⟨TEN MINUTES AGO⟩

The loud electric bell began to buzz loudly, signalling the end of the day’s lectures. Students could be seen trooping out of their classes, heading towards the school’s exit.

Those of them who missed lunch looked so exhausted and famished after the marathon classes. They chatted amongst themselves as they walked out.

North stepped out of the L-hall with her backpack on her left hand, and lyric’s on the other. Lyric didn’t show up in class after stepping out for a while, leaving her worried sick.

And she’s so lucky that the lecture was cancelled to the next day. The lecturerer couldn’t make it due to personal reasons he had to tend to.

“Where could she have gone to without informing anyone?? She’s making me concerned…” North knitted her eyebrows as she walked through the hallway, with her head bent down.

North who had her head down while walking suddenly bumped into someone. A smile spread across her face when she saw it was Floyd.

“North..”

“Floyd…”

They both said in unison. Floyd chuckled lightly and gestured at her to go first. He’s such a gentleman.

“Have you by any chance seen Lyric anywhere around the school? She seems to have disappeared. It’s unlike her to disappear without a single trace,, without telling me” North said and Floyd’s eyes widened.

He felt his heart skip a thousand beats. It was so shocking actually, cause that had never happened before.

He’s never felt that way before. And he can’t believe a girl made him feel the legendary skipping of heartbeat and worry.

*Has he really fallen for her in just a week of knowing each other?* His subconscious thought.

“Lyric is missing??. I left her at the library a few minutes ago. But i realized that my phone wasn’t with me,, that’s why i returned to get it” Floyd stuttered, still trying to process what North had just told him.

North shook her head in disbelief and handed lyric’s backpack over to him. She patted his back slowly and said.

“Once you find her, please help me give this to her. I already helped her put her note books in it. I gotta go rn, my driver must be waiting for me at the garage..” She said, and he nodded.

As North walked away, she turned back for a moment to wave him goodbye, before finally walking out of sight.

“Where could she be?” Floyd wondered and went in.

❥❆❥❆❥❆❥

“Goodbye world…” Lyric sobbed as her hand became slippery and loosened from the railings.

She thought it was the end, she had already given up on life, when suddenly, someone caught her hand and pulled her up.

She raised her head up to look into the eyes of her Knight in shining armor, only to see the last person she ever expected to be there.

Her face streaked with tears as she struggled to stay upright. Her eyes were red and puffy from crying for so long.

The world seemed to tilt and spin, and her vision swam as she felt her blood drip to the ground. She has lost a lot of blood.

“Tha..nk you…” Lyric faltered her steps and was was about to hit the ground, when she was caught by the waist and pulled back to safety.

He caught her!

“I don’t want to d!e. Ple.. ase sa.. ve me..” She mumbled as she stared deeply into his eyes, before passing out in his arms.

Emerald gently carried her in a bridal style and began to advance towards the staircase. He had already gotten to the last step, when Floyd suddenly appeared in front of him.

His hands flew to his mouth when he saw lyric’s condition. And the sight of her blood made him more worried.

“Huh? How did this happen? What happened to her? Is she badly hurt??” Floyd bombarded him with so many questions that he became extremely pissed.

“Get lost” Emerald glared and pushed him out of the way. With hastened steps, he finally got to were his car was parked.

His driver was already waiting for him there. When he saw Lyric laying almost lifeless in emerald’s arms, his pupils dilated instantly.

“Let me help you with that sir” His driver said and opened the door for him. Emerald placed Lyric at the back seat and shut the door.

“Can i come with you? Please..” A voice said from behind, and emerald turned. A frown appeared on his face the moment his gaze landed on Floyd.

For some reason, he was feeling quite irritated by his presence. Something in him fumed when he first set eyes on him.

Floyd took a step closer, closing the distance between them. And with pleading eyes, said.

“If i don’t go with you i’ll feel so guilty. I think i have an idea about who did this. She did this because of me” Floyd stated, feeling guilty.

He needed no soothsayer to tell him that the person behind this is none other than the girl that has been crushing on him for a while now.

Having a crush on him is one thing,, and hurting someone because of that is another thing. She must be mentally deranged to have done that.

It’s only a mani@c that can hurt someone because of a stvpid one-sided crush. Pffft!😏

“So you’re the reason why she’s this way?? As from today onwards, i don’t want to see you around her. Don’t breath the same air as her, don’t look at her,, don’t even think about her. Or else, i’ll make you pay for what you’ve done and you’ll live to regret the day you ever met me!” Emerald’s voice was low and menacing, every word dripping with venom.

