"Don't you know that you shouldn't be swearing in front of the kids?" I ask as my eyes drift for a few seconds to Lily. He looks at me then frowns cutely.
"And you are?" he asks while crossing his arms over his chest, trying to appear intimidating.
"The owner of the land you're standing on," I reply and cross my arms too. He raises his eyebrows in surprise.
"Can I have your name?" he asks. I notice Alex rolling his eyes before taking Lily's hand in his and making their way to their house.
"Don't you have one?" I ask. I watch as he takes a deep breath, trying to control his breathing. I'm annoying the bad boy. Hell, he doesn't even know that I go to the same school as him. It hurts, but at the same time, I don't really give a shit.
"You look familiar," Ace says as he looks at me closely. "And you look hot," he continues as soon as his eyes set on my toned stomach.
"Did I ask you?" I ask with one eyebrow raised while taking a step back in the house. "Goodbye," I finally say and close the door on his face.
"Do you know that it's rude to close the door on the face of someone?" he asks in disbelief from behind the door.
"I also know that I'm not supposed to talk to strangers," I retort and chuckle.
"I'm your new neighbour, and you just had two kids that you barely know in your house!" he points out in disbelief. I can hear the irritation in his voice.
"Goodbye," I say again, knowing that he has a good point. I hear him huff in annoyance then walk away. I walk to my couch and let my body fall on it.
How will Ace react when he sees me at school tomorrow?
We never really cross each other's path, and he is too reserved with his little group of bad boys. I look at my television, and beside it, I see things that my granny bought for me: Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Wii. She won't let me buy my own things. I decide to play Call of Duty as I have nothing else to do. After Call of Duty, I put on Counter Strike. I'm always so good at games involving guns. On the other hand, if you tell me to drive in Need for Speed, be sure that I will lose.

Ace
I walk in my house and run directly to Alex's room. I barge in, then see him with his headset on, playing Grand Theft Auto. I pull the headset and watch as he jumps from his seat, his hand on his heart. He glares at me as I sit on his bed and stare at him, waiting for him to calm down. I could have given him a heart attack. I bite my lips to prevent myself from bursting out laughing as I need information from him right now.
"What's up?" I ask. Alex knows me too well. He takes a deep breath, then leans against his chair while staring at me lazily.
"What do you need?" he asks, crossing his arm over his chest and looking at me as if he had more power over me. I stand up, then cross my arms, showing him how I'm far more intimidating than him.
"I need her name," I simply say and watch as he chuckles in disbelief.
"Why do you need her name?" he asks.
"Because she looks familiar," I tell him. "What's her name?" I ask again and observe as he taps his chin, faking to be in deep thought.
"Her name is Madonna," he says, and I flick his head. I pull his chair towards me and glare at him.
"What's her name?" I ask again.
"M A D O N N A!" he says and pulls away. "Not my fault if she has a shitty name!" I search his face as he glares at me. Maybe he is telling the truth. "Now go!" he orders, and I roll my eyes. I walk out of his room, then enter mine. I sit on the edge of the bed and pull my laptop next to me. A few notifications pique my interest.
Party at Johnson's tonight!
I smirk at my screen.
Time to give my friends a call.
***
We crash in the party and watch as some guys cower away just to let us walk in. I run my hands through my hair and look at the grinding students. Nearly everyone is here. What if Madonna is here? I look around and keep myself alert for her black hair and hazel eyes.
"Hey, man, you zoned out," Daniel says as he punches my shoulder playfully.
"You're looking for a new prey?" Ted asks while looking around at the girls.
"They are girls, not prey," Justin mumbles with a sigh. He is the most mature and reserved one in our group.
"Sure, sure." Daniel dismisses Justin smugly then make his way towards a petite blond. He is a player while Ted is childish and stupid. Justin walks away, and I follow him with my hands in my pocket. Some drunk girls throw themselves at Justin, and once he gets rid of them, they come to me as I'm just behind.
"Damn, Justin, keep your girls away from me," I swear while fixing my jacket. Justin simply chuckles as I push a giggling drunk girl.
Annoying sound.
"Here." Justin hands me a bottle of beer as we lean against the bar. My eyes scurry the dance floor in search of Madonna, and Justin seems to notice that. "Who are you looking for?" he asks curiously.
"Madonna," I reply, and soon I realize how stupid I sounded when I see Justin's lips twitching in amusement. He raises his hand in surrender.
"I don't want to know," he replies and chuckles before taking a gulp of his beer.
