Beatrice and Ava stood there outside of the office, Beatrice opened the door for Ava to which she muttered her thank you to her. The office seems so to be a little dim, a long rectangular table was placed in the middle, far end of the room. There were at least three people sitting three inches away from each other, they were busy with the paperwork on the desk.

None of them bother looking up, they were just reading and signing whatever they are looking at. Ava felt a little awkward and somehow embarrassed to be standing in that cold office.

"Mr. Lawrence had given his statement earlier to which he admitted to coming up at the rooftop and spent the night with a girl. Is this girl you, Ms. Silva?" One of them asked.

"Yes." Ava replied.

"Since you admitted as well, I'll let the council president handle it from here. I thought it was something more severe. You're dismissed." The woman on the left spoke.

Beatrice just nodded her head and gestured for Ava to follow her out of the office. Ava could feel herself sweating inside, she heard the officials that the president of the council will handle this punishment that she will soon receive. Beatrice halted and turned around to face

"The last time I gave my first and last warning was when I received a complaint was of you and Mr. Lawrence skipping your classes just to date. And now, you spent time with the boy at the rooftop of the school. What were you thinking, Ava?" Beatrice spoke. Her voice kind of startled Ava.

"Bea, it's not like we really did something wrong. We went up there because JC gave me a surprise and we spent time together up there and we lost track of time. We didn't realize that we slept in and woke up the next day." Ava replied. Beatrice stared at Ava with such hate not because of Ava herself but because of JC.

Ava suddenly shut her mouth completely and looked away from Beatrice, she was kind of scared that she might have made Beatrice angry at that moment for not listening at the first warning. "I'm sorry. It won't happen again…" Ava muttered.

"Good. Head back to class while you still have the remaining time." Beatrice responded and directly opened the door for Ava, waiting for her to leave.

Ava had her eyes on the ground the whole time as she left that place, she was kind of sulking after seeing Beatrice get mad for some reason that she could not understand. To her conclusion, Beatrice doesn't like anyone disobeying anything that is under her command.

Somehow Ava finally thought of getting Beatrice's attention, although it will bring a big chaos if she does that. Her attention was just all about Beatrice at the moment, her phone buzzed pulling her out of her own thoughts.

Though she noticed Beatrice's sudden change of aura, she was sure that Beatrice was pissed of what happened and she understood as she is the council president and she is obliged to reassure that everyone is following the rules. She sighed heavily and checked her phone to see the text came from JC.

JC: Where are you? Did they call in the office?

Ava: Yeah they did. But they just asked me whether I was the girl you were with up there or not.

JC: Did they give you any punishment?

Ava: Thank God, they didn't. I can't have a bad record already as a freshman.

JC: You're an angel baby, you will never look bad in everyone's eyes.

Ava: Right… I might come over to your practice, yeah?

JC: We will be attending a party tonight after practice but I'll drop by at the dorm to change. Will that be alright?

Ava: Yes, sure. I'll see you later then. I love you baby.

JC: See you later, love you too.

Ava put back her phone and sighed, her mind went back to Beatrice's expression earlier. She wasn't so pleased of what really happened and now Ava is bothered by it, she didn't want to upset Beatrice.

She finds it a little too weird for Beatrice to get mad at a small issue but Ava wasn't thinking about how low that reason was, she was thinking how she would make it up to Beatrice. No matter how small it is for Ava, she cared for what Beatrice would think about her. Ava could not understand why she was feeling that way but she didn't like how Beatrice was looking at her with those eyes raging the anger inside.

Ava checked her school schedule and saw that she has two more classes which means she will not see Beatrice anytime soon. But Ava was hoping that Ms. Turner would give them an activity for the partners right away, she wanted to apologize to Beatrice. Though, it really isn't a big of a deal but the way those eyes of Beatrice looked really pissed while staring into hers scared Ava.

She walked through the hallways of the campus when she suddenly heard Dana calling her name in panic. "Ava! Ava! Please help me! It's Sam!" Dana said, she was panicking and panting hard because of running.

