I'M YOUR DOOM; KITTEN

★

4PM~PARIS, THE SCOTT'S MANSION*

A grey jeep entered the big compound and finally stopped right in front of the building.

"We are here young miss" The driver said and Marigold yawned tiredly,flight all the way from Korea down here wasn't easy at all,she wanted to pass out.

She lived with her granny in Korea since she was ten,but just two months ago,her granny died. She had to wait up to this moment because of her university entrance exam and finally got admission into the most popular school here in Paris.

"Daebak!!" She groaned almost forgetting the little white kitten on her laps.

"Oh Milky,we are home" She carried her and opened the door,as soon as she stepped down,she saw her mom coming out. The driver was already offloading her things from the car booth.

"Mom!!" Marigold immediately dropped Milky and ran to her.

"Baby!! I missed you!" Mrs Scott screamed,hugging her tightly.

"I missed you too mom,a lot" Marigold pouted.

They broke the hug and Mrs Scott cupped her cheeks.

"Baby got cuter than the last time I saw you,you're so cute,my baby" She hugged her again.

"I'm no longer a baby mom,I'm nineteen now and I will be a college student in few days" Marigold said.

"You're still my baby,come on in. Let's go,I was so right in time,I just finished preparing food,you should freshen up and then eat" Mrs Scott said.

The housemaid was already packing her bags inside the house with the help of the driver.

"You know her room right?" Mrs Scott asked.

"Yes ma'am" Kate replied.

Marigold carried Milky and went in with her mom.

"Where's brother?" She asked.

"School,but I'm sure he will be back soon,he promised not to stay out late because of you" Mrs Scott smiled,touching Mari's hair.

"Kate,please show her the room. Hurry up and go get fresh,I will dish out your food"

"Love you mom" Marigold kissed her cheek and followed Kate upstairs.

She was showed the room,her bags already completed there.

"Thank you" Marigold smiled and closed the door,she looked around and smiled.

"I love it,Milky what do you think?"

"Meow" The little cat jumped down from her hand and started walking round the room.

"I guess you love it,me too" She smiled cutely and fell on the bed.

"I'm so tired I can't even remove my clothes!" She groaned,closing her eyes.

"But I'm starving too" She immediately got up and went to open the empty closet.

"Gosh,I have a lot to do" She shook her head,she undressed first and walked to her bag,she took one of her towels and went into the bathroom only to find three beautiful towels in there.

"Oh,amazing" She smiled and dropped the towel,she stood under the shower,the first splash of water on her body made her smile.

"Finally,Best friend I missed you" She moaned.

*

Xavier entered the house and was about going upstairs when he heard Mrs Scott's voice from the dinning room .

"Mom I'm home!" He said loudly and went to meet her.

"You're back son...."

"Wait,what's the food for?" Xavier asked.

"Because the princess is back,what else?" The tiny voice behind him made him turn at once.

"Mari!" He called.

"Oppa!" Marigold also called and jumped on him as they hugged each other.

"Oppa? Since when did you start speaking korea?" Xavier dropped her.

"I regret not learning fast......"

"You're not a Korean anyway,quit it" Xavier roughed her hair.

"I missed you so much brother,a lot" She said,settling to sit down

"Me too,I'm so happy you're finally here,you look more pretty" Xavier sat opposite her.

"I was about saying that,you look so tall,handsome and masculine,how many girlfriends do you have now? I'm sure they won't let you rest" Marigold said excitedly.

"Stop being curious and eat" Xavier said.

"I'm eating already,so tell me....."

"I don't have a girlfriend,happy now?" Xavier asked.

"I'm not happy,you should get one already" Marigold pouted.

"I will think about it" Xavier said and Mrs Scott shook her head

"You've been saying the same for three years already" She said and Marigold laughed.

"Mom you don't really have to do that" Xavier mumbled.

"Are you scared of asking a girl out?"

"Hey,quit talking about girls. Freshman classes already started,you should be asking me about school" Xavier said.

"I just want to have fun,gosh" Marigold rolled her eyes.

"I wonder how Paris is like,I can't wait to experience everything" She muttered.

"I'm going to take you out on a drive tonight for a start,trust me you will love it"

"You're the best brother in the whole world,trust me" Marigold grinned.

"I know" Xavier chuckled.

"Dad called,it's so sad to know he's not in the city right now,I missed him more" Marigold pouted.

"He should be back by weekend,it's a business trip" Mrs Scott replied.

*

THE BROWN'S MANSION*

Jericho entered the house nonchalantly,not caring the fuck about what was happening in the world,not after another careless driving which almost got him locked behind the bar.

He saw his dad on the couch in the living room and acted like he didn't see him,he wanted to just go upstairs.

"Jericho!" Mr Brown called angrily and Jericho groaned.

"Geez,not again" He mumbled and managed to turn.

"You have nothing to say?! Really?! You really want to spoil my reputations right? That's what you're after! You're not my only son but it's you every fucking time,what is your problem!!" Mr Brown yelled angrily.

Jericho said nothing,he just stood there.

Mrs Brown came downstairs after hearing her husband's voice.

