🍇 Jenny’s pov 🧡
Am tired of deceiving myself saying I can get rid of my feelings for Dave, thinking I can ever forget about him, the more I see him , the more I become attra-cted to him despite the way he normally treats me.
I just don’t un-derstand this life things you want seems to runaway From you and also rejects you
While the things you dislike the most that doesn’t favours you, keep chasing after you like hell …….
Right now, am still contemplating on if I should approach him or not, cause the Dave I know of then is not the Dave of now, he has suddenly become a complete shadow of himself, I nee-d to know the problem now, even though I have this feeling that am actually going to be shunned, but trial is the best, why don’t I just try…..
Am pretty sure he’s gonna be in his clas-s cause I’ve been stalking him for a week or more and I’ve noticed that he is mostly in the clas-s
…………………………………………………
.
Walking into the clas-s, my heart beat begin beating fas-ter than usual but thankfully he was the only one in the clas-s.
He was at the back seat with all his attention on the phone in his hands and with an earpiece stocked in his ears …..
I still wonder why he is still in school cause it’s closing alre-ady, well I guess God arranged today to be my lucky day.
I walked slowly to where he was, it was like when he noticed my footsteps he looked at me for a while and then diverted his attention back to his phone.
I got to him and sat on the nearest chair to him.
“Hi Dave” I said then he re-moved one of the earpiece from his ear and stared at me.
“Hi” he replied turning back to his phone, jeez!!, That’s really rude, but it seems he is still listening to me cause he didn’t return the earpiece back to his ear.
“Uhmmmm….. I just wanted to say hi, since it’s been a long we’ve seen” I said to him
” Thanks” he replied without sparing me a glance
“Uhumm Dave” I called
“What” he replied staring at me angrily and that kind of startled me, he looked back at the phone in his hand not still minding my pres£nce
“Uhmm.. I just c@m£ to ask what the problem is, like I kinda noticed you’ve not been yourself for quite some days now and am really wondering if all is well” I said but I got no reply, but am definitely sure he heard me clearly
“Dave” I called, yet he still didn’t answer me
“Dave” I called again and he looked at me and suddenly spoke in an angry outbur-st
“Can’t you just figure out that your pres£nce here is a fv¢king disturbance to me?, I hate people who I interfere into what’s obviously not their business especially your type. I don’t nee-d your sympathy okay?, And if I nee-d one, I know where to get it from and it will definitely not be coming from you , so rise up and get yourself out of here” he yelled and I flin-ched in fear….
Wait.., isn’t this the same Dave that apologised to me some weeks ago?, Isn’t this the same Dave that said we should be friends?, What actually is going on here?….
“Dave I don’t un-derstand you, were you saying all those to me? ” I asked confusingly sad…
“I don’t know, just leave” he replied
“Dave what have I ever done to you?, tell me, what did I ever do to you?, Am I that wretched to you??, Do I stink to you?, Am I that useless… Look Dave, it’s high time I told you this, I’ve had enough of your insults, hateful words and also your fake apologies, I am human, I have feelings, why do you choose to treat me like this?, If you hate me that much, why don’t you just tell me to my face, hmm… I don’t even think I nee-d you to say it to me again, cause you’ve once said it before and now I know you mean it despite your apologies, I was just trying to be caring and to be a good friend, but I guess I crossed beyond my boundaries, I think I should get going, cause clearly, am sure that’s what you want now” I said painfully walking away
” No Jenny plea-se wait” he said behind me standing-up from his seat, but I didn’t answer him cause I’ve gotten enough of his insults alre-ady, damn!!
.

💘 Dave’s pov 💐
Jeez!!, Does my words hurt that much?, What have I done to?, Why did I talk to her like that, why are her words hurting me this much, what am I gonna do now?
Damn!!, I just nee-d to leave here now, cause I really feel bad, I am still trying to regain my friendsh!pwith her again but my anger just proved to be more useless than I thought it was
I picked up my bag, phone and headset, walking safe to the parking lot
…………………………………………………………..
.