As he opened the door and slid into the passengers seat, he felt the softness of the leather beneath him.

“Welcome, Boss” His driver bowed respectfully and hit the gas, flooring it as he made a getaway.

Floyd’s eyes followed the car as it drove away, until it was finally just a blur on the horizon, leaving only the memory of its presence behind.

⟨AT THE GARAGE⟩

“Tessa” Quincy shouted when she finally appeared after they had been waiting for more than twenty minutes.

She excused herself to go pee and never returned to class. They had to help her pack her things and wait for her at the garage.

“Welcome miss” Angelo the chauffeur greeted, and she replied with just a nod before smiling slightly at Mona Lisa who immediately knew something was wrong.

“Tessa are you ok?” She asked, holding her right hand. Tessa immediately pulled her hand from her grasp and scowled.

“I’m fine Lisa, i must have overworked so i need a lotta rest, we should head home now” She replied, surprising her friends.

Tessa has never spoken so nicely to them before,, not ever. This is definitely not the Tessa they know, something must have happened.

“Will you seriously be fine? You don’t look so good. But okay, let’s go. We can talk about it later” Quincy said, and she faked a smile before entering the vehicle.

Both Quincy and Mona Lisa entered the vehicle too and the chauffeur immediately took off.

⟨TWO WEEKS LATER••HEATHER HOSPITAL⟩

If de@th was an emotion that one could feel, Lyric was definitely experiencing it right now.

Her body ached, her stomach was in knots, and she currently had one of the worst migraines ever. She felt like Sh|t.

No, scratch that, she felt worse than Sh|t.

She knew she Füçked up, royally. But this time, her recklessness had almost cost her her life.

“Am i de@d?” Everything was a blur for Lyric when she finally opened her eyes, welcoming in the bright lights from the hospital room in which she was in.

Looking around, she saw that she was hooked up to various monitors, and before she could pull at any of the cords lying across her body, a hand stopped her.

“What’s going on here?” Lyric asked nervously.

“What happened to me?” She added.

“You were st@bbed honey. You almost d!Ed.” Aneesa came into view.

She nestled closer to Lyric’s chest, trying to keep her tears at bay as they kept wetting her hospital wears.

“Don’t scare me like that anymore, please don’t” She sniffed, tightening her arms on her.

“I promise” Lyric replied, and she continued staying in her arms till her mum was able to calm down.

“I can’t believe she actually tried to k!ll me. She’s really got some nerves” Lyric tried to sit up in bed, but she was too lethargic. “Ah, Sh|t. I feel like i’ve been hit by a bus”

“Take it easy, Lyric” Aneesa glared at her incapacitated daughter with pity.

“And what do you mean by she tried to k!ll you?? Do you remember who did this to you?? Tell me,, so i’ll lock that bitçh in prison. She needs to pay for her crime” Aneesa demanded. It was clear she was so annoyed.

“If you want me to heal, mentally and emotionally, you need to stop pointing the finger at others and take some of the blame for yourself. If it weren’t for you, i wouldn’t even be in this country in the first place” Lyric said and Aneesa looked quite surprised and dumbfounded.

“You need to grow up and stop screwing around, stop lashing out all the d@mn time. Stop trying to run away from your problems and just face them head on. You’re a very terrible mother, yunno”

As Aneesa processed Lyric’s words, the two women stared at each other in silence. And while the seconds slowly passed, the door bursted opened.

Emerald walked in with the doctor, he had a wheelchair in his grasp. Aneesa quickly recognized the doctor and tried to hide, but he had already seen her.

“Ohh. Mrs Dunlop you’re here. It’s been a while since you’ve visited me. I hope the medications are helping” The doctor asked, and both emerald and lyric exchanged glances.

“Medications? Mom, are you sick?” Lyric questioned, and Aneesa shook her head in denial.

“Of course not. It was just a simple migraine. I’m fine now, you don’t need to worry about me” Aneesa lied and bit her lip afterwards.

“Why do you have that with you?? Am i being discharged? I don’t feel better yet” Lyric asked.

“No. It’s just that emerald here doesn’t like the fact that you’re far away from us. So we decided that you’ll be undergoing treatment at home. The room has already been set” Aneesa replied, and Lyric mouthed an ‘oh’.

