I walked chase down to his car after all the chitchats with my family
Your parents are really fun to be with”. he remarked holding my hands
“Thanks. I smiled”
hope the judges were not too harsh? he asked grinning
The word Judges made me remember Nick and I immediately felt guilty
“ No they weren’t. I sighed
Are you okay? he asked while studying me
I nodded
Then what is with the gloomy face? he asked
“ I am just worried about the reference letter”. I lied
What reference letter? he asked with a confused look
“We were told to bring a reference letter from our previous school”. I explained
So what is the problem with that?
I am just worried about what my principal will write down about me”. I replied
And what do you think he will write? he asked, do you have any bad record?
I shook my head negatively
Then what is it? he was still confused
I am too dull”. I blurted out
Really? he asked laughing and I nodded
What is the name of the school? he asked
“Silver hill high school”. I replied and he nodded
“That won’t be a problem, he as-sured .I will take care of it
I stared at him wondering how he will do that
“I nee-d to go now. he informed pe-cking me lightly on my forehead
he opened the door to his car and was about getting in when I called him
what is it? he asked staring at me
Why exactly are you here? I asked and he wi-de-ned his eyes in surprise
What do you mean? he asked
“I just want to know Chase so plea-se just tell me” I pleaded
Fine! he sighed, I c@m£ here because I missed you
Really? I smiled and he nodded
“Thanks Chase, I hvgged him as unexpected tears rolled down my eyes
he dis£ngaged from the hvg and stared directly at my face
Are you alright Candy? he asked
I nodded
Then why are you crying? he asked
Nothing, I shook my head
Talk to me Candy, did someone hurt you?
I stared at him blankly
how will I tell him I was crying because his brother stole my first k!ss
Candy! he called again, what exactly is wrong with you?
“I am sorry Chase”. I apologised
Sorry for what?
“For betraying our friendsh!p”. I replied
“betraying? I still don’t get , how did you betray our friendsh!p?. he said calmly
“I know it might sound stupid but I am feeling all guilty because I really like you. I confessed and he smiled slightly
How did you betray our friendsh!p? he repeated
“Someone stoke my first k!sstoday”. I replied and he scoffed
What do you mean by that? You mean you stood there and someone from nowhere c@m£ to k!ssyou
I shook my head and tried holding him but he shifted back
Chase! I called sniffing
Who is this someone? he asked coldly
“Your brother Nick”. I replied and he immediately froze…..
Chase Delgado
I stared at her in surprise
What did she just say? Did I hear right
Chase! She called and I scoffed
Are you both d@t!ng? I asked and she shook her head
Then why the hell did he k!ssyou? I yelled
“I don’t know. She sniffed”
What do you mean you don’t know? You stood there and allowed my brother……..
Damn! Why am I even getting angry , we are not even in a relationsh!p?
“Don’t say that Chase. she pleaded. I love you, I really do
Love? I scoffed
“he f0rç£d me, he f0rç£d…….
“I don’t want to hear anything Candace. I barked and got into my car
I could have taken it lightly if it were to be someone else but it was Nick …
I sighed and drove off….
Candace Noah
I walked into the house dejectedly and my mum immediately hvgged me
She must have heard everything
“I love him mum. I said crying in her arms”
“I know baby, she patted my back. You did the right thing by telling him”
“But he is very angry mum . I sobbe-d
That is because he loves you also”. She smiled
Really? I asked
Sure, he will come around…….
Chase DDelgad
I drove headed for home. I was really confused about everything
I planned on asking her out on a d@t£ but she ruined everything by telling me about a stupid k!ss
Nick, that bastard! Upon all the bit-ches he has, why did he choose to k!ssCandy? Why did he choose to k!ssan innocent girl?
