chapter 21

Jackson Drake

Tonight is payback time and I want her to remember this forever. Dane and Ace won't be able to go here and watch this prank personally because I asked them to do something, so they helped me set up the cameras to film what will happen. Besides, I want to capture every detail of this prank so that I can watch it whenever I want to.

I am not planning to post it on any of my social media accouts. I just want to see her reaction. I promised to make her life in this university a little exciting before I kick her out.

I could not help but get enraged every time I remember what she had done to me. She had the guts to talk back and use my goddamn chair. Now, she will be needing that same courage again or else, she will easily be defeated. Poor girl, she has to suffer and that is all because of her stupidity.

If only she had not touched my things, then she will never have to experience this. I pity her but I will not show her mercy. She dared to mess with me and now, she has to live with dread while she is studying in this university.

I will never stop bothering her until she leaves or maybe, I will wait until she begs me to stop bothering her but that will never happen because I will not stop until she gives up. All she can do for now is to prepare herself because I have plenty of pranks in my head and I will do it one by one until she finally decides to leave this university. This will be fun!

I am planning to scare her to death until she falls into the pool. I want to see her go home drenched. It is quite chilly outside and I bet, she will surely catch a cold or fever and maybe, both. That would be good for her!

I am hidden behind a corner in the university's natatorium but I can still see the pool area. I hired around ten people to carry out this prank. They are all dressed up like zombies and they look so realistic, just like how I want them to be. In fact, they even rehearsed walking and groaning like zombies. They are here with me waiting for her arrival and my cue.

Honestly, I am starting to get impatient. Forty minutes have passed since I called her and she is not yet here. I wonder what is taking her too long to get here?

"Boss, is she coming?" One of my men asked and I could not help but worry.

This prank can't fail! She has to come! These men will surely think that I am a fool if she will not come. I do not want that to happen. I do not also want to look like a fool. She has to come!

"Shut up! I'm not paying you to question me, more so complain!" I snapped at him as I glared at him.

"But it's-" I cut him off.

"If you don't want the money, just leave! I don't need you anyway!" I bawled at him.

"I'm sorry boss, I need the money." He said and I did not reply anymore.

Will she come she? Maybe, she will not come. Perhaps, she thought that this is not that serious. Oh, come on, Drake! Of course, she will come! The way she reacted when you mentioned her friends is a freaking assurance. She was so agitated and she sounded determined to rescue her friends because she cares a lot for them.

Right! I have nothing to worry about. She will definitely come. I am sure of it.

A few minutes later, I heard footsteps. At last, she is here! I saw her placed her backpack on one of the benches and she seems surprised to see no one but then she called out.

"Let go of my friends Drake!"

"Hey! Why don't you come out?! Let go of them!"

I will let her rant first until she gets a little tired and then I will let these zombies attack her. Oh! I can't wait to let these men scare her.

"Why don't you come out now and show me how ruthless you are! You, jerk!"

"Are backing out now? Come on! Come out already!"

"I won't let you hurt my friends! Do what you want to do with me just don't lay a finger on my friends!"

"Bastard! Why don't you come out already?!"

"Show yourself, scumbag! Don't just hide there! Show yourself, bastard!"

"Didn't you want to drown me?! Come out and do it now! Just let go of my friends!"

"My friends are taking care of your friends." I replied and I chuckled lightly.

I know she heard me but she can't see me. It is true, my friends are taking care of her friends. I do not know what they are doing tonight but I will surely know it tomorrow. For now, I will just focus on her.

"Bastard! If you want to play, just deal with me alone, don't involve my friends! You're angry with me, right? I was the one who angered you so put all the blame on me. I will accept whatever prank you want to play just don't involve my friends!" She snarled.

I can't help but laugh at her. I did not reply and I just let her talk. She really cares a lot for her friends. I badly want to show her what I have got but I want to piss her off a little more.

'Wait until the perfect timing comes, dimwit!' I said internally.

"Come out Drake! Just show yourself up already! Can't we just settle this fight? I don't want any trouble. All I want is a peaceful life. I hope you agree with me, I'll do whatever you want me to do, just- just stop this game of yours."

"You have a peaceful life until you ruined it yourself. You started the game, Louella. All you can do is to play and win, if you can. I doubt you can, because I'll never let you win." I replied and I chuckled.

She dared to mess up with me. Now, she has to deal with me. Poor girl, she had to deal with a devil, a ruthless, clever devil.

"Let's just settle this Drake, I'll do whatever you want me to do." She replied and I laughed again.

"Didn't you want to see how ruthless I am? I'm just giving you what you wanted." I answered.

"How could you be this heartless Drake? Can't you be more reasonable?!" She spoke up as she looked around.

She is obviously trying to find me and she is pissing me off. I am heartless but I am reasonable. Although I want to consider her proposal, give her cease-fire and then she would do whatever I ask her to do. I think, it would be nice if I will torture them first and then I will agree with her proposal.

"This is what a heartless person could do." I said and then I asked one of my men to turn off the lights signaling my zombielike men to come out and scare her.

I gave them enough time to surround her and I heard Louella shouted.

"You jerk! What exactly do you want to happen huh?!"

"I want to amuse myself a little." I said and then I smirked.

And with that, I turned on the lights and then my men started to approach her. She was stunned for a moment but then she started screaming as my men came closer to her.

"Will you please stop this now Drake?!"

"Come on, you have to stop this now!"

"Can't you see, I'm already scared. Aren't you happy now?!"

"Take them away from me Drake, please!"

"Take them away from me, I'm begging you."

"Drake, please! I'm begging you!"

"Pease! Take them away from me, Drake! Please!"

She is screaming with her eyes closed and I could not help but laugh out loud. She looks so scared, flustered and dumbfounded at the same time. I have never laughed so hard in my life, until this happened. I never thought that this will be so amusing. This is fun!

"Enjoy yourself, Louella. I'm just right here, watching you." I said and then I laughed.

She started backing away from my men and when she reached the poolside, she opened her eyes slowly. She is probably thinking if she will just jump into the pool or let those zombies come closer to her. Poor girl, she does not know that she will still go home drenched. If she will not jump then one of my men will surely push her into the pool just as I ordered them.

She closed her eyes again and she is not moving. I bet, she will not jump and if that would be the case, then she will still fall into the pool. She will not be able to escape this one.

"Don't push me into the pool. Please,  I don't know how to swim. Please." She pleaded but I did not stop them from doing it.

"Believe me, I really don't know how to swim so please, don't push me."

"Please, I'm begging you. Don't push-"

One of my men pushed her and then I heard a loud splash.
