“Today was quite fun.. Thanks Nat” Arianna said as she filmed their way back.
There was no taxi where they were so they had to walk abit before seeing one.
She faced the camera to herself and made the “✌” sign with her finger as she winked.
“Say hi to the camera!” Arianna turned the camera to Nathaniel.
He smiled out his dimples and waved at the camera. Arianna turned back the camera to herself and blew ki-sses before saving the video on her phone.
“Posting it right away on my TikTok account” Arianna said and began doing some editing on it before posting.
Few minutes later, she began receiving comments like-
???? You look cute!!
???? Who’s the guy beside you?
???? He’s cute. Is he your boyfriend?
???? You two look good together!!
???? Gosh! His dimples, I think I’m falling in love!!
Arianna looked at Nathaniel and chuckled then shook her head.
“A taxi!” Nathaniel spotted one and immediately hailed it.
They both got in and the drive home began.
“Please, drop me here” Arianna said when they were approaching her home.
The cab stopped in front of the mansion and Nathaniel couldn’t help but marvel at the sight of the huge mansion.
“She’s filthy rich!” He said inwardly.
“So I’ll see you tomorrow Nathan. Bye!” She pecked his cheek before going down.
She began waving at him
Nathaniel touched his cheek and smiled and also waved back as the car drove off. He looked front and placed his hand on his chest..
“You really can’t stop beating for her huh?” He said inwardly and smiled.
“Why do I feel like I’m getting myself in a de-ep mess” He thought again and shrugged.
Arianna smiled and made to enter. Her heart skipped a beat when she saw Reuben’s car driving in the mansion.
She slowly walked in and met him coming down the car.
“I saw you waving at a taxi.. Who was it?” He asked with a straight face.
“My.. Project mate” She replied while looking down.
Reuben looked at her for a while and entered the house. She sighed loudly and followed too while smiling
Today was really fun

MONDAY, HALL**
Sunday pa-ssed really fast with the students, rounding up with their project.
Now all the students were sitting in a not so big hall so that they can show the various project they worked on
Murmurs filled the hall as the students were waiting patiently for it to begin.
Jasmine was sitting next to Travis and they kept whispering to each other about their project. Jasmine looked really happy.
Nancy kept glaring daggers at her from where she was sitting with Poppy.
“So the first to present their project will be Theodore and Dean” The art teacher said
Theodore and Dean went to the front
“So everyone, I recently discovered a talent” Theodore itched his head while smiling.
“Finally! You have use” Nathaniel commented and everyone laughed.
The laughed slowly díed down.
“So like I was saying, I have a talent and it is talking to animals” He said and Dean opened a cage, bringing out a bird from it
The bird flew and stood on his shoulder
Theodore cleared his throat and began making a chirp sound while the bird looked at him attentively while tilting it’s head occasionally.
Immediately he stopped, the bird flew up and went straight to Nathaniel. It began attacking him with it’s claws and beak.
“Hey! Hey! Theo stop this!!” Nathaniel said, covering his face while the others laughed including the teacher.
Theodore laughed too before making a bird’s sound. The bird flew back to Theodore while Nathaniel glared at him.
“That’s impressive. A round of applause for them please” The teacher said and the students clapped as they went to their seats.
Since Lance and Nancy didn’t do their project, she skipped them and it was Travis and Jasmine’s turn.
“Hey guys!” Travis smiled and all his admirers began blus-hing and blowing ki-sses at him.
“So, I and Travis we went mining and with the supervision of professionals of course. On our quest, we found this..” Jasmine said and brou-ght out am emerald stone from the box she was holding.
“Wow!” The teacher exclaimed.
“This emerald is very rare to find and it’s particularity is that it glow in the dark and it is said to worth some pretty amount of money” Travis said.
“Gosh!! The museum will love this a lot!! This is a work of art!!” The teacher exclaimed, already noting them.
“That’s really perfect!!” The teacher gushed and began clapping. The others joined her too.
???? Can I touch it?
???? No me!!
The next in line were Arianna and Nathaniel..
“So, I’m sure everyone here loves tourism right? Going to new places and all that.. But wouldn’t it be nice if you were able to bring back some memory home?” Arianna said and looked at Nathaniel then nodded.
Nathaniel removed the covers from the two painting they made and the students gasped.
???? Gosh!! It looks so real!!
???? Where’s this place? I wanna go there!!
???? It’s so beautiful!!
“Awwn… So beautiful!!” The teacher gushed as she looked at it.
Some discreetly brou-ght out their phone to take pictures of it.
“I hope you two will show me to this place coz I’ll love to go there” The teacher said.
“Me too” A student commented
Theodore laughed silently as he looked at the painting. He would always recognize that place even in his dreams
“They all love it!” Arianna said, smiling widely.