“When you said far away from us,, does that imply that he has moved in?? You let him do that without informing me?? Aren’t we a team? We tell each other everything” Lyric said, running her hands through her hair.

She couldn’t believe that her mother left her out of her business.

They both live together, so she has every right to know about who moves in and out of the house. It’s a family house for God’s sake.

“She just didn’t Know how to tell yiu. Please out yourself…” Emerald tried to explain himself, but only got shunned in return.

Lyric managed to help herself up and went in the direction of the restroom. She pulled the drip stand along with her and entered the restroom,, slamming the door h@rshly behind her.

“I’m going to use an hour in here in case you care. I’ll cry, brush my teeth and then take my bathe. So don’t be offended if i’m not out in the next twenty minutes. Traitors!” Lyric said from inside and turned on the tap.

Aneesa’s lips trembled as she fought back the tears welling in her eyes.

❥❆❥❆❥❆❥

⟨ANDERSONS RESIDENCE⟩

Raspberry was busy watching a telenovela, her legs were on the table and she was munching on her popcorn, messily.

If one were to enter,, they’ll think she’s a four year old in an adult’s body.

Raspberry was still at it, when Kingsley ran down the staircase, fully dressed up. He picked up his car key and was about to leave, when Raspberry quickly stood up and blocked his path.

“Where are you off to in such a hurry? And don’t tell me that you’ll be leaving me here,, all alone. You know how i get when I’m bored. I start breaking things. You wouldn’t want to come back and see your room in a mess” Raspberry said at the verge of tears.

Kingsley rolled his eyes and groaned frustratingly. She’s always doing one or two things that makes him tired of her.

“My friend’s step daughter was stabbed and she’s at the hospital. So i’m going there as the nice friend i am to check on her. Is that explanation enough for you??” Kingsley said, and her frown got replaced with a smile. Yaay!

“Can i go with you? Please.. please..” Raspberry pouted. She shot him the puppy eyes and it was next to hard to say no to her.

“Urggh. Sure, you can. Just don’t embarrass me as you’re always used to doing. Do anything stvpid and you’ll be banned from watching TV for a week. And also,, your little dog will be used as barbecue” Kingsley blurted out and Raspberry’s eyes widened.

She shot him a glare and quickly reached for the remote so she could put off the TV. She looked at herself in the mirror, before locking her hands with his.

“I’m ready” She smiled, moving surprisingly closer to him.

Kingsley shifted uncomfortably and released his hand from her grasp.

“We’re not a couple, we don’t have to hold hands like this. Besides, it’s not like we’re friends. You’re clinging to me like a vampire that wants to suck my blood” Kingsley joked and Raspberry landed a deafening slap on his face. His eyes widened.

“Don’t compare me with those mosquitoes. Idiot!” She sneered and stormed out of the house.

“Did she just slap me?? Who did i offend in this life??. How did i end up meeting a boy in a girl’s skin??” Kingsley cried out, still holding his stinging cheek. He’s sure that his cheek must be red by now.

★

⟨AN HOUR LATER⟩

By this time, Lyric was already done with getting ready. Emerald transferred the bill to the hospitals account and Aneesa began to push her wheelchair.

They got outside,, and at that exact moment, two cars stopped in front of them. Kingsley and Raspberry came out of the first one, while Ashton came out of the other.

“Hey buddy. Has she been discharged already??” Kingsley asked as he walked closer to them. Emerald just ignored him and helped Aneesa and Lyric get into the car.

When he was done, he looked at his friends and told them to follow him to their home. He doesn’t really have time to explain what’s going on.

Maybe when they get to the apartment, they’ll understand.

“Yaaay. Am sure it’s gonna be fun. There’s gonna be ice cream for sure” Raspberry danced funnily, and Kingsley palmed his face.

It hasn’t even been up to a minute,, and she has already started messing things up. Just what is he going to do with this girl.

“Hi. I’m Raspberry. And you are??” Raspberry stretched her hand to Ashton and he gladly received it.

“Ashton. Nice to meet you Raspberry. I hear you lost your memories. I’m so sorry about that” Ashton said and tried to retract his hands from hers, but she pulled it closer to herself.

“I have this same mark too. But it’s on my butt. Lol” Raspberry pointed at the tiny black dot on Ashton’s hand.

Kingsley nearly fell from shock. He could have sworn that he felt smoke coming out of his nostrils and ears.

