Iris's POV:
I was woken up by the chirps of the bird outside my window. Okay let's face the truth, i was woken up by my stupid noisy alarm and stood up from my bed.

I groaned knowing it's another day of hell--i mean school.

"Ugh!!" I walked to my bathroom and did my morning routine

After that i chose the clothes that i'm gonna wear

Curled the tips of my hair and put some natural makeup on.

Once i'm contented on how i look, i went downstairs to eat breakfast with my parents.

"Morning mom, morning dad" i greet them

"Morning sweety" my mom greet me

"Morning too sweety" my dad also greeted me

We ate breakfast normally and once i was done, i went to my room to get my backpack and bid my parents goodbye.

As i arrived at the school, i see my boyfriend standing beside the school gate waiting for me.

"Good morning my princess" he kissed my forehead and hugged me

"Good morning too my prince" i kissed his cheeks and let go of the hug

"Let's go?" He asked me

I nodded

We we're walking by the hallways chatting about how awesome the picnic we're and honestly it is.

We had so much fun there and my parents was involved in it too.

"I wish i can meet his parents too" i said in my head

"We're here" he broke me from my trance

We sat down at our usual spots and Alex and Cloe went straight to our seats.

"So how was the weekend?" Cloe asked us

"Bored.." i pouted

"What?! I called you every hour remember?" Xian protested

"Yeah, but you we're not there with me" i continue to pout

"Can you both stop being lovey-dovey for a second? It's making me feel sick" Alex cuts our so called "fighting"

*Bell rings*

"Time for class" Cloe said and went toward her seat

We all went back to our seats and our teacher came in

For some reasons i have a bad feeling about her entrance. Something about this gives me the chills

"Good morning class" she greeted

"Good morning Ma'am" we greeted back

"Today we have a new transfer student, please come in" she announced

"I hope it's another boy" the girls whispered

"I hope it's a girl" the boys smirked

"Seriously?! Ugh..." I whispered to myself

The transfered student came in and introduced herself...and yes she's a girl

"Good morning everyone my name is Isabella Lowell and i hope we can all be friends" she smiled sweetly

She's so beautiful. She has a natural curled brunette hair, a lovely hazel brown eyes and a small face with fair white skin.

"Woah, you're so pretty" one of the girl shouted

"Yeah but the princess of our school still looks prettier" one of the boys shouted

I blushed knowing they are referring to me.

She just giggled cutely.

"Hehe what a lovely girl" i thought

"Okay Isabella you can sit beside James" Ma'am said

After that she went straight to sit beside James but i noticed something... I think she glanced this way?

Nah it's probably just my imaginations

"Hey you okay?" Xian asked me

"H-huh? Y-yeah" i smiled at him

After that, class started normally

I couldn't get my mind of what i saw earlier. What if she actually glanced our way? But why though???

I shook my thoughts away hearing the bell

"You okay? You've been like that since Isa went inside the classroom" he held my hand while we go to the cafeteria

"Isa?! What?!" I pushed him and crossed my arms

Xian's POV:
Ohh yeah i forgot to tell her that Isabella was my childhood girl best friend

"O-oh..I-isa? I forgot to tell you that she's my childhood best friend" i scratched the back of my head

"Ohh that's why she glanced at us before" she held her chin

"She did?" I pat her head

I held her hand again and we continued our walk to the cafeteria

I wish Iris and Isa would get along because as i remember, Isa can be such a bitch sometimes.

She always clings to me and i hate that side of her.

I remembered when we we're in middle school she confessed her feelings to me, but i rejected her

After that, she became distant towards me and acted like we never knew each other so i talked to her about that

Once we talked to each other, she acted like she was my girlfriend and became really clingy towards me.

We arrived at our table and my eyes spotted her..

What is she doing here?! Ugh!!

"Thank goodness you're here" Cloe rolled her eyes

"This girl keeps asking us where the f*ck you are and claims to be your f*cking girlfriend" Alex cusses

"Isa, You.Are.Not.My.Damn.Girlfriend and get that straight in your head" i held Iris's hand

Isabella's POV (the bitch úwù)
Ugh! Who is that girl holding my Xian's hand?

(Author: ugh bitch he is not your property ú^ù)

She better not steal my man or ruin my plan

"B-but i'm your girlfriend" i protested

"Isa you are not my girlfriend, Iris is" he still held her hand

"R-really?" I asked acting innocently

"Yes she is. Isa remember that you are just my best friend"

(Author: burn bitch!!)

"Haha i know, i was just joking" i acted

"Besides, i already moved on from you" i crossed my arms and flipped my hair

"Haha yeah.." he said awkwardly

Iris's POV:
I thought that this girl was just as innocent as she looks but i was wrong.

She has this two-faced and bitchy side in her personality that i can't explain.

I will hold myself back and observe first before i attack.

She better watch her back and not steal my man because I might look weak and innocent but when you get to my bad side, better pray for yourself and wish that you'll survive my wrath.

"So let's sit?" Max broke our awkward silence

"Sure" i replied innocently

"Come sit with me princess" Xian told me

"Hehe sure my prince" i emphasized the word "my" so Isabella would hear it

"So i'll get going guys bye" Isabella bid her farewell

"Bye, be careful" i said

"Yeah" she replied irritated

I watched her stumped her feet and walked out of the cafeteria. Huh serves you right bitch.