"You're going to just keep mute?! Do you know how many times you almost got locked for your crazy attitude?! Do you know how I got my money do you!! You should have gotten locked up if didn't save your @ss......"

"Who sent you?" Jericho asked.

"What?! Who sent me?...."

"You should have left me there! Fuck" Jericho snapped.

"Jericho!" Mrs Brown shouted.

"Caution your husband,high blood pressure is real" Jericho muttered.

"How dare you!" Mrs Brown shouted.

"It's always funny the way you two always pretend to be concerned whenever it comes to you spending some shit you called money. Isn't that the only way to get your damn attention?!! And all you care about is your reputation,,I still wonder how you always manage to save my @ss,I thought the plan is for the public to know you have only one son,are you scared I might mention you as my dad one day? Well sorry,I am not even ready to show you off either,so stay in your place and let me do what I want" Jericho scowled.

"Why would I show the world you're my son? Give me a reason,you're a disgrace to this family,I can only be proud of a son who is hardworking and not useless like you!" Mr Brown snapped back.

Jericho chuckled and brought out a wrapped stick of weed.

"Jericho don't you dare do that here" Mrs Brown said.

"Not like I'm your son for you to tell me what to do" Jericho muttered and light up his weed.

The door opened and Felix entered.

"Oh,your perfect son is here" Jericho smiled but the smile changed into a frown almost immediately,he puffed his smoke into the air and went upstairs.

"Is there a problem?" Felix asked.

He's the first son,and all the love is gathered around him,he manages the family company and he's well known among older billionaires. Mr Brown show him off every opportunity he gets that some parents even get jealous.

"Your brother,can you at least talk some sense into him on how to behave?!" Mr Brown said.

"I don't even want him to influence my son,let him be" Mr Brown said.

"I will talk to him mom,don't get worked up" Felix smiled and pecked her cheek.

"Dad,I have a lot of News to share,I will be back" He said.

"I can't wait son,I'm always here" Mr Brown said proudly

*

Jericho was in his room already,he was smoking aggressively when the door opened And Felix entered.

"Hey....."

"Get out"Jericho snapped before he landed.

"Can you at least respect me......"

"Fuck off!" Jericho snapped.

"Fine" Felix sighed and turned to go.

"Close the door behind you" Jericho said.

He disposed his weed ashes and went to take his phone on the bed,countless messages and when he started checking one by one,they are different nudes sent by different girls.

"

Jericho sighed and threw his phone back on the bed,he walked into the dressing room and then entered the bathroom.

Minutes later,he returned back into the room with just a towel around his perfect white smooth skin. He looked so sexy,on the side of his tummy is a tattoo of a beautiful rose flower and on his back is another tattoo of a red eyes dragon. He pulled back his wet hair which covered his right eyes,he has one tiny black mole on the side of his nose close to his eye making him even more handsome.

He heard the buzzing sound of his phone and he went for it,he opened the new text,it's from Franco,his only and best friend. The only person who can deal with his attitude.

FRANCO: Mom made some gimbap and beef bulgogi,she want me to ask if you could come over.

Franco's mom is a korean and she prepares these food a lot,Jericho love Korean meal a lot so she never forget to call him anytime she make some,she would even pack the food and send Franco to give Jericho if he doesn't show up.

JERICHO: Thirty Minutes.

He dropped his phone after he texted back and went to get dressed.

He walked into bedroom when he finished dressing up looking crazily expensive even though he was being simple,his thick hair dropped on two sides of his face,covering his two eyes a little,leaving just the middle. He picked up his phone and walked out of the room.

He got downstairs and met his dad and Felix chatting,he ignored it and walked toward the door.

"Where are you going?" Felix asked.

"Stupid question" Jericho scoffed and went out,closing the door loudly behind him.

He walked to the garage and climbed on his superbike,he used the helmet and rode off.

*

JENKINS MANSION*

Franco opened the door and groaned when he saw Jericho.

"You said thirty minutes dude,I was starving,you know I was waiting" Franco said.

"You should have just ate" Jericho said and entered.

"Where's mom?" He asked.

"Kitchen" Franco replied and walked to the kitchen immediately.

"Jericho!" Mrs Jenkins called happily.

"Good evening mom" Jericho smiled.

"You two should take your seats,I will serve you right away. I made your favorite" Mrs Jenkins said.

"You're totally the best" Jericho said and Franco scoffed behind him.

"Don't be jealous son"

"I can't be jealous of this brat mom" Franco said.

Jericho sat down and Franco also did.

"Don't tell me you fought with your parents again" He said.

"No" Jericho muttered,hanging up a call before it even started ringing.

Mrs Jenkins served the delicious looking food on the table.

"Whoa" Jericho smiled,picking you a fork.

He took one of the gimbap and shoved it into his mouth.

"Hmm" he moaned and nods his head.

Another call came on his phone and he groaned before hanging up.

"Where the hell are they getting my number?" He scoffed.

"What do they want ?" Franco asked.

"My d*ick" Jericho stated without thinking twice.

"Dude!" Franco laughed.

Jericho rolled his eyes and continue eating.

