TOO LATE

The embarrassment was just to much for Emerens to bear, she excused herself from the class room and ran to a very quiet environment, she would probably still go the class. Thus, she had to face her problem once and shame it.

In the classroom, Jessica felt like she has successfully put Emerens back in place. "Suckers should always learn to know their place." She fumes when she noticed someone was walking very close to her, she looked from the person's shoes straight to the face, and it was Ella. "What do you want?"

"I came to ask you a question." Ella smiles. "It's just a simple question, just answer."

At first, Jessica felt like physically assaulting her, but she held back because she was on punishment. "What is it?"

The students were still watching, they always enjoyed the scene of Ella versus Jessica.

"What exactly are you? An animal or a monster?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Oh yes." Ella nods. "Because you aren't a human, so I just want to be sure if you are an animal or a monster."

Jessica could feel her blood boiling, even on her seat, she still wants to jump at Ella and give her a serious beating.

"Get lost." Jessica whispers. "I don't want to get into any fights."

"Really? You don't want to get into any fights? Or you don't have any more people to pay for your crimes and mistakes?" Ella mocks.

Jessica thought of it, if Emerens should ever turn her back on her. It would be hell for her, no more friends, who would want to be friends with someone like that?

"Shut it and get lost." Jessica whispers again.

"I am surprised you are still sitting, you should have jumped at me now." Ella smiles. "What? Are you afraid of being expelled?"

"I said get lost." Jessica says as she stood and was about hitting her opponent, when all of Ella's friends stepped in."

"You see, I have friends who definitely have my back all the time. But you don't have any." Ella mocks again.

"Darifa." Jessica calls. "You used to be my friend, how come you are like this now?"

"You never saw me as a friend, you treated me like a slave." Darifa replies.

Just in time, before things get heated a teacher walks in. "What is going on here?" A male teacher in his late twenties cuts in. He was young and very handsome, his voice matches his physical appearance.All students settled immediately and await his next instruction. The teacher walks to Ella and says, "see me after the school hours in my office."

Ella found him disgusting, as he smacked his lips and looks at her in a very sexual manner while talking. "Yes Mr Alfred."

Chris parked somewhere very close to his ex wife's house, he watched Asma closely as she left for school. He had been with his wife for years now, so he knew she wasn't going to her store until 12pm. Immediately Asma left for school, he head straight to the building.

The knock got Alima a little worried, did Asma forget something? Why did she come back? She though, but when she opened the door it was a different situation. Her ex husband, the father of her child was there standing, right in front of her.

"My love." Chris calls softly.

"Good morning." Alima greets ignoring the fact that he called her love. To be sincere, she really misses him but what can she do, he seems to be happy where he is.

"Good morning, how was your night?"

"My night was okay, what are you doing here? It's not time for the official visit."

"I came here to see you, not our daughter." Chris hold her hands. "Please let me in."

It's been a while since she last felt his touch, the felling ran all through her body that made her want to lay in bed with him again. But no!!!!! He is a cheat.

She opens the door and let him in,both sat on the couch facing each other.

"Why did you want to see me?"

"Alima." Chris calls and moves closer to her, but she moves back. Maintaining a particular space between them. "I know I have betrayed you, I know I've done so many bad things, but please I want you to take me back."

"Take you back?" Alima asks with surprise. "What about your mistress Aziza?"

"Apparently, she was after my money, I found out yesterday."

"You found out she was after money yesterday?" Alima asks again.

"Yes." Chris nods.

"So if you hadn't found out, you won't be here to beg."

"That's not what I mean." Chris tries to convince.

"I don't care whatever you say, it's too late." Alima says and stands. "I can't take you backs, leave right now before I call the police."

"Alima please let's try to settle this like the adults that we are."

"You think I don't know about you and Julie?" Alima asks loudly. "You are not even worth being a father, get out right now!!!" She yells.

Chris stood and left sadly, Alima shuts the door weeping hard. She felt bad sending him away like that, but that was the best thing to do. He was nothing but a cheat.
