Ah, how long has it been?
How long has it been since all three kings were interested? How long has it been since the kings were interested in a girl - the same girl? Since Jenny?
Well, it doesn't really matter, cause none of them really remember.
"I said it first." Dae-Hyun argued.
"Well I saw her first." Javier growled.
"Boys. Let's not kid ourselves." Marcus spoke making the two turn to him and scoff.
The lightest skinned amongst them scoffed, "Just kid yourself then, you're second to both of us."
The darkest skinned amongst them laughed, "What? Isn't it just better if we make a deal instead of fighting over her?"
The sun kissed man crossed his arms, "What kind of deal?"
"The only deal us kings can make, the best kind," Marcus smirked. "We should welcome her to our kingdom, then we should break her in."
"Are you suggesting we beat up a Dahlberg girl?" Dae-Hyun raised his brows, stressing out his last words, as they were the most important after all.
Marcus sighed and nodded his head in disapproval. "Why would I let you touch her when I want her to keep her for myself in the end?"
Dae-Hyun glared at him and stepped closer, "I called dibs first."
Javier scoffed a dry chuckle, "But I saw her first!"
"Boys," Marcus scolded, raising the tension between them all up a scale.
This was no foreign sight. It wasn't a surprise the kings were fighting each other, knives at each other's throats.
Fact was it was a lot more surprising that they hadn't been an incident for an entire two months with them. It was quite boring for those gossipers who had resorted to back-stabbing each other to entertain themselves. This peace would've lasted for a month longer, but it seems that that is all changed.
"Call me boy again, I dare you." Dae-Hyun spat.
Marcus pulled back a bit but only to laugh, "Isn't she something; it's her second day, and yet, look at the damage she's already done." He looked among his fellow kings, "That's why we should make her pay."
Javier chuckled dryly, tightening his crossed arms, "You see, you keep saying that but, so far, I haven't heard anything interesting at all."
Marcus pursed his lips in a small smile, "Whoever gets to make her break and fall first gets to keep her."
The three of them looked at each other, seemingly satisfied with that. "But before we get into the specifics of that, we have to give her a wholesome King Langley welcome, don't you think?"
"I can't believe still don't have an English teacher. My parents did not pay for my tuition just so I could hear Kai snore in class for the thousandth time." Nina muttered, annoyed, as we made our way to the cafeteria.
Kai shrugged at Nina's statement.
"I can't believe Lilac talked back to the kings." Cece spoke at
I chuckled, "I can't believe you find that hard to believe."
Nina laughed as we pushed the doors open, "Iconic I tell you, you are iconic."
As I laughed and walked through the entrance of the place, a loud voice resounded in the great expanse of the cafeteria.
"ATTENTION, ATTENTION. THE KINGS HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT!"
"Kings? As in all three of them together?" Gail knit her brows and turned to Cece who looked just as surprised as her.
Then upon the center table, three guys stepped up, quite obviously looking at me.
"As I was absent yesterday, the boys thought all three of us should welcome our new student, for not only is she Lilac Dahlberg of Prime & Paramount Enterprises," Dae-Hyun halted for effect, everyone around us mumbling, "But she happened to get on all of our nerves today. Exciting right?"
Gasps and mumbling noises then sounded all around.
"What my pal Dae-Hyun is trying to say is that we forgot to welcome our newbie properly, the Langely Academy way, so we now are making up for it," Javier continued, smirking devilishly.
"Pal my ass," Cece growled under her breath.
"Now, without further ado, boys..." Marcus extended his hand.
Quickly, I was taken and carried by two boys over to the table where the kings were. I squealed and attempted to wrangle out of their clutches, but beside the sound of my shrieks and the two guy's grunts, nothing happened.
"PUT HER DOWN, DOUCHEBAG!" the voice of Kai boomed out. I got to turn my head and see he was being held back by not just one, but four guys, and a separate one had a been cupping his nose.
The guy that was holding his nose pulled his hand away, revealing it was bloody. This boy then lunged at Kai who was being held by 4 people. He punched Kai on the face and he went out cold. The girls, Cece, Gail, and Nina screamed and pushed the guys of the now unconscious Kai.
I continued to attempt wrangling out. The girls began to fight my captors.
"Don't," the guy holding my legs warped Gail who attempted to help me. Nina and Cece was bringing Kai to a vacant table.
"You wouldn't hit a girl, Vanstrann." Gail barked pulled away from the guy's grip.
"Maybe, but don't force me though." The guy bit back.
