                    °Uyai's POV°

Today in particular was going to be hectic, and I could feel it. The gang and I had decided to help Dami organize the senior pride. Jeremiah decided to help cause Dami was his best friend. Jubilee was forced to help by me. Judith never wanted a part with the helping, but changed her mind when she noticed Jubilee would be there. She wanted him away from me. Omonigho decided to help cause it was obvious she was in love with Dami. I mean, that girl was an open book.

We've all agreed to meet at the basketball court after this period, which was taught by Miss Royal.

Irene whom happened to be the female social prefect, loved the idea and had decided to contact Adams, her fellow prefect and also their assistants. Jeremiah on the other hand was happy, and at the same time not too happy. He felt he would have caught the person that was too heartless to kidnap me when I was an infant. Why he was blaming himself, I had no idea. But I told him it was okay cause that wasn't the biggest shit going on in my life right about now.

"Okay," Miss Royal clapped her hands in satisfaction, as the automatic bell rung across the room. She headed for her teaching materials. Once she had gathered it all, she turned to the class. "That's it for today guys, see y'all next week."

"We love you Miss Royal!" Screamed Jaja in a loud voice.

"Love y'all too," Miss Royal smiled warmly, not feeling tired of Jaja's obsessed feelings towards her.

Irene quickly placed her books in her backpack, and forced Omonigho and I to do the same. "The stuff needed are already in the court. Let's get going, we've got limited time."

The boys noticed as we stood up and they mirrored our actions. They matched towards us and Dami, placed his hands on Omonigho's shoulder. Omonigho's cheek would have been that of a tomato, if she was white.

We all moved over to the court, and noticed both the boys and girls team training on it. And guess what, my two enemies were present. Yay to that.

Rosemary whom happened to be the female sport prefect, was also the captain of the female basket ball team.

Great!

Femi decided to join the basketball team cause apparently, he was really good at it.

Double great!

"Hey hey!" Dami screamed, trying to get everyone's attention. "Y'all need to leave the court, please."

Rosemary placed the ball under her armpit and walked towards us with Femi, her boyfriend, beside her.

"And why should we do that?" She asked Dami. "You're the head boy, but I'm the head of this court."

"Doesn't me being the head boy, also make me the head of this court?" Dami smirked, winning this round. What I'd noticed about this school, is that they take their positions seriously. It's like a political position to them. But I guess it's because the school do give them opportunities.

Rosemary placed her left hand on her left hip. "So what? You're planning to intimidate me with your post?!"

"Not planning to," Dami sighed. He clearly didn't like her. "But if you don't obey, the principal would just have to punish you, and the seniors would hate you for taking their pride away for this year."

Rosemary foamed in her own venom, as she turned and ordered the females to vacate the court. The captain to the boys team did the same without stress.

"She can be a witch at times," Commented Judith, forcing me to laugh.

"Can be?" Irene scoffed. "She is a witch."

"Let's stop talking about who's a witch and who isn't," Dami sighed and walked over to the decoration stuff placed in an iron bucket. "Let's get working."

We worked in peers. Omonigho was with me, Jeremiah was with Dami, Jubilee was with Judith while Irene, was with Adams, whom happened to be the male social prefect.

"Why didn't you peer up with Jeremiah? thought you guys were now close." Omonigho grasped a curly red ribbon, and decided to hung it below the gold one.

I turned to gaze at Jeremiah, but unfortunately our eyes met. I quickly looked away, and got hold of a green flowering looking deco. "I don't want to."

Omonigho looked out of curiosity but shrugged nonetheless. We ended it at that, then focused our attention on decorating the court.

"So how's you and Dami?" I asked, since the quietness was making me feel a little bit bored.

"I won't lie, I do like him." She said truthfully, with a nice smile plastered on her face. "But I think he just wants me to be his dance to the senior pride, and that's it."

"Haven't you both like..... Gone out?" I asked out of curiosity.

She shrugged, then hung a blue decoration across the red one I was holding. "He's always saying he wants to take me out, but haven't had the time Yet."

He doesn't have the time, cause he's helping me.

I felt guilt rush through me. I would feel a lot better, if they put their priority first. I could handle a day without Dami nor Jubilee, nor even Jeremiah. I knew I will.

"Tatiana!" Yelled Dami, startling everyone in the court. Omonigho and I, watched as he pushed Jeremiah towards us. "He wants to ask you something." Dami got hold of Omonigho's hands, after he had said that. "And I'm stealing you for a minute."

