Chapter 12 - Introducing you to the New Me

Early im the morning around 8 AM on friday, Someone knocks at Danny door.

"Dude it's 6 AM, who is this?" Shouted Danny

DARCY replied,

"It's me Darcy!"

Danny opened the door, and there she was, with that same innocent face but still asleep, as beautiful as ever.

"Oh, hey Darcy, what's up?"

"Hey, how are you?"

"Good, you?"

"Well, I'm doing better" She said

"That's what I see!" Affirmed Danny

"It's been a whole month since I saw Brayden at the campus, is he okay? "Can I speak to him?" She then demanded the only reason she had come here in the first place.

"No, he is not here because of what happened on campus because of you, as I recall. If you are wondering where you can find him, it is in his old house, but I will not give you the address so you do not hurt him for the third time. I only have one best friend, and I love him too much to allow you to do that to him one more time, unlike you." Danny explained, and his crashout was understandable given what she had done.

You have to only love your friend deep enough unlike certain people.

"Okay, thanks..." she simply said

"That's all? No hard Fellings but I can't" he refuses

"It has been a month since that incident occurred; I called him, voice messaged him, and told him everything that happened. He is also aware that I informed Chloe that I was done playing that game because I did not want to play with him because, you know...That night Chloe was drunk so she hasn't remembered I told her I'm done. " she tempted to explain

She took a deep breath "He did not respond to me, but I believe he received all of them. As a result, I stopped talking to many of my friends, and I am no longer as popular as I once was. I mean, I still am, but as the bad guy they portrayed me to be, which I can live with and accept because I deserved it." DARCY continued.

"So, never mind, just give him his exams for me, and yes, he passed, but I also told him that the last exams were approaching, and he needed to make it before it was too late. She finished and handed him some papers.

"He has not received any of that; all you have told him is that the situation is complicated and that you can not ever be together again, which he already knew. Then you go on... if that happens, people will look at you guys differently, and you can not deal with that right now...you did not even give him a choice again; you are too careless for that. I thought you were the smartest girl in the school, but okay I see right through you now."

"Wait a minute...what are you talking about? She said, "I thought..." before checking her phone. "No, not this again,"

"Now you suppose to care for him now?" Danny commented.

DARCY stopped looking at the phone and looked at him, then decided to say, "Bye Danny, see you at the campus."

Just like that, she smiled at Danny and closed the door.

"I am sure you have been listening," he said quietly after closing the door.

"Thank you, bro, I appreciate that!" Answered the voice of Brayden

"Don't mention it,"

DANNY continued, dropping the same papers Darcy had given him earlier on Brayden's bed. "I have not finished reading the last one yet; do you have it with you?"

"Check under the mattress," Brayden confirmed as he shaved in the bathroom.

"Those games are so cool I can't wait for yours,"

"Have you forgotten it already started? It's been whole week" mumbled Brayden

"Oh shoot, how can I forget about that?"

A few minutes later Brayden arrived on campus with a Bugatti known as "La voiture noir" with his friend was aboard it was the most expensive car in 2021 and only one exist till we speaking. The music was blasting so loud. Everyone notices that something has changed because he has never done this before.

And to not forget to include he was back.

"We should do this more often bro, I feel like I was the most popular celebrity in the world right now," suggested Danny.

BRAYDEN laughing

"Do not worry bro, it is going to be like this from now on...now you are with the old Brayden and the actual Brayden that is giving you a Brayden..."

"2.0" They finished the sentence together.

"I mean I did know the old you and the actual you but not the 2.0 one, nice to meet you my friend!" Added Danny

"Likewise!"

Then, as they stepped out of the car, they exchanged their well-known handshake and began walking through the crowd.

A STUDENT

"Welcome back Brayden!"

"Thanks!"

ANOTHER ONE, he looked at them car, then looked at Brayden, he nodded and say the word

"Gorgeous!"

Then they give a first bump.

SERGE was stupefied at what he was witnessing.

"Is that 'La voiture noir'" he pointed.

BRAYDEN stopped in front of them, beaming with pride.

"Yes sir!!"

"Isn't that obvious? it's actually black," commented Kai

"Get out of here; it is a Bugatti called 'La voiture noir,' which is extremely expensive and one of a kind. No one knew who it belong to till now!!" Explained Serge.

Demonstrating his abilities not only in football but also in cars.

"Now you are talking!" Replied Kai

"How did you know that noir means black, by the way? guess you weren't stupid as I thought" Jested Serge.

Kai looks at Serge in an odd way.

Brayden saw Lucas approaching the other guys along the way, and Lucas stopped him.

"That's an epic come back man!"

"What can I say?

Then they start to laugh.

When everything had passed and everyone was now inside their classroom in the afternoon.

The MCI journal team began making announcements.

Everybody has been talking about the same thing since this morning. Guess what it is dear listeners? Brayden epic comeback baby, yes! it is exactly what you are thinking about right now, after several months he's finally back, Brayden If you are listening to us right now, we hope you are feeling better and are happy to see you back in your kingdom, Prince!!

Danny's phone started ringing.

Bling, bling, bling.

"Hey my guy, what's up?" He picked it quietly up and said

"Yo, I don't think it's been working?" Brayden's voice came through. Him aswell was inside of a classroom, in the middle of a lesson.

"Wait a minute, are you talking about..."

"I'm talking about the game man; it's been a whole month but it's not working the way I expected. What drew my attention to it was that not only did the journal team not discuss it, but neither did the student. Brayden went into further detail.

"So, are you giving up now?"