Once I was now in front of the three devious idiots, they all looked at me with evil and amused smirks. "My, my, my, Dahlberg," Javier started, "look at you all flustered."
My knit brows deepened as the two guys that carried me finally put me on my feet. They kept their hands on my wrists though. It was then I realized they were twins. Again, could've been cute except they were human trash cans for what they're doing.
"It seems that you get people to be loyal to you really quick." Marcus spoke, looking down at me. "I guess your dad could learn a thing or two from you."
"SHUT UP!"
"Hoooo, I like her too much!" Dae-Hyun whistled.
The smirk on their faces faded, and quickly, the two men gripping me suddenly jolted away. I was instantly rained upon and drenched in a sour smelling liquid. I shut my eyes and gasped, in turn tasting it.
It was vinegar.
They doused me in vinegar.
Oh gosh, had this gone to my eyes, I would've gone blind.
My ears rang in silence as I gasped.
"Welcome to Langely Academy!" the three kings then laughed in unison.
"Holy fuck! what the hell happened to you?" my brother grimaced and pulled back due to the sharp smell I still possessed even after washing myself as much as I could in the school's bathroom.
"Who the fuck did this to you, I swear-" "Please, just take me home." I spoke feeling absolutely helpless.
I gave him my bag, not wanting to get my stench on it, and trailed off holding my socks, jacket, shoes and sweater in my hand, leaving me only in a hoodie Gail lent me and my still smelly skirt.
"My baby's this way," my brother said, grabbing my forearm.
I raised my brow, "You got your cherry baby already?"
"Who did this to you?" he repeated, ignoring what I said. He turned to me quickly and pushed me into his red car went we got to it.
Once he got into the driver's seat next to me, he got my damp clothes and threw them at the back seat.
"Roux those are wet, your leather seats-"
"Who the fuck cares about leather seats at a time like this?" he growled. "Tell me who did this to you."
I looked at him and clenched my jaw. I huffed but answered my brother, "The three kings of Langley Academy."
I wiped my freshly showered hair off with a towel. Thank all things sweet there wasn't anyone home besides my brother and I. It made for a lot less explaining to do.However, on the other hand, my brother had a lot of explaining to do to me."Those damn punks! I can't believe they even got a king after I left!" Roux mumbled making me roll my eyes."It's all your fault then! If an egotistical moron like you hadn't made a dumb hierarchy then I nor anyone else would have to deal with shit like this."Roux gave a guilty look and shook his head, "Tulila, I didn't elect myself. I became king because that's what everyone started calling me." He shuffled on my plush bed where we had lazily propped ourselves on. "And I never went after anyone who didn't cross me, especially not without good reason. I usually just got into trouble with my own friends or those jerks from M.A.C."I chuckled dryly, noting the fac
"I cannot believe that happened," Javier growled, leaning against the chair's backrest which he had in front of him."But I got to say, it'll make the win a lot more satisfying," Marcus mumbled in reply."True," another voice spoke out lowly, sinisterly. The two turned to the tall, pale man whose arms were crossed and whose back was against the wall. "I will get my revenge on him." he spoke, nonchalant, though he clenched his jaw so tight it would've broken his teeth.Marcus' brow raised automatically upon hearing that. "Are you honesty that stupid? Don't you know who he is?"The man scoffed at that and felt a tendon of anger be pulled in him, "Does he know who I am?"He pushed himself from where he leaned. "I'M LEE DAE-HYUN!"Marcus shot up from the seat he sat on, "AND I'M MARCUS D'FROI!" He huffed sharply. "But who the hell cares because he's Roux Dahlberg; he's long left the shadow of his father. He is no player to disregard." 
