BEAUTY IN DISGUISE - Episode 8 And 9

NEXT DAY, MAYBELLINE COLLEGE**

“Can’t wait for next week Monday seriously, thankfully I got VIP ticket, I’m sitting in the front, Genova will look so cute, his stage outfit is always a killer” Polly said, walking down the hallway with Trinidad.

“I can’t attend” Trinidad replied

“What!, You’re an ANJELL” Polly replied.

“Yes but… I have things to do that day” Trinidad replied.

“A true ANJELL will set everything apart just to attend, you got the VIP ticket right?” Polly asked.

” Yes, but I’m not attending” Trinidad replied.

” Whatever, suit yourself” Polly rolled eyes and Trinidad got a call.

Red appeared immediately and Trinidad entered the restroom to pick the call.

“Mum… I told you to put limits to your calls… I’m in school” she whispered.

” I’m sorry, I’m just tired, I’m resting and I decided to call you, are you doing well in school? ” Her mum asked.

” Of course… Bye” she hung up and breathed hard.

She came out of the restroom and met Red still talking to Polly.

“Seriously Red, can you stop stalking me?, At the mall yesterday… I saw you following me secretly too, I can arrest you” Polly said.

” Stalking?, How bold, you’re stalking the great Polly Kang?, You’re not even that handsome” Trinidad butt in.

” I’m doing all what I could to make you mine, you aren’t even gonna appreciate my efforts by falling for me? ” Red said, seemingly angry .

Polly smiled and pulled him closer, she let her lips play in front of his own.

“Is this supposed to be some sort of punishment?” He whispered.

“Thankfully you know it’s a punishment, stop bothering me when I have Izzy and Riri to take care of” she said and pushed him away slightly

” Gaja (let’s go)” she said and Trinidad followed her.

“Izzy, Riri” Red smiled.

CLASS, 20 MINUTES LATER**

“Polly Kang” Mr Bong called and she stood haughtily.

“You didn’t turn in your assignment” he said.

Polly gave him an I don’t care look.

” You’re getting one penalty point” he said.

“Even better, what’s the use of good grades anyways” she sat.

” I wonder what your future will look like, Polly Kang” Mr Bong said.

“What do you mean” Polly replied.

” You’re a waste” Mr Bong replied

” What! ”

” It’s the truth” Mr Bong said and Polly stood.

She started walking to the lecturer.

” Is she gonna slap him?” Craig wondered.

“She’s free to do whatever she likes, it’s not her first time” Genova replied.

” Badass” Reece smiled.

” I wonder what she’s gonna do” Quincy said.

” Something nasty I think” Izzy replied.

Linabae folded her arms, watching Polly.

Polly got to the front and made to slap the lecturer but Molly held her.

“Stop this madness Polly” she said

“It’s my life b*tch, I need to teach him a lesson for telling me crap” Polly replied, struggling to break free but another hand grabbed her, it’s Craig’s.

“You should leave if you’re going to keep disturbing the class” he said and started pulling her out.

Her bones are damn strong but definitely not as strong as Craig’s.

“Let me go!!”

“Let me go jerk!”

“Let go of me!” She kept screaming till she was forcefully taken out.

Craig shut the door and came back to sit.

Linabae stared endlessly at his coolness, he’s damn cool and cute at the same time.

“Reece Alejandro, you’re getting a penalty point too” Mr Bong said.

Reece only smiled.

” You guys are stars, you’re the reason why the son and daughters of every rich personality in Korea wants to come to Maybelline, they all want to attend this school cos of your faces, why can’t you just emulate Genova…is it so hard?” Mr Bong said.

Reece sighed without replying and Mr Bong continued with his class

He wrote the topic on the white board and was about to go deep into it when the class door shattered.

The glass broke and Polly stepped in, she actually broke it with a chair.

Everyone stared in astonishment as she walked to her seat, she picked her bag and looked at Genova before walking out.

“She’s going crazy everyday” Molly whispered.

The class ended after an hour and Linabae came to Quincy and Izzy.

“You guys understood the class?” She asked.

” Of course, lecturer Bong is good” Quincy replied.

” If it’s possible for two people to have same voice then you have the voice of Quincy Norbert” Linabae said and Quincy smiled.

” Maybe” she said, hiding her awkwardness.

” I seriously don’t understand what he thought, can you guys do me the favor of explaining again?” Linabae said.

” We don’t mind” Izzy replied and she sat with them

They read together for almost thirty minutes and she nodded when they were done.

“I’m glad I came to you guys, now I understand” she said.

” It’s nothing, we’re going to the cafeteria” Quincy replied.

