Nelson stood rooted, still with an expressionless face
“Nelson, it ….. It not what you think trust me, I will never hurt you” Gabby said, a
drop of tears rolled down her cheeks, still Nelson didn’t say anything then she continue
“Okay, I…. We.., the very first day I went to your house, your mother asked me who I am, so I described myself to her and told her who am I to you then she later asked me to be telling her every of your moves in school, at first I refused but when she told me is for your safety, that you are too weak and soft hearted that other kids like maltreating and bullying you, I had no choice but to agreed because I took Celine and Dalia as an example and believe her words.. ” Gabby explained and wipe the tears that were falling from her eyes
“Then why didn’t you tell me at first or stop when you found out that she has other motives, huh, why? Now tell me, the slapped that Mom took at the restaurant, was planned by you and my mom right”he asked trying to keep his anger in
” Yes, I did it because I love you, I love you so much but you only see me as a friend, I got jealous when you started getting close to her, you never cared about me, sometimes you will act cold, sometimes soft towards me” Nelson was beyond shocked, she was right but he never believe Gabby would have a felling for him, he always take her as a friend but hearing her said it is unbelievable to him
“You… You love me?” He asked
“yes I do, but I can’t force you to love me, she told me to set you up but I can’t do that, love is not by force, I sorry” Gabby muttered feelling more guilty
“I thought you were different” he mumbled, pains visible on his face, he was very hurt, he took one glance at her and walked away, Gabby slumped on the floor and started crying

As he walked towards the class, someone hugged him behind, he instantly know who it was, Dalia
He he released her hands from his tummy and pushed her away
“What do you want” he asked angrily
“Nelson” she muttered and hugged him again
” What the hell” Nelson yelled and pushed her away, she staggered back but maintain her balance
” What do you think you are doing? ” He. Snapped and she flinched back
“I love you, why can’t you love me back, huh, just be my boyfriend even if it’s just for two days, please” she plead desperately
” You are crazy” he uttered and walked away
” Yes I’m, and I must have you” she shouted behind him but he didn’t look back till he was out of her sight, Dalia fold her hands in a ball
“I can see you are trying so hard” Melody voice behind her
“Begging for love, huh” she added
“Mind your business Ɓîtçh” Dalia gritted her teeth
“I’m here, in case you any need help” she snorted
” I will rather die than seek help from someone like you” Dalia scoffed
” Oh really, don’t be stupid, is just a help nothing else, don’t think I wanna be friend with a loser like you, I already have a plan but since you don’t want I will be going then” she said and turned to leave
” Wait, what plan do you have” Dalia asked curiously and Melody smirked
“Thought you don’t need my help, let get back to class then” she said sarcastically and started walking away, Dalia rolled her eyes before following her to the class
They entered the class and saw the English teacher making an announcement, he paused and glanced at them as they walked to their desk, he sighed and continue
“Okay, like I was saying, if you know you didn’t do the previous test I gave the class stand up and follow me to my office” the English teacher said
The students murmured among themselves as some were standing up
Among those students who stood up were, Kyle, Celine, Dalia, Melody, DK and some other students
“Follow me” he said and head out while they follow behind
” Give me one reason why you guys didn’t do your test” the English teacher said calmly looking at them, the students looked at each other before facing him
“None of you have something to say? Don’t you think it will affect your exams?” He asked again
” We are sorry sir” they chorused and he heavy
“okay, go back to class, I will send the test to your email but you have just ten minutes to answer all the questions and your time start now, is that clear”
” Yes sir” Celine replied and rushed out, happily, she was the first person to walk out before others

“Let’s go order something” Nelson said
” No, let Celine do that” Brooklyn replied
” What, why me?” Celine Asked
” Because you are the kid here” Brooklyn replied nonchalantly
” I’m not a kid” she snapped
“Really, Nelson and I are eighteen years old but you are just seventeen, now go do what I asked you to do kid” Brooklyn said smirking while Celine sat still glaring at her, Nelson almost laugh at her expression, she looks cute
“I h@ťě you Brooklyn” she yelled and went to get their food
” I love you kiddo” Brooklyn said laughing hard, Nelson only chuckled and and went to help her
After they have finished collecting their food, they arranged it on the table, Brooklyn blew her a kiss, she hiss and sat down
“You are so annoying, don’t talk to me again” Celine mumbled Carry her cutleries ready to eat when a junior student interrupt them
“Senior Celine you are needed at the principal’s office” the junior student said and walked away before she could ask any question
Brooklyn and Celine exchanged glanced
“Did you do anything” Brooklyn asked
“No” Celine replied
“Then why would the principal summon you to his office” Nelson mumbled
” I don’t know, I’m coming” she stood up and walked out of the cafeteria, Nelson and Brooklyn stood up and go after her
THE PRINCIPAL’S OFFICE
All the students that went to Mr Ben’s (the English teacher) office was standing in front of the principal in his office
“The reason why I called you all here is this, when you left Mr Ben’s office, he later discovered that his gold wrist watch went missing, we checked the CCTV camera in his office but the footage were deleted and according to him you are the only students that entered his office today” the principal said and murmurs follow
“Keep quiet” he snapped and they all went silent
“Stealing is prohibited in this school, if you know you carried it just returned it to me I will only punish you but if you don’t return it and they later catch you with it, you will be expired immediately, if you don’t have anything to say then go back to your class, I will come with securities to cheek your bags” the principal said and they all walked out of the office
Celine met Nelson and Brooklyn waiting for her in front of the office, they didn’t go inside since they were not among those that went to Mr Ben’s office
“What happened, what did he say” Nelson asked
“Is about a missing wrist watch” uttered
” I don’t get you” Brooklyn muttered and Celine heavy a sigh before explaining everything to them
” But who could stoop to low to steal a wrist watch” Brooklyn muttered
” I don’t know, let go back to class, the principal is coming to cheek our bags” Nelson locked hand with Celine and they walked away
Dk came out and grabbed Brooklyn’s hand, she tried freely her hand but he didn’t let go
“What do you want”
“Shhhh, let go” she scoffed and they walked back to class together
It’s didn’t take up to five minutes before the principal entered the class with some securities trailing behind
“Search all the bags including the students that didn’t go to Mr Ben’s office today” the principal said and fold his hands behind his back watching every moves
The security immediately get to work
“I found it sir” one of the securities yelled and all eyes turned to the direction
Celine’s heart almost jumped out of its ribcage as she saw the security bringing out the wrist watch from her bag
All the students gasped
“Who owns this bag” the principal thunder but no one answer, Celine was already shaking, she hold Nelson’s hand tightly
“Who have this bag” he yelled
“It belongs to Celine sir” Dalia replied loudly and all eyes turned to Celine
“She is a thief” Melody said
“Shut up, this is a set up” Brooklyn snapped ready to go grab Melody’s hair but DK hold her back
” Can you all keep quiet” the principal snapped
“Celine Smith, can you now explain to me why the wrist watch is found in your bag……
