“You must be angry. I’m sorry. I had no choice but to lie. Had to say to avoid suspiciousness and repercussions that could lead to us breaking up” Whitney whispered, looking at Jayden whose back were against her on the mattress he laid on.
Jayden slowly turned to her.
“This relationship is quite risky”
“That why I wanna turn it real. Now, I’m guessing why you didn’t raise a finger during the crush question. You didn’t want any thing to implicate us and this fake relationship you are struggling to keep till the 100 days ends”
“I didn’t wanna do anything rashly. I could have warned you before hand. Let’s be careful next time. The dare game might be tougher” She sighed.
“You said you were sorry, right?” Jayden asked.
She looked at his face and nodded.
“Then, can I sleep with you?”
“Are you crazy??” She gasped and covered herself with the duvet.
“No!” He gawked at her.
“That wasn’t what meant. I mean I wanna sleep with you on the bed. Close to you. I won’t do anything stupid or nasty”
She folded her lips.
“Just for tonight?”
He smiled sweetly and nodded.
“Come” She gestured with a nod.
He giggled and sprang up quickly. Then, jumped on the bed.
“Easy!” She exclaimed.
“I’m just excited” He smiled.
They faced each other with the duvet over them.
“And why wouldn’t you be happy? You’re sleeping close to your crush so it normal to feel excited” She giggled, softly.
Jayden smiled at her and fondled her cheek with his palm, and also took the stands of hair away from her face.
“So,, now…who’s your crush? Its just us so you’d better talk and say the truth only. Who is it? Me, right?” He asked, whispering, staring deep into her eyes.
Whitney took his hand off.
“You’ll know soon. 6 more days to go now”
“Its too long. I can’t wait anymore. Tell me your reply now. Let’s start dating”
“Ssh. Quieten down. What if someone hears us. Just go to sleep” She muttered and closed her eyes.
After 5 minutes, she opened it to see Jayden smiling and staring at her.
“Weren’t you sleeping?” She frowned, lightly.
“How will I sleep when you distract me” He answered.
“Get off then” She tried to hold her smile, pushing him.
“Sorry, sorry” He chuckled.
“I’ll go to sleep” He added.
“But why did you wake up? I thought you were asleep?” He asked.
She sighed deeply.
“I don’t know. I can’t sleep”
“Me too” He whispered, adjusting his body closer.
“I’m so bored…” She pouted.
“Let’s while away time then” He said.
“How?” She raised her brows.
He quickly raised his head and stole a quick and loud peck from her lips.
“Hey” She whispered.
“You clearly promised you wouldn’t do anything nasty”
“I’m sorry but you know I break the rules”
“Its not a rule. Its a promise” She said.
He chuckled.
“So, how do we while away time?” She asked.
“I’m really bored and its getting awkward. Let’s do something”
“Okay then…” He replied.
“What’s that?” She asked.
He slowly raised his head up and forwarded his face to hers.
Whitney eyes widened while he was at this.
“Let’s kiss” He whispered, pouting his naughty juicy lips.
Jayden suddenly got pushed off the bed by Whitney.
“Oww! My back” He Mõ@ned.
“Good for you! Sleep there! So lewd” She said, and turned her face over.
“Whitneyyyy” He Mõ@ned, struggling his body.
“I’m not falling for that” She laughed.
“Naughty Jayden. He’s cute” She thought and smiled to herself.

Shannon was using her phone on the bed, when she received an email. written by sommy pearl f.
She checked it out and inhaled deeply.
“My surgery is next tomorrow. Gosh, goodbye painful tooth” She said and touched her chin.
“Ouch” She complained and quickly kept her hand down.
MEANWHILE IN THE BATHROOM***
Jade soaked her naked starked body into the water filled bathtub.
“Jayden…” She muttered, sadly. Her eyes were br!m-mln tears already.
She also took her face into the water.
She remembered last 3 years when she came back to the US after many years.
She was just arriving back from China where she lived with her parents.
**FLASHBACK**
BEIJING AIRPORT**
Jade chuckled as she looked at her phone. She was stalking Jayden’s profile, looking at his pictures.
“Finally found you on fb. After many years, we’ll meet again. Never knew you were my cousin’s roommate too” She smiled but her smile soon faded when she saw few pictures he took with his likely to be girlfriend.
Judging from the pictures, she thought they would be in a romantic relationship.
“Jayden” She inhaled.
“Why?, How dare- She gasped and a tear fell off her eye.
She zoomed the face of the girl and gritted her teeth.
“Who do you think you are? He promised to wait for me. So,, who are you??” She asked, inwardly, clenching her fist.
She stopped walking and halted her luggage. She looked up to see the same girl and a guy talking.
Her eyes widened.
“Isn’t she the gi- Jade paused and checked her phone.
It was the same girl. Jayden’s supposed girlfriend!
She quickly looked at them again.
Her eyes widened the more when these two seemed to be kissing.
“That isn’t right. Why is she- That Bîtch” She spat.
“I knew it. I knew I was the perfect one for you. I’ll come back to you but as a shadow. I’ll wait for the perfect time. Like they say, slowly and steady wins the race” She whispered and clicked the icon which took a picture of these two.
“How should I message him now? I need to change this new account now. He needs to see who his girlfriend truly is” She smirked.
“But what will be my anonymous username. Hmm…Shadow? No, not just shadow. Black shadow? No…. Jayden Best color is green” She thought.
“So,,, I’ll be green shadow” A smile suddenly crept across her red lips.
***
Jade gasped and took her face out from the bathtub. She could hardly breath cause of the water.
She swept her wet hair down with her hand and panted.
“Apart from green shadow…Do you also wanna know who I am?” She thought, looking sternly into space.
“I’m….
FLASHBACK**
“Jane! Do you wanna know my best color?” Little Jayden chuckled.
“What’s your best color? Your best color will be my best color from now on” Jane smiled, bubbly.
Jayden walked closer to her and held her collar.
“This color. Color Green” He exposed his fallen teeth, smiling widely and Jane chuckled, loudly.

“Yes. I’m Jane. Jayden’s Only First, Love. But y’all know me as my new name, Jade….”
The scene blackened at once, following a scary loud howling sound.
Maybe a wild wolf was outside. Well, who knows?