” I’d have gone with you guys but I really don’t fancy eating in the cafeteria” she replied.

*That’s more like you* Quincy thought.

“That mean we’ll see in the last class” Izzy said.

“Yes, that’s coming up an hour from now” Bae smiled and left the class.

Izzy and Quincy left the class too, making their way to the cafeteria.

“She’s cool, don’t you think?” Izzy asked.

“Of course she is, I love her so much” Quincy replied..

” Ion think I’ll be coming to the concert again” Izzy suddenly said.

” Why?”

” I don’t have enough money to buy the ticket” she replied sullenly.

” I’ll get it for you trust me” Quincy replied.

“It’s expensive Riri” Izzy said.

“I don’t mind” Quincy replied.

“Gosh I love you so much” Izzy hugged her.

“It’s nothing, I really wanna go to the concert with you” Quincy smiled.

They broke it and continued their walk to the cafeteria, suddenly bumping into Genova and Craig.

“Hey Riri” Craig smiled charmingly.

“Craig… what’s up?” Quincy replied

“Nothing much, are you going to the cafeteria?” Craig asked.

” Of course, with my friend” she replied, holding Izzy’s hand.

Craig looked at Izzy and her face appeared in his memory, his eyes widened when he remembered a part of it.

She actually carried him and guided him with her arms, they were both walking somewhere and he’s staggering drunkenly.

Then he detected that he’s wearing the clothe he was putting on during the orientation.

He looked at her sharply.

“Were you the one who took me to the car?, On the day of the orientation?” He asked quickly.

” Why would I take you to the car, rich kids feel too important these days” Izzy scoffed and pulled Quincy away.

” It’s her face” Craig said in confusion, still trying to remember the rest of what happened but it’s not happening.

“I’ll stop you with my life anytime you talk about drinking again, now you’re seeing things” Genova said and Craig stared into space.

” Believe me I saw her face, she really carried me” he said slowly.

” Of course” Genova replied sarcastically and turned back, going towards the cafeteria.

“Where are you going to?” Craig asked.

“I’ll see you in class later, I have to go somewhere” he replied.

Craig was still standing there, trying to remember everything when Bae mistakenly bumped into him.

Her milkshake fell and he quickly looked up.

“I’m sorry, sorry for obstructing the way” he apologized and Bae only smiled.

” It’s ok, but are you ok? ” She asked.

” Of course” he smiled.

” Uuum, if you don’t mind we can talk like friends right? ” She asked.

” Friends?, Oh… Yeah I don’t mind” he replied.

” After all I’m a model like you, I was nominated to be among Quincy’s partners in her first shoot this weekend, heard you were nominated too” she said.

” Yeah, since it’s a wide concept, models are needed to cover the background for her, she’s the star anyways and I can’t wait to meet her” he replied.

” She’s my best friend ” Bae bit her lip .

“I heard about it, you’re so lucky to be her friend, heard she only talks to you and she never talks unnecessarily” he said.

” Whoa, you know a lot about my bestie…well yes, it’s all true, I’ll introduce her to you on Saturday, she’s lovely trust me” she replied.

” She must be…” He smiled.

” So…. we’re friends now right?” She asked.

” Sure, nice talking to you” he replied.

” Same feeling” she gave an eye smile .

“Are you going to the next class already?” He asked.

“Yeah, what about you?” She replied.

” Same, let’s go” he said freely and she felt too much happiness in the pit of her stomach as she walked to class with him.

Craig resumed wondering what exactly happened on the orientation day as he walked with Bae.

“Izzy, what did she do to me?, Or did I do something terrible to her in my drunk state?, Why is she denying it” he wondered.

CAFETERIA**

” You look like you’re hiding something from Craig” Quincy said immediately they both settled for lunch.

They’re both sipping milkshakes.

“It’s nothing to talk about” she replied, slopping on her milkshake.

” And you aren’t gonna even tell me?” Quincy said.

“I’m sorry Riri, I just don’t want to talk about it, he did something horrible to me” she replied.

” He puked on you?” Quincy asked.

” No ”

” He slapped you?”

” No”

” He hit you?”

” Not that” Izzy replied again.

“Ok what exactly?”

“I sincerely carried him to his car but when we got to his car…..” Izzy stopped and covered her face with her palms.

“I don’t want to talk about it” she said childishly and hit her forehead gently on the table.

“Ok… it’s ok if you don’t want to talk about it anymore, I won’t pester you again I promise” Quincy replied.

“Hey” Reece suddenly said and Quincy looked up quickly.

“Reece” she smiled.

“Can I take you somewhere?” He said and she smiled wider.

“Somewhere?, Where?”