“Yunno, this is my first painting I’m showing to everyone. I’m glad they love it!!” She added.
“You’re good in it.. I even learned from you” Nathaniel said.
They looked at each other and stuck hands.
Gianna rolled her eyes from where she was sitting which Amber clearly saw. Amber smiled and looked front.
Gianna and Amber had no project to present so they skipped them and it went on till it was Cole and Linda’s turn.
She was putting on a white crop top with a black skort and her hair was tied up in a ponytail. Cole had his hair tied in a man bun and he was putting on a white huge T-shirt and black joggers with black wristband on both hands.
“Hey everyone!!” Linda said cheerfully.
???? Hey s-exy Linda!!
“So we all know that dancing is an art. A way of expressing one’s feeling or emotion so here we are. Hope you’ll all like our little performance” She smiled.
Cole turned on the music they played back at his place and they began dancing
Everyone stared with their utmost attention as the two of them danced s-exily to the music playing.
Amber stared jealously at them as Cole had his hand on her, with their body against each other as they flowed with the music.
Lance too wasn’t spared. He couldn’t help but feel jealous with the way Cole stared at Linda and Linda too.
He knew it was part of the choreography but still, he couldn’t help but feel that way.
Cole and Linda began dancing the ending part and Cole’s hair got loose, his hair falling on his face making him look hotter
???? I think I’m gonna faint!!
???? Cole!!!?
The girls began screaming as they strike their ending pose with Linda’s hand on Cole’s chest and his hand on her wa-istas they looked intently at each other with Cole’s hair covering part of his eyes.
Linda was the one who broke the stare as she looked back at the others who were clapping for them. Cole looked at Linda for some seconds before facing the rest.
“Okay,, it was a little bit explicit but I know most of you here aren’t that innocent so I think it’s a very fantastic show which had alot of messages in it” The teacher said.
Linda nodded while smiling and faced whole who just nodded at her with a slight smile on his face.
She faced Lance and her smile faded when she saw the not so smiling look on his face.
“This is getting complicated.” She thought.
Linda and Cole left to change to their uniform while the others began walking back to cla-ss.
“Hey Nathan” Gianna smiled
“Oh Gigi. How was your weekend” Nathaniel smiled too.
“Well great. I have something important to tell you, can we meet after school?” Gianna asked shyly
“Well,, sure. I’m free today so yeah” Nathaniel said.
“Hey Anna” Travis called
Arianna turned to him and smiled. This will be the first time she’s smiling at him
“Travis.” She called
“How are you feeling?” Travis asked
“Well I’m pretty cool what about you?” Arianna asked as they began walking side by side to cla-ss.
“I’m cool” Travis replied
“About that guy at Nancy’s party..”
“Well I already confronted my ex friends and things are sorted out. I’m better off without them, in fact I feel happier” She said.
“I’m glad to hear that..” Travis smiled.

LA~ZARA AGENCY**
Camilla brou-ght down her phone from her ear as she pouted.
“You’re sure you saw her here today?” Camilla asked a worker who nodded
“She’s ignoring me.. But why?” Camilla muttered.
Well her and Ingrid work in the same company as models and ever since the incident (which she doesn’t know) Ingrid has been ignoring her.
She dialed her number again but this time, the phone was switched off.
Camilla sighed and began heading to the changing room to change. She just finished her last photoshoot for the day.
Once she was throu-gh, she took her handbag and left the agency while pressing her phone
A message from Grayson suddenly came up and she instantly smiled.
???? Where are you?
She read his message and began typing.
???? Just walked out of the agency.. Why??
Few seconds later, Grayson replied.
???? Look up
She looked up and smiled wider when she saw Grayson walking to her with one of his hand in his pocket while the other was holding his phone.
“How can he look so handsome and hot with a simple hoodie and ripped jeans?” She said inwardly as she watched him come closer.
“Hey beauty” Grayson winked and she instantly hug-ged him.
“Missed you!” She said.
Grayson smiled and touched her hair..
“Me too” Grayson said and held her hand. They began walking to her car.
“How did you know i work here” Camilla asked.
“I came to see a good friend of mine but she wasn’t there. I was leaving when I saw you coming out of the same company too” Grayson said.
“A good friend of yours? Is she pretty?” Camilla asked jealously.
“Yeah. A lot and she’s super hot and s-exy” Grayson smiled.
“Okay” Camilla rolled her eyes and got in the car. She crossed her arms while frowning.
Grayson chuckled and got in the driver’s seat then closed the door. He made her face him before pecking her li-ps.
“You’ll always be the prettiest woman to me” He whispered and she instantly blus-hed.
He smiled before releasing her..
“So where should I drop you.. I’m your replacement driver for the day” Grayson said, buckling his seat belt.
