“Why are you happy, wait let me guess because you hit Robert?” Emma asked, she’s lying on the bed and pressing her phone
“Damn yes, you should have seen his hands, it was so red and shaky” Tessa laughed and fell on the bed
“And you’re happy about that?” Emma asked and Tessa nodded
“Gosh, you really need someone to melt your heart, I thought after he apologizes to you you’ll be good but I guess I was wrong” Emma shook her head
“Ofcourse you were wrong, do you think I’ll let him be after everything, no way” Tessa shook her head and sat straight
“Emma have you noticed something?” She asked
“What?”
“Linc, I think he’s falling for you” Tessa muttered
“What?, No” Emma shook her head
“I see the way he looks at you Everytime, I’m trying to ignore it but I can’t it’s obvious” Tessa said
“I don’t think so” Emma muttered
“Yes he does, that’s why he’s always jealous anything he sees you and Romeo together now I want to know something do you like him too?” Tessa asked
“No Linc and I are better as friends” Emma replied and looked elsewhere
“Are you sure, you don’t have romantic feelings for him?” Tessa asked
“Geez Tessa I don’t” Emma frowned
“Good” Tessa said and climbed up to the upper bunk bed
Emma lay down and sighed, if Linc has feelings for her then she’ll start avoiding him so he won’t cause a problem for Tessa and her

“Emma” Linc called from afar, Emma gasped and rushed to Romeo
“Hi” she smiled
“Hey” he smiled too
“Will you be my sit, partner I feel like chatting with a Nigerian guy” she pouted
“Okay” he smiled and they entered together
Linc frowned hard, he made to move forward but bumped into Tasha again
“What kind of rubbish is this?” He said angrily
“Excuse me, Mr if you’re angry look for someone else to vent it on, gosh!” Tasha glared at him and moved to hold Brittany’s hand
Linc scoffed and walked to the van by himself
Tessa just climbed down the stairs, she met Robert standing at the front of the couch and pressing his phone
She decides to ignore him but she didn’t know he has been waiting for her, once she got to his front, he grabbed her back and knowingly pushed her on the couch then took a pillow
“You know I’ve never hit any girl before right?, Let me make you my first one” he smiled
Tessa stood up and moved to him but he wiped her head with it and she fell back, she stood up again and he hit her again
He moved the couch and hit her with it servally while she tried blocking her face, after he’s satisfied
“That’s my pay back for you hitting me and my ex with a stick” he said and rushed out immediately
“Damn you” Tessa gritted her teeth and arranged her hair, she stood up and chased him about but he has entered the van already
“Alright, I’ll get back at you just wait” she smirked and entered too
“Are we ready” Melisa asked
“Yes” they chorused
Johnson started the Van, Tessa glared at Robert and he winked at her
“I’m planning to sing a song for you once we get there Olive” Presh said
“Ehn, no abeg” Olive shook her head
Presh chuckled and leaned back on his sit, he’s plan is to confess he’s feelings for her in public with a song, he just hope nothing goes wrong
