aria.

" why did we have to come to this party today? I am in the 'regret ' part of the night and I'm not a fan of it " Lila asked.

"don't worry, it wasn't for nothing ,you know we had to check 'it' today and we did. Anywaysss let's go home, I'm tired."

Mister Adrian Yates was sitting in his study waiting for his son to come home. Mister Yates was a tall, handsome man well in his 70's. He loved two things Power and Discipline, an odd combination but ultimately the two things that gave him his absolute desire -Control. So when he found out that his son, whom he had so finely brought-up had disobeyed him and run off to some cheap party ,it absolutely made him see red. He had to discipline his son, for his son's sake.

"Master Yates has arrived sir, He is with Miss White ,should I ask them to come visit you ,sir? Asked the butler, Mr. Jones, entering his master's study.

"just the boy" answered the cold man. " and bring me the stick"

Mr. Jones hesitated for a moment and left to bring his unfortunate young master in. "Master wants to privately talk with you young master ,please follow me to his study"

Julian hesitated for a moment took a deep breath, clenched his fist and followed the butler in, anticipating the worst.
