This chapter is dedicated to another wonderful cookie _diamondxx for making the cute cover above! Thank you so much and I hope you like the chapter cookie❤️

🍪Ellie's P.O.V

I cleared my throat, cautiously making my way towards the seat that was farthest away from them.

The reminder of my little stunt earlier at the cafeteria wanted me to go up to Alec and smacked him again for eating my precious cookies.

"Hey sweet chick! What brings you here?" Valentino asked, taking a seat next to me.

I felt myself stiffen at his proximity but I ignored him and started to play with my phone instead.

I didn't even have a freaking ballpen to write on this slip!

"None of your business." I replied, surprising myself at how calm it sounded.

I gave a discreet glance to see if Alec was looking at me and immediately turned my attention back to the front when my gaze met his electrifying ones.

Shit! He's already looking at me. Oh gods. This is not good! I repeat this is not good!

Mom, thank you for everything. Dad, please stop scaring Theodore. Theodore, don't become a bad boy. My precious cookies, just know that I have defended you and fought for you until my last br—

I tried to be nonchalant and counted how many chairs we were away and breathed a little easier when I realize we had six chairs between us and he couldn't sock me easily if he wanted to.

HA!

I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't notice Valentino who had snatched my phone from the desk and was now scrolling through it like it was his.

"That's mine! Give that back," I demanded, a scowl forming on my lips.

Valentine stood up and went to where the pack of skittles were seated. I glared at him, standing up from my chair.

"Isn't that supposed to be a guy's line?" Valentino joked, his eyes still glued to my phone.

Being the idiot that I was, I didn't bother to put a passcode on and is now suffering the consequences.

"Nice lock screen by the way," He complimented, this time meeting my gaze with his amused ones.

I felt the color drain my face when I remember it was a picture of me in a bikini. Hold up! Don't ask me why I did that because everyone does that! It's not like someone's gonna go up to you and ask what's your lock screen is.

Beeesides, I felt cute in that bikini and self-love is the real day these days.

Not caring that Alec could easily pull me in for a punch, I made my way towards them. I tried to take my phone away from Valentino who tossed it towards the twin then Chase who gave it to Alec.

Alec stood up in his seat, his electrifying eyes meeting mine. I tried not to cower away from the obvious height difference and offered him my palm in a silent 'give it back to me'

He raised his hand that held my phone above my reach, a daring expression on his face. I glared, trying to reach but failed.

"Give me my phone back." I demanded, getting tired of stretching my arms.

I don't even like doing exercise and this bloody skittle is forcing me to do this.

"Can't you understand the word privacy?" I asked, glaring at him.

Oh How I wish my glares could be converted into punches, this would all be easier.

"It doesn't exist in our dictionary Bambina," Alec said, his husky voice rolling out of him like velvety chocolate.

Bambi what? Why the hell does he keep referring me to wild animals? Do I look like a freaking animal?

Dang it. He has such beautiful eyes and the fact that it was now staring into mine with such intensity made me nervous and fidget slightly.

"W-Whatever, Just g-give me my phone." Why the freaking noodle did I stutter? Dang it!

Upon hearing me stutter, Alec smirked."Aw. Do I make you nervous?" He lowered his head unto mine and motherfreaking toot toot!

SOMEONE HAS BREACHED THE BUBBLE! I REPEAT THE BUBBLE HAS BEEN BREACHED.

"No." I squeaked, moving my head back slightly farther from his.

He tsked, standing back up to his full height."You know," He started off,"Your lips look rather lonely," He pointed out, his eyes dropping to gaze at the lower lip that I was currently biting.

"Wha-" I didn't even get to finish what I was saying because he, once again, breached my freaking bubble and our faces were now only a few inches apart.

"Would they like to meet mine?" He offered, pouting his lips in an adorable manner. My mind went blank for a second, my heart thudding wildy in my chest, before I realized what he meant.

"I-I'd rather not and get your face away from mine. You're gonna pop my fucking bubble," I lamely said, before pushing his face away from mine.

I felt my cheeks turn red upon hearing the laughter that erupted behind me. I glared at him, embarrassment crawling in me at the fact that they saw that exchange between us.

Alec had a perplexed look,"Bubble? Tsk tsk. Nice comeback Haven." He said, shaking his head in amusement.

I felt my brows furrowed upon hearing my last name. How did he know my last name? Great, he probably did his research on me and would later jump me on the way home to get revenge.

"Are you on drugs?" I asked, feeling suspicious at how he wasn't currently pummeling me to death in complete anger for kicking him in the jewels earlier.

"Now, where did you got that idea?"

I scoffed,"From my brain of course, where'd you think I got it? From my ass?" I sassed, crossing my arms.

Valentino stifled a laugh whilst the twins glanced at each other with amusement at my remark. Even Chase cracked a smiled and I felt a gush of satisfaction flooding in me.

A dark expression fell on his Alec's face."Your sarcasm could get you in trouble one day kitten. You better watch that mouth of yours." He smiled but there was nothing friendly about it.

"What's up with you and animals?" I thought out loud, a frown pulling on my lips.

"What?"

"Never mind," I said, shaking my head."Now, give me my phone back," I stretched my palm towards him.

"Fine," He tossed my phone roughly at me and it almost fell to the ground if I didn't catch it on time. I gave him a glare and on cue, the bell rang indicating the start of last period.

I made my towards Mr. Iggs who managed to still stay asleep despite all the noises that happened and placed the detention slip back.

