Fabiola pushed him off immediately.
“Why the h*ll did you do that!” She yelled creating space between them.
“Because I want you to know what you’re getting yourself into. You’re not just gonna answer my girlfriend infront of people but we are also gonna act up which involves hugging and kissing and if you’re not up for it then you should just back out now.” Shaun rushed his words.
“Well you could have just said so rather than… nevermind.” Fabiola sighed.
Shaun walked back to the pitch, picking up the basket ball.
“Go think about this properly first. I’m not gonna force you to do anything you don’t want to.” He said and began bouncing the ball.
“Do you really like Natasha this much?” Fabiola asked and he stopped bouncing the ball.
“Even though every student here comes from a wealthy family, some of us are still treated like losers. Natasha has been my only friend since middle school and she always stood up for me whenever the rest would ridicule me. I’ve had a liking for her ever since and I thought if we got older, she’ll like me back.” Shaun said running a hand through his hair.
“And you think this would really make her notice you?” Fabiola asked again.
“I mean you’re the one who brought up the idea right?” Shaun reminded.
“It is tested and trusted but I don’t think I’m the right person for this. We practically stay in the same room.”
“And so does Sebastian!” Shaun yelled before realizing it.
Fabiola frowned, coming closer to him.
“The other guy is baby!” She yelled grabbing his collar.
Shaun widened his eyes, shocked at the now angry looking Fabiola.
He nodded immediately for fear that she might actually hit him.
“Why didn’t you say so earlier! I knew my suspicions were correct.” Fabiola let go of his collar.
“Okay boyfriend, time to act up.” She said crossing her hands across her chest.
“You.. you’re in?” Shaun asked and she nodded with a frown.
“You get your Natasha and I’ll get my baby.” She smiled walking out of the basketball court.
Shaun chuckled, picking up the ball again.
“I do hope this works.” He muttered before bouncing it and throwing it. It missed this time. He frowned, going back to his bag and picking it up. That’s enough for today.

NEXT DAY
CAMILA’S HOME
Camila raised her head up from the newspaper she’s holding as Chrystal walked into the living room, all dressed up.
“Where are you off to?” Camila raised a brow.
“School of course or have you forgotten I attend one?” Chrystal rolled her eyes, approaching the door.
“Do you need a lift?” Camila called out.
“It’s embarrassing enough to be living in this small house of yours. I’ll just stop by my father’s and take my car.” She said in an affront before shutting the door.
Camila sighed, looking around the living room. It’s no big mansion but it’s a beautiful home and she’s not ashamed to own it. She thought Chrystal agreeing to stay here was for the better but she was wrong. Chrystal is still Ɓîtçhy and ice cold towards her and it keeps making her ask why she’s still staying here.
Why not go back to her father already?
Chrystal got to the road, turning left and right. This is actually the first time she’s been out since she got here and she didn’t even know which route to take.
She brought her phone out of her bag, dialing Brianna’s line.
Brianna picked up almost immediately.
“Hey sweetie, I’ve been meaning to call you.” Brianna said over the phone.
“I need to get to school, could you please come pick me up?”
“Oh darling, I really would love to but I’m already late for an early business briefing at the office but thankfully your dad got there before me. I can send an Uber if you want.” Brianna said packing her bag hastily.
“If I wanted an Uber I would have called one.” Chrystal rolled her eyes ending the call.
She sighed turning back at the house. Her tommy made a loud grumble and she remembered that she didn’t eat before coming out.
“I h@ťě my life.” She dragged, going back into the house. Camila had made beefed turkey sandwich and the aroma alone made her tommy grumble. Too bad her stubbornness won’t let her accept she’s actually hungry.
“Did you change your mind about school?” Camila asked shocked that she’s actually back.
She’s still at the same spot she was before Chrystal left.
“I forgot something.” Chrystal lied going into the room. She sneaked out, entering the kitchen from the second door but frowned when she saw Camila in the kitchen.
“Did you also leave something here?” Camila asked. She had entered to get herself a drink from the fridge.
