So I decided to do the above Cover using four different pictures and various fonts. Not the best, I know. I'm trying to get the hang of it.

This chapter is dedicated to chocybet

Enjoy.

I could sense all eyes on me, that part was obvious. It wasn't that scary, but it just popped out of nowhere and my heart couldn't stop beating. I heard couple of steps, but I couldn't react to it. I was trying to clear my head.

"What is it?" Judith asked, gaining my attention. I quickly noticed Omonigho and Irene walking towards me too. I bent down and quickly pick up my phone, before they could see what was on the screen.

"T?" Omonigho asked softly, staring at the phone I subtly placed in my skirt pocket. "What is it?"

I gulped down the lump in my throat, and opened my mouth slightly. "Nothing."

Judith stared at me suspiciously, but decided to let it go, cause she knew I would tell her what was going on, at the end of the day. "I-I need to use the restroom."

I rushed out of their presence, and out of the classroom. I moved over to the classroom I had met Jubilee the other day, and I was glad it was empty.

What the hell is this?

I began to pace back and forth, after I had placed my phone on a desk. I just couldn't touch my phone at that moment, as I tried to clear my head.

The door to the classroom opened slowly and in walked Jeremiah. I wasn't expecting him, but I was more than grateful he was here.

"Jeremiah," I breathed out, half walking and half jogging towards him. Without thinking, I placed my arms around him, and gave him a tight hug. Jeremiah hesitated a bit, I could feel it. Before wrapping his arms around me.

"It's alright," I heard him say, before patting my back softly. "Everything is going to be alright."

It took almost a minute to calm my beating heart, before deciding to seat on the tiled floor. Jeremiah found a space beside me, my phone in his hands.

Jeremiah didn't bother asking for my password, as he placed the phone on the floor. "Are you going to tell me what's going on?"

I'd be stupid not to. Jeremiah was the only person I could truly trust apart from Judith. So if I couldn't tell him, I wasn't sure I could tell anyone else. I reached for my phone and unlocked it. Immediately I had done that, the picture which was sent to me, poped out. Jeremiah stared at it, his features unfazed.

"Do you have a clue of whom must have done this?" Jeremiah asked me.

On my phone screen, was a picture of Tatiana and some girl. Both had their hands on each others shoulders, as they smiled at the camera. The other girl had a darker skin and was a little bit taller than T.

What shocked me was the gruesome editing. The darker girl's chest was opened, showcasing a fake well edited bleeding heart. The darker skinned girl had a bloody face. You could hardly see her face, except from her large grin smile, showcasing her perfectly white teeth.

Written across T's face was the word 'MURDERER', in red colour. It really did gave me a shock. Knowing someone like this was out there and would do anything to kill T or me, was terrifying.

"I don't know," I shook my head sideways. "But I've got a wide guess."

"Who?" Jeremiah asked, ready to listen to my theory. "And that person must actually know Happiness."

"That's Happiness?" I asked with stunned eyes. Jeremiah sighed and nodded his head slowly. "Oh my God, oh my effing God!" I began to panic again.

"What's your wild guess?" Jeremiah asked calmly. I might be stupid, but I know a clue when I see one. And this can't just happen out of the blue. It must be connected.

"J-Jubilee," I stuttered. Jeremiah had a raised brow, indicating for me to go on. "He stopped me this morning and asked what I was doing after school and then asked for my phone and typed his number in it."

I involuntarily licked the button of my lips cause it was starting to  get dry. "I had this disturbing picture minutes after I had given him my number. Besides, this number is different from the other number! He certainly has a hand in this!"

"Jeremiah," I gazed at him. I thought he wouldn't do the same, but he surprised me by staring back at me. I never knew I would ever admit this in my life, but this was real and it was happening to me. "I'm scared. I try to be strong but__"

"You don't have to be," Jeremiah stopped me from speaking any further. "You don't have to pretend to be strong all the time."

I nodded my head, looking down at the tiled floor. "Are you meeting him up after school?"

I quickly lifted my head and stared at Jeremiah in bewilderment. "I dey mad? I just said the guy might be trying to hurt me!"

Jeremiah gave a ghost smile. If I wasn't looking at that moment, I wouldn't have witnessed it. He looked at my phone, which was still in his possession. I watched as he went over to the dial section and input something in it.

"Here's my number," He said to me, before handing my phone back to me. "You can meet Jubilee after school today. Get to know what he's up to."

"You're sending me on a suicide mission?!" I asked in disbelief. "I might not make it back alive!"

