Chapter 10 - Brian

"Are you hungry? Do you want to eat?" Ace asked Gwen

"Hmm, I'm fine." Gwen replied to him

"Oh. Are you sure? It's my treat." Ace said to her

"Hmmm, alright. But I'll choose the location." Gwen said to him and smiled at him

"Okay" Ace said and also smiled

They both got up and cleaned the mess at the table. Ace hid the book in his bag since he needs it. Gwen hid her stuff in her backpack also. They both walked towards the exit but before that Ace went to the librarian to tell her that he was going to take home the book. The librarian said it was fine and got him to fill up some information sheet.

After Ace filled up the information sheet he needed to fill so that he can borrow the book they went outside. Both of them were now outside when suddenly a car stop by in front of them. The person inside the car opened the window and called out Gwen's name.

"Gweneth. Where are you going? Let me take you home." The person said

"I'm going to eat somewhere, Brian. You should go home instead." Gwen said to Brian

"Are you going to eat with that guy? Have you forgotten the promise you made? Are you really going to cheat on me?" Brian said to her

"Cheat? Shut up, Brian. I know that you have been cheating on me for quite sometime now. Stop acting like a loyal guy." Gwen replied to him

Brian got out of the car when he heard Gwen talked back at him.

"Are you really sure you can take the consequence for this?" Brian said to her "Come home now." When he was about to hold Gwen's hand, Ace suddenly intercepted. So instead of Brian holding Gwen's arms it was now Ace holding Brian's arms.

"Woah woah there, my guy. I think you should go home." Ace said to him

"Who are you? Do you know what you are doing right now? Release my hand." Brian said and then he takes off Ace hands

"Are you some kind of rich kid?" Ace asked him "Gwen is uncomfortable with what you are doing to her. You should leave." Ace said then smiled at him

Ace held Gwen's hands and walked away with her. Brian only looked at them walking away and he got into his car.

"Dig up information about that person." Brian told his driver

"I will, boss." The driver replied

"You think you can escape me Gwen. You are mine." Brian said while looking out the window

Gwen and Ace was still holding hands when suddenly Gwen let go of him. Ace looked back at her

"Why? Are you alright?" Ace asked her

"Why did you do that? Did you know what you just did?" Gwen said to him

"Are you mad at me?" Ace asked Gwen "I'm just trying to help." Ace added

"I don't need your help." Gwen said to him "I'm not hungry anymore." Gwen told him

Before Ace can say anything to her, Gwen walked away. Gwen didn't look back at him not even a glance. While Ace was just standing there, he couldn't believe what happened.

Ace was mad at himself because of what he did. He knew what he did was wrong but he couldn't control himself because Brian was disrespecting Gwen but that made him think to himself was Brian really disrespectful to Gwen? Who was Brian? He said that she was cheating on him by going with me. So, Is Brian his boyfriend?

Now it hit him. What he did was really dumb. He couldn't even apologize to her. He looked around and he couldn't see Gwen. She disappeared. Ace decided that it was time to go home. He lost his appetite because of what happened.

He walked home alone that day but when he got home he saw that there were many shoes inside his house. The shoes looked familiar to him and then he heard a noise inside the kitchen.

"One more serving for me, please!" Lance said

It was Lance voice. He walked towards the kitchen to see what was going on and saw that Kayze, Kyle, Lance, and Aiah was in his house. Her little sister Stacey was cooking food for them and was even serving them some food. Ace walked behind Lance and hit him in his head.

"Why are you telling my sister to give you some food, huh? Get your own." Ace said to him

"And you guys? Why are you here?" Ace asked them

"You said that we were going to eat here ah? So here we are." Kayze said to Ace

Aiah got up from her seat and bowed at Ace

"Sorry for barging in." Aiah said to Ace

"Uh, it's fine but how did you get inside in the first place?" Ace asked them

"Oh we just knocked on your door because we thought that you were in your house. We asked Mr. Zay where you were since you didn't attend the class and he said that you were doing something." Kayze replied to Ace

"And then we all agreed that we were going to your house after class since we thought that you were finish and head home first but when we knocked the person that opened the door for us was Stacey." Kayze added

"Why did you open the door? You should have shot them, Stacey." Ace said to Stacey sarcastically

Stacey walked towards Ace and hit him with a spatula.

"Why didn't you tell me that you were going to invite your friends over? I didn't buy enough groceries today. Where even were you? You got home pretty late today." Stacey said