About stepping into my car, Tyler met me, like he was also about
“Sup dude, how you doing” he greeted
“Am gud” I replied am not really in the mood for plea-santries
” You are really looking stressed up, what’s up with you? ” He asked
” Really?, I never noticed, probably it Shou be stress as you said”I replied
” So tell me what’s going on between you and Nelson?” He asked
“Nothing, why asking? ” I said
” St©p the lies Dave, you are hurting that girl, Anna should be her name.. you and Nelson enmity is all over the school, and she’s always sp©tted out as the inhibitor of you guys fight, Dave do something” he said
” That’s none of my business” I replied
” Did you just say none of your business?, For God sake Dave, you and Nelson has been friends for ages, even before I become you guys friends, why letting a girl come between you guys? ” He said
” Like I said, that’s none of my business, am just fighting for what I own” I replied
” Dave, did you just say you own? Common put this to a thought, do you really think she loves you, do you really love her? Or you are just attra-cted or infatuated by her?, Or is it just pity you feel for her?, Think about that Dave”he said
” No nee-d to think Tyler, you can get your answers from Google”I replied
” Chill Dave, this isn’t a fight, I just c@m£ for peace” he said
” Peace??, On whose side are you anyway?” I asked
“Am on nobodies side but the the side of truth” he replied
” Then you don’t know the truth” I replied
“Look Dave, I Know you might be In love, but when you are in love, you really nee-d to learn to let go for the sake of peace” he said and I chuckled
” OMG!!, Look who is giving a love thera-py, the pla-yer, oh what a great change” I said
” Look Dave, you just have to listen to me” he said
” If I nee-ded a love thera-pist, I would have hired a professed one, and it will definitely not be you, so fv¢k off” I said getting into my car angrily
” Hey dude, this isn’t a fight” Tyler said from outside, but I zoomed away angrily, everything sulks for me..

💔 Annabelle’s pov 🎀🎀
Walking throu-gh the lonely hallway , I heard my voice from a voice I wasn’t expecting to hear my name from till I leave this school… Maybe it isn’t her voice, well it’s just to confirm……
And yeah!, My thought was right, it was Natasha, she walked to me looking wait harmless, calm and trouble free….
“Anna, I have to talk to you” she said calmly when she got to me
“Me??, About what?” I asked
“About your relationsh!pwith Nelson” she said and I stared de-eply at her
” I don’t think you get anything to say ap@rt from all those your threats” I said
” Anna, I’ve been holding this in for a long time, and my spirit is hunting me de-eply to tell you the truth” she said
” What truth” I asked surprisingly
“Anna, someone placed a bet on you” she said and I stared at her surprised
” Me??, Bet on?, By who?, When?, Why?” I asked troubled eager to hear what she wants to say
” By Nelson” she replied me
“Nelson?” I asked surprisingly
“Yes Nelson, he had a bet with some guys which he didn’t want to loose.. the guys asked him to propose to you to be his girlfriend being the school freak. Am serious Anna, I and Nelson are still together d@t!ng, he just begged me to bear with him, we are still together Anna, you’ve been pla-yed”she said and I chuckled before replying her
” You could had planned something better than this, the Nelson I know can never do such a thing, so go and formulate a more better lie” i replied
” Look Anna, you really nee-d to believe me, Nelson doesn’t like you talkless of loving you, all that happened right from when Nelson broke up with me was all a plan,… Nelson’s next line of action is to dump you very soon, all my vices towards you were all planned Anna, Nelson never loved you” she said and I shook in fear of that
” How do you expect me to believe you, you have no evidence” I said
” Oh!, I have, a lot than you think, I s£nt some to your phone today before approaching you, but I guess you haven’t seen it, take a look at this” she said showing me a piece of video in her phone..
I stared at it and it was Nelson, Dave Tyler and two other guys I don’t really know in the video
“Nelson is gonna loose on this one” Tyler said in the video
” Am gonna do it, watch me, I would get her, watch me, I have never loosed a bet” Nelson said and they laughed mockingly
” And oh, remember, she must fall in love with you” one of the guys I don’t know in the video said
“Deal” Nelson said and the video ended, tears had alre-ady gathered in my eyes.
“How are you sure it’s about me, my name wasn’t mentioned” I said trying to sound bold
” Anna, st©p being a fool, or do you want more evidence” she said
” No Natasha, say no more, thanks for the information” I said
” It’s fine Anna, sorry once again” she said
” Am fine” I said walking away to a place to pour out my tear

💔 Annabelle’s pov 🌼 🎀
NEXT MORNING
.
Standing up from my be-d this morning was so stressful cause I woke up today with a strong ban-ging headache.
Things are just so complicated, I just couldn’t confront Nelson about what Natasha said cause I just didn’t have the power to do so.
He has been calling and texting from yesterday am sure it’s to know why I left without seeing him but I just couldn’t reply him, I just want to calm my nerves down to avoid saying or doing the wrong thing cause from that very moment Natasha pas-sed that information to me, am not sure I’ve been in my right s-en-ses….. If I had approached Nelson yesterday, am sure I would personally regret, this doesn’t happens often, I nee-d to find out the truth
I picked up my phone staring at Nelson’s picture with Natasha and also the video as tears dr!pp£dout of my eyes…
Hmm… Could this be true?..
‘you have to find out the truth Anna, confront him’ my inner voice said from within
But it was clearly seen in the video, what else am I confronting him about?
‘dont be a fish br@in Anna, find out the truth, don’t be so stupid to suddenly start trusting Natasha not as much a moment like this, and especially for the fact she was once his ex, she would do anything to tear you guys ap@rt, think Anna’ my inner voice tired again
But am not still convinced about it, could she have just fabricated a video of Nelson talking about a bet. It was so obvious, but one thing my name wasn’t mentioned there……..
