Chapter Six

When Lucas exited the class with Belle, he took to the stairs.

There he c*ged Belle under him just like he had done in the hallway of the staffs' office.

Luckily no students were passing by since it was still teaching hours.

So they were the only ones outside their class during learning periods.

Belle stared at anything but him; anticipating what he would do.

She couldn't even get to brush back her hair that had scattered while they rushed out of the class.

When it comes to escaping people by, she was a damn sight clever than anyone.

But their closeness was something outside the box.

Belle was a good deal frightened that she might give space for another swell while trying and that wasn't worth it.

So she stayed.

Lucas seemed to be lost while staring immensely at her like an A-grade fool.

Cleaning up his palm with his trouser, he placed the strands of hair that were distracting him from viewing her pretty face behind her ear.

He smiled at her which made Belle glanced at him.

"I like you" Lucas confessed to her face.

"..."

Belle's jaw dropped in disbelief; she then laughed hysterically in satisfaction before looking up to him.

His curtailed confession only took few seconds opposed to an hour of reading a love letter.

He was the teenage boy whom no girl would abash.

And he wished it would be the same for Belle too.

She quickly adjusted herself when she saw he was serious.

"You were joking right? She asked glaring at his blank face to confirm.

"Do I look like I'm joking here? He spoke gently as his voice got hoarse.

She pouted her lips and glanced over his shoulders.

He stared closely at her lips gulping in hard before licking at his.

"You are wearing a shiny lip gloss today" he complimented while pocketing his hands.

Belle let out a little laugh.

"I always do "

Really!

But he never noticed.

By now he had shifted from her and she was no longer having her back on the wall.

"You shouldn't have applied it because I was going to make it wet" he spoke with eyes brimming with mischief.

Belle chuckled and hit him playfully on the chest.

He smiled a bit at that.

"Can I kiss you? He queried out of the blues with eyeball moving left to right as he waited for her reaction.

His confidence was overwhelming too.

"Uhn?" She exclaimed with her heart beating so fast against its ribcage.

There was the way his request rolled perfectly out of his mouth that caused her to feel a tingly sensation; probably because of the passion driving his heart desire.

She felt shy and couldn't look him in the eyes so she fixated her gaze on his Adams apple.

What on earth was wrong with him!

"Please" he muttered seductively at her.

Finally, she rose her head up to meet with his lewd filled eyes.

Then and there; she bit her bottom lip, nodding.

Lucas hesitated but later moved his hand to the small of her back, clutching her uniform as gentle as he could, to bring her close to him.

"Wait, are we going to do that here? She challenged him with popped out eyes.

Lucas stared around feeling good about what was about to come.

"Yes, this is the safest I know"

"What if we get caught?" Belle reminded him.

He could sense how nervous she was; it must have been her first try.

"Nahh, we won't just trust me on this" he reassured her.

Belle shut her eyes, tilted her neck slightly and let out a gentle sigh.

Lucas didn't waste time as he placed his lips on her neck, sulking at it.

When his lips made contact with her skin, it felt like that was the most softest part of her body and he became addicted towards it immediately.

More addictive than his drugs.

"Hmmmmm" she moaned scratching at his back.

Belle could feel his smile on her neck after she let yet another moan before he went rough on her.

It must have been the climax because she increased the speed at which she scratched at his back and let out a very loud moan.

At that moment, she threw away all precautions and it didn't matter if they were caught.

Lucas then stopped abruptly as he made to give them the space to breathe.

And when he made to resume the hot kiss from her mouth, Belle halted him by pushing him slightly by the chest.

"Did I hurt you?" He let out worriedly, looking over the hickey by her neck but she went mute.

He then glanced into her eyes and he was still able to see the glint that she still wanted it.

Lucas permitted a honed sigh and held out her hands " I promise to go gently this time".

He pinched between his brows when he stated that; he was too obsessed to go gently.

But he was going to give it a try.

Again he attempted to kiss her on the lips and this time she didn't withdraw.

As Lucas kissed her lips with such a clamorous smack, she couldn't reciprocate it because she doesn't know how to but he was willing to be patient with her.

Instead of him to stop and start teaching how to respond to the kiss, he slid back his hand down to her punani and gave it a squeeze.

Belle jolted and made to complain but the j*rk with her captured her lips immediately she opened up kissing the brain out of her.

Lucas moved with her like he wanted to take something but he pressed their bodies together heatedly against the wall; smooching her recklessly.

Belle could feel how warm and soft his lips were, he parted them slightly allowing her tongue to slip in the way he taught her.

She tasted like the mint she had before he dragged her there and he couldn't seem to get enough of her.

