“Wha–What?” Barbara stammered as she blinked her eyes numerous times.
“What did you do this time around?” ru-by asked angrily.
“Sém… I didn’t push her, I swear!”
“But she just said it was you! You know this isn’t your first time, You’ve pushed her before”
Barbara nodded vigorously, She was frightened that her voice started to shake and her eyes started tearing up.
“Yes Sém… I did push her then, But I didn’t push her now! I swear, Please…. Believe me!”
“Barbara, It will be ha-rd to believe you, You’ve pushed her down the stairs before, You lied then but I just let it slide but now I won’t! Barbara, The school authority will hear this and have no choice to but to suspend you”
Barbara began to cry as she looked at Martha.
“Please, Tell her what truly happened, I even tried to save her”
Martha kept mute.
“Say the truth! You @$$hole!”!Barbara yelled.
“Hey! Barbara, It’s enough!” ru-by warned.
“Sém… Are you even a teacher? You really shouldn’t suspect people any how, Think twice!” Barbara yelled at ru-by.
ru-by stared at her as Barbara left and shut the door loudly.
“Sém? Are you alright?” Martha asked softly looking at ru-by who seemed to be in thoughts.
“Huh? I’m great, So… Are you okay now?”
Martha nodded with a smile.
“Sém… Can I ask a favor?”
ru-by turned to her. “What’s that?”
“Can you call Ryan… Tell him to come over to school, He should see me one last time before he leaves, As you can see, I’m not well… He should wish me fast recovery”
“Huh?….. But are you close to him?”
“Yeah, Just recently” Martha lied. ru-by nodded and texted him;
“Ryan… Martha is sick, She want you to come over to see her, This is her last request before you leave”.
*************
Ryan phone beeped and he checked quickly expecting a message on his readiness of his visa.
However, It was from ru-by. He was puzzled and quite amazed. When he opened the message,He felt confused and lost.
“What’s this? What’s my business with Martha?” He thought as he began to type.
He later se-nt a reply to her which says;
“Why? Sorry, But I can’t see her, I’m busy”
**************
“Oops!” ru-by said as she read the message.
“What did he say?” Martha asked.
“Sorry but he is busy so he might not come”
Martha angrily bit her li-ps.
“So this plan didn’t work, Well…. Time for plan B!” Martha thought as she stole a quick glance at ru-by.
***************
Marco and Ashley caught Barbara crying in a hidden corner, They both went to her.
“Hey? Are you alright?” Marco asked.
“I’m fine!” Barbara gushed at him as she cleaned her tears.
“What happened Barbara? I know you aren’t fine” Ashley said
Barbara turned to her and remembered what Martha told her about blaming Ashley.
“Is she innocent? Did I wrongly suspect her?” Barbara thought as she kept staring at Ashley.
“Hey?” Ashley called jo-lting her from her thoughts.
“Mind your business” Barbara finally said as she left them both.
“What wrong with her?” Ashley asked quite concerned and worried.
“I don’t really know…. But let’s ask Peter, He might know”
“Why ask him? He wouldn’t possibly know what happened! Have you forgotten? They aren’t dating anymore”
“Let’s just try” Marco said as they both walked down to the field.
***************
After meeting with Peter, They asked him what had happened and he explained everything to them.
“If she said she did’nt do it, I’m gonna believe her” Marco said.
“Well…. I do uhh… Believe her but I’m kind of confused” Peter honestly said.
Ashley was mute as she was kind of confused too.
“Martha isn’t a normal kid, She is awfully wicked…. You guys won’t believe me just yet but later, She will be exp-osed which will leave you guys shocked!”
Peter and Ashley stared at him quite confused.
***************
“Sém? Can I speak with you, Just spare me few minutes” Marco asked as soon as he entered the sick bay.
“Sure…” ru-by replied as she walked closer to him.
“Outside please”
“Not here?”
“Yeah”
ru-by then followed him outside.
“So? What’s up?” ru-by asked.
“It’s about Martha”
“And what’s….that?”
“Martha is the one lying here, Please… You shouldn’t trust her, She is the real vilian here”
“Oh…. Goodness, It’s enough already, Stop making this innocent girl feel–
“Sém! Don’t say I didn’t warn you, Just be careful please…… I heard Barbara has been suspended already?” Marco interrupted
“Yeah, She has…. Just for 2 weeks though?”
“That’s not good, She’s the innocent one here, Anyways…. Sém, The truth would soon be known,” Marco said as he left. He went to Ashley who was waiting for him.
“What did she say?” Ashely asked.
“She didn’t believe me” Marco replied
“Oh Geez! That’s really bad”
“By the way, Barbara has been suspended already”
“What? Why? Seriously, That bi-tch called Martha is something else, We nee-d to make sure she spills everything she did, Oh Goodness, No wonder Barbara was crying then, I nee-d to talk to her…. I really–miss our friendship” Ashley said as she sighed dee-ply.
**************
“Sém… Can you accompany me to the rest room?” Martha asked weakly as she tried standing up from the be-d.
“Yeah, Sure” ru-by replied as she @$$isted Martha by lifting her carefully from the be-d.
They both left and walked down the stairs, Martha then stopped for a while.
“Are you tired?” ru-by asked worried.
“No, Thank Goodness….No one is here, Now we can talk right?”
“What?” ru-by was confused.
Martha then stood properly without her @$$istance and faced ru-by, She smiled wickedly.
“Sém… Thank you for believing me but you are an actual fool? Do you know that?” Martha said as she giggled
“Wha–What?” ru-by asked confused
Martha scoffed loudly.
“Do you want to know what truly happened?” Martha asked.
ru-by looked at her puzzled. “I don’t un-derstand what you mean? Are you sure you didn’t hit your head somewhere or are you still sick?” ru-by asked quite worried as she tried to touch her forehead in order to check her temperature.
“I’m fine!” Martha yelled angrily slapping ru-by’s hand off her forehead.
“What has come over you?!” ru-by asked very scared now.
“Aren’t you curious? Cause I really want to tell you everthing” Martha chuckled wickedly.