Jeez Jeez Jeez!!!!….. What’s wrong with me?, Am literally talking to myself.
So this is what love is all about, our relationsh!pis just two weeks old for Christ sake and am alre-ady facing difficulties as this, this was the main reason I didn’t want to involve myself in a relationsh!puntil I was done with high school now look at me……….
I have final exams to write in the next one month, here I am sulking
‘Anna you just have to confront him, that’s the only way out” my subconsciousness fired at me
” Fine, I would confront him” I said wiping off the tears on my face
I tidied my be-d, and woke up Stella on her own be-d and she just stared weirdly at me
“What’s wrong with you?, You look like you’ve just been bitten by a snake” she said
” Nothing Stella, just go have your bath, today is a school day, you wouldn’t want to run late and mum said breakfast would be served soon so just face your own business” I said
” Alright fine, if you like don’t tell me, am going alre-ady” she said standing up without tiding her be-d
” Yeah go, dirty girl” I replied her
“Dorrr……” She said walking into the bathroom slamming the door behind her
Mtcheeew…. Even Stella knows there is something up with me, gosh my face looks awful….
I took my birth, dressed up, went out for breakfast and I dashed out for school………………..
.
………………………………………………………….
Immediately I arrived school, the first thing I was welcomed with was laughter, they were staring at a flyer and then at me simultaneously and also laughing mockingly am sure that whatever is on that flyer ,is just about me and no one else…..
I was still looking around to figure out what they could be possibly laughing and mumbling about when someone suddenly threw a squee-zed paper to me, I picked it up and thankfully it was the flyer…. I opened it and what I saw written there shocked me to the marrow
It was written boldly in capital letters.. it says
“ANNABELLE (ANNA) JOHN WAS DUMPED BY NELSON JUST AFTER TWO WEEKS OF THEIR NELSON, AFTER HE DISCOVERED SHE WAS NO DIFFERENCE FROM A HIGH CLas-s who-re………… BEWARE OF ANNA”
And below was a picture of me bowing my head crying, this was how I was dressed yesterday, who could had taken this picture?? 😥😥
And that was what actually ended the flyer, jeez who could had been behind this, could this be what Natasha was talking about?? Who could be behind this?
Nelson!!
No, I nee-d to talk to Nelson, I really nee-d to …
I walked away quic-kly from the crowd looking for Nelson as they kept on laughing.
Mtcheeew…… Jobless evil set of people
…………………………………………………..
.
I was in the open field looking for Nelson, thank God no one is here, I just can’t take their laughter anymore…
I leaned on a near by frame when suddenly I heard my name called by just the person I wanted to really talk to, Nelson.
“Anna about this flyer I must tell you, I got nothing to do about it, am hell serious” Nelson said worriedly as he got to me with the flyer in his hands
” How am I supposed to believe that, the whole school believe it’s true Nelson, and that it was printed by you” I said painfully with my voice shaking
” Anna believe me, or don’t you trust me anymore? Can I ever do anything of such to you?, Can I ? , Anna this is just something fabricated by haters, believe me” he said squee-zing the flyer dropping it on the floor
” I promise you Anna, I would surely get to the person behind this and get rid of this fake news” he said coming closer to me but I move back slowly, but he held my hand gently
“What is it Anna” he asked worried
This is the best time to ask him about yesterday stuff
“Nelson we nee-d to talk” I said
“Talk?, About what?, I thought we just sorted this out now, what more to talk about?” He asked
” I know, but it’s something more important” I said and he roamed his eyeball surprisingly
“Really?, Then go ahead” he said after a while of silence
” Uhmm Nelson, do you truly love me?” I asked and he stared at me confusedly
“What kind of question is that Anna , off course I love you, I love you with heart mind, b©dy and even my sprit, I love you than you can imagine someone had ever loved you before, believe me baby”he said
” Nelson plea-se don’t lie to me” I said with a shaky voice
” Anna, what’s wrong with you?, Why are you doubting me? ” He asked sadly
” Explain this” I said showing him the video as he stared at me with utter shock
“A.. Anna …, Where did you get this from” he asked
“No nee-d to explain that Nelson” I said I walking away briskly from him but he was quic-k to hold me back
” Anna plea-se wait, don’t go, I can explain this, it’s just a misconception” then I turned to him paying my attention to him
“Anna this video would definitely be from Natasha, you can’t deny it, st©p trying to cover her up” he said and I was silent cause at that moment I just don’t know the right reply to give him
“Anna, I can’t believe this, why would you just believe what Natasha said, when you clearly know she’s of no good” he said raising his voice, but I could notice he was trying to suppress his anger
“Isn’t it obvious, why won’t I believe” I said in tears
“Anna, I can’t believe you don’t trust me” he said sadly
“Not that Nelson, you won’t un-derstand cause you aren’t in my shoes” I said sadly to him and his eyes softened a bit
” I will explain this to you Anna, this video was taken in grade 7 even before I met Natasha. We were pla-ying games when suddenly, Desmond, my friend, dared me to a bet to get Tiana, am sure you would know her she left this school beginning of grade 8 when her family were relocating. Though I had no interest in her, but I didn’t want to loose that bet and I was convinced and naive that she would fall for me, cause no girl could resist me cause then, uhummm I was no difference from a pla-yer, it wasn’t on you Anna, I can never do that” he said and I signed relived
” But you wanted doing it to Tiana” I argued.
