“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
The man looked at her confusedly and she smiled, she used her eyes to call Tasha and Tasha came
“Hey..” Tasha whispered and stylishly brou-ght out her wallet, she brou-ght over 100,000$ and counted at this front, the man began looking at the money
“This can be yours if you can help us with something” Brittany said, blinking like a doll
“And what’s that?” The man asked, his eyes not leaving the money
Tasha and Brittany looked at themselves and smiled
“You see that girl playing with sand over there?” Tasha asked, using her head to point Emma
“Yea I see her” the man replied
“We want you to push her instead the water and run” Brittany said
“Deal” the man replied and took the cash
Brittany and Tasha looked at themselves and smirked then they walked slowly to a small shelter to watch
Emma had built a sand castle with the beach sand, she smiled and took a pic with it, then she fetched more sands to build more other stuffs but someone suddenly lifted her up
“Hey” Emma yelled but the person didn’t answer, instead he began running towards the water
“Put me down!!, Someone help, help me please!!” She yelled out
The boys turned their head towards the direction of the screams and their eyes wide-ned
“Hey!” Linc and Romeo yelled at the same time and came out of the water
The man immediately threw Emma in and took his heels
“Agrh, someone help” Emma screamed, she couldn’t swim and she’s trying not to drown but she’s already drowning
“Emma” Linc and Romeo began running but since Romeo is a Nigerian guy, obviously still mangoes from a tree beside their school he was able to gap Linc in running
He dived into the water and swam after Emma, Linc ruffled his hair in anger then he remembered the man that pushed Emma, luckily the man hasn’t gotten to far so Linc decided to run after him
Brittany and Tasha looked at themselves and laughed out loud, enjoying whatever was happening
Romeo successful pulled Emma out, he laid her on the ground and began pressing her stomach in panic
“Emma, Emma, God!” He muttered and pinched her nose then placed his li-ps on hers giving her a mouth to mouth resuscitation and about five more she coughed out water and woke up
“Emma” he called but she can see a blurry face
“Open your eyes are you okay?” He asked worriedly
“R.. Romeo” she called and he nodded
“Thank you” she smiled and pa-ssed out again
“Emma!!”
***
Linc is still chasing after the man he’s determined never to lose him, even though he can’t save Emma but he can also do justice for her
“fuc-k ing stop right there!” He yelled chasing after the man even more
“Leave me alone!” The man yelled, he ran so fast and refused to look back
“Damn you!” Linc cursed and increased his pace then in no time he’s few meters away from the man
The man looked back and panic, he decided to add more pace but his leg accident hit a stone so he tripped and fell
Linc smirked and stepped on his back. “Think you can run huh?, Tell me who sent you”
“No one I just wanted to have fun” the man replied
“No one??” Linc repeated and added pressure on the man’s leg
“Ouch!, Fine it was two girls okay” he sighed
“Let’s go together, come show me those girls” he raised the man from the collar and began pulling him along
..
“Okay time’s up for the beach, it’s time for us to go ho.. oh my Emma, what happened” Melissa screamed when she saw Romeo had Emma on his arms
“She drowned then pas-sout” Romeo replied
“Quick take her to the van, make sure she lay at the long sit at the front sit” Johnson said and Romeo nodded
Linc just got there with the man. “Show me the girls?” He ordered
Brittany and Tasha looked at themselves in fright, they knew they are done for
“It’s them” the man pointed at Tasha and Brittany while Linc looked at them in anger
“At the count of three we’ll run” Brittany muttered and Tasha nodded
“One..” Brittany shouted and ran
“Hey” Tasha yelled and followed behind
“Damn you” Linc pushed the man and began chasing after them
“Catch them!” He shouted from afar to Bolu and Chi who were busy chatting
Brittany just ran pas-sChi
“Catch her na mumu!” Bolu hit Chi and Chi eyed him
Tasha is still behind, she looked back only to find out that Linc is right behind her, she wanted to take one more step forward but Linc cought her by the forearm and made her face him
With the force he used to turn her, their li-ps almost touched but he didn’t care, he held her forearm tightly, hurting her in the process
“Ouch my hand!, Leave me!!” Tasha yelled and tried hitting him but he squee-zed it even more
“How could you!, How could you do that to your fellow mate how could you be so heartless??” He said in anger
“Leave me okay, it’s none of your business” she replied with teary eyes, her hands are hurting real bad
“None of my business?, You’re disgusting you and Brittany are disgusting!!, You just came here and you’re planning evil with a girl that have never wronged you before then how do you behave in your country, you’re a disappointment and a cheap b**ch, read my li-ps cheap b**ch!” He said angrily
Tears came out of Tasha’s eyes not because of her hands but because of what he’s saying to her
Linc stared at her in disgust before releasing her hands and walking out
Tasha covered her mouth and rushed back to the van in tears, students were already inside and they were looking at her strangely but she didn’t mind them, she went to the back and sat beside Brittany
“Are you okay?” Brittany asked but instead of replying she glared daggers at her
“Your hand did. Did he did this to you?” Brittany asked
“Just leave me alone okay!!” Tasha yelled and faced another side
Brittany bit her li-ps and looked throu-ghthe bus window, she suddenly felt guilty for running without her
Then Linc joined them with an angry look on his face, he sat beside Presh and leaned back on his sit then closed his eyes
“Are we all complete?” Sir Johnson asked
“Yes” they chorused and he started the bus.

