I will do the seducing....

Inayah finished taking her bath after arriving at the house. She was drying her wet hair when her phone started ringing and she picked it up.

''Hello, Aunt''

''Silly girl, I'm outside and I want to see your face''

''Oo'' Inayah hung up and put on her long white t-shirt which reached to her knees and wore one of her short ripped jeans shorts.

Inayah ran out and saw her aunt and Clara standing at their car. ''Aunt''

''Silly girl, were you planning on not telling me what happened at school tonight?'' Miss Gladys pulled Inayah closer and started scanning her face. Inayah looked at Clara and glared at her.

''I told her it could wait till tomorrow but she wanted to see you'' Clara defended herself.

''Aunt, I'm alright. It doesn't hurt anymore''

''That girl, seriously. She is a psycho. Should we sue her? I will make her family even more poorer than they've become''

''No, aunt. I will deal with her in my own way''

''But, she slapped you. How am I going to explain this situation to your mother when she visits me in my dreams?''

''She won't visit you. Besides, aunt. I have a plan. I will take her down myself''

''What plan do you have?''

''Aunt, is late. You should go and rest. I will tell you my plan later tomorrow''

''Yes, mom. Didn't you say you're travelling to the outskirts for a program? You need to rest''

''Okay. But, you must call me if something like this happens'' Miss Gladys kissed Inayah's forehead.

''Yes, she will call'' Clara said as she pulled her mother into the car.

Inayah waved at them and waited until they left before she turned. Her gaze shifted to the mansion and she looked at the CCTV that was directly facing her.

Inayah smiled and waved at the camera before going into her house.

Jasper who was watching her all that while from the security room smiled. He took his phone and made a call.

''Don't proceed yet. Wait for my call''

...

Fountain High School.

Ladies Washroom.

Bertha sat inside one of the stalls calming herself down as she muttered.

''This is the right thing to do, right? I'm doing the right thing. I can't keep pretending like I don't know anything and let Samantha destroy my best friend''

She looked at the video in her phone again and pressed the send button. Sending it to Inayah's email. After that, she let out a deep relieved breath, feeling free.

Inside the classroom, Inayah was watching some videos on her u-tube when her email popped up. she looked at the sender and murmured, ''where is she and is sending me a mail? She likes to act so secretively lately. Maybe it's one of her funny videos, let me check it out''

Inayah's hands quivered and the phone almost fell out of her hands. She stood up abruptly and her gaze darkened.

''Hey, are you alright?'' Clara asked as she looked at Inayah.

Inayah scanned the class and asked, ''where is Berth?''

''She told me she was going to the washroom. why?''

''I'd be back'' Inayah said and walked out of the classroom.

'Where is she going?'' Noah asked.

''I don't know''

Ladies Washroom.

Inayah entered the washroom and started counting the stalls. She stopped at the forth one and opened it. When she saw Bertha, she lifted her brows questionably at her.

''Hi'' Bertha said nervously.

''Hi? Hey, we already saw each other this morning, so let's skip the greetings. What is this?'' Inayah asked, showing her the video.

''Let's talk at a more private place'' Bertha said and walked out, Inayah following her.

Inayah stopped at the stairs when she saw Bertha going towards the rooftop.

''Berth…'' Inayah shook her head.

''It's alright, I'm here with you. Just like I was with you back then''

''No, let's talk here. Tell me. What is the meaning of that video you sent to me?'' Inayah refused to get passed the stairs to the rooftop.

Bertha leaned against the metal holders. ''It is just as it is. I should have given it you earlier. I just couldn't find the right time to do it. Are you mad at me?''

'Oh, yes. I am very mad at you. Where did you get that video? Has anyone else seen that video?'' Inayah asked.

'''No one has seen it, but you're the third person who knows about it''

''Who else knows about it?''

''Firstly, I want you to know that I would have given that video to you regardless of whether we became friends again or not. I just didn't find the right time to do. I wanted to give it to you when you're desperate enough about fighting Samantha. Believe it or not; it was a coincidence. That night, I wanted to take a nap and go home late. But, I found out Gideon was going to confess to you. I just wanted to record it and use it to make memes and make fun of him when you reject him. But, after what happened, I was scared out of my wits and I didn't know what to do…''

Inayah suddenly pulled Bertha into a hug as the latter started to babble on. ''Speak slowly. I was just joking. I'm not mad. But, you have to tell me everything you know about what happened? You know I can't still remember vividly what really happened''

''Okay. Then, let's talk more after closing'' Bertha became relieved.

''Okay'' Inayah held Bertha's hand and they turned to go and saw Gideon.

Gideon smiled as he walked over to them. ''Hi, girls. I hope I didn't interrupt anything. You girls looked so intimate''

Inayah frowned and asked. ''What exactly is your problem, Gideon?''

''Trust me. I'm on your side, Inayah. What do you say? Will you take my hand?'' he asked, stretching forth his hand.

''What do you think this is? A reunion?'' Bertha asked sarcastically.

''Are you really on my side?'' Inayah asked.

''Yes. She is on your side, I am curious about her, so I am on your side too. Also, someone needs to pay for what happened. Don't you think so?'' Gideon said as his gaze shifted to Bertha.

''How about we start with you telling me what the hell happened to you?'' Inayah stamped on his foot.

''Inayah, that hurt'' Gideon said as he touched his leg. Inayah was careful enough not to hurt the one that was really hurt, even though he seemed already healed.

''Serves you right for being a jerk'' Bertha said and Gideon pulled her back as she walked away.

'Not you, I believe we have some unfinished business''

Inayah looked at him suspiciously and asked, ''Gideon, are you by any chance interested in my best friend?''

'Maybe. Her way of thinking is quite unique. And she has a lot of habits I'm curious about''

''I see. Then, I will leave the two of you to your personal business'' Inayah said and started walking away.

''Hey!! Ayah, how could you betray me this way?'' Bertha screamed at Inayah who continued to walk away as Gideon trapped her.

''So, Berth. What will it be? Will you do the seduction or do I have to do it?''

Bertha sighed and looked at him. ''Do you really want to do this?''

''Yes. I can't sleep well when I'm curious about something. You've been in my head for a while now. Back then and even now''

''Okay. Let's do it your way then'' Bertha said and suddenly pulled him closer and flipped their position. It was a swift move that took Gideon by surprise and he wasn't quick enough to react early. She smirked looking at his confused expression and leaned closer into his ear and whispered, ''I will do the seduction. Remember, don't go home crying because your little heart got broken because of a bet. I am the ''girl your mother warned you about''

Bertha kissed his cheek and chuckled as she turned, walking away. Gideon's legs became jelly and he fell down in total shock. He touched his cheek and muttered.

''What just happened?''