“Like I said Anna, I was naive” he said
” So did you win the bet?” I asked cause I was actually interested in the story
“I didn’t” he replied
“Hun?.. but I thought no girl could resist you” I said
“Yes I thought so too, but Tiana was wiser than I thought, she pla-yed along with me until one day she suddenly bur-st the bubble, that she knows my motive, that it was wrong to pl@ysomeone’s feeling either male or female, that it kill within and hurts more than anything, she said I should put myself into someone being pla-yed, I put what she said Into consideration, and I realized she was really saying the truth, so I decided to put an end to that act” he said looking away from me, wow so this was all about the video, it’s really good not to always jump into conclusion
“Nelson” I called holding his hands smiling at him
“Bby” he replied looking at me
“Am glad you learn” I said and he smiled
“And an sorry for doubting you, I wasn’t just in my right s-en-ses” I said and he smiled at me again
” I un-derstand Anna, anyb©dy in your shoes would do that, an sure Natasha was behind this all, right? ” He asked and I nodded positively shyly….
” Well, ignore her, she’s just a looser” he said and I smiled
“I love you Nelson” I said and he smiled cutely at me
” I love you most Anna” he replied and I chuckled
.
……………………………………………………………………….
We walked I to the cafeteria holding hands cause Nelson insisted I go with him, since Eva is what Tyler, am sure he’s coming here cause of me cause he ha-rd ly used the cafeteria when it’s as full as this
Just as I stepped in, the mumbling started again when suddenly Nelson spoke up
“Hey guys, I would like to clear a confusing” he said and there was silence everywhere.
” The news you guys so this morning on the flyer was just fake fabricated by a lowlife looser , Anna and I are still perfect till now. Infact she’s the perfect girl any guy would dream of having” he said and k!$$£d my fore head as every one cheered
” The person behind those flyer, stooped more than low” he added leading me to a seat, just as we settled down, we heard the sound of a shattering glas-s cu-p, it was Natasha’s cu-p of jui-ce, it was like she intentionally threw it down, she angrily stood up walking out as Samantha and Christine followed behind like her set if dogs
Jeez!!, So it was all Natasha….

😠 Natasha’s pov 🎗️
Jeez!!, What the heck is this Anna using, why can’t I just defeat her once and for all and know she’s out of the way for me, she’s a pain on my back and I really nee-d to get her off…
She really must be using something strong, something really strong on Nelson, cause never had I ever seen him react so Much because of a girl, he even went ahead to disgrace me in front of almost the whole… The person behind this all is Anna, and she must pay for it cause I would never give up until I have Nelson back to myself…
My first plan may not had worked, but I as-sure them my next plan is gonna be a bluff, Anna should just learn to watch her steps cause if she isn’t careful, I won’t mind hurting her physically, even death can’t find it’s way to st©p me..
And God??, Am sure he is in full support of what I wanna do …
The only thing that can del@ymy plan is exam, it’s just four weeks from now, and as the school queen, I can’t afford getting low grades and again I must make it to college this year, and lastly I must graduate with Nelson standing right by my side….
Anna, won’t be able to make it to her own graduation, probably she would be lying on the hospital be-d or she would be at home sulking… L. O. L. That’s gonna be a great scene for me to enjoy …..
.

😍 Jenny’s pov 💐🏵️
Normal me, just that boring girl you know, weird, stupid, crazy and so on ..
Right now, am having a second thought on why Anna is called the school freak and not me… Am obviously the freak….
“That Dave, he thinks he is perfect, am do stupid to have approach him the second time, after my first experience with him, I should have known he doesn’t deserve care from any angle, he is nothing but a rude proud dumbas-s” I mumbled loudly to myself not looking at where am going to and due to that, I bu-mped f0rç£fully into someone which s£nt me landing on the floor with a loud thus
Jeez!;
Thank God the person I bu-mped Into didn’t fall, cause clearly, am at fault in the whole issue here, it was clearly my fault, I wasn’t looking, I was just talking to myself walking.. all because of that Dave, I’ve started displa-ying symptoms of a psycho.
I couldn’t even look at the person I bu-mped into cause I was the guilty one here, I just acted clumsy and he or she might shower insults on me.
I could still the person’s legs and clearly, it was a guy….
I stole a glance at the person and unfortunately for me our eyes met and it was Dave standing In front of me, I quic-kly look away covering my face with my hands …
Jeez so it’s Dave, did he hear what I was saying?oh no am dead
Will he insult me?, Yell at me or just walk away?
