Chocolate and spaghetti.

 Kiara wasn't surprised to hear it was Dylan because he picked literally on everybody and mostly Ashley but she hadn't quite expected him to do it even before school began for the day. 

"What did he do this time?"

"What has he not done?" Ashley threw back the question at her " I am tired of pointing out what he does, the fact that he doesn't allow me have my peace is too much for an action. I get tired at times when I remember I'll meet him in school, spoilt brat". Ashley said rolling her eyes.

" Spoilt brat indeed". 

"What ? Are the two of you so in love with me that you keep mentioning my name, you shouldn't hide the fact you have something for me,free to confess your feelings to me ". Dylan said as he walked towards them.

"How are you sure we were talking about you". Kiara asked visibly irritated by his presence.

" Of course,I did send a message to your friend just some minutes ago , I'm sure that's exactly what she's talking about".

"Oh so you know what you did".

" How is it my fault my driver splashed water on your friend?, He wanted to say sorry and I would have allowed him tho but I was already running late for school, so it wasn't actually my fault". 

"You can apologize to her now, she's standing right in front of you"

"Hmm, let me think about that, no". 

Turning to Ashley he said,

"That word?, it was definitely not meant for you, it just couldn't escape my mouth . Your uniform looks so worn out, remind me to have a new one sown for you ". Going close to her he dragged her hair " your hair too looks like mess".

Kiara seeing her Ashley groan in pain helped her to pull her hair out of Dylan's grip , looking at him with killer eyes she said

"You have no right to shame her, what she wears and how she looks is none of your business".

" Shame you say, I didn't shame her in any way". He replied innocently.

 He around seeing students walk up and down the hallway he winked at Kiara, banging his hand on one of the lockers ,he shouted in a mocking voice

"Everyone, Ashley is so stupid that she had to come to school in a wet uniform". Everybody turned to look at her and on seeing her burst out laughing.

"Sheesh, why are you in a wet uniform?, Looks like you washed it this morning." One girl from the crowd spoke.

" Maybe she peed on it last night". Another boy added and the rest of the students began laughing again.

Dylan turned to the two girls and said with a smile

"Now that's shaming".

 The tears which had formally clouded on Ashley's eyes started running down her cheeks, Dylan has insulted her in a way she never had imagined, she wiped the tears on her face with the back of her hand and made to leave but Dylan drew her hair pulling her back.

" I hope not to see you in English class". He said and let go of her hair , he looked at Kiara and caught her staring at him with a furious face.

"Easy there you, those eyes weren't meant for that". "See ya". He said and left.

Ashley hung her head low as Kiara led her to her class. She came from a very poor background and all she had was just a pair of uniform which she always kept clean even though it has gotten old. She always made sure not to allow any speck of dirt get to it but today had been different as Dylan's driver had splashed water on her. She was the type of girl who was easily intimidated unlike her twin sister who intimidates . Her sister Audrey was an outdoor person who loved going out and attending parties. She mingled with friends who status were much higher than hers and they were sure to shower her with clothes, jewelry or money. 

Ashley and Audrey were both loveable but people preferred staying with Audrey to Ashley as she was a free and interactive person but Ashley was just a boring nerd.

Kiara led Ashley to her class and ran off to hers as she heard the sound of the bell. During classes, Kiara couldn't get herself to concentrate, all that went on in her mind was a video of what Dylan had done to her friend in the morning. Anger boiled in her as the voices of people laughing kept replaying in her head, she gritted her teeth as she clenched her hands, her nails dug into her palms but she paid no attention to the pain, her nails dug in deeper as she visualised herself beating up Dylan, her muscles contracted and the breath which got in her lungs never saw the chance to escape. The bell rang loudly jolting her back to reality, she unclenched her fist and gave out a heavy breath which got her muscles relaxed, she saw her classmates as they were leaving the class and checked her timetable to know what class she would be having next.

"Lunch time already?". She asked herself and picked her bag to leave the class.

The cafeteria filled with students who lined up taking their food in turns.

"I can't wait to get home and have a better food". Lily said as she sat with her friends to eat.

