ELINA'S POV
I entered my car and the guard closed the door after me.
I touched my cheek in disbelief, Lucia slapped me! Well I pushed her too far by talking about her mom in that regard but she caused it.
What am I missing? When did she suddenly changed? Something doesn't feel right. When I mentioned her getting back at Diva for taking her fame, crush and friend, she didn't seem concerned about it. But up till last month, she was still notorious as ever? She had even hired goons to beat up a medical student who had made a mocking meme of her, till he was hospitalized. So why's she acting differently now, I thought she'd be excited like she used to be? Did she change?
I sighed and brought out my phone and began to surf their student website for any updates about her. I've been so busy this few weeks that I've been off the internet.
I came upon several headlines and I was beyond shocked.

Jeez!!! I'm such an idiot, I should have checked before running down here. Her friend was the rumoured crown princess?! It's obvious she's reconciled with her again and is totally changed from all this headlines. Unlike before when you'll be hearing and reading stuffs like...
SO CALLED QUEEN OF CAMPUS MALTREATING A SCHOLARSHIP STUDENT.
Arrghhh!! She must be having a good laugh at me now. I'll deal with her later.
For now I've got a task ahead.
I dialed a number on my phone and the receiver picked immediately. I placed the phone on my ear.
"It's time Scorpion. You must not fail me! Get rid of every obstacle, and incase of resistance you know what to do." I said.
"Roger that boss!" He said and I ended the call with a smirk.
Mother would be proud if this turns out well, and I'll get the position as the next CEO of the company...
"Drive to the airport." I said.
ALEXIS'S POV
I stared at Hector sadly, I can't believe he's leaving me too.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier, I would have been ready to see you leave. But you are just telling me that your dad's moving you guys to his headquarters in New York City few hours before you leave, aren't you supposed to be my best friend?" I queried and he sighed.
"I'm really sorry Alex, my mom told me only yesterday night. I'm really sorry, I don't wanna leave you too." He said and I swallowed painfully. Hector's my first friend ever and now he's leaving me. Although we've only been bestfriends since December when we first met, I've cherished every moment with him and will always cherish them.
"It's okay, Hector. I won't ever forget how kind you've been." I said and hugged him tight.
"I'll really miss your company but I'll see you soon when Diva brings me to New York for summer holidays. I promise, I'll see you and Candy then." I smiled tearily as I released him.
"I'll be looking forward to your visit Okay? Remember you promised." He said smilingly and I chuckled.
"Of course dummy, I'll see you then and also teach you some math." I said teasingly and he laughed and poked my forehead.
"And I'll teach you more piano keys." He said and I smiled.
"Very well I'll anticipate that." I said and we hugged one more time.
"Goodbye Hector." I released him and turned around.
"Goodbye Alexis." He said and I waved and walked ahead, down the hallway so he wouldn't see my tears. It's closing hours already, I could see the cars driving out of the school vicinity and I sighed.
Goodbye Hector, I really hope to see you again. Who'll be my friend in this school now? Not all those students who wants to be close to me only because I'm now famous. The only one who truly cared was leaving. Of course Diva would always be there for me but she's also a student, she won't be around always and I'll get lonely. But then, I'll get used to it.
Besides my aunt is pregnant, she'll give birth in a few months and I'll have a baby sister or brother to look after. I think I'll be returning to her home soon since Candace has gone back to New York.
I sighed and walked down the last stairs to the spot my guards usually wait for me. They weren't there, okay that's weird.
I turned to look for them but someone suddenly placed a powerful substance over my face and my eyes was blindfolded, I struggled to wiggle free but he or they were too strong for me. I couldn't breathe well, I couldn't see and neither could I scream. The last thing I heard was Hector's voice screaming my name before darkness took over...
NARRATIVE
*Hayley's Comprehensive School*
"Yes Miss! The dismissal bell just rang out now...yeah she's upstairs...okay...we'll go get her now...yes Miss Saline." Antonio said and the call ended. He turned to his companions.
"Miss Saline wants us to bring Miss Alexis home right away. We have to protect her from any impending danger." He said and the others nodded in understanding as they walked out from under the stair.
"We should head upstairs then." One said and as they made their way, what they didn't notice were the shadows of several goons, looming around them carefully and expertly.

