Monique suddenly faced Francisco when she’s not feeling any contact from him again.
His eyes are looking at somewhere else.
She traced it and when she saw it’s November, she stopped dancing.
“Cisco” she called but instead of looking at her, he left her.
November suddenly left Newton too.
“Where are you going?” He asked, holding her back.
“I just saw something I need to punch” she replied and left.
Newton followed curiously.
November scoffed when she got to the fighting spot where Binta and Wendy were trying to strip helpless Ixora.
She pulled them both away from her .
“Role model” Ixora breathed heavily, her hair scattered on her face.
“Are you ok?” November asked, looking at her gown.
It’s rough now as a result of the struggling.
“Yes” she nodded.
Binta quickly hid behind Wendy.
“Come out right now” November said.
“What do you need her to come out for when you’re just a prostitute who’s trying to seduce my brother!, You were all over him at the dance floor earlier” Wendy said thoughtlessly.
“Prostitute?” November said.
“Yes prosti…
November slapped her twice on the same cheek and she fell on the ground.
Binta came to view, shaking fearfully.
“You’re the rat who lied to lure me to Ricardo the other time, still remember?” November glared.
“I’m so sorry” Binta replied.
November grabbed a cup of alcohol from the nearest table and poured it on her face.
“I’m sorry!!!” She cried.
She made to give her a hit on the head when Ricardo held her hand.
“It’s ok” he said but she grimaced and took her hand from him.
“I’m not surprised, she’s your subordinate anyways, freak!” She said and rolled eyes at him before trying to walk away.
Newton grabbed her hand this time but she broke free immediately, remembering when Wendy called her a prostitute just because she danced with him.
“Touch me again and I’ll punch you” she said seriously and left the house.
Newton followed but when he got out, Francisco was already following her so he stopped by the door and watched as Cisco caught up with her.
“Is Pickle angry?” Francisco asked and November quickly faced him.
“You….you should still be dancing with Monique” she said.
“I’ve danced the little I could” he replied and she smiled.
“I hope Keaton gets healed miraculously, I really want you both to be together” she said and he stopped to face her.
“You look extraordinarily gorgeous tonight” he said and she smiled again.
“Thanks”
“Are you going back to your mansion now?” He asked.
“Yes, you?” She asked.
“I’m still gonna wait for the guys” he replied a little before they’ll get to Dahlia’s car.
“Then we’ll meet in school tomorrow” she said.
“I guess” he replied and before he knew it, he hugged her.
“Bye” he said when he broke it.
“Bye redhead” she replied and he smiled before walking to the car.
November entered the car too and met Dahlia already.
“Monique is not here yet?”
“No” Dahlia replied and Monique entered the car immediately, crying slightly.
“Why the tears?” Dahlia asked
“Babe..” November said.
“Cisco isn’t interested a bit in me, he was staring at somewhere else throughout”
“Somewhere else?” Dahlia asked.
“Look I don’t wanna talk about it just let’s get out of here” Monique rubbed her eyes and November hugged her as Dahlia drove the car.

THE EMPERORS SUITES≈ RICARDO’S ROOM~ 30 MINUTES LATER
Ricardo finished smoking the third stick of cigarette then he lightened the fourth and started smoking too.
He drank tequila as he smoked like a devil.
When he comes back from Groovers Spot like this, he should be busy f*cking a girl right now but the mood is off tonight.
Now he regrets sending Binta to lure November out of class the other time, he regrets pouring water on the ground for her which made her fall.
He regrets almost hitting her without saying sorry, he just started regretting everything like for real.
He finished the fourth stick and went for the fifth.
He was still on the fifth when he remembered how Wendy called her a prostitute because of how she danced with Newton.
He left the room and met Newton climbing the stairs, he blocked him.
“Why did you even dance with her in the first place” he said.
“What do you mean?”
“Your sis was behaving like a Bîtch back there!, How dare she call November a prostitute when we all know she’s not like that!” Ricardo shouted.
“Are you saying it’s my fault that she called her a prostitute?”
“Then whose fault?, If only you hadn’t danced with her, you held her hips and was touching her anyhow” Ricardo replied.
“Oh f*ck, Ricardo buzz off please” Newton said and Ricardo pushed his chest.
“Go apologize to her for what Wendy said” he said.
“You won’t be the one to tell me before I do that so stop behaving like a kid!” Newton replied.
“Aren’t you guys gonna stop?” Kennedy said, climbing the stairs.
“It’s childish of you Ricardo” he continued
“KK I really h@të when you intervene in anything concerning me and you know” Ricardo said.
“You’re really being childish, She’s not the only girl in this college so why are you like this!” Kennedy said again.
Newton went back into his room
“I’m not in the mood to throw punches at you tonight” Ricardo said to Kennedy and left for his room too.
“As if you can throw punches, a kindergarten kid can do better” Kennedy said and went back downstairs where Francisco is sitting.
“Let’s go play games till midnight” he said
“I’m in” Francisco replied and left with him.

NEXT DAY≈ NEWTON COLLEGE~ MEDICAL LAB
Practical ended some minutes ago, it’s their last class for today so everyone left the lab exhausted except November who still has to clean.
Newton stayed with her to supervise but she didn’t spare him even a glance.
She cleaned without acknowledging his presence.
Newton leaned on the wall, watching her clean attentively.
“November” he called but she didn’t reply.
“November”
No reply again.
She went to her and snatched the napkin from her.
He threw it on the workbench and she faced him.
“What?” She said calmly.
“Are you mad at me because of what Wendy said last night?, I’m sorry, I’m deeply sorry so just stop this silent treatment already… please” he begged.
“I’m not angry at you, I’m just angry at myself for dancing with you” she replied.
“Then what should I do?, Are you gonna keep ignoring me?” He said.
“I need to clean” she said, taking the napkin again.
She returned to cleaning and he kept standing.
He was like that for a minute before grabbing her shoulders.
She turned her to himself and bent her over the workbench, his face just on top of hers.
“I’ll wound you badly” she glared.
“I’ll kiss you madly” he replied.
“What!”
“Wait for it” he replied and started coming for her irresistible lips.
Ricardo came in.