Oh plea-se just walk away.. plea-se plea-se plea-se…
I was still pleading in my mind when suddenly I felt his hand on mine,like he was supporting me to stand up or something, so I held on to him until he finally raised me up.
We were now staring at each other with no one saying anything, until I noticed him coming closer, closer and closer to me, I closed my eyes in fear of what he was about to do, until I felt his hand on my hair removing something probably dirt….
I blinked my eyes open staring at him ashamed, and he chuckled, what was I thinking, why the hell did I close my eyes what would he think of me now
Jeez!!, Am crazy
I shamefully picked up my pace walking away quic-kly but Dave was quic-k to hold me back
“Jenny…… am sorry” he said ma-king me look at him in a way I can’t describe
“I know I hurt you de-eply, but that was just for the fact that I wasn’t myself, I put all what you said to a de-ep thought and then I realized that you are the greatest friend I’ve ever had but I was just too proud to realize, I know you would be doubting my apology and you wouldn’t want to believe whatever I say this moment due to your first experience with me, but I promise Jenny, this time am for real” he said leaving me confused on what to say, ohh!!!, I think I know what to say now
“Dave I like you” I said to him without considering the consequence .. it took him a while before he replied me smiling
“Of course Jenny, I like you too” he said weirdly
Jeez!!, He doesn’t know what am saying
” Dave, do you like Anna?” I asked and his smile faded off Immediately
“I don’t un-derstand”he replied
“I mean, do you really like Anna?” I said
“Uhumm .. Jenny, this is a kind of confidential question which I don’t think I can actually answer now” he said trying not to sound irritated but I know he was cause my questions are really annoying
“Dave plea-se just answer me, do you really love Anna or you just feel pity for her cause I know how guys who are so caring and considerate as you could be” I said
” You know what Jenny?, I think we’ve talked enough for today , I really have something im-por-tant to attend to right now” he said stressing the ‘important’
” Dave , isn’t my question im-por-tant” I asked
” Look Jenny you nee-d to go home, it’s late alre-ady, maybe we would talk some other time” he said walking away and suddenly,my s-en-se c@m£ knocking into me
Jeez!!, Why did I ask him that question?, Am really freak and stupid Jeez!!
.

🧡 Dave’s pov 💝
What the heck is going on?, I don’t un-derstand.. what does she mean by she likes me?, Why is she so inquisitive?
And why all those questions about Anna?… something is really going on, Jenny got something in mind which I really nee-d to find out, but not now….I nee-d to think

EVENING
❤️❤️ Annabelle’s pov 🎀
It’s evening now and Nelson just drovee to the street before my house, he took me out on a d@t£, which I had to beg mum before she re-leased me I even used Eva’s name as a cover so she could allow me and it gratefully worked… though I feel guilty….
Nelson halted the car, dropped down and c@m£ to open the door for me while I dropped down leaning on his vehicle
“Why didn’t you just lete drop you at home, now you would have to walk one street back home”he said Standing I’m front of me
” I can’t risk it Nelson, I actually told my mum am going out with Eva and you look no way like her” I said and he chuckled handsomely
” Look Anna, when it’s comes to joining us together in marriage, it will be compulsory for your mum to see and know me” he said and we both ended up in a round of laughter
“Dreamer.. Nelson” I said and he stared weirdly at me
“I mean it Anna, you are mine, you know that” he said removing the string of hair on my face
“I Know that Nelson” I said smiling at me and he smiled back
” Alright Nelson, bye, love you, it’s late alre-ady,mum would be worried” I said walking away
” Wait Anna” he said and I halted
He c@m£ to me pe-cked me in myl-ips and held my hands
“Goodnight love, sleep ti-ght” he said
“Goodnight” I replied
“Alright run along, it’s late am watching you” he said
“L. O. L. Keep on watching, and also don’t forget to study when you get home” I said
” Study? ” He asked
” Yes study” I replied
” For what? ” He asked and I g@sped
” Exam of course” I replied and he chuckled…. Jeez!!, Can’t he just quit that!! ..
“Woah!! Anna that’s like four weeks from now” he said surprised
” That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t start studying now” I said and he smiled
” That’s for you bookworm, goodnight and Don’t kill yourself with books” he said and I laughed picking up my pace walking away
” Wait Anna” he said halfway
“What again Nelson” I said
“A k!ss?” He said and I hissed
” per-vert” I replied walking away quic-kly
.

