“Thank you.” El said to Crusher, who rolled his eyes.

“You've said, that for like a hundred time, El.”

She chuckled slightly, “I know, I just can't stop thanking you.”

“Well, I'm just glad, I could save you.” Crusher said, and El nodded, as an awkward silence followed.

“Crusher?” El called, cutting through the silence.

He looked up at her.

“Did you really like me, even before Nail?” She asked.

“Of course El…I loved you very much, even before Nail.” He replied, his tone tinged with sadness, “But you never noticed, sadly.”

“I did too.” El said, and he looked confusedly at her.

“What do you mean?”

“I mean, I liked you, but I always thought you had no times for girls, so when Nail, asked, I agreed, just so I could forget about you.” El confessed.

“Are you serious, right now?”

“Yes Crusher, I…” She couldn't complete when he slammed his lips on hers.

“It's not to late, we could still make it, together.” He said, reconnecting the kiss he had initially broken.

The kiss went on for some moments, and soon their clothes were seen flying in different angles.

As Lucia arrived, she didn't see Maeve and Jodie, come to meet her, as usual.

She made her way to class,hoping to find them, and yes, there they were.

They both glanced at each other before facing Lucia.

“You both didn't come to welcome me.” Lucia said with a smile.

“It's because we're done with the friendship.” Maeve said, without hesitation.

“What do you mean, you're done?” Lucia asked.

“We can't keep being friends with you, we wanna go our separate ways. Sorry if we hurt you.” Jodie said, as they walked away leaving Lucia who balled her first.

“They're useless anyways.” She muttered, before sitting on the desk.

“Lily, you've been reading, since we came to class, are you avoiding talking to me?” Lila asked Lily.

“Lila I'm not, I just wanna read, you can't be happy everyday can you?” Lily said, suppressing her anger.

Soon Sally and Tyler walked into class, attracting the attention of everyone.

*I'm I seeing right?*

*What's the nerdy girl doing with Jordan?*

*How dare she?*

“You see, I told you, this was a bar idea.” Sally whispered to him.

“Common, you agreed to be my tutor.” Jordan said, as he sat beside Sally.

“That doesn't mean we can walk around, together.”

“We only walked to class, Sally.” He told her, and she smiled, before facing the teacher that walked in.

*NIGHT TIME*

“I'm doing you both a favor, by letting you escape, so when you're out of here, it's up to both of you.” Lucia informed Daniel and Tanya, who had an expression, of fear, doubt, and a bit of guilt.

Take this.” Lucia handed them a car key, “Follow me.” She said, and they both nodded, following her,

“Don't you think, we're being selfish, by trying to escape without the others?” Tanya asked, in a whisper.

“No we're not. We can come back for them.” Daniel said, and Tanya, didn't say anything as they followed Tanya.

“The gate is open. You both leave!” Lucia said, as they both ran out immediately.

“Bye, to your doom.” Lucia said, as she made her way back into the clan.

A satisfactory grin, appeared on Daniel's face.

They both got into the car, and Tanya forced out a smile.

Daniel kicked the car start engine, as he began driving off.

The ride was a silent one, and it went on for about two hours, as Tanya fell asleep.

A gunshot, pierced through the air, awakening, Tanya.

“What's that?” Tanya asked, Daniel who also looked confused.

The gunshot came again, this time aimed at Tanya, but Daniel was quick to push her head down as the two bullets, shot, pierced into his head.

Tanya whose hear was bent, closed her ears tightly, after a while of silence, she raised her head up, and the sight that met her, made her Heart broken.

Daniel, with bullets, pierced into his head. Her body began to shake in shock, and then a bullet flew in, getting her by her arm.

“Daniel!!!” She yelled, like her life depended on it, before she passed out….
