By, Naomi Cindy B.

( BE MY GIRL )

The k-s got more intense by the minutes, and as the rain poured, it went more insane and crazy, none was ready to break it for a f**king breath.

Draco’s arm went behind her back, caging her tightly to himself while still eating up her l-ips in the most succulent way ever.

JoJo was still holding him by the sides, feeling like this is the best moment she has ever experienced since birth.

He tasted like intoxicating whiskey, so strong, enchanting and bewitching.

She finally raised her hands to his face and hugged it in the middle of her palms, pulling him closer.

Draco started running his palms through her soaked back, and she released countless gasps into his mouth in the process.

Meanwhile, Butter was about to get to that side when Luna suddenly blocked him.

She has actually seen Draco and JoJo.

“What?” He asked.

“I’ve searched that side, let’s just go” she replied and took him away.

JoJo suddenly broke the k-s and swallowed hærd before looking up at Draco.

The rain was already stopping.

Their l-ips swelled as a result of the k-s, and their hearts were busy slamming hærd on their chests as they stared hærd at each other.

“JoJo…” Draco made to talk, but she detached herself from him immediately, stepping back afterwards.

She has this fearful look on her face which he’s not understanding.

“Wait…

Before he could say another word, she ran away.

“JoJo!” He shouted, going after her, but she didn’t stop till she got back to the center.

“JoJo!” Butter shouted, hugging her immediately.

“Where have you been?” Luna asked, taking a relieved breath.

“Where did you go?” Winter asked in same manner.

“Why did you s¢ræm?” Miss Cindy asked, and she slowly broke the hug with Butter.

“Are you ok?, What happened?” He asked gently.

“I’m fine, can you…. take me home?” She asked, and he nodded immediately.

“Come” he took her hand and they left the center together.

Draco entered fully and Luna went to him.

“What really happened?, Where did you find her at?” She asked.

“The rain” he replied simply, and his phone buzzed.

It’s a message from Viola.

*MISSION:NOW!*

“Shit” he muttered and checked the time.

It’s 8:50 already, so he got his camera and bag before rushing out of the center.

******

Butter was shaking badly as he drove, but he kept enduring, wanting to make sure he drives her home no matter what.

It seems their w-t clothes is all complicating things, so he stopped in front of a boutique.

“Why?” She asked

“We need to change” he replied, and they came down.

They went in together, and minutes later, they came out changed to new clothes.

They got back in the car and Butter drove the remaining kilometers to her house, though he’s still shaking slightly, and headache is living in his head currently.

“Thanks” she said when he finally brought the car to a stop in front of her place.

She stepped out, and he did too.

Before he knew it, he hugged her tightly.

“Sleep tight” he whispered, stroking her hair.

“You’re shaking” she replied, and he smiled before breaking the hug.

“I’m fine, go in”

“Take care” she said, and he nodded as she went in.

He got back in the car and a drop of blood dripped on his shirt.

In another second, another drop fell… from his nose.

He quickly got tissues from the drawer and wiped the blood.

He drove away, but his head kept splitting, he kept shaking and sweating, and the blood kept dropping from his nose.

He hasn’t driven close to five minutes when he stopped.

He got his phone and dialled James line.

“Where the heck are you?, Are you planning to sleep out?”

“Come to JoJo’s street RN, I’m…I think I’m… I’m dying” he said weakly, and the phone dropped from his hand.

His head fell on the wheel as he went unconscious.

“Drake!, Drake!!, Drake!!!” James yelled on phone.

Ten minutes later, James car stopped beside the road, and he rushed out.

He ran to Butter’s car and opened the door, his eyes w¡dened immediately.

“Drake open your eyes!” He shook him.

“F**k, he’s burning up” he said when his hand brushed his skin.

He carried him from that car into his own car, then he drove off to the hospital.

*****

JOJO’S PLACE**

Victoria was in the living room when JoJo came in, she’s knitting a scarf.

“Baby!” She smiled.

“Hi” JoJo waved sullenly, and Victoria stood.

“What’s up?, Are you ok?” she said.

“I’m fine mummy” she replied slowly, and Victoria walked to her.

She felt her temperature but it’s normal.

“You’re not burning, then what’s wrong?, You look sad”

“I need to go catch some sleep, the cold night is taking a great toll on me” JoJo replied.

“Ok baby, I knitted a bralette for you, you can rock it with a jean jacket tommorow” Victoria smiled, and JoJo nodded.

“I love you JoAnn” she hugged her.

“I love you more mummy, goodnight” she replied and entered her room.

She stayed by the door and went down, squatting there.

All she has in her head right now is the hot k-s with Draco, it’s not something to be forgotten easily.

The more she thinks about it, the more crazier she went, but anytime she thinks about what she saw in the restroom…

FLASHBACK**

“Arrggghhhhhh!!!” She s¢ræmed immediately she opened the door.