🌺Three weeks later🌺
“Natasha plea-se don’t” Nelson begged behind her, she was in front of me holding a knife
” No Nelson, you don’t nee-d to plead on her behalf she has caused more harm than good, if you come any closer Nelson , I swear I would do it” she said with shaky hands, I was crying and sweating
“Natasha don’t do it plea-se, we can sort it out, let’s go talk pri-vately everything would go back to normal just don’t hurt her” Nelson pleaded
” No Nelson I won’t believe that anymore, it’s too late” she said wasting no time s£nding the knife to my stomach stabbing me
” Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh ” I screamed and I suddenly woke up sweating profusely, jeez!!, Thank God it’s just a dream, I t©uçhed my stomach and it wasn’t bleeding
Jeez!!, I was fv¢king scared, what kind of dream is this…. God plea-se let their be no negative impact, exam is just one week ahead, guide me… Amen

🍓 Annabelle’s pov continues 🌺🎀
I couldn’t Know how I look, but I could fathom that I really look horrible. That dream scared the hell outta me, and it seems it marked my day horrible.
God plea-se protect me from Natasha and her evil deeds, let all evil be far from me, Amen.
I was still thinking about the useless dream, when suddenly our principal, exam officer and secretary walked in, immediately, the noise in the clas-s died down.
“Good day students” the principal greeted
“Good day ma’am” we all replied in unison.
” Well, we all know that exam is coming up next week, which is your final exam p@rticularly in high school to college, your exam fees nee-ds to be paid. Those few people on scholarsh!phere have been covered and I believe the rest of you here have paid According to my records here” she said
” Yes ma’am” we all replied
Nelson is not in my clas-s, am in science dep@rtment while he is in business, hmm am sure that’s why he is not bothered about studying
“I won’t deceive any of you, this exam is gonna be complicated and I advise you all to study double of what you’ve been studying cause this exam is gonna determine your future” she added and they all walked out simultaneously
Jeez!!, I really nee-d to get this dream off my head, I just can’t think straight. I don’t think am gonna tell anyone about this dream, not even Nelson or Eva cause I don’t want any complications
‘calm down Anna, it’s just a dream’ my inner voice argued
Yes, it’s just a dream, I really nee-d to calm down .

🍇 Jenny’s pov 💝🧡
“Dave for the past three weeks now, I think you have been avoiding me and I think it’s should probably be because of the way I behaved the last time we met, anyb©dy in his or her right s-en-ses will be irritated by my behavior, I just wanted to make sure I apologise before exams start cause I might not be able to attend our graduation p@rty, Jenny” I re-ad the letter out for like the second third time now, I just hope am not shouting cause am in the front of the libr@ry..
Just as I turned, I saw Dave
“Jeez!!” I exclaimed cause I was startled….
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to startle you” he said
“Uhumm no problem, you… You heard what I said, right? ” I asked
” Yes Jenny, not to lie to you, I’ve been standing here for long… Sure you are writing that letter to me” he said and I nodded positively
“There is really no nee-d for that, cause am not angry or irritated, I thought you and I nee-d some space, so I just had to give you that gap, but during that period I realized that I…. ” He said not completing his statement
” You what? ” I asked
” I realized that I like you too” he said and I faked a smile at him
” Yeah, you told me that before”I replied still faking a smile at him
Then he c@m£ closer to me and held my hand in his also smiling at me, he’s really getting me scared, I don’t un-derstand why is he acting all lovey dovey
“No Jenny, I mean, you are the one I like” he said and my heart suddenly skipped a beat
“Me?, I don’t un-derstand you” I said still memorising on what he just said, could he really mean it?
“Jenny, since all this stuff started, I realized that you were the only one who made me smile, laugh and so on. You were the first girl whose words made me think so much putting me in a sober state, throu-gh out this conflict of Anna, I realized that the thought of you make me smile and forget about her and all the sad scenes am surrounded with, I try to push you away, but my emotions just won’t let me, I guess it’s true that what I felt for Anna wasn’t really true love but pity as everyone said. Cause I’ve never felt this way for any woman not even when I and Anna wee close friends, believe me Jenny” he said, I didn’t even realize there was tears in my eyes, I sniffed and wiped the tears off my eyes
“Uhumm Dave, I un-derstand how caring you are and won’t want to hurt my feelings, but saying this to make me feel better also won’t help at all, you don’t nee-d to try to make me happy or relieved, I promise I would get over this myself, am actually used to being a sulker, trust me Dave, you are a great friend, I know that, telling me this to make me feel better won’t help at all, thanks allot Dave, bye” I said away but he held me quic-kly
” Jenny, rethink this all over, how heartless would it be for me to tease you with such stuff as this, I mean it, my heart can’t just mislead me, I know what am saying, why are you finding it too ha-rd to believe me?” He said demonstrating, jeez!, What’s wrong with him!!
