Chapter 2.

AT THE CAFETERIA, Artheena had just finished her lunch when she decided to finally go and take a tour around her new school. As she's walking downstairs, she tried looking for her phone and didn't notice Jeno. The guy didn't notice her too as the stairs were spiral.

When Artheena took a turn, she bumped at Jeno who's carrying his tray with his lunch. The metal clacking and utensils falling off down the stairs echoed through the other side of the cafeteria.

Gasps were everywhere. Artheena looked at the food that was now scattered on the stairs and Jeno's hoodie. She was about to say something when Jeno grab a hold of her leather jacket, pulled her closer, and glared at her with jaw clenched tightly.

"Oh no! Now Jeno's mad!"

"Ugh! She should've said sorry immediately!"

"Tsk! Tsk! I feel sorry for her!"

"She deserves it duh! She bumped at our king on purpose! What an attention seeker!"

"She must be the new student from their class. She's wearing the badge of Class A!"

"Let's see how she's going to escape from our king."

Those were a few gasps, whispers, and feedbacks of the crowd that Artheena heard. She deadass looked at Jeno in the eyes and eyed him from head to toe. He's breathing hard and was clenching her leather jacket tight.

'He's mad alright'  She said in her thought.

"Yo man, take it easy," Mark inserted and gripped both of Jeno's wrists.

Artheena was leaning back and if not for Jeno who was holding her tightly she would've been laying on the stairs now. "Jeno it's ok bro, that was just an accident," Haechan said behind them.

"Let go," Artheena finally said.

"Why would I?" Jeno asked sarcastically.

Artheena smirked. "It was an accident, they say. It's ok, they say. Take it easy, they say." Mark was surprised how calm Artheena was not until "You punk." she added.

Haechan who was at the back peeks a little with wide eyes. "Mworago?" Jeno asked gritting his teeth.

"Aish! Stop it!" Mark exclaimed and used his strength to pull Jeno away from Artheena.

The tension was starting to rise when Artheena fixed her leather jacket and eyed Jeno from head to toe again. She had that blood-boiling smirk plastered all over her face. She blew her hair that was on her face and walk down the stairs.

Jeno's patience snapped and in an instant Artheena was already on the ground. He kicked her. Good thing they were near the end of the stairs, hence a serious injury would happen if they were at the top.

"Lee Jeno!" Mark shouted but his friend didn't even bother to pay attention to him and walked closer towards Artheena.

"Stand up," he ordered while glaring at her.

The crowd was in uproar and started to cheer for their bias. Artheena rolled her tongue on her teeth. Her patience was wearing thin and she's trying hard to hold it in. She doesn't want to leave a bad record on her first day of class.

But some things are better off paying attention. She needed someone to release the anger she's been holding since yesterday anyways. 'This bastard's face will do' she said in her thoughts.

She stood up and let her bag slid off of her shoulder. She licked the side of her cheek and combed her hair using her fingers before turning around, fist formed into a ball and straight-up aimed for Jeno's face.

The impact was so strong that Jeno even fell backward. Man didn't think any second and stood up immediately grabbing her collar and so does she.

"Yo! Yo! Man stop!" Haechan shouted and went to part them but the two didn't even budge.

Both were staring intently at each other. Anger was visible in their eyes. The sarcastic smirk Artheena was wearing earlier was long gone and was replaced by a deadly aura.

"Yah Jeno Lee! She's a girl! Stop it already!" Mark exclaimed.

Jeno gritted his teeth and tightened his grip on her collar. "I would've killed you right here and now..." he whispered in anger.

"I'd like to see you try," she whispered back.

"Pull them away from each other!" Jaemin said while grabbing Jeno's wrist and overpowered his friend's strength causing Jeno to let go.

Jisung held Artheena's shoulder and gently pulled her away from Jeno, blocking her from him. Meanwhile, Jaemin and Mark held the lass from both arms.

Both were still glaring at each other. Jisung cleared his throat. "I'm sorry about him. He has anger issues and just basically fights to whomever he wants," he apologized on behalf of his friend.

Artheena fixed her collar and grabbed her bag in the most harshes manner possible before storming out of the cafeteria.

Almost all students followed Artheena with their eyes when she walked out. Jeno's friends sighed and facepalmed to what just happened.

It's not new for them to see Jeno picking a fight with girls, but this one was new to them. They never saw him grabbing a girl's collar and treat her as if she's a man. Well, Artheena might be a girl but the vibe she gives off is of a man.

Still, it was unreasonable for him to just grab her on the collar. "Are you an idiot?! That was just an accident!" Renjun yelled. "Both of you didn't see each other coming! Why'd you grabbed her like that huh?! Are you out of your mind?!" he continued, not minding the students and the cafeteria staff looking at them.

Jeno just looked away clenching his jaw.

"Get your act together man! Not every time we can understand that anger issues of yours!" Renjun rolled his eyes before walking away. Jisung followed, so did Haechan.

"Renjun's right man-" Mark was cut off.

"Let go!" Jeno said and aggressively pulled his arms from Mark and Jaemin before walking away too.

Jaemin and Mark looked at each other in disappointment before following the others.
