✰ THE POTION ✰
“Thalia I…”
“Am here, Romeo” someone called out cheerfully and they both turned to see Cherry.
*****
“Hope I didn’t get here late?” Cherry asked as she move towards Romeo ignoring Tahlia’s presence.
“But I didn’t invite you ” Romeo said watching Tahlia reaction.
“You didn’t but your mom told me about it. Am a bit disappointed, how can you go on a trip without inviting your fiancee?” Cherry added as she put her hand in his arm.
“Er… I better go and get change” Tahlia said as she quickly left them.
Romeo was about to go after her but Cherry restrained him.
“Aren’t you going to show me my room?” Cherry asked.
“Cherry, I know why you are here and it’s time I set things right. This marriage thing wasn’t me, I feel nothing for you and there’s no way in hell that am going to marry you and so I suggest you start getting rid of the thought that you will ever be my wife cause…”
“Cause you love Thalia right?” Cherry finished for him.
“If you know that why do you keep up with this?” Romeo asked.
“Cause I can’t give you up easily. Have been in love with you for years and just out of nowhere that girl shows up and steal your love from me, I won’t take that! I refuse to give you up” Cherry yelled at him before walking off leaving him starring after her.

“If you are Felix, where on earth is Donald?” Michelle asked Felix who was grinning like a fool.
“At home, pandering to the wish of his fiancee and also…he has no idea of this trip since I got rid of the message sent to him by his friends” Felix replied coolly.
“Why on earth would you do that?” Michelle yelled at him.
“To spend quality time with you” he replied which got her shaking her head lightly.
Quickly, she pulled her phone out of her pocket and was about to call Donald when Felix stopped her.
“Apart from you no one else knows that Donald has a twin not even his friends. If you tell Donald about this, am pretty sure that he he will come here straight away and our family secret which has kept hidden for years will be out in the open, do you want that for your precious Donald ?” Felix asked which got Michelle reconsidering.
“So, let’s keep up with the pretence. It’s time for dinner and we were told to gather around, let’s go” Felix said as he took hold of her hand but she pulled it out of his grasp.
“Tell me the real reason you are doing this and don’t you dare say that it’s for my sake cause I know it’s a lie, you don’t like me just as much as I don’t like you” Michelle stated fiercely.
“Am going to give you a hint. I have this streak in me that tends to go after things that belong to my brother. If he has something, I want it. If he’s trying to get something, I will try harder in taking that thing away from him in short, I want everything that belongs to Donald, every little thing” he said looking at her in a weird way.
“You can figure the rest out on your own, am going to help Peter. It’s so good pretending to be my brother, I love it!” Felix added before leaving her door step.
*****
<< NIGHT TIME >>
While everyone gathered outside the house to prepare for dinner, Cherry made her way to the back of the house.
A guy stood against the wall in the shadows waiting for her arrival.
“Why did you tell me to come here?” Cherry asked impatiently.
“To tell you not to cause trouble” he replied slowly.
“Just so you know, I don’t cause trouble!”
“You do and so to make things easier, I got this for you” he said as he pulled her a little bottle which had some colouring liquid in it.
“What’s that?”
“A potion” he replied.
“Potion? I don’t believe in voodoo” Cherry stated hating the sight of the bottled liquid.
“You want Thalia out of Romeo’s life, right?” He asked and she gave a nod in return.
“Then I suggest you use this” he said handing the little bottle to her.
“Do you think this will work?” Cherry asked in return.
“It’s meant to cause chaos” He replied as he watch her stare at the jar with a little liquid in it.
“What exactly is it’s work?” Cherry asked.
“It switch people’s soul”
“Switches soul?” A confused Cherry asked which got him nodding in return.
“Tell me more” Cherry demanded a mischievous smile splaying on her lips.
****
Jerry got outside only to see Daniella and Dennis seated together talking, what they were talking about must obviously be important since none of the noticed his arrival.
“Poor Jerry still alone as ever” Cherry taunts got him turning to her.
“What are you doing here?” Jerry asked.
“Romeo invited me” she replied smoothly.
” I doubt that,am sure you came uninvited”
“Think wh@tëver you want. All I know is that am here and no one is going to tell me to leave” Cherry stated.
“You are right. No one can tell you to leave but you will only be wasting your time since the guy you are here for has his eyes on someone else ” Jerry said hitting a point.
“That will come to an end soon and just so you know, I wouldn’t take you back even if you were the last man on earth” Cherry said shattering Jerry’s hope of getting her back.