“Ohh… sorry Dave, but put yourself in my shoes, how will you feel or what would do your reaction if you find yourself in the situation I find myself in now” I said and he ruffled his hair in frustration
” Well…well … I’ll say…..I mean I will go home rethink want the guy said and realize he is telling the truth and I will also realize my feelings for him and give him a positive reaction or answer” he said and I felt like laughing, but my case now doesn’t call for such now
“We don’t match” i said and he stared weirdly at me
” What do you mean by that?” He asked
” Am from a poor background, my parents can’t even afford my school fees it’s my dad boss sponsoring my education and look at you, your dad owns this school rating the best and most standard in New York. Am like nob©dy Dave, Even when I told my sis about my crush on you, she told me it won’t be possible in years to come, and I believe that
“And who told you I care about that, you are someb©dy Jenny, you just have to believe in yourself, you are still young, beautiful, intelligent and bold, and am sure you gonna be someone great”he replied and I smiled and then silence took over between us
“Alright Dave, I would only believe you on one condition” I said
” Whatever it is Jenny” he replied
“You must make sure you are in good terms with Nelson and other people you’ve actually had a bad jam with in the cause of all these misun-derstanding” I said and he smiled
” Jenny, I love your charisma, I actually planned to do that very soon but you triggered to do it more sooner and I promise to probably that will as-sure you that am serious” he replied
” Hmm, Dave how am I sure you aren’t using me as your antidote for accepting your faith about Anna?” I asked and he chuckled
” No Jenny, that will be really crazy of me”
He said
” Hmmmmmmm… Am confused Dave” I said
“Don’t be Jenny, I mean it……… Think about it

I wonder if one week is not enough for Jenny to think, jeez!!, Girls, I could swear she liked me then , suddenly she backed out…
I really mean what I said , I have this weird feelings for her which I can’t explain, I’ve been feeling it since the first time we met, but I guess I was blinded by the love I thought I felt for Anna…
Jenny thought me a lot things this past few weeks, I Nelson and Tyler are back together all thanks to her, even Anna and I are now friends because of her, am really lucky to have her, just that I don’t her feelings….
I nee-d to see her,maybe she’s done with her thinking, I nee-d to go see her now, cause she’s always there during closing hours since last week, yh, am sure I would see her there…

🍓💝 Jenny’s pov ❤
Exam for today is over and right now am in the libr@ry cause I really nee-d to study before I go back to that house, cause am sure I won’t eventually have the time at. Home, cause am just like their house keeper, errand runner and so many disgusting horrible stuff. Sometimes I wonder why I was even born..
I’ve been here for the past two hours now, and I think I’ve re-ad enough, I can’t carry the burden of exams too much on me, I can’t kill myself I don’t want to end of talking sick after my final exams, how weird would it sound…
As I was pacinkg my books into my bag, someone unexpected walked, who would you think it is?, yeah!!, Dave of course
“Jenny we nee-d to talk now” he said
“Shuu…. Lower your voice, you are in the libr@ry I said and he stared weirdly at me
“Jeez!!, lady, no one is here ap@rt from you and clearly from what am seeing, am sure you are done” he said
“Really how sure you are” I said and he hit his fore head in frustration
“I don’t know ” he replied
“Really?, then we are’nt talking “I said standing up but he drew me back to my seat
“Okay fine, am 101℅ sure”he said and I chuckled
“There’s nothing like that, common say something meaningful ” I said and he sighed in frustration by the look on his face, yeah that serves him right, he has to go throu-gh all what I went throu-gh then, just to be his friend….
“Jenny plea-se am pleading with you, just give me this chance to talk to you, look outside, its about yo rain, you are delaying you and I Ok?, so plea-se let me talk, whatever hurtful thing I’ve done in the past that is still annoying you now, plea-se put that in the past okay? We –, have… To…. Talk ” he said stressing out his words
“Alright fine, you win, am all ears” I replied him
“About what we talked about the last time we met” he said nervously
“What about it? ” I asked In a questioning look
“I really meant what I said, truly”he said
“You said alot of things then, so I don’t really heave the idea of what you are saying, so plea-se, be more specific ” I said
“Jenny plea-se ” he pleaded
“Alright Dave, am serious now” I said
“Like I said jenny, you are the one I laugh, have you thought of it”he said living me in a confused state
“yh, but plea-se can you at least break down your explanation I don’t really un-derstand what you are really talking about ” I said
“What am trying to say is that.. I…. I…. I.. ” he said trying not to shutter but unfortunately he did
“You what? “I asked
“I love you jenny” he said and it was just like a bomb exploded right in front of me….. And then silence took over cause I had no reply to give him this very moment
“Dave I have to go, its about raining “I said hanging my bag walking out
“Jenny plea-se wait”he called and I halted while he walked to me
” I really mean it jenny, I love you”he said
“Uhumm… Bye Dave”I said walking out of the libr@ry, and just as I stepped into the open field, the rain c@m£ down with full f0rç£ like it was just waiting for me to step out
Still standing in the rain confused on what to do next alre-ady soaking we-t, I felt Dave beside me dripping we-t
“Jenny plea-se let me drop you home” he pleaded
“Don’t worry Dave, I would find my way home “I said sturbonly walking away but he held me back, I was alre-ady shivering In the rain
“Don’t deceive yourself Jenny, its raining freaking heavily and I can bet you won’t find a transport means back home, you are alre-ady shivering, you have to come with me if you don’t want to have a cold”he said and I finally agreed
“Con with me” he said and I followed him to his car, he opened the door for me, I entered and he closed it back……….
