Chapter 4

Jessica POV

Laura was cheering me while I swam with my teammates. I came out and wiped myself with my towel.

"Jessica you really are good now keep it up" The coach complimented and pat my shoulders before heading to the others

By the time I finished drying myself I see a couple of girls at a corner screaming loud one even passed out.

good God of Zacheous

I turn my head to see what they want to commit suicide for only to give out a very big ear scratching hiss.

Raymond was swimming shirtless and was winning.

Some people are just very stupid the dude you wanna die for doesn't even know you exist. I though inwardly.

"Wish Jessy that was one cool swim you were like a fish" I couldn't help but laugh at the ridiculous way she was trying to imitate how I swim breathing in a very funny way.

What can I say that has always been Laura masking her sadness and troubles behind her smile and Laughter.

"Yo! Jessy". Laura stopped her mini act and looked in the direction of the voice lo and behold it was Sam I felt heat rush to my cheeks as I see what he is wearing which is absolutely nothing from his head to his waist. A pair of swimming short is on his waist and his hair is a very big mess.

Unlike every other Nigerian school students both male and female get to choose their hair do .

He came closer and gave me a side hug same for Laura who is wriggling her brows and trying hard not to burst with laughter I need know one to tell me its because of my facial expression. We discussed for a while before he left to get changed and Laura left to go check on Cherry.

I changed and joined the rest of the gang and left for the cafeteria.There we saw Jason bullying another boy who was crying hard with mucus all over his face I glanced at Laura who is balling up her hand in a tight fist I quickly helped it and looked deeply in them.

"Please Laurie not now" her hand released a little but not totally.

Jason pov

After playing basketball for a while a student came up to me shaking like he is eating naked wire that is shocking him and is going to wee on himself very soon.

"Senior Jason" he almost whispered

note almost.

"Yes...."

"The principal said I should call you"

"Why"

He quickly raised up his hand

" I swear I don't know he just said I should call you "

"OK " he quickly scrambled away in fright.

I finished dressing and went straight to the principal office. I knocked and enter without waiting for reply.

"why do you wanna see me" I asked going straight to the point.

"I heard what you did to that Laura girl" why is he telling me this.

"Okay..." I asked making it known that

am already bored.

" I don't know what she has done but can you please forgive her"

"Why are you telling me this."

"Because I want you to forgive her"

"Why?"

"She is a fragile girl and if anything happens to her her grandma can run mad please let her off the hook this once."

I sighed

"Okay just this once next time I won't be merciful" I stand up to leave.

"Thank you "heard the principal say but chose to ignore him.

On my way to the cafeteria a girl bumped into me.

What the actual heck is this.

Laura pov

At the cafeteria I see Jason bullying a gir now. I balled my hand into a fist as the girl was weeping hard and bring out mucus. Ready to charge towards them I felt something warm on my hand I looked at it, it is jessy.

"Please Laurie not now." I released my balled fist but not totally.

A teacher who I guess is new confronted him and he made her pee on her pant I don't know how but he did she pulled the pee soaked panties and stuffed it in her mouth. As if noticing my glares he looked at me and smirked with this look of "I win this time" I really wish looks can kill so that this devil will be facing God.

After break we all went to class and continued with the school activities.

I stayed back to do some of my homework since Jessy isn't going home straight they are to visit one of her aunts who just gave birth also knowing my family I may not have time to finish it all.

"Look who we have here its the

puppy " I looked up to see the owner of the voice behold it is the devil himself. Not interested in anything he has to say I continued with my work.

"I was expecting you to pass your line but judging with the way you looked at me I guess you finally left to know your place"

"Know your place" I so much detest that statement But kept my cool and continued with my work in order to finish early and avoid my step mom palaver.

"Are you always this egostic"

Egostic really for his mind now he don blow grammar wetin person no go see for this life mtcheww.

Divide both side by forty five and the answer is twelve.

Done.

Now I have his time.

"Can't you talk?"

Obviously I'm pressing the right button.

"To begin with egoistic really?. Looking at how you go around bullying, person will think you have sense but considering what you just

said I can see you haven't any

EVEN THE COMMON ONE"

I looked deep in his eyes his face is very red with anger.

"HOW DARE YOU"

"HOW DARE I NOT" I replied with the same tone.