"You should give them what they want" Franco said.

"Am I supposed to be picking randomly?" Jericho asked and Franco laughed.

*

9PM, IN THE CITY*

"Wow!! That's so pretty!!" Marigold screamed excitedly in the car,Xavier was driving while Marigold was busy taking pictures of anything she sees with her camera.

She love taking pictures and she's very good in drawing also.

"Are you planning to become a photographer or what? Why a camera?" Xavier asked.

"You can't understand the joy brother" She smiled and took a picture of a tree.

"I mean,when I checked earlier,I couldn't find a single picture of human there" Xavier said.

"I don't take human pictures" She replied.

"I see" Xavier chuckled.

Marigold saw a cheesecake shop and immediately stopped Xavier.

"I want some cheesecake" She pouted.

"Let's go get it then" Xavier said and parked the car.

"No,I will stay here and take more pictures... "

"It's late for fuck sake,continue tomorrow" Xavier groaned.

"Just these last ones"

Xavier scoffed and they both got down from the car,she lean on the car while Xavier went into the shop.

Marigold continue taking her photos randomly,she walked away from the car and was about taking the picture of a flower tree in front of her when a strange guy appeared on her camera screen and she dropped her camera.

The boy smiled at her and waved.

"Do you take pictures like this every time?" He asked.

"I didn't take your picture" Marigold cleared.

"I know.....I'm Richard" He smiled,offering her his hand for a shake.

'He smiles a lot' Marigold said inwardly.

She was about taking his hand when a bike appeared,coming directly toward her with full speed,Her eyes widened.

"Hey!" Richard immediately grabbed her hand the moment the bike was about knocking her down. He fell and Marigold fell on top of him.

"Fuck" Richard spat and they both turned to see the biker stopped,he raised the helmet face shield and looked at them.

"Jericho Brown" Richard mumbled,folding his fist.

Marigold said nothing,she only focused on the biker.

Jericho released a remorseless smirk and covered his face again before riding off in full speed.

TBC.

★

"Are you okay?" Richard asked while helping Marigold up.

"I think I am" She smiled and picked up her Camera,luckily the camera fell on the flower close to where they fell.

Xavier came that very moment.

"What happened here?" He asked.

"Oh..it was....a little accident" Marigold replied.

Xavier looked at Richard.

"Are you her brother? Do you know me?" Richard asked.

"Yeah" Xavier mumbled and Richard smiled.

"What happened? Why were you two on the ground?" Xavier asked.

"Jericho's bike" Richard replied.

"Jericho?" Xavier called the name like it's something offensive and Marigold wondered why.

"You mean he hit my sister with his bike...."

"Almost,it was a a mistake,trust me" Marigold immediately tapped his chest and Xavier looked at her.

"I told you to follow me in and stop the damn pictures you were taking" He snapped.

"I'm sorry" Marigold mumbled in a sad voice.

"Get in the car" Xavier said.

Marigold waved at Richard.

"Thank you...bye" She said.

"Bye" Richard smiled and waved back,she entered the car and Xavier drove off.

"You're not mad at me right?" Marigold asked after few seconds of silence.

"Eat your cheesecake,I'm not mad" Xavier replied and she smiled.

She took the cake and inhaled the scent.

"Smells so nice"

"So you're still addicted to cheesecakes?" Xavier asked.

"Is there any other thing I can be addicted to?" Marigold asked with a mouthful of the cake.

"Stop being a baby" Xavier chuckled and wiped her bottom lip with his thumb.

"Who's Jericho Brown? Sounds like you both know him" She asked.

"Don't ask aboht him" Xavier replied.

"Why?"

"He's not someone you should associate with,when you see him you run,okay?" Xavier said.

"Is he that bad?" Marigold asked curiously.

"Bad is an understatement,He's dangerous. So stay away from him" Xavier said but that only made Marigold more curious.

She didn't say anything more though,she focused on her cake.

As soon as they got back home,Marigold greeted her mom and went into her room.

"Milky" She called and immediately carried her.

"I know you missed me" She said,kissing her.

"Some cake for you" She sat on the bed and dropped the remaining cake for Milky which she ate up instantly.

"Good girl" Marigold smiled,Milky left her arm and sat in the middle of the bed.

"I'm not sleeping right now" Marigold said and began taking off her clothes,she changed and sat on the bed,Milky stick next to her.

"I guess you really miss me a lot" Marigold smiled as Milky kept on climbing and jumping all over her, she cupped her little face.

"A kiss"

Milky rubbed her head on her lips instead and Marigold laughed.

"You're so rude"

She picked up her phone and started searching about the school. Oak Valley University.

"I'm so curious and also nervous Milky,I wonder what the school is like" She sighed out and dropped her phone. She took her diary and started writing about her experience so far in Paris.

✍🏻Nevertheless,I miss Korea,and I miss granny.

She concluded before falling back on the bed to sleep.

"Milky come here" She called and the kitten jumped on the bed,right beside her.

"Goodnight milky" She smiled.

*

NEXT MORNING*

Marigold hurried out of her room and went downstairs,Xavier was already going out.

