👥: What is he saying?
👥: Out of all the girls in this school.
👥: Take me instead of her Liam.
” Shut up you all.” Amelia yelled and they kept shut at that instance.
” What.. what are you talking about Liam, it’s not possible.” Amelia said.
” Well it is, or do want more proof?” Liam said slowly sliding his hand through her waist.
Matilda gasped silently at that, she was so confused that she couldn’t react.
” Fuck you.” Amelia said before storming out of the cafeteria angrily.
Matilda jolt out of her imaginations at that instance and held Liam’s hand pulling him out of the cafeteria.
” Hey be careful.” Liam said.
” What did you just do back there, who the hell are you to do that without my consent huh.” Matilda said angrily with evidence of anger in her voice.
” Listen, I know how I did it was wrong but my intentions were right. Amelia wouldn’t just realized that I can’t be with her, a Playboy like me wouldn’t fall in love. I just want her to get off my back that was why I told her you are my girlfriend.” Liam said.
” So you couldn’t find any other girl apart from me right? What of all the girls you fvck around.” Matilda said.
” I can’t tell her that, because she will surely make her life hell and mistreat her. She knows you to be a tough girl so she wouldn’t want to trespass.” Liam said and without wasting time Matilda left the place angrily.
Liam sighed and he went back to the cafeteria.
👥: There he comes
👥: Still can’t believe he has a girlfriend
Liam walked to the girl earlier and whisper to her ear.
” Follow me.” Liam instructed and she did as he said.
<< LEOS arena>>
Liam entered the room with the girl and she fidgeted a bit.
” What’s wrong, do you want to go back?” Liam said.
” No no, I just.. I was thinking of what you said earlier. Do you really have a girlfriend?” The girl said and Liam chuckled.
” Fvck love, fvck girlfriend. I am not in a relationship, do you really think I have a girlfriend. That’s never going to happen, with that said can we start.” Liam said.
” Yes sure.” The girl said happily and she start striping.
<< Lily’s class>>
Lily’s gaze was still on her book when she felt someone walking towards her and she raised her head to see a finely structured body made girl with a pretty face.
“Hi.” The girl waved.
” Hello.” Lily said.
” Am Scarlett.” Scarlett said.
” Lily, nice meeting you.” Lily said.
” Same here, can I sit with you?” Scarlett said.
” Of course.” Lily answered.
” Hmm hmm, do you kinda know that boy?” Scarlett said pointing to a direction
Lily looked at the direction and her eyes caught up with Steve whom was staring at her.
” Why is he staring.” Lily mumbled.
“That’s Steve, one of the LEOS. He is the most gentle, nicest and the coolest among his friends. I have noticed he had been staring at you.” Scarlett said.
” Yeah, I met him already and he asked me to be his friend, kind of weird.” Lily said.
” Oh my gosh, you met Steve and he asked you to be his friend. Wow, can’t believe.” Scarlett said.
” I don’t make male friends that easily so I rejected.”
” What, you rejected. Please please accept, so that you can introduce me to him later on please.” Scarlett said and Lily nodded.

“She went out.” Mr Miller said while drinking his alcohol.
” Okay, Dad I love to give you a simple advice.” Matilda said and her father frowned.
” You really should quit all these bad behaviors before it’s too late. It’s really doesn’t make me and mom happy. Just know that once you lose us, you are going to regret it.” She said that and left the room leaving him to ponder on it.

“I will go with you.” Oliver said.
“No, Steve will come along.” Liam said and Steve nodded.

They began to look for them inside and all around the resort but they couldn’t find them.
“Let’s go towards the forest or else where.” Steve said and Liam nodded.
As they were going, Liam gazed at Steve’s face before asking him a question.
“Who are you doing this for, Matilda or Lily.” Liam asked.
“What do you mean, am just helping you out.” Steve said.
“Really? That’s a lie, just tell me the truth already.” Liam said.
“Fine, you caught me. It’s Lily, I like her a lot.” Steve said.
“Wow, nice choice. Happy for you.” Liam said and he chuckled.
They spotted a forest and they went towards it calling out Matilda and Lily’s name loudly.
<< Forest >>
Matilda and Lily were just roaming around the forest trying to find a way out with Lily clutching onto Matilda’s arm fearfully.
“Why, why had we come here in the first place.” Lily said crying.
“Don’t worry okay? Am with you.” Matilda said patting Lily’s hair.
They walked forward and they noticed a snake was following them. Lily was still staring around when she sighted the snake and she freaked out.

