“Back off my territory… He’s mine” Harmony said bossily.

Angelo’s eyes widened… Did he just hear correctly??

Angelo blinked as he stared at Harmony then at the girl who was literally fuming in anger.

“You b*tch!! F**k you!! The both of you!” The girl spatted and stormed off.

Harmony smirked triumphantly but her eyes slowly began widening when she realized what she just said.

👥 What did I just hear??

👥 Her territory? Are they really dating like the rumors have been saying??

👥 That’s so cute!!

Harmony swallowed hard, just the thought that Angelo was still standing behind her was enough to escalate her nervousness.

Without turning back, she made to run off as usual but Angelo was quick to grab her forearm. He swiftly turned her to him.

As expected, he still had the shocked look on his face. His mind was already going crazy at what he just heard from her.

Did she just claim him as hers??

“What.. What you just said-”

“I know right? No need thanking me hehe! I figured out that you were feeling uncomfortable with that girl around you so I decided to help you out!” Harmony laughed nervously while scratching her head.

“Really?” Angelo raised a brow.

“Of course! I have to go join my friends.. Bye!” Harmony said and immediately disappeared.

Angelo looked down on the sand to see her waist chain fell off. He crouched down and picked it then looked at it as a smirk formed on his lips.

“You’re a bad liar Candy” Angelo said to himself.

••••

“Why did I just do this! What is happening to me!!” Harmony exclaimed as she walked back to her friends.

She was still deep in thoughts when she bumped on someone.

“Sorry Tasha, I wasn’t looking” Harmony apologized.

“It’s okay.. I saw you were talking with Angelo earlier” Tasha said, trying to hide her jealousy as much as possible.

Harmony nodded. Tasha smiled and took her hand, leading her to a calm place.

“Harmony, I need your help. I really really like Angelo but no matter how hard I try, he never notices me. You’re pretty close to him so I’m sure you can hook me up with him” Tasha said.

Harmony took in her lips immediately. She doesn’t know why the idea of her hooking Tasha and Angelo up really bothered her.

“Tasha, I’m sorry but I can’t” Harmony said and Tasha’s eyes widened.

“Huh? But why? We’re friends, you should help me” Tasha said.

“It’s Angelo’s choice on who he wants to date. I can’t pressure him into what he doesn’t want” Harmony smiled.

Tasha’s mood changed completely, she scoffed and rolled her eyes.

“Just say that you’re interested in him. Why always hang out with Brandon if you’re interested in Angelo! That’s greedy!” Tasha frowned.

“Huh?” Harmony muttered.

“Girls! Let’s go swimming!” Barbie and Kaylee walked to them.

Tasha glanced one more time at Harmony before she marched off.

“What’s up? Did you two fight?” Kaylee asked

“I… Don’t know” Harmony mumbled, watching Tasha as she walked away.

Cassidy walked out in her own swimsuit. She looked around, looking for someone

Her eyes brightened when she saw Chance laying on the stretch chair, sunbathing with his sunglasses on.

She walked to him and sat down next to him. She bit her lips, trying to find a way to start a conversation.

She looked at him and couldn’t help but smile as she looked at his cute face then at the scar on his shoulder.

Cassidy looked at Chance’s face to make sure he was asleep. She raised her hand and made to touch the scar on his shoulder but Chance held her wrist and pulled off the sunglasses to look at her.

“Oh you weren’t sleeping? I’m sorry, I just wanted to verify if the scar you got from the accident was healed” Cassidy quickly said.

“How do you know I once got into an accident?” Chance raised a brow.

“Uhh.. I,, I heard of it!”

“Oh okay… Yunno back then when I was in 10th grade there’s this girl in my class, people use to bully her because of her face which I really thought was unfair. She also had a crush on me and back then she would always hand me red card with ‘I love you’ written on it. So one day I got into an accident and she jumped out of nowhere and saved me. I wounded my arm but she landed with her face, bruising it so badly. I really felt bad and I decided to look for her and thank her but I heard she travelled. Haven’t heard of her till now” Chance narrated while smiling.

Cassidy touched her face and swallowed hard.

“If you one day discover that she has always been loving you from afar but she did a face surgery, will you give her a chance? Will you think she’s fake?” Cassidy asked.

Chance looked at her.

“Well I’ll-”

Chance paused when he saw Tasha dive in the water. She ran her hands through her wet hair and began swimming.

Chance sighed and looked away.

