Episode 3
By: Faith Lucky.
Bethel’s Pov:
I cu-mpped my chin in my hands and tried to st©p myself from screaming.
Oh my God!!!
Ryan actually pas-sed the first test!
Is this a dream?
He pas-sed the test swiftly. Oh, my gee!
Now, it’s two more to go. I can’t believe this sh*t really works.
Ryan’s Pov:
I stood at the balcony with the phone over my ear.
“Yes, McCarthy, I know” I said, tiredly, tou-ching my forehead.
“And why the hell aren’t you here, yet? Lady K is alre-ady waiting”.
“Yeah, I’ll be there shortly. I lost track of time”.
“Really? Well, hurry up Ryan. You know how important this meeting is. You always joke around with everything” he grouse.
“Hey, I’m not joking, okay? I just miscalculated the time. I thought the meeting was scheduled for 8:30. I had no idea it was 8 a.m. I’ll be there in a moment” I replied, alre-ady heading into the house.
“And that reminds me, Ryan; do you remember the red suit you were putting on yesterday? I want you to repeat it today for meeting” he said and I st©pped walking and scoffed.
“What’re you talking about? Why the hell should I do that?” I asked with a crumpled look.
“Come on, Ryan. That suit was a killer. It made you look so manly and I love it soo much. Its gonna create a good impression at the meeting…”
“McCarthy, are you kidding me? Why on earth would I repeat a dress? You know me – I don’t do that sh*t. Besides, I have other lovely clothes to wear…”
“I know, Ryan; but I really love that suit a lot. Even my daughter had secretly taken a picture of you. Just for today, put it on; will you?”
“I’m not, McCarthy. And you know it…” I replied and continued walking into the house.
Bethel’s Pov:
I took my bath and dressed up and it was on my way out of the room that Ryan returned to probably get re-ady as well.
I went downstairs and joined the family for breakfast. And since I had taken tea alre-ady, I decided to eat just a little portion.
“How has school been lately, Bethel?” Ryan’s mum asked.
“Uh..it’s going on well. Our final exams will be coming up in a short while” I replied.
“Hm. Finally, someone will st©p having to wear uniforms to school” Lana said, ma-king me smile.
“Congratulations, dear”.
Just then, I heard someone clumping down the stairs and lifted my eyes to see it was Ryan.
Holy Molly!
I was taking in some wine, but the shock of what I saw made me spill it on my uniform.
“Bethel!” Ryan’s mom called, abacked.
My uniform was damn stained.
“Are you alright?” She asked, but I was too foxed to give a reply to it.
I looked at Ryan again and…what the hell?
I’m not dreaming, am I?
Ryan…he was putting on the same clothe he wore yesterday – the red suit!!!
Is this for real??
I opened my eyes wi-de in shock and stared at him crazily. There was no way it could be a dream.
But, Ryan…how’s it possible?
He doesn’t repeat clothes? How’s it possible he pas-sed the test? It seemed impossible to me.
Oh God;
“Good morning, mom; Good morning dad” he greeted when he got to the dining.
“Yeah, morning”.
“Good morning, love. How was your night?” His mum replied in an endearing tone.
“It was fine. Thanks” he stated and headed for the door.
“Ryan, aren’t you…”
“I’m not hungry”, he cut her off and walked out of the room.
Immediately, I stood up with my bag.
“Are you done eating? ” Mrs Winthrop asked.
“Yes ma’am. Thanks. Bye”, I said and hurried off.
I ran after Ryan and caught up with him just when he was about entering into the car.
“Ryan!” I called and he st©pped to look at me.
He was trying to bu-tton his wrist bu-tton.
“Yes?’ He replied.
“Um…sorry to interrupt you. But….I just wanted to ask. Wasn’t this the same suit you were putting on yesterday?”, I asked.
“Yeah – is there a problem?” He asked and I gulped nervously.
“Um…Of course, not. I was just wondering.. I…I thought you don’t repeat clothes?”
“Well…something c@m£ up and I had to break my rule. Its just this once and I’m sure it won’t happen again”, he replied and entered into the flashy SUV jeep which had alre-ady been opened for him.
I stood like a stature and watched as the cars drove out of the building.
Oh, my God!!!
I brou-ght out my phone from my bag and dialed Nicole’s number.
She picked at the third beep.
“Hey, girlfriend!” She beamed.
“Nicole,” I quivered on the phone.
“Ryan just pas-sed the first two tests!”
2/3
Lady K’s Pov:
I sat comfortably on the couch and waited for Ryan to arrive so we could leave for the meeting together.
I was just pla-ying games with my phone and was feeling bored alre-ady. I’d been waiting for close to an hour now.
Not long after, my second phone beside me started ringing and I checked and discovered it was Judy calling.
Huh? Judy? Royce’s sister?
I can remember the last time we spoke. I thought she was avoiding me?
Why the hell is she calling me now?

