【 CANDICE LERAE' s POINT OF VIEW 】

Johnny was really acting weird since morning. He keeps grinning then laughing minutes later and when I asked him about it, he just shrugged off like it was nothing.

Anyway, today is a very special day! It's my birthday!!! and you know what that means? FOODS, CELEBRATION, GIFTS, GAMES AND MY FAVORITE, SINGING, AND DANCING!

I invited a few classmates to celebrate with me later. Like Matt Riddle, The Velveteen Dream, Rhea Ripley, Toni Storm, Bianca Belair, and others. Our class ended just a while ago and I'm waiting for Johnny. Tommaso was nowhere to be found. Maybe he already went home?

"Hurry Johnny! My mom texted me saying everything was prepared already." I said while I stared at my phone.

Johnny is still busy erasing the board, I don't know why he always doing that but it's an everyday routine. He's now wiping the teacher's table, "I'm almost done but wait for me."

I think he's murmuring something but I just couldn't hear what it was. I just smiled at him and nodded, "Fine, I'll wait here."

I was surprised to see a familiar face smiling while walking towards me.

"Hey Candice, Can you help me with something for a sec?"

"Huh? But I'm waiting for for.....S-s-ure! Let's go, Adam?" I said and we started walking.

I think Johnny can wait. I mean, Adam said it won't take long. But two minutes later and we're still walking in the hallway.

"Where are we going?"

"Just follow me," Adam stated quietly as we entered the auditorium.

I was about to text Johnny where I was when Adam suddenly speak, "Do you know why I transferred here?"

I raised my brows at him and I'm curious what's face he's making at the moment.

"I thought my life would be perfect when I went to this place but not until I met you. You're a hindrance to my plan, Candice Lerae."

"I...don't understand," I answered. Why's Adam acting weird all of a sudden? First Johnny and now Adam. What's wrong with them?

I was shocked when suddenly the door of the auditorium is locked. There I saw Kyle O'Reilly wearing a mask on his face.

"What's going on?" I asked cluelessly and then Adam wickedly laugh.

"You're so naive, Candice. I just invited you here. A stranger invited you and you have the guts to follow them?"

"But you're not a stranger."

"Do you even know me aside from my name and little personality that I'm showing everyone?"

"Adam, what's wrong with you? Are you sick? What games are you playing? You know it's not funny anymore, right?"

I turned my head around when I heard a clap behind me, "Finally! Candice grows some brain cells! It's about time!" Roderick exclaimed.

"Do you really think that Adam Cole would befriend you? He just used your kindness to lure you here." Bobby Fish interjected himself.

I immediately ran towards the auditorium door and shout with my heart's out

"HELP ME!"I shouted as I keep opening the locked door. But to no avail, it was locked.

It's just not Adam Cole that acting weird but the Undisputed Bullies as well. I don't know what's wrong with them but I have a bad feeling about this.

"No one can save you now!" Kyle laughed.

"JOHNNYYYYYYYY!"

"Do you really think your childhood friend would help you? He's selfish! He's a tick head! He doesn't care about you and your feelings! He only cares about his studies and himself! He's not a real friend!" Adam started as he keeps listing what he doesn't like about Johnny.

"Don't talkshit Johnny!" I yelled at his face.

"Hey you shut up or I'll kill you right here right now!" Adam Cole pointed at me.

Is he acting? He's really a bad actor if he was. Suddenly, Kyle and Bobby dragged me by the hair and tied me in a chair.

Adam Cole talks about his sad childhood while putting duct tape on my mouth, "There you go, to stop you from screaming. You're so noisy!" He even patted my head like ruffling a dog's hair.

"Mmmmmm" I tried to make some noise but I don't think anyone would hear me. Am I going to die here? He's not going to hide my body and throw it into the sea. What if no one finds out?

I stop struggling as I keep staring at them. They're playing games on their phone when Adam Cole kicked them at their stomach.

