Chapter 10

Axel was scoffed at because he looked so unkempt and scraggy. It was supposed to be Gertrude's history class and everyone was in anticipation of his arrival.

He frowned deeply and inwardly where he sat. His best pals weren't present in class because of an impromptu group meeting outside history they had to attend and they took excuses.

He would have had someone to talk to, to feel less bad.

His palms pressed hard against his chest as he wished that the cacophony and fracas could end in a second.

The jest made lumps grow in his throat which made him feel uncomfortable.

It got to a time when his cheek burned in anger when he couldn't take it anymore and bobbed his eyes shut.

Hayden and Ryan alongside the hardy Boyz stormed into the class.

Axel's eyes twitched because he felt bad. The corner of his lips fell towards the floor.

He was prudent enough to hide such emotions.

Even though he was the emotional type, he was very confident in himself that he would be able to get over her at the end of the day, if he gave himself time.

Hayden waggled towards him with Ryan's and the entire hardy Boyz and Axel was flustered because he thought that the deal about two months suspension would suppress his bullying attitude.

"Hey, you bonehead!" Hayden started at first and Axel who was unfazed had a sly grin at the corner of his mouth and smiled wryly.

"You dingbat!" Axel retorted succinctly and there was silence and some scoffed at the fact that Axel's insult was more intense.

"You know you are now a famous thief in the college!" Hayden exposed a sinister glint in his eyes.

"Of course not, I didn't steal anything and you were the one that accused me that I stole the letter that was given to me to clear me to finally return to the school," Axel growled.

"No, that's not the case, because that's not what I'm talking about but my gold wristwatch that was stolen," Hayden said.

"What!" Axel recoiled in shock as emotions churned up in his chest.

He was aghast at what he had been accused of. From one case to another, their vying relationship never ceases to end or take a break.

"Of course," Hayden said as he sat abreast of Axel at one of the desks by his side.

"Thank goodness I left you, if not I would be labelled as the girlfriend of a thief," Ryan rumbled.

Those cruel words bubbled tempestuously in Axel's heart as he mulled over.

He clenched his fist and gritted his teeth as his blood boiled in anger.

He knew he had to compose himself if he was just about to be set up by Hayden.

"I didn't steal anything. You are just trying to set me up because of what happened, so you can blame me all you want," Axel barked callously.

He was already pissed up by Hayden's unscrupulous acts and knew that he had to do something about it.

He knew he had to defend himself against such allegations against him.

Axel remembered that there was supposed to be a fresher party that evening.

"I would prove to you that I didn't steal your wristwatch at the fresher party today," Axel said succinctly.

"Alright, I would be waiting. But guess what, if you are wrong, you would kiss my foot and if not I would kiss yours," Hayden chuckled sadly.

Axel knew he was in for it and he had a plan to have it executed which was to simply prove himself innocent of all allegations against him.

"Alright, I accept," Axel stiffened, determined to take Hayden by his deal.
