Caught

In about 30minutes after Lucretia got to the school, the bus pulled up in front of the school's bus stop. Philip hurried off and joined the rest of the students rushing into the school's compound.

He raced through the hallway to the classroom but didn't see Lucretia anywhere around. He scoffed out of anxiety and hurried back through the corridors to the locker room in search of Lucretia. Just as he got there, he saw Eugene and Mike leaning on their lockers, chatting.

"Hey guys..." He muttered hastily as he neared them. "Have you seen Lucretia anywhere around here?"

"Well– I saw her with Crystal and Mimie heading towards the library. Have you gone there to check?" Eugene queried.

"No. Thanks guys." He patted Eugene's shoulder and hurried off. "Hey Phil–" Mike called but he had already left. "Why is he in so much hurry?" He glanced sceptically at Eugene.

"And how am I suppose to know?" Eugene shrugged, "The last time I remember, we were both standing here when he walked up to us. You should use your head more often." He shoved his bag over his shoulders and headed out of the locker hall, taking the lead to the classroom.

"Hey wait up." Mike shouted and went after him.

Daisy sauntered into the washroom with Nikita and Nelly who wanted their questions answered following after her. "What have you planned on doing to Lucretia to prevent her from exposing us? Questioned Nelly as they followed her to the mirror in front of the sink. "Remember you promised to let us on it today."

She sighed as she dropped her purse with makeups on the sink and turned to lean on it, facing both Nikita and Nelly. "Come on guys–" She rolled her eyes, slightly raising her hands dramatically mid air. At that moment, the other girls in the washroom when they walked in strolled out; being done with whatever they came to do. "Well, I have planned on destroying that pretty face of hers." She turned back to face the mirror to have her makeup done.

"Wait what?" Nikita snapped in, staring at Daisy's face through the mirror. "Isn't that too much Daisy?"

"Yes Daisy," Nelly interrupted, adding up her voice "I think you're going to far with this."

"Sorry to bust your bubbles girls." She packed the makeups back into the purse and turned her gaze back to them. "But it's already done and you girls are on it with me. Come on, I have to go and meet up Ethane for the acid." She trod off, taking the lead.

Both Nikita and Nelly glanced at each other stunned. "Ugh..." Nelly scoffed sharply. "I can't believe this." She went after Daisy, followed by Nikita.

Meanwhile, Claudia was in one of the urinals when Daisy made her plans known to Nikita and Nelly without their knowledge. She was totally left in astonishment of how evil one can be. Getting hold of herself, she peeked through the door and when she was sure that they had left, she rushed out of the washroom to find Jayden. She hurried through the hallway but couldn't find him anywhere. Just as she rounded the corner that leads to the locker hall, she bumped into Philip. "Ouch." she let out a soft cry, rubbing her forehead.

"Oh sorry Claudia." He muttered. "I didn't see you."

Claudia hastily looked up, noticing how familiar the voice was. "Phil–" She uttered. Philip stared sceptically at her quite confuse. "Are you okay?" He queried.

"Of course I am but I doubt if Lucretia would be if we don't find her in time."

"Why?" He held her shoulders, staring right into her eyes. "What happened? Please tell me what's going on." She nodded sharply as she gulped down a loop of saliver. "Here is the thing." She started, relaying out all of Daisy's plans to him.

Philip stared at her stunned and lost of words. "I think you should go and find her now Phil?–" She hastily released herself from his mild grip as she took his hands into hers. "You should...." She was about to say something but before she could end it, Philip deftly snatched his hands and raced off to find Lucretia.

30minutes has already passed since Mimie, Crystal and Lucretia got into the library. Mimie glanced at her wrist watch and it was almost time for morning lesson. "I think we should get going now." She rose up picking her bag and textbook.

"Are you sure you don't want Philip in on this? At least let him know that you will be transferring back to Australia." Crystal requested as she shoved her bag over her shoulders.

Lucretia chuckled softly as she picked her books on the table. "Come on, let's go. I have to pass by the Principal's office before heading to class." She took the lead and Crystal and Mimie followed after. When they got to the hallway, Crystal and Mimie asked Lucretia to go ahead and take he lead to the Principal's office whiles they passed by their lockers before heading to class. "Alright, see you girls in class." She waved them and took the corridors which leads to the Principal's office.

Meanwhile, Daisy and her friends were hiding somewhere in the corridors to carry out their plans. Nelly sighed, brushing in her in apprehension. "I can't believe we're doing this."

Daisy who was peeking for any sign of Lucretia glanced back at her and shushed her up. Both Nelly and Nikita scoffed, slightly shaking their heads. Just then, Daisy spotted Lucretia. "She is coming." She added hastily. "You girls should shut it if you don't want us being caught."

With this said, they instinctively kept quiet. Daisy glanced at their faces and scoffed. "I finally got to shut you two up." She grumbled, turning her gaze back to their target. "She is here, she is here." She whispered, reaching for a small bottle from the front pocket of her bag. She was about to empty it's content on Lucretia when someone held her hand with the bottle. At that moment, Lucretia walked by without noticing them. Both Nelly and Nikita almost lost their balance seeing who the intruder was.

Daisy gulped down a loop of salver as she slowly lifted her eyes from the hands to the intruder's face. Her eyes instinctively flew wide opened as she hastily snatched her hands, leaving the bottle in his hands as she stepped back.

"Y–you?" she stuttered.
