***BEWARE OF ERRORS***
[ Pick one ]
* A penthouse *
Ma Angel walked out of the bathroom, she walked to the only table in the room.
“It’s quick than I expect”she muttered as she picked the envelope on the table, walking to the bed as she swing the envelope with her.
She sat on the bed, bringing out the photos in the envelope. It contains Xavier and June’s photo, holding hands on the street.
“This is enough prove, come on son”she muffled staring deep at the photo.
She stood up, walked to the dressing room to dress up.
Few minutes later, she came out and walked out of the room.
“Tell Xavier’s driver to bring June, I’d like to see her tonight”she said to her personal bodyguard who was out waiting for her.
“Just her?”he asked as they began walking away.
“Did I mention someone else”she said and he nodded.
“Tell him not to allow Xavier tag along”she said and they finally got to the car.
“About the photo, keeping anything from me?”she asked.
“That’s all I know”he said.
“You shouldn’t keep things, you know better”she said and the drive continued in silence.

< College * Cafeteria >
“I really don’t know what happened between you and Finch”Noah said as they sat down. Mimi is busy showing June how the dance video they did went viral.
“It’s nothing”Xavier said.
“Keeping things from your best friend, not funny”Noah muttered.
“Come on”
“Then tell me”he scoffed.
“Don’t freak out, but I started having feelings for June”he whispered but Noah kept a straight face.
“Not news anymore, so what have next”Noah said
“You knew?”he asked.
“Just me and Mimi, your moves explains it”
“Oh…. didn’t know it was obvious”he muttered.
“Just tell me what happened”Noah said and he explained.
“d@mn bro, you confess your feelings”Noah whispered.
“I just said I did”he muttered.
“Okay, let’s scale this. Finch was right, your mom wouldn’t even wanna hear this and also, it’s five years distance,no offense but she isn’t educated…. not from America….not the type of girl your mom did want and most especially, June wouldn’t even accept”Noah said.
“I can’t help it even though I know all this”he muffled.
“Hey girls, we’ve got boys things to do”Noah said and dragged Xavier out but neither Mimi nor June paid attention.
“Why are we here?”Xavier asked as they got to the college roof top.
“To settle things with Finch, you have to apologize too”Noah said and he scoffed.
“I did nothing wrong”
“Punching, I think it’s like a kiss not something violences, uhn?”
“He trigger me in doing that, I wouldn’t have….”
“Just apologize”Noah cut in and Finch walked in.
“Didn’t know you got my contact”Finch said.
“And you asked me to attend a dinner, funny “Noah said.
“I’m lost, why did you call me”Finch said.
“Go on”Noah faced Xavier.
“I’m….. sorry……I apologize for the punch last night”
“I got no word to say right now”Finch said.
“Then just behave like you didn’t hear”Xavier said.
“You know, June asked why you and I don’t talk, but I got no reason, wanna give a reason”Finch said.
“Hmmm, that’s true”Noah said.
“Maybe cause we never had a reason to talk, competitors don’t get along”Xavier said.
“Right, I thought about that too, but it looks like we were friends in our past lives and are enemies now”Finch said.
“Are you like trying to be….. like be…..”
“Yeah, I see no reason why we should h@ťě ourselves, June h@ťěs the fact we don’t talk”Finch said.
“We should keep being how we are, cause right now, it seems like you wanna be close to please June”Xavier said.
“Or cause you think liking one girl can’t make us close”Finch said.
“The conversation is getting longer, I h@ťě such”Xavier began walking out.
“I wanna confess my feelings to her”Finch said and he stopped walking.
“You haven’t tell her?”Xavier turned.
“Was scared of her reply when I heard what she has for me, but I still wanna say it to her and know her reply, at least I’d feel free”he said.
“Good luck”Xavier said.
“I’ll accept my fate”he said.
“Still Good luck”Xavier said and walked out finally.
“Thanks for showing up”Noah said and walked out too.

Finally, classes was over and they’re all heading home.
“Let’s talk”Finch held June.
“I’ll meet you in the car”Xavier said and walked away.
“See ya tomorrow June”Mimi waved.
“Talk now”June said.
“I don’t know the word to use”he muttered and she brought out her phone but he stopped her by holding her hand.
“You can understand it”he said and she put her phone in her cross bag.
“You may say it’s not possible but I like you…..no I love you”he said, maintaining eye contact with her which she didn’t break.
“I wanna know what you think”he said.

June walked out but didn’t see Xavier in the car.
“Where Zavier?”she asked.
“Ma Angel asked you to see her so Xavier went home already”the driver said and she nodded.
Thirty minutes later, they finally got to her penthouse.
“Go in”a guard said as she got to the main building.
She entered the room she was directed to only to see Ma Angel seated.
“Good evening Ma Angel”she said with her eyes down.
“Sit!”Ma Angel said and she sat.
A translator machine is on the table. Two glass cups also on the table. One big one small.
“I’ll be quick”Ma Angel said but she said nothing.
“Look at this cups, if wine is filled in the two, which would you take?”she asked and June pointed at the big glass cup.
“Excellent choice, now to reality. This small cup contains you and Xavier”she stopped talking to see June’s reaction.
“Me and Zavier?”
“Yes, imagine”she said and June nodded.
“You’re working as his babysitter but in the big one, you’re back in Nigeria but not with your Uncle, you’ll be in your own house, have a car, and lots of money”she said.
“Which would you still choose, big one or small?”she asked.
“But na you give me work na, my uncle sell me for you, e mean say I no fit get all the thing way you say I go get na, you no go even give me salary na”June said.
“You’ve heard about miracle? Just see this one as a miracle. I’ll give you a million dollar, a mansion in Nigeria and a car, I would also pay a year if you would love to attend school so you’d speak well at least”she said and June stared at her before staring at the two glass cups.
“The big one or small? It’s all in your hands. Pick one”she said.