“Come with me” he took her hand and pulled her up.

He started taking her out of the cafeteria.

Genova is sitting on one of the chairs, he’s covering his head with an hoodie but he definitely knows what’s happening.

Immediately they passed by his table, he placed his leg on the way, Reece bumped into it and fell.

All the girls gasped and rushed to him.

Reece just fell..

Is he ok?

Reece please be fine

Help him up.

Genova took advantage of the fall and pulled Quincy out of the cafeteria.

He took her to the back of it and she roughly took her hand from him.

She pulled the hoodie away from his head and smirked.

“So it’s you” she said angrily.

“Yes, are you gonna punch me?” He replied.

” I clearly saw how you placed your leg on the way for him, it was just too late to stop him” she said.

” I was just trying to save you” he replied.

” Save me?, By hurting your brother?, People do say he’s the bad one but maybe that not true cos right now you’re clearly the bad one” she glared.

” He’s trying to play you, can’t you see it?, He’s a flirt!, Look I don’t like poking my nose around but I just kind of pity you, he’s not nice, he’s trying to make you fall hard for him and then…

“I don’t want to listen to you!, Go away, don’t show up in front of me anymore” she interrupted and left him standing.

Genova sighed and looked at his hand.

“Why am I even doing this?” He wondered.

Quincy got to the cafeteria and got the news that he was taken to the school clinic.

She rushed there and saw him in the first room, more than ten girls are with him.

She stood at the entrance, looking at him.

“She’s here” one of the girls said and they all came for her.

Ugly frump, you obviously made him fall like that

Your being in Maybelline is a great bother, why don’t you just leave and die?

Our Reece got hurt cos of you

You’re shameless to come here

She kept shifting back as they showered her with questions and abuses.

“Girls it’s ok” Reece said, appearing behind her.

She looked back at him and he smiled seductively.

“Are you… ok?” She asked slowly.

“Of course, come” he said and took her hand, he pulled her to an empty ward.

“Do you have an idea of who placed a leg on the way for me?” He asked.

Quincy swallowed nothing, remembering Genova.

Reece stepped closer and held her face.

Merely feeling his soft palms on her face sent butterflies down her stomach, they threw a big party there.

“Tell me what you know” he whispered.

“It’s… it’s… Genova” she muttered.

“Shit!, I just had the hunch” he said and let go of her face.

” I need to go somewhere” he said and made to leave but she held his hand.

” You’re perfectly fine right?” She asked.

“Of course Pretty, I’ll see you around” he replied and left.

Quincy turned into a tomato, she rubbed her red cheeks.

“He called me pretty” she smiled.

She walked back to class some minutes before the last class and surprisingly, her bag and Izzy’s were nowhere to be found.

“What’s happening” she said.

“I met this on our table, I was waiting for you to come so we’d go together” Izzy said, handing her a note.

*COME TO THE GIRLS WASHROOM FOR YOUR BAGS* was written there in bold letters.

“What’s it about?” Linabae asked curiously.

” We’ll be right back” Quincy replied and she nodded .

Quincy left the class with Izzy and they went to the restroom.

The pieces of their notes was what they met, it has been torn to tiny pieces together with their bags.

It was littered on the ground of the washroom.

“My notes” Quincy said, feeling like crying.

They’re all what she has ever jotted this semester and the notes she formed by herself.

“Who did this!, Who the hell did it!!” Izzy screamed.

“It’s obvious” Quincy replied and walked furiously to the door but it won’t open.

“And why is this not opening” she said , forcefully pulling it .

Izzy joined her but it’s still the same.

“Polly!” Quincy screamed.

Polly smiled from outside, Red and Trinidad are with her.

“This is so much fun” Trinidad laughed.

“The flamy poison” Polly said and Red handed it to her.

She threw it into the restroom through the space under the door.

Izzy and Quincy started coughing immediately.

The flames emanating from it it choky, it’s obstructing their breaths and they both fell, coughing so much.

“I think I’m about to die” Quincy said, teas escaping her eyes

” Me … too” Izzy choked on her words.

“If you survive….tell my guardian I love her so much, tell BTS J-hope that I used to be a great fan of him, tell SUGAR BOYS Reece that I’m his greatest fan too, and please tell my future husband to look for another lover….” Quincy coughed.

” You must be insane” Izzy replied, blood is coming out of her nose already but no answer is coming from Quincy.

She managed to look her way and Quincy is already unconscious, backing the wall.

“The moment they inhale a little, they’ll both know the difference between life and death” Polly smiled and left with Trinidad and Red.

” Riri!!!” Izzy screamed and spit out blood, she started losing consciousness too.