"Don't tell me you're leaving me behind!" She shouted and ran after him.

"You need breakfast at least" Mrs Scott called back.

"Don't worry about me mom,I will sort out myself" Marigold said and ran after Xavier.

"I have a morning class" Xavier said,opening the car for her.

"Wow,didn't expect you to be so serious,brother. I'm touched" She touched her chest and Xavier laughed.

"I'm so nervous...can't wait to see the school" Marigold groaned.

"It's the best school In paris so don't worry" Xavier said.

"I know,I'm just....gosh" Marigold said.

"Do I look good enough?" She asked,checking her outfit.

"You look pretty,really pretty" Xavier replied and she blushed.

"You're so sweet" She hit him playfully.

After about one hour drive,Xavier was in front of the school.

"Whoa" Marigold gasps,the environment and the first sight made her speechless. The name of the school written boldly on it.

OAK VALLEY UNIVERSITY

"This is amazing"She clapped as Xavier drove In through the tied drive way.

"Wow!!" She said more loudly.

"It's just like I read" Marigold mumbled,still looking around.

"You haven't even got down yet" Xavier chuckled and finally pulled over in the parking lots. They both stepped down from the car,Marigold arranged her hair which was dealt with by the Breeze before carrying her bag.

She was dressed in a mini gown,she wore an ankle boot matching her dress. She looked so beautiful and classy,yet cute like a doll.

"I would have loved to wait for you to do everything but sorry I can't,you can just ask some students where the HOD's office is right?.. "

"Don't worry about me brother,,I love you,go on" Marigold waved.

"Call me if you have any problem" Xavier said.

"I love you" Marigold repeated.

"I love you more" Xavier kissed her head and walked away.

"Finally" Marigold breathe in the air before she started her walk,while admiring the beautiful buildings and surroundings.

*

Somewhere in school,Catalina was holding her phone with the holder,she was live on Instagram.

"Hi Catalians" She smiled prettily.

The live started just ten minutes ago and about One million followers are watching already.

"It's your girl again,recording life at Oak Valley,best university you will ever find" She said and laughed.

She's the school queen,English student,year three. She's the most popular and prettiest,she's an Instagram influencer and also a model,she's got twenty million followers on Instagram,she even got more popular when it was discovered that her mom is an actress,a popular one at that.

"Oh what I'm wearing" Catalina smiled and looked around,she saw a junior student and immediately called her.

"Can you hold this for me?" She asked.

"Of course" The girl smiled,it's obvious she's a fan.

"Thanks" Catalina gave her and moved back,showing her full outfit.

* She's so hot!

* Oh I love the shorts

Some students screamed as they saw her.

"Morning" She smiled brightly.

On another side is Melissa,also doing her own live video,she's the second most popular student in school,also an influencer,she's got followers too but not as much as Catalina,she have ten million followers.

She was just talking with her fans when she saw a lost Marigold.

"Guys,I think she's a freshman,she seems lost" Melissa chuckled and walked over to Marigold.

"Oh,are you new here?" Melissa asked.

"Yeah...probably" Marigold replied.

"Your name?"

"Marigold..Hi" Marigold waved to the camera and walked away.

"Wow...isn't she so cute?" Melissa chuckled and continued.

*

MINUTES LATER*

Marigold sighed out loudly,she just finished submitting all the necessary documents and now walking to her first class of the day,even though she was thirty minutes late already.

She was given a map to direct her path in the school. The English faculty building seems to be complicated.

"Okay...hallway" She mumbled and immediately climbed the stairs to the hallway. She was already walking along the hallway when she suddenly heard loud screams downstairs which made her turn instantly.

👥 Jericho!!!!

👥 It's Jericho!!!

"Jericho?" She mumbled and rushed to the to the stair rail to take a look,she saw Jericho coming on his bike making the loud sound.

"It's him" Marigold uttered,staring as Jericho removed his helmet and the students went crazy. He used his fingers to arranged her hair and started walking,not caring about the students calling and screaming his name,some even ran after him.

She watched him climbed the stairs leading to where she was,she kept on standing there until she saw him approaching her.

Marigold stood firmly,admiring the perfection of the perfect coming. He's tall,hot,sexy,his walking steps are to die for. His face is perfect,too perfect,the mole on his nose side added to it,the way his hair were bouncing like they were following the beats of songs.

Jericho walked past her without sparing her a glance,she had to shake her head once to come back to reality.

"What is he? I thought only Koreans are perfect,is he one?" She turned again to continue staring at him but he was already gone.

"I have class,f**k!" She picked a race immediately.

*

12PM*

Mari walked out of the LH tiredly,she yawned hungrily until a girl suddenly tapped her.

"Hi" The girl smiled.

"Hello" Marigold also smiled.

"We took the last class together,I'm Sawyer" She said.

"Hi Sawyer,I'm Marigold"

"Mind being friends?"

"No I don't" Marigold said.

"Then,let's go eat together,we can talk while eating,I'm starving" Sawyer said.

Marigold smiled and they both walked to the Campus Canteen.

"Everywhere in this school is just perfect" Marigold said,admiring the canteen.