Episode 4
Nicky’s Pov:
“So, you mean Ryan pas-sed the first two tests?” Nicole asked as we sat next to each other in the clas-s.
“Yes, Nicole. And its so shocking. It’s happening just like I told him about them. Or could it be possible he over heard us when we were discussing it?” I asked.
“Of course not, Bethel. Remember he wasn’t even at home when I left.”
“Gosh! Then does it mean Ryan and I are really meant for each other? He’s just pas-sing the tests without stress”.
“Hm. Anyway, he still has one more to go – getting you the gold colored n£¢klace. But are you serious he made you breakfast? That’s incredible”.
“Yes. And I also Can’t believe it myself…”
“Hey girls” someone interrupted the conversation and I turned to see it was Shirley.
“Hi” I replied.
“Good morning” Nicole also said.
“So, what are you guys talking about? Is it something I should know?’ She chuckled and sat on Blair’s seat in front of us and sat in such a way she could face us.
“Why have you been skipping school?” Nicole asked.
“I mean, it’s more like you come once in three days”.
“Oh, that” she paused and laughed.
“Well, its nothing serious. I just…have more important things to do”.
“Really? So, you have things that are more important than your education?” I asked.
“Yeah. But don’t worry. I’ll start coming regularly from now on”.
“Well, if you like. It’s not like you’re doing us a favor anyway” Nicole said and she chuckled.
Just then, the door opened and the ABC girls walked in.
Shirley didn’t realize she was sitting on their seats and before Nicole and I could warn her, the ABC girls were alre-ady there.
“Hey, ugly pumpkin; you’re on my seat” Blair taunted, ma-king Shirley turn to look at her.
She scoffed and stood up.
“What did you just call me?” She asked.
“I’m sure you heard her. She doesn’t nee-d to repeat herself” Alma replied and Blair grinned.
“You…really wanna know what ugly looks like?” Shirley asked.
“Well, its something like this” she added and within the twi-nkle of an eye, landed a heavy sl@p on Blair’s face.
Whaaaat?
“Oh,my God!!!” Blair skrie-ked and held her cheeks.
“How dare you???”, Cheryl asked and immediately started pu-lling Shirley by the hair.
Alma also joined but surprisingly, Shirley was too strong for them and she pushed both of them to the floor.
Are you kidding me?
The clas-s had alre-ady become obstreperous as all the students started drawing near, ma-king a hell of noise.
Immediately, a teacher ran in.
“What the hell is going on here?” She asked with a rasp of anger
Alma and Cheryl were alre-ady on their feet and were standing beside Blair.
“Are you actually fighting? In clas-s? And this early for Moses’ sake!” She half yelled.
The entire clas-s had become tranquil.
“Four of you, follow me to the Principal’s office right away. Now!”, she snapped and started walking out of the clsss and Shirley and the ABC girls followed her behind.
Nicole and I looked at each other in surprise.
Geez! Are you kidding me? So, that Shirley girl is actually this powerful?
She was capable of beating up three girls at a time.
“Incredible” Nicole mouthed and I laughed.
Well, serves the ABC girls right.

Ryan’s Pov:
“Gosh! That was so tiring” Lady K grouse as we climbe-d down the Stairs together.
I just chuckled and didn’t say a word.
The meeting had just come to an end after five boring hours.
“But, I don’t think I’m in support with Paul’s manager. I mean, they can’t just toil around with everyb©dy’s feelings” she said.
“Well, whatever decision they make, its none of my business” I shrugged and she laughed.
We finally got down the long stairs to the first floor which was a big shopping mall.
“Awwn. Isn’t this beautiful?” Karen beamed as she ran to a pretty dress which was displa-yed on a manikin.
“You should know I won’t wait for this”, I told her and continued walking, leaving her to admire the dress.
Just when I was close to the door, I saw something that gr!pp£dmy attention.
Wow!
I paused and moved backwards to take a proper look.
It was a show glas-s containing pretty n£¢klaces.
I couldn’t tell why, but they just caught my attention.
“Do you nee-d any of them, sir?” One of the attendants walked up to me and asked, wearing a broad smile.
“Uh…Open it let me have a proper look” I said and she opened the glas-s immediately.
I took out two of the n£¢klaces and admired them – a gold color and a silver color.
Maybe, I should get one for Bethel. I haven’t really gotten her a gift aside that car. And I think the n£¢klace will look good on her.
Hm. But which color should I chose?
The gold color or the silver color?

Bethel’s Pov:
I got home feeling really tired and hungry. Well, I guess it’s because I had to spend extra hours studying with Kyle.
I don’t really regret anyway because its of great help to me.
Mehn; that guy’s a genius.
I took my bath and found something to eat and after which, decided to take a nap since I was so frazzled.
I had alre-ady la-id on the be-d and was about closing my eyes to sleep when the door opened and Ryan c@m£ in.
Oh!
My heart leapt immediately – unexplainably.
Seeing that cute young guy that every lady’s dying for.
Hm.
“Good evening” I greeted him as I sat up on the be-d.
“Hey, wats up?” He asked genially.
Hm. But looks like someone is gradually becoming friendly.
“I’m…fine” I drew my reply and moved my hair backwards.
He paused and brou-ght out a small jewelry box from his pocket.
“Here; got you a little something” he said as he proffered the box to me.
What?
My eyes beamed and I left the be-d immediately.
“You…You did?” I stuttered.
“What is it?”
“Well…just a pretty n£¢klace I saw at the mall” he replied as I collected it from him and afterwards, he left the room.
Oh my God! I’m not dreaming, am I?
Ryan…Ryan bought me a n£¢klace.
The last test!
But Oh God! It has to be a gold colored n£¢klace.
What if he pas-ses it? Then…that means we’re really meant for each other.
My hands shivered as I held the box. I felt so scared and anxious to open it. The thought of it alone made my heart beat like a p@rty drum.
Would it be a gold colored n£¢klace? Oh God!
This was the last test!!
I took in a de-ep breath and finally decided to do it.
And slowly, I opened the box…