We watched Dami and Omonigho leave, as I felt awkward standing in  front of Jeremiah - like usual. I gaze at him, then grasped a golden string.

"Is there something you want to tell me?" I coughed, trying to cover my nervousness. "A new lead or something?" That had always been the reason behind Jeremiah's and I conversation, right from the start.

"Actually," Jeremiah helped me to hung the string. It was uncomfortable, well to me. He was standing behind me, easily overshadowing my height with his. "I wanted to ask if you could be my date to the senior pride."

I loose my footings upon hearing that. Jeremiah held my waist, to keep me in place. "Must you always be clumsy?" He scolded, but that wasn't what was on my mind.

"Y-You want someone like me to be your dance?" I asked shocked, and out of breath.

"And what's wrong with you?" Jeremiah pressed on.

"I-I'm not T. Yeah I know, she's like a super well known star at this school and I look exactly like her. But the truth still remains that I'm not T." I tried to remind him of that fact.

Jeremiah looked down, and shook his head sideways. "I'm not asking Tatiana to be my date to the senior pride," He leaned closer and whispered into my ear. "I'm asking you, Uyai."

I gulped down and blinked twice. "You want me____"

"Should I kiss you to prove my point?" Jeremiah cut me off.

My eyes widen once he said that, which made me to remember what happened during my supposed swim tutorial.

"O-Oh," I tried holding the visible smile that was showing across my face. "Yes, I'll be your dance."

Same time I had said that, Dami walzed in like no man's business, then leaned towards Jeremiah. "Did she?"

"Yeah," Jeremiah said to his friend, then turned to look at me with the softest eyes I had ever seen on him since we've met. "She did."

                        ~°~°~°~°~

Judith and I laid on her bed, smiling at each other sheepishly. Judith was gonna be Jaja's dance to the senior pride. The notorious boy at the back of the class. According to her, she liked him cause he was funny, which meant he would be fun to be with during the dance. Though she liked him, doesn't mean she like-like him.

Irene on the other hand decided to go with Jubilee, but just as friends. She still disliked and hated his guts, but none of us wanted her to go to the dance without a date.

"So we'll have to go to the mall," Judith squealed excitedly.

I nodded. "Good thing my mum owns one. She promised to let the four of us choose whatever for free."

"Great," Judith bounced a little. She couldn't wait for the next day to arrive already, so she could go select her perfect outfit. "What are you going to get?"

I shrugged a bit, "Will figure it out once I get there."

Judith cared less about my decision, as she was wrapped in her own world. "I'm fine with any skimpy gown, so far it's the colour orange."

Buzz Buzz!

My phone vibrated, interrupting Judith's and I conversation. Once I had grasped it from Judith's bedstead, I checked out the ID and realized it was from my stalker.

Stalker:
Want to know who I am? Then meet with me face to face at the dance. Come alone.

-10 : 48pm

"What's that?" Demanded Judith. I quickly tucked my phone away from her reach.

"Nothing," I sighed. Judith being stubborn as always, reached for my phone and used her strength to get hold of it.

"Meet with me face to face__" She stopped and mumbled the rest words. "Are you shitting me right now?!"

"Calm down Judith," I pleaded for her to lower the tone of her voice. "It might be Happiness."

"News flash dumbass, she's dead!" Judith yelled even more. "You're not going to meet this..... This psycho!"

"I have to!" I yelled back, trying to reason with her. "She might want an explanation."

"Explanation for what exactly? Uh?!" Judith climbed on her bed. "You're still in the dark, same goes to everyone else. This might not be who you think this person is. Why can't you be smart girl?!"

I sighed and got hold of her shoulder, so she could lay back down. "You don't have to worry, I'll be fine."

"I can't stop worrying and you know that. You're my effing bestfriend, Uyai." She stopped talking to calm herself down. I knew she wanted to control her anger towards me for my stupid dumb decision, but I knew what I was doing. "You're not going to see her, at least not alone. I'm coming with you."

"But it says___"

"And hell will I let you go alone!" Judith snapped, cutting me off. "It's not negotiable. I'm coming with you."

Eddy : Do you think Uyai is making the right decision or do you think Judith is only overreacting? Do comment your thoughts on it.

How about Uyai's theory? Do you think she's actually making sense? Do you think it's Happiness that's supposed to be dead, that's doing all this? Would also love to hear your thoughts on it.

Vote if you love or hate this chapter xD. Comment and also share to others.
