Charli's POV
As we were hugging and laughing, we hear slow clapping.

I look, or should I say 'we', look towards my balcony, and see Rascal.

"Congrats to the new couple" Rascal compliments

"Go away" Ulric complains

"No, I don't think so" Rascal says

"My room, my rules, and in case you haven't noticed, RASCAL, the balcony is part OF my room. So . . . LEAVE!"

"Fine. But, before I do, I want to make a deal"

"Why?"

"Because. I consider myself generous, and besides, I want something to do."

Ulric seemed to be considering the idea, and I seemed to have already considered it.

"Do you want to hear it" I ask Ulric

"Why not"

"Name the deal, Rascal"

He seemed to smirk when I motioned for him to speak the deal.

"We promise to stop attacking you, in exchange for Ulric"

Ulric and I looked at each other with confusion.

"This doesn't seem clean to me" I say

"What are talking about, dear?" Rascal flirts

"First of all, don't think about flirting with me again, and second, why should we believe that the deal will be kept"

"Are you trying to argue with me?"

"No, but all I'm asking is, why should we believe that the deal will be kept?"

"So, I'm sensing it's a No"

"What do you think Ulric?"

"It's definitely a No"

"Bad mistake"

Rascal said before he disappeared in a cloud of playing cards.

"What do you think he's up to?" I ask

"Nothing good I'm guessing" Ulric replied

After Ulric said that, I go for my phone, and text my friends in the group chat we made. I tell them to all come to my place immediately.
