The others followed suit till they got out of the station where BB is waiting, flexing her arms
“I wonder which planet you’re from seriously” Eddy smiled, going closer to her
” I told you I hate arrogance, seriously if he fails to write me the letter I’ll upload the video, he’s arrogant cos he’s popular, when he loses his popularity and career, let’s see how much arrogance will be left in him” BB replied, glaring at no one in p@rticular
Eddy smiled again and hvgged her,,
“I hate hvgs, want me to bite your nĀ£Ā¢k?” She said
“Go on, well I missed you” he replied
” Same here, but calling you Teddy is the only thing I miss* she replied, breaking the hvg immediately then went to Nikita
“Cutie…. Thanks for everything, I knew you’d be restless about about it, you’re a good person, I’ve never said this to anyone since I lost my parents but I’ll be telling you right now…. I love you” she said and Nikita smiled,, BB hvgged her, taking her by surprise
“You hate hvgs” Nikita said
“I’ll always make an exception for you cutie, can I start calling you sis?” She asked
” Sure, and plea-se don’t make me worried again, plea-se don’t do anything that’ll lead to jail anymore” Nikita said
” I’m sorry but I can’t promise that cos no matter how much I try, br@ts will always cross my way and I know it myself that my temper is damn short, but I’ll try my best to keep it low… I’ll bring it from 100 to 99″ she replied
” You’re crazy, that’s just one percent” Eddy laughed
” I tried….. My Teddy! ” She shouted, locking his nĀ£Ā¢k in her arm
Austen has been watching with a big smile on his face since it started, she’s damn interesting and the fact that Nikita is happy cos BB is out is ma-king him happy too, he kept his gaze on her while smiling handsomely and he’s even unaware of when she held his hand, he just suddenly felt her hold,,
“Mr Austen” she said, facing him
“Hmmn” he replied, still smiling
“Thank you” she said, coming closer
“It’s nothing ,I did nothing” he said
“That’s not true, you stayed by me since I told you, that only shows you’re very kind… I’m just so grateful” she said
” It’s ok” he replied, unable to look away from her, how can a girl be so perfect?, Her imperfections are perfect too… She’s rare
“So… Can I start work tommorow?, It’ll be Monday” she asked, still holding him
” Not like I did anything concerning her re-lease, you promised to work for me if I help, I did nothing so I think it’ll be fair if you don’t work for me” he replied
” So…. You don’t want me to work for you again? ” She asked seriously
” I don’t mean that…. I just mean…
” I’ll resume work in your office tomorrow, you know my house, you should come pick me up” she said
” Really? ” Austen smiled wi-der
” Sure, I’ll tell sir Hammy and Sunny tonight, they’ll be sad but… Life is not always the way we want it, I think I nee-d the money too so I’ll just take it” she replied, finally re-leasing his hand
” I’m so happy Nik…. Thanks for accepting I’ll make sure to come pick you early” he said
” Ok, I’ll expect you” she replied
Austen was about to hvg her when Eddy c@mĀ£ back with BB,,
“I’ll be working as his personal coffee brewer in his office as from tommorow” Nikita said
” What!, He’s the one? ” Eddy said, looking at Austen shockingly
” Sure” Kita replied
” I’ve not really met you properly, I’m BB” Bright said
” He really helped a lot” Nikita said
” Austen Malcolm” Austen replied
“CEO of MM?, Nice to meet you and thank you” she said and pat Austen’s shoulder like a friend
“You tĀ©p the list of the craziest among the crazy people I’ve met” Austen said, looking at her with interest
” Many people said that alre-ady, and I know I’m crazy but what can I do?, I can’t help it” she win-ked and Austen laughed
” Are you in school?” He asked
“Oh I forgot … Bright as from tommorow you’re a student of Sunshine highschool, you got admitted” Eddy announced
” Isn’t that good? ” Nikita’s said
” Jeez!, Maybe I’m coming back here tomorrow” BB said, looking at the station
” You’re obsessed with station but I’ll make sure you don’t come back anytime soon, I’ll always be beside you to stĀ©p your anger, don’t worry” Eddy said
” Then you’ll always come home with a swollen face, I guess I nee-d to get a lot of ru-bbing balm” BB said and Eddy laughed again
” I think I love your craziness though” he said, looking at her in a different way
” Hey don’t stare like that… When will I get my uniform and other things” she said
” Tonight, it’ll be delivered tonight by the school” Eddy replied
” So like I said, dinner on me, I’m rich now, I’ll get Mister Rick another bike, I have to deliver pizzas p@rt time as from tommorow” she smiled, breathing ha-rd
” Mr Austen you should go home and rest” Nikita smiled.
