? CHAPTER 8 ?
“Open up.” He said and Fiona almost choked on her meal. She took the bottle of water and emptied the entire content into her mouth.
“What are you doing?” Swayer asked bringing his hand down.
”You need to eat. You don’t look so good.” He said looking at her pale face.
“I’m fine, you should eat instead.” Swayer smiled.
Sebastian raised the fork to her mouth again.
“Open up.” He said again not smiling.
“Oh for goodness sake Swayer just open your d@mn mouth already. Everyone is staring.” Maeve snapped.
Swayer looked around and indeed everyone is staring at them. Her gaze locked with Natasha’s for a brief moment and Natasha glared at her as usual. Swayer smiled internally as an idea popped into her head.
She held Sebastian’s hand and guided the meat into her mouth slowly. She looked really hot doing it that even Sebastian was caught off guard.
She smiled at him as she slowly chewed on the meat. Chrystal rolled her eyes, focusing her attention on her food.
Natasha tightened her grip on her water bottle forgetting it isn’t closed properly and the water splashed directly on her face, taking everyone’s attention to her.
Students began laughing and Chrystal brought out her phone taking a picture as she smiled satisfactory.
Natasha looked up at Sebastian, tears were in her eyes. He wasn’t laughing but he didn’t smile too, he just carried that deadpan expression.
She stood up immediately, running out of the Cafeteria, feeling very embarrassed.
Shaun sighed and went after her.
“I think she has a crush on you cutie.” Fiona said smiling at Sebastian.
“That’s crazy, we’ve only been friends for two days.” Sebastian said.
“You haven’t heard of love at first sight?” Anna teased.
“I think you should go check on her, she’s your friend right?” Ivory said.
Sebastian paused and was about standing up when he looked at Swayer. She had a pained expression on her face and he couldn’t help but worry. He knows everything about the woman’s body including the pain they experience when they are bleeding.
“She’ll be fine, she’s with us.” Ivory added as she noticed he is looking at Swayer.
“Here.” He said shifting his tray of food to Swayer. “You should eat up to get your strength back.” he added before leaving.
The moment he left, all five girls turned to Swayer.
”What was that all about?” Chrystal is the first to ask.
“What do you mean?”
“First you invite him to sit with us knowing fully well no one else sits here and then you pull off a seductive stunt on him?” Ivory frowned.
“I was just trying to confirm something and it worked. Besides this is a cafeteria not a private plane. Anyone should be able to sit anywhere they choose.” Swayer said, picking up the fork.
Anna scoffed, picking up her tray and leaving the table. She’s been angry with Swayer since last night. Not only did Swayer bail on them when they needed her most, but she also made her pay the price which almost made her miss the test. Last night was incredible she wouldn’t lie but if she had missed the test, her mother would definitely call her attention. She’s been avoiding anything that would take her back to her home before the holidays as she wasn’t ready for momma drama.
“I think you and Anna need a Tete a Tete.” Fiona said leaving as well.
“What did I do wrong?” Swayer asked facing Maeve.
“You can’t just go making decisions like that girl. We’ve been this way for five years now and a new guy comes and all of sudden things are changing? Not cool.” Ivory said leaving as well.
“Maeve, Chrystal?” Swayer called making a puppy face.
“Come on Swayer. We had several enrollment last year both male and female students, you weren’t this nice to them. I don’t think Natasha is the only one crushing on Sebastian.” Chrystal rolled her eyes before leaving.
“Great so now you all are mad at me?” Swayer asked before realizing one more person is yet to leave. She smiled at Maeve.
“You won’t leave?” she asked
“And go where?” Maeve asked. Swayer was about smiling when Maeve added.
“Don’t get me wrong I’m really pissed but like I said I don’t have anywhere to go so I guess I’m stuck with you.” Maeve sighed.
Swayer bit her lips before silently eating Sebastian’s meal.

Natasha threw the food in the garbage bin, walking out into the field. It’s the only place that’s empty so she chose to come here and clear her mind.
