Lotus walked dejectedly to her seat while Starr joined Rhythm.
They always sit beside each other.
She’s wearing a shorter skirt than the usual one and Starr couldn’t help but notice since her thighs are revealing.
“Your skirt is … Shorter” he said and she smiled.
“I got it yesterday, it’s more fashionable if it’s shorter” she said.
“You look more fashionable in the other one, this looks somehow” he replied and she felt hurt instantly.
“Starr” she called and he looked at her.
“You….you…. don’t have a girlfriend right?” She asked awkwardly.
“Why do you ask?” He asked.
“Attention” Mr Roger said and they all had to face him.
“The end of the month competition is coming up next week” he announced and they all went wild with excitement.
“Yes, so get ready if you know you’re interested in winning a trophy for yourself” he further said before starting the class.
“What’s the end of the month competition?” Lotus asked after the class.
“It’s a monthly competition to pick the emperor and empress in each department each month, strictly for we the seniors” Constance explained.
“Oh” Lotus replied.
“So what did Rhythm say?” Yolanda asked.
“Nothing” Lotus replied.
“But I have something to say” Yolanda said .
“What?” Constance quickly asked.
“I and Alec, we’re dating” she said shyly and Constance gasped.
“Are you for real?”
“Trust me, we even had our first and second kiss already, and I’m going out with him tonight again, trust me he’s good in caressing” Yolanda whispered.
“Bad girl!, Whoa! Americans and their way, caress is already involved?” Constance said.
“Of course, we love each other and he’s f_cking caring and attentive, I wanna marry him in the future” Yolanda said.
“I don’t like him” Lotus said, looking over at Alec who’s busy chatting away with Colton.
“Why?, Are you jealous of me?” Yolanda asked.
“No, I just don’t feel…. alright about him” Lotus replied.
“You don’t have to feel alright about him dear, I’m his girlfriend and I’m the only one who has the right to feel that way* Yolanda said.
Lotus sighed, still feeling uncomfortable.
The lunch alarm made them rush out of class and immediately Lotus stepped out of class, she stumbled on a leg and fell.
Ophelia actually placed her leg on the way for her.
She laughed loudly with Enolla and and Lotus could feel her elbow peeled, it hurts.
Constance helped her up and Yolanda faced the two witches.
“What?, Are you here to fight for her?, Huh?” Enolla said arrogantly.
Yolanda grabbed their heads and hit it on each other before pushing their chests, they fell heavily together.
“I h@ťě brats” she said and Ophelia stood, breathing heavily.
“You’ll cry a river soon, trust me” she said.
Yolanda faced her.
“For you to drown in right?, I’ll gladly do that” she said and Lotus’s eyes started closing again.
“Swim…I didn’t… swim this morning” she thought and her eyes closed completely.
She was already falling when Martin appeared and caught her.
“Lotus!” Constance called.
“Lotus!” Yolanda shouted.
“Lotus!” Martin called too.
When he felt no response, he carried her in his arms and rushed all the way to the school clinic.
“She must have lost consciousness because of how you guys made her fall, if anything happens to her I swear it I’ll ki|| you both” Yolanda said to Ophelia and Enolla.
She turned back to go but she bumped into Alec .
“Don’t act so angry babe, it doesn’t suit you” he said and she smiled.
“Alec”
“Let’s go eat lunch together” he said and left with her.
Constance rolled eyes at the two before leaving too.
“Where’s Lotus?” Starr asked immediately he saw her.
“She passed out, Martin took her to the school clinic” she replied.
Starr’s eyes widened and he started rushing there.
Ophelia rolled eyes at no one in particular before turning to the cafeteria, coming across Floyd and Lilac.
“Now that Enolla is here, we’re unimportant right?” Lilac asked.
“I’ve never considered you both my friends, people do say you both are my dogs and it’s true” Ophelia replied.
“What!” They both said shockingly.
“Yes, so get out!” Ophelia glared and pushed them out of the way.
Enolla sighted Bluey climbing down the stairs and rushed to him.
She climbed down before him and stood in front of him.
“We need to talk” she said.
“I see no reason why I should talk with you” he replied.
“I like you, we can be friends at least, please, I just….I want to…
“I don’t want to, and I can never” he replied and started walking away.
“Spider” she said and he stopped.
She smiled trickily.
She actually met with Lavender and she was the one who told her his greatest fear.
“There’s spider on your trousers” she said and his eyes widened.
“No!, No!!, No!!!” He screamed and started jumping around, trying to get the spider away.
Enolla laughed loudly and the students around started laughing too, some made videos as they watched.
“Spider!, No!, No!!!!” He continued screaming till he got to Enolla again.
He bumped into her and they went down together.
He calmed down immediately and Enolla smiled, feeling his weight on top of herself.
Bluey slowly looked at her and she smiled again.
He tried standing from her when he realized he has been fooled but Enolla held his face tightly, pulling him back to herself.
She kissed him right there and Bluey’s eyes bulged.
“Whoa!!!!” The students screamed.

SCHOOL CLINIC**
Martin is sitting beside Lotus on the bed, she’s still unconscious but the doctor said she fainted because of tiredness.
Her elbow wounds has been treated and plastered and seems she’ll wake up soon.
He stroked her hair, staring at her with lots of love in his eyes .
“I love you” he whispered and started going for her tempting lips.
He kept leaning closer and closer and when he was just about to kiss her lips, Starr came in unnoticed.
Seeing what he’s about to do made his blood boil.
Anger blinded him and he stepped closer.
He pulled Martin away from Lotus roughly and when he let him go, Martin staggered and fell against the wall, hitting his head on it.
He looked up at Starr before standing though his head hurts a lot.
“Why would you push me?” He demanded angrily.
“You were trying to take advantage of her” Starr replied.
Martin rubbed his hurting head and looked at Starr again.
“She’s not your girlfriend” he said.
Starr bit the side of his mouth to prevent himself from talking.
“Then why!” Martin yelled, coming to him, glaring at him furiously.
“I told you I like her” he said.
“I love her” Starr replied.
“What!”
