< SCHOOL GARDEN>
Chloe sat on the bench starring at Bryan who kept laughing non stop and that’s due to what she told him.
“Do you think it’s funny?” Chloe asked in frustration.
“It is! The dummy have always thought Stephanie to be a saint and he found out that she’s nothing but a devil, serves him right” Bryan replied referring to Leo.
“I know that you h@ťě Leo and all but that doesn’t mean that you should feel happy at his sadness” Chloe berated.
“Leo is like that with me, so why can’t I do the same and you haven’t been here for long to know what Leo is like. If the real Valerie was here, she would also be laughing with me at this very moment” Bryan replied while she let out a scoff.
“Leo must have been mean to you and Valerie. What really happen between the both of you a year ago?” She asked suddenly.
“Nothing you should concern your self with” Bryan replied.
“But you….”
“Why do you only have foreign music in your play list?” He asked changing the subject which got Chloe distracted.
“It’s my choice of music, if you don’t like it then give it back to me” She said wanting to take the mp3 player from him but he stood up making it difficult for her since she’s short.
“I own this Mp3 now, so forget about getting it back” he told her firmly.
“That’s …..”
“Bryan! You’ve got to come to the cafeteria. Your brother is having a fight with Lucas” one of the student said interrupting Chloe.
On hearing that the three of them ran to the cafeteria where the other students was finding it hard to stop Leo from hitting Lucas.
“Stop it!” Bryan said as he pulled Leo away from the bloody Lucas.
David and Luke went to help Lucas up while Bryan and Chloe held onto the angry Leo.
“What is wrong with you? Why will you do that to him?” Stephanie who had been watching the scene in horror asked.
If looks could ki|| then Stephanie would have been dead due to the look Leo gave her before storming out of the cafeteria.
“What exactly is wrong with him?” Students muttered amongst themselves.
“Asking this slut here will earn you all a better explanation” Bryan said before joining David and Luke who were taking Lucas to the school infirmary.
“What did he mean by that” Stephanie said starring at Bryan.
“What he meant is that you’ve been caught. If you were going to sleep with both of them, you should have done your best in keeping it hidden you dummy!” Chloe yelled at her before leaving the cafeteria.
Though it took a while, she finally found Leo.
He was seated alone at the garden bench, starring at his knuckle which was injured from punching Lucas.
She knew she shouldn’t be here and that she should be happy that this sort of thing is happening to him but she couldn’t help but to feel sad and pity.
She made her way towards him and when she sat on the space beside him, he stared at her.
“Leave if you are here to gloat” he said harshly.
“And why would I want to gloat?” She asked in return.
“You dare ask me why, after all the things I did to you because of that slut!” He replied referring to Stephanie as the slut.
“I don’t know about you but am not here to gloat” she said taking hold of his hand to wrap her handkerchief around his bloody knuckle and that got Leo starring at her.
“You are right! I should be happy at what’s happening to you now but some how I don’t feel that way, maybe it’s due to my soft hearted heart” she added smiling a little wanting to ease the tense atmosphere.
“In a situation like this I was expecting you to deal with it like an adult but you chose to do it like a raging teenager” she said again which eased the anger within Leo.
“Am a teenager after all” Leo said which got her chuckling.
“You are a teenager and that’s why you handled it the wrong way”
“And what’s the right way for you?” Leo asked.
“The right way is by showing Stephanie that she no longer matters to you, things like that hurts us a lot” Chloe told him which got him thinking even as she finished wrapping up his knuckle.
“So the next time you see Stephanie,make her feel that she’s no longer important to you, it will be the best pay back of all. Make sure you get that checked, am off now” she said walking off while Leo kept watching her until she walk out of his sight.

< TWO DAYS LATER >
The two buses hired for the school trip was filled up with the students and one of it had Chloe and her friends in it.
Chloe who busy having a chat with Mira who was seated by her side stopped when Leo approach them.
“Can you leave that seat?” Leo asked Mira who was at first surprised by his request.
“Why will you tell her to leave?” Chloe demanded.
“Cause I want to seat next to you my Fiancee” Leo said which earned him the other students attention and also Bryan who was seated at the back row with his friends.
“Are you leaving or….”
“I am leaving, I will vacate the seat for you” Mira said taking her things while Leo sat beside Chloe.
“What are you doing Leo?” Chloe asked which got him starring at her.
“You told me to make Stephanie feel that she’s no longer important to me and that’s what am doing” he replied.
“So you mean that you plan to use me to make Stephanie feel that’s she no longer important?” Chloe asked and he nodded.
“There’s no better way in making her feel useless other than by showering you lots of attention. Sounds great right?” Leo asked her with a smile on his face…..