“Lily, what’s wrong?” Matilda asked and she pointed to the snake.
“Stay away Lily.” Matilda said as she held her hand and they started running.

“Matilda, Matilda. What’s happened to her.” Liam said as they ran towards them.
“She… she had been bitten by a snake.” Lily said with tears in her eyes.
“What! Snake?”. Liam said as he tried to find the spot.
He found the spot and he started using his mouth to ooze out the blood from the spot before tying a piece of cloth on it. Just then, Lily fainted.
“Lily, Lily!” Steve called as Lily fell in his arm.
“She passed out, common let’s carry them back to the resort.” Liam said and he nodded before they carried them.
“But you might faint before we get there .” Steve said.
“Don’t bother, I will manage.” Liam said and he nodded.
<< Back to the resort>>
They all waited worriedly for them outside and a girl shouted upon seeing them. The teachers had figured out what’s happened as they explained it all to them.
” Look,they are here.”
All of them stood up Immediately as they brought them towards the students.
👥: Liam is carrying the tomboy
👥: That’s unlike him,he even volunteered to go look for them
Some of the students murmured among themselves while Amelia just gritted her teeth angrily.
” What’s happened to them.” One of the teachers asked.
” Matilda had been biting by a snake though I had did some kinds of things to ooze out the blood while she… She fainted.” Liam said and he fainted, they all gasped.
” I will call a doctor.”
<< An hour later>>
The doctor had checked on both of them and they had fell asleep, After an hour, Matilda woke up.
She opened her eyes slowly to see that she was weak.
” Arrgh, why am I so weak?” Matilda muttered as she saw Emma walked towards her worriedly.
” You have finally woken up,thank goodness.” Emma said.
” What had happened to me and Lily?” Matilda said and she looked at sleeping Lily besides her.
” What happened to Lily, I..had been bitten by a snake and… Who saved us and how did we end up here.” Matilda said.
” Liam and Steve saved you both, Liam had ooze out the snake poison with his mouth so he had fainted.” Emma said.
“What! Liam saved me, where is he now?” Matilda asked.
“He is resting in his room.” Emma said and Matilda stood up Immediately.
“Where are you going.” Emma asked.
“To see him.” Matilda said.
“But…” Emma didn’t get to complete her statement before Matilda went out.
<< LEOS room>>
Liam also woke up to see his friends looking at him worriedly.
“You are awake.” Steve said.
“Where’s Tilda, I mean Matilda.” Liam said.
“She is still in her room.” Elliot responded.
Liam immediately got down from the bed and Oliver raised his brows.
“Where do you think you are going.” Oliver said.
“To Meet her.”
“But you are still weak.” Steve said.
“Don’t bother about me, and please none of you should try and stop me.” Liam said before going out of the room.
Matilda saw Liam and Liam saw Matilda and they walked closer to each other.
“Thank God you are fine, why huh, why did you have to risk your life to save mine. What were you thinking tell me, don’t you ever try that again, do you know how worried I was when I heard you saved me, Don’t ever…” Matilda was cut short by a hug from Liam.
“Shhhh, you talk too much.” Liam said softly and release her.
“I was worried.” Matilda said and Liam smiled.
“How are you now, hope you aren’t feeling that weak?” Liam said.
“Am fine, thank you so much.” Matilda said.
“You are welcome.” Liam said before they gazed into each other eyes.
“Now go rest because you still need more strength to fight especially with me.” Liam said and she Chuckled.

Matilda was still going when she stopped immediately and ran to hug him again.
“Thank you.” Matilda said softly.
“It’s okay, now go.” Liam said.
“Bye.” She said as she waved and he waved back.

After she had gone, Oliver came out of his hide place. He had been watching them all through and was fuming with anger.
“Liam, what do you think you are doing huh?” Oliver said angrily.
“What did I do.” Liam shrugged.
“I know you are just playing with her emotions and I won’t allow that. You know I like her,so stop with these act you are trying to play. She doesn’t like playboys, do you think you can make her fall for you?” Oliver stated.
“Well,if it’s about that,am willing to stop being a play boy just for her but I won’t stop anything am doing.” Liam said and Oliver’s anger increased.
“If you try that,just know that our friendship will be broken for life.” Oliver said and walked away. Liam just scoffed.