Ava didn't think twice but followed Dana, it was Sam after all they were going after. She ran along with Dana who was a little faster than her, she catched up with Dana a few seconds before she heard voices of people, she was led outside at the back of the university building of social sciences and nursing department building.

The crowd was formed into a circle, there were people in the middle that seemed to be arguing and such. A typical situation where you see in the movies, a bully messes with the quiet kid or anyone they find as a weak target. Dana pushed the students just so she could pass through and Ava did the same but saying her excuses before she followed Dana.

Ava finds this really childish to happen, this ground is not high school anymore. These people act as if they were children who steal candies from the little ones during Halloween. Dana and Ava finally got in the middle and quickly ran to Samuel who was pinned down harshly and the left side of his head was bleeding.

Ava glared at the boy who did this to her friend, she wasn't surprised to even see who that person was. It was the same boy who put his arm around her sister's shoulder and she was not comfortable with what this boy did.

"What the fuck is your problem Travis?! Why did you have to hurt Samuel?!" Dana shouted at this boy named Travis.

"Dyke! Shut the fuck up! I thought you'd only go for pussies, why are you defending this boy?! Get out of my way!" Travis replied, shouting at Dana and shoving her on the side. Dana groaned out loud after falling down on the ground, Ava then stood in front of Samuel with so much hate in her eyes. She was directly looking at Travis, she was beyond mad for this boy acting like he is the king of this little kingdom.

"Ah it's you again. I'm starting to think that you are into me. You don't have to get hurt so just move to the side and we'll just finish what we were doing earlier." Travis spoke to Ava. A smug on his face was something Ava would love to smack it out from him.

"Who the hell told you to do this to Sam?" Ava asked.

"Well, first. He was eyeing my girl earlier in the cafeteria, I got jealous because I don't like sharing what's mine. I'm sure your boyfriend would do the same if anyone is eyeing his girl." Travis responded, filled with confidence.

"You sound like a pussy to me, Travis. You do not have the right to hurt my friend." Ava said to Travis who obviously was caught off guard to what Ava had said.

"Fine. If you don't get out of my way, then I'll do it for you!" Travis raged immediately which surprised Ava, Travis sprinted towards Ava and grabbed both of her arms. Ava tried to break free from his grip only for him to tighten it.

Ava winced a little from the pain, she knew she would get bruises the next day. She looked at him with hatred and Travis just smirked at Ava and spoke.

"You really don't know what family I have and I learned a lot when I was growing up. Women like deserved to be punished for butting into my business." Travis whispered to her before he pushed her down on the ground and spit on Ava.

His friends around him started laughing while she could hear Dana shouting from behind, walking towards them only to be stopped by the other boys. Travis then grabbed Samuel's water bottle and opened it, he brought the opened water bottle on top of Ava's head and started pouring the water on her.

The whole crowd gasped and some started murmuring. Ava was beyond mad but at the same time ashamed of what she looked like right at that situation. She feels humiliated by what Travis is doing, after pouring it all down on her. He harshly threw the bottle at her, hitting her on the face.

"Alright that's it you motherfucker!" Dana shouted as she launched towards them, trying to get to Ava which she successfully did.

Ava couldn't believe that it hasn't been really a month but such happenings have been happening around here and worse is that she is involved in it, she couldn't help but mentally slap herself. This was supposed to be the week where she would seek her true nature for taking photographs while she writes to become the best famous author. She found herself snapped back from reality when she heard somebody screaming at the top of their lungs as if it was ready to beat up somebody.

"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?!" A voice of a man that is so familiar with Ava's ears.

All of their heads turned to the direction of where the voice had come from and saw JC with the Vice President council, Secretary and JC's friends. The rest of them run towards Dana and Samuel to help them standing up. Ava watched JC as he approached Travis who was beyond shocked to see him walking towards him.

JC immediately threw a punch at Travis and he fell down on the ground, JC didn't stop there. JC gave Travis four punches and Travis was bleeding out, Ava immediately stood up and tried to stop JC from punching Travis.