“Ohh. That’s cool. I guess we both have something in common. It’s nice meeting you, Raspberry” Ashton smiled once more before finally going back into his car. He drove off afterwards.

Raspberry has never seen it on anyone before. And seeing it on his hands really caught her by surprise. She didn’t notice when kingsley approached her and grabbed her by the wrist.

“I’m never taking you anywhere again. And also,, say your last good-byes to your little dog. He’s gonna be used for barbecue tonight. Yummy…” Kingsley said and Raspberry turned to look at him with a creepy smile.

“You wouldn’t dear. I’ll chop off that worm you call a diçk and feed it to the birds before you do that.” Raspberry screamed out that Kingsley flinched.

❥❆❥❆❥❆❥

⟨TESSA’S APARTMENT⟩

“You didn’t say you’d be coming. I’d have prepared something for you” Tessa said when she opened the door and Floyd was standing on her doorway.

He was looking pissed, and he didn’t reply till he walked in and took a seat.

“Anything the issue?” She asked, trying to act all innocent but he wasn’t buying it. He stood up and grabbed her wrist tightly.

“Oucch. You’re hurting me. Hey.” Tessa frowned but he didn’t listen to her. He tightened his grip.

“Why did you do that to her? Have you gone m@d, huh? You really need a psychiatrist cause you’re going cr@zy. So insane” Floyd spat ferociously.

Tessa glared at him and pushed him away from her. She opened the door and said.

“If you’re here to accuse me of what i know nothing about,, just take your leave. Why do people always have to blame me when b@d things happen. I know i bully people,, but i can’t stoop too low to stab someone. That’s cr@zy” Tessa said admist tears but Floyd only scoffed.

“You’re going to pay for what you did to her. Play the victim all you want. But very soon,, you’ll be dancing at the Asylum with your fellow deranged friends” Floyd said and left.

Tessa slammed the door loudly and fell to the ground. Tears began to pour from her eyes as her hands tightened into a fist.

“Arrrgh!. She could have just d!ed. Why didn’t she d!e??. I’m going to finish the job. I must end her completely this time around. Arrrgh!!!” She ruffled her hair and broke half of the items made of glass in the room.

••••••

⟨NIGHT⟩

Maids could be seen moving in a flurry of activity, flitting from room to room like busy bees.

They dusted and polished, sweeping and scrubbing, their hands a blur of motion.

They carried armfuls of linens, rearranged furniture, and straightened pictures on the walls.

They worked in tandem, each knowing their role and fulfilling it with precision.

The house was transformed into a picture of perfection, every surface gleaming and every corner spotless.

They were a well oiled machine, a team of experts working together to create a flawless environment.

Some were busy arranging the dining room with the utmost care, every detail perfect.

They laid the table with shining silverware and crisp white linens, placing each piece with exacting precision.

They lit candles and arranged flowers, creating an atmosphere of luxury and comfort.

While in the kitchen, they worked in tandem, preparing a feast for their guests.

They chopped and stirred, simmering sauces and roasting meats, filling the air with delicious aromas.

They were a symphony of activity, each note perfectly orchestrated to create a meal that would be remembered for years to come.

“My son is allergic to onions. How many times do i have to tell you, Maybelline?. Try this again,, and get ready to kiss your job goodbye” Kristen scolded as she stepped into the kitchen.

“I’m sorry ma’am. Please forgive me!!!” Maybelline begged and at that very moment, Raspberry and Kingley walked into the kitchen.

They are dressed in their PJs,, it’s night time, so they’ve already taken their baths. Kingsley reached for the fridge and opened it.

He brought out a bottle of water,, uncapped it and drank more than half of it. When he was done,, he placed it back into the fridge and shut the door.

“What’s going on ma’am?? Do you have guests??” Raspberry yawned and stretched her body.

The noises the maids were making woke her from her beauty sleep.. lol.

“Mamamia!!!!. Why aren’t you guys dressed yet?? Grandpa will be here in less than an hour. Kingsley… doll yourself up. Raspberry ensure you’re well behaved” Kristen scolded and pushed them out of the kitchen.

Raspberry bursted into laughter immediately,, she never knew Kristen was this dramatic.

Kingsley shrugged and creased his brows in confusion.

“Doll myself up?? C’mon mom,, I’m not Barbie… By the way,, isn’t grand pa de@d? So what are you talking about? Dad’s really gotta come back from his trip. I’m going cr@zy here” He spoke up.

Kristen groaned and glared at both of them..

