Alexa bec@m£ frightened by her words. Her thoughts c@m£ once again ma-king her anxious and nervous. However, She tried to maintain herself. She shifted her eye pupils to where Krystal Mia’s f!nger was which was resting on the edge of her ear. She sl@pped her f!nger away and gave Krystal an annoying look.
‘What do you think you are doing?” Alexa scoffed.
“Don’t bother hiding it” Krystal smiled
” I don’t know what you are talking about. St©p being absurd” Alexa cautioned.
“Well.. Girl, It’s better you st©p feigning ignorance” Krystal advised with a smile.
“Hey. St©p calling me a Girl. Mind your speech” Alexa warned. Krystal chuckled loudly and instantly stretched her hand towards Alexa’s che-st.
She gr@bb£d and squee-zed her left brea-st. Alexa was shocked by her act and sl@pped hand away.
“Do you want to die?” Alexa yelled
“Sssh! Keep it down,, What if the guys hear?” Krystal laughed
“Do you think this is funny?” Alexa growled
“A bit.. I was just trying to check something. I was right after all”
“Don’t you think you are being too stupid!..YES! YES! I’m a girl, So what? You gonna tell on me?” Alexa asked almost yelling. She was really furious.
“No. I’m not gonna do that… Still, I wish you all the best concerning your feelings for him and I guess he likes you too. He might think he’s crazy. Turning g@y?” Krystal smiled
“What? What’s this–
“What’s your real name. It’s not Alex since you aren’t a girl… Wait, Let me guess. Alexa?” Krystal whispered cutting her short.
“Whatever. re-ad myl-ips–I. Don’t. Care!”
“No. I don’t care either. I’m just wishing you the best, It’s not that bad”
“I’m gonna take my leave now. It was nice meeting you” Krystal added leaving.
“Wait! How… How did you know?” Alexa asked which st©pped her from going any further. Krystal turned her head behind and gave a friendly smile.
“I did’nt get these sharp eyes for nothing. Oh, if you are worried the others would find out, Don’t be. They aren’t gonna know. Oh, especially Ethan. He’s not concerned about people…Also, Don’t be jealous too…I’m not gonna steal him. He’s all yours” She responded laughing.
Alexa smiled as she watched her take her leave.
“Excuse me!” Alexa called. Krystal st©pped and looked at her again.
“Huh? Can I get your autogra-ph” Alexa asked removing her gaze embarras-sed.
“Yeah. Why not, Hold on, Uhhh…Here…Here you go” Krystal smiled giving her a piece of paper with her autogra-ph which she took immediately from her jacket pocket.
“Huh? I thought I to-re it, Or Is’nt this the second one? Do you normally carry Autogra-ph notes with you all around?” Alexa asked opening it. She gave a warm smile after seeing the content.
“No. I made two for you”
“Why?”
“I was figuring you would like me than expected” She replied laughing. Alexa returned the laughter.
“Thank you …..unnie” Alexa said. Krystal smiled and gave a nod.
“It’s no big deal, Anyways… Fighting!”
“Fighting!, Goodbye.. I hope we see again” Alexa waved. Krystal waved from behind and left throu-gh the door. Alexa sighed de-eply and smiled after looking at the mirror.
Suddenly, The door flunged open and Alexa quic-kly turned her head to see the person coming in. She smiled when she saw Krystal Mia.
“Unnie? You haven’t gone yet?”
Krystal Mia shaked her head.
“I wanted to tell you something”
“What?”
“Don’t ti-ght£ñ your che-st too much”
“What?”
“I felt it when I squee-zed your brea-st,The bandage? ” Krystal laughed. Alexa looked at her and joined into laughing too.

“Ken? Can we talk?” Alexa asked pushing her face a little out of the door.
Ken who was laying down on the be-d, quic-kly sat down startled. He swallowed ha-rd and nodded.
Alexa gave an awkward smile and walked towards him. She sat down on the be-d close to him but Ken wasn’t comfortable. He shifted a little further from her. Alexa sighed and looked at him.
“I’m not gonna ask you how you knew but I want you to keep it a secret from Ethan” She said. Ken looked at her.
“Ethan?” He asked. She nodded and looked at space.
“What about Eric? Shouldn’t I keep it a secret from him too?”
“There’s no nee-d for that”
“What? Why?”
