Adam had finally helped Charlotte out from drowning and he was carrying her and laid her down on the floor. Everyone quickly rushed over to see Charlotte.

"Charlotte, Charlotte?" shouted Adam quietly and there was no response from her and he tapped her gently on shoulder. Charlotte had already lost conscious because of the phobia she had on swimming pool.

"She's not responding,"screamed Vivian

"She will come back to life don't scream please," replied Idris the celebrant, patting Vivian on her back. Adam saw she wasn't responding he quickly did the mouth-to-mouth- resuscitation on her

"What!" terrified Princess at the sight of Adam mouth on Charlotte's mouth.

Charlotte finally gained conscious after the cardiopulmonary resuscitation on her. She sneezed twice and opened her eyes.

"She's alive." shouted everyone happily except for Princess who was bittered and also remorseful.

"Thanks goodness." said Vivian happily, she quickly rushed to their side

"Charlotte," said Vivian quietly and she and Adam helped her up from the floor

"Bring her here please," said Idris and he brought out a chair for Charlotte to sit down

"Thanks Adam." said Vivian and she turned to Charlotte "Are you comfortable Charlotte?"asked Viv

"Yes," replied Charlotte and she saw everyone looking at her and she was embarrassed "I don't like the crowd please, I need to go home."said Charlotte quietly

"Please everyone you can go back to seat, I think she's fine now. "said Idris and everyone returned to their seats

"Thank you!"

"Here's tea, Charlotte." said Caleb he handed her a cup of tea

"Where did you get it from?"

"From the kitchen, I requested for it!"

"Oh from the maid"

"Yeah."

"Thank you Caleb."

"You don't have to thank me, what are friends for."

Charlotte sipped the tea quietly and Vivian broke the silence

"Charlotte, what happened?"

"She pushed me inside the pool."

"Who?" shouted Vivian eyes widening

"That's her!" Charlotte caught Princess approaching to their side

"Princess?" asked Vivian eyes widening and Adam was shocked at the news

"You mean Princess called you out in order to pushed you inside the pool."asked Adam red in face

"Charlotte, I'm very sorry" said Princess pretending

Vivian turned over to fight Princess and Caleb quickly withheld her from fighting her.

"You little she goat, let my hand touch you. You will be very sorry for yourself." said Vivian threatening and she was furious for not laying hands on her "Please let me go." said Vivian pleading with Caleb from his grip

"Please stop it, don't fight her."said Caleb gently

"Guys please don't fight,"said Idris pleading

"Why would she pushed her into the swimming pool."asked Vivian angrily

"I accidentally did that. It wasn't intentional."said Princess pretending to sob

"Its okay Princess,"said Caleb

"You liar," said Charlotte looked at her questioning

"I'm sorry Charlotte, I didn't mean it, please Adam help me to beg her." said Princess acting up

"Are you sure you didn't pushed her inside the pool?" asked Adam unconvinced

"Yes,"replied Princess

"Its fine Princess you can go,"said Adam

"Are you not going home now?"asked Princess

"Not now,"said Adam

"Okay," said Princess unhappy and she was boiling inside with anger against Charlotte.

"I know she's lying, "said Vivian

"Let it go please."said Caleb

"What if something bad had happened, that was how she will meekly say sorry." said Vivian scornfully

"Thank God, Charlotte is fine."said Idris

"So Charlotte you don't know how to swim?"asked Caleb

"No," replied Charlotte embarrassed

"Its okay I will teach you how to swim."said Caleb softly

"I will teach you myself."said Adam he quickly cut in and everyone was puzzled at his response

"Okay Adam,"replied Charlotte smiling at Adam and Caleb was jealous

"Can we go home now, it's already getting late."said Vivian

"Yes thanks everyone for helping me." said Charlotte smiling at the guys beside her

"You're welcome,"said everyone and they'll parted ways

Charlotte left with Vivian, Caleb and Adam and they'll went home.

At Vivian's house they were having their dinner and Vivian's mother broke the silence.

"So Viv, you said someone pushed Charlotte into the swimming pool?"asked mother

"Yes mommy."replied Vivian

"Why'll someone did that?"asked mother curious

"She's wicked I think,"remarked Vivian

"That's not right, and it's not everyone that knows how to swim." said her mom

"Yes mom."said Vivian continued eating

"She needs to be cautious so next time it won't happen again."said mother displeased

"I've warned her myself and she knows next time I won't take it likely with her. No one does that with my best friend and go scot free."said Vivian

"Be careful dear, you can just report her to the school authority and stay away from her both you and Charlotte." warned mother

"Okay mom, good night." Vivian pecked her mother before leaving the dining table.

"Good night sweetie."said mother

The following week, at Charlotte house, it was already morning. Charlotte was beside the standing mirror adjusting her school uniform.

"Charlotte you said I shouldn't follow you to school?"

"Yes Debbie I can sort it myself and moreover I've warned her that day. It has been settled." said Charlotte nonchalantly

"You know I don't take nonsense, let her know if she try that with you next time I will be the one to beat her mercilessly." threatened Deborah

"I trust you madam beater."chuckled Charlotte

"Its not funny Charlotte, why would she pushed you inside the pool."said Deborah frankly

"I know but this time around I won't take it likely with her. Trust me Debbie." grinned Charlotte

"I hope so,"replied Deborah

"Charlotte, Charlotte!" shouted her mother from the sitting room

"Yes Mommy,"replied Charlotte inside

"Come here fast and collect your food money,"

"Okay mom am coming."Charlotte picked her school bag from the wall side and turned to Debbie "See you in the evening, bye Debbie." Charlotte quickly rushed out to meet her mom in the sitting room.
