“That crazy girl called Maureen” John spat, leaving the bathroom, soaking wet.
Being wet makes him more handsome and even cuter.
Plus, his chest is an extra. Its so d@mn Șëx¥ and manly.
John changed quickly and grabbed Hus phone before bumping his body on the bed.
Immediately, he connected his data, messages and notifications started flocking in.
He smiled and went to his message box. The latest one was from ‘Green Shadow’
“Green shadow? Who the heck is this? When did we become friends here?” He thought and clicked the name which directed him to the chat room.
*Hey, I got something you would love to hear. You can send it around the whole planet if that pleases you*
John arched his brows and tapped play on the audio sent to him.
He placed it against his ear and listened.
And for every sentence he heard, his eyes widened.
“I was right then?” He muttered.
“Those two are in a fake relationship?? A contracted one for that matter?? But why??”

Jade was the only one awake in that particular room. She couldn’t sleep.
“I’m regretting not posting it world wide as mentioned. I was just scared that it would be investigated and I would be exposed. I’ve seen movies like this. Someome posting things under disguise, and alas, the person will be revealed in the end after thorough investigations”
“I hope John posts it for people to hear. Cause if he doesn’t, I’ll be forced to post it myself and I don’t care about the aftermath”
THE NEXT MORNING**
SHANNON’S DUPLEX**
“f_ck” Shannon Mõ@ɲed, like a little baby. She was precisely in pains.
She opened her drawer and fished out for her drugs. She finally saw it and opened the lid.
Then, threw 3 pills into her mouth. She took the bottled water on top of the drawer and drank it.
“d@mn. It hurts like crazy” She muttered, weakly and touched her jaw.
“Ouch” She winced.
“I’ve got fever too” She thought, with a sigh.
“That son of a b!tch. He just left without a word? Hmm…I just hope he’s fine…where ever he is though” She said, and faced the laptop on her bed.
She suddenly got an email and her eyes widened.
“Could it be from the clinic?? He’s back??” She thought and quickly went into her gmail.
She checked it and her eyes widened.
She gasped and covered her widely opened mouth.
“Ouch” She Mõ@ɲed.
She rubbed her eyes to see if she wasn’t dreaming.
The application and all, she sent to the textile company in Germany was a success.
Sje was given the honor to work as a director in one of the branches there.
She was also given the opportunity and grace to resume work, 55 days from then or her post as the director will be withdrawn.
“Thank goodness. Germany, Here we come.” She muttered, almost shedding tears of joy.
She ran to Liam’s room quickly and carried him off the bed.
He was still sleeping.
“Oh my Liam! Oh my Liam!! My baby Liam!!” She sang happily, dancing.
“Mum…Lemme sleep” He Mõ@ɲed out tiredly.
“Oh yeah, sorry. Was excited for a second there” She whispered and laid him down.

“Wow. So this is over?” Maureen whispered, as they slowly walked to the bus waiting for them.
“Swears. It was just yesterday when we were still moving in” Desmond said.
“It was fun though” She smiled as they entered the bus.
More people started walking out of the lounges around, entering the different buses, assigned for them.

“Jayden? Mind if I go in?” John asked.
“Can’t you sit here?” Jayden asked back, tapping the vacant seat close to him.
“Nah. I’ve something to tell Whitney. Lemme just go in” John answered.
Jayden looked at Whitney who had a confused look on her face.
“And what’s that about?” He questioned.
“I want her to help me in recording and filling this. Haven’t done much and I’ve to submit it to Mr Daniels immediately we get to school” John replied.
Jayden sighed.
“Sit close to me. I’ll help you”
“Don’t bother. I want Whitney” He protested and paved way for himself, forcefully.
“Who ever made this a 3 seater bus shouid be hanged” Jayden said. lowly with a small scoff.
John went past Jayden and Whitney and sat close to the window.
“What’s up?” Whitney asked.
John only.smiled, shortly.
“So, I was right then?” He whispered.
“Huh?” She could only utter.
“Listen to this music and tell me what you think” He winked and shoved his ear piece into her ear.
*
Her eyes widened and she swallowed hard, anxiously and nervously.
She took down the earpiece before it could get to the end.
“How…how did you get this?” She inquired.
“Some shadow thingy sent it to me via fb. What’s up? Is this relationship fake?” He asked, lowly.
She swallowed again, and looked down.
“I can explain”
“Answer the d@mn question. Yes or no??”
She inhaled.
“I…I don’t know how to explain this”
“Gosh. How did that green shadow find out. I guess he or she was there at the party thay day. That person is f_cking close and so ruining my plans” She thought.
“Okay then. So, I’m guessing you two now like each other, while trying to fake date and do this contract relationship of a thing”
“Sort of”
Jayden took down his head phones and looked at them.
“What are you two talking about by the way?”
“Nothing actually. Just this summer bteak stuff” She shook her head, flashing a smile.
He nodded and wore it back on.
“So, what are you gonna do now? You guys are honna get exposed soon or later. I’m wondering why you went ahead with this…thing you both are doing” He said.
Whitney sighed and glanced at Jayden.
“I know what to do” She whispered.
“What?” He asked.
“We need to break up”
“What?” John said.
“If this green shadow posts it online…People would taunt and jest us. Everything will be f_cked up. At least, for the sake of Jayden since in gonna still leave either ways. Can’t let him bear the pain alone” She thought.
“My mum will also find out if this recording gets out. That social media freak! And then, we have to leave Washington since this fake relationship is her only reason for her stay here”
“It’s better I end it quietly now and leave…. I so h@ťě attachments” She thought, and bit her lower lip.
“Let’s just wait till tomorrow…Its gonna be over. Everything..Even, I and Jayden” She thought and glanced at Jayden who seemed to be smiling at her in the first place.
