Episode 10

The meeting with his dad wasn't enough to ruin his mood unlike the call he made to the Jordans . He thought he would just call their daughter and make some arrangements concerning their date but the spoilt brat of a girl decided she was the one calling the shoots .

"I've picked a place Damien , I would email you the address. I just want you to look your best that very day ." Her voice alone made him cringe but what can he do , it's already decided.

"Okay Ms Jordan." He disconnected the call .

................

Meanwhile...

Same day , same time ...

"Dad ?"...

"Yes ?" The voice from the other end replied.

"Uhm ... O - okay . He received a call from his father but I don't know what it was for - "

"It's for the incoming goods . Continue."

"Ohh , okay . Uhm .. and again, he called the Jordans, I think it's concerning the date between his daughter and Damien. "

" Hmm .. "

" That's all dad . "

" I've told you to stop calling me that !, " there was a long pause from the other end as the caller waited patiently for him to continue.

" You always manage to rile me up , hmm .. "he breathed out ," alright. Make sure to keep an eye on him . Any little detail should be observed well . " Not waiting for the response of the other person , he cut the call .

" Okay sir ... " The figure slowly brought down the phone from his ear and sighed in exasperation .

"Hey David ," he turned sharply at the sound of his name .

"Ah Michael.. what's up." He said to the person running towards him .

"I was looking for you ."

"Ohh , I went to pick this call ." He showed him his phone .

"This night ?" Micheal questioned .

"Yeah , it's very important. I'm through, let's go ." They left the premises.

Deborah's POV

" Hmm .." I breathed out as I gaze at the dark clouds. The night was calm and it brought with it a sooting breeze . I love the cool night . Poking out my head from my room's window, I closed my eyes and smiled , already lost in my thought . My mind wandered back home and I wondered what my mum would be doing by now .

Feeling satisfied with the night cool refreshments , I gently closed my room window and went to bed unknown of the pairs of eyes that watched me from afar .

TV POV

"Some students are quite nosy or is she ignorant of the fact that it is dangerous to open ones window when it's past curfew ?" Elias snickered as he gingerly took a long suck from his cigarette while he watched in curiosity as Debby stuck out her head out of her window.

He was amused at her braveness or would he say her silliness at the fact that she was ignorant of what comes along with the dark.

"Isn't she the girl Daniel danced with?" Damien furrowed his brows as he also watched her silently.

"Ha ha ," Elias chuckled, swiveling the cigarette between his fingers ," Daniel is just playing with her . He wants something to get him over with Cassie . It's just for the meantime." He concluded .

The part of playing with her didn't sit well Damien as he gaze back at her in deep thought, by then she has finally closed her window which made him sigh in relief. Standing up , he dusted his pants and began to walk away .

The next morning...

Deborah's POV

The queue was unusually long this morning. I craned my head to get a view of the frontline , wondering in God's name what they were ordering.

"Isn't that the poor thing Daniel danced with?" Some whispered close by .

"She looks so plain to me .. " I knew whom the voice belongs to.

"She's just a new toy ."

Okay , I've heard enough !. Taking a deep breath ,I turn towards them .

"Did you have some ' Daniel danced with her ' issue? , or are you not fine this morning.?" I bite out , staring straight at them .

" Wowww, see who is talking ," that's Rebecca,the school bitch .

" Just because of that little game back then ,you are now feeling like you own the whole world . That's the problem with you poor things ,just a little attention and you will want the whole universe to notice you . "

Feeling a prick in my eyes ,I clench my jaw to keep it at bay . I refuse to let her words hurt me . Squaring my shoulders ,I arched a brow daring her to continue .

"You are just a toy which I'm sure would be tossed out once used ." She laughed,her clique joining in .

" At least I know I'm a new toy which will be thrown away ," I said quietly , inching closer to her ," but what about you ?, trying your very best to get approved and yet you keep getting disappointed . I'm not like you who chase around what isn't yours , at least, I didn't chase anyone ." With that I grabbed Priscilla's hand to leave but pause momentary when I lock eyes with the reason for the trouble as he stood among his friends.

"Let's go ." I told Priscilla. Not sparing anyone a glance ,we left the cafeteria. Breakfast that morning forgotten or probably skipped .
