publish date:
2020-09-28 21:16:14The door opened and Christina glanced at the wall clock. It was quarter past two in the morning. She rose and went to her staggering mother but was pushed to the ground.
'Don't you dare touch me!' Laura growled and her daughter did not know how she would forever apologize for the wrong that she barely committed or was aware of.
'I'm sorry Mother.' She rose, dusted herself, tried to hold her again and was shoved off. She pulled her hands back to herself. Rejection was something difficult especially from a loved one.
'Your food is on the table, that's if you can eat.'
'Child of the devil!'
'Mother of the child of the devil.' She logically added which silenced Laura since it implied that she was the devil.
'Christina Chidinma Chidi! You won't dare talk to me like that!'
She nodded in affirmation and left to get her mother's bathing water ready.
The morning bell had Deborah's heart in her hands, and her eyes on her cellphone. She had gone through all the school's social media accounts to check if any post revealed that she was a worker in a nightclub and saw none.
When she made it to Christina who shifted uncomfortably, hid her cellphone and avoided eye contact.'What's wrong Tina?'
'Nothing. What's wrong? Did I say anything's wrong?'
'Something certainly is. Kindly hand in your cellphone.' She calmly said, trying not to freak out.
'No.'
'Whatever,' She hissed and pulled out hers. It was then that she saw some recent posts which she skipped. There was something but not what she expected.
'The Princes' new princess. What?'
She tapped on the picture to see Helen in Kingsley's opened roofed sports car.
As Helen made it to the school, she noticed strange looks and whispers around her that she had to look at her reflection from a glass window to know if she was looking like a clown not that she was not used to the strange looks she got from her school mates but the day's was extra. Truth be told, she overslept so she would not be surprised if she was wearing the back of her cloth.
Back of my cloth?
Her eyes widened, she checked and sighed in relief.
Then what?
'Hey Debs, do you know---' Her friends walked past her, leaving her dumbfounded.
'Okay.'
It was break time and they did not make any effort to talk to her except Christina who gave her the pleading eyes. She tried walking up to them but was ignored.
'You know what? If this friendship is about snubbing each other for no reason then I rather not be part of it.' She hissed and stormed out.
'Wait!' Christina called.
'What?'
She handed her her cellphone which she reluctantly looked at, it occurred to her that she had not used hers since she woke up.
'The Princes' new princess. You've got to be kidding me.' She growled, it was even on the school's page.
She brought out her cellphone to see tons of messages, hate and envious messages. No wonder people stared at her like she incured the anger of the gods. She was first tagged in Miracles post.
Wonderful ride with this princess.
For most blind people which half were, it would be misinterpreted. What was bad in going out with them?

Amy @Des
- I thought Stephen has a thing for her?Timothy - This is gonna be a long year.
A freaking long year, she gritted not like the remaining comments were any good. She raised her head to see the supposed Princes of Kings Highschool walk towards their direction. It was Stephen first, she narrowed her eyes, noticing as he tipped his shade at Deborah who trembled and shifted aside.
Was something going on between them that she was not aware of?
He simply ignored her as usual since her outburst but Miracle flashed Christina a killer grin before winking at her to her annoyance and Kingsley blew her a kiss. She turned, eyes still following their backs. What were they up to? She noticed some mischief, deciding to keep it to herself, she walked off without saying a word to her friends.

Helen and Stephen stopped, seeing Deborah and Kingsley on the dance floor, in each others embrace. It was the most beautiful of sight, Helen could swear that it was the first time she had seen him at peace. 'Do you want to dance?' Stephen relunctantly asked. 'No. Not really.''I was hoping you'd say that.' He exhaled to her amusement. 'Why?''Because I can barely move my feet and I'd rather be doing other things.''Like?''What we were doing.''Stargazing?''That's pretty concized.''Then elaborate Mister.'

'Won't that be boring?' She took a seat and he did.

They wore the same cloth only that Deborah's was black and Helen's was red, coming off as the power three. Their dresses complimented their legs, tight enough to show some curves and vee necked to attract an eye or two. Helen study the environment in one quick glance. The hotel stood tall and elegant in the midst of other surrounding buildings. It was not shocking that her school mates could afford one of the most expensive hotels in Enugu. What was she thinking when they had three of the richest teens in the country as mates?'You look beautiful.'

Miracle stated, toying with her curls.'Then you can have my Jersey so the whole school would know that you're my fan.''Or your girl?''Either ways,' He smirked.'But I dunno if I'm your girl so I might just decline.''Of course you are.'Lies. Christina rolled her eyes and smiled.'That's not for you to decide.''Then who?''Me,' She shrugged and took the Jersey.'Just the Jersey.'She strode away as Helen and Deborah passed, Kingsley walked up to them, choosing to talk to Helen instead.'Hey, come watch us play today.''Coward,' Stephen mumbled under his breath before Deborah hissed and walked to him.'Hey Stephen, can I talk to you?'He shrugged and left his friends.

'Guess who got zero in biology test?' Hilda announced, carrying their test exercise books. She handed it to the prefect. 'Biology teacher said I should give it to you.' She shrugged and picked two as the students rushed for theirs. 'So as I was saying, our able Helen Eze got zero.' She scoffed and laughed, the class was silent before giggles erupted. Helen balled her fist and snatched her book. 'Thank you idiot!''Idiocy is failing twice. You don't know anything.''At least, I can solve mathematics with my eyes closed and still beat you. Everyone's good in their own way. Enjoy the limelight for now, that's if you got an A.''Oh spare me, who'd pick A plus and F over an A and B or two B plus? Sugar, you have to balance it but you can't since you're a loser and a fool.' Hilda snickered. 'A wise man once said,' Stephen began and the class went sil

Her eyes wandered to the building. The lights were turned off just as she left it. Thank God. Miracle rounded the hood and opened the door for her. She swung her bag on her shoulder and lingered. 'Thank you.''I should thank you. It was a pleasure having you around.'She strode to her gate, glanced back at him while he waited for her to go in, she rushed back, enveloped his lips in an intend quick kiss. She noticed the shock, a smile formed on her lips triumph. When she wanted to pull away, his hand cupped the back of her neck, fixing her at a point as he devour her lips; a taste he could not get enough of. They broke off in mutual need to breathe.'Good night.' She stepped back and walked in, leaving him perplexed at what he got himself into. It was all strange to him, he was always the one to take the lead and leave the other perplexed. However, he was
The Heartbreakers 15. Get A Kiss
Helen stood above the open roof as Miracle's car stopped beside theirs. 'I'd say it time and again, you strike a good pose.' Miracle grinned, pulling out his cellphone to record the moment. 'But I have me a girl here who'd strike better.' He winked at Christina who did the same thing with her friends. 'Kingsley would show you guys how winners do.' She puffed out her tongue. 'Yah, tell them baby girl.' He chuckled. 'No, I have me a winner here and we don't speak losers dictionary.' Deborah smirked. 'I look forward to seeing the disappointment in your faces.' Christina countered. 'Win this race and get a kiss from me.'That had a loud roar from them. 'I hope to.' Miracle replied with more light in his eyes. 'That's not playing fair.' Helen mumbled. 'Oh I'll show you mine now.' D