“Oh yes.i mean no .I…” Chrystal rubbed her hand not knowing what to say. She’s really hungry but telling this woman would mean her winning.
“You don’t have to lie to me you know. I don’t want to know why you’re here anyways, take wh@ťěver you want.” Camila said walking out of the kitchen back into the living room.
Chrystal sighed palming herself. She walked to the fridge, opening it. She smiled when she saw the perfectly packaged sandwich. She took one of the packs, stuffing it in her small bag and walking back to the living room.
“I-i’ll get going now.” She said but Camila didn’t spare her a glance.
Chrystal frowned, walking to the door. She turned her back but Camila still had her focus on the newspaper.
“Could you give me lift?” She asked and Camila glanced at her from the newspaper before returning her full focus on it.
“I’m sorry but I rather not embarrass you further.” She said plainly.
Chrystal frowned, storming out of the house.
“So what now she’s angry? Wh@ťěver, I don’t care.” She said bringing out her phone to get an Uber. After some minutes, a car pulled over and she got into the back seat even before the driver could come out.
He shrugged, zooming off.
ROSE’S MANSION
Swayer checked herself out in the mirror sighing. She’s lost weight again and had little dark circles under her eyes.
She picked up her bag, leaving the room. Today is the qualification exam day and she wanted to surprise her girls. They had no idea she had applied online..
She got into the room Fiona is staying and she’s still sleeping peacefully.
Swayer smiled walking up to her bed. She pinched her cheek slightly and Fiona frowned, stirring in her sleep.
Swayer pinched the other cheek and Fiona finally opened her eyes.
“Sleepyhead.” Swayer laughed.
“Why are you waking me so early? I have nothing to do today so just let me sleep in peace.” Fiona frowned, dragging the duvet to cover her face.
“You sure? Cause I thought today is the qualifications exam for the quiz?” Swayer smiled.
Fiona brought down the duvet on her face, glaring at Swayer.
“I know that! You clearly said you’re not going so why remind me.” Fiona said covering her face with a pillow instead.
“Well I don’t know about you but I’m looking forward to going to Canada next week.” Swayer said leaving the room.
Fiona got up immediately, chasing after Swayer.
“What! Don’t tell me you changed your mind!” Fiona yelled bumping into her as she couldn’t slow down on time.
“I did but I don’t think I would go if you break my bones.” Swayer laughed.
“Oh my Sway Sway you’re the best!! I love love love you!” Fiona screamed, kissing Swayers cheeks.
“Alright alright, go shower already. I wanna surprise Anna.” Swayer pushed her off and she ran into the room shutting the door. She came out thirty minutes later all dressed up.
Fiona got downstairs to see Swayer already waiting by the door.
“All set. Are you sure about this?” Fiona asked raising a brow.
“I miss school and I would love to get away a bit so yeah. Also it’s my way of saying thank you for sticking with me.” Swayer smiled opening the door and walking out of the house.
Fiona smiled too, following her. She paused when she saw the porch infront of Swayer.
“Did Mrs Marshall get a new ride?” Fiona furrowed her brows.
“No silly. It’s mine.” Swayer shook her head, unlocking the car and entering into the drivers seat.
Fiona widened her eyes in shock.
“My Sway Sway is growing up.” She smiled getting into the passengers seat. Swayer drove off to the school.
SALVATORE ACADEMY
Students were all gathered in the hall, awaiting the invigilator.
Sebastian got in with Fabiola and almost immediately Natasha got in as well.
“Hey Seb. You ready for this?” She smiled taking hold of his hand and leading him towards the seats.
Fabiola frowned folding her arms across her chest.
She reluctantly walked to the seat, glaring back at them before facing her front.
Anna, Maeve and Ivory were already seated, watching the wall clock and the door from time to time. They were praying for Chrystal to arrive on time. She had told them she would be there for the exam.
The door came open and Shaun came in. He sighted Fabiola not far behind and walled up to her. She had an empty seat beside her so he went for it.
“Hey babe.” He smiled sitting next to her.
“Hi.” She said smiling back. Shaun leaned in, giving her a peck on her cheek.