"Hmmmmm" he groaned in pleasure, feeling how hard his...

Lucas went as far as draping one of her long legs over his hip whilst groping it.

Belle wondered if they were still kissing or they were already into the real sin.

She soon pulled out and they stopped from pushing their wants any longer.

"Thank you" Lucas blurted out to Belle who doesn't look shy again.

She was now resting her head on his chest as she wrapped her hands around his waist.

Unknowingly to them, some students were now roaming around the staircase.

Two junior females who stood abaft them oohed and aahed at them making them to disengage quickly.

Unfortunately for the girls, they were not with their phones, so what ever thing they speak of to their mates won't be believed easily unless a video was shown.

Belle was glad they didn't see their make out session.

"Let's go" Lucas mumbled to her as he began dragging her hand; leading her off the stairs.

Belle stopped, freed her hands and shook her head before whispering to him.

"I need to fix my make up, I look unkept" she told him.

"Oh; okay go ahead, I will wait for you " Lucas remarked as he leaned against the stairs rail while urging her to go ahead.

"No I don't like that, what do you want others to start thinking about us?" She quaked at him.

"They can think of anything, I will just..." He was saying but when he watched her, he found his legs trekking to the class.

When he was out of sight, she blushed intensely.

Belle turned to the direction of the bathroom but someone held her back; she thought it was Lucas.

But it was John.

"Is anything the issue?" She queried after seeing who held her back.

John stood, pocketing his hands as he stared at her.

"Did he hurt you? He asked while searching her face.

"N...no what happened? Why are you asking? She stuttered, blinking her eyelashes repeatedly.

"Okay... let see what we can do to this" John said ignoring her questions once more.

"Ouch, I'm okay" she whined as he touched the swell.

"No you are not, if you were then you won't be complaining" he retorted as he closed the gap between them.

"Let's go and get this treated " he said and start pulling her.

"Excuse me" she snapped at him releasing her hand away from his.

This made him stare at her like he was hurt.

"I'm sorry but you don't have to worry about me " she noted made to walk away but John halted her.

"Who gave you an hickey? He interrogated and her eyes widened.

"Hmmm...some insect bit me" she muttered and let out a fake smile.

"Some insect? He spoke doubting her words.

"Yes... excuse me" she said and walked away immediately.

"F*ck" he said as he watched her walk away.

🪄🪄🪄

One month later

"Oh goodness, how come I forgot this formula" Belle said to her self as she scribbled jargons on her paper with pen in hand.

It was their exam day; and she had prepared hard than anyone but the only problem was that it seemed the exams decided to take a harder turn.

They were inside an air conditioned class but she was feeling like she was on some hot seat.

John stared at her; they both were partnered up.

"Why do you behave like you have issues with the paper? He requested from her, whispering.

But she looked up at him and smiled.

When she bent her head down, Belle let a scowl escape her throat while she held the pen tight.

This was so bad for her.

John watched her.

She was desperate but can't seek help.

He sighed gently and continued writing, probably he should just leave her to crack up some answers for herself.

Forty minutes gone and he was almost done; but Belle wasn't.

He glanced over her work.

Alas! She had no ink on the piece of sheet.

"The f*ck" he cursed under his breath while tearing a rough sheet.

He wanted to pen down answers for her when he heard her sobbing.

He heard her sniffs and quickly start scripting away on the paper.

"Forty minutes more" the invigilator spoke to the class.

John increased his speed on paper than he can ever imagine.

When he was done, he called out to Belle as he handle it over to her.

"Hey" he began whispering to her causing Belle to rise up her head and cleaning the tears from her eyes.

She looked up to him and he almost mistake her blood shot eyes for Lucas's.

She could have gotten some drugs from Lucas since he noticed they had become close after he had encounter her by the stairs.

Those two have something up their sleeves.

"Here, quickly write this down" he said to her as she watched him pass her the paper silently.

"You are welcome" He told her and smiled.

She nodded with a wary smile and began writing as fast as she could.

Meanwhile, Lucas was seated at the back sleeping.

He was done after writing 'LOSERS'on his paper.

He was no bookworm neither was he an average.

And he doesn't care because he could still be promoted.

His money will work him well.

"Time up" the teacher said while Lucas sat upright to pass his papers forward.

When the teacher left, Belle thanked John.

"Thank you so much, I could have failed if not for you" she appreciated him and he nodded staring at her.

She turned back to check on Lucas, and he gave her a thumps up.

Someone that didn't write anything on his paper.

Belle smiled at him believing he did justice to his work.

There was no one in the class that doesn't know about their closeness.

"Why do you keep making her feel like you did well? Ben asked disappointed in him.