(FLASHBACK ON HOW MARTHA REALLY FELL)
“I’m going to kill you!” Barbara yelled as tears left her eyes.
Martha chuckled wickedly.
“What are you waiting for then? Do it!” Martha whispered.
Barbara sighed dee-ply trying to calm herself down, She released her hand from Martha’s jersey and stared at her.
“I’m going to just leave you for today” Barbara said as she tried to leave.
“Urrgh! Goodness!” Martha thought angrily.
“Well, Barbara…. That means I’ve to do things my way” Martha said as Barbara turned back to her. Martha started walking backwards close to the staircase.
“Hey! Stop that, You might fall” Barbara warned.
Martha smiled and looked on, Still doing her thing,walking backwards slowly to the staircase which was quite dangerous.
Barbara gasped when she noticed Martha’s leg had already missed a step in the stair, which could lead to a great fall. She ran to Martha trying to save her by holding her hand but Martha wickedly dodged it and Suddenly, She fell down with a great thud! She hit her head badly that she became unconscious.
Peter later came and saw this, He was shocked and asked what happened, But out of shock, Barbara kept mute. She couldn’t say anything but rather looked at Martha who was at the other end of the stair unconscious.

(PREse-nT DAY)
“What is this?! Why are you telling me this!!!” ru-by yelled.
“I wanted you to know who you are now going to be dealing with…. You shouldn’t believe all you see, ru-by”
“What? Did you just call me by my name?”
Martha chuckled and moved closer to her staring into her eye ball.
“So? What are you going to do?”
ru-by sighed and looked back at her eye.
“I know who you truly are, At first, I was doubtful but when I saw your dad’s picture on your desk that day, I was surprised, I was like; Aah… So this is the lady, This is really her”
“What are you even saying? You are making me confused” ru-by said.
“You….. Don’t you remember me, Look at me well…. Don’t you remember who I am?” Martha asked as ru-by looked at her dee-ply.
“Who are you really?”
“Let me give you a hint” Martha said as she cli-cked her tongue loudly.
“3 years ago, When you were still a designated driver… You came to pick a customer who was actually Ryan’s dad–
“What? How did you know all this?” ru-by interrupted.
“Sssh! I’m not done talking…..I was that little girl that came up to you and said –

(FLASHBACK TO 3 YEARS AGO, EPISODE 1)
Just then, She felt something held her cloth. She looked and saw a young girl about 13 years holding her cloth and looking at her face dee-ply while smiling with her teeth exp-osed.
“Goodness!! You scared me!” ru-by said shocked holding her che-st.
“I’m sorry but I just wanted to tell you that you are pretty!” The girl said.
ru-by smiled.
“Excuse me?” ru-by asked suprised.
“You are so pretty that I’m jealous” The girl said again.
“Oh thank you… So, What’s your….
“Hey… What are you doing there, Come over here” A man shouted at the girl interrupting ru-by.
“Too bad, Well… I got to go, That’s my father” She said as she ran to him. – Ep 1.
***************
ru-by eyelashes moved up and down still staring at Martha.
“Were you the 13 year old little girl?”
Martha smiled.
“Yeah, Do you remember me now? I’m that little girl of yesterday and everything that happened 3 years ago, I remember it all and you know the most interesting and surprising pa-rt –
Martha paused as she looked at ru-by who was already frightened.
“Everything that happened then….. Was all–your fault” Martha whispered as she smiled dangerously.
