< SCHOOL HALL >
“Until when will you have that face mask on?” Judy asked Chloe who sat beside her amongst other students who were patiently waiting for their team instructor to arrive.
“I think I have a cold” Chloe muttered while she stared around looking for Bryan.
She only wanted to stay away from him, infact she was willing to switch class just to make that possible but life has to throw them in the same team.
This is when people tend to use the phrase ‘life is unfair’.
Just then the girls began to scream at the arrival of Bryan, David, Luke and Lucas.
“They are freaking hot!” Pearl said as her gaze was solely on David.
“It’s not like they are demi gods or some thing” Judy muttered while Chloe move close to Judy wanting to hide her self and it worked.
It worked during the time the teacher addressed them but he just had to pin point her out making her the centre of attraction.
“You will be participating in the marathon right?” The teacher asked.
“I don’t think so” Chloe replied while every one let out a groan.
“Participating in the marathon will give us a high score!” A students complained making the rest do the same.
Chloe gaze went to Bryan who was watching her in return and that stopped her from giving a reply.
“Let’s give her some breathing space, it’s not all the time that she gets to run the marathon for us” Judy said In her stead.
“It’s okay everyone, since Valerie can’t do it we will just have to find some one else but what I want to tell you is that Bryan here will be in charge of the training and all. So if you’ve got a problem or anything to say, feel free to go to Bryan and your message will get to me” the teacher said and it was the girls who let out a loud yes.
“I leave you to handle the rest” The teacher said to Bryan and his friends.
As soon as Chloe saw the teacher leaving, she quickly went with him using the rest room as an excuse.

< VALERIE’S HOME >
“What! She travelled and didn’t leave with her phone?” Chloe asked the maid who was telling her about the whereabout of Carmen.
“Yes. Each time she goes to the temple, she stays there for about two weeks and doesn’t take her phone along” the maid replied.
“And there’s no other way to contact her?” Chloe asked.
“There’s no way” the maid replied making her feel more depressed.
Chloe left the kitchen heading back to her room where she went straight to her bed and lay on it.
“What am I going to do?” She murmured.
She had been hoping to tell Carmen about her problem but with Carmen gone, she doesn’t know what to do.
Suddenly getting an idea, she picked up her phone and googled some thing on line.
★ IF YOUR FIANCE BROTHER KNOWS OF A SECRET YOU WANT HIDDEN, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO★ Chloe type out while waiting for answers.
★ THEN YOU HAVE TO FIND A WAY TO SHUT HIM UP ★
★ BRIBE HIM WITH SOME THING IN EXCHANGE FOR HIS SILENCE ★
★ JUST SEDUCE HIM, IT WILL KEEP HIM SHUT ★
“Are this people crazy?” Chloe muttered even as she put her phone away to lay comfortably on her bed once again.
Another message pop into her phone and reluctantly, she picked it up and read its content.
★ TRY TO MAKE HIM UNDERSTAND AND IF HE DOESN’T LISTEN, MAKE A DEAL WITH HIM ★ on reading this she sat up on her bed smiling to herself.
This is just what she needs, she thought already thinking of what deal to strike with him.

< M&M ACADEMY ~ ROOF TOP >
Chloe got to the roof top where she’s meant to meet Bryan and just like she expect he was waiting for her.
“I thought you were going to stand me up” he said
“Why would I do that when am the one who suggested for us to meet” she replied.
“So you aren’t ignoring me again?” He asked while she nodded.
“You are right, am not not the real Valerie. Am an imposter who is living her life but then I have my reason, a reason which I can’t tell you ” she said remembering the promise she made to Carmen not to say a thing to any one.
“Why can’t you tell me?” Bryan asked folding his arms while he waits for her answer.
“Cause it’s not for me to tell, it’s not up to me to tell you about it but it’s for a good cause. So if you would pretend not to know a thing and……”
“So what you are saying is that I help you hide your secret when you aren’t willing to tell me the reason for all this false?” He asked and she nodded quickly.
“It’s a no and I suggest you tell Valerie’s mom yourself or I will be doing it” Bryan said as he turned to leave but she took hold of his hand.
“Please! You need to keep this a secret” she said looking desperate.
“Must I? For you?” Bryan asked even as he pulled his hand out of hers.
“Not for me but for Valerie, the real Valerie” Chloe pleaded.
“I can’t do that and so I suggest you go and tell the truth before I do it myself” he said turning to leave again and quickly she went to obstruct his path.
“What if I…..what if I join the marathon? If I end up winning will that change your mind ?” She suggested……
To be continued ✌️✌️✌️