"I'm telling you,I love it" Sawyer said.

"Sawyer! You bitch!" Two girls ran over to them.

"Oh,Marigold meet my two besties. Alice and Yuna,they are in their second year,I know you're thinking in your head how come we are friends" Sawyer smiled.

"No no it's cute" Marigold immediately said.

"Who's this soft bread?" Yuna asked,touching Marigold's hair.

"Course mate" Sawyer replied.

"Awwn,Nice to meet you"

They all got their food trays and went to sit.

"I'm sure you're going to enjoy this school,there are lots of fun,trust me" Alice said.

"I really can't wait" Marigold smiled.

"There are lots of gists from us,we are going to tell you every details you wanna know" Yuna said.

"Thank you"

"Marigold?" They all heard the voice and looked up to see Richard.

Alice and Yuna gasped.

"Richard" Marigold called excitedly and stood up.

"Wow,I wasn't expecting to see you here so soon" Richard said and stroke her hair which made her laugh.

"I will see you around,enjoy your food" Richard said.

Marigold smiled,watching as the girls were screaming out his name as he walked.

"Did you...just spoke with Richard?!!" Yuna screamed.

"What do you mean?" Marigold asked.

"That's one of the school kings! Are you joking?! Did you see all those girls screaming? Gosh I'm sweating,help" Alice sighed,Marigold still looking confused.

"Don't worry,we are going to tell you deeply,for now let's enjoy this food" Yuna said.

They suddenly heard more screams and they looked up again. It was Jericho and Franco that entered,the girls going crazy for Jericho.

* Jericho!!

* I won't mind you f**king me for free!

* He's so hot damn

"What the f**k" Marigold mumbmed.

"You've not heard anything girl" Sawyer laughed.

Melissa came to Jericho and kissed him.

"Oh...he's got a girlfriend" Marigold mumbled,recognizing her at once.

"Girlfriend? Jericho?" Alice and Yuna laughed.

Almost immediately,Catalina walked in angrily and dragged Melissa back with her hair.

"Are you crazy?!" Melissa scresmed.

"Stay away from him bitch,your pussy stinks!!" Catalina yelled.

The students started murmuring.

Marigold watched as Jericho went to sir with Franco not minding the two girls killing each other coz of him.

'What type of guy is he?' She thought.

*

2PM*

Marigold was walking around,exploring the school on her own,she was holding her camera this time around,taking pictures of random stuffs.

She suddenly sighted Jericho behind a pole,smoking.

"He smokes too" Marigold mumbled.

But even while smoking,he was smoking hot and sexy,she didn't even know when she raised her camera and started taking pictures of him.

Jericho finished smoking and walked away,he didn't see her.

Marigold's eyes followed him till she couldn't see him again.

'Run when you see him' she remembered Xavier's words.

"Will I be able to do that?" She asked herself as she started looking at the pictures she took.

*

COMPUTER ENG. LH*

The lecturer was already in class when Jericho came in,but he wasn't lecturing yet,Xavier was standing next to the lecturer showing him some stuffs,He's the course rep.

Jericho on the other hand only attend classes once in a blue moon,but still he's the top student in the department,followed by Xavier.

A rare fact is that: If you're looking for the best enemies in Oak Valley,you won't have to think twice before picking Xavier and Jericho.

Everyone in school know about their unknown beef,they hate each other with passion.

The girls started shifting for Jericho who walked in with the usual cold look on his face,his two hands stuck in his pocket. He ignored the girls and saw a seat,a bag was on it but the person wasn't there.

Jericho took the bag and threw it away,he sat down and crossed his legs.

Xavier finished with the lecturer and walked to where he was sitting only to find Jericho there and his bag gone.

"Hey" He called.

Jericho ignored him.

"Xavier your bag over here" A girl called,picking up the bag from the floor.

Xavier grabbed Jericho's collar

"Did you loose another pound of your sense overnight?" He asked angrily.

Jericho chuckled,seeing Xavier's angry face was like the sweetest thing in the world that moment.

"Xavier,sit down" The lecturer said.

Jericho kept on smiling while staring at Xavier's angry face.

"Crazy psychopath" Xavier released his collar and went to sit with Kelly,his only friend.

Jericho adjusted his shirt.

The lecturer started and seems like everyone was focused and busy jotting down points. Only Jericho was without anything,does he even have??

Twenty minutes into the lecture,Jericho checked the time and stood up.

"Where are you going?" The lecturer asked.

Jericho ignored him completely and walked out of the hall.

"Bastard" Xavier spat.

"Your favorite seat" Kelly chuckled.

"Can't sit there again,his madness might be contagious" Xavier said.

Kelly laughed.

*

4PM*

"Bye Mari,I will add you to our group chat,so let's talk tonight" Sawyer said,waving at her.

"I would love that,thank you" She smiled.

The girls left her alone,she already spoke with Xavier and he said she should wait for some minutes.

"He's such a serious student" Marigold chuckled.

"Marigold" She heard Richard's voice and turned immediately.

"Hi Richie" She smiled.

"That made my heart skip" Richard touched his chest and Marigold laughed.

