Joelle’s house ***
“Thanks for bringing me here” Joelle said bluntly and stepped out of his car.
She closed the door and walked to her house just to see Marvin waiting for her.
The pang of pain returned to her chest.
“What are you doing here?” Joelle shouted and it made him flinch.
“Joelle” Marvin muttered and walked to her.
“Stay away from me, I have warned you not to come anywhere close to me!” Joelle shrieked, her hands were itching to give him more slaps.
“Joelle, please forgive me, I know that it was a bet but I fell in love with you” Marvin pleaded with red eyes.
“You placed a bet on me over a car and planned to disgrace me in school, I will never ever forgive you for toiling with my feelings, you wretched bastard!” Joelle screamed with tears thr_@tening to drop from her eyes.
“What’s going on here, baby?” Lake asked and placed his hand over her shoulder.
Joelle looked at him in surprise.
“Who’s he?”
“I am her new friend or rather boyfriend” Lake smiled and suddenly kissed Joelle who was staring at him like a dummy.
Joelle didn’t push him away because she wanted Marvin far away from her. Tears fell out Marvin’s eyes as he stared at them.
Lake broke the kiss and smirked at Marvin.
“You found a substitute so fast”
“Obviously” Joelle smirked and walked to her house with Lake.
Marvin quickly left from there and drove away recklessly.
Joelle removed his hand from her neck and snapped “the kiss wasn’t necessary”
“But it helped,” Lake smiled.
“Wh@ťěver” Joelle rolled her eyes and used her keys to open the door.
“Your lips tasted good,” Lake smirked.
Joelle stared at him “I think yours tasted sour and bitter”
“I have tasted lips that are better than yours” Joelle frowned and entered her house.
Lake smiled devilishly and walked to his car.
“Nice one, Joelle”

KNAM COLLEGE****
Rory walked into the school and students were taking pictures and whispering to each other but luckily none of her nude pictures had gotten online.
But the whispering was getting worse by the minute, someone suddenly tapped her shoulder.
“You should wear this,” Wyatt said and gave her his jacket.
“Excuse me” Rory glared at him.
“I think you sat on a red paint” Wyatt smirked.
Rory looked behind her and there was a blood stain, she didn’t even know she was on her period.
“Oh my god” Rory gasped and snatched the jacket from him, she quickly tied it on her waist.
“Thanks” Rory smiled at him and noticed his handsome features.
“You are welcome,” Wyatt said and walked away.
“He’s handsome and chivalry” Rory smirked and ran to the bathroom.
*****
In class three, there was an announcement by the teacher.
“Good morning class”
“Morning sir”
“It had come to our notice that everyone would be going on a college musical camping where we would have competitions with other schools” He smiled as he talked.
The students began whispering to each other.
“It would be on Saturday and we would be doing constant practising from today onwards, we don’t want anyone of you disgracing this college”
Rania smiled as she heard the news, she looked at Andre who smiled back at her.
*****
CMC–Saturday.
“This is ridiculous” Rania gasped, staring at the old building. It wasn’t what all of them were expecting, the college musical camping didn’t take amateurs who couldn’t sing but competent singers and instrumentalists.
“Well not as you” Tinsley insulted.
“It’s like you want my cat to give you another scratch and this time, it’s paws will pull out your eyes” Rania thr_@tened and Tinsley stepped away in fear.
Andre held on to Poppy who kept annoying him. Meanwhile Marvin won’t stop staring at Joelle who refused to spare him a glance.
They walked into the building to meet a group of other students from another college.
They were introduced to each other but one suddenly came out of the blue.
Joelle was shocked to see Lake as one of the students.
“Hi, baby” Lake smiled and kissed Joelle’s lips instantly.
It shocked everyone including Luca who gazed at them like a complete dummy. Marvin felt extremely hurt but couldn’t do anything either.
The second shock came, he had dark-hair, a straight face that made his jaw slightly thin, he had ki||er eyes maybe because of the dark lenses and his lips were red.
He didn’t meet other students but went straight to Rania.
“Hi, I am Seth,” Seth muttered with a segzy smile. He stretched out his hand for a handshake.
Rania looked at him and smiled.
“I’m Leonora” Rania smiled and shook his hand.
Andre wasn’t happy with the sight.
Rania’s eyes went to the back of his hand and there was a tattoo on it.
Dracula.
TBC…
