Chapter 661 - Six Hundred And Sixty-One: The Fight
The third point of view:
Ailee was busy going through her locker when a sudden commotion drew her attention. Lo and behold, it was her brother Allen and he was pushing Eve Donovan up against a locker.
Eve? When did she arrive? They were back to school?
However, Ailee quickly turned around because she didn't want to witness this public display of affection between the both of them - she had no doubt Allen and Eve were about to make out.
But then the growl from her brother and the painful yelp from Eve told Ailee that everything wasn't as she thought. So she turned around to understand what was going on and was stunned at the tension between them.
"You copied my answers, didn't you?!" Allen growled into her face.
"What?" Eve looked confused and stunned at the same time.
"The Maths test we took on your first day at school, I failed one while you got a perfect score. How is that possible?!"
Ailee frowned as she recalled the test they had taken on the first day the Donovan twins came to school. How could Eve get a perfect score? Ailee got an answer wrong as well and had been hoping that Allen would be the one to get a perfect score since he's the almighty Allen - note the sarcasm.
"How is that possible?" Eve snorted, "Of course, it's possible!" She said fearlessly even though Allen held her shoulder firmly, and Ailee had no doubt his nails were digging into the poor girl's skin. Her brother was not the best at controlling his anger.
"You peeked at my answers!" he accused her.
"I did not!" She refuted his claim, "You said it yourself, I got a perfect score while you failed a question. If I had indeed copied from you, I would have failed alongside you as well," She pointed out.
"No, you're too good a pretender," Allen didn't believe her one bit, "I thought you were like the other dumb girls out there,"
"Well, how does it feel to know that not everyone wants to scratch your itch," she retorted.
"No, you're too smart. You must have stolen my answers and combined it with your knowledge to get a perfect score," Allen still hasn't given up on his accusation.
Eve rolled her eyes, "Sorry to disappoint you but you're so full of yourself. Why don't you just admit your defeat and stop being a sore loser," She told him and then shrugged off his grip that had gone loose on her shoulder after her comment.
Allen released a deep breath and cracked his neck and that was when Ailee recognized that look, he wasn't letting go of that matter. Geez, can't he give up for once!
"I'm sorry as well because I hate liars the most," Allen said and tried to grab her by the collar.
"Allen, stop it!" Ailee tried to stop him, already deciding on getting between them.
However, before she could get to them or even for Allen to touch Eve, someone grabbed her brother and
jerked his arm up behind his back
with a burning twist before pushing him into the nearest locker, restraining him.
"Are you okay?" Theodore was the one who stopped Allen, "Did he hurt you?" he asked his sister concerned, still pressing the furious Allen against the locker.
"No, I'm good," Eve answered, brushing the strands that had come undone from her ponytail away from her face.
"Good," Theodore said, "Because I would have really killed him if he had laid a hand on you," he was angry as well and finally released Allen.
"You son of a bastard!" Allen cursed as soon as he was free and swung a blow at Theodore who dodged it easily, however, it was enough time for Ailee to get to them.
"Alright, stop it!" She warned him, no, the both of them, "Stop it this instant!"
"Get out of my way, Ailee! I need to teach this bastard a lesson," Allen was angry.
For someone who always veered for the top and excelled in everything, Allen's ego was hit twice today. Eve defeated him in the matters of the brain while Theodore defeated him in a show of strength. It was a huge defeat to Allen and proved that both siblings were a formidable duo. They were better than him and he didn't like that.
"Sure come on! Come and try!" Theodore was prepared to defend himself as well.
"I said stop it both of you!" Ailee boomed and both men quieted down at once. None of them made a move but she knew the slightest provocation from both couples would stir up a fight again.
She turned to her brother, "Sure, go ahead and beat him up like the gangster you are, mom would be so proud of you!" her words dripped with sarcasm.
That comment from Ailee doused out the anger from Allen and his eyes cleared at once. He only glared at the Donovan twins and strode away. The students who had gathered around to watch the drama made a way for him to leave without him even issuing the order. They feared Allen and it was for good reasons.
Ailee didn't say a word to the Donovan twins and went in search of her brother. His attitude was getting worse day by day and it was beginning to irk her and she needed to speak to him about it.
However, no matter how Ailee searched for him, she couldn't find him and she knew he was intentionally avoiding her and her pep talks. Yes, she knew her twin like the back of her hand.
Ailee found herself at the back of the school and with no one present, she craved relief. With no one watching, Ailee brought out a cigarette and a?lighter, staring at it hesitantly.
She had promised herself never to smoke again but then, whenever she was extremely stressed, the urge hit her.
This was her dark secret and nobody knows of it - not even her family. Everyone thought she was a good girl, totally different from her brother. If only they knew she had her own demons and that she wasn't as perfect as they thought.
"Fine, just this once," Ailee sighed and put the cigarette in her mouth. However, just as she was about to light it, someone snatched it from her lips.