"What's that all about" Xian asked while scratching the back of his head

"You'll never understand woman my love" i told him

"What?" He asked confused

"It's just a sign to tell Isabella to back off" Alex answered Xian's question

I hummed in response

I honestly don't know how to feel right now. I feel kinda off because of her arrival and i'm not feeling good about it in any bit.

I started to eat my cupcake still thinking about Isabella. If there's a chance that she'll break us off, then she better prepare herself

I'm not suppose to be the antagonist of this story but i'll gladly be one if this bitch just come walking in my story and snatching away my happy ending.

Ohh she's gonna pay if she does that. She'll definately

"Ahh Iris?" Cloe called me

"Yeah?" I answered

"Why did you do that to your cupcake?" She asked

I looked into my hands where a full cupcake was suppose to be, but the moment i looked i saw a crushed cupcake in my hands

"A-ah..sorry" i stood up and excused myself to go to the restroom to wash my hands

I was so busy fantasizing my "evil" plan i didn't get to eat my cupcake T^T

I was almost done washing my hands when someone purposely kicked my legs

"Well, well, well. Look who we have here?" A girl spoke

The moment i heard her voice, i knew exactly who she was

"What do you want Isabella" i asked her with an irritated voice

"I want nothing but your popularity and your boyfriend" she said while her arms are crossed

"Sorry but you don't deserve it" i said and was about to walk away when she slapped me

Bitch!!!

"He was suppose to be mine but you took him away from me" she said and pulled my hair

"Ohh please as if he liked you from the start. You had this bitchy attitude that he hated that's why he doesn't like you" i pushed her off causing her to fall down

"Then what do you call yourself?!" She asked me

"Honey... I'm not a mirror" i said and walked away

That bitch better hide before i slam her face to a wall a crush all her bones in her body

Ugh!! She just ruined my day and my hair!!

I went back to the cafeteria since we still have an hour and a half till break time ends

"What happened to you?" Xian rushed to me and made me sit down

"That damn Isabella did this to me" i said and continued to fix myself

"She did what?!" Cloe and Alex shouted at the same time

"Yeah, she even slapped me. My cheek hurts now" i said irritated

"I'm sorry she did this to you princess" Xian told me and held the cheek that she slapped

"It's alright, as if i can't handle her. Right girls?" I said

"Ohh yeah, you haven't seen her dark side yet" Alex smirked

"Wait?! She has that?!" Max questioned

"Does it look like i'm kidding?" Alex asked with a poker face on

"Hehe no" he replied

As we continued our conversation, i finally finished fixing myself. Me and my boyfriend had our own conversation

"Does your cheek still hurt?" He asked me

"Not anymore. Her slap wasn't that hard though, she's weak" i winked at him

"So you don't need you knight and shining armour anymore?" He asked me with puppy eyes

Ahhh!!! So adorable!! ÚwÙ

"Hehe of course i do" i pinched his cheeks

"You're so cute!!" He pat my head

" *cough* *cough* " Kyle faked a cough

"Uhh? Hi?" I said awkwardly

"You guys are too sweet you know?" Alex glared at us

"What? Jealous?" Xian smirked and held my hand

"Why would i be?" Alex said

"Yeah why would she be? She has me you know?" Max put his arms around Alex's shoulder

"Yeah, not happening" Alex pushed his arms off

"You know Alex, you'll eventually like him" Cloe said

"Yeah..." Alex replied

We we're shocked at her reply and Max blushed..wait..Max blushed?!!

"Really?" Max asked Alex

"Yeah, when pigs fly" she smiled sweetly

Aish! Classic Alex, turning down Max's so called confession

But it got me thinking. It's true though, Alex will eventually like Max back so can't wait for that to happen

"You know guys, break time is almost over, let's head back to our classroom before we're late" I said out of nowhere

"Yeah..we should" Xian yawned

" You sleepy?" I asked him

"Yeah" he put his head on my shoulder

"Let's head to class and you can sleep, we still have 20 mins before break time ends" i told him before he fall asleep

"Ok" he replied like a kid

"Guys, we'll go now ok?" I said

"Ok, bye" they replied

We we're walking down the hallway while holding each others hand and we saw someone approaching us with fake bruises

"Don't even think about is Isabella" Xian spoke out of nowhere

"W-what? She did this to me! How could you not believe me?!" She stomped her feet like a spoiled brat

"I know you" he replied

"So you believed her over you childhood best friend?!!" She protested

"Yes, because i know what you did and i know when you're lying" he held my hand tighter when Isabella was about to slap me

"DON'T YOU DARE LAY YOUR FILTHY HAND ON HER! THE MOMENT I KNOW THAT YOU HURT HER, YOU'LL PAY!!" Xian shouted at her that made me shock

"H-hey let's go" i whispered at him

We left her their with tears in her eyes. I don't feel pity at all. It's her fault for being like that

"Are you okay?" I asked him

"Yeah i'm fine princess" he kissed the top of my head

"You know, you don't have to shout at her so loudly" i told him

"Yeah but i wanna protect you from her. I don't wanna see you getting hurt because of me and how she felt about me. I want you to always smile like you always do and i want you to be safe in my arms." He suddenly hugged me

"You're such a cutie" i hugged him back

From now on, i'll depend on him to protect me from her but not like i can't protect myself but he wanted me to

I'm glad i have him by my side, i feel safe when his arms are around me. I don't know what to do if he's not around