“Let’s get to the bus station” Eddy said
“No, you guys should hop into the car, I’ll drop you guys at home” Austen said.
*****
Some minutes later**
Drew c@mĀ£ out of the station with his manager after spending some minutes staring into space inside
He got out and and faced his manager…
“Theodore, what just happened an hour ago?, It was a nightmare right?” He said
” This is just 12pm, you can’t possibly have nightmares during the day” Theodore replied
“Then did I just let her go after she insulted me and you transferred a million to her from my account?, Then she told me to write a damn letter so she won’t upload the video” he said, pacing around
” You just have to do it Drew, you love modelling so much, your career is at stake here and I know you can’t risk it for anything” Theodore replied
” I have to use my precious hands to write an apology letter to that ugly wacko?, And tell her in the letter why my br@ins is as…. ”
” Useless as the letter K in the word knife” Theodore replied
” fvĀ¢k you Theodore!, fvĀ¢k you! ” He shouted at him
” Sorry Drew but that’s what she said… You should make it snappy, she’s crazy, she might decide to really upload it if you take too long” Theodore said
” I can’t wra-p my head around this at all, I’ve never been humiliated like this all my life, more like I payed for my humiliation” he said, walking to his car while tou-ching his plastered head slightly
“Ouch!, It hurts” he winced, removing his hand quic-kly
“Will you be able to resume school tommorow?, You hate getting scratched in any p@rt of your bĀ©dy but now it’s on your forehead, an obvious place” Theodore said
” I’m Drew Kaz, girls at Sunshine high will even go crazy over my wound, they might decide to start plastering their foreheads too because of me, I look Se-xy in every condition and you know” he replied arrogantly
” I contacted your parents when you were unconscious but they weren’t available” Theodore said and Drew faced him swiftly
“You did what?, Theo how many times do you want me to tell you that I don’t want any connection with them, not even my baby sis!” He yelled angrily
” I’m sorry…you were in a critical condition so…
“Will their presĀ£nce make me heal?, StĀ©p sprouting ru-bbish and just listen to me Theo, if this happens again, I’mma fire you, ok?” He said
” Ok Drew, I’m sorry” Theodore replied
Drew made to enter the car but Melisa and Kayla’s car stĀ©pped at a time and they both c@mĀ£ out of their cars, rushing to him Immediately,,
Melissa tried to tĀ©uƧh his plastered forehead but he sl@pped her hand away
“I thought we hate each other” he glared
“I don’t hate you, you’re the one who hates me for no reason” she replied
” So you know I hate you and you’re here trying to tĀ©uƧh me?, fvĀ¢k off br@t, have a little bit of shame girl” he said proudly and Kayla stepped forward, trying to tĀ©uƧh him too but he gr@bbĀ£d her hand and threw it off
“Don’t!, I hate girls don’t you guys get it?, You both should never show your faces in front of me anymore, I’ve seen enough from that ugly wacko” he said and entered his car furiously, Theodore entered after him and they drove off
Melissa glared at Kayla but she only entered her car and drove off
“I payed the operator to delete it, how was the footage recovered again?” Melissa wondered and her phone buzzed
” Clas-s upd@tĀ£?, The bit-ches in my clas-s love gossips I hate them!” She snapped, checking it out
Her eyes wi-de-ned and she almost coll@psed
“Drew Kaz?, Is becoming a student of Sunshine high tommorow?, I can’t believe this oh m gee!!!!” She screamed, jumping up as her hair flew in the air
” I have to get a shorter Sk-irt, I have to look more Se-xy as from tommorow, oh I can’t breathe!, My crush!”