***
They got back to the Mansion, Tasha is the first to get down from the bus
“Tasha” Brittany ran after her but Tasha had enter the room and locked herself in
Tessa just got out of her room when she heard they are back, she looked at Brittany and Tasha and shurgged then climbed down the stairs
“Emma, what happened to her?” she asked when she saw Romeo carry her in
“Someone threw her into the water and she drowned” Romeo replied
“Who pushed her, who’s the mother fuc-k er” Tessa yelled
“I’ll tell you later but for now she needs to rest, where’s your room?” He asked
Tasha pointed the door and Robert took Emma inside, Linc just walked pas-sTessa, rou-ghly pushing her with his shoulders accidentally but he didn’t bother apologizing he just stormed into his room and slammed his door hard
Tessa sighed and climbed down the stairs to check on the rest
**
Linc got in and met Robert silently playing games with his PSP
“How’s the beach?” Robert asked not looking at him but Linc never replied instead he went to the restroom and locked himself in
“He’s on his own” Robert muttered
Linc switched on the shower and made it pour freely on his body, earlier when he insulted Tasha that way it was out of anger cause he didn’t get to save Emma like the hero
Just watching the way Romeo took care of Emma in the bus, just watching he way Romeo jumped into the water to save Emma and watching how Romeo carried her to her room made him felt useless
“I like you Emma but I can’t even do anything for you” he muttered sadly
*******
Evening… After dinner**
Emma had woken up already, it was another student that cooked dinner this time,now all of them were at the living room
Some girls like Olive, Emma and Angel were watching TV together at the couch, Tasha never came out of her room since the time they came back from the beach
Brittany is sitting at the dinning and chatting with Robert who was just replying with an “hmm” while Tessa sat by the stairs watching everyone
“This house don dey boring, I think we should play that truth and dare now” Chi said
“Agreed” Presh nodded
Just then Linc came out of his room and sat beside Tessa by the stairs, Tessa looked at him and looked elsewhere not knowing what to do
“Earlier when I came back from the beach and pushed you.. I’m sorry” he looked at her and apologized
“Really?” She asked
“Hmm, I was just mad I’m really sorry” he said
“Apology accepted” she smiled
“You also have a pretty smile, smile more often” he patted her head and stood up
Tessa smiled and watched him leave while Robert rolled his eyes from where he was
“So gather here for the truth or dare” Presh shouted going to sit on the couch where Olive and the girls were watching TV
Chi took the remote and turned off the TV and the girls all yelled all at once
“Hey” the girls shouted, glaring daggers at him
“Sorry sorry, na game time, make una gather here” Chi smiled
Brittany rolled her eyes and went upstairs to call Tasha
“Truth or Dare are you in?” She opened the door and asked but Tasha didn’t answer, instead she lay and faced her side
“Please”
“I’m not in” Tasha replied, Brittany sighed and left
..
“I got the bottle, I’ll go first” Bolu said, coming to sit with them,he snipped his bottle and it pointed Presh
“Truth or Dare?” He asked
“Dare” Presh replied
“I dare you to go and peck the girl you like on the li-ps” Bolu smiled
Presh stood up and walk straight to Olive who looked elsewhere, he smiled and made her face him then pecked her li-ps
Just that small peck got Olive heart racing real fast, her face is flushed real hard, this is her first time being pecked on the li-ps by a guy,even Laycon has never pecked her before
She kept looking at him and blinking while the girls gushed expect from Tessa who only kept a straight face
“Next time I’ll be a real ki-ss” he winked and went back to sit
He spined bottle and it pointed Chi
“Truth or Dare?”
“Me wey always like to dey lie, omor na dare oo” Chi replied and lic-ked his li-ps
“I dare you to speak straight english throu-ghout tomorrow” Presh winked
“Guy na” Chi cried out while the boys laughed
“What ever” Chi rolled the bottle and it pointed Brittany
“Omor, t or d” he asked
“Dare” she replied and eyed him
“Oya your number” he brou-ght out his phone
Brittany closed her eyes and sighed before collecting it and typing her number in it then she handed it back to him
“Las Las who win” he laughed and collected his phone back
Brittany rolled the bottle and it pointed Emma
“Truth or Dare” she asked
“Dare” Emma replied knowing there’s nothing interesting about her life
“I dare you to lic-k my shoes” Brittany smirked and took off her shoes
“Ewwweyyy” Bolu said
Tessa clenched her fist tight along with Linc and Romeo, Emma breathed and took the shoe then closed her eyes and lic-ked it
“Ewww” everyone exclaimed while Emma just nodded, she took the bottle and spin it, it pointed Robert
“Truth or Dare” she asked
“Dare” he replied
“Ah ahnnnn, why nobody one pick truth” Chi sighed
“Seriously all of them na bad child that’s why” Bolu said and laughed
“I dare you to apologize to Tessa” Emma said
Robert stood up in anger and so as Tessa, the both of them began doing a glaring contest
“Okay, lemme just shift small” Presh muttered and went to sit near Olive who has been quiet throu-ghout
Robert moved closer to Tessa still glaring at her while Tessa maintained her composure waiting for him to try anything stupid
“I’m sorry” he muttered
“I can’t hear you” she said
“I said I’m sorry” he said loudly
“Sorry for what Robert?” She asked, clenching her fist tightly
“Everything” he muttered
“I can’t hear you Robert what exactly are you sorry for!!” Tessa shouted fuming with anger, her eyes were becoming misty
“For everything!!” He yelled back
“Explain further, I need more explanation, why exactly are you sorry!!” She shouted with anger
“For everything damned thing I’ve done to you!, For making you get suspended, for taking you to jail, for making your parents hate you, for making you hit your friend and for also making you not to go to the beach, I’m sorry for every damned thing I’ve done to you okay!!’ he yelled all at once breathing heavily