AngelOne thing that I hate more than pink is Monday. I'm not a morning person, and the beeping of my alarm is annoying me as hell.
AngelThe English class is extremely boring. The teacher's voice is monotonous, and the only thing that I'm trying to do is keeping my eyes open. After a few minutes, a paper ball is tossed on my table.
AceI lean against the back of my chair and put my hands behind my head for support. I place my feet on the table. Now I feel comfortable!Just as I'm closing my eyes, Mr. Edwards walks in with his glasses hanging on his nose, and he fumbles with his papers. He lifts his head and looks at us."Feet off the table, Mr. Carter," he mumbles as he sits on the edge of his table and fixes his glasses so that he can see me."Good morning to you too, Mr. Edwards," I retorted sarcastically, then watched as the girls turn to swoon over me. Just as he is about to respond, maybe with a lame comeback, there is a soft knock on the door, and it opens."Oh, Ms. Harper, come here," Mr. Edwards says with a smile and motions the girl to walk in. She quickly catches my interest as my eyes rake over her. She is wearing denim shor
AngelAce Carter was in the freaking music class!Wait! Since when did you even bother about Ace Carter? I ask myself.Since he became my neighbour.That smirk on his face made him look so handsome. Maybe I made a mistake when I closed the door on his face.I'm sitting beside Riley in the cafeteria. Ally and Rachel walk to us with Sam following behind them. Rachel and Sam are our two other best friends who are also dating. But they are too lazy to move their asses so early in the morning to hang out with us. I offer them a smile as they sit with us."Heard that your voice struck again," Sam comments, and I roll my eyes. According to my friends, every time I sing, I make guys fall in love with me. A mermaid, they say. To be honest, there were two guys who asked my number today."No, it didn't." I defend myse
AngelRoom 16I groan as I glare at the white door. Way to waste my time! I walk in to see Mr. Edwards sitting with a book in his hands. He lifts his head to look at me."Ms. Harper," he greets and extends his hand to me so that I can give him the detention slip. "I didn't expect to see you here," he says with a glimpse of disappointment in his eyes. His words make my eyes snap to his."Never expect things from me." I make my way to the seat next to the window under the stare of the shocked teacher. I put my earphones in my ears and stare at the quarterbacks playing on the school playground. Typical school's stars. The cheerleaders stand near the playground and are cheering for the guys. I roll my eyes and lean against the chair, moving my head to the beats of the song and humming along. I tap my foot on the ground as the beats of the song get to
AngelTowel? Check!Bottle of water? Check!Gym clothes? Check!Hairband? Check!iPod? Check!I look at my stuff and tie my hair in a high ponytail. I put on leggings and a sweater before taking my bag and walking out of the house with my earphones in my ears. Gym sessions are simply awesome. I really need to release some tension.***AceI sit on the couch and toss a ball in the air, catching it and tossing it again. Alex is glaring at me. As revenge, I tied him with a rope to the chair and taped his mouth. Daniel and Justin are playing COD while Ted is busy painting Alex's face. I sit up and push the ball to the side."Hey, look wh
Angel"Who was that?" Ace asks as I walk home. The other three guys decided to stay at the gym for a few minutes, probably waiting for some girls. After the little session, Josh left, and he promised to visit me sometimes."Why are you even here?" I ask with a sigh, ignoring his question. The air is freezing so I let my hair loose over my shoulders, covering my neck."Do you really think that I'll let a beautiful girl like you walk alone? In the dark?" he asks, and even though I can tell that it is playful, I can sense the seriousness in his voice."Oh, since when does Mr. Bad Boy care?" I ask with a scoff and stop to look at him with a smirk."I don't," he simply says, and I roll my eyes. Yeah, this one actually hurts. I resume walking, and I put my hoodie on my head as it starts raining a bit."So, since when do you go to
Angel"Cut the crap, Angie!" Rachel shouts in disbelief. God! That girl has a loud voice. Again, the whole cafeteria turns to look at us."I'm being serious!" I whisper and look at Ally who is looking at me in amazement."You can't be friends with Ace Carter! In his dictionary, friends means friends with benefits!" Rachel warns and slaps her forehead. "God, don't tell me you already slept with him." She sighs, and my eyes widen."I think I'm going to punch you," I say, then watch as Riley chuckles at the seriousness of my words. I am 300% serious. "Do you really think I'll stand that low?"Rachel shrugs. That bitch fucking shrugged!"We're talking about Ace Carter here!" Rachel says. "The sex god! The king of the kings! The definition of hot!" Sam glares at the side of Rachel's head before clearing his throat, making her turn to look