••••

“Come on Harmony join us!” Barbie waved her hand in the air. She was in the water, swimming with Kaylee.

Harmony shook her head.

“I don’t know how to swim!” She said..

“Should I teach you?” Brandon said behind her.

“I don’t know. I’m scared of drowning” Harmony said.

“You won’t drown.. Come on!” Brandon began pulling her to the water

“Brany no! Wait! Brandon!”

“Ahh!” Harmony shrieked when the cold water touched her feet.

Harmony looked down and the water was her her knee level. Well they haven’t yet gone deeper in the sea though.

Harmony smiled and crouched down, she scooped water in her hand and splashed it on Brandon

“Hey!” Brandon frowned but Harmony stuck out her tongue

He smirked and began splashing her water too. Soon a battle of water began with Harmony’s laughter loud and clear.

Kaylee who was watching them, took in her lower lips. She couldn’t help but feel heavy at heart.

<ROM. CORPORATION≈7PM>

Juliet could be seen pacing around in front of Romeo’s office.

“You’re stúpid Juliet! You’re dúmb! How can you stoop that low! What has gotten into you!! You f**king asked him to stay away from another girl and you kissed him back! What is wrong with you!! Haven’t you gotten your dose of playboy in your life!!” Juliet’s subconscious scolded her.

She ran her hands through her hair and groaned loudly before sitting back down. Her mind went to her first boyfriend.

It was in her highschool days. She really loved this guy but he was a popular playboy so the guy approached her, confessing his love to her

Foolish her accepted to be his girlfriend and he pampered and petted her till one day she decided to give her virginity to her. The next day, he broke up with her, telling her it was all a bet.

Since that day, Juliet changed from the girly and innocent type to a no nonsense tomboy.

She ran her hands through her hair and shook her head before standing.

“No.. I can’t let history repeat itself again” Juliet shook her head

Just at that moment, Romeo walked out of his office, holding his briefcase. His secretary immediately stood too

“You may leave” Romeo said and the secretary nodded before leaving

He faced Juliet who slowly stood up

“Shall we go?” Romeo winked.

“Boss.. I want to make a few things clear to you” Juliet began.

“The kiss we shared earlier, let’s act like it never happened and also let’s act like I never said all of those things earlier. Let’s act like nothing happened” Juliet said.

“Why?”

“Because… I don’t want history to repeat itself. I’ve learnt my lesson, to always stick in my class. All what is happening now, is too good to be true. And I don’t have any feelings or whatsoever for you. Let’s just act like nothing ever happened between us” Juliet explained.

Romeo looked at her with a poker face. He slowly smirked afterwards.

“Are you done?” He raised a brow, dropping his briefcase down before he slowly began approaching her.

Juliet took steps back till her back hit the wall. He placed his hand on the wall, caging her there.

“It’s easier said than done because I can’t pretend we never kissed. It lives in my mind rent free and you don’t know how I yearn for this lips of yours again” Romeo said and rubbed her lips with his thumb.

“I honestly don’t care if you don’t have feelings for me… That makes it even more challenging and fun to me because when I set my mind on something I do my best to achieve it and you Juliet, you’ll be my Juliet… You’ll be mine” Romeo said and Juliet’s eyes widened.

What did he just say??

Juliet had no time to even think when she felt his lips landing softly on her. Her whole body felt electrocuted at that moment.

<HOTEL’S CAFETERIA>

The students filled the cafeteria as they all just finished their dinner. Now they were discussing about random stuffs.

“It’s almost bed time” Dennis said, checking his phone.

“Before we go to bed, let’s play some good old truth or dare. Who’s in!” Barbie said

👥 Me!!

Students began gathering around her, settling down round the table.

“I’ve never played it before, hope it’ll be fun” Harmony smiled and sat down next to Kaylee.

Barbie brought the bottle and placed it on the table.

“You guys already know the rules. Failure to do the dare or truth given you’ll have to drink”

“One shot of tequila” The rest chorused.

“Great, let the games begin!” Barbie said and spun the bottle.

The bottle landed on Kelly.

“Truth or Dare” Barbie asked.

“Truth”

“What’s your body count?” Barbie asked and Kelly bit her lips.

Dennis smiled, expecting her to say one since he was the one took her virginity but he was shocked when Kelly drank from her glass

“What…”

Kelly spun the bottle and it landed on Winter..

“Dare” Winter winked

“I dare you to give a lap dance to Brandon for 3 minutes.” Kelly winked too.

👥 it’s getting hot!

