Chapter Twenty-Four — The Big Business Blast…

AT SKYE EVANDER HIGH SCHOOL

It was a week after Desha's suspension got terminated; Desha seemed to play cool with everyone. Students believed her even at the slightest of her lie. The Resolute were going on well as Jemima and Jayden appeared to be in an unstable relationship. But within Desha, she wished she could flare up and show her true colors. She was always red with anger each time she saw Jayden and Jemima together or students talking about them being together.

Classes were all thru and the dismissal bell rang. The students left their classrooms and waited to go to their respective homes. Desha's chauffeur picked up Desha immediately after school ended. Meanwhile, the callous boss, Desha had called The Teacube Triplets and The Sunset Flirts over to her house so that they could conclude their big business plans.

AT THE SINCLAIRES' MANSION

"You seem to be the only one at home, where are your parents and siblings?" One of the triplets, Troy asked curiously as he looked around the vast mansion.

The callous Desha immediately replied, "My pop travelled to Luristanes for a business seminar and my mom is late…I'm the only child."

"Sorry…" the triplets and the flirts muttered. They were indeed sorry for her. Being an only child could be boring sometimes, only her at home…with no mother too.

After a long interval of silence, Kitty then spoke up: "Hey girlie, I gat an idea on how to perfect the plan."

"How bravura!" Desha shrieked. "Can't just wait to watch that ugly bitch regret ever stepping her feet into Skye Evander High School."

Dawn: [Giggles] "C'mon Desha! Take it easy, chillax…"

"But there's a problem!" Kitty interrupted.

"A problem?" Desha asked. "What problem?"

"We don't know this girl that much. What's her name?" Dawn asked. "Where is she from? And what's your tie with her?"

"I thought I told you girls all that from day one. She is Jemima Stephenson, from Eridan. She snatched my beau, snatched my fame and made me useless before people."

"Oh!" The triplets muttered, there were smiling stupidly and could not hold back their laughter. Desha was too embarrassed to say such things before people like these.

"And now, my privilege to join the school's contest is now seized all because of that Jemima girl." Desha added. Her blood was boiling and even the triplets and flirts could feel it.

"Why does it feel like I've heard that name somewhere but I can't remember where exactly?" Kitty asked Dawn and Dawn's lips wrenched in uncertainty.

After Desha recovered herself from her deep anger, she could only turn to the flirts and said, "So we're gonna activate our plan on that day and then boom, it goes viral."

Troy: "What if the plan backfires…like kinda boomerang or something like that?"

Desha could only gaze furiously at the Teacube Triplets. "This plan won't backfire…or boomerang if you guys play your cards well."

"Okay…" The Teacube Triplets muttered angrily. They only glared and scowled but they dare not talk back at her or else, hell was gonna let loose.

The Teacube Triplets sauntered to the living room. They were unhappy because Desha treated them with disdain and favored the girls only.

"Can't just wait to have my huge dosh soon." Troy whispered to Tristan.

"Me too! I'm just pissed off already; she's too inept and irrational." Trevor whispered to the other boys, making sure that Desha could not hear them.

"Never knew such character like her existed…" Tristan chipped in.

Back at Desha's bedroom, Kitty and Dawn were planning and arranging a plan on how to bring down Jemima.

"Why does it feel like I've heard of that name, Jemima?" Kitty asked in her slinky voice as she played with her hair. Dawn didn't say a thing but her lips wrenched in uncertainty as usual.

"The plan is surely going well, can't just wait to see her in pain." Desha giggled. She was indeed the daughter of the devil.

Kitty: "Yeah, it's sure going well! You're so drastic."

Desha couldn't help but stern up. "Too many praise kills the young fella. Let's focus for now and before we begin to blast trumpets and go into raptures over."

"Okay." The flirts hummed.

Desha trolled to the living room only to sight the dudes playing video game. They were so engrossed in what they were doing and they didn't notice the fuming girl's presence.

"Geez! I can't believe that Player_06 can kill that ugly monster. I can't even kill that ugly monster!" Tristan shrieked in shock. "Not again! She stole my only gofer. I am now powerless! How can I report to the HQ?"

"Just steal another player's gofer and stop acting like a widower." Troy chipped in. He was probably the weediest amongst them but surely had a sweet mouth that could make one fall for him.

"Oh no! I'm stuck in the muck. I can't move my character. And those bloodthirsty rapscallions are coming after me. I need a miracle." Tristan yelled in despair. The triplets were just screaming and yelling except for Troy who found the game easier to deal with. He was gathering more points as he stole other players' gofers. He was now the most powerful in the game, even more powerful than the 'Player_06'.

"How did you do that?" Tristan and Trevor asked the smiley Troy.

Desha could not hold it anymore and she blasted out. "What the f*ck is wrong with you guys?"

The triplets stood up immediately and craned their necks to look at the fuming boss. Her ears were pinkish red and her face bright red. "Uh-oh!' the boys muttered. They were in trouble.

"So who's gonna take the role of the obsessed lover boy?" Desha asked as she looked her to-do-list and looked at the baffled triplets who opened their mouths in shock.

"Obsessed Lover boy?! Him!" Tristan and Trevor pointed at Troy immediately.

Troy: [Shocked] "What?!" [Panicky] "Wait! Not me! Oh no! Not me this time around. I don't even know how to [Counts his fingers] woo, entice or sweet-talk to a girl easily, just as Trevor does!"

Desha peps up her bossy attitude and… "So… [Confused] which one of you is the Trevor?"

Tristan and Troy points at Trevor. Desha pats Trevor gently, "Trevor, you take the role of the obsessed lover boy."

Trevor: "But…"

Desha interrupted him, "No buts…"

The Teacube Triplets shuffled lazily to her bedroom as directed by Desha. "Okay!' Desha turns to The Sunset Flirts, "Well, I'll email you girls once I'm done with the guys, okay?"

The Sunset Flirts grabbed their scarves and headed towards the door. "Okay. See ya!" Desha exhaled as she rambled to her bedroom to focus on The Teacube Triplets. They were really a pain in the ass.
