55 (SEASON 2)
"Famous business mogul Fredrick Majesty throws up after a ride in a rollercoaster" The headline read
"And they had the guts to add a laughing emoji to it but why the hell did Fredrick ride a rollercoaster?
He doesn't go on those because the first time he did, he became terribly ill and he was eight but since then, the doctor warned him never to go on such ride so why the hell did Gold let him go on those? I pray nothing happens to him" Ethan sad angrily.
GOLD POV
The ride home was a silent one and Gold had to drive because there was no way Fredrick was going to take them home in that condition.
"Maybe he's mad at me because he has every right to be. I can't believe I hurt him but I didn't mean too, I just wanted him to have some fun. I guess I'm going to learn how to control my mood swings. It's not really my fault you know, the doctor did say mine was going to be on the high side hence I'm carrying triplets" Gold thought but then she was interrupted by Fredrick's voice.
"Gold, I'm not mad at you and it's not your fault" Fredrick finally spoke.
"Trying to make me feel better right? of course it's my fault I shouldn't have asked you to ride those" Gold said unhappily
"Baby I said it's fine" Fredrick said but Gold nodded and continued driving until they got home.
When they walked into the house as expected she got scolded.
"Fredrick are you okay?" Ethan asked his brother as he examined him thoroughly
"I'm fine"
"No, you're not and Gold why the hell did you let my brother ride a rollercoaster?" Ethan asked her angrily
"I'm sorry" Gold muttered sincerely.
"Sorry? don't you know that Fredrick is allergic to rollercoasters? he tend to get sick whenever he rides them. What if something bad has happened to him?" Ethan asked and Ella stood beside him trying to pacify his anger.
"He's allergic to rollercoasters, how come I didn't know?" Gold thought Inwardly
"Ethan, I said it's fine" Fredrick said to his brother trying to calm him as well
"You're right Ethan, I caused this but how on earth was I supposed to know he's allergic to rollercoasters when he didn't tell me about it. I know you care about your brother but I do as well and I wouldn't want to see him hurt" Gold yelled in tears.
"Ethan you've said too much" Fredrick said as he pulled Gold to himself and enveloped her in a hug
"I'm sorry I should never have yelled at you. I just got scared, I'm sorry" Ethan apologized to Gold
"It's fine. I should be the one apologizing but Freddie, why didn't you tell me that you are allergic to rollercoasters?" Gold asked Fredrick tenderly
"If I told you would you have believed me?" Fredrick asked her as well
"Of course I would"
"You wouldn't have"
"I guess he's right because I would have thought he was lying and probably cried my eyes out. Gold thought inwardly
"Don't ever do that again please and don't ever risk your life to please me. Promise me" Gold said hugging him tightly.
"I wouldn't know what to do if I had lost him. I love him so much" Gold said inwardly
"I promise" Fredrick said hugging her immediately.
"Maybe we should seal this with a kiss" Fredrick suggested but Gold disengaged from the hug immediately.
"Maybe you should brush your teeth first remember you threw up"
"I washed my mouth remember" Fredrick said as he wrapped his hands around her waist then pulled her to himself"
"No, no no Freddie no" Gold said trying to free herself from his grip but then he kissed her instantly and shoved his tongue deep in her mouth.
"I'm gonna puke, I just tasted your vomit" Gold complained then Fredrick let go of her grinning
"How was it?" Fredrick asked.
"Horrible" Gold said and rushed out of the sitting room but then she heard them laugh.
"Fredrick is so mean" Gold muttered Inwardly.
FEDERICK POV
Frederick had freshened up and was resting on the bed with Gold sitting by his side and operating her phone, random thoughts had flooded his mind and while he was reminiscing on the days events, a secrete past flashed down his thoughts and he smiled looking at Gold who was unaware of what was going on in his mind..

THE TALES OF AMANDA
----------------------------------------
AMANDA POV
"DID YOU HEAR THAT?"
"Did you hear what?"
"That Amanda just got out of the psychiatric hospital."
"What! "Are you serious, so the rumors were true?"
"Yes, na, I heard the poor girl wasn't feeling well up there."
"Wait, isn't that Amanda over there?"
"Shhh, don't point at her, na, she's looking at us now."
"Why is she staring at us like that, Abeg? Let's just leave."
I fixed my gaze on the two girls as they hurried away. I despised this school. It was only full of rich, oblivious snobs who didn't know the difference between a rehabilitation center and a psychiatric hospital.
And yes, I'm apparently the Amanda they were openly gossiping about.
I walked down the corridor stiffly, and people kept pointing in my direction, whispering to themselves, well, I wouldn't exactly call what they were doing whispering because I could clearly hear them.
"Guy, look, Isn't that Amanda??" A random guy I didn't recognize tapped his nearby friend.
The whispers continued, "Yesso, it's her o."
"Ah, Amanda has returned."
It's not like I wasn't expecting this kind of reaction from people; after all, my wonderful parents were the ones who informed the entire school that I was in the hospital due to my mental instability. That's not even a lie; that's exactly how they put it.
You see, the school I attended was one of the most prestigious in Nigeria, located in the capital Abuja, and it was not your typical Nigerian school.
My high school was known as Qatass Academy. It was an extremely expensive school, which is why it was dubbed "the school for the elites," but I didn't agree with that label. It was more of a school for rich retards, because I can honestly say that 90% of the students who went here knew nothing.
"Hello, Fatty!" So you're really back," said a very girly voice, bringing me back to the present.
I could tell who it was by the annoyingly high tone of the voice.
"Silver," I murmured quietly.
"You still haven't learned to speak up, ehn?" Fatty" She teased with a bold smirk, and her two friends behind her, Damilola and Fatima, released low chuckles, clearly amused by their friend's mockery of me.
"My name is not Fatty," I grumbled.
"Ehn but you are fat na, so the name fits perfectly," she only laughed.
I'm not going to cry. I'm not going to cry. I'm not going to cry. Amanda, you promised yourself you wouldn't let it get to you any longer.
Students stood motionless, as if we were the best drama on television at the time. Amebos! Do they not have classes or something?
(Amebo is a Nigerian term for "gossipers" or "people who don't mind their own business.")
"Excuse me," I said, trying to get past her, tired of her mocking me.
"And where do you believe you're going?" "We haven't even finished our friendly chat," she said, pushing me back; I nearly lost my balance but quickly recovered.
I had had enough of her and spoke up.
"Silver, leave me alone!"
Her face was filled with astonishment. I'm sure she wasn't expecting it, and even I was taken by surprise by my audacity today.
"So a month in a mental hospital has given you a backbone, bah?"
"Too bad you're still fat and ugly," she smirked again.
Those words they spoke to me kept racing through my mind, bringing back painful memories I didn't want to remember again.
"Abeg abeg Silver, let's leave the girl alone before they accuse us of forcing her to commit suicide; you know she isn't exactly mentally stable." Fatima spoke up unexpectedly, a cruel smile on her face.
It was sickening how they always joked about suicide as if it were nothing. They shouldn't make light of something so serious.
As they finally left, I sighed and exhaled a sigh of relief. As their favorite show ended, nearby students began to leave as well. You can see why I disliked this school.
I adjusted my school bag on my back and continued on my way to my locker.
I felt eyes on me and looked up to find the source, which wasn't anyone I expected in a million years. I was surprised to see Frederick, the most popular boy at Qatass Academy, staring at me unblinkingly. Even when he realized I was watching him, he didn't bother to look away.
I quickly turned away from him. He looked at me as if he knew something about me that no one else did.
And I didn't like it at all.