She hasn’t felt like this before so she couldn’t understand what’s happening.
“You okay?” Shaun asked standing two feet behind her.
She turned to him with swollen eyes and Shaun frowned.
He walked up to her and pulled her against himself, hugging her tight. Natasha began crying again and this time, harder than the first. Shaun rubbed her back and kissed her hair to calm her down.
He felt sad watching her hurt herself like this. That’s the only reason he dislikes the FAMICS because Natasha always hurt herself on their account.
Sebastian stopped at the field entrance when he saw Shaun and Natasha.
“I think she has a crush on you.” He remembered Fiona’s words and sighed, leaving the entrance as she had Shaun to comfort her.
Shaun let go of Natasha after she had calmed down.
“Do you really like him that much?” He asked her as she cleaned her face.
“I do. I really do.” She said sadly.
“Then just tell him already, stop letting the FAMICS get ahead of you in everything.” Shaun said with a frown.
“He isn’t talking to me right now. I think he’s mad at me because I poured milkshake on Swayer.” She sniffed.
“Why did you do that?” Shaun furrowed his brows.
“i..I was just angry. I don’t even know why I did it. I really messed up.” She sad palming her forehead.
“Stop that you’re gonna get red spots.” Shaun scolded.
“I’ll talk to him, how about that?” He said trying to lighten her mood and it worked.
She smiled instantly at him, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
“Thank you thank you!” She yelled hugging him briefly before pulling away.
“Go wash your face, you don’t wanna scare him off with that ruined make-up of yours.” Shaun joked and she ran off immediately.
“Stupid stupid!” Shaun hit his head.
“Why would you promise to talk to him when you obviously want her to like you instead.” He scolded himself.

LANG’S RESIDENCE
Brianna sat on the couch, reading the Dailynews newspaper. Beverly walked in with an odd look on her face.
“Mum, some lady is at our gate. She’s looking for dad.” Beverly said before heading upstairs.
Brianna frowned as they weren’t expecting any guests today.
She placed the newspaper on the center table before leaving the house. She got to the gate and opened it slightly to see an unfamiliar lady standing there.
“Hello and how may I help you?” She asked nicely.
The lady looked at her in disgust.
“I’m here for Brian and not.. whoever you are.” The lady said glaring at her.
Brianna furrowed her brows looking perplexed.
“I’m sure wh@ťěver it is we can settle it amicably okay.” Brianna smiled but that only irritated the lady more.
“Look lady, I don’t have time for your nonsense talk. Get me Brian so I can get going!” The lady snapped.
Beverly had informed her dad of the lady the moment she got upstairs so Brian came out shortly to see who it is.
He got to the gate and heard her shouting at his wife which got him really mad. Who the hell is this woman to talk to his wife that way?
“What’s going on here?” He asked and Brianna shifted a bit for him to see the lady. He froze the moment their gaze met.
“Finally, I was beginning to think you wouldn’t come out from this prison of yours.” The lady said rolling her eyes.
“Do you know this woman dear?” Brianna asked as she noticed the look on Brian’s face.
“What are you doing here Camila?” Brian asked in a serious tone, ignoring Brianna’s question.
“Isn’t it obvious? I’m here for my daughter.” Camila said folding her arms across her chest.
“What is she talking about?” Brianna asked her husband frowning slightly.
Camila glared at Brianna before facing Brian.
“Are you not going to introduce me?” She asked Brian.
“You need no introduction you w*tch. Get out of my house or I’ll call the corps.” Brian thr_@tened and made to leave.
“You have no choice Brian.” Camila said bringing out an envelope from her bag. She gave to Brianna who reluctantly collected it.
Brianna opened the envelope and gasped upon seeing the court orders stating that Chrystal would be staying with her mother hence forth but would be allowed to visit or receive visits from her father.
Brianna looked at Camila in shock.
“You..you are … Chrystal’s mother?” She stuttered.
“In the flesh.” Camila smirked.
