Are you interested?

"Yeah, what is it?", Ava replied without paying much attention.

"Are you interested in that nerd?"

Ava was shocked at Allen's question.

"Wha..what are you talking about?" Ava stuttered as she did not expect this.

"Haha, why are stuttering? I just asked a simple question because I was curious." Allen smiles.

"No, Are you crazy? Is that even a question? Why would I be interested in him? He is just my prey. Didn't you see me bully him? Are you...?" Ava spoke in one breath when Allen cuts in.

"Woah, woah, woah... Calm down. I just asked a simple thing. You don't have to act so hyper. At least take a breath or something." Allen puts his hands up as a sign of giving up.

Ava sighs.

"But don't you think he is cute? Olivia and him were looking nice when she you know, grabbed him in the class. He got all flustered and turned red." Allen adds.

"What's that got to do with anything?", Ava turns her head towards the window trying to hide her face as her face heat up.

"Or have you changed preferences Allen?"

"Hahaha, no no I did not.", Allen laughs. "Especially, when he is supposed to be someone else's, I would not.", Allen mumbles the last part.

"What?"

"What?", Allen asked.

"You said something?"

"No, nothing.", Allen shrugged his shoulders.

"Alright, let's go inside then." Ava said as they reached home.

George brought Noah back to his apartment. He sat him down on his bed.

"I am going to stay with you until your leg heals.", George said as he brings water for Noah.

"What? No, you don't have to. I can take care.", Noah said as he struggled to get the bag from the chair to get the medicines.

"Yeah, I can see that.", George rolls his eyes and goes to Noah and gives him the medicines and sat down beside him.

"Thanks Georgie, my best buddy. Thanks for taking care of me.", Noah said as he side hugged George.

"What's gotten into you? Are you really my Noah? Noah hates hugs, especially when it is from me.", George acts like he got startled.

"Haha, come on. I am not that bad.", Noah laughs seeing George's drama.

"Anyway, I am going to live here."

"But I can...."

"I am not asking, I am telling you. Okay?", George said with a firm look on his face.

"Okay. If you say so, I can't deny you anyway.", Noah sighs in defeat.

George hugs him which brings smile to Noah's face.

Gray, Cole and Olivia reach the school parking lot. Olivia frowned to see a punctured tyre of her car.

"Who the hell did this?" she said angrily.

"Someone who does not know it's our Oli's car. Otherwise, they would definitely not mess up with you if their life is dear to them.", Cole said playfully.

"Ah.. whatever, How am I supposed to go home now?"

"Don't worry. I will call the mechanic, leave the car here, they will see to it. I will drop you.", Gray puts his arm around Olivia's shoulder to calm her down.

"But you guys live on the opposite side."

"Chill, We can drop you off.", Cole said.

They were getting in the car when Cole gets a call.

"Who is it?" Gray asked.

"It is school administration number though. Let's see what they want.", Cole said after seeing the number.

"Hello."

The person on the other side spoke for a half a minute.

"Ah, alright. I will be there." Cole ends the call.

"What is it?", Olivia enquired.

"The school administration team has some problem with my course form submission. They were filling up my details when the system messed up. So, I will have to go there."

"Okay, let's go." Gray said.

"Oh, no, no. You guys go. Till the time I complete all these formalities, you drop Oli and come back.", Cole said.

"Then tell them we will get it done tomorrow.", Olivia said.

"I told them that but they said they have to submit these details by today."

"Okay, we can finish your work first and then leave together.", Gray insists.

" It's alright Gray. They said it will take time. So, you go fast and come back fast. Or, it will be night before we leave.", Cole pushes Gray and Olivia towards the car.

"Okay, okay." Gray sighs.

"Call me when you are done and wait in the office okay?", Gray said as he drives the car away.

Cole starts walking towards the school building. He was about to exist the parking lot when suddenly David appeared in front of him.

"What's up, Cole?", David smiled.

"Oh, David. I am a bit in hurry. I don't have time to deal with you right now." Cole started walking.

David stood in front of Cole and blocked his path.

"What do you want?", Cole said totally annoyed.

"You do know what I want."

David went closer to Cole and grabbed his hand. Cole was about to punch David when someone grabbed his other hand too.

Cole turned around to see David's gang members surrounding him. He panicked a little but did not show this to David.

"Let me go or else...", Cole said fuming with anger.

"Oh, I am scared.", David pretended to hide his face as he made fun of Cole.

"You really think I would let you go.", David got closer to Cole and grabbed his jaw tightly.

Cole struggled to free his hands from David's men.

"Do not struggle so hard. You can't get away from me. It's useless."

David knows Cole is weak when it comes to physical fight.

"Take him in the car.", David ordered his men.

Cole struggled and free himself and punched one of the men holding him. He started fighting but he could not for long when David came and punched him in the stomach.

Cole fell down on the ground.

"I told you not to struggle. It's useless.", David said as he grabbed Cole's hair.

"Put him in the car and tie him up.", David walks towards the car.

David's men hold Cole and start dragging him to the car. Cole struggled but could not fight back.

David's men put him in middle with one guard sitting on each side. David sat in the front seat.

Cole was still struggling to break free.

"I told you to tie him up."

"LET GO OFF ME.", Cole shouts.

David's men tied Cole's hand tightly with a rope and attached them to a hook under the seat of the car.

"David don't mess with us. You will surely die this time. I will kill you.", Cole said angrily tugging on the ropes trying to get free from them.

"Oh, poor baby, are you angry? Should I get scared off you? Hahaha.", David burst out into laughter.

"Shut up! You really want to see your end, don't you? My friends will not leave you alone. You just wait.", Cole was struggling so much.

"Ugh... you talk to much.", David said as he tried to find something in the dash board.

"Here we go." David pulls out a duct tape.

Cole moved his face away trying to avoid the duct tape.

"Hold him idiots.", David shouts.

The guards held Cole's face tightly on place as David puts on the duct tape.

"Now, that's like a good boy.", David ruffles Cole's hair.

Cole moved back feeling disgusted. He was scared but did not show.

'Gray, where are you? Please come fast. Urgh..'
