Darius walked into the large campus, taking in the grandiose marble interior that pompously represented the wealthy student body. He rubbed his stomach where the girl from earlier had kneed thanks to the kind Queen Bee's "recommendation". She seemed to be in good shape to be ordering people around and planning schemes again.
Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted Damien nervously pacing around with his phone in his hand. The king had just lost his queen...and the spot was in the open for the starving girls to pounce upon. Just as he was about to head over, a girl suddenly linked arms with him. He couldn't remember her name or face, but it was assumable that he had played around with her at a party at some point.
"Darius Simakov...I don't expect you to remember me, but I need you to help me." Darius stared at the girl with utter confusion, as he tried to pull his arm away.
She grasped his arm with desperation. "I know that I have no right to say this...but the girl that Mason loves...Thea...she's nothing but poison. It's been only three days, but there are rumors already that she slept with the Italian boy."
Darius froze. He finally recognized the girl as Bailey Blackwell, the infamous fiancee of Mason.
But the rumor she spoke of...he shook his head, trying to laugh it off.
"I need you to stop her from coming after Mason. A girl like her will only tarnish his name," she murmured, as she brushed hair out of her face. "I may not be the person he loves, but I still need to care for his name. You know her the best."
Darius flung his arm away, his eyes turning cold. "I don't think you happen to understand, but she and I are not in any sort of relationsh-"
Bailey took her phone out, and shoved a picture in his face. "I saw you that night," she whispered. "You care for her, don't you? Then stop her from destroying Mason's bright future. I will do anything to protect my family's name."
"A true aristocrat," Darius chuckled, as he icily yanked the phone away from her hands and deleted the picture. "Putting your bloodline before anyone else. But...her life is not any of my business, and you should probably start looking down your own path instead of hanging on to Mason's."
He turned to walk away, to see Adrian walking down the hallway with his arm wrapped around Thea's waist.
