Another Bad Boy Down

Everyone in the room is now looking at me with weird expressions on their faces. I didn't bother with them and just focused on the guys in front, who are now looking at me in puzzlement.

The Xin City High's uniform for boys is a combination of a white long sleeve, neck tie, black slacks, and a navy blue outer coat with the school's seal embroidered on it.

Vincent coughed intentionally before saying in a warm sincere tone of voice "Why don't you use mine instead?".

The whole class again burst in an uproar. I secretly rolled my eyes, as my classmates mutter insignificant protests to the guys in front. They are saying that a shameless girl like me should just be ignored. They are obviously against me being close to the royalties. The more they oppose of my actions, the more I want to do it.

I can't seem to wipe off the smug look that formed on my face. I directed my attention to Trix who is now throwing invisible daggers at me. I grimaced, I stood straight and composed my self before taking a few steps away from the window. With a sweet smile on my face I moved slowly and elegantly forward, but I abruptly stopped when a lean and manly figure suddenly appeared in front of me. A refreshing scent assaulted my nostrils making me high on the spot.

How can a man smell so good? Well, i do know a lot of males who smell good but this scent is different, it is a very relaxing scent. It's mild and fragrant but still have a hint of masculinity in it. I smilingly looked up but my smile faltered as soon as I set my eyes on him. This is unexpected, how come Xander be here? Xander have been quiet and indifferent the moment he entered our classroom. He would occasionally look around the room or nod at the girls who shyly greeted him. He would occasionally look at me with curiosity in his eyes as I convince Kyle to take my side.

He didn't utter a word the whole time and only busied himself with his mobile phone. So what does Mr. Genius want from me now? He didn't look at me but rather at my seat behind me.

He then turned around to face everyone, leaving me gazing at his broad back. "Who would even dare to bully a fellow student of Xin City High? This is really interesting. Not only bullying but also vandalizing a school property? I wonder who is bold enough to break the school rules this openly?" Xander said in a cold sarcastic tone of voice.

I am still standing behind Xander so I can't see the reactions that transpired when they heard his words. I shrugged my shoulders and continued to stand behind Xander, not minding the 'prince-saving-the-damsel-in-distress' situation I am in right now. I don't like acting weak and hiding behind someone else's back but the situation I am in right now is advantageous for me. If the school council steps in, those possessive fan girls will think twice or thrice before making another move like this in the future. Just like when I was first bullied in school because of my friendly relationship with Vincent, they also started with vandalizing and stealing my stuff but stopped abruptly after Vincent stepped in. Being the Vice-president of the school council, he have the authority to punish anyone who go against the school rules and one of those rules is to not bully any of your fellow XCH student. Another one is to not damage or vandalize any of the school properties. The students in this school are mostly from rich families so such behaviors which are vulgar and inappropriate is also labeled as disgracing the name of this prestigious academy.

No one will dare to repeat this type of bullying again in the near future, but I am sure that they will still try to bully me using other possible methods. Well, it's better than arriving in school everyday with a dirty and broken chair and desk. I also hate it when they steal my stuff. I better hide my stuff again. I should ask Vincent later if I could use his personal locker.

"We also don't know who did that to Elrae. When we arrived, her seat was already in a mess. We were actually telling her to report it to the school council earlier but fortunately the young masters came. Please give justice Master Kyle." a concerned female voice echoed in the now silent room.

That voice still vexed me every time I hear it. Who else could it be? Of course it's Trix, no one else would have the gut to utter a word in front of the council's president in a situation like this where anyone could be the suspect.

"Vincent, could you check the CCTV footage of this room later after we finish our task?" Kyle said in a calm cool voice.

"Surely will." Vincent said in a calm warm tone of voice.

"The student council will not let violators run amok in this school." Kyle said in a loud clear voice. Authority and indignation can be heard in his voice.

I creased my brow when I suddenly realized something. Trix's voice echoed in my head. She seems confident enough, does this mean that she is not the one who trashed my seat? Or did she pay someone else to do it for her? I better be more careful in the future, this immature girls are now developing a brain of their own. I was in deep thought when the guy in front of me suddenly turned to face me.

I looked at him with an indifferent expression on my face. Now that I already accomplished my goal, there is no need to smile in front of him anymore. My cheeks is already hurting due to excessive smiling anyway. Xander didn't seem to mind my sudden change of expression for his face also remained indifferent. He slowly leaned closer to me, making me smell his scent even more. He whispered in a low voice "Neo said not to flirt with other men. I'm exempted for today."

My whole body froze when I heard him. Who? What? Before I could snap out of my stupor, an object suddenly landed on my head making my vision black. A very familiar scent suddenly interrupted my line of thought bringing me back to my senses. I hastily pulled the object on top of my head. I looked at it and saw that it was a navy coat with the school seal embroidered on it and Vincents name is embroidered in silver thread in it's left breast pocket.

"Let's start the briefing." Vincent's voice echoed inside the room.

I looked at his direction. I only saw his back as he strode back beside Kyle. Xander is now magically in front with them. I moved my head to look at the coat in my hands and after debating with my self in my head for a while, I spread it over my chair and sat on it.