.
……………………………………………………………
The ride to my house was just quiet and cold , I was alre-ady we-t and shivering, and Dave Haven’t talked to me since we left school
“Sorry Jenny, am sure you are cold, I don’t have a jacket here with me, plea-se just endure, or will you follow me home?, My sis can help you get warm” he said
” Don’t worry Dave, thanks, we are almost at my house” I said and he didn’t talk again until we c@m£ to the front of my house, I wonder how he knew…..
“Thanks Dave, I love you too” I replied stepping out quic-kly, so he wouldn’t say anything
“Jenny wait” he called but I refused answering, I was alre-ady embarras-sed enough
.

1 week and 3 days later
AT SCHOOL
.
✨🍓 Annabelle’s pov 💔💘
I quic-kly picked up my ringing phone, hanging my bag at the same time, it was Nelson calling.
“Hey swii” I called
“Hi babe, I hope you are coming alre-ady, I’ve been waiting since, aren’t you done packing your books?” he asked
” Yh yh, am alre-ady stepping out of the clas-s” I said stepping out of the clas-s and I could swear I felt someone following me, but when I looked behind, I couldn’t find anyone, jeez!!, That’s suspicious.
“Anything the problem” Nelson asked from the phone
“Nope” I replied
“Better, I thought your silence means you want to change your mind about our d@t£” he said.
” Jeez!, Nelson why would I do such at thing” I said still walking
“I know you Anna” he replied
“Common Nelson, i made a promise and besides we are done with exams, I nee-d some space from studying, studying and studying and also I told mum I won’t be home early today and she agreed for the first time, maybe because am done with my final exam, and also Nelson, I owe you more than……………’
I was still talking when someone cut me short, covering my mouth snatching phone from me
“Anna” I heard Nelson’s voice called from the phone, but whosoever it was, hanged up the call instantly
.
……………………………………………….
The next thing I realized was finding myself in an empty abandoned clas-s which we haven’t used for more than a while with Natasha standing in front of me holding a sharp knife, the looks on her face alone s£nt shivers into me talkless of the knife she was holding.. I pinched myself thrice and I realized it wasn’t a dream, it was real!!!, Oh God, help me, let my dream not come to past
“Annabelle John, today is the day you face your fate, today is also the day you pay for your deeds” she said evilly
” What deeds, Natasha” I asked amidst fear
” I tried my best to show you that Nelson is a no go area, but you felt too big to realize, I guess you would come to your s-en-ses when you get to the other side” she said and my b©dy thri-lled up in fear
” Natasha, what have I done to deserve this?, Why would you want to kill me”I said almost in tears, I was helpless, it was only me and her, nob©dy or weapon to defend myself, God, save me!!.
“If I kill you swiii, I would have Nelson all to myself” she said
” And who told you, killing or stabbing me, would make him like you” I said
“Shut up, he would of course, when you are outta the way” she said and suddenly Nelson stepped in his eyes met with mine and then with Natasha
“What the hell is going on here?” He asked almost yelling
” Oh Nelson, thank God you are here, I want to make sure you are here while I end this bit-ch who tried to destroy our relationsh!p” she said boldly
” No Natasha, that’s wrong, plea-se drop the knife , let’s sort things out legally, leave Anna out of this and face me, don’t hurt her, let both of us go somewhere now and talk about this” he said coming closer to us
” No Nelson, don’t come closer, or else” she said bringing the knife closer to me while I shivered and whimpered in fear.
My eyes were alre-ady filled with tears, Nelson looked at me and before I knew it, when Natasha wasn’t looking, Nelson rushed to her struggling the knife with her, I was scared cause it was really a dangerous pl@ythey were driving to…
Nelson was still struggling with her when suddenly I heard a loud gro-an , my heart beat skipped several times cause I was sure it was from Nelson…..
I quic-kly rush to him before he fell cause he was alre-ady loosing balance, I studied him properly and it was then it dawned on me that Natasha had stabbe-d him…..
“No, no, no Nelson” I called shaking him but there was no response but he held my hands and blinked his eyes open
“Anna” he called in a whisper
“Hun, am here Nelson” I replied in tears
“Am glad you are safe” he said realeasing my hand loosing conciouness
” No, no no…….” I screamed with tears rushing out of my eyes,my clothes were alre-ady soa-ked in Nelson’s blood, we nee-d to do something…am helpless nob©dy is here, and I can’t leave him here like this….
I looked at Natasha, she dropped the knife in her hands shaking moving backwards, she was sweating seriously, but luckily for me, some people walked in including Dave..
“Dave hold her, she was the one who did this” I yelled and people rushed to her
” No it was an accident” she screamed in tears
“Nelson plea-se don’t do this to me” I said in tears….