“Let’s go to… The spa!!” She said
“Okay boss” He said and ignited the car’s engine then began driving off to their destination
Camilla looked at him as he drove with the left hand and slowly smiled. She interlocked her fingers with his right hand and he looked at her.
“I love you” She muttered.
Grayson smiled and ki-ssed the back of her hand before facing front.
Well ever since the ki-ss at the restaurant, they haven’t seen each other and each time she says she loves him, he’ll always smile or ki-ss her.
“I’ll wait till you’re ready to fully open up to me” Camilla said inwardly, staring at him as he drove.

STAR BRIGHT ACADEMY**
It was lunch break and everyone where heading to the cafeteria.
Nathaniel sighed as he stared at Travis who was walking next to Arianna while chatting and laughing.
“Nathan… Nathan!!” Theodore called, bringing her back to reality.
“Huh?” Nathaniel blinked and looked at Theodore.
“I’ve been talking to you for 5 minutes now.. What’s going on in that mind of yours” Theodore asked.
“Nothing” Nathaniel sighed as they walked in the cafeteria. She sighted Arianna and Travis sitting together while eating their meal.
Theodore followed his line of sight.
“Oh.. I see, you don’t feel comfortable seeing them together” Theodore said.
“Kinda… I always feel weird when she smiles at him” Nathaniel said and glanced at them again.
“You guys aren’t even dating and you’re already jealous? Wow!” Theodore said as they ordered their meal.
“I’m not jealous” Nathaniel denied.
“Yeah,, I see” Theodore said sarcastically.
“Well you should know she’s pretty and popular, that means you’ll have a lot of competitors. Just up your game a little” Theodore said as they sat down to eat.
Nathaniel said nothing and began eating. He glanced back at them and just then Travis was helping Arianna clean her stained li-ps.
He looked away.
*******
Dean sat down in an empty clas-sas he made a video call. Few minutes later, the person answered the call revealing a very beautiful girl with long hair.
“Babe” The girl exclaimed.
“Babe..” Dean smiled and ran his hands throu-ghhis hair.
“Gosh! I missed you so much.. How have you been?” Ca-ssie muttered and jumped on the bed.
“I’m good, just been busy yunno preparing for our next comeback and all..” Dean said.
“Looks like you just showered” Dean said since he could see her upper body bare. Just a towel round it
“Oh yeah, places are quite hot here” Ca-ssie said and tugged a piece of her hair behind her ear.
“Guess what babe!!” Ca-ssie said excitedly.
“What?” Dean asked.
“Just guess!!” Ca-ssie said.
“I’m not really good at guessing” Dean itched his head.
“Dad told us yesterday that well be moving back to California in two months!!” Ca-ssie exclaimed.
“fuc-k !! Really!!” Dean said happily.
“Yes!! We’ll finally be able to see each other” Ca-ssie said happily.
“I’m so happy! You just made my day” Dean said.
He suddenly head a movement and he watched how Ca-ssie bit her li-ps and closed her eyes
“What’s wrong babe?” Dean asked.
“Nothing.. I,, I’ll call you later. Bye!, I love you” She said and hung up immediately
Dean pocketed back his phone and smiled before leaving the cla-ss..
*******
“Finally!!” Linda exclaimed as they ate on a separate table.
“Yeah, I decided to tell him about my feelings after cla-sses” Gianna smiled.
“That’s better.. But Gigi” Linda suddenly called.
“If he rejects you, don’t do something irrational” Linda said.
“He won’t reject me.. I’m optimistic” Gianna said.
“I’m just saying. We never can tell” Linda said and drank from her can of soda.
Gianna smiled and looked at Nathaniel’s way..
When Nancy couldn’t take seeing Travis and Arianna together, she stood up and stormed out of the cafeteria.
Arianna saw her leaving and immediately stood up too.
“I’ll be back Travis” Arianna said and went after Nancy.
“Nancy..” She caught up with her in the hallway.
“What!!” Nancy snapped.
“About that deal,, let’s stop it.. I’m not longer interested in it” Arianna said.
Nancy looked at her for a while and laughed.
“You really think I’m gonna accept? No, not at all.. A deal is a deal and you either do it or you leave this school like it was said.” Nancy said.
“You have just two weeks left.. Two weeks,, enjoy you last moment in this school since I know you’re gonna fail woefully” Nancy said and turned to leave.
“What if I win?” Arianna said and Nancy paused.
She looked back at Arianna.
“You heard me right Nancy.. What if I win huh? That means you’re gonna leave this school and also leave your Travis behind” Arianna smirked, coming closer to her.
Nancy immediately began feeling uncomfortable..
“Let’s end this sh*t you started and continue like nothing happened… Deal?” Arianna stretched her hand forth.
Nancy looked at her hand and swallowed.
