"We should hangout like old times with our crew, good to see you return to your old self Brown." Hunter winked at Dorothy with his forest green eyes walking past her hurrying to the class.

She blushed with a goofy smile at the request and nodded to her old friend following behind to the class.

You know you can't change him right!?

I can change Terry, I know he is learning by spending time with me. I'll do my best to bring salvation topic over our conversation sometimes.

Not bring Dorothy, talk to him thoroughly.

I will do that.

Dorothy, Jesus Christ is the one who can save him and not you. Don't force Terry to be saved for you to continue to date him, it doesn't work that way. The time will come according to GOD'S will and he'll be saved but don't force salvation on him for your sake.

He said to them: Go into all the world and preach the good news to ALL creation. Mark 16:15

I know what I taught you Dorothy, but right now you are twisting the words to work on your favor.

I am in class, please let's continue this conversation later.

Yes you are in class but your eyes are all on Terry.

Truth to be told, her hazel eyes shining upon the boy at the third column from her, Terry Greenwood.

"Someone has got an admire." Charity giggled tapping by the tip of her blue pen to Dorothy's hands which was supporting her chin rested on her desk.

"Huh!?" Dorothy shifted her gaze blinking at Charity.

Amiable brown eyed girl wiggled her brows to the second column to their left to the boy in his grey fitted t-shirt.

"While you are checking your hot species, there is a fine species admiring you."

Daniel Stanford.

When Dorothy's hazel eyes met Daniel, he gave him a small smile and she couldn't ignore returning the favor. She turned her head at the teacher who was in the middle of the period avoiding Daniel who started signaling him something.

There is no way Daniel Stanford was admiring her that way, the way which Charity was thinking, no way.

"Do you know him?" Charity whispered.

"We are in the same class, aren't we!?" Dorothy whispered back.

"No, I mean Yes. We are in the same class but you know what I mean duh.!" Charity whispered harshly.

Yes I know him. We attend the same church, we are in the same praise and worship team, same youth club and same neighborhood. How can I not know him!?

"I don't want to be kicked out of the class like last time Cherry, let's focus." Dorothy whispered, her eyes fixing Infront of the class.

Charity shivered beside her "Shit you are right."

Dorothy swallowed the curse and didn't comment any further.

"Talking about last time, it wasn't our..."

"Charity Ross." Mrs. Wilson voice heard across the class.

Uh-oh.

"Ye-Y-Yes Ma'am." Charity stutter.

"Get.out.of.my.class.now" She drew each word with intensity.

"I wasn't..."

"Get.out." she pointed at the door which make the whole class attention to their direction and sitting middle column wasn't helping at all.

"I didn't..."

"Out." She pointed at her and the door.

"This is not fair, I was...."

"OUT." She gritted her teeth in rage.

Charity collected her things, thrusting in her small black handbag furiously.

"This woman really hate me, no she hate us Doe... don't you think!?" Charity grumbled seeking support from her friend who froze in fear scribbling something over her notebook.

Am sorry Cherry.

Charity scoffed "Seriously, Doe!?"

"Charity Ross." Miss Wilson warned.

"Okay, woman. Am out of here." Charity complained hurried out of the class and slammed the door making the half of the class to flinch.

°°°°°°°°°°°
"What were you doing!?" Scarlet asked raising her brow at Dorothy.

"Thinking about the food in fornt of me." Dorothy shrugged.

"Thinking about the food!?" Grace questioned and Dorothy shrugged again avoiding her black orbs.

"Weren't you praying!?" Charity asked before biting her slice of Chicken Pizza.

"What with all the questions, even if I was praying do you have a problem with it!?" Dorothy asked sternly holding her gaze to Charity who pouted.

Are you ashamed to say that you were praying!?

No.

Why didn't you say Yes, I was praying when asked!?.

Well...

If anyone is ashamed of me and my words, the son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and the holy angels. Luke 9:26

I did wrong GOD, please forgive me.

"No need to get defensive, are you mad at me?" Charity whined.

"Am not mad at you, you were..."

"Amen." A whispered from Grace stopped their case.

Since the cafeteria was busy, no one noticed their bickering.

A chuckle escaped Scarlet "Were you praying?"

"Yes, I was thanking GOD for the food Carly." Grace smiled at her.

"Aw, such a holy child." She mimicked the mothery tone.

"Well, thank you."

"I was being sarcastic Gee." Scarlet rolled her eyes.

"I know Carly." Grace smiled taking a small portion of the pizza to her mouth.

Grace looked at Dorothy who bite her lip and gulped looking at Scarlet who sipping her orange juice.

Is this why you are afraid to pray, because of the mockery!?

No.

Are you afraid that you won't look cool enough because you pray!?

Am not sure.

"Are we going at Cherry's for our discussion after school!?" Dorothy changed the topic starting feeding herself.

"Let's go to Scars, am sure her Mom won't mind us swimming after studying." Charity smiled at them.

"Why don't we..."

"Your admire is admiring you again!" Charity exclaimed cutting of Grace who started talking.

"Admire!?" Scarlet and Grace asked at the same time in pure curiosity.

"Doe's admire." Like a Chisere cat, Charity smiled.

"No he is not." Dorothy protested.

"You've got an admire?" Grace asked smiling gently at her.

"No am not." She shook her head in denial.

"Daniel Stanford." Charity giggled and Scarlet laughed.

"No he is not." Dorothy full lips pressed in a thin line.

"And... he is coming our way." Scarlet smirked looking at Daniel who hold his tray of food walking to their direction.
