The drive to the beach began. Emma was sitting at the back with Miss Melissa as she treated the bruise Tessa gave her.
“Tessa, you need to control that nasty temper of yours. Gosh, I hope she doesn’t kill Robert before we get back home” Emma thought worriedly.
Chi was sitting beside Brittany and he couldn’t get his eyes off he especially her b**bs and fresh legs.
“This one na full package oo” He muttered while lic-king his li-ps. Suddenly he brou-ght out his phone and handed it to Brittany.
“What should I do with it” Brittany frowned de-eply.
“Please help me with your number” Chi said with a silly smile on his li-ps…
Brittany rolled her eyes and slapped the phone off her face before crossing back her hand under her chest.
The phone fell down in the process. Chi sighed and bent down to pick it.
“I swear you go be mine one day” Chi thought and kept his phone in his pocket then resumed staring at her.
“Freak!” Brittany muttered and looked out of the bus window.
Olive was sitting next to Angel. They were busy discussing but her spirit wasn’t there. Every now and then, she’ll steal a glance at Presh who was chatting and laughing with Tasha. That made her feel really uncomfortable…
“Olive…olive!!” Angel said loudly jolting her out of her thoughts.
Angel looked at Presh’s direction and understood what was going on. She smiled and shook her girl.
“I already told you. Give a chance to Presh before another girl takes him away” Angel said referring to Tasha.
Olive rolled her eyes and crossed her arms under leaning more on her seat.
“I don’t care. If he wants to switch to another girl we-tin concern me?” Olive said and looked out of the window.
“Even God knows that you’re jealous right now” Angel chuckled and turned to Carl who was sitting at her left. They engaged a discussion together.
Olive looked back at Presh. Tasha stylishly leaned closer to him like she was whispering something in his ear. That thing she said made him smile and he replied to Tasha. Olive scoffed and looked out of the window again.
Romeo was sitting at the backseat with Emma and Miss Melissa. Miss Melissa slowly fell asleep.
Romeo looked at Emma who was busy pressing her phone. One could see that she was chatting with Tessa.
Emma felt eyes on her so she looked up. Romeo quickly closed his eyes like he was sleeping. Emma leaned towards him.
“What does she want to do?” Romeo wondered with his heart palpitating inside.
Romeo then felt a hand pinch his nose. He snapped his eyes opened…
“I know you aren’t sleeping.” Emma giggled.
Romeo giggled too and sat up straight then looked at her. She flashed him a cute smile.
“I’m so excited to go to the beach. I’ve never gone to the beach!” Emma said dreamily.
Romeo furrowed his brows.
“You’ve never been to the beach?” Romeo asked.
“Well not really. Today is my first day going to one, I’ve only seen them in TV. I don’t even know how to swim!” Emma pouted.
Romeo chuckled..
“Don’t worry I’ll teach you how to swim once we get there” Romeo smiled.
“Really? Thanks a lot!” Emma smiled. She faced back her phone when she received another text from Tessa.
Linc who was looking at them from the front seat he was sitting frowned. He was really feeling uncomfortable seeing them together….
“We’ve arrived” Sir Johnson said and got down the car.
Emma tapped Miss Melissa up and informed her they arrived. All of them got down the bus one after another.
“Wow, it’s so big and cool!!!” Angel gasped looking at the beautiful scenery in front of her….
“This place will have been so romantic if we were here just the two of us” Presh whispered at Olive.
She glared at him then rolled her eyes.
“Mtchew!!!” She hissed and walked away.
Presh was left surprised, wondering what went wrong…
“Enjoy yourself. I and Johnson will be here waiting for you guys. We’ll move after two hours.” Melissa said.
The kids nodded and walked away.
“Come let’s go change to our bikinis!” Emma said. The girls walked away. They entered the girl’s cabinet and began changing.
The boys went and changed to then began settling their things down at the spot they found…
“I don’t wanna go out dressed in this! ” Olive exclaimed while Emma and Angel pulled her to where the boys where.
The boys heard their voices so they looked up. Time froze for Presh as he could see only Olive, same as Olive…
“Na only indian romantic music remain” Angel said and Emma laughed.
Olive got back to her self and glared at her friends who were laughing at her.
“Hey guys!” Emma said walking towards the boys.
Romeo and Linc couldn’t get their eyes off her.
Chi was busy searching for Brittany with his eyes. He saw her but his face fell when he saw her discussing with some random guy. They were even laughing…
Tasha too couldn’t get her eyes off Presh. Those biceps, those abs, chest and strong arms. They were enough to drive any girl crazy…
Olive squ-atted in front of the cooler which had a lot of refreshments.
