Chapter 52
Author’s POV
Leigh-Ann wanted to get into the female bathroom when someone covered her nose with a white handkerchief. When they were sure she had passed out, they carried her off.
Ariana who had been waiting outside for her saw how someone was being carried away and gasped on realizing who it was.
“Why are you telling us this? You should know you’re betraying your gang”
Ariana gulped hard and looked around. She was so scared for her friend’s life. “I know that Stiles. But she’s my friend too, I mean she agreed to do something nasty just to save my ass”
Stiles looked around not knowing what to do. He was confused and short of options at the moment. The Black Ass now had Leigh-Ann as their captive and he needed to do something before it got out of hand.
“We need to do something. We need to tell Daggers” Ariana whispered rather impatiently.
“Just stay out of this. No one should find out that you gave us this information. I’ll meet Daggers now” Stiles said and turned to walk off but Ariana held him by the arm and gave him a quick peck on his lips.
It was so quick that none of them realized how it even happened. Stiles being overly shocked stared at Ariana confused but she didn’t say a word as she turned and rushed off.

Daggers and his boys approached Quavo who sat at the cafeteria with other of his members. They had gotten the information about Leigh-Ann already.
“Oh, what a pleasant surprise, huh” Quavo smirked. He was rather surprised too.
“It won’t be more pleasant if you don’t release Leigh-Ann immediately.” Daggers snapped, his eyes bloodshot. Quavo laughed sarcastically then turned to his members.
“What’s he talking about huh?” When he realized the seriousness on Dagger’s face, he turned to face him squarely. “Last I checked, we had an agreement. But you decided not to honor it.”
“She’s my woman and I shouldn’t remind you that you’re not meant to lay your fingers on her” Daggers released the bombshell, making everyone gasp. Huh? Did he just mention that Leigh-Ann was his woman? Everyone thought.
“She wasn’t your woman when we made the deal, Daggers. I thought you were smarter than this”
Daggers didn’t respond but smirked. Everyone knew him as someone who didn’t talk much but as he did, they feared he might do something nasty.
“I’ll spare you the next one-hour Quavo. I know it’s pretty long but it’s just a spare. If you don’t provide her, prepare to get stripped of your position”
Quavo scoffed and smirked. “We’ll see about that, Daggers.
I hope you’ll still wear your pants to cover up your dick when this is all over”

Stiles’s POV
Goddamn it. I thought all these would come to an end by telling Daggers but it only worsened the situation.
I cannot tell Sir Kael about this or even drag him into this cause it’s none of his business. He sent her to school to study and not to be dragged by gang shits. If there’s anyone to save her then it’s me.
After raking my head for a proper solution but couldn’t get any, I decided to ask Max for help. He is one of the most intelligent persons I know and doesn’t run out of options in any case.
“Holy cow Stiles, have you lost it? It’s totally insane” He spluttered out and I sighed disappointedly.
I paced for some time then finally faced him. “I know. But it won’t hurt our asshole unless we give it a try”
“Oh, fine” Max finally responded with an eye roll. “What’s the plan?”
“She stole my necklace. I can’t understand why she would do that” Allison croaked and sobbed, shaking visibly.
“How do you know this is true? Did anyone see when it happened?” The Principal asked.
“Yes sir. Max said he caught her and when he threatened to make a report, she went into hiding”
“Max, is this true?”
“Yes sir, she’s a thief, a big fat one at that.” Max chipped in and I had to hold in my laughter. He was being so hilarious.
“I heard she’s an orphan but we don’t steal in CamBridge. I need my necklace back” Allison added, faking more tears. Okay, this is going as planned and I prayed it worked.
“Give me a minute. I’ll assign her teacher to fetch her” The Principal said and made to pick up the telephone on the desk.
“Sir… you should come on your own, her gang members might not tell the teacher where she is”
The Principal was quiet for some time as he observed every one of us in the room then finally, he dropped the telephone. “Let’s see to it”
Holy Shit, It’s working!
While I and Max stayed behind to avoid suspicions, Allison agreed to take the Principal to the Black Ass private room. Once the students saw him, they began moving away until he went to stand in front of the room.
“Where’s your leader?” He asked and immediately, one of the boys went in to fetch Quavo. “I hear you’re hiding one of the students who carried out a treacherous act. Where’s Miss Myers?”
Quavo scoffed and looked around as if scanning the area. “Am sorry Sir but I’ve got no idea”
“She’s in there. You’re hiding her” Allison yelled “Come outta there you thief!”
Quavo was quiet and seemed to be in deep thoughts. I’m sure he must be wondering where we came from.
“I’m coming in there to get you” Allison added and without warning, she ran into the room. After some time, she returned with Leigh-Ann, and with the look of things, she had already told her about the whole plan.
“Here she is. You thought you could escape huh? Where’s my necklace?”
“Miss Green, I’ll love to take it from here.” The Principal interrupted, then turned to Leigh-Ann ” Miss Myers…”
“I swear I didn’t steal any necklace. Please believe me, I never did”
From where I stood with Max, I watched silently and finally motioned Max to walk over and play his part. “Romildo… did you say you saw Miss Myers taking the necklace?”
Max itched his nape then looked at Leigh-Ann for some time “Um… no… um… she’s not the one. Jesus Christ, she’s got white hair or ash or…”
“Romildo… we’re being serious here”
“No, I’m sure of what I saw. It wasn’t an ash hair”
“Hey Alli… heard you’re looking for your necklace. You’ve forgotten you dropped it off with me when you went in to swim earlier today” Nadia cut in as she approached them with Drizel. I’ve never seen a perfect play before. This was the best but deep down, I hoped it didn’t end us in another mess.
Besides, all of us were in the same gang, The Bleeding Daggers so it wouldn’t cost us much because this looked exactly like what has been happening in the past weeks. Both gangs fighting against each other.
“Oh…” Allison squealed and took the necklace from Nadia
“Oh, thanks Nadia, I thought I’d lost it”Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
“Um… the necklace is found, I’m sorry Leigh. I… l thought you took it but don’t be mad at me okay?”

Leigh-Ann’s POV
After clarifying everything with the Principal, I followed the setup crew back to the cafeteria.
“What did they do to you, are you okay huh?” Ariana asked worriedly.
“Am fine. They didn’t touch me. Just made me feel comfortable.”
I couldn’t look up at Stiles. Ariana had told me this was all his idea. “Um… thanks guys, I really thought of how I’d escape”
“None required. We were all worried about you.” Stiles responded and I heaved relief. For the first time, I felt guilty due to the way I’ve been treating him.
“I need to get to the library” The guy who was with Stiles said and walked off.
“Um.. you should take her home. She looks exhausted. See ya tomorrow Leigh” Ariana said then hugged me before walking off.
It was now me and Stiles left.
“Am… um… thank you…”
“Don’t say it.” He cut in “I was totally worried and couldn’t even imagine going home without you”