"Ugh, I swear, if no one shows up and Kai starts snoring..." Gail groaned, trailing off, making the said snorer laugh in amusement."Hey, it's not my fault I do this! And anyway, I heard there finally is going to be a new English teacher and I hear she's young and hot."Cece rolled her eyes and kicked Kai's leg, under the chair from behind him.Gail, who sat in the middle of my and Kai's shoulders slammed her head on the table.And Nina, who was chatting up with some people on her phone, silently turned around at us then back to her screen, nodding her head in disapproval.Kai's bruised cheek, by the way, was not too visible now.Just as someone else altogether was about to complain about the lack of facilitators present, the front door swung open and the sound of heels clicking on the ground followed."Good morning," files and a bag was placed on the front desk, "Long story-sh
"What do mean Javier apologized?" Cece practically fainted. "AND WHAT THE HECK IS 'HE EVEN INVITED ME TO LUNCH' SUPPOSED TO MEAN?""I mean he kept bothering me the whole day yesterday and I don't even know why." I groaned as I stuffed my bag in my gym locker to the right of Cece's, which was next to Gail's, which was next Nina's. It was a miracle that we all had PE class together, along with English; even Kai was here, just not here-here because, well, this was the girl's locker room."But WHY?" Cece groaned out and sighed, slamming her locker door shut. "What possessed that man to be like that all of a sudden?" Nina added."Honestly, I have no clue." I spoke as I crouched down and tied my shoe lace."He probably must've hit his head or something." Gail scoffed a chuckle. "But whatever it is, it seems fishy so don't let your guard down, Lilac." she added makig me smile."Don't worry, I won't.""Okay, gather
"Sit down before the devil comes!" I whisper-yelled to Gail who was pacing around the room in order to get a good signal on her phone.You are correct if you assumed that we were currently in history class and the teacher of the hour was, indeed, Mr. Pozwich, the lord of darkness himself.Gail huffed and sprang over to me, her seat being to the left of mine after all. She huffed and sat on her chair, violently tapping the screen of her phone where the resend button was. She cussed and dropped the object in frustration, absolutely done with trying.I chuckled just as she groaned."Shut up, I'm waiting for a really important text, okay.""Ooooh, is it from your boyfriend?" I teased.She narrowed her eyes at me and pushed my shoulder, "No. It's from my mom."I wiggled my eyebrows, "Course it is."Just as she glared, all the sound and all the life in the room died down and along came our favorite tea
I was now in English class, sitting next to Kai, who I also was chatting up while we did our first seatwork. The chatting particularly revolved around the fact I was going to be doing a group project with Dae-Hyun at will be doing it his house."At least Andy will be there. He would never let that jerk do something to you." Kai grumbles.I raise a brow and purse my lips, "Is Dae-Hyun really that bad?""Lilac," he groans out as he turned his body to me, "How can you even give him the benefit of the doubt after what he did to you?"I groan and curl my arms together, resting my head on them, "I don't know, I just... I don't work like that. I'm hopelessly optimistic sometimes."Kai sighs, "You wanna know somethin'? I resent him most.""Why?"He chuckled dryly, "Why? Well, because he and I used to be friends at one point in time."My jaw dropped; I nearly fainted. "You, you in all your cute sunshine, used to be friends with people that go around pouring vinegar on other people?"He clenched
Andy and Daehyun were still staring each other down when a group of voice broke out, "I told you, I didn't leave the -".Andy, Dae-Hyun and I turned to the source, surprisingly gazing upon Javier, Marcus, and a girl with designer pumps. Both them and us having gotten silenced by the sight of each other, it was yet another voice that spoke up which brought us back to reality.I couldn't understand what he said since it was in Korean.Just then, Dae-Hyun's older brother walks off to where he should be going. I watch as he does."Hyung, were you talking about me?" Javier muttered questioningly, half-mockingly, I would think. From what limited things I know of Korean, I think the word Javier said meant olde brother. he groaned, apparently knowing well how his name is spoken in Korean.Dae-Hyun turned to the guy and smirked, but then suddenly his face dropped, "What are you three doing here?""What is she doing here?" Marcus countered and nodded my way.Dae-Hyun scoffed in a chuckle, "It's
"WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKEUPWAKEUPWAKEUUUUPPP!" a rude, tiny voice shouted and shook me in my bed. I, in turn, whinced and groaned loudly, begrudingly opening my eyes and seeing my sister and brother sprawled on me bed with annoyingly large smiles on their faces."TULILA YOU HAVE TO GET YOUR STINKY BUTT OFF YOUR BED, IT'S LATE!" my sister called, bouncing on the mattress, making me roll over to see what time it was."GAHH, IT'S 5:46 IN THE MORNING!""Yeah, but you have to get reaaaadddy!" Periwinkle dragged out, resting her head on my stomach, making me sigh at her cuteness, "Periwinkle, it's a Saturday!""But," another voice spoke, "remember how we promised we'd take her jogging with us after we moved and got all sorted out?" Roux stated with a smirk that meant, 'if I don't sleep, neither do you.'I groaned in remembrance and pushing my sister softly away, rolling the other side, "Five more minutes.""Nope. We gunna go NOOOW!" Periwinkle growled in all her cuteness. She
