Miss Popular ( She’s Everyone choice)

“Thanks a lot, I never regret making you guys my friend,” Kiles said.

“You should have gone ahead and hurt him,” Angela said.

“How dare you come here” Nicklaus yelled angrily.

“What do you mean?, this is not your hostel, this is a road that everyone passes, so why won’t I come to meet you guys, when I heard you talking about hurting my friend”Angela replied with an eye roll.

“I know you very well. You just like to involve in other’s businesses by turning yourself to Jesus Christ.

What’s your problem girl” Jack said and grab her by her hair.

“Let go of my hair, are you cr*zy” Angela yelled trying to release her hair from Jack.

“Yes I am cr*zy and mad because of your foolish behavior,” Jack said without leaving her hair.

“Let go of my hair. I promised Romeo won’t spare you, if he sees what you are doing right now, he will hit you badly and your life won’t be the same “Angela threatened.

“Stop threatening us, do you think we are scared of your lover boy. We are not scared of him. Not even a bit, who did he think he his, tell me, f*ck you and your Romeo” Jack said

“Common Jack, she’s a girl, you can’t handle her like that, because we are bad boy doesn’t mean we should raise our hands on girls.

You can warn her but don’t hurt her”Kiles said.

“No Kiles, why do you always stop us in everything, don’t do this, don’t do that, for how long is this going to continue.

we might have a problem if we continue like this, I don’t know why you always try to kill our vibe” Nicklaus said.

“Am talking about not raising hands-on girls, you are talking about the vibe, how does that correlate, is different.

We can’t vibe by raising hands on girls. We do bully them, that is okay, but we shouldn’t touch them at all” Kiles said.

“Disgusting, you just like to ruin everything.

And you, if you come closer to me again, I will kill you and dump your corpse in the pit. Get lost” Jack said angrily and released her hair.

“You shouldn’t have left me, you should have waited for Romeo, do you think Kiles is nice, no, that’s because he’s scared of Romeo, I can’t forget how he hit him hard that day. He can’t fight, that’s such a pity” Angela said and burst into laughter.

“I told you, you are giving this guy’s too much grace, first it was him and now she”Jack yelled and bite his teeth.

“Hey! Leave here now before I changed my mind, you won’t like me at all, am not nice and I also have a limit to how I can tolerate things.

So vacate this place right now” Kiles yelled.

“You should do whatever you have to do, all I know is that you must not try to hurt Romeo, if you make a move, I will deal with you,” Angela said and walked away angrily.

“Kiles you’ve changed, I don’t know what is your problem these days, you are the most desperate guy back then in high school.

You are brilliant but you are desperate, not like me, am a dullard, you are the one who always helped me with my exams, that’s why I am still in school.

I would have failed and would have dropped out, but you always helped me to write my exams without getting caught.

You do bully anyone not minding if there are girls or not, but now you seem to have changed, is this because you are in love with Pamela or what.

Because I can’t still understand when you became so nice?” Jack asked.

“You are right, I remember you were both beating up a guy when we met in this college back then.

The first day at school you guys beat up a guy. We had also done many things together.

You’ve been in love with this girl from the first day you set your eyes on her, but you aren’t this obsessed with her, So why now, I think your brain isn’t functioning well. Tell us what has come over you” Nicklaus said and hit himself on his forehead.

“So you guys want to start lecturing me what I have done in the past.

And do you call that obsession? No am in love with her and I can’t leave her for anyone, I will win her over in the right way, I will go to any length to make her mine.

That’s the fact, so you guys should cooperate with me, I need you both in this”Kiles said and join his two hands together in plead.

“Okay, but if being nice didn’t work for you, what will you do then?”Jack asked.

“Then I will try the other way, the other way of being a bad boy. I know am not good, am desperate.

But all I want is Pamela and I will make her mine no matter what, mark my word” Kiles said with an evil grin. He smiles wickedly.

Emery Mansion

Mr. and Mrs. Emery room

“Mum, why do you look so worried and pissed up”Cindy asked coming into her parent’s room.

“Why should I be happy, why shouldn’t I be worried. I am a selfish mother, I am a coward, I was scared of divorce and I couldn’t go and check on my son.

I gave birth to two children. Just two, but I am separated from one.

I told my friend today and she told me she was very disappointed in me. She told me she caused everything, and I make Romeo leave without informing her.

I thought Romeo would have dropped out of school and I didn’t even bother to go and check on him, I leave my twenty years old boy to suffer.

I leave him to leave alone when he needs us the most”Mrs. Emery said crying.

“Mum, why do you care about Romeo so much. I always feel like I am separated from this family.

Since Romeo was twenty, all your focus was on him. You gave him more attention than you gave me attention.

Even after he left, you are always with his picture. I feel like I don’t exist in this house, I hate him and if there’s any word to describe the hatred I have for him, I hate him, he disperses me a lot” Cindy said crying.

“He’s your brother, I didn’t divert my attention to him, I was trying to show him the right path. We never divert our attention to him. Your dad wants him to be a businessman and take over his empire in the future, that’s why we drag him closer to show him the business world.

He didn’t have an interest in it, we don’t want to force him, so we plan to make him have an interest in business by being calm with him. Nothing more”Mrs. Emery said holding Cindy’s hand.

“That’s a lie, You never for once asked me what I wanna become, you just pushed that course on me, do you think I want to be a doctor.

No, I don’t like that course at all. I have always dreamed to be a businesswoman like you are. But no one seems to care about me.

It was he who asked me what I wanted to become. When I told him, and he told you guys.

But I got scolded. Which means you love him than you love me. And that’s why I hate him.

Why would you love and care about him so much? You are trying to make his dream of being a businessman come true, but mine is nothing to you” Cindy said and ran to her room.

“Do you like being a businessman? “Juliet asked.

“Not at all, I don’t like business at all, I just want to focus on my dream. I know how to play many games, but I always love to become a popular musician” I replied.

“Wow, I will be your greatest fan then. And I will also be your ladylove, you haven’t given me an answer since that day.

You don’t even create time to speak to me, so tell me what’s your reply” She said.