"I'm afraid to but yes!" Responded Brayden

"Absolutely not...What?" Refused Danny "Hold on, where are you right now?"

"I'm in class right now,"

"What? so you're in class and you called me" demanded Danny, knowing full well that this was not permitted.

"It is not like I do not understand what the professor is saying. It is math, dude. Sometimes you understand sometime not," Brayden comfirmed.

DANNY stars to laugh,

"That is a good damn answer, but listen to me: you are not going to let the adversary win now; we have worked too hard on this to give up now. It is like a dream that you pursue until it becomes a reality, and believe me, something tells me that game will be famous, but I am not sure when."

"What the...anyway why are you so invested in this now I thought you weren't like the idea on not taking care of myself to working on it,"

"This is two different things; I did not like how you started it, but we finished it the right way. So hell yeah, I'm so invested in this as much as you are. I'm fucking into it, caught a vibe!!"

BRAYDEN laughed,

"Hahaha, so hilarious!"

"Hahaha, right? Okay, we are going to work on this; just wait until our class ends."

"Hold on, so you are in class too?" Asked Brayden after hearing this.

"Of course, the professor is currently discussing fish, which is extremely boring. How would I want to know that stuff? We ain't fishes, go get some fish and tell them at least they'll understand quicker than us!"

The other students start laughing.

THE PROF hears him, she inquired.

"What did you say Danny?"

DANNY to the prof

"Mmm, nothing I just said it's unbelievable what fish can do!"

THE PROF

"Right?!"

DANNY's classmate started laughing even louder now.

"Hahaha, when I thought I was the only one," commented Brayden still on the phone.

"Yes, we will find a way to make it work the way we want by the end of this week, believe me!"

"Okay man, we'll see" blurted Brayden

"I have to go; the professor is approaching me right now; she probably thinks I am interested in that class based on what I just said!" Said Danny

"Good luck with that Bro!"

Then Brayden hung up.

DANNY to himself

"Yeah, thanks I'm going to need it."

In the hallway - afternoon

Later that day.

Chloe notices Darcy attempting to steal something from her locker room, so she begins to attack her and shoots at her to enrage her.

Chloe saw Darcy in the hallway and pushed her in the back, then Darcy tripped and hit another student, causing them both to fall to the floor.

"I am so sorry," Darcy quickly told the other students.

"It's ok!" Accepted the student as she walked away.

Darcy immediately saw that it was Chloe, she began playing the victim as always.

"Sorry, someone did also push me,"

DARCY simply ignored her.

CHLOE's face changed immediately when she realized Darcy had not given her two f's, and she went loudly.

"There is a rumor that he is returned after a month away because the queen of hearts, as he referred to her, broke his heart. Mmm, that is sad...it is always up to me to fix their messes, and now I have to go take care of him!"

Darcy turned to face her, angry, and was on his way to hit her back, but Emma intervened.

"You know what? I had enough of your bullshit,"

Emma screamed, "Darcy nooo," as she quickly held her.

"Just let me beat the shit out of her for the hell she is turning my life into right now."

"I said no, girl; she will regret it, but not in this way, believes me. That's only going to put you in more trouble," Declared Emma still holding onto her.

CHLOE on the other side began chortled,

"Hahaha, like she wasn't already in trouble!"

"That is what I just said; clean your ears more frequently!" Clacked Emma

"Nah, but what I'm trying to say is she's the one causing them!" Continued Chloe

Then Darcy looks at her weirdly, ready to pound on her and ripped her open.

Emma remarked and held her tighter.

"I said calm down,"

"Let her bring it, Oh she doesn't have the balls!" Taunted Chloe

DARCY to Emma

"Don't worry, I'm calm now!"

DARCY to Chloe

"You are correct. No, I don't, but you have. It's because you had balls that makes you keep attacking me but when that girl did spit in your face you didn't have the same balls you has now to tell her to bring it, when she was ready to cast out that demon that was in your head!"

SOME OF THE OTHER PEOPLE THAT WERE AROUND Started Vouching for her.

DARCY then carries on,

"I could go even further if I wanted to, but I will not because I am not you, the selfish, self-absorbed bitch that you are. You must understand that if you allow me to ignite on you, I guarantee you will not catch even the smoke!"

The people began gossiping among themselves.

SOME OF THEM were like

"Damn, she's badass!"

DARCY kept on going

"This is the reason why I behave the way you see I behave but I'm not scared of you, as you think. You can have every boy on campus then go ahead you can have them, they all yours. I know you have a hole for each of them!"

The people around them start to laugh

When Chloe had enough, she responded,

"It is not my fault if you are not as sweet as I am; you do not have to be jealous; simply ask me how, honey!"

They kept laughing as things became heated.

Darcy chuckled "Hahaha, good one you can be fun sometimes. But, if I were you, I would save some for later because your sugar supply will eventually run out. And they will see you for who you truly are because people do not like things that are too sweet or too salty; if I were you, I would mix it up a little now."

DARCY continued)

"And lastly, I went to church; if you do not stay out of my way the next time, I will completely baptize you!"

DARCY had a small bottle of water in her hand and sank it into Chloe's head, leaving her completely stunned.

EVERYONE went

"Ohhhh!"

EMMA Whispered into Chloe's ears.

"Hold that you bitch!"

RUBY, who had just arrived, had missed out on all of the excitement; she was perplexed as to why so many people were present, so she inquired.

"What's going on?"

An UNKNOWN girl that was next to her, turned about to leave but before she did, she answered.

"You're late as usual!"

And she winked at her.