"Are you waiting for your brother?" Richard asked.

"Yeah,what about you? You're going home?"

"Yeah,should I keep your company?" Richard asked.

"I don't mind,it's going to be boring all alone" She pouted and they started walking together,until Richard's phone rang.

"Oh...I'm sorry Mari,I need to go" He said.

"No problem" She smiled.

"Bye baby face" Richard stroked her hair before running off.

Marigold bite her lips and tapped her hair.

"Focus" She immediately said and walked to one of the school libraries.

She sat down.

"I'm so bored,what should I do?"

She brought out her drawing book and her pencils.

"What should I draw?"

The first thing her mind went to was Jericho.

It's the first time she want to draw a human,she never tried it.

She took her pencil and started from the tip,thinking about his visuals and then drawing.

She was done within ten minutes and it came out so perfectly.

She quickly put the mole on his nose.

"Not complete without it" She smiled,staring at her work.

She suddenly heard someone yawn which made her heart skip a beat,she turned and Jericho sat up from the bench next to her.

Marigold's eyes widened,how come he was there and she didn't notice?

Jericho's eyes fell on the drawing and she immediately closed it,He looked deeply at her face which made her swallow,how can someone be so hot?

Marigold's heart beat was abnormal that very moment as she stared at him,the way his hair covered one part of his eyes,the earrings,his cologne. He's just.....damn

"Is that me?" Jericho asked with a mischievous smile playing on his pink lips.

TBC.

★

"Is that me?" Jericho asked with a mischievous smile playing on his pink lips.

"I....That was....." Marigold stuttered,not knowing what to say,not when he was staring deeply into her eyes.

The only thing which saved her was her ringing phone,she checked,immediately he saw that it was Xavier,she stood up without thinking twice,she packed her stuffs in a hurry and ran out of the library.

Then she answered the call.

"Yes brother? Where are you?"

"Car" Xavier replied and hung up.

Marigold walked to the parking lot and met Xavier waiting beside the car.

"Did I keep you waiting for too long?" Xavier asked and she pouted.

"Buy me something delicious" She mumbled.

"Deal,get in" Xavier smiled and she immediately entered the car,her mind went to Jericho again and she sighed.

Back in the library,Jericho was still in there,sitting down like nothing happened. Catalina walked in and went straight to him.

"Knew you would be here" She smiled.

Jericho also let out his never sincere smile,staring as Catalina began to undress in front of him,his expression didn't change from the way it was,like he wasn't impressed but still his eyes on her.

"I missed you" Catalina said and sat down on his laps. She kissed him hungrily,like he was some sort of sweet that she wanted to consume at a go. Jericho got up and carried her,he placed her on the nearest table,Catalina didn't break the kiss,his fingers didn't waste time before sliding three inside her at once.

"F**k right there" Catalina moaned as she broke the kiss.

"Oh gosh Jeri!" She screamed,splitting all her juice on her fingers after some minutes.

Jericho stared at her face and slide his fingers into her mouth,she sucked on them,licking up all the cream.

"F**k me,please,I'm crazily horny for you right now" She said.

Jericho ignored her request and walked out of the library.

'Hey! Jeri! Jericho!" Catalina ran after him,forgetting that she was naked,she already got out before she remembered.

"That sexy jerk" She bite her lips and went back in to get dressed.

Marigold finished writing in her diary and closed it up. She brought out the drawing of Jericho and stared at it for a while,she shook her head and rolled it and put it somewhere.

"Hey Milky,come over here" She called and the kitten came jumping to her.

"Good girl" she smiled,lifting her off the floor before going out of the room.

She got downstairs and met her mom in the living room,Kate was in the kitchen.

"Hey mom"

"How was your first day?" Mrs Scott asked.

"Eomcheongnan" Marigold nodded.

"And what's that supposed to mean in the language I know?" Mrs Scott asked and Marigold laughed.

"It was great mom" She said and dropped Milky.

"Where's brother?"

"He went out"

Marigold got busy with her phone,she checked to see that she was already added to the group chat and her smile widened.

SAWYER: How about we go to Marigold's house?

YUNA: Really? Soft bread,should we come? 😏

MARI: Stop calling me soft bread😩

ALICE: 🤣🤣

"Mom,my new friends want to come over,can they?" Marigold asked her mom.

"Of course,why not" Mrs Scott replied.

"Thanks mom"

MARI: You girls can come over,I'm gonna text the address.

SAWYER: Oh finally,I was dying of boredom

ALICE: Get a fuckmate at least if you can't date,stop being boring.

YUNA: How did you know?

SAWYER: you said someone should tell you it was a prank.

Marigold laughed.

BROWN'S MANSION*

Mrs Brown(Ember) entered Jericho's room and Jericho turned with the roller seat he was sitting on,his back resting flatly as he stared at her blankly.

"You should know better,coming into another person's room without their permission is crazy,Mrs Brown" Jericho said calmly.

"You think this is your room?" Ember chuckled and moved closer to him.

"For me,I think you're a step out of this house,your father is getting to the last drop already" She said.

Jericho smiled.

"Do you know why I always love it when your husband isn't around?" He asked.

