{THROWN OUT}
~MAYBELL COLLEGE~
Rose bumped into a strong arm and that was all that broke the carmel back, the tears she had been trying to hold gushed out.
“Hold me tight please” She whimpered
Twinkle blinked his lashes rapidly confused on the whole thing, he slowly wrapped his hand around her as she had requested. He tapped her back gently trying to calm her down.
Rose stayed still in his arms until she was a bit better. That was when she looked up to see the person she hugged, she shifted backwards immediately
“Are you okay?” Twinkle inquired
“I’m fine” She replied and meant to leave but he held her back. He drew closer to her and used his hand to wipe her tears.
“A smile fits you better” He said before letting her go.
Rose watched his back view for a while before going on her way too.

“Did you see that?” Ariel asked as soon as Rose entered the classroom.
“See what?”
“Ciara kissed Vince publicly…. so sweet of her, I’m feeling jealous right now. I’ll probably do the same if I have a boyfriend like Vince that have a lot of girls chasing after him, I’ll shout it to the world that he is mine and no one should look at him. I can even pluck their eyes out” Ariel said, demonstrating with her hands as she spoke.
“They are dating….” Rose just said
“Yes, they are the best couple I’ve ever come across. So sweet! Enchanting! Beautiful!” Ariel answered dreamily
“Can you just stop talking about it? Already feeling worse as it is” Rose mumbled
“My bad….. you don’t have a boyfriend?”
“And I don’t think I’ll ever have one, I was destined to remain single all my life” Rose sighed deeply

~BERYL’S CONDO~
“You aren’t going to Twinkle today?” Candy inquired as she helped Beryl to style her hair
“No…. I want him to call for me himself, I want him to feel my absence and then come to me. I’m sure he misses me already, I’m the only who knows how to pleasure him perfectly” Beryl answered
“And what if he doesn’t and he moves on to another person?”
“Twinkle would not do such!” Beryl snapped
” I am just saying….
“It’s all that w*tch’s fault, I’ll make her pay. I’ll make her gravel on her knees begging me for mercy, I’ll make her pay for the humiliation she had caused me” Beryl said clenching her fist tightly

~MAYBELL COLLEGE·ROOFTOP~
Rose furrowed her brows as she saw a familiar figure in the rooftop; Vince. She paused for a while admiring his features then she let out a sad smile, she meant to leave but he had seen her already.
He beckoned on her to come closer with his hand and she did.
“I haven’t seen you around since you disappeared in the morning” He began
“I’ve just been here and there”
“Where and where? I thought you said that you were only comfortable with me? You should stay by my side always” He said teasingly
“Your girlfriend would not want me close to you” Rose said, she covered her mouth as soon as she finished speaking.
“I’m sure Ciara wouldn’t mind” Vince answered
“He is not even denying it” She mumbled adjusting her glasses, she was trying hard to control her emotions. She bit her bottom lips wishing for her to disappear from his sight.

~LAVENDER MANSION~
Ciara stared at Vince blankly as he operated his phone, she was resting her head on his chest.
“Is anything the matter with you?” He inquired when he noticed her gaze was on him
“Nothing….. you brother didn’t come down for dinner, is he not at home? Or he just don’t feel like eating? Come to think of it, I haven’t seen him around since I came, I don’t know Twinkle to be an introvert” She said
Vince raised a brow wondering why she was concerned about Twinkle but he still answered her questions anyways
“Twinkle had shut us all out of his life, he does not eat with us anymore…. we don’t even talk, I’m sure he does not see me as his brother anymore” He answered with a slight shrug
“What? Why? When did things turn out this way between you both?”
“It began when we started dating” Vince answered briefly
Ciara bit her bottom lips as a small smile formed on her face. She suddenly raised her head from Vince’s chest
“I need to go now babe” She said pecking his lips and grabbing her bag hurriedly like she is being pursued
“I thought you wanted to spend the night here” He retorted looking surprised
“That will be some other time” She said with a smile, she blew kisses at him before going out.

~TWINKLE’S ROOM~
🎼 Stay with me…
🎼 I’ll be your knight in shinning armour
🎼 Stay with me….
🎼 I’ll be like the beesthat surround the almond
🎼Stay with me…..
He paused on pulling the guitar string and singing when he noticed a presence behind him. He turned back only to see Ciara staring back at him with a smile on her face
“Your voice still make my heart beat fast as usual” She said walking further into his room.
“What are you doing here? Why are you here?” He inquired, his countenance had changed as soon as his eyes fell on her, anger flashed in his eyes as he spoke.
“I came to see you” She responded twitching her lips stylishly
“You should go see your boyfriend instead”He cuts her off
“Now you’re hurting my feelings with your words” She said faking a puppy look
“What exactly do you want, Ara?”
“You” She answered immediately
Twinkle’s eyes bulged out in shock as soon as she said that, he wasn’t expecting that from her.
“What!!?”
“You heard me right…. I want you, I miss your touch, I miss how your hand feel on me, I miss your voice….
She was moving closer to him as she spoke. She was soon at the bed where he was sitting on.
“And I want the spend forever in your arms” She added staring deep into his eyes giving him a smoky look. A look she knows he can’t resist
“Huh?” She added leaning closer, she used her lips to brush his ear giving him that tingling feeling

~GRACIE ORPHANAGE~
Nuella cleared her throat moving closer to Rose who had been quiet the whole day. She just had her eyes on her book absentmindedly.
“Rose!”Nuella called tapping her lightly and that jolted Rose from her dream land.
“Huh?”
“Are you okay? You seem lost in thought! Did anything happen in school? You can always talk to me if there is anything bothering you” Nuella said in a calm voice.
“It’s nothing” Rose forced a smile before turning back to her book.
Just then the door busted open and Miss Gracie came in shocking the girls, it’s unusual for her to come into the dorm after the usual night roll call had been done.
“Miss Gracie, do you need anything?” Rose inquired standing up almost immediately. Her innocent and bright eyes was on Miss Gracie as she awaits a response
Miss Gracie cleared her throat looking away
“Yes….. I need you out of the orphanage” She said with so much difficulty
“What!!?”
“You have only but ten minutes to pack up and leave or I’ll have to throw you out myself” Miss Gracie added
“But… why? Did I do anything wrong? Why are you sending me away? This place is like a home to me, I have nowhere else to go” Rose said with her voice quivering, she was getting scared already.
“And do I look like I care!? Just get your lousy self out of this premises in ten minutes and the time starts now!” Miss Gracie said with a note of finally, she gave Rose one hard and final stare before going out, banging the door behind her.
“What just happened?” Nuella finally found her voice