*****
Nikita’s place, 7pm**
The package just arrived from the school and it was Eddy who took it in from the delivery man,,
BB moved in with them immediately she c@mĀ£ back from the station, telling landlady Lorraine she doesn’t nee-d a room anymore since she loves staying with Eddy and Nikita
Eddy placed the package on the table and they unwra-pped it
It contains the sports wear ( blue joggers and white hoodie str!pped blue), then the uniform…(white shi-t and a thin muffler and a school Sk-irt)
“Sk-irt?, I hate Sk-irts more than I hate Drew, no I’m not doing this $h!t, how can I possibly wear Sk-irt” BB said, turning away from the package
“It’s what the school wants” Eddy said
“To hell with the school, I’m not wearing any damn Sk-irt, have you ever seen a tomboy wearing Sk-irt?” She said stubbornly
” So now your efforts, my efforts, Eddy’s efforts will be in vain?” Nikita said
” Nikita” BB said, frowning
“plea-se… for my sake you nee-d to wear it, just for my sake” Nikita said
” I don’t want to” she pouted and Eddy smiled, looking at her pout, it’s too cute
“plea-se…..I’m begging you” Nikita pleaded again
BB sighed and faced her. ” You just have a way of ma-king me listen to you, do you have a goddess in your belly?” BB said and Nikita smiled
” Accepted?” She said
” Ok” BB replied with a frown
“Welcome to Sunshine high!” Eddy shouted and BB smiled shortly
“That Melissa girl attends the school right?”
” Sure” Eddy replied and BB smiled, eating from the bowl of snacks on the table
“So have you told sir Hammy and Sunny?” Eddy asked
” Yes, sir Hammy was so sad that I had to leave but when I told him the reason, he had no choice, Sunny cried that she won’t be seeing me as frequently as before, but she promised to always come visiting” she replied
” Cool, I just hope this Austen guy will treat you well, if not I’ll break him” Eddy said
” He looks trustworthy” BB said
” You think so?” Eddy asked
” Sure” she replied
Nikita’s phone rang immediately, it’s Austin cos BB helped her save it earlier
“Mr Austen?’ she said, picking the call
” Sure, just called to listen to you” he replied
“Listen to me?”
“You won’t un-derstand me, just let’s talk for a while…. about you” he said and Nikita stood, she walked out of the living room into the room
“What about me?” She asked
“Tell me what you like, plea-se” he replied and she sat on the be-d
” What I like…. like food?, Clothes?, Or…
“Everything” he interrupted
“Oh….my….best food is…. Mac and cheese, I love it so much but I don’t get to eat it frequently cos it’s costly,….I love apple jui-ce….I wear anything I feel comfortable with and Eddy says I look good in everything, I love being kind and generous…that’s me” she said, smiling after saying all that
” Cool…. I’ll tell you about myself when you resume tommorow” he replied
” Then I guess I can say goodnight” she replied
” I rarely have good nights, I battle with insomnia so I don’t sleep at night” he replied
” Oh…that’s bad” she replied, b!tt!g herl-ip
” The only time I sle-pt soundly was that night at your place” he said
” Oh… ” She replied
” Yeah…but I’m ok, just make sure you sleep well … Have a good night” he said
” Ok…. We’ll meet tomorrow… bye” she said and hung up
“Insomnia?” She wondered.
*”****
Next morning**
“You look good in the uniform!” Eddy said, smiling when they finished dressing up
BB stood in front of the mirror, looking at herself annoyingly, seeing herself in Sk-irt is just annoying
“I’m doing this for Kita, I feel like a monkey right now” she said, rolling eyes at reflection in the mirror
Eddy drew her out of the room to the living room where Nikita is waiting
“She looks good right?” She asked
“Of course” Eddy replied
“I wish I can see her” Nikita said sadly
BB walked to her and gave her a hvg
” Don’t worry, I’ll die soon then you’ll have my eyes” she whispered and Nikita pinched her
” Ouch!”