"Roger that Boss." Scorpion said from his hideout at the rooftop. The call ended and he pocketed his phone and peered into his binoculars at the two kids hugging each other.
Soon he noticed the girl they wanted walking down the hallway and immediately alerted his boys through the communicating device in his left ear.
"The kid's coming. You better get to work and don't you dare make any mistake." He said.

The unsuspecting guards were about climbing the stairs when their necks were injected all at once by the goons and they immediately fell into unconsciousness. The exact effect of the powerful drug given to them by their boss.
"Be fast about it dummies, the CCTV camera will become active again in three minutes. Get rid of their bodies already, she's approaching." Scorpion yelled to them as he was watching them from his laptop.
The goons dragged and lifted the bodies away and dumped them in a large open restroom close by.
"The rest of you go get the car, I and Morris will get the kid." The second in command said to them and they dispersed quickly, taking the secret route they had used to break-in the school.
Morris and the other hid behind a wall and watched the young pretty girl walked down the stairs to find her guards weren't there anymore. Immediately she turned around with her back facing them, their leader yelled at them.
"Do it now, quickly. We've got an approaching boy."
They quickly stepped behind her, Morris blindfolded her eyes and the other forcefully made her inhale the substance on his hanky. He smirked when he noticed the effect of his action on her and just as she drifted into unconsciousness, they heard a little boy shout as he ran down the stairs.
"Alexis you left your..."
"Quickly, get into the car." One of them said as they hurriedly opened the black Jeep's door. Morris and the other ran into the car with the unconscious kid on their laps. They quickly zoomed off.
Scorpion watched them from his hideout and smirked.
"It's done Boss." He said Into his phone.
"Good. I know I can always count on you. Call me when she's in the chopper, I'll meet you at the location shortly." She said.
"Yes Boss." He said before skillfully disappearing from his hideout.
HECTOR'S POV
I ran down the hallway immediately I realized Alex left her water bottle in my bag during lunch break. As soon as I reached the bottom of the stairs, I shouted.
"Alexis, you left your..." My intended sentence was cutted short when my eyes beheld my dearest friend blindfolded and looking unconscious as she was being taken into a car by unknown goons. I stood there, dumbstrucked and bewildered as my feet grew weak.
I soon knocked myself out of it realizing what it means. Alexis is being kidnapped.
I ran down completely and stared after the speeding car in confusion, my eyes and brain did one thing. It quickly memorized the plate number of the vehicle. They took a strange route I never knew was there till now.
How could they easily kidnap someone in a school as this? Where are her bodyguards? I looked around but couldn't find them. I looked at the direction of the public restroom and spotted a male leg from the open door.
I immediately ran there, all her guards lay down there unconscious. What in the world happened?! I looked around and spotted Antonio squeezed up very closely to the lavatory. This place stinks badly!! I twitched my nose in disgust as I walked to him. I slapped him hard on the face to wake him up but it seems my little palm can't have much effect on such a well trained muscular man. I tried again but it was futile, seems the substance or whatever they took in was very strong. I sighed and ran out of the place into the open. I looked around in confusion wondering what to do.
"Young Master, your father awaits your return at home." One of my guards said as he walked by. I looked at him sadly.
"Sir Hector, is everything alright?" He asked worriedly walking over to me Immediately. I shook my head negatively just as an idea occurred to me.
"Can you take me to the DSD girls home, my best friend has been kidnapped." I said and he looked at me blankly.
"Sir Hector, you shouldn't joke around with su..." He trailed off, seems he saw a leg too. I watched him walk to the lavatory and I sighed wondering why someone will want to harm a kid as Alexis.
I looked down and looked away. Wait, what did I just see. I looked down again and gasped at the image on the floor before me.
I crouch down and picked it up.
Alexis dropped her bracelet...