"Because you always show your real self,like hell I hate it when you try to act like you're a good step mom,this Is who you are Ember" He chuckled.

Ember glared at him with hatred.

"Don't stop this crazy act of yours,never. As long as it benefits my son and I,keep acting crazy and useless so your father keep hating you,don't ever try to change,I love it this way" She said.

Jericho chuckled.

"Change? I think that's the only matter we both agree on since I got to this house,I'm not going to change,don't worry about that" He said.

"And you might want to get out of our sight completely,seeing you everyday make it hard and disgusting for me,I'm sure you can do that also,right?" She smiled.

Jericho chuckled.

"Don't ever try to be a perfect son,never" She said.

"You should just disappear like your dead mother,what do you think?" She smirked and walked out of the room.

Jericho rolled his eyes and light up his weed and began smoking. After doing that to his satisfaction,he got dressed and left the house.

JENKINS MANSION*

Franco sipped from the glass of wine while scrolling through Nadia's Instagram page. She's a student in Oak Valley but she's a final year student and is hardly seen,you will never find her getting involved In any school drama.

The only reason she's popular in the school is because of her brilliancy,she's in the mass communication department.

"She hardly post" Franco groaned,scrolling through the same old pictures and videos.

He sighed and almost sent her a message,he typed it and then wiped it off again.

"I'm going to die if she snub me" he shook his head and dropped his phone.

📺 THE CHAIRMAN OF BK GROUP WOULD BE PARTICIPATING IN THE COMING PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

He heard the TV from the living room and his eyes widened.

"What? Mr Brown?" He jumped down from where he wss sitting and walked to the living room,his mom was there.

"You heard that right?" Mrs Jenkins said.

"This is amazing,finally someone we know" She smiled

"Not good" Franco mumbled and immediately dialed Jericho's number,it rang many times but he didn't answer nor return the call.

"He never answer calls" He scoffed.

*

A CLUBHOUSE*

Hot pop music going on in the background,half naked girls dancing,strippers all over the place luring men with their hotness.

Jericho was somewhere in there,two sexy girls rocking him as he smokes wildly,another one all over his face like she was gonna swallow him.

"You're so f**king hot" She moaned, touching herself in front of him.

Jericho smiled,she removed the weed from his lips and smoked out of it then blew it on his face.

"I love wild girls" He uttered.

"Then,shall we get a room? I want to fuck your dick" The girl said.

Jericho smiled and ignored what she said, Franco's call kept on coming but Jericho ignored it.

From where he was sittings,he saw a girl dancing in front of her boyfriend,he stood up.

"Where are you going?" The girls asked but he didn't answer,he walked over to them and gently spanked the girl's ass,she stopped dancing and faced him,she gasped out loudly.

Her boyfriend frowned.

"Hey dude,are you crazy?" He asked.

Jericho only faced the girl.

"Wanna come with me?" He asked.

"Where?" The girl asked.

"Just.... what you're thinking" Jericho replied.

"Hey!" The boyfriend shouted.

"Shut up, you're just one of my many flings anyway" He girl snapped at him and focused back on Jericho.

"What do you mean by one of your filings?" He asked but she snubbed him.

"Let's go" She said to Jericho and he smiled.

Like that she followed him out of the clubhouse.

"Where are we going?" She asked with a smile.

"A nice hotel" Jericho replied.

"You're so hot" The girl said and kissed him.

Jericho entered into the car and she also did, then be zoomed off.

Marigold was sitting on her bed watching and listening as the girls tell her about Oak Valley.

"Hottest boys in our school,and in number one is highly taken by..."

"Jericho!!" Sawyer and Alice screamed.

"They were crazy about him" Marigold mumbled.

"Tell me you're not" Sawyer grinned.

"Do you need handkerchief?" Yuna scoffed.

"And number four is Franco, he's Jericho's only friend" Yuna smiled.

"Her crush" Alice completed.

"Oh,I see why she's Smiling" Marigold chuckled.

"And then,you should know Xavier and Jericho are sworn enemies " Sawyer said.

"But,why?" Marigold asked curiously.

"Nobody knows, you've not experienced it,but I'm sure you are going to see them arguing soon,they don't like each other and they are in the same department" Yuna said.

"Wow, Jericho studies Computer Engineering?" Marigold asked.

"Not just that, he's the top student, weird right? But he's really Bright " Sawyer said.

"Wow " Marigold muttered.

"What about Richard? And Franco?" She asked

"Richard studies Business,I heard his parents are Rich and it's possible he's taking over the family business as expected, Franco is in the Data Science department " Alice told her.

"And Jericho's parents?" Marigold asked.

"Nobody knows,but with the look of things,He's a rich kid too" Yuna said.

"So, Jericho doesn't have a girlfriend?"

"If Jericho date,then I'm sure the world is coming to an end. He's a fucker, don't fall for him. You can crush but don't fall deep, you're gonna get hurt, he's a bad boy,be warned! Soft bread" Yuna said.

"Take that little advice, don't get closer,your heart is gonna break. And besides there are lot of girls on the line, you're too pretty to be crushing on him" Sawyer winkrd.