” StĀ©p talking like that and let’s go” Nikita smiled and they left the house to meet Austin just arriving in his car
He c@mĀ£ out with Ray and beamed a smile
“Morning Nik, you had a good night I trust” he said, looking at her, she looks more cute in the pink go-wn
“Sure, thanks” she replied
“Take care of my sis” Eddy said simply
“I’d do that” he replied
” I trust you but if a scratch appears on her bĀ©dy……” BB said and glared at Austen
” I’ll scratch you on the only place where the sun doesn’t shine on your bĀ©dy” she said
” Ok crazy girl” he smiled, b!tt!g his l!pas he took Nikita’s hand, guiding her to the car..
Nikita waved at them when she’s alre-ady in then they made their way to the bus station

Sunshine high***
“Why do I hate everyone here” BB said, bouncing on her sneakers, walking like a guy just like she used to as she walked into the school with Eddy
“Can you stĀ©p bouncing?, You’re not a guy” Eddy said, holding her back
“I bounce before, just that the trou-sers cover it all, and this is exactly why I hate Sk-irts” she scowled and students started commenting
š„ The girl who wounded BB?
š„ She’s now a student here?
š„ Unbelievable!
š„ She’s not close to Se-xy , first girl in this school who walks like a guy
š„ I hate her
“I hate you all too!, Freaking fvĀ¢king damn much!, You can all die for all I care!” She shouted loudly and made to go to them but Eddy quic-kly pu-ll-ed her away
He had to apply f0rƧĀ£ till they got to clas-s, Olive is in clas-s alre-ady and Melissa’s eyes wi-de-ned
“What’s she doing here” she muttered hatefully
” Oh…the new scholarsh!pstudent… introduce yourself plea-se” the teacher in clas-s said , Eddy went to his seat immediately
“I’m BB” she said
“BB?”
“You can find the full meaning in the dictionary.. Oxford to be precise” she replied and the whole clas-s laughed ….
“She’s so ugly, I wonder how she got created as a girl” Melissa scowled
Almost immediately, loud screams filled the whole school and everyone got more and more anxious as the screams got more closer till it c@mĀ£ in
Melissa smiled wi-dely when she beheld Drew, he looks super h0t in the school uniform…jeez!, She drooled uncontrollably,,
“I feel like k!ss!nghim so ha-rd ” she thought, pu-lling up her Sk-irt and rolling a piece of her hair on her pointer f!nger
BB smiled when she saw Drew, feeling too good to be here
“Is this how it feels when you get to eat your best food after a long period of hunger?” She smiled again and Drew’s eyes suddenly met hers,,
Drew flin-ched and his eyes took over his face
“Ugly wacko?”
“Irritating toad” she sm-irked and win-ked, bit herl-ips before starting to bounce into the clas-s to find herself a seat.
“I’m so dead” Drew muttered
*******
MM group of companies**
Austen helped Nikita out of the car in front of the company and she inhaled the new air
“The building was painted lemon and white” he said
“Thanks for telling me that” she replied and he held her hand, Interlocking it as he led her in,…
Ray smiled, following behind and his guards joined too
Austen watched her steps so she won’t bu-mp on anything, everyone stared, the staffs won’t stĀ©p staring till they got to the elevator and rode it to his floor,,
Coming out of the elevator, he c@mĀ£ face to face with Jillian
“What are you doing here?” he queried
“This is still my husband’s company” she replied, walking closer
” I know, but your movements should be limited to your husband’s office, this is my floor” he replied
” You dare sl@p my daughter?” Jillian said
” She deserved it and this is past 8, i have things to do” he said and made to leave but Jillian held Nikita’s second arm,,
“The illegitimate son found a lover?” She mocked
“How dare you hold her!” Austen yelled, taking her hand from Jillian
“What if I take it out out on her, seems you value her” she said, looking at Nikita who’s wondering what’s happening, trying to process everything in her head
“Don’t tĀ©uƧh her” Austen glared and Jillian raised her hand to Nikita’s face but Austen held it
“You’re overstepping your boundaries” he said and Jillian immediately raised the second hand to sl@p Nikita again,,
Austen covered her and the sl@p landed on his cheek instead, the spĀ©t turning red immediately..