"STOP THAT!" He 'attempted' to whisper but I heard him loud and clear. Are they playing games and I'm the victim here? I'm so confused.

When suddenly the door was opened and it revealed a masked man holding a fire extinguisher.

"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?!" Roderick asked in panicked.

"That's no longer important, I'm just here to save Candice by your hands." He stated and man, he's cool in my eyes.

Kyle delivered a punch but the man dodge and delivered a high knee. Roderick suddenly hit him with pump handle backbreaker. The man fell on the floor and Adam Cole started punching his face.

The man countered his attack and do a multiple german suplex at Adam. Serves him right!

Bobby and Kyle did a double tag team and the mask suddenly fell revealing his face. Oh my!

"YOU SHIT! THAT FUCKING HURTS!" Adam Cole complained as he commanded his companions, "HOLD HIM!"

The three obliged and held Tommaso. "You always meddling with my affairs, Tommaso Ciampa! Beat him up until he drops dead!" Adam stated as he keeps massaging his head.

"But that was not in the script, Adam." Bobby complained in a low voice.

"What do you mean that's not on the script? My head hurts from his german suplex!!!" Adam shouted.

"HEY HEY! He's bleeding! What are we going to do now?" Roderick panicked.

"SSSH! Lower your voice, Candice is here." Kyle shushed at them.

The four looked up on the second floor. Why? I tried to peek but no one's in there. Weird.

Tommaso suddenly stood up on his feet and grabbed Kyle as he powerbomb him on the ground. Roddy suddenly hit him when Tommaso delivered a Fairy Tale ending at him. Oh, that hurts! Bobby angrily kicked him but Tommaso mercilessly attacked him with a vicious neck breaker. Adam couldn't believe what he's witnessing as Tommaso approached him and decided to used Cloverleaf against him.

"IT HURTS!!! STOP IT NOOOOOO!" Adam screamed in agony, keep tapping on the floor.

Tommaso released him as he walks towards me, slowly. He removed the tape from my mouth and untied the ropes.

"A-Are you okay?" He asked me, concerned filled his voice.

This man really asked me if I'm alright when he's right there bleeding and holding his stomach.

I hugged him lightly as I muttered, "Thank you. You're my hero!" I exclaimed.

I was surprised when the four on the floor ran towards us and I close my eyes.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!" They exclaimed loudly, throwing up confetti. I reluctantly open my eyes and was surprised to see Johnny in front of me holding a cake.

"Make a wish." Johnny smiled and I closed my eyes, make a wish and blows the candles.

The Undisputed Bullies and Tommaso clapped their hands, as they started cheering. I laughed and asked them, "Did you plan this all?"

"How's our acting?" Adam excitedly asked. "I'm not amazed by your acting, Adam. But I give the three a passing grade."

I saw Kyle, Roderick and Bobby high five each other as Adam frowned.

"Will you come to my party at home?" I asked them.

"Yeah! Free food!" Bobby and Kyle cheered.

"Is it alright if we don't have gifts?" Roddy frowned.

"Who cares about that! We're invited!" Adam exclaimed. "Let's go boys!"

The four already walk in front of us as I give a hug to Johnny and Tommaso, "Thank you! This is the best birthday present I could ever have!"

When we arrived at my house, the four immediately run inside like they own the place. I walked towards the ref to picked up some ice packs and give it to Tommaso.

Johnny placed the cake on the dining table and says he'll check the four and he left the two of us.

"Hey Tommaso, it's such a great idea! Do you know that I love action movies and scream whenever there are bad boys around?" I said and Tommaso just smiled.

"Was it your idea?" I asked. He just stared at me like he's thinking what he's about to say. He opens his mouth but then closes it again.

"Come' on. Don't be shy about it." I elbowed him, wiggling my brows.

"Uh...it was.....it was Johnny's idea." He answered with a sigh.

I couldn't help but smile as the thought that Johnny would do something like this for me. No wonder he's being weird to me this morning.
