The next day, Stacy was still on cloud nine after her date with Axel. She couldn't stop thinking about him and the way he made her feel. She had never felt such a strong connection with someone before, and she couldn't wait to see him again.

But as she walked into school, she was quickly brought back down to reality. Kaitlyn was standing by her locker, a smug look on her face.

"Well, well, well," Kaitlyn said, raising an eyebrow. "Look who's finally got a boyfriend."

Stacy rolled her eyes, trying to ignore Kaitlyn's jab. But Kaitlyn just kept going.

"I hear Axel's really into you," Kaitlyn said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "But let's be real, Stacy. You're not exactly his type."

Stacy felt a surge of anger, but she tried to keep her cool. She knew that Kaitlyn was just trying to get under her skin.

"I don't know what you're talking about, Kaitlyn," Stacy said, shrugging her shoulders.

Kaitlyn laughed. "Oh, come on, Stacy. Don't play dumb. You know exactly what I'm talking about."

Just then, Axel appeared out of nowhere, a fierce look on his face.

"Kaitlyn, leave her alone," he said, his voice firm.

Kaitlyn smirked, but she backed off, disappearing into the crowd.

Axel turned to Stacy, concern etched on his face. "Are you okay?" he asked.

Stacy nodded, feeling grateful for Axel's protection. "Yeah, I'm fine," she said.

Axel smiled, relief written all over his face. "Good," he said. "I don't want anything to happen to you."

As they walked to their lockers, Stacy couldn't help but feel grateful for Axel. He was always there for her, protecting her from Kaitlyn's drama.

But as they were switching out their books, Madeleine appeared, a worried look on her face.

"Stacy, I need to talk to you," Madeleine said, glancing nervously at Axel.

Stacy raised an eyebrow, wondering what was going on. "What's up, Madeleine?" she asked.

Madeleine hesitated before speaking. "It's just...I saw Kaitlyn talking to Alexis earlier," she said. "And they looked like they were plotting something."

Stacy's eyes widened with concern. What were Kaitlyn and Alexis up to?

Axel's expression turned grim. "I'll take care of it," he said. "Don't worry, Stacy."

But Stacy couldn't shake off the feeling of unease. She knew that Kaitlyn and Alexis were capable of anything.

As they walked to their next class, Stacy couldn't help but wonder what Kaitlyn and Alexis were planning. She knew that she had to be careful, but she also knew that she couldn't let Kaitlyn's drama get her down.

Axel seemed to sense her unease, and he put a reassuring arm around her shoulders. "Don't worry, Stacy," he said. "I've got your back."

Stacy smiled, feeling grateful for Axel's support. She knew that she could count on him, no matter what.

But as they walked into their next class, Stacy couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off. She knew that Kaitlyn and Alexis were up to something, and she was determined to find out what it was.

As the day went on, Stacy found herself on high alert, waiting for Kaitlyn and Alexis to make their next move. She knew that she had to be careful, but she also knew that she couldn't let Kaitlyn's drama get her down.

Axel seemed to sense her unease, and he stuck close to her throughout the day. Stacy felt grateful for his support, and she knew that she could count on him, no matter what.

But as the final bell rang, signaling the end of the school day, Stacy couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off. She knew that Kaitlyn and Alexis were up to something, and she was determined to find out what it was.

As she walked out of the school building, Stacy was confronted with a surprise. Kaitlyn and Alexis were standing by the entrance, smug looks on their faces.

"Well, well, well," Kaitlyn said, raising an eyebrow. "Look who's finally figured out that we're onto her."

Stacy's eyes narrowed, her heart racing with anticipation. What were Kaitlyn and Alexis up to?

But before she could react, Axel appeared out of nowhere, a fierce look on his face.

"Kaitlyn, Alexis, leave her alone," he said, his voice firm.

Kaitlyn and Alexis smirked, but they backed off, disappearing into the crowd.