A masked person is standing in front of her, wearing all black, whoever it is is actually scary.

“Shut the f**k” a male voice replied and before she knew it, she was sedated with an injection which was shoved into her neck.

She slept off immediately, and the masked guy carried her on his shoulders.

Her head dangled behind him, and her headband fell as he ran out of the place completely.

He was still on the run till he left the school premises and got to the road where he entered a dark corner and plunged her down.

She woke up immediately, and when she made to s¢ræm, he got a gun and aimed for her heart.

Her eyes w¡dened, and she quickly tightened her l-ips on each other, shaking as the gun faced her.

“I have just one warning to sound” he said, and JoJo nodded nervously.

“Stay away from Draco Klein, stay away!” He barked, and she nodded again.

“As from tomorrow, if you’re seen anywhere with him, not only you will die, but Victoria…”

“Mummy!” JoJo gasped with wide eyes.

“Yeah, your mum will die with you, so stay away from Draco!, Else you’ll smell death!, Understood?”

“Understood!” She replied frightfully, and he ran away into the darkness.

FLASHBACK ENDS**

JoJo felt tears escaping her eyes as she remembered everything.

Now she has to stay away from him as from tommorow if she really wants to protect herself and her mum.

After the hot k-s they shared, she’d have to start acting cold to him?.

“Gawd, I don’t know what to do” she covered her face with her palms as she cried.

9:10PM★A BREWERY**

Draco’s bike stopped in front of the building, and he came down from it.

He removed his helmet, revealing his masked face.

The target was so easy to locate this time around, thanks to Viola.

“You have just three minutes to spend in there safely” Viola said from his earpiece.

“Qui” he replied, going to the back of the building.

He got to the base of the lowest balcony and jumped up, grabbing the concrete.

He climbed up through that and jumped into the balcony, meeting a locked door with a keyboard.

He brought out a scanner that’s connected to Viola’s lab and scanned it.

“4423” Viola said, and he pressed the code.

The door clicked open, and he entered easily, meeting himself in a long hallway.

“Three minutes starts now” Viola said.

He walked faster till he got to a black door which he opened with a kick.

Once opened, he went in and met himself in a lab with various workers.

“Who are you!” One of them asked, and he smirked through his mask.

“Hell’s owner” he said and got the second gun from his strap.

It’s actually a tranquilizer gun that’ll make them sleep.

He gave them each a shot, and they fell on the ground except one who he didn’t shoot.

That one started shivering badly as Draco went closer to him.

“Don’t… don’t..shoot me” he stammered.

“Take me to the boss!” Draco said, dragging him out of the office.

“One minute, 50 secs left” Viola said.

“Faster!” Draco pushed the man forward, and he started walking fast till they got to an elevator which they rode to the topmost floor.

He led him to a room and Draco opened the door easily, thanks to the scanner and Viola.

The middle aged man is in bed with a b*tch, he was f**king her like a beast, and her s¢ræms were everywhere.

Immediately he entered, the man pulled out of the girl.

“Who are you!, How did you enter and…

“Go wait in hell, I’ll come with answers when I’m dead” Draco interrupted and shot him twice on the forehead.

The lab attendant and the b*tch fainted immediately, and Draco walked out of the room.

“20 secs left!” Viola said.

“Can’t escape cracking some skulls” Draco replied as he entered the elevator.

The elevator got to the floor he entered at, and immediately the door opened, he met ten guards.

“Time up!” Viola said

“I’ll take care of them” he replied and jumped out of the elevator, giving the first one a punch which sent him to heaven immediately.

The others came at him at a time, and he knocked out two with his elbow at a time.

He did an handstand and strangled two with his boots, then he hit the head of two together.

Their blood stained his mask as they went down.

Over twenty guards came out of the elevators, and the fight got madder.

One succeeded in shooting him on the arm, but that didn’t shake him.

He gave that particular one a backhand and a straight kick at the same time.

He died flat on the ground.

“Leave the building right now!, You have 20 minutes left to get to the cult house, Kelly finished his mission already and he mustn’t arrive before you” Viola said.

Draco got the tranquilizer gun and shot the nearest ones, so he maneuvered his way through a thin space he found.

He ran out of the hallway, and the rest chased him till he got to the balcony and jumped back down.

He got on his bike and drove off fast, he’s like a squirrel on the road so within two minutes, he left the vicinity.

He could hear police sirens from afar, but even magic can’t make them catch him again.

He made sure his bleeding arm is not dripping on the ground as he drove.

He got to the cult house before Kelly, and Kavita smiled as he came in.

Just when Stone was about to stand and pronounce him as his right hand man, he started walking out.

“Draco!” Kavita shouted, and he stopped to look back.