"Further more I decided to keep my cool cause I figured you ain't worth the time you are very worthless"

OK maybe that's too harsh I don't care cause he does worst than that to people.

" lastly I figured with the way you bully people it looks like you are desperate for attention."

"What???? Attention"

" yeah attention .who even knows if you are very weak and you are trying to cover it up by bullying people."

"You really have some nerve girl" I smirked at his reply.

"Do you know who I am?"

" of course... . you are one desperate rich and spiolt brat. My turn... do you know who I am?"

He is looking dumbfounded at my reply.

" I'll take that as a no. Well for your information unlike every other girl in this school including you I'm a street girl who grew up in the village and I don't give a shit who you and your family are." He stood there speechless not believing I said all that I made my way out making sure to brush my shoulder with his.

"Ahh..." I turned back likewise did he .

"In case you don't know Warri no dey carry last I'm gonna make you pay for what you did earlier." I left and trekked home.

***

"Goodaftern...." A slipper was throw in my face. What again like this naa.

"Where are you coming from?"

My step mom fired.

Damn you Jason another palaver for me.

" uhhnmm..... School" it came more like a question.

"At this time"

"u hmm .. Yeah"

"Who do you think you are lying to"

"ma am not lying ooo".

PAAWWW.

Palm to cheek

"Don't you dare talk when I talk. So because you are now in the same school with my daughters you have the effrontery to slap her?"

Slap keep

"Ma!!! I didn't slap..."

"I say don't talk when I am talking you bastard. Now kneel and apologize to her."

"Maa!!.."

PAAWWW

"Know your place"

I detest that statement.

I looked at Brietta who has a devilish smirk on her face.

As tears threatened to fall I knelt and do as I was commanded.

"I'm ... Sorry."

"Good make food" my step mom ordered and left to God knows where and Ann ik a who was acting like she isn't aware of what is happening around her also left leaving me and the witch.

"This is the tip of the iceberg if you keep on making Jason notice you."

Can someone please tell her am not interested in her boyfriend.

I headed to my room and cried freely.

"Know your place

Bastard" those words replayed in my head.

I never wanted to be one not even once I just wish I could go back to the village and stay with my grandparents

where I was loved and wanted.

I heard the shouts of my step mom I quickly scrambled up and prepared dinner.

That night I went to bed on empty stomach.

****

We were nearing our midterms right now all the gang is in the library reading and incase you are thinking about Jason he hasn't done anything since our encounter in class well except for some threat letters he keeps on sending to me.

The biology notes he ruined took me two nights to complete.

"Have you chosen a sport Laura" Cherry's voice woke me from my train of thought

" no not yet"

"You need to do that soon the inter house spots are near"

"Okay"

We read some more before we left for class.

Miss Florence is already in class when we arrived.

" I have decided on your project partners so listen properly.

Kunle and Daniel, Alex and Rotimi, Jessica and Samuel, Cherry and Aaron, Asher and Elizabeth.... She kept on mentioning names till I heard something that almost made me see Jesus almost.

"U hmm Ma'am can you come again I didn't get that"

Half of the class burst into laughter.

"I said Laura and Jason"

God I swear I will not lie again just help me this once.

"Laura.. Do you have a problem with that."

I was about to reply when that thing replied.

"No ma'am we are the with it.. Right puppy" he looked at me.

"Don't call me that"

You won't believe that the dude just smirked.

" OK that's clear " Miss Florence said and continued mentioning the names.

I was too angry to talk I looked at the devil and he is still smirking while Brietta is giving me death glares.

After miss Florence left I have free period and I decided to read but someone got other plans as I felt something hitting my leg under the table. I looked at it. It was a leg his leg.

I kicked it hard the class is very rowdy since not everybody offers economics.

"Come on puppy my leg needs space and here is small." I just snobbed him and continued with my novel. I heard him leave his sit and sat in the one beside me.

"What's the plan for our project"

"No reply"

"My house or yours"

"What are you talking about"

"The project...." He trailed obviously getting annoyed with me.

"OK..." God I'm so enjoying tormenting him. he was getting one that consented to it when we had the opportunity to reject it s he should manage it.

"My house or yours" he repeated in a duh tone

"Why on earth will I go to your house"

"For the damn project puppy"

"First its Laura for you and two I'm not foolish enough to believe in that shit you are saying how do I even know its not one of your tricks."