“He knows alre-ady”
“Huh? Since when? How?”
“A long time ago. Flora told him about me since we’re in high school”
“Oh. I see”
“Yeah”
“No wonder I felt that way” Ken whispered. Alexa looked at him confused.
“How?” She asked
“I felt weird when I was with you… I couldn’t explain it..I always felt my heart beat for you then”
“What?” Alexa asked shocked.
“Yeah. To the extent of thinking I was g@y”
“Huh? What the–??”
“But don’t worry. I’m trying to impress someone” He smiled facing the floor.
“Who?”
“It’s a SECRET”
“Hmm.. So, you had feelings for me then?”
“Yeah. Somehow? I guess”
“Wow”
“My heart changed now. I’m beginning to like someone…Hasn’t it happen to you before?” He asked
“Huh?”
“Hasn’t your feelings changed before. Your heart?. Maybe you liked “BOY A” then your heart started beating for “BOY B”. Later on, Your feelings for “BOY A” slowly begins to fade till its vanishes?”
“Huh? Ssh! It’s a SECRET too!” Alexa replied. They looked at each other and laughed.
“Okay! Softball, I’m gonna keep it a secret”
“Really?”
“Yeah”
“Thank you so much! I appreciate!”
“It’s fine. Not actually a biggie! So, Huh..What’s your name? Your real name?”
“Alexa…Alexa Lynn” She smiled
“Nice name. It’s nice to meet you Alexa”.
She laughed at his statement.
“Nice to meet you too Ken” She replied
“But Softball?”
“Huh?”(Contact Rikki on WhatsApp +2348168354463 so you can be added to our WhatsApp group ❤️?)
“You know I almost turned g@y because of you?” He laughed. Alexa laughed too.
“Maybe?” She continued laughing.
“So… Don’t be surprised when Ethan turns g@y because of you”
“Huh?”
“Yeah. He isn’t a fan of that but I won’t be surprised if he does. You have a girl’s heart after all”
“Hmm.. Do you think it’s possible”
“I’m just guessing?”
Alexa laughed again.
“But Ken?” She called
“Yes?” He answered
“How do you think Ethan would feel if I reveal who I truly am?”
“Hmm.. To be sincere, Ethan isn’t gonna be happy….You know he’s quite cold and harsh. So, I think he’s gonna feel bad and betrayed after trusting you”
“What? Oh Goodness”
“It’s better you keep it a secret till you st©p working here because I think he’s gonna res£nt you” Ken replied sadly as Alexa sighed with sadness.
“Oh right. The pad!” Alexa yelped
“Oh..i almost forgot, Where’s it?”
“I left it in the bathroom”
“Oh. Leave it there.. I’m gonna get it later” Ken replied as they both smiled.
*******(THE POLICE STATION) *******
“Firstly, We’re gonna check the civilian CCTV c@m£ra first” Alicia suggested.
“Goodness! We’ve checked that alre-ady” Murphy replied angrily
“I just wanna check something. What if you actually missed something?”
“Geez! You’re so annoying! Do you think we’re bad on our jobs or what, Hey.. Can you bring the flash drive in my cu-pboard plea-se?” Murphy asked a cop who obeyed and returned with it. Murphy collected it and brou-ght out his l@pt©p. He fixed in it and operated the l@pt©p by pressing few keys.
Alicia bent closer to him and furrowed her eyebrows. She didn’t want to miss the slightest detail. Her father was also there.
Finally, He started the video. It clearly showed when Laura’s car hit her father and drove away. It st©pped miles away and st©pped. They kept watching.
Laura c@m£ down from the car and walked towards Mr Lynn who was laying on the floor. She bent down after reaching him, checked his heart beat and pulse, ran back to the car and it drove off.
“Did you see that?” Murphy laughed
“Yeah. I did”
“Wow. Now you know I’m right! Ha Ha Ha!”
“Didn’t you notice what I noticed?” Alicia chuckled.
“What?”
“It’s better you reverse the video in order to see it properly”
“I don’t un-derstand,It’s her car!” Murphy said
“Laura? Didn’t you see her? She didn’t come out from the driver’s seat and she also didn’t go back in the driver’s seat place either…That means someone used her car, Someone else drove that car and hit my Dad and we are gonna find out who! Who knows? It’s might be someone we know or close by?” Alicia explained with a smart smile.
