Chapter 30

I immediately feel blood draining from my face, I'm not the only one anyway as Kira is also white already. Collins wanted this as a pay back against Fred and Richard but for Christ sake it affects me too.

It stunned me more when Kira didn't take a shot like I expected but instead said okay and stood up and dragged Kira upstairs. We continued the game when they left but my mind wasn't there at all, in actual fact it followed them when they were going.

RICHARD'S POV

I know that Collins telling me go upstairs with Kira is a come back but I decide to utilize it as I take Kira upstairs for a serious talk.

"Kira what do you think you are doing when you apologizes to Rhoda, what is you intention. Do you wanna make issues more complicated or what, Kira talk to me" I shouted at her.

"Nothing actually. I'm truly sorry. That is all trust me aint having any horror motives, I'm very serious. Okay trust me?"

"Trust you?" I say and laugh "That has to be the funniest joke of the century. Of all people to trust, you? You've got to be kidding me, seriously"

"Okay then if you don't trust me, I won't blame you but I'm serious about this. I'm really sorry about what happened, that was why I apologized moreover I already realized my mistakes that was why I apologized, I felt too guilty about it and now my eyes are opened. I realized already that we are probably not meant to be together that's what I discovered."

"OH! okay then but I believe one minute should be over by now, let's go back downstairs."

As we get back to the living room I can feel everyone's eyes on me especially Rhoda. I'm sure she's gonna bombard me with questions by the time we leave here. I just hope she trusts me enough to ask though.

"Oh you guys are back, how was your trip, you know quite well that you used more than a minute, don't you?" Collins asks sarcastically

"Whatever" Fred says with a shrug.

RHODA'S POV

The next spin I am asking Richard.

"Truth or dare" I ask him trying my best to keep my voice steady "I know that I shouldn't be asking this but what did you and Kira do upstairs" I ask almost immediately after he said "Truth" "talk that is all trust me" he says with a sly smile like he knew I was gonna ask anyway. "Okay then your turn spin the bottle"

"Rhoda it's 7:45pm already. I promised to bring you back by 8:00pm and its fifteen minute drive from here to your house" Richard reminds me "Oh okay then, see you later guys" I say standing to my feet.

"I'll see you guys later as well and don't forget our convocation is in a week's time" Bessie announces standing to her feet as well as Collins.

"Oh we'll just talk about that tomorrow then" Kira says

"Yeah that's the best and we are meeting at, I suggest my place" Richard says and we all agree as we bade our fare wells.

"Mom next week Wednesday is our convocation, are you aware of that" I say to my mum at the dining table.

"When did I become a mind reader or am I part of your board in your school? How do you expect me to know?" she answers sarcastically.

"Anyways, it's on Wednesday and Richard's own is on Saturday so I think we need to go shopping to pick a dress"

"Oh no problem with that anyways, so when are we going?"

"Actually, that's not the main reason why I'm telling you"

"Then why"

"To know if dad's gonna be able to make it"

"Actually, I have no answer to that but I really do doubt it"

"Okay then it's a normal thing already and I have gotten used to it already. It just hope that he comes for my wedding"

"Don't talk like that you know it's not his fault, he's trying his best to provide everything we need"

"Of course I never said it was his fault anyways I'll be leaving home by 10:00am tomorrow morning so we can talk about what to wear and how to get it fast as least latest Saturday cos today is Thursday already"

"That's true though just make sure you come back early"

"Sure mum" I reply yawning.

"I need to go to bed now"

"No problem sweetheart."

"Love you mummy" I say giving her a hug

"Love you too daughter"

"Hell no, let's wear white" Richard shouted.

"Seriously, Collins you are very funny, why would you expect guys to wear pink, that's absurd your girlfriend likes pink, and so fucking what, we are gonna wear lemon, that's final" I say to all of them. "Seriously lemon? Rhoda you must be kidding no one's gonna wear lemon.White is the best." Richard tackles again

"You know what, let the ladies choose their color and let the guys choose their color, okay?" Bessie suggests.

"And don't forget that it's two different occasions" Kira adds.

"That is true and that's the best option so far" Fred says

The guys went into the room while the ladies continued their arguments outside.

"You know what, Bessie's best color is pink, my best color is pink as well, yours is lemon so it's best we wear pink and white on Saturday and lemon and white on Wednesday case closed" Kira said

"Yeah, that's a very nice idea" Bessie acknowledge.

"That's the best thing to do" I said as well

"So what have you guys agreed to wear?"

"Um my best colour is white, collin's best colour is lemon and Fred's best colour is Red so on Wednesday we are putting on Lemon and white and on Saturday. Red and white" Richard explains.

"Wow, so coincidental" Bessie says and quickly explains our choices to them and they clap in ecstasy at our achievements.

"Seriously Kira you should be saying thank you to Fred because he's not even convocating with us and here he is planning with us"

Collins says to Kira.

"It's no big deal, it's not like I attended my convocation during my own time anyway so everything works together for good" he says smiling at us.

"So when are we going for shopping?" Bessie asks.

"What kind of question is that? For crying out loud today is Friday already. We are going tomorrow" Kira says to her.

"You know what I'm not going with the girls, Okay I can't afford to spend the whole day in the boutique, because they never make their decisions fast" Collins says and we all laugh.

"I think that's a good idea, you guys go on your own while we go on our own" Richard added.

"Whatever that's you guy problem" I say to them and we all burst out laughing.

*************************************************

"Yeah, I heard that her dad is from America as well she's really pretty"

"Have you seen her boyfriend, oh my goodness. He's really stunning"

"Did he come as well?"

"Yeah sure, he's the guy on white suit with a lemon tie, ehn.......yes, have you seen him"

"Wow, how I wish he was mine"

These gossips flooded my ears as I was called up stage as the first out of only two people to graduate with a first class in my department. I sent as icy state to them and they became silent immediately I can have them talk about me for years but surely not to covet my boyfriend. I'll never allow that.

Richard also came out with a first class while Bessie, Kira and Collins had second class upper honour, I bet Bessie talked away what she was supposed to put down in the exam hall. Kira was being a bitch all along and Collins was being haunted by what he did.

Now that I'm done with school. I'm going back to where I came from but can I really go and leave my heart behind. Can I leave without Richie? I guess I 'm somewhat confused right now