"Whatever makes you sleep at night" He sighed and walked away.

Mission accomplished frustrating Jason.

🌹🌹🌹🌻🌻

We had just finished school for the day when the people in my village decided it was time to start pouring hot water in my calabash.

The jerk himself cane and block my way as I was about to leave the door.

I rolled my eyes at his childishness.

"Yes???, how may I help you."

"My house or yours?" he asked again.

"For what?"

"The project ofcourse whatelse."

I made my way to leave.

"If you leave now trust me I will not do a dime in that project and believe me when I say only your score will be affected."

I stopped in my tracks on hearing that statement. In a way he is right after all he is Jason Winchester.

But on a second thought if we go to my house my step mom will make me see hell and Brietta will add acid to the fire.

I turned round and went straight to him.

"Your house.." A lot of gasps could be heard in the walkway.

Na so people dey jobless.

"On one condition"

He came forward obviously trying to oppress me with his height.

Who height help

"What?" I smirked and nuged him to come forward so I can whisper it in his ear.

"I need my family to know of my whereabouts."

I stood straight "

I'll take care of that" went straight to Brietta who is amongst the crowd throwing arrows my way with her eyes.

Wetin do this wan

He took her hand and dragged her to the class and I followed suit.

The crowd wanted to enter but the eyes that Jason gave them went them away.

"Hey Etta" Jason started

Etta really??

"Hey!!" She replied with on seductive voice like that and it sounded like expired pap as she tucked some strands of her braids and smiled sweetly.

What a flirt

"I like your earrings"

Who knew that the big bully can be a very professional flirt and Mama dey blush.

"Thanks " she blushed harder.

Chai wahala.

"Can you do me a favor?"

"Yeah sure".

He cleared his voice and suddenly wear a serious face.

Wetin musa no go see for gate.

"You must know that puppy is my project partner"

"Don't call me that"I fired and the dude just ignored me.

"So just help me inform your parents that puppy here.." He grabbed my shoulders and I told immediately shrugged it off.

"...Is with me" he finished.

The mama is already red with anger.

He grabbed my hand and dragged me out.

"Hey let me go" forcefully taking my hands off his.

"What again puppy".

"I said don't call me that"

"Yeah.. yeah what you are getting me angry already."

"I need to let my friends know I'm going with you".

"Okay hurry and meet me at the school garden". And he left

What a dimwit

"Yeah a hot one" my subconscious said.

Not now sub

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

"Really its suspicious he never does project with anyone not even his friends." Cherry said when I informed them about the project shit.

"Hey Laurie if he tries any shit I'm a phone call away"Jessy said.

"OK" was my only reply.

"Stay safe" Cherry yelled as they drove off.

I started heading to the school garden before realizing I don't know where it was.

Damn you Winchester.

Since I don't know where I am let me just soar the school.

I've been soaring as planned until someone dragged me inside the class.

I let out a very loud scream almost immediately.

JASON POV

Laura is very fun to annoy and cute too. The time she dragged my hair I felt all tingly I didn't want her to stop.

"Hey get your head in the game you are supposed to hate her.

"Yeah yeah". I mumbled to myself.

I had planned the project partnering and also had to a little flirting with Brietta.

I've been waiting for a couple of minutes now and she's yet to be here.

Isn't it to only inform friends and come back the garden.

Girls.

I decided to go look for her only to see her walking aimlessly.

I quickly hid in a class and when she came I dragged her in.

She let out a very loud scream and I covered her mouth.

"Hey its me"

"Are you insane?? What the hell is wrong with you" She yelled in frustration.

"Getting delayed and you are here walking aimlessly"

"I went to see my friends off...."

"and started modeling"

"I got lost you fool"

"And your prince charming found you" I replied smirking

"What the hell dude get your head in the game" my subconscious scolded.

"I'm still gonna make you pay as I promised" she pushed me away carried her bag and went to the parking lot.

I headed straight to my BMW not without the awestr look she had on .

"Puppy what are you doing. Get in" she did Without arguing.

"Very cute" I thought inwardly.

"Come on" my subconscious yelled.

"Yeah yeah" sorry sub.

"Cool car" she complimented

"I know"

"Asshole" she mumbled and I smiled I'm so gonna love this project.