Jeremiah chuckled. Yeah you heard right, the guy laughed. "There's a reason why I'm giving you my number. You'll send his address to me. Dami and I, would be close by. If he does anything stupid, text me and I'll be there. If it goes smoothly, don't forget to text me once you get home."

I sighed, as I felt my nervousness ease a bit. "Thank you." Jeremiah nodded, but said nothing.

Dami.

"Hey," I sat upright once my fear was completely gone and I could act like my normal self again. "About Dami, does he like..... Does he like...." I chuckled all of a sudden, as I remembered Omonigho's expression. Jeremiah on the other hand, furrowed his brows at me. "Does he like Omonigho?"

"We're in the middle of something important and you decide to ask this?" Asked a confused Jeremiah.

I pressed my lips together, before commenting. "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy."

"Not with the expense of your life," He replied sternly. I looked down at the floor, scolding myself inwardly for even bringing up that topic. "Could you set them up if I replied with a yes?"

That's gonna be a yes.

"Definitely," My wide grin was back. "I'll definitely do that."

                     ~°~°~°~°~

I texted Jeremiah, once I had gotten to Jubilee's resident. It wasn't hard to get there, since Jubilee literally took me to his home himself.

Coming out of his car, I gaze at the magnificent building in front of me. Why were they so rich?! It was like being poor, wasn't in their dictionary.

"This is your home? Gosh, it's beautiful." I couldn't help but comment, as I moved forward. "Are your parents not going to be mad at you?"

"Mad at me?" Jubilee's tone held confusion. "Why would they be mad at me?"

At home, well at the ghetto. I couldn't bring a boy home. I couldn't bring anyone home. It was a miracle my parents even approved of Judith. But when Idara decided to bring a boy home, mum and dad would turn a blind eye and won't even ask her questions.

"You're bringing a girl home," I said to him, as we walked into the living room. "Won't they flog you or something." Jubilee chuckled deeply at my words.

Back then in the ghetto, whenever I brought a school mate home and that school mate happened to be the opposite sex, mum and dad would use me as a punching bag. They would beat the living hell out of me, breaking my bones and giving me huge bruises like I wasn't their child.

Guess I wasn't after all.

"They are hardly at home," Jubilee said nonchalantly, leading me to the couch. "Why would they even get mad at me."

"Do your parents punish you in such manner, cause mine has never laid their hands on me." Jubilee confessed, as I sat on the brown lathered couch.

Yes.

"Of course not," I was meant to be T right? Which meant I was the spoilt child whom happened to be wrapped in a serial killer fingers, but haven't been beating by her parents. The irony.

Jubilee gazed at me a bit, then stood up from the couch he was seated on. "Do you need something?"

No.

I bit my lower lips to think. I didn't want anything from him, so I decided to think of something I knew he might not have at home. "An apple juice would be fine."

"Coming right up," He said, making my jaw drop. I watched as he moved over to where I guess the kitchen must be located. Not too long after that, he came out with an apple juice pack and a glass cup. Both resting on a silver tray.

Placing the item on the stool beside the couch I was sitting on, I decided to ask the one question that was bugging me. "Why'd you bring me here?"

Jubilee shrugged and laid back smoothly on the couch. "To fix drones. Fixing it with you the other day, seemed less boring."

That couldn't be the only reason he wanted me here, and I could feel it. "Alright then," I gave him a warm smile. "You could go bring out the drones."

"I will," Jubilee got up from his couch and sat on mine. He placed his hands in his side pocket and brought out his phone. "But first," Jubilee made his phone to lit up, and then clicked on his contact. "What should I save your name as?"

What a stupid question, and they said I was the dumb one. But he might be asking permission to save it as T. He wasn't seen as a friend to me, so I wouldn't let him.

"Tatiana of course," I said to him. "Stop asking the obvious."

Jubilee pressed his side button, making his screen to go blank yet again. "I wish I could," I watched as he leaned back against the chair, his eyes never leaving mine.

"Just that, you ain't Tatiana."

Eddy : So I decided to come online around 3am this morning, and so a message from someone on my wattpad dm.... She must have sent it 7pm or so, but I didn't noticed.

Guys, do not envy anyone on Wattpad. It isn't a survival to the fittest place. We the Writers are here to practice more and to see if our works could be lovable. I'm also lacking a lot, and writing here helps.

And to the readers, don't make a writer seem down. Writing here isn't a job to us, if it feels like a job, the chapters would be messed up. We are only doing it cause we love it and it seems fun. Give constructive criticism and go with the flow.

With that said, what do you think about this chapter???

Vote if you love or hate it, comment and share to other wattpaders.

Till next time,

Much love,
