The match was a failure.

After being seriously dragged out by Roxie to school on Friday evening, our school lost.

Ashton High 0 - 3 Lenville High.

Not even a single goal was scored.

Our team might have lost a few times but it was never this bad.

Even the match as a whole was stale, our ball possession was low.

The whole team was bad but Daniel was worse.

Being the captain, one of the best players and number one striker of the team, it felt like it was just an imposter putting on his jersey.

I mean, he lost a penalty...

Daniel always scores a penalty kick!

It's not like I was stalking or anything but I'll always notice his eyes going to a certain direction on the stadium and with each glance, his performance always degraded.

Something was wrong.

The match was over as soon as the referee blew the final whistle leading to a wild celebration from Lenville High and absolutely nothing from the other side.

We played home and and still failed. It's horrible.

Our players walked out of the field leaving the other team to their celebration.

"This match is so annoying!" Roxie screeched, throwing her left over popcorn to the field which was still buzzing with joy of victory.

"Yeah, even the passes weren't accurate, nothing was right," Maddie continued loudly and unluckily for me, I was in the middle of all their ranting.

I didn't want to be so close with Maddie but I just had to accept the fact that her and Roxie are friends now.

"I want to use the bathroom, I'll be real quick," I said to the both of them, standing up immediately.

"Be really quick, we need to leave as soon as possible," Roxie informed.

"Yeah. Ofcourse I'll be, I'm just going to pee, it isn't like I'm going to give birth," I retorted.

"Just saying, if you waste so much time, I'll go drag your ass out personally," she threatened.

"Yeah..whatever," I muttered, standing up and heading out of the field, into the school building to the female bathroom.

I remember when I couldn't even think of going in, but now, I think I would be able to move on.

On my way, the hallway was a bit empty and I made my way through it anyways.

I started hearing noises, mostly male voices from afar and I knew that it would be coming from their locker room, where they had to freshen up, change, and in this case, argue and criticise one another for their failure.

But then I heard a certain loud voice, it wasn't just in a form of loud mummurings. It was really clear.

"You can't just say that!" I heard a familiar voice shout.

"Don't raise your voice at me! And yes, I can say and do whatever I want to! You have no right over me!" I heard a very familiar voice shout back.

It was a feminine voice.

It was Cheryl's voice and I recognized the former as Daniel's.

"You're making me crazy! What did I ever do wrong? I literally did every damn thing you wanted. How can you make me feel this way just to shatter me like this," he continued.

Is this Daniel speaking?

"And I don't give a fuck, you well deserve it. I remember clearly. Those days I could die for you, you were like a god in my eyes, a prince charming, like that perfect guy every girl...every nerd would ever want. But then what? You treat me like trash, like I'm not a girl worthy of anything, you make me want to hate myself more. All those little feelings had to fade away but they just had to be converted to hate. I hate you so much Daniel Orlando. From the very start. And all I wanted was to see you break. Hurt like you're hurting right now," she spat.

"Wow...that was all a little plan all along. Right. In that case, you've won. I can't think straight without you anymore..I can't do anything right because my mind is filled up with thoughts of you. I think I'm going crazy right now. Even after hearing this from you, I can't still hold back....Cheryl...what did you do to me?"

"Simple...what you do to every other girl you come across. You just had a little taste of your own medicine," she said.

I peeped through the corner of the wall as the both of them argued in the empty hallway, not so far away from the boys lockers room.

"Cheryl...please. Just--"

"Please leave me the hell alone. I've got nothing more to say to you or do with you. We're over! Over! I made it clear like two weeks ago! Get it into your head and stop calling or spamming me with your stupid messages. If you want to cry your eyes out, get wasted or whatever, you're free to do that! Just leave me the hell alone!" Cheryl shouted, turning to leave when Daniel forcefully yanked her back by her wrist.

"And you think I'll let you go...just like that!"

"Daniel...leave me! You're hurting me!" She yelled.

"I know...infact that's exactly what I'm planning to do. To hurt you. Hurt you in ways you'll never forget," he said, pinning her hands behind her and started sucking her sensitive spot roughly.

"I'll make you pay," he continued.

A shiver ran down my spine as I watched her fight hopelessly for her feeedom.

There was no way she could outpower him, Daniel was way stronger.

She reminded me of me and Daniel was Lan in this case. Right in the hallway when he tried to assult me.

No girl deserves it. Even Cheryl.

I didn't know what to do, didn't know where to start.

"Luke!" He shouted, still holding Cheryl in position.

Luke came out from the boy's locker room a few moments later, clad in just shorts.

"Whatsupp," he said, when he got to them.

"I think we'll have a little fun tonight after our loss," Daniel replied with a creepy grin on his face.

Did he just say 'we'?

"Her?" Luke asked with squinted eyes, checking Cheryl out from up to down.

"Yeah...why not, let's just call it a little punishment," he replied and with the help of Luke, they started dragging Cheryl into the locker room as she fought to get loose of their grip.

Her screams now in muffles as her mouth were already covered.

Do something. Stella do something!

The school premises was almost empty, how will I find help, it was until I get to the field that I'll be able to get someone.

Should I call Timothy, maybe he's nearby.

I felt like time was running up every second that passes by as I fumbled with my phone in my hands.

Just then, I felt someone's hand on my shoulder. I got startled immediately and I turned to see it was just Roxie and Maddie.

I let out a breathe I didn't even know I'd been holding.

"Whats wrong with you, we've been waiting," Roxie started.

"I'm so glad you two are here, it's Cheryl, she was taken forcefully into the boy's locker room, only God knows what they'll do to her," I blurted.

"Then isn't that cool with you, she deserves it by the way for being a bitch," Roxie replied immediately.

"What are you saying? No one deserves this. No girl. Not even Cheryl," I argued.

"I thought you wanted your revenge."

"Even if I did, not like this. Please let's do something about this before it's too late," I pleaded.

"Stella. I'm in a hurry, okay? I can't waste my time like this, you've wasted my time enough...and now, this?" She replied.

What the hell is wrong with her?

"That's what you're going to say, huh? Someone's life may get ruined any minute from now and all you care about is not being late for that stupid date you have with Lan tonight, or maybe you think I wouldn't find out. You know, seriously, I thought you were better than this. How can you not care about this but you know how bad it can be, how will you feel if it were your own sister in there. Tell me?" I sparked.

"You know what, I guess I will just do it myself. I know it's really risky to do this alone but atleast, it's way better than doing nothing," I continued before walking quickly towards the boy's locker room.

I know I didn't make a perfect choice but I'm sure God understands that I have good intentions...