*
I drove into the mansion and parked in the garage
I alighted from the car and walked into the sitting room
I met the bastard seated at the bar drinking
Little brother! he called as soon as he saw me
Why did you do it? I glared at him
Do what? he asked
Quit pretending Nick , why did you do that to Candy? I barked
Oh! You mean the girl with a beautiful voice….. oh! I can see she told you all about the k!ss, did she also tell you how I slide my ton-gue into………
“Shut up. I barked before he could complete his words
If you dare t©uçh candy again, I will destroy you”. I warned
Are you talking to me like that because it a mere girl? he scoffed
“She might be a mere girl to you but to me she is my woman”. I replied
My phone suddenly rang . it was my manager and I received it immediately
What is it? I asked him
“You nee-d to come over to the studio”. he informed
“Alright. I drawled and ended the call
“Don’t dare me Nick”. I repeated before walking out of the house
Nick Delgado
I felt my heart beat in fear when Chase left
What is wrong with me? I wondered, why is my heart beating just because of an ordinary threat?
But the look in his eyes really made me scared
I have never seen him angry like this before
“What was the noise about? my mum asked climbing down the stairs
She has been moody ever since dad and the bit-ch went on a trip after their wedding
Nothing mum, I lied
How can you say that when I heard the noise clearly? she queried
Fine! I sighed, I was having an argument with Chase
What was the argument all about? She asked
“I wanted a girl that he……….
Girl? She asked cutting in. So you mean you were arguing about a girl when there are lot of things you nee-d to think about ..
Lot of things like what? I drawled
“Your father’s property”.She replied and I laughed
Why are you laughing? She frowned, do you think I am joking
“But mum I have right to most of father’s property since I am his first son. I sm-irked
“Shut up Nick. She barked, you know nothing
I gave her a curious look
What do you mean mother? What do you intend on doing? I asked
She looked around to make sure no was was listening
“We nee-d to get rid of Chase “
What did you just say mother? I stood up , you mean you want me to get rid of my own younger brother all because of a property we could easier share . Why mother? Just tell me Why?
“Because he is the rightful heir to all Delgado property world wi-de”. She yelled
What!!! I exclaimed in shock and saw a fli-cker of fear crossed her face
What do you mean by that? I barked
“I mmeeen hee iis a bastard and I don’t want him to take any of the property”. She stuttered
I stared at her confusedly
What exactly are you saying mother? I asked
“Nothing, she replied and headed upstairs back to her room……
Episode 15
Candace Noah
I woke up early on a Monday morning .
Chase was still not picking my calls and I was seriously upset
I stretched my hands to pick up my phone for a low stool beside the be-d
I dialled Chase number and it was still the same result, it rang but he did not pick
he must really despise me now…..
*
Max! I called tapping him gently
he stirred in his sleep
Max! I called again gently and he mumbled some words before opening his eyes
Good morning! he greeted ru-bbing his eyes
Morning! I responded .
Go take your bath, I instructed him
I was expecting him to murmur but he didn’t instead he stood up quietly from the be-d and walked into the bathroom
Good boy! I remarked
I stood up from the be-d and pu-ll-ed off my clothes
I pu-ll-ed my towel from the wardrobe and wra-pped it around me.
I sat on the be-d and waited quietly for Max to return to the room
Oh Chase! I called as my mind drifted to him
What will he be doing? I sighed
My phone suddenly rang and I jump up hoping it would be Chase
I sighed in disappointment when I saw the caller , it was Zara
“hi Zara. I greeted as soon as I received the call
“How are you candy? she asked “
“I am fine. I sighed
Are you alright? She asked
“Yes, I replied
When will you be coming for the reference letter? She asked
“This morning”.i replied
“Okay then , I will see you in school. She ended the call……
“I am done”. Max announced while returning to the room
I stood up from the be-d and walked into the bathroom to freshen up
I soon returned to the room when I was done and went over to the wardrobe for a change of clothing
I met my mom arranging the sitting room
Good morning! I greeted and she smiled
Did he call you? she asked
I shook my head
“Don’t worry he will . She as-sured me
But when mum? I asked, he is not even picking my calls
I guess he was really hurt but I am very sure he will come around
Fine! I sighed
I got to school and was surprised to see all eyes on me
Did I do anything wrong? Why are they all staring?