"Mari?" The door opened and Xavier entered.

The girls all gasped loudly.

"Hey brother " Marigold waved.

"Oh....have fun" Xavier said and walked back.

"Xavier is your brothers?!!" They all screamed.

Marigold chuckled.

"Why are you so lucky!!" Yuna cried.

"Give me your brother's number,that face is a waste without someone like me as a girlfriend" Alice said.

"Shut up,I asked first" Yuna snapped and Marigold laughed.

"Go ask him yourself, he's going to scold me" She said.

"Girl you're boring" They scoffed.

"Morning Dad" Felix greeted as Mr Brown joined her and Ember on the dinning table.

"Morning honey" Ember smiled.

"Morning"

The maids finished serving and Left,the family started eating.

"I'm sure you have alot to do today dad,the internet has been hot since last night's news,I have a really good feeling about this" Felix smiled.

"Of course, most people seems to Love you,the only problem we have is Jericho,you should really stay out of his trouble these days,I think you should stop bailing him out,you have your reputation to protect" Ember said with a smile.

"I know,I won't allow that either" Mr Brown said.

"But what if it happens? You know how stubborn that kid is, prevention is better than cure" Ember said.

"If he misbehave again,then I won't have a choice than to send him out of the country " Mr Brown said and Ember smiled.

Mr Brown stood up and immediately his PA took his briefcase.

"Remember you have a meeting today Felix "

"Of course dad" Felix smiled, watching as Mr Brown walked out.

He faced his mom.

"You don't have to talk about Jericho to dad..."

"You don't know anything son,so stop talking,I can never allow that child get close to my husband,even you" Ember said.

Felix sighed.

Mr Brown got outside and the guards opened the door for him.

"Jericho didn't come home last night? Where's he?" He asked.

"Some guards were packing out some of his stuffs from his room this morning Sir "

"He moved out? All of a sudden?" Mr Brown asked.

"Yes sir"

"Did that boy cause ay trouble again?" He immediately dialed his number and Jericho answered.

"Yeah...Mr Brown?" He could hear Jericho's chuckle from the other side.

"Heard you moved out" Mr Brown said.

"You sound happy,and yes I moved. But don't worry,I didn't steal your money,so don't be worried" Jericho said.

OAK VALLEY UNIVERSITY*

Can't believe he's not in school and he's not picking up my call,wow" Franco scoffed as he walked.

Marigold was walking with Sawyer to their first class when suddenly they saw Melissa slapping a girl who mistakenly stepped on her shoe.

They made the girls kneel down in front of her and wipe the dirt even after slapping her.

"I thought.... she's nice" Marigold said.

"Don't be fooled, Melissa and Catalina only act nice for the camera, their fans. But outside that,they are the craziest bitches in the school,stay away from their trouble" Sawyer said.

Marigold was about speaking up when they suddenly heard a loud sound,some students gasped.

They immediately ran to see what was going on.

Jericho just finished speaking with his dad on phone,he was actually still on the bike and staying in the driveway, Richard who was just driving in with his car hit Jericho from the bike and he fell off from the bike.

The students gasped and started rushing closer.

👥 Hope he didn't get hurt

👥 Oh no my Jericho.

Jericho got up and removed his helmet,he was fine.

Richard came out of the car and their eyes met.

"Are you going to move out of my way or not?" He asked.

Jericho scoffed.

"Apologize for your crazy act" He said.

"Apologize? Why should I do that?" Richard asked.

"You hit me with your fucking damn car!" Jericho snapped.

"I don't want to apologize " Richard said calmly.

"What?"

"Coz if it was you,you won't apologize either " Richard said.

Jericho chuckled and pulled his hair backward,the next thing he did was throwing his helmet on the car windshield glass.

The students gasps out loudly as the glasses broke into pieces.

Jericho moved closer to Richard who was standing still without moving.

"That sounds good... don't you think?" He asked with a smile and picked up his helmet again,he looked at Richard blankly and broke another window glass from the car.

Some of the broken glasses, entered Richard's arm and he started bleeding.

"Richie!" Marigold ran there.

She faced Jericho.

"You're acting wicked, please stop" She said.

"Acting wicked? That offensive" Jericho muttered.

"I'm not acting wicked,I'm wicked and insane,you haven't heard my news? I thought it spreads so fast,I'm disappointed" Jericho said.

"I didn't hear anything" Marigold said,her eyes fell on Jericho's arm,he also got some cuts.

"Your arm" She touched him.

"Stay back!" Jericho throw her hand off and she lost balance and almost fell on the broken glasses on the floor,Richard caught her and fell on the glasses instead.

The students gasped again.

👥 That's gonna hurt

👥 Someone do something please

Jericho looked at them and tried not to laugh.

"This scene....looks familiar, don't you think? You two look good together" He smirked and dropped the helmet on the floor before getting on his bike and rode off.

"Ahh" Marigold moaned.

"Are you okay?" Richard immediately asked, forgetting his own injury.

Marigold got some glasses on her leg,she shook her head slowly before passing out.

"Hey! Marigold!" Richard called.

TBC.
