NOVEMBER’S MANSION
November has been sitting in the bathtub for the past twenty minutes.
She’s not rubbing the sponge on herself, rather she’s staring into space.
Lady Sawyer’s words kept echoing in her ears.
“You’re just one shameless, worthless, disgusting prostitute who wants him to lay with you, is that not it?”
Her eyes are closed as she rested back in the tub.
No matter how much she tried so remind herself that she’s not what lady Sawyer called her, it didn’t work.
She suddenly started hating her family status.
Hating the fact that her dad is the governor’s secretary, one mistake from her can cost him his job since the first lady has appeared.
It’s now obvious that it’s the first lady who’s ruling New York, the governor is just a camouflage to deceive the people.
She opened her eyes and started rubbing the sponge slowly on herself, remembering the slap she gave Newton earlier.
She tried not to feel guilty about it too but guilt enveloped her, she knows he doesn’t deserve the slap.
“Are you planning to start living in the bathroom?, November!” Monique’s voice called from the room.
She cleaned up and turned the faucet before leaving the tub.
She got back to her room and met Dahlia and Monique waiting already, they’ve dressed up.
“What have you been doing in there?” Dahlia asked.
“I don’t know” she replied and the girls exchanged glances as she started creaming after wiping her body.
“Newton fainted” Monique said when she finished creaming.
More guilt ran through her bloodstream and she stopped moving for a while.
“Heard he bled from the nose and he was taken to the school hospital” Dahlia said.
“Ok” November replied casually and went to the closet.
She picked a white jean cropped jacket and matching baggy high waisted jean outfit with Nike sneakers.
They watched her dress up and she picked her bag afterwards, then they left the house together.
“Thought you said you were gonna talk to KK about getting a new car” Monique said as they got into Dahlia’s car.
“Soon” November replied simply again, resting on the chair .
Monique and Dahlia looked at each other, wondering why she’s going monosyllabic suddenly.
“Is this still about the blind bat?, You shouldn’t take her words to heart, she’s not worth it” Dahlia said.
“But what picture did she show you on her tablet?” Monique asked.
“I don’t want to talk about it girls, just let’s go to school” she replied simply.
Monique drove them out of the hostel.

NEWTON HOSPITALS
Newton is still unconscious on the bed, the dudes are all beside him, looking at him worriedly.
“Is he waking up soon?” Ricardo said.
“I don’t think so” Kennedy replied.
“Why did he keep it from us?, After the poison was flushed last year, he was fine right?, Then why is it acting up again?” Francisco said.
“Residue?” Ricardo said suspiciously.
The doctor in his care came into the ward immediately.
“Is he waking up soon?” Kennedy asked.
“Yes, he’ll be fine, but you guys should have gotten his pills before now, each of you should always have it so when this happens it’ll be easier to save him” he replied.
“Pills?” They all chorused.
“Y’all aren’t aware?, He has the residue somewhere in his throat, I was part of the surgeons at his last surgery, the residue couldn’t be flushed”
“I knew it” Ricardo said.
“Meaning he has to keep going through pains for the rest of his life?, That’s bullSh|t, and I don’t think the darned first lady is aware of this” Kennedy said.
“She is” the doctor replied
“What!” Ricardo’s eyes widened.
“Don’t act surprised, she hasn’t gone to see Keaton at the hospital since the beginning of this year, sometimes I wonder if she’s really the mother of the twins” Francisco said.
Wendy came in alone and everyone turned to her as she walked to Newton’s bed.
“Bro get well soon” she smiled, trying to touch his hair but Ricardo slapped away her hand.
“Get lost, you don’t have any right to be here” he said and she laughed.
“Are you talking to the only daughter of the governor that way?”
“Stop saying that else I’ll slap you!” Francisco yelled.
“Is Keaton a ghost to you?, You’re the second daughter!” Kennedy shouted.
“She has a short time to live so she’s as good as dead!, I h@të her!, I h@të Newton too!, I don’t even know what I’m doing here” she said and stormed out of the ward.