He scoffed and rested his head on the table.

They might have been partners in being bullies but they knew they were better than him.

His rely on money was unbearable.

Ben looked at his others before he glanced forward to see Belle.

Perhaps they should tell her that Lucas didn't do anything to his exams.

"Don't even think of telling her anything"Lucas warned as he kept his head low.

"Hmmph " Ben scoffed as he looked away.

☃️☃️☃️☃️

"Oh why do I have to come second to last place again? I promise to take the fourth position " Ben whined as he pulled his front hair.

He tugged at his hoodie bitterly.

The exams were over and they were checking their results pasted on the announcement board outside their class.

Belle burst out of her class when she heard that they were already checking results.

She wanted to tag Lucas along with her but when she glanced to his area; he was already napping.

Lucas heard Ella telling Belle to go check her results.

Upon hearing that, he knew he was in trouble and pretended to be asleep so she would not make him follow her.

He was sure going to be at the last place but nevertheless he was at rest.

When he realized she was no longer in the class, he also stepped out but not with the aim of going over his results but to be on the lookout for Belle.

She was insáne when she had one in mind.

"Oh look who's at the last place, king of the class" Ben mocked at Lucas name which was at the last position of the list.

He then laughed with the others and while he was at it, he held someone and turned.

His eyes widened and he shouted at Belle who was running towards them,obviously excited.

"Belle come quick and have a look" he waved at her to come fast.

Belle was rejoicing in her mind, seeing that someone was urging to come see her score made her believe that she passed so well.

"Okay... let's see how far I went" she said without staring at Ben again as she reached there.

"Belle Alfenso" she muttered fearfully as she traced her hand to find her name.

Ben face dropped, he wasn't expecting to get ditched for something else.

"That was not what I called you for"

"Hi"

It was John who just arrived, he had a radiant smile on as he stared at her.

And he was looking extra dashing. She noticed.

"Hi" she replied elevated.

"Here to check your score? He finally queried her when he came to stand by her side.

"Hmmm,yes" she blurted out and nodded nervously.

John didn't stress himself much as what he only did was to look up as usual to meet his name staring back at him.

He heaved gently growing inquisitive; he was expecting a scream from Belle since she came second place but non came on.

John wanted to look her full in the face but he stood speechless watching her staring down at other scores.

Was she anticipating to be at the last?

He sighed and faced her head up.

"A star was not supposed to stare down" he interjected.

"See where you belong " he added.

"SECOND POSITION " the wordings stared across her eyes and she was finding it difficult to scream.

She closed her mouth, staggered a bit back and stared back at the board.

She came second place after John.

She wasn't predicting such score.

Then it followed. Her loud piercing shout of joy!

John looked fixedly at her as he tried to block his ears from the noise.

Even Lucas that was watching from his hidden place from the stairs closed his ears.

She did not even know when she hugged John tightly.

👥Omg! When did she start seducing boys?

🗣️ It's no longer Lucas but John?

👥This girl is so cheap

Lucas eyes grew heavy, his forehead creased into a frown and he was compelled to stay away from the stairs.

John smiled at her and patted her hair which greatly prepossessed her.

Didn't the kiss mean anything to her? Lucas sighed while he began pondering.

This caused lots of murmurings to generate.

It was now the school against John.

Now the students were out snapping them together.

Why could he choose a low life over rich girls that surrounded him?

How come his choice were rock bottom?

He diverted his attention when he realized the crowd was focused on them.

"What can I do for you people? He asked and he felt Belle loosened her arm from his.

Her eyes glued at the numerous phones that were present to take their images.

What have she done!

John hastily covered her view while he rebuked the students.

"You people should excuse me" he told them but they stood their ground.

👥 Senior why her?

🗣️She has Lucas, let her be.

🗣️I don't know he's chosing a low class.

"Get away before you see my other side" he warned but they refused although some were already excusing him.

"Get out!!" He shouted fiercely and they scampered away.

Lucas stood with a hand in his pocket: scoffing.

"I don't know that you can do that too" Belle said astonished.

"Oh yeah, it's no big deal " he said and looked at her, glad that she was still around.

"Oh let me get you this" she searched her pocket and brought out a card.

"It's little but accept my appreciation" she offered him.

"Coffee?" He questioned her.

"Hmmm...come when you are less busy" she spoke to him.

"Your workplace???" He pried again and she nodded.

"Oh I have to check something one more time" she bellowed at him.

Meanwhile, when Lucas heard that his eyes extended in size and start walking away but it didn't take time before he heard his name.

"Lucas!!!!"

"How dare you come last again? She yelled after him in hot pursuit.

He ran away as far as he could before she could reach him.
