Introduction

    Shouts echoed along the corridor's balcony, mingled with pitiful cries, voices of restraint, and accusations. These sounds attracted onlookers to the scene of ‘Luciana Clarence’, the girl obsessed with men, furiously grappling with the delicate figure of ‘Angela Exeen’, the school's heart and soul, beautiful both inside and out. The cause of their quarrel was all too familiar; Luciana was jealous of the school's most sought-after boys gravitating towards Angela. Indeed, between Luciana and Angela, the choice was obvious to everyone. Though both were equally beautiful, Angela's personality triumphed overwhelmingly. Friends of Angela tried to extricate her from Luciana’s claws, pulling and tugging back and forth.

    "Enough already, Luciana! Let go of Angie," commanded one of the school's most desirable boys, the Student Council President, as he made his way through the crowd. It wasn't the first time Luciana had caused trouble with the girls close to the school's heartthrobs, much to everyone's exhaustion.

    "So, Mr. President, you're close enough to call Angela 'Angie' now? And yet, you won't call Luciana 'Lucy'?"

    "Who's close to you?"

    "Then, let’s get close! Lucy wants to be closer to you," the President rolled his eyes wearily as he forcefully grabbed Luciana’s arm, causing her to yelp and release Angela. The President's grip turned Luciana’s arm red, which he then flung away, expressing concern for Angela's bruised arm. Seeing this, Lucy became furious and grabbed the president's arm that was holding Angela's, pulling it away and replacing it with hers, leading to a scuffle between her and the President instead.

    "The chaos never ends, huh, Dale?"

    “Yeah,”

    Remarked one of the two teen idol onlookers who were watching the drama indifferently. Soon, the Crown Prince joined the fray, providing Lucy an opportunity to flatter and complain which annoyed the girls, and escalated into a massive quarrel.

    "This is getting serious," Ion noted.

    "Want to join in?" Dale turned to ask his duo, but Ion shook his head in response. Before anyone realized, the president got so angry that he shook off Lucy's hand forcefully, causing her delicate body to sway dangerously. The crown prince reached out to grab her arm but was too late! Lucy fell backward down the stairs, hitting her head hard on the floor, causing blood to flow and leaving everyone in shock, unable to respond.

"Damn it!" Ion exclaimed loudly, snapping everyone back to reality. The Crown Prince and the President almost leaped toward Lucy’s aid, with the Prince carrying her to the medical room and the President following closely, annoyed yet unwilling to see her hurt like this.
