“Carina stop the drama” Melinda laughed, and Carina opened her eyes on the ground.
“Is it for real?, Ten girls?’ she said as Gigi helped her up.
“Even Kong Solomon didn’t do this much” Gigi said, and Melinda started laughing.
Flora suddenly appeared with Mrs Kat, and the door was broken down, but Leo is not in the room as expected.
Those who were already crying increased the volume of their tears, and Sydney joined in the crying this time around.
“What do we do?, He impregnated ten girls” Mrs Kat faced Flora.
“I’ll have to report to the cops, and the ten should follow me” Flora replied and started leaving.
The ten girls followed her, and Paisley kept crying as she joined them.
“How come I pity her?” Gigi said pathetically.
“You have the heart of gold, but I have a stone heart, I can never pity her, now she’ll know what pains feel like” Melinda replied.
“Me too, let’s go girls” Carina said, leaving with them.
“So… Paisley got pregnant for Leo too, maybe that’s her destiny” Winnie said beside Lexi.
They’ve been watching.
“Wh@ťěver, maybe it’s a good thing she left me” Lexi smiled and took Winnie’s hand.
“Let’s go” he said, and she nodded with a smile, following him.

Delaney came out to the back of the hostel and met Mavis sitting on a chair.
She walked to him and sat beside him.
“Delaney!” He said shockingly, and she smiled.
“Hi!, Sugarcane!” She waved, and he smiled.
“So sorry I couldn’t come see you at the hospital, my baby was sick too” she said.
“I heard about it, how’s she doing right now?” He asked.
“She’s fine, thanks for asking” Delaney replied, and he nodded.
“I hope Emma gets caught” he said.
“Me too” she replied with a loud sigh.
Silence took over for a while, then Mavis cleared his throat before facing her.
“Do you h@ťě me now?” He asked, and she blinked.
“Why would I h@ťě you?”
“Yunno…what I did to you and…
“I’m fine, and I understand you perfectly, so quit feeling guilty, Mavis” she interrupted, and he sighed.
“How come you forgive so easily?, Was your heart made of pap?” He said, and she laughed.
“That’s just my nature, I can’t fight it, and besides…. you’re the first person I talked to when I got here, still remember that moment in the restroom?, On the orientation day” she said.
“Sure, who’d forget?” He replied, and she smiled.
“I’m just so sorry that I can’t…. reciprocate your feelings…I…
“Stop talking about that, forget that I confessed to you, I don’t even deserve you” he interrupted, and she looked at him.
“Yeah, so please….let’s face the future and forget the dirty past” he said, and she smiled.
“It’s just so sad that I’ll eat ice cream alone from now on” he said.
“Another girl will come… for sure” Delaney replied.
“I want someone who’s just like you, but I bet that’s an impossible dream, so I’mma let it go” he said.
“I promise you’ll get someone like me, trust me” she said.
“As if” he said, and she smiled before standing.
“I’ll be going to New Caledonia for my break” she said.
“I don’t know where I’m going yet, I might just stay back” he replied.
“The guys are going to Nigeria, it’s a group trip, you should follow them” Delaney said, and he sighed.
“Let’s see about that”
“Bye!” She waved with a smile.
He smiled, and she walked back into the hostel.
Almost immediately, tears fell from Mavis eyes, but he started wiping them immediately.
“These darn tears” he sniffed.

Paisley wiped her tears when she came out of her car, and when she went in, she met Mrs Addams in the living room.
“Paisley is it true?, Ten students hot impregnated by same guy in your school, and he escaped?” She said, standing up.
Paisley started crying, and she walked fast to her.
“Why the tears?, Are you ok?” She held her arms.
“Mum…. I’m… I’m one of the… girls” she cried, and Mrs Addams arms dropped.
“What!”
“Mum I’m so sorry, I wasn’t thinking, I thought he loved me but he was only making a fool out of me, I’m sorry” she cried, and Mrs Addams smiled.
“Is this some…kind of… joke?”
“You’re pregnant?” Mr Addams said, coming in.
“Dad…” She sniffed.
“How dare you ruin yourself!, How dare you waste my efforts!” He shouted, and immediately he got the her, he slapped her.
“How dare you!!!” He shouted.
“What about you?, You once came home with another woman!, I caught you one week ago you shameless man!, You’ve been cheating on mum!, Pot calling kettle black!” Paisley shouted back, and Mrs Addams felt her blood drying up.
“Huh?” She said, and Mr Addams went mute.
“I know you sent that gangster to ki|| Delaney during Madelyn’s party, cos I saw you with him the day before the party, I saw you paying him, Delaney probably saw you with another woman and you were scared she’d spill it out, you’re an animal!!” Paisley cried bitterly, and Mrs Addams went down straight.
She passed out on the ground, hitting her head on the hard tile.
“Mum!!!” Paisley screamed.

“Hey baby!” Summer said happily, picking Naomi’s call as she walked out of the company.
“Hey boo-boo, how’s Australia doing?” Naomi and, and Summer pouted.
“Boring without you, and what the hell are you doing in Manila?, Come back already!” Summer replied, and Naomi laughed.
“Can’t believe this is actually coming from a girl who sold me for a car” she said.
“You took the car from me remember?, You sold it and bought a makeup kit with it you wicked Ɓîtçh” Summer replied, and Naomi laughed.
“I’m coming back soon anyways, I won’t let you die of missing me” she said.
“So full of herself, don’t even come again!” Summer snapped.
“Ok I won’t come till next year!” Naomi replied.
“Naomi stop!” Summer said, and Naomi laughed again.
“We’ll talk later, gotta go RN!” She said.
“Sure, wicked witch” Summer replied and hung up.
She got to where her car is parked and saw another car beside it. The car blocked her car completely, and there’s no way to drive out.
“Gosh!, Why are people so blind these days!, Who the hell blocked my car!” She shouted.
“Who’s the owner of the red Audi!” She shouted again, and when no answer came, she started hitting the tyres with her shoes.
“Miss!” A male voice shouted behind her, and she stopped hitting, then she smirked before facing back.
Her eyes widened immediately, and she looked away from him.
“How come he’s this handsome!” She said funnily.
“I’m sorry about the car, but that doesn’t mean you should hit the tyres” the guy said, and Summer smirked before facing him.
“Really?, What if I had an important appointment?, I’d have been late!, How could you block my car with yours when there are lots of space to park in!, Huh!” She asked to his face, and he only smiled.
“I look funny, right?, I look like SpongeBob SquarePants!, It’s not your fault!, Maybe I should have deflated your tyres” she said.
“I smiled because you look cute” the guy replied, and her eyes widened.
“Wait…what!”
“By the way … I’m Sam” he said, extending an hand for a handshake.
Summer looked at the hand and then at his face.
“I h@ťě guys who bear Sam, get your car away from my car” she said, and he smiled before entering his car.
He drove it away from that spot and Summer entered her car immediately.
She drove off before Sam could ask for her number.
“How hot tempered, but cute” Sam smiled.
