Chapter 29
Leigh-Ann’s POV
I walked into the hallway which was crowded with students who dragged over something I don’t know about but then, I tried getting to Ariana.
She has been a friend but one thing is that she’s crushing on Stiles who of course told me he liked someone else. This love stuff is sometimes heartbreaking especially when you get to love someone who doesn’t love you in return. So sad right?
“Hey, what’s the fuss about?” I half yelled so Ariana could hear me. She was also in the midst of the crowd and damn, it was so noisy.
“I heard there’s gonna be an important but friendly game,” Ariana yelled back. “Folks say there was a cheat in the selection of new students into the different gangs so corrections are needed”
Oh really? I rolled my eyes at the news and looked around.
Is that why everywhere was noisy?
“The two gangs are gonna compete in a game of basketball. The correction is for the Black Ass Gang. If they get to win, they’re gonna choose any fresher from the Bleeding Daggers but if they don’t, the Bleeding Daggers will pick someone for them”
“Okay, whatever” I muttered and made to walk off but she held me back.
“I don’t know, Leigh but I’ve got a very bad feeling about this”

“Yes Ma’am” She answered with a bow. I smirked and looked at the pictures. The boys have grown so handsome over the years, oh what a treasure.
But one thing was for sure. No one can stop me now and I’ll make sure they all fall dead at my feet.
“Mum, what’s the plan?” That question got me beaming with smiles.
“We’ll attack the weakest link and from him, we’ll get the rest of the brothers”

Leigh-Ann’s POV
After lunch, I walked into the class and met everywhere, noisy. Today has been a hell of a noisy day as everyone talked about the upcoming game. Others even made bets with lots of money but damn, rich kids could be something else.
I walked over to my seat and sat down. Well, if you’re wondering, I’m not so interested in the game or whatever. I’ve never really been a fan of sports although my dad was one time a football coach.
“The game’s about to kick off,” Ariana said and came to stand in front of my desk. Gosh, she’s been talking about this game and it’s now annoying.
“I’m not interested”
“Hello? You don’t have a choice. You’ve gotta cheer your team up”
“What team? I don’t have a team” She rolled her eyes and then placed her hands on her waist.
“Okay, whatever, you don’t have a team but you were being picked by the Bleeding Daggers” Holy moly! Hearing all these gang lectures from her sucks.
“After the initiation on Friday, you’re gonna be a full-time member of the gang but for now, you’ve gotta cheer them up” She added.

We arrived at the basketball court which was filled up with lots of students and I must confess I’ve never seen a place this crowded.
We managed our way through the crowd and tried to find a place to sit. The game had not yet started but I could see Daggers kissing Ceeara in a corner. Jeez! Those two don’t know a thing about self-control.
I turned and saw Quavo with other boys down the court and figured they were his team members.
“This school is made up of two teams which could also be called two divisions of the school. Aside from all these gang shits, these two gangs are also two teams, groups, whatever that compete against the other. So now you understand what I meant” Ariana said and turned to look at me. I didn’t respond but just looked down at the court where the two teams were. Humph! What a game.
We finally found two seats and helped ourselves to them. Surprisingly, I found students holding different posters to support their team.
“God! I love you Quavo!” A guy yelled and blew kisses.
Are you kidding me? I looked from him to Quavo and shook my head slightly. The court was down there and he was up here yelling at someone who barely heard him.
Finally, the game started and the two teams played perfectly. I don’t know but deep inside, I prayed my team won. Whenever each team made a point, the members cheered in celebration. I just couldn’t wait for the game to be over cause I felt so damn bored already. Didn’t know basketball could bore me so much.
After the first round, The Bleeding Daggers were up with seventeen points while The Black Ass got Fifteen.
“Let’s make this game funnier, shall we?” Ceeara yelled while the students cheered.
“Leigh-Annie!” She called out, startling me. Huh? Was she calling me?
“Oh God, she’s calling you Leigh” Ariana panicked and turned to look at me.
“Come on Annie, don’t keep us waiting” Ceeara called out again from down the court as everyone turned around, searching for who she was calling. Leigh-Annie, Annie, those were sure not my name.
“Okay, you don’t wanna come out huh? Why don’t we call the girl with the ash hair!”
Students looked around and finally, the ones sitting near me began pointing at me and yelling for me to step out while others came to drag me out. What the hell is she up to? Finally, we got to the court and the students began cheering. Holy shit, damn you Ceeara!
“Oh baby, she was really scared of coming out” Ceeara mocked while the students roared in laughter. I felt so nervous and for a moment, I dreaded having ash-colored hair that no one had. It made it easy for anyone to identify me.
“So now, let’s make a dare guys, shall we?” Ceeara asked while everyone cheered.
Why me? Why always me? What have I ever done to these people?
“Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!” Came boldly from everywhere in the court.
“Okay guys, Kiss!” Ceeara finalized and everyone cheered. “Beautiful Leigh-Annie. You’ll have to kiss the Black Ass Gang leader if they win the game”
What??? Are you… is she kidding me right now?
“Let’s make it more friendly, shall we?” Daggers spoke up coldly as his eyes moved over my body “If we win…” He said and paused. Everyone remained quiet, awaiting his judgment.
“You strip!”