“And so I suggest you quit this cause it makes you look pathetic” Cherry added and when she was about to leave he held her by the arm.
“And what makes you think that am still interested In you? Just so you know have got a girlfriend and am glad that I ended things with you cause if I hadn’t then I would have missed having a great girl like Daniella by my side, I doubt if you will ever know the feeling of having a great guy by your side” Jerry retaliate, liking the fact that his words had got to her.
“You bas__”
“If you will excuse me have got to go meet my girl” he added before heading to where Daniella was seated still talking to Dennis.
He knew Cherry was watching and so as soon as he got to Daniella, he interrupted their Convo.
“Have been searching all over for you, sweet heart” he said a little bit loud just so Cherry would hear him.
And added to it, he kissed a stunned Daniella on the lips.
On seeing this Cherry’s anger plummeted and quickly she left the scene.
****
After dinner everyone stayed to play a game except for Thalia who made her way to the beach.
She didn’t know what change her mood into a sour one but what she did know is that her mood changed the instant Cherry showed up.
During Dinner, Cherry had been all over Romeo. Seeing them together made Thalia realise that she and Romeo were words apart.
They might attend the same college and might be friends but Romeo’s life is different from hers and it took Cherry’s arrival for her to realise that.
She was sticking her leg in the sand and failed to notice the person walking up to her.
“Thinking about how unworthy you are of Romeo?” Cherry asked as she came to stand beside her.
“If you are here to pick a fight then I suggest you__”
“It must have been hard seeing Romeo and I together ” Cherry cut her off abruptly. ” But that’s reality. Reality is that I will end up with Romeo, you have nothing In common with him whereas I have everything in common with him, don’t you think it’s time for you to get out of his life?” Cherry asked.
“Romeo is the only one that can decide that, I don’t have to listen to you” Thalia replied and was about to leave when Cherry took hold of her hand.
“Am willing to do anything just to have Romeo by my side cause he’s mine!” She said looking like a maniac.
“Will you stop this Cherry! You are acting like a crazy person” Thalia said as she pulled her hand out of hers.
“Crazy? You want me to show you something crazy? Alright then” Cherry said as she move towards the water.
“What are you doing?”
“To take a swim and just so you know, I don’t know how to swim. I intend to__ drown myself” Cherry replied with a crazy smile on her face.
Before Thalia could stop her, Cherry ran into the water and unknown to Thalia she had open up the bottle which held the potion, pouring it’s content into the water.
“You are going to die! Get out of the water!” Thalia yelled but Cherry only let out a smile before diving further.
Thalia knew it would be too late to call for help and so she went after Cherry herself.
****
While Michelle did her best to ignore him, Felix kept pestering her by doing his best to gain her attention.
And on the other Daniella couldn’t help but to stare at Jerry thinking about the kiss he gave her earlier.
She has been wondering why he did that but didn’t dare ask him and now curiosity is killing her since she keep on wondering if he did that solely because he feels something for her.
“Jerry I…why did you do that earlier?” Daniella asked hopefully.
” What? Oh, the kiss. Am sorry about that but Cherry was around and well, I ended up arguing with her. I wanted to prove a point to her which I did, am sorry if I took you by surprise” he said shattering her hope.
“It’s no problem but I would___prefer if you would give me a heads up for next time” Daniella said which got him laughing.
“Next time? I doubt if there will be one. Just forget about the kiss, it means nothing” he said nonchalantly further ruining Daniella’s hope of anything ever happening between them.
“Have you guys seen Thalia?” Romeo asked bringing everyone gaze on him.
“Hurry! Thalia and Cherry are both drowning” Peter yelled and immediately they all headed for the beach.
****
<< NEXT MORNING >>
Thalia opened her eyes due to the noise made by the sea. She sat up trying to recall the things that happened last night.
Cherry had threatened to drown herself and she had tried to save her that was the last thing Thalia remembered.
Where is everyone__She thought as she got off the bed heading for the door but something caught her attention.
Something which got her moving back to the mirror, Her eyes widened on seeing Cherry’s face instead of hers.
Why on earth is she in Cherry’s body___ she thought as she went to open the door only to see Peter there.
“It’s a good thing you are up, I was told to come check up on you. Are you okay?” Peter asked and when Thalia was about to reply, nothing came forth.
She tried to speak again but no sound came out.
Not only is she trapped in Cherry’s body, she also couldn’t speak….