"What's wrong with the one you have?". Imogen asked.

"It's so little, it doesn't go anywhere in my stomach". Lily replied.

"Ashley, can I have a taste of your food". Lily asked with pleading eyes.

"We got our food from the same pot lily, but you can have it anyways, I don't really feel hungry". She said and lily beamed with smiles and snatched Ashley's tray before she decides to change her mind. "Am I the only one who noticed kiara has been thinking about something". 

" Yeah, I did too". Imogen replied

"Hey, girl, down to earth". Lily said snapping her fingers in Kiara's face .

"What's on your mind?" Ashley asked.

"Dylan". She answered bluntly.

"Oh wow, such betrayal". Ashley said with a disappointed face.

"Since when does that stupid creature occupy your mind?". Imogen asked out of suprise.

"I still see no reason to hate that guy, he is the cutest thing ever, so hot". Lily said and Ashley gave her the 'i can kill eyes'. "Sorry, you are the one that has got issues with him not me". Lily said and took in a mouthful of her food.

"Ashley is our friend, we all hate him because he bullies her, a pain to one is a pain to all". Imogen said and lily shrugged munching her food.

"I have been thinking on how to get back at him for what he did to Ashley and not for any other reason, he's the last thing to occupy my mind"

"Get back at him?". Imogen asked. " Looks like you want to get yourself killed".

" I don't want you to experience what I am going through because of me, trying to get back at him won't make him stop rather he will add you to the list of those he torments".

" That guy can be an asshole but I can't just hate him, he is too cute to be hated".

" Lily one more word from you and you are dead". Imogen warned.

  "Fine" . She said and took Kiara's tray .Kiara looked at her and shook her head, everyone knows Lily loves food she would probably finish the food meant for everyone in school if she was ever given the chance.

" I wonder how you never get fat, you consume things that can make someone obese". Imogen said with a puzzled look, Lily shrugged and continued stuffing her mouth with food.

" I couldn't concentrate in class because of him, he has crossed all the lines shaming Ashley in front of everybody, he is definitely going to pay for messing with me."

" Girl, he messed with me and not you and I'm telling you to let it go, you'll find yourself in a very big trouble if you try doing anything to him".

"Well I don't mi..."

"Kiara." Ashley called. "Don't do anything. For my sake please".

" I'll try".

At another corner of the cafeteria, Dylan was sitting with his friends laughing at a joke one of them had made.

" Yo, I think you all should come over to my house this weekend, my parents would be traveling and they won't be back till Tuesday , we can have some boys time together." Darrell said.

" Maybe some girls time too." Jasper added and they laughed.

" Yeah we should". Dylan said . " I'm thinking of doing something memorable for the people here, watch." He said and left with his tray. Dylan carried his tray and walked to the direction where Kiara and her friends were sitting, as he got closer to their table, he pretended to slip and threw his plate to Ashley causing the food in his plate to pour on her, the other students on seeing Ashley covered in spaghetti started laughing. Kiara who had been trying hard to control herself started shouting at Dylan but he shut her up with a plate of spaghetti on her face, Kiara then reached for the plate nearest to her and bathed Dylan with a bowl of chocolate pudding. The other students who were watching gasped on seeing what Kiara had done and it gave her more guts to stand face to face with Dylan looking him right in the eye. Dylan stood shocked at what Kiara had done, he had never thought anyone of them would ever dare to challenge him as he thought they feared him. The other students drew closer forming a circle around them to have a better view of what was going to happen and when they weren't getting what they wanted they began chanting

'Fight, fight, fight'

" This is not good". Ashley said from where she was standing.

"He should slap her". Darrell said. " He really should slap her to show her who's boss."

" What in Christ's name is going on here". Mrs. Kate,one of their teachers was on her way to the principal's office when she saw the cafeteria in a chaos state, she came closer to know what was going on and found the students who were putting on the show ,one covered in chocolate pudding and the other in spaghetti.

"Dylan Russo". She called glaring at him and transferred the look to Kiara "What have you been told about fighting?". " You can't talk now huh?, well you know the rules, you know where you should be after school." She said and left.
