CONFRONTATION

Though, the students never liked Jessica, they were happy about her expel, but it seemed too fast. Just two days ago she was given a serious warning so why the immediate expel? Was it because of what happened between her and Emerens? The students thought as they whispered to themselves and made their way back to their various classrooms.

The principal steps down from the podium and pretends to walk out, probably going back to her office. But instead she hid somewhere in the hall watching Jessica and Ella who told her friends to go to the classroom ahead of her very closely.

"You people should go to the class before me, I would join you soon."

"Where are you going?" Darifa asks.

"Ella please, don't try having any sort of conversation with Jessica." Abdullah pleads.

"I don't think you should go anywhere alone for now." Asma suggests.

"It's fine." Ella smiles. "She seems to be waiting for me too." She points to Jessica.

"Okay, go on and have the conversation with her, we would wait for you here." Abdullah says.

"That sounds good." Ella smiles again. "I will be right back." She says and moves close to Jessica.

Jessica stood, motionless. She wasn't even worried about herself, all she could think of is how to save her mom. Lost in the deep thought, when she noticed someone tapped her shoulder, she looks to see who the person was, and it was Ella. "Please, spare my mom."

"Spare your mom? After all she did?"

"She did it to protect me." Jessica sobs.

Tears were nothing to Ella anymore, she wasn't moved by the fact the Almighty Jessica was right in front of her sobbing, begging her to spare her mom. "Your mother crossed the line, and I promise you, I will make sure the rest of her life is meaningless."

"Ella." Jessica calls and immediately goes on her kneels. "Please, spare my mom. She is all I have."

"At least, you still have a mom. You could always go and check her at the prison when necessary. But I don't have any, I miss her so much that I want to see her badly, but it's not possible."

Ella made this very bold statement with a little pain in her voice but not showing or displayed on her face. The principal stood, still watching. Ella was definitely hiding something.

"I told you to leave the school premises immediately." The principal cuts in. "Why are you still here?"

"I am just having a conversation with Ella." Jessica replies still on her kneels.

"Stand!" The principal orders and Jessica obeys. "Get out!" Jessica obeyed silently and exit the area. "And why are you people still here?" She asks looking at Ella and her friends. "Return to your classrooms now!"

The students were about to obey the instruction when she told Ella to stay back. Her friends looks at Ella, hoping there would be no issue and they left for their classrooms.

"Is there something you want to talk to me about?" Ella asks.

"Yes." The principal nods and moves close to her. "Who are you?"

Ella rolls her eyes in a very absurd manner before replying. "Ella smith."

"What are you hiding?"

Ella laughs "A lot, I am hiding a lot of things. What about you? What are you hiding?"

The confidence was top notch, made the principal even doubt if she was thirteen. How can such a young girl be this confident? "I have a lot of things I am hiding too."

"So stop acting like a saint, we all have skeletons in our cupboard." Ella sighs.

"Why didn't you cry yesterday?"

"I have no more tears left to cry." Ella exhaled deeply.

"Return to your class room." The principal says and walks out briskly.

Ella had given the principal something to worry about, she walks into her office and shuts the door loudly leaning on it and thinking of how Ella confronted her. "A lot, I am hiding a lot of things. What about you? What are you hiding?". She drinks a bottle of water to help her relieve her anxiety.

Did she know about my secret? Did she find out by chance? Why would she confront me in that manner?

Lola, a forty years old woman married to a business tycoon and has two kids. She has been into teaching for 12 years and became the school principal 3 years ago. Lola, the principal of the MIND BUILDERS school has something that she was dangerously hiding from people.

The secret was that, she cheats on her husband with guys way younger than she is, probably 15-10 years difference. Alfred was one of them. Lola sat on her chair and bows her head, what if Ella already knows about her secret?

Getting rid of Julie and her daughter had to be done, but it got very snappy when Lola found out Julie also had an affair with Alfred too. As it now, none of these adults seems to be holy as they presumed.

Vivian was enjoying her self, right after watching the movies, Andrew asked her to be his girlfriend which she agrees to. It was like a dream come true for her, finally she got herself a man that actually treats her the way she wants to be treated. She wished Alex was still alive, she would have been so happy about it.

They drove to Andrew's house, but Vivian couldn't go in, it was already late and she still had to drive home that night because of her baby girl. But they ended their date with a very good kiss.

"You should come in." Andrew insists.

"It's getting late, I promise to do that next time. Probably this weekend."

"Really?" Andrew asks with smile and Vivian nods. "Okay I will be expecting you." He alights from the car and walks into his house.

Vivian's eyes follows him until he disappears into the house, she loves him so much and was so happy to be his girlfriend.

Ella on the other hand was enjoying herself with the chocolates and ice cream, she watched her favorite television shows and when it was bed time she locks the door, put off all the the electronics and write in her diary a summary of what happened earlier that day.