“Pineapple juice. My favorite drink…I’m sure it’s Presh who included it” Olive thought and smiled.
As if he knew she was thinking of him, he came and stood in front of her. Olive looked up at him before standing straight.
“I knew you would want it so I bought it just for you” Presh smiled.
“Thanks” Olive said sternly and turned to leave but Presh caught her hand and made her face him.
Olive gasp and placed her hands on his bare chest.
“Why are you avoiding me?” Presh asked with a brow furrowed.
“I’m not avoiding you. Instead of disturbing me, go and talk with Tasha” Olive rolled her eyes and yanked his hand off her body before walking away.
Presh smiled and bit his li-ps grinning hugely.
“I see. She’s jealous” He thought and chuckled before joining Chi and Bolu.
“My man, why you dey twist face like pikin way wan sh*t?” Bolu asked. He was referring to Chi.
“You no fit understand. Leave me alone” Chi frowned and walked away.
Presh looked at him walking away.
“we-tin happen?” Presh asked
Bolu raised both his shoulders up signalling that he doesn’t know. Linc held their shoulders.
“C’mon, let’s go swim! Last person to reach the water is a b*tt face” Linc said and began running to water.
Presh and Bolu ran after him like pros. Linc was surprised when they ran pas-shim. What was he expecting when he was running with two guys who were pros at stealing mangos…
They all dived into water and began swimming around.
“Alright we’ll chat more throu-ghtexts. Bye cuz” Brittany waved at the guy which she was chatting with. It was one of her cousins who lived in California.
“Should we put our plan to practice?” Tasha asked.
“Nope, let’s wait for the perfect opportunity” Brittany chuckled.

Tessa was sitting in front of the TV, watching a movie while eating some popcorns.
Her phone ranged and she picked it up with a smile on her face. By that time, Robert was coming downstairs with bandage round his neck..
“Hello aunt. How are you doing?” Tessa smiled.
“I’m good. I called Emma but she hasn’t been picking. How are you girls?” Emma’s mom said while cooking.
“We’re fine aunt. How about you and…how’s my family doing?” Tessa asked slowly..
“Well my husband and I are fine. We went and visited your parents when your father got discharge from the hospital and they’re fine.” Emma’s mom replied.
“Good, please aunt. Can you check up on them?” Tessa asked.
“Sure will do so” she smiled.
“Ma’am my beer!” A customer yelled.
“Coming” Emma’s mom replied and faced the phone.
“Will call you later bye” She said and hung up.
Tessa smiled and hung up too then hug-ged her phone to her chest.
“Miss you so much mom and dad..” She muttered sadly.
“Too bad they don’t even miss you. Short, they hate you. Thanks to who…me of course” Robert laughed.
Tessa stood up from the couch and walked till she stopped in front of him, giving him a deadly glare.
“What? Tryna murder me with your glare. Beat me all you can’t but that won’t change the fact that your parents hate you and will never forgive you… Never!!” He spatted at her face.
Tessa closed her eyes and folded her fists in anger. She opened her eyes back and sent him a mocking glare accompanied with a mocking smile.
“At least I don’t have my hands stained with the blood of my sister” Tessa said slowly.
That really touched Robert as he felt weak instantly. He was taken back to 2 years ago.
One fateful night, he was coming back from a party with his little sister Anne. He took some cannabis back ther which made him not to think straight. He was driving back home at a furious speed, way above the speed limit.
Anne begged him to slow down but he paid deaf ear. To him, he was a pro at driving. He was unaware of when a truck drove in from a junction. Before he could stop, he collided with the truck.
Luckily, he survived the accident but Anne his little sister didn’t. To him, he’s the reason why she’s dead…
A tear fell from Robert’s eyes when he remembered that incident. Tessa smiled seeing the tears in his face.
“You see how it feels like being taunted with your weakness right? How does it feel like when you are the reason why your family will never be perfect. How does it-”
“Shut up!!!” Robert yelled, grabbing Tessa by the neck and pinning her on the wall.
“Or else what? You’re gonna hit me? Go on! That will be nothing compared to the scars you gave me” Tessa yelled in tears.
Robert suddenly felt guilty…
“I will never stop till I make you cry all the tears I’ve shed because of you” Tessa said and pushed him away rou-ghly.
She glared at him before marching upstairs…

“I think it’s time” Tasha said to Brittany.
Emma was busy playing with the sand alone while the others were swimming.
“Yeah” Brittany replied.
Brittany walked away and tapped a man.
“Please can you help me. I promise to pay you back” She said and winked at him…