“I didn’t join this cult to become number two, I joined for revenge, and once it’s over, I’m out” he said, and all eyes w¡dened as he started walking again.

He met Kelly by the door and smirked.

“You can have the position, kid cultist” he said and left the house.

*****

NEXT MORNING**

Draco had a little difficulty in driving to school cos of his arm, it’s hurting so much despite the fact that he has removed the bullet.

He didn’t sleep last night at all, not because of the shot arm, but because of JoJo.

The k-s filled up his whole head, and her face won’t stop running around his memory, he missed her so much that he nearly went to her house at midnight.

He still can’t understand why she was like that last night, but whatever it is, he’s determined to solve it today and…tell her what he feels.

He stopped in front of a Jewelry store and went in, then he started looking around for any pretty thing.

“How may I help you sir?” An attendant asked behind him.

“Any suitable jewelry for asking a girl out?” He asked, and the lady smiled before snapping her fingers.

Two attendants rode a jewelry glass house to them, it contains a shinny golden anklet, so beautiful and adorable.

“One in town golden anklet, I’m sure the girl won’t think twice before saying yes” the lady smiled.

Draco imagined it on JoJo’s ankle and nodded, it’ll be cute like crazy.

“I’ll take it” He said.

“It’s a hundred million dollars” the lady said, and Draco looked at her.

“Pack it” he replied without thinking.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY**

“Vote Draco Klein as the most handsome humanitarian!!!”

“Vote Butter as the most handsome humanitarian!”

Such s¢ræms filled up the whole school, and the paparazzi was even crazier than yesterday’s.

It’s part of the award to be given at the dinner that’s coming up next week.

The most handsome and most beautiful in the major.

“Vote v×rgiπia Coker as the most beautiful humanitarian!” Cora and Abigail s¢ræmed around with v×rgiπia’s picture.

“Vote Snow Denmark as the most beautiful humanitarian!” Winter shouted with some guys, distributing Snow’s pictures around.

Snow smiled as she entered the hallway and saw her

“Snow Denmark!” Winter shouted again, and Snow smiled w¡der.

“Vote JoJo Collins!!!!!!!!!” Luna shouted , entering the hallway with JoJo’s pictures.

She tucked clothes into her bum to make it look bigger, then she’s wearing heavy makeup which gave her a funny look.

She was shaking the fake @ss and dancing as she campaigned.

“Vote JoJo Collins!!!, The slim beauty of humanity major!, That tan skinned girl!, My baby is winning!!!!”

Everyone diverted attention to her, and they started laughing at her silliness.

The smile disappeared from Snow’s face, and when JoJo came in to see what’s going on, she rushed to Luna.

“Wait!, You nominated me?”

“Of course baby!, if you don’t win I’ll not eat for a year!, Vote JoJo Collins!” Luna shouted again.

JoJo was about to talk again when Draco suddenly appeared and pulled her hand, taking her away from the hallway.

Snow’s eyes followed them, and she sighed before entering the class.

*****

AN EMPTY CLASS**

Draco got there with JoJo, and she quickly took her hand from him, shocking him.

“What?” She asked coldly without smiling.

“About the k-s last night…

“What about it?” She interrupted.

“Let’s…

“Let’s forget about it” she interrupted, and he felt his heart sinking immediately.

“What!”

“Yes,let’s do that, I’m not the first girl you k-sed anyways, so let’s pretend it didn’t happen” she said without attaching any emotion to her face.

“JoJo…

“Forget it” she interrupted, and he sighed, tightening his palms on the anklet box.

He stepped back from her and walked out of the class, meeting Butter by the door.

Butter came in immediately he went out.

“Drake?” JoJo said surprisingly.

He actually woke up this morning, and though he’s still sick, he just wants to see her and clear things, that’s why he’s here.

He got to her and hugged her gently, feeling better immediately.

“Drake” JoJo called again, and he slowly broke the hug.

He held her face immediately, then his eyes turned affectionate with huge drops of passion as he stared into hers.

“I love you” he said, and she blinked once before smiling.

“I love you too” she said.

Draco’s heart shattered completely immediately.

He’s actually still listening by the door.

He rushed out of the block and went to the amphitheatre where he sat and dropped the anklet box.

He buried his face in his palms, and he was unaware of when a tear dropped from his red eyes.

*****

BACK IN THE CLASS**

“You… love me too?” Butter said unbelievably, and JoJo nodded.

“Yes, as a friend, friends love each other, right?” She said, and his hopes got cut immediately.

“I don’t want friendly love” he said, still holding her face.

“Huh?” She blinked.

“Can’t you love me r-mantically?” He whispered, and her eyes w¡dened.

“I’m in love with you, JoJo Collins” he said, and she folded her fists

” I want you, please be my girl” he whispered again, and her eyes w¡dened more.

“Drake…”