“Baby steps first.” He winked and she shook her head, glancing back. Natasha is giggling about something Seb had said and they looked perfect.
THIS STORY IS WRITTEN BY CATHERINE AJURUCHI ON CATHY’S BOOKS. IF YOU’RE READING THIS ANYWHERE ELSE, ITS BEEN COPIED PLEASE REPORT TO CATHY’S BOOKS IMMEDIATELY
“W*tch.” Fabiola muttered.
“What did you say?” Shaun asked just to he sure he had her right.
Fabiola faced him.
“She is just throwing herself at baby. What could he have possibly said to her that’s funny?” She frowned.
“You know you look really scaring when you’re frowning or glaring.” Shaun said and she looked up at him.
“Scary? I’m like the cutest thing ever.” Fabiola pouted her lips.
Shaun immediately pecked it, turning Fabiola’s cheeks into a ripe tomato.
“Don’t do that, I can’t help myself.” He chuckled facing his locker.
Fabiola smiled biting her buttom lip. Their brief kiss at the basketball court was actually her first and it kinda feels weird being kissed so often by him like it’s a normal habit.
‘But hey, you’re the one who agreed to be his fake girlfriend’ She said to herself, shaking her head.
Sebastian and Natasha exchanged glances. They were seated some seats away behind them and had seen what Shaun did.
“Why did he do that?” Natasha asked furrowing her brows.
“I…have no idea.” Sebastian said glaring at Shaun. He’s never seen his sister with a guy before, never. In fact he kept wondering if she’s attracted to girls since she never talked to him of liking any guy.
“Well I guess this answers it.” He muttered, shaking his head.
Chrystal came into the hall and Anna almost screamed her name but stopped herself as she remembered they are in an examination hall.
Chrystal smiled at them, walking up to their normal front roll seat and sitting beside Ivory.
“Hey girl. Missed you.” Ivory smiled, squeezing Chrystal’s hand.
“Missed you too, we’ll talk after this.” She said facing the door as the invigilator came in. Miss Diane again.
“Does this mean Swayer isn’t coming with us?” Anna pouted her lips sadly.
Just before Maeve could reply, Swayer and Fiona walked into the hall.
“Swayer!” Anna yelled covering her mouth instantly.
Miss Diane turned to the door and smiled at Swayer.
“I’m glad you could make it miss D’vile, do take a seat.” She said and Swayer nodded.
Sebastian watched her as she walked to the front roll, taking a seat beside Anna. Fiona sat beside Chrystal.
“Swayer you almost gave me a breakdown. I thought you wouldn’t come.” Anna smiled hugging her slightly.
“Okay students, you were told that this exam would be to select people that would qualify for the quiz competition and I’m sure you were told that only ten candidates would be selected but there’s been a Change to that.” Miss Diane said and everyone payed keen attention to her.
“We would be selecting twelve students instead so goodluck on getting yourself qualified.” She smiled bringing out an envelope.
“With me is your individual pins, you would be making use of the system for this exam so kindly turn them on. Enter this pin correctly as it would serve as your identity number. Also keep them with you as you would be using them to check for results.” She instructed as she shared the paper containing the pins.
“I really hope I pass, I really want to go on the trip.” Shaun sighed. He’s brilliant but not like the FAMICS.
“You will, I promise.” Fabiola smiled at him.
The exam began and after an hour, everyone went out of the hall.
Sebastian grabbed Fabiola’s hand the moment he got out. Shaun turned around to see his angry face.
“You! Stay the hell away from my sister!” He yelled and Natasha and the FAMICS turned to them.
“Baby stop yelling at him.” Fabiola frowned, taking her hand off his hold and moving to Shaun. She held his hand tight, looking at Sebastian’s glaring face.
“What is going on?” Natasha asked folding her arms across her chest.
“Baby, he’s my boyfriend now.” Fabiola smiled, standing on her toes and placing a peck on Shaun’s lips.
Natasha widened her eyes in shock.
“I’m sorry what now?” She asked looking at Shaun.
