“Bye sweetie, do take care of yourself.” Bonnie said, kissing her both sides of her cheeks.
“You too girlfriend.” Renëe smiled.
“Bye my love.” Jasmine said as she pulled into a hug.
“Do have fun with… You know who I’m talking about.” Jasmine winked at her and she slapped her playfully.
“Stop it.” They laughed.
“You sure you don’t wanna go home.” Bonne asked and she shook her head.
“Nah.” Renëe muttered sadly and smiled before hugging her again.
“Take care of yourself, bye.” Bonnie said.
After escorting them out of the school, Renëe went back to her hostel.
She sighed sadly as she walked back, she was now left alone. Tho her roommates who were Isla and Mira weren’t going on holiday but she didn’t get quite along with them.
She stared at her phone, wondering who she should call. Maybe she should just call her mom, even though they don’t remember her.
She thought before dialling her number but her mom didn’t pick. She sighed, what was she expecting. Her parents are a very busy persons, they never entertain distraction. They only listen to what you have to say if it’s about money.
Just then her phone rang, her face beamed when she saw it was her mom calling. She quickly picked up the call but she regretted doing so almost immediately.
“How much do you need this time??” Her mom’s husk voice came through the phone.
“Mom.” She muttered.
“Don’t waste my time Renëe! I have got other things much more than important than talking to you, so rather than wasting my time, just tell me how much money you need and let’s get this done with.” She sighed as tears escaped her.
She ended the call immediately. Her mom called again but she didn’t pick up. Her phone beeped and she checked it, to see that her mom has transferred $5,000 into her account.
Money! Money!! Money!!! That’s what they’ve always given her. No parental love, neither any mental peace of mind. Growing up, she has been taken care of, by her nanny. Her parents have always cared for their business and not her that whenever she comes, they take it that she needs money and give that to her.
She has yearned her motherly love, for a fatherly love but she never got any. Her parents weren’t the type anyone would wish for their self.
You’ve always wondered why she h@tëd love, well it’s because of her parents.
According to her grandparents, her parents were once highschool lovers, one thing led to another, her mom got pregnant with her and they were forced to get married.
That was were the hatred between her mom and dad started, to them, she was a mistake that should never have happened and they have both h@tëd her.
No they passed, without them quarrelling each other and that made her stopped with them, she attending a boarding and whenever she wanted to go home, she prefers visiting her grandparents.
She hoped that all this stops one day but it was too hard to think that it will surely end.
“How’s my sëxy girlfriend doing?? I thought you left for holidays.” Jaxon voice came from no where.
She didn’t answer him but instead continue to walk to wherever her legs took her.
“Hey are you alright?? You don’t look bright.” He said worriedly and she sniffed.
“Have you been crying??” He asked.
“I want to be left alone.” She said before running away.
She fell on the floor and started crying her heart out, immediately she got to the garden. She has been holding the pains in, for long now.
She has always acted strong, she has always acted fine and happy but she never was.
“Why?! Why?!!! Why???!!!” She cried, luckily for her, no one was around the vicinity.
“Was it my fault that I was born?!” She asked rhetorically, as he tears fall freely from her eyes. She tried to clean it with her palm but someone held her hand.
“Don’t try to clean it. It always good to cry, crying helps relieve the pains, so cry to your heart content.” She burst into fresh tears immediately he said that.
He just sat beside her on the ground and watched her cried. He never knew this side of hers. He has always thought her to be a strong fierce, badass girl with a lotta negative vibes. He guess that, a horrible past is part of humans existence.
“They h@të me so much!! So fxcking much!! Wh…why…” She hiccupped and she felt Jaxon placed his hand on her shoulder.
“It’s okay. Everything will be fine, it’s just a matter of time.” He assured smiling at her.
She pulled him into a hug, surprising him. “Please, let me stay like this for a while.” He heard her say, he smiled before hugging her back.

Vlad sat alone in his room, he had his laptop placed on his lap as he sat on the bed. He was writing something on his laptop buy when his phone rang.
He looked at the caller, Sophie. He sighed before picking up the call.
“Don’t tell me you ain’t coming home this weekend as well.” Her blaring voice came in.
“What does it look like??” He rolled his eyes tiredly.
“Vlad!! It’s been months you left and you haven’t visited, c’mon.” She grumbled.
“You can always come to visit if you want, I ain’t coming.” He said grumpily that she had to roll her eyes.
“Dad won’t let me.” She muttered.
“You see, the old man strictness is something I can’t handle.”
They were still talking when he heard a knock on the door. Before he could reply, the person came in.
“We’ll talk later, Sophie.” He said before hanging up the call.
“What are you doing here??” He queried huskily, glaring at her.
“I came to see you of course.” Isla rolled her eyes, walking to him.
“Outta my room.” He said, taking his gaze back to his laptop.
“Sorry baby boo, but I can’t do that.” She smiled, sitting beside him. She wrapped her hands around his neck and Vlad scoffed before throwing her hands off him, staring disgustingly at her.
“I said get out of my room!!!” He yelled, getting up from the bed.
“Vlad what’s with you?? Why this indifferent attitude?? I agreed I left but I’m back now and you should be happy that I came back for you or do think staying away from you was easy??” She queried and he rolled his eyes.
“I didn’t ask you to come back, so please go back. You’re are my past and my past you remain.” He said sternly.
“Since you won’t leave my room, I’ll leave it for you.” Grabbing his phone on the bed, he left the room, slamming the door harshly behind him.
“Darn it!!” She yelled furiously as she gnashed her teeth in anger.

Mira smiled when she saw him coming through the hallway. She smiled evilly as she brought out the syringe, she smirked mischievously staring at it.
She looked at Vlad, who was walking on the hallway, pressing his phone. She smiled before walking towards him.
She intentionally bumped into him and injected the syringe in his hands. Vlad furrowed his brow when he felt the sharp pain.
He stared at her weirdly. “I’m so sorry VD, pardon my clumsiness.” She feigned a sorry look.
“What did you pierce me with??” He asked instead, frowning.
“Pierce?? I didn’t, maybe my fingers.” She showed him her longer painted nails.
He scoffed before walking away. Mira smirked as she watched his retreating figure.