JC was beyond mad, the reason was because one of the students came running to Luna and reporting what was happening. JC didn't not like what Travis had done, the brat crossed the line which raged JC.

"Baby! Please stop! You're going to kill him!" Ava shouted, tears forming in her eyes. This was the first time JC acted like this, she was scared but worried at the same time.

The rest of his friends came and tried to pull him away from Travis, it didn't take them a minute to break him away from Travis who was bleeding, JC was acting hysterical and all Ava saw was pure anger in his eyes.

"JC, JC! Baby please! Look at me! Look at me. It's okay, I-it's okay…" Ava whispered to JC who gazed at her and his eyes softened when her eyes stared at his.

"A-are you okay? Are you sure?" JC asked, worryingly. He checked Ava's face and her arms just to be sure.

"J-JC. I didn't mean to…" Travis stuttered at JC, JC quickly glared at Travis who stood up from laying down on the ground. JC launched himself towards Travis ready to throw another punch when they heard the voice of the ice queen.

"We can set up a boxing ring here if you boys want to!" Beatrice spoke, making her voice louder to be able to be heard by everyone. Beatrice stood there in the entrance door on the way into the four sector building departments.

Her eyes never left to the commotion in the middle of the crow, Beatrice started walking towards them, approaching them and every step Beatrice took she eye them one by one. Her cold stare landed at Ava which surprised Beatrice and her eyes turned soft for the younger girl.

Camila had told Beatrice through the text after Camila asking Luna about Beatrice's phone number so that she could contact the girl. Camila texted that there is a commotion at the back of the university building departments. And so she quickly excused herself in the meeting with the upper. Beatrice looked around and saw Camila with a surprise look then ran up to Ava who was soaking wet.

Beatrice halted a few inches from JC and Ava. She was losing her mood earlier from the council talks with the upper officials, had a conversation with her mother and father about the competition in Japan which almost didn't go well but needed to be more convinced, thinking about JC's and Ava's punishment for breaking the school ground rules.

And now this, Beatrice noticed Travis and soon after realized it was the same boy who crossed the line the other day. Travis couldn't look at Beatrice right in her eyes, so much more that he can't even speak to JC. She did her little research about Travis and found out who this boy is.

"Care to explain what was happening Mr. Lawrence?" Beatrice questioned JC.

"One of the students told me that this bastard pushed Ava and spilled water on her." JC responded calmly even though he was still raging inside and Ava was comforting him and telling him that she wasn't really hurt. Although, what hurts Ava was the humiliation she had to face.

"Is this true?" Beatrice asked but this time it was for everyone who was in the crowd and watched what was happening.

The crowd was silent, none of them tried to speak up. Beatrice hated how this people would not speak up the truth nor try to even stop the commotion, instead they rather watch it happening and make things worse. Beatrice sighed, trying not to burst out as she had her temper once again.

"Mr. Travis… Lawrence. I would suggest for you to come to the council office where the rest of the officers would decide whether to give you a heavy punishment for physically hurting students." Beatrice spoke.

"You didn't even ask what the hell happened! Why is Travis the only one coming to the office?! That bastard over there hurt him too! " The blonde boy shouted.

"If you think Travis would feel lonely when he visits the office, why don't you come with him?" Beatrice bluntly replied.

"Are you really sure you're the school president?!" The blonde boy questioned. Beatrice was now intrigued with the question, she finds it really funny for a freshman to question her about her presidency.

"If you step right in front me, then I will tell you my answer." Beatrice spoke. She stared at him, her cold stare piercing through his blue eyes. The blonde boy started making his way towards Beatrice and Travis tried to stop him but he yanked his hand away and made his way to Beatrice.

As soon as he came near, Beatrice swung her fist hitting him directly on his face causing him to fall on the ground. Beatrice never felt good at that moment, her punch this time was with all of her strength causing Lloyd to bleed immediately. Beatrice heard a few gasps which includes Ava's, JC didn't stop the president as she is known for that as well. Violent. And strong. Everyone is afraid of Beatrice.