Not glancing back at the pack of skittles, I made my way outside the detention room.

"Bye sweet chick!" Valentino called out, making me cringe at how loud it resonated throughout hall despite students filling out of the classrooms noisily.

I stopped by my lockers to get my things but I was surprised to see Ark already leaning on my locker.

"Don't you have class?" I asked her, my brows furrowing in confusion.

She took a hold of my shoulder,"Boo, did you forget? We're only half day today." This time, I did smacked my head unto my palm.

In every first day of school for senior students, they only get to attend half their subjects that day. I don't know why but it's something that has been going on since I attended here.

"It totally slipped my mind. Thank God A, I'm officially done for the day." I sighed, getting all of my stuff before locking my locker.

"Are you okay? You had Ms. Coax earlier right? Let me guess, she scolded your ass off for not bringing your english book with you." She said, both of us making our way towards the parking lot.

I snorted,"That's much more better than landing in detention," I replied, almost forgetting that this is Ark I was talking to.

She gasped,"Detention? What? How? When?" She exclaimed, staring at me with her chocolate eyes.

I started rambling about the events earlier and the more I told her what happened, the more Ark's face blanked into an expression that I can't help but burst into laughter.

Before I knew it, we were both laughing hysterically in the middle of the parking lot like dumb fudgesticks.

"Oh god, hahahah I can't believe that happened boo but look, the good girl talks back to the bad boy! Ahh, the typical start of a love story," She said, a grin forming on her lips

"Love story my ass. More like a horror mixed with thriller type of story besides that bloody skittle took my precious cookies. That leads him to the pits of my 'want to date list'." I trailed off, pushing my hair back in annoyance.

"Yeah, I don't think you can call it a list when it only consists of Harry Styles and Jikook boo." She pointed out.

"You know what I mean A," I said, playfully glaring at her.

She raised her hands up in surrender,"Down kitty," She said, giggling.

"Claws down." I joked, giggling lightly.

She shook her head in amusement,"I gotta go now. Dad's back and you know how the evil witch is, gotta remind her who came in dad's life first." She said, rolling her eyes at the mention of her step mom.

"Show her who's the baddest," I said, pulling her in for a hug. She gave me a peck on the cheek before walking off towards her car.

I hitched my bag up higher before starting my long walk back home. I love long walks, it makes me calm and gives me a chance to sort out my thoughts.

I'm an over thinker, you see. I tend to overthink things and it usually builds up until I just go kaboom. These walks usually help me take a step back and reset my brain.

I kicked the pebble that was on the ground and sighed, today was really full of surprises. Who knew I'd end up talking back to the one of the bad boys and what's worse? I landed myself on his hit list.

I was quite surprised though that he didn't pummel me to the ground the second he had a chance but I knew he wasn't that bad to hurt a woman, especially if its a woman as adorable as me.

kidding on the last part, of course.

I took a deep breath before continuing my way back home. It took me longer than usual since I continued kicking the pebble and had to pick it up a few times as it almost went to the road.

"Mother! I'm home!" I called out, pulling my shoes off and placing my bag on the ground

"Get your ass in the kitchen honey!" She answered back, earning an amused giggle from me.

I entered the kitchen, the sight of my mom slicing some fruits greeted me. She gave me a smile as I pecked her cheek, telling me to sit down.

She then took a bowl, placed the fruits in it before handing it to me and taking a seat opposite to mine.

I was happily munching on a sliced banana when I noticed her giving me a pointed look. I felt my brows furrow in confusion and she rolled her eyes playfully.

"How's your first day of school? Any excitements?" She asked, her green eyes gleaming with mishief.

I nodded my head in understanding, continuing to chew another slice of fruit before answering.

You see, my mom has this yearly tradition where she would make me spill everything that happened during the first day of school.

I, then proceeded to tell her what happened on my first day but leaving all the deets about my encounter with the bad boys and landing myself a detention.

You can't exactly tell those details to your mom right?

"That's all of it mom." I said, looking down at bowl to choose which fruit I should eat next.

Apple? Banana? Watermelon? Blueberries? Mango? Kiwi?

"You do know you're my daughter, right?" She smiled, making me glance at her.

"Duh," I let out, earning a glare from her,"Yes mom, I know." I corrected, coughing slightly.

"Then you know I can tell when you're lying," She deadpanned, slapping me on the arm.

I winced,"Ow mom! That hurts!" I whined, pulling my arm away from her reach.

She rolled her eyes,"Don't be a drama queen and tell me everything." She said, emphasizing on the last part.

I groaned in defeat, knowing that I had no choice. I told her what originally happened and I felt myself grow nervous when I saw her face blanked upon hearing the word 'detention'

"The end," I said lamely, feeling scared that she'll get mad at me.

My mom is a complete angel but get on her bad side or piss her off then it's the end of the world for you.

A few seconds passed before she stood up on her seat and started peppering me with kisses all over my face and pulling me in for a hug.

"Oh, you're growing up so fast! I can't believe it!" She chirped while I tried to escape her attempts to kiss my face.

"Mom! Stop it! Aren't you supposed to be mad?" I interjected, hiding my face from hers.

She pulled back,"Why would I be angry? It's your senior year! You need to show your wild side and I can't believe you're following my bad ass nature." She beamed before babbling about how many detentions she received before and how popular she was.

"I can't wait to tell your dad about this!" and just like that another argument has erupted in the kitchen.