“Yeah i know. But he’ll be coming here tonight. Today is his birthday, and when he was still alive he promised to always come visit me on his birthday ,, now go. Go!!!” Kristen said and they both stared at her as if she’s gone m@d.

Kingsley understood it immediately. Ever since her father, his grandpa died, his mum hasn’t been able to accept the fact that he’s gone.

Today makes it a year since he passed away,, and his mom is doing all this just to be calm. To believe he’s still here, when he’s not.

“And you,, young lady. I just made an application for a four years Music course. You’re now a student of Cambridge college and you’ll be resuming on Monday” Kristen said and Raspberry hugged her tightly.

“Thank you… thank you…” She gushed happily.

❥❆❥❆❥❆❥

⟨MONDAY≈ CAMBRIDGE COLLEGE••8AM⟩

Students can be seen driving into the school park, some came in taxis and cabs, the likes of those who are just rushing into the school gate.

Just the beautiful buildings gives half of the explanation about the school’s prestige, it’s really magnificent.

A black shiny Lamborghini drove into the school’s park and stopped. The door opened and a pair of smooth legs descended the backseat of the car.

She shut the door of the car as she stared at the school in front of her. With a smile on her face, she catwalked her way into the school.

The students around stared at her as she walked, especially the males.

“Füçk. She’s Sëx¥”

“Gooosh. Just staring at her makes me hor*y”

“I seriously wanna kiss those bútt cheeks up to her sweet kitty…”

“Her parents bed efforts wasn’t a waste after all. She’s a goddess”

Raspberry was putting on a white long sleeved mini gown which ended just beneath her @$$ with a designer’s belt around her slim waist.

Her @$$ shook dangerously as walked and her B@@bs bounced along… In short she was very hót.

Raspberry who had her head down while walking suddenly bumped into someone. She raised her head up to see three girls glaring at her.

It was Tessa and her friends.

“Hey-”

“You piece of tr@sh!” Tessa landed a deafening slap on her cheek without wasting time.

Raspberry held her cheek tightly in pain and before she knew it,, Tessa slapped her again and pushed her to the ground.

“How dare you hit me bitçh?? Wait i know you from someone,, but can’t put my finger on it” Tessa barked.

“I’m sorry” Raspberry cried.

Tessa smirked and stretched her foot forward

“If you don’t want to get into my black book. Clean my shoes with your tongue and don’t stop until i say so” Tessa smirked

Raspberry nodded still in tears and began going down. A sneaky smirk appeared on her face immediately.

“Ok… Boss. Bla.. bla” Raspberry chuckled and stood up. Immediately she got to Tessa’s level, she showered her with unstoppable slaps.

By this time, students had already gathered. They were taking pictures and making videos.

Tessa’s eyes widened and her friends tried to attack Raspberry,, but the most shocking thing happened. Lyric and North came from behind and pulled them by the hair.

“Hey. Let go…” They yelled, and Lyric only laughed.

“This is so fun. It feels so cool to be the boss” North chuckled and pulled Quincy’s hair tightly, almost ripping it off her scalp.

Lyric didn’t take pity on Mona Lisa. Even though her belly was still hurting,, she kicked her hardly her on the belly.

“Ahh..” Mona Lisa fell to the ground with a groan, holding her hurting stomach.

North just kept pulling Quincy’s hair. Once she was satisfied,, she turned to lyric and gave her the look.

“Should i pass the scissors?” Lyric smiled ev!lly.

“Sure” North spread her palm and Lyric placed a pair of scissors on it.

“My hair…. no don’t” Quincy began crying.

North grabbed her hair and before anyone could say “poof!”, she started cutting the hair.

“No. Not my hair…” Quincy begged.

Raspberry dipped her hand into her bag and brought out a leach. She stretched her hand to Tessa and sneered.

“My friends already told me that i’ll bump into savage dogs as soon as i get here. So i brought this, just in case. I guess it’s gonna come in handy now” Raspberry said and hanged it on Tessa’s neck. She tried to push her, but Raspberry caught her hand and bent it backwards.

“Arggh” Tessa started crying.

“Now move doggie. Awwwn i have two dogs now” Raspberry smiled as Tessa crawled on the floor. Anytime she slows down,, Raspberry uses a whip to hit her butt.

“Faster f**l. I mustn’t be late on my first day” Raspberry scolded and whipped her again.

“My mummy…” Tessa cried out in pain.