Nobody really knew the real Beatrice now even JC, Luna and Lea. None of these people knew what she really had to go through, Beatrice inhaled and exhaled heavily before she gained her composure.

"My presidency is not questionable to a lot of people, not even to the officials. My judgements as of this moment are quite in check. Luna, make sure these boys will be present in the office or if they do not come. We go the old ways." Beatrice spoke. Gazing at Luna who immediately smirked at Beatrice.

Camila whispered to Luna what Beatrice had meant, just like Beatrice. Luna was softly explaining to the younger girl that it is something that the council officers punishments to delinquents who do not know how to even go throughout the day without causing any trouble.

Of course Beatrice is still mad for what Travis did but she could not do anything just yet since Travis is JC and Lea's half brother, a son from the second wife of their father. She will leave it in JC's hands, he has a grudge from the second family but knowing JC, he will not act right away unless it's about the people he really loves.

Beatrice's heart ached when she had thought about it, JC is really protective with the ones he really loves which means that includes Ava. The bell started ringing, everyone started leaving the space and head to their respective class.

Ava helped JC and then proceeded to check Dana and Samuel, Beatrice watched them walk away while Travis remained standing there with his friends. Beatrice waited for them to leave and then directly walked towards the boys who were looking on the ground. The cowardly look on their faces really made Beatrice roll her eyes out of annoyance.

"One more trouble, Lawrence. You and your friends will kiss goodbye to your future career, hm? This is my kingdom that I rule, so behave." Beatrice threatened, though she seemed calm but her eyes showed rage. She gave them one last look before she turned around and left the boys.

The truth is she wanted to really hurt Travis at that moment, it was her chance. It was not because of getting harassed by that boy, it is because of Ava. She was there by the window right before Camila had texted her, she was watching the commotion. Ever since Ava and Camila came to the university, Beatrice could not help but look after the two showed that they were strongly independent women that they are and were raised to be like that.

Beatrice was older than them, ever since she was little she looked after them because they were her little sisters. Her parents would always tell her to take care of those two, Beatrice chuckled at herself remembering the words that her parents would always tell her and so she did.

"Ms. Beatrice Hansen, please proceed to the council office." A voice of a female spoke through the announcement speaker box. Beatrice made her way while she was lost

Even if they were living far away from each other, Beatrice still looked after them through social media. If anyone is wondering how Beatrice had fallen in-love with Ava, it was because of a memory remembered while growing up.

.

.

.

"One day, I'll get to marry you Beatrice!"...

"Because I heard Lilith told Mary that one day she will marry her because they love each other! And I love you Bea so I will marry you!"...

Beatrice found herself smiling involuntarily after recalling that memory, she didn't know that those words would keep repeating in her head until she realized that she really wasn't interested in men. Beatrice has always seen herself different from other girls that she had been friends with, she met Lea during her senior year because of JC.

Lea is like Beatrice, she was also interested in women. She helped Beatrice to finally embrace who she was but it was quite rough for Beatrice as she wasn't emotionally, physically and mentally prepared for what happens to her next steps. Beatrice continued walking until she finally reached the office.

//

Ava is now getting treated with the little wound she received from Travis, after pushing her roughly on the floor. JC was spaced out, Ava noticed that. She approached JC and gently placed her hand on his shoulder causing him to glance at her. The nurse just finished cleaning up the wounds on his fist, Ava sat beside JC.

"Were you scared?" JC asked.

"Scared?" Ava questioned.

"About what you saw earlier. Usually, I hold my temper but after I find out what that brat did, I just felt mad and couldn't hold back anymore." JC replied. Ava thought about her answers before she opens her mouth and tell him the answer.

"I was a little surprised because of what happened but I guess you were just protective and thank you. Though, you didn't have to hurt him that bad." Ava said.

"What do you mean?! Sam almost died!" Dana spat.
