Chapter 4

****ROYAL HIGH****

The F5 went into the classroom and just as they were about to go in, someone bumped into Fernando... 

"Aaah Ouch" Alexia whimpered as she raised her head from his chest.

"You shouldn't act blind always and just focus on where you're going," Fernando said and she scoffed with a glare that could send shivers down anyone's spine.

"I'm the victim here and I'm the one getting the insults here? You this bully!!!!!" she yelled and they all shifted back except Fernando, but he was sure he got goosebumps as she yelled.

She went out of the class and deliberately bumped her shoulders against his, it was his stamina that kept him from losing his balance.

He felt like kissing those cute lips of hers throughout the argument, it was common sense that kept him from kissing her.

He shrugged it off and went into the LR. They had no general class today so they had to go to their special class.

"Thank goodness, we won't have to come across scums like Tristan," Finley said and they laughed.

They settled down, and each of them was lost in their thoughts until Fortune broke the silence by picking up a fight.

"Fernando weakling, what are you thinking so hard about?" he asked and Fernando glared at him. 

"Fernando what??!!" he asked in aggravation.

"Yeah you're a weakling, you can't beat me in this game, I mean... None of you can" Fortune said with a smirk and they all faced him with glares of daggers.

"What? You guys are glaring as if you can. Why don't we compete and see who wins?" Fortune added.

"You should know that Fernando will beat you no matter how hard you try," Freddie said silently.

"He'll still be a weakling because he's scared of losing the game," Fortune said again trying so hard to make four of them play the video game with him.

Fernando took his seat in front of the huge screen and others did the same. Fortune smiled secretly and joined them.

The game started and later became tedious with everyone trying to get the upper hand. They were so serious that one will think their lives depended on it.

****THE F5 SPECIAL CLASS****

They ended the game after their hot rounds and they all fell tiredly to their chairs.

Fernando won the game, then Fortune came second, Finley the third while Freddie and Franco were fourth.

"Should we rehearse our next song?" Franco suggested and Freddie agreed immediately.

**Let's do this!

**I'm in!

**Yipee!

**Where's my guitar??

They all agreed and started rehearsing immediately.

After the first practice, Fernando's phone rang.

"Yes?" he inquired 

"You have a shoot tomorrow and you were allowed to choose between two girls from your school, Alexia and Alyssa" their manager informed him and he frowned.

"You know how much I hate Alyssa and you know I always reject offers for a shoot with that slutty witch," Fernando said hatefully.

"Then you have to shoot with Miss Banks" the manager concluded.

"What!!!" he shouted and the other four faced him with wide eyes.

"You have to conclude now, Miss Norman or Miss Banks?" the manager asked and he couldn't even mutter a word for some seconds.

If he chooses to shoot with Alyssa, she'd be all over him like the slut she was and despite being the playboy he was, just the sight of her disgusts him.

"I'll choose the latter" Fernando concluded and hung up immediately.

"What's wrong?" Fortune asked.

"I bet it's a shoot with Alyssa" Finley scoffed and rolled his eyes.

"Yeah, but I declined it and I was left with no choice but to Alexia" Fernando replied and they all exchanged glances.

"Oh, my fuck! Fernando is gonna shoot with that sexy badass" Franco said and he did a knuckles tap with Finley.

"It's better than shooting with Alyssa anyway," Freddie said and they all nodded except Fortune who blanked out.

His eyes met with Fernando but he quickly looked away and went out of the class.

"I'm going to get some fresh air" he announced but when Franco made to follow him, he raised his right hand.

"I'll do alone parasite," he said and went out completely.

"Hey!!!" Franco screamed and kicked Fortune's chair angrily. He winced as he hit his leg mistakenly.

Fernando might not be sure of anything but he knew that Fortune was angry when he announced that he was shooting with Alexia.

But what's there to be angry about? Fernando couldn't point out one reason for his sudden reaction.

Fernando shrugged it off and his mind suddenly went to Alexia.

"I should go take a look at the lady who'd shoot with me tomorrow" Fernando muttered silently and stood up then like that, he left the class.

Freddie and Finley exchanged glances and also went out of the class.

Alexia stretched as she got up from her chair after saving her assignment.

She went out of the class immediately and started a stroll down the passages.

She does that every day in case of any bullying takes place without her knowing.

She was still thinking about Fernando when her phone rang.

"Hi, what's up?" Alexia asked as she picked up the call.

"Well, I just wanted to inform you that your tomorrow's shoot is with Fernando Grayson," her manager said and she removed the phone from her ear and checked it in case she was hearing things.

"What did you just say?" she asked as she returned the phone to her ear.

"You have a shoot with Fernando Grayson tomorrow" he repeated and she coughed.

"But I haven't received the script and details" he added and she felt tongue-tied.

"Who the hell arranged this shoot, I mean why would I shoot with that arrogant Jerk?" Alexia yelled.

"It's not like I'm the master planner, why must you break my eardrums?" her manager yelled back.

"Go meet the company if you have any further complains, but most importantly is that you should get a boyfriend, then maybe he'd be able to object to shoots like this" he added.

"Hey!!!! Loyal!!! Don't ever let me get my hands on you" Alexia yelled and he ended the call instantly.

She was breathing so hard that one would think she was just coming back from a world war.

She adjusted her hair and continued her stroll. Her heart was beating fast at the thought of shooting with Fernando.

She kept hoping it wouldn't be a sensual one because she might just lose it.

*******

Fernando smiled when he sighted Alexia going through the passages and silent places for signs of bullying.

He kinda credits her for that, but part of him wanted to know why she was so against the bully.

She could do anything as long as bullying was concerned and it usually seemed as if she was the one getting bullied.

Fernando didn't know how it happened, but he found himself walking behind her. He smiled and raked his hand through his hair as he watch her looking around suspiciously.

Alexia had felt a presence behind her for the past five minutes now but she kept her cool.

She suddenly stopped walking but didn't look back.

She felt the person stopping too, so she looked around and found a pathway by her left. 

She took fast strides and went through the corner, she hid and waited for the person to show up and as expected, he showed up.

She quickly held him by his shirt and pinned him to the wall only to see Fernando in front of her.

"What... What are you doing here?" she stammered and blinked severally.

He didn't reply.

Their eyes met... And it got heated immediately. There was a kind of tension around them that kept screaming Kiss her, Kiss him...