“Deal” She accepted her handshake.
“Good, you’re not that dúmb like I thought.. Also, one thing I don’t joke with my friends.. Jasmine may not tell it to us but I know you bully her now let me make this clear to you” Arianna said and came closer, staring directly into her eyes since they had the same height.
“We are in two different tiers. My family rules this state and you you’re just a little insignificant pawn in this school which I can clear up just my waving my finger. If you dare lay your ugly fingers on Jasmine again you’ll regret it dearly.. Mark my words” Arianna said and left.
Nancy stood on her spot, looking shocked. She slowly folded her fists in anger
The rest of the day went by slowly without any problem till it was time to go back home.
“Nathaniel” Gianna walked to Nathaniel’s desk.
“Gianna.. You said you had something to tell me right?” Nathaniel asked and Gianna nodded.
“Let’s go” Nathaniel stood up and they left the cla-ss
Linda watched them leave and she sighed..
Gianna and Nathaniel stopped by the lockers and they faced each other.
“So what’s up?” Nathaniel asked while smiling..
“Um Nathaniel, the truth is that… That..that” Gianna began stammering.
“I.. I like you a lot, from the very first day we bumped into each other in front of that club” Gianna blurted out.
Nathaniel’s eyes wide-ned in shock at what he heard.
“I know it isn’t really feminine of me but,, can you be my boyfriend? I promise you won’t regret it” Gianna took his hand and placed it on her chest, staring intently at him.
“Gianna…” Nathaniel finally found his voice.
“Yes?”
“I’m sorry..” He muttered, slowly removing his hand from her hold.
Gianna’s heart slowly fell..
“I’m sorry Gianna but I only see you as a friend and I don’t want to ruin our friendship Gianna” He said.
“Just say you love Arianna” Gianna snapped in tears.
“Huh?”
“I don’t get it, why her and not me… What does she even has that I don’t have!! I’m pretty, I’m brainy too.. Is it because she’s rich and popular??” Gianna said while cleaning her tears.
“Gianna,, it’s not like that.. Please understand-”
She stormed out of the area before he could finish speaking. Nathaniel sighed and walked back to cla-ss.
“Where did you go?” Theodore asked when Nathaniel came back in cla-ss.
“Long story” Nathaniel muttered and took his bag.
Linda upon seeing Nathaniel, already understood it didn’t turn out well so she left to look for Gianna.
“Where’s Arianna?” Nathaniel asked when he couldn’t see Arianna nor her bag.
“She left with Travis. C’mon! Let’s get going” Theodore hung his arms round his neck as they left.
He winked at Julia and Julia blus-hed before leaving with Nathaniel.
They walked out of the building and saw Travis talking with Arianna..
Nathaniel immediately left Theodore’s side and went to them
“Come I’ll drop you home” Travis smiled.
“Sure let’s-”
“Arianna” Nathaniel interrupted them.
They both turned to him and Travis frowned when he saw him.
He works in the same company as the boys so he knows already he’ll be the fourth member of the group and also the fact that he always hang out with Arianna makes him dislike him.
“I need to…tell you something” He said
“Oh okay” Arianna said and turned to Travis.
“Guess it’ll be another time.. Bye Travis, take care” He said and held Nathaniel’s hand and they walked to a calm place.
Travis frowned more..
Theodore sat down by the stairs to laugh well as he watched the drama in front of him.
“My baby bro is jealous” He laughed..
“So what do you want to tell me?” Arianna asked
“Euh… I,, forgot” Nathaniel began itching his head nervously.
“Huh? You forgot why you wanted to tell me a minute ago?” Arianna raised a brow
“Um,, yeah” He said awkwardly..
Arianna smirked and crossed her hand under her br**sts.
“Don’t tell me you were jelly jealous for Travis” Arianna raised her brow while smirking.
“Uh.. No!!” Nathaniel quickly said and looked away
“Why did I do that!!” He screamed inwardly.
Arianna chuckled and shook her head
“Sure.. I’ll make as if I believe.. Where’s Theo, lemme drop you two home” Arianna smiled.
*******
“Amber, I think I’m falling for Theodore” Julia said as they walked home.
“What!! He’s poor!!” Amber snapped.
“Yeah,, but no condition is permanent.. Who knows he’ll be rich in future,, it’s just that each time we fuc-k and he touches me and looks at me with those beautiful eyes of his.. I feel like,,, gosh!!” Julia screamed.
“What about Dean?” Amber asked.
“You know he’s dating Ca-ssie. It’ll never work” Julia shrugged.
Amber just sighed and shook her head as they walked.
Gianna suddenly blocked their way in tears. Amber and Julia exchanged looks before looking back at her.
“About your deal.. I’m ready” Gianna cleaned her tears and looked at them with a cold look on her face.
Amber smirked