Candy! Zara called while running to meet me
hi Zara! I greeted
Guess what! She screamed , Chase c@m£ over to the school this morning
What! Are you sure about that? I asked
Yes, she replied excitedly. he left not quite long
Why was he here? I mean what did he come for? I asked rushingly
“I don’t know what he c@m£ for . She shrug, he went directly to the principal office
Why did he…….. I st©pped when the bell rang
“Ooops! I nee-d to get to clas-s, I will call you later”. Zara said and ran off to the clas-s
I climbe-d up the stairs to the principal office
I knocked on the door and waited for his response before I walked in
Good morning sir! I greeted
“Morning Miss Noah. he responded, you are here for the reference letter right ? he asked and I nodded
How did he know? I wondered
He scribbled some words into a paper and signed on it
“Here”. he said handing the paper to me
I took the paper from me and g@sp in surprise at what I re-ad
“Candace Noah is a diligent and studious student without any complaints. She believes in working ha-rd and is loved by both teachers and students “
“Is this for real? I stared blankly at the paper
When did I become studious ?I wondered
Are you surprised? the principal asked and I nodded
“You should be ,because what I wrote down there is the direct opposite of you . he scoffed
Then why did write it sir?I asked
“Because your b©yfri£nddonated a hvge amount to the school”. he replied
b©yfri£nd? I asked in surprise
Yes b©yfri£nd. or is Chase Delgado not your b©yfri£nd? he asked
Chase! I called in surprise
I wondered how you were able to make him fall for you”. he drawled. anyways wish you all the best in your new school and don’t forget to thank your b©yfri£ndfor the donations”. he smiled
I walked out of the office feeling a lit relieved.
Chase c@m£ to the school just because of me, he still thinks of me and maybe he cares for me……..

I drove over to my manager”s house after I left candy’s School
That was the lest I could do to make her happy
My phone rang and as expected it was Candy
I allowed it to ring without picking it , I was in no mood to talk to her…….
Candace Noah
Getting to the music school , I alighted from the car and paid the driver
I sling my backpack across my shoulders and walked into the school compound
I sighted Loretta standing in front of a hvge building
Loretta ! I called while scurrying towards her
Candy! she called smiling
Are you waiting for someone? I asked when I got closer to her
“I was waiting for you”. She replied, I feel nervous going into the director’s office all alone
Fine! Let us go. I said and we headed to the office together….
*
*
We got to Director”s office and walked over to the secretary desk
Good morning ma! I greeted , we are here to see the director
Do you have an appointment with him? She asked without looking at us
“Yes .. I mean No . I stuttered
She looked up at us with a puzzled expression
“We are here for registration. I explained
Oh! You are new students right? She asked and we nodded
“You can go in”. She smiled
*
*
I knocked on the door and we waited for his response before we walking in
Good morning sir! we chorus
“Morning! he responded looking up at us
how can I help you? he asked
“We are here for registration? Loretta replied shyly
I looked at her and smiled
Can I see your reference letter? he asked
“here sir. Loretta gave him hers while I opened my backpack to bring out mine
he glanced throu-gh Loretta’s letter and scoffed
“I wonder how you will be able to cope in this school with your shy nature”. he drawled
“Take this. he said handing her a form to fill
Can I have yours? he asked looking at me
“here sir”. I gave my reference letter to him
Are you Candy? he asked looking up at him
“Yes sir. I nodded and he smiled
Wow! he exclaimed, your father was right about you
I stared at him in surprise
Are you by chance his boss? I asked and he nodded
Oh sir! plea-se pardon my manners , I never knew…
“It is alright dear. he smiled while handing me a form also
I filled it up with my details and gave it back to him
“Thanks very much sir , I appreciated and he smiled

Where do you know him from? Loretta asked on our way to clas-s
“My dad works for him”. I replied and he was also the one who paved the way for me to get into this school
Oh! she exclaimed
And guess what!
What? she asked
he is Kira’s father”. I replied grinning
Are you for real? she gave me a surprised look and I nodded
how can a ………. she stooped when we heard students screaming
We ran hurriedly to the scene and we got there just in time to see Chase and a man on suit walking in
Chase! Chase! Loretta screamed in delight
“I am so much gonna love this school . She squealed”
My chase! I muttered and smiled …….
