NEXT DAY ~ EMPIRE HIGH >
“Are you sure you want to move to another class?” The teacher asked starring at Monica whose mind was made up already.
“I am. I figured out that learning business isn’t my forte but experimenting with chemical and other stuff is” she said forcing a smile on her face.
“Fine then, you can go straight to the science department while I prepare the document” the teacher said and she left the office.
Truth be told, she really wants to study business but if she has to keep on seeing Micheal and Stella who are both in the same class with her, she would go insane, she thought as she made her way to her new class.
“Tell me it isn’t true” Micheal said suddenly taking hold of her hand from behind.
“Let go” she said trying to pull free but he tightened his grip.
“What’s this I hear about you moving to another class, I thought you said studying business was what you wanted most” Micheal said.
“Well it is, studying business is what I want but I would rather not study since you two will be there ” she said pulling her hand out of his hold.
“So this is because of me, let’s just forget the past and try to move on. I still love……”
“Bull $h|t” Monica said cutting him off.
“What?”
“Your words are utter crap, so why not do me a favor and go tell Stella that, afterall you enjoyed drilling her hole yesterday” Monica said while Micheal stared at her in shock.
“Stay away from me and also refer the message to Stella. I mean it Micheal, you both should stay away” she said before walking off.
“Did she see us yesterday?” Micheal said talking to no one in particular.
Monica was almost in class when she heard three girls discussing amongst themselves
?”Her name is Monica King and I heard that she just transferred to science class”?
?”She’s gonna pay for touching our Prince”?
?”You know beating someone up is my forte, should I start by pulling her hair or by punching her face until she’s as ugly as sin?” ?
On hearing that Monica stood still in fright.
‘Why are they suddenly talking about her and what does prince have to do with all this?’ she thought and at that particular moment two girls walk up to her.
“Is this you?” One of the girls asked showing her a video of her kissing Prince.
Monica gasp out in shock and seeing her reaction, the second girl yelled.
“You are the one who soiled our Prince lips with yours! How dare you!”
“There’s an explanation for ……. Arrrghhh!!!” Monica scream, running off while the two girls chase her.
She was still being chase when she made a turn only to be pulled into one of the empty class.
Monica look up to see a girl starring at her in return.
“If you don’t want to be beaten to a pulp,keep your mouth sealed” the girl said while Monica nodded in reply.

< GOLDEN GATE HOTEL >
“Am at your work place, where are you?” Daisy said into the receiver as she walk into the hotel where Oprah works.
“Am cleaning a room but I will be there with you in no time, so don’t you dare leave. I want to know how it went between you and Oliver King last night” Oprah said in return.
“I don’t know why you insist on hearing the sordid details when there is nothing to tell” Daisy said with a frown.
” There will surely be a juicy tale to talk about, so make sure you wait for me or am gonna ki|| you” Oprah thr_@ten jokingly before ending the call.
Daisy let out a sigh and went to seat at the lobby, waiting for her friend to show up.
She found herself thinking about the kiss she shared with Oliver last night and immediately shake her head to get rid of the thought.
Someone gasping for breath some distance away caught her attention.
The lady seem to be in her late fifties and she was gasping for breath while rummaging her bag.
Knowing what the woman was searching for, Daisy quickly went to her.
” Is your inhaler in here?” She asked and the lady shook her head, her breathing getting shallow.
Daisy search her bag again and when there was no inhaler, she quickly went to the reception desk.
“A lady can’t breathe properly and I suspect that it’s asthma, do you have an inhaler?” Daisy asked the receptionist who frowned at her at first before going into a room bringing out an inhaler with her.
“That is expensive, it’s not free….”
“Let’s talk about that when the lady is doing fine” Daisy said snatching the inhaler from her before rushing back to the lady.
“Thank you very much, Miss” the lady thank Daisy a while later.
“It’s no problem but I suggest you go around with your inhaler, it’s not safe walking about without it” Daisy told her.
“My son told me the same thing but like a fool I thought I will be fine without it but this happen….am glad that you were here” The lady replied.
“You should” Daisy answered bluntly making her laugh and just as that moment, a guy in a tux ran towards them crouching in front of the older lady.
“Are you okay, Mom?” He asked and the lady nodded.
“I am fine” she replied.
“Have told you severally to go about with your inhaler but still you refuse to do it and now this?” He said to the older woman who look like a child being caution by her father.
“Stop reprimanding me and thank this lady instead, she is the one who saved me” the older lady said and the man turn his gaze on Daisy.
“Thank you” he muttered starring at her longer than he is meant to.
“You don’t have to thank me, I would have done it for anyone in need” Daisy replied.
“But still, my mother is safe because of you and it’s only right that I thank you” he said.
She was about replying when Oprah walk towards them.
“Ready to go?” Oprah asked and Daisy nodded.
“Always take your inhaler with you ” Daisy said taking hold of the older lady hand.
“I will child, thank you” the older lady said and when Daisy turn to leave she asked.
“And may I know the name of my saviour?”
“It’s Daisy, Daisy Warren ” Daisy replied and with one last wave, she left the hotel with Oprah.
“That lady is one fine woman, she’s the type I will want as a daughter in-law. Don’t you think so?” The older lady ask starring at her son.
“Not again mom” he answered and while his mom began to complain to him about wanting a grandson, he turn to stare at Daisy, a smile splaying on his lips.

< KING’S RESIDENCE>
“Are you ready love?” Oliver voice drifted through the door way and Daisy who had taken a great deal of time to get dress just so she would play her part to perfection took a deep breath before joining him outside.
“I would have love to see you in your dress” Oliver said and quickly she put her arm in his.
“Am just as beautiful as always, common let’s not keep your guest waiting” she said as she help him descend the stairs.
“You aren’t worried that you will be staying with a handicap like me?” He asked when they got down the stairs and somehow her heart tug at hearing him call himself an handicap.
She was about replying when they both heard a voice.
“You two love birds are blinding my eyes” the male voice said.
“Freddy” Oliver called in excitement and when she turn to see who the guest is, Daisy let out a scream startling Oliver.
The guest who Oliver had been expecting is none other than the man in the tux from the hotel.
“Aren’t you Daisy?” Freddy ask calling her by her real name and in front of Oliver.