Winter immediately stood and walked to Brandon who was literally shooting beams at her with his eyes.

Kelly played the music and Winter began twerking on Brandon like a baddie that she is. Brandon bit his lips as he looked away in anger.

Winter caressed his chest and was even caressing his d*ck as she whined and twisted her hips on him

Kaylee threw her face away in anger.

3 minutes ran down and Winter was still touching him but Brandon pushed her off him and she landed on the floor.

“Thank goodness it’s over. Even my d*ck slipped in a coma just by your mere sight” Brandon spatted and everyone laughed loudly

The game continued. Winter spun the bottle and it landed on Tasha.

“Truth or Dare” Winter asked

“Dare” Tasha said boldly

“I dare you to make a public confession right here to the guy you’re into” Winter muttered.

Tasha bit her lips and looked at Angelo who was busy with his phone.

“Angelo..” She called and he looked up.

“Angelo, I’ve been a fan of you since your rookie days. You don’t know how happy I was to see how much you’ve grown. The very day I met you, words can’t explain how fast my heart raced. Angelo, I know I’m not perfect but you’ll never find a girl who can love you the way I do. I love you Angelo” She confessed.

👥 Woah!!!

Angelo just cleared his throat and looked at Chance who had his head down.

“Well I’m sorry but I won’t be able to reciprocate that feeling. My heart, mind and my everything already belong to someone else” Angelo said and Harmony looked at him

Tasha forced a smile and nodded though deep down she was broken.

The game continued and it landed on Brandon

“Dare” Brandon immediately said.

Tasha looked at Angelo then at Harmony with folded fists.

“I dare you to kiss Harmony, for 5 minutes” Tasha said and everyone gasp

Brandon looked at Harmony who was looking at him with wide eyes. He made to grab his glass to drink but on a second thought, he stood up and walked to her.

“Brandon..” Harmony whispered.

Brandon leaned and cupped her cheek then slammed his lips on hers. Harmony’s eyes widened so much at that.

Kaylee who was sitting beside Harmony stared at them with a pained look on her face.

Angelo folded his fists tightly, trying to control himself as he watched the way Brandon was kissing Harmony possessively.

The students kept screaming wildly as the kiss went on

5 minutes went down and Brandon slowly broke the kiss, their lips making sound. Harmony looked up at him in the eyes and the way he was looking at her at that moment was different from how he always looks at her.

“Harmony I love you” Brandon said with a soft gaze and Harmony’s eyes widened again

“I…”

Angelo stood up from his table and stormed out of the cafeteria.

“Angelo” Harmony’s eyes widened more and she stood up then went after him

Tasha smirked as she watched everything.

“B*tch! Why did you do that? I helped you!” Winter pushed Tasha

Tasha pushed her too and Winter fell down.

“Mind your f**king business next time” Tasha smirked.

“You’ll regret this” Winter sneered and stormed out of the room as well.

“Tasha, why did you give that dare! You know very well Angelo has a thing for Harmony” Barbie approached her.

“So does Brandon. Besides it’s just a game, why overreact” Tasha shrugged and left the room

Kaylee just stayed quiet as he looked at Tasha leave. She turned to Brandon who was still standing, frozen on his spot.

Looks like the game was ruined.

•••••

“Angelo? Angelo!!” Harmony called, her voice echoed as she did.

She was now walking inside a dark forest. She saw Angelo from afar and he entered the forest so she didn’t think twice before entering it too.

She doesn’t know why but she just wants to explain things to Angelo. What if he misinterpreted things??

The forest really looked creepy and that only made her to worry more. What if Angelo is in danger.

She brought out her phone to see there was no network where she was.

She was still walking when she heard noise behind her so she turned but saw no one.

She looked front and continued walking till she stopped in front of a big lake.

Harmony looked around and couldn’t see any traces of Angelo so she made to turn back but before she could do so, someone pushed her inside the water.

Her eyes widened as she fell inside the water. Panic gripped her when she realized that the lake was actually deeper that she thought.

“Help!! Help!!” She kept kicking her feet in the water, struggling not to drown as she stretched her hand for help at the silhouette that pushed.

The silhouette simply casted a glance at her then turned and left.

“Help!! Help!!” Harmony screamed as she continued battling inside her.

Her feet became weak and she found her self sinking inside the water. No matter how much she struggled, water kept penetrating her nose and mouth.

Her eyes slowly began closing and before she knew it, darkness engulfed her as she kept sinking to the bottom of the lake.
