High school reunion

Sam brought arella to where the reunion was held.They wore casual clothing's,sam wore a two piece wear while arella wore a body con red gown. Her black hair poured to the back and she tucked her hair behind her left side ear. The reunion was in a restaurant that belongs to a former classmate mother.

They got out from the car to enter the restaurant.

They were about twenty six people in the restaurant and they sat down in groups in different tables.

"What?,I mean is that who I think it is" ,jenna said looking at arella and sam as they entered the restaurant.

As soon as they entered the restaurant,josh welcomed them.

"Sam!oh man!, longtime" ,josh came forward as he stretched his hand for a handshake.

He looked at arella,"wow Arella,you look dazzling" .

She blushed,"thanks Josh,you look..em..big,Look at that tummy",she said and chuckled.

Josh laughed,"it shows am being fed well".He paused and looked at her,"your skinny that you might disappear soon arella".

"What !?",she laughed slightly.

Josh and sam laughed.

Don't worry arella,you're going to add weight today,it's my mum restaurant,I'll give you the biggest servings.

She puts her hand on her mouth and chuckled,"is okay josh I plan on eating little" .

Josh turned to sam,let's meet other guys sam.

"Oh okay",he left with josh.

Arella POV

I looked around the restaurant searching for my highschools best friend,tasha.But I saw jenna and other girls, some I tried hard to recognize.There was a free sit next to her.

I still remembered her bad attitude,Kill me.

Oh maybe she's changed

They were chatters everywhere,people talking about their job,family,oh the single ones talking about future partners and the lazy ones.It wasn't everyone that is here. And I also see new faces,maybe some transfers that came when I left.

As you know I didn't graduate with them.At that time,I stopped school so I could focus on myself and my unborn child. But after what happened,I didn't go back to where I schooled,I change to another.

I had no choice but to walk to jenna's table,at least the girls that sat around her aren't my foes.

I sat down at the table and exchange pleasantries with them. And I only said hi to jenna.

The look on her face was already disturbing. I decide to start eating with the others and we talked about work and current situations.I was enjoying it,at the same time uncomfortable,because I could feel jenna glaring at me.

Wait no,this time I could feel her looking at me from up to down,gosh am so uncomfortable.

Arella felt uncomfortable and stopped eating.She cleared her

throat,"Jenna" ,she called.

"Is there any problem jenna,you've been glaring at me for a long time".

Jenna scoffs and looked at her with her dark eyes,"you're cursed" .

Arella looked dumbfounded for a while and found her words,"excuse me?" .

"Yes!you heard me!" ,she yelled, trying to get everyone attention.

"Jenna!" ,josh yelled from his table.

The chatters in the restaurant was replaced with silence.

"HEY MR JOSH WILLIAMS,mind your business" ,she said in an arrogant tone.

Arella scoffs,"I see even after 16 years,your attitude is still the same".

Jenna scoffs,"my attitude?".

"Jenna shut up and stop your nonsense" , another person yelled.

She glared at the person that spoke,"This bastard who are you to tell me what to do,I! Am a full grown woman".

"Yeah ,full grown woman that clearly don't have boundaries when talking,and doesn't respect herself",josh said.

"Oh you! josh!,you don't know how I feel, Her mother,sister,lover and child died",what if the bad luck pass to me" .

"Enough!" ,sam commanded.

"Don't you tell me what to do sam!.I don't want to contact this curse,it's contagious. You know pals,I have a loving husband and two beautiful girls,3 and 4, respectively. And I don't want anyone to die,I insist arella leave this place!".

Josh drank from the beer bottle and glared at jenna,"the only one leaving this place should be you,Jenna,leave this place. Every reunion you do one thing or the other,if you're not bragging about your husband it will be another.Dont you feel shame?!".

She laughed like a mad woman,"josh ,you probably don't know how I feel,because your wife is ugly and bar_"

"How dare you!",josh cuts in and scowled.

"Jenna you should be ashamed of yourself,LEAVE!",another voice said.

"Seriously this piece of trash" ,bell mumbled under her breath."Bitch !" ,she yelled as she stood up and walked slowly to jenna,"you know I didn't want to say anything,I just wanted to let you humiliate yourself,but sweetheart your taking it to far".Then she turned and face the crowd" ,the only disease everyone sees here is you, JENNA".

She turned back to jenna, "EVERYBODY KNOWS,that your loving husband fucks other ladies and girls. And you know the best part jenna,He loves those young ones like 18,19,20 and the funny part,is that,he doesn't keep his business CLEAN".

She looked at jenna. Jenna looked stunned.

Bell scoffed,"are you surprised of what I said about your dear loving husband or you're surprised that I know about it".She smirked , folds her hand and stepped back a little and stared at her,"you can't be surprised by what I said rather is because that I know about it".

"You ...you..dont know what you're saying",jenna stammered.

"I actually caught your husband in the act,not once not twice,oh gosh, what a loving husband,I feel jealous.

Or should I tell you where i saw him,so you will know it's not a rumour".

As she was about to talk,jenna immediately carried her bag and left the restaurant.

"So much for a loving husband" ,a voice said and people laughed.

Arella was just silent all through the arguments. She wanted to eat but she couldn't,she lost her appetite.

She looked wan and sullen.

Bell looked at arella,"cheer up girl,at least I have put jenna in her place".

She stood up and grabed her purse,"am sorry for what happened this night" .

She left the table and was heading out but sam held her hand,"There's nothing to apologize for arella'.

She sighed and peeked over her shoulders at sam who was holding her hand,'There is,if I didn't show up,this scene couldn't have happened".

She turned and looked at sam,"sam ,do you know why I didn't argue with her,it's because I once told myself that am a curse,she was right about what she said,so I couldn't counter".

He pulled arella to embrace her and whispered,"you are not a curse miss George" .

Her eyes became teary as she releases herself from his embrace. She turned to leave again as sam held her hand again.

It felt like if she say something,tears will flow.

She slowly released her hand from sam's,"am okay" ,she managed to say.

'Where are you going",sam asked.

"Somewhere else",she said in a low voice.

"Let's go toge_"

"No sam,I just want to be alone,I don't want to be the one holding you back,you haven't seen others in awhile".

"I can always see them another time arella".

She heaved a sigh,"fine you can see them another time but please don't follow me I want to be alone".

Then she left.

Sam stared at her as she left,he could feel and he knows she's not okay. He sighed and brushed his hair back with his hand.