NEWTON COLLEGE
November stood immediately the first class ended.
“Where to?” Monique asked.
“I need fresh air” she replied and left the class.
“Why is she behaving weird?” Dahlia asked Monique.
“She does this whenever she’s worried about something” Monique replied.
“We still have thirty minutes before the next class, should we stroll round the school?” Dahlia asked and Monique stood.
“Let’s do that”
They left the class and walked past the junior block during their stroll and surprisingly, Wendy is at it again.
Four LC students are bowing in front of her and she’s taking turn to match their heads.
“What’s she doing?” Monique said, wanting to go there but Dahlia pulled her back
“Novy isn’t here you know?” She said and Monique groaned angrily before going her way.
Dahlia ran after her.
“I h@të when November is silent like this, I don’t like her quietness at all!” Monique complained.
“Let’s wait for when she’ll be back to herself, calm down” Dahlia held her hand, pulling her into another hallway.

November sat alone on a bench at the back of her block, watching everyone that’s passing by silently.
The bullies are back to work and she has seen a lot of them today.
She’s not in the mood to even stop them or fight.
She saw Wendy slapping a student from afar and sighed.
After slapping the girl, she also poured water on her dress before slapping her again, then she pushed her and she rolled down the stairs.
November folded her fists as she watched, Lady Sawyer’s voice entered her ears again.
“Stay away from Wendy and Newton if you want to protect your family”
Of course she wants to protect her family, if her dad gets fired because of her, she won’t be able to forgive herself.
And about Newton, it’s the main reason why she came here to sit quietly.
Since she heard that he’s in the hospital in the morning, she hasn’t stopped thinking about him for a second.
She barely concentrated in class earlier, she wouldn’t stop seeing his face on her laptop.
She wondered if he’s ok every minute.
‘I regret slapping him’ she kept thinking.
To think he’s already going through a lot and she added to his sufferings, it’s bothersome.
“What’s our Pickle thinking about?” Francisco settled beside her and she smiled.
“Francophone”
“Spitfire what’s wrong?, I’ve been watching you since thirty minutes ago, you’ve been sitting here quietly”
“I’m fine” she replied and Francisco smiled.
“I might not know everything about you but we’re close enough for me to know when you’re ok or not” he said worriedly, looking at her.
She kept quiet
“Is it because of Lady Sawyer?, Come on, you should you’re not what she said” he said.
“Not that” she replied.
“Then what are you worried about?” He asked and she slowly faced him.
“How’s Newton doing?, Is he awake already?” She asked with a lot of worry on her face and he smiled.
“So it’s Newton… he’ll be fine” he said.
“He’s not fine yet?”
“He’s not awake yet but the doctor assured that he’ll wake up soon”
November sighed and dipped her hands into her Jean pockets.
“I wish I didn’t slap him”
“It wasn’t your fault, you just released your anger on the only available person” he replied.
“And now i feel like the most horrible person on Earth, maybe he’d have woken up already if I hadn’t slapped him”
Francisco turned her head to himself and smiled.
“It’s not your fault I said, trust me” he said.
“I’ll try to think like that* she smiled and he patted her.
“Are you interested in going back to class?” He asked and she nodded before standing.
They left the place together and parted ways by the base of the stairs.
He climbed up while she continued walking down the hallway.
She came across Barron and tried taking the other side but he blocked her with a mischievous smile on his face.
“Get out of my way” she glared and he smirked.
“You dare hurt Bora at the party last night?”
“Did you come to get hurt too?” She replied and he smiled.
“November you’ll shed tears, I mean real tears soon” he said.
“Let’s see about that when the time comes” she replied and pushed him out of the way.
“You’ll cry soon!, Hot tears!, You might even leave this school as a result of shame!, I’ll disgrace you in the wickedest way ever!, More than what I did last year!” He shouted and grinned afterwards.
November continued walking till she got to class.
Everyone was already leaving.
“Practical class is next, let’s go” Monique pulled her out and they got their lab uniforms before moving to the lab.
The practical lasted for an hour and everyone started leaving since the next class is immediately after the practical.
“You guys should go, I still have one day cleaning to do” she said to her friends.
“We’ll join you after the class” Dahlia said.
“No need, I’ll be done by then” she replied and the girls left for class.
The lab became empty and she started cleaning.
