BATHROOM**
“You shouldn’t have called this late, Sweeney is asleep” Mrs Freya said immediately the video call connected.
“My day has been hectic, I’m so sorry” Delaney replied, and Mrs Freya smiled.
“I understand, have a view of your sleeping baby” she said and shifted the camera to Sweeney’s face.
“MG!, She improved!, My baby grew thick!” Delaney almost screamed.
“I told you she’d grow, the fact that she spent twelve months in your womb instead of nine doesn’t mean stagnancy, remember the doctor said it’ll only take time, the time is here, she’s becoming fat” Mrs Freya said.
“Gawd!, I’m so happy!” Delaney gushed, kissing Sweeney’s face on screen.
“And another big news, she started crawling just today!” Mrs Freya announced.
“Gosh!, Aww!, But I’m sad, normal one year old babies should be close to walking” Delaney said sadly.
“Stop worrying, she’ll balance after clocking one year next month, so… have you told her dad?”
“No”
“Why?, Do you like suffering this much?”
“No, I….
“I get that it’s unforgivable, but tell him please, and weather you like it or not, I’m bringing Sweeney over to Australia next month, she must celebrate her one year birthday with you” Mrs Freya said.
“What!”

NEXT DAY★ MMC**
It’s the finals of the runway auditions today, but aside that, the incident at the birthday yesterday is trending, together with the videos of how Madelyn fell on her cake and got blinded with icing.
She was fuming around the school cos everyone is making great jest of her as they watched the video, calling her the iconic birthday girl and miss killer.
? I just can’t stand her guts
? Bullying and racism is not enough, now it’s killing, wow!
She suddenly stopped and faced the girl who made that particular statement, she was about to hit her when Mr Stewart appeared and grabbed her, taking her away.
She roughly took her hand from him and smirked.
“What?, Now you remember me?, You left me all alone in the party last night just to follow your Bîtchy wife to be!” She shouted angrily.
“Stop being rude!” He spat, and she started breathing hard.
“I h@të you dad!” She shouted and started leaving, but he held her back.
“The gangster case has been solved, he’s dead so no way to get evidence that you did it” Mr Stewart said, and Madelyn scoffed.
“So you really thought i did it?
“You didn’t?”
“You don’t even deserve to be my dad” she rolled eyes and started leaving…
“And about the girls who ruined your party, I’ll tell Flora to…
“I don’t need Flora to handle them, I’ll handle them myself so get lost!” Madelyn said bitterly and walked away.
“Madelyn!, Gigi just entered a restroom!” Gladys came rushing with Sydney, and she smirked.
“Get a bucket of soapy water” she said, and Sydney revealed her hand. She was already holding it.
“Lead me” Madelyn smiled and they took her to the restroom.
They barged in and met Gigi washing her hands below the dispenser.
Madelyn poured the soapy water on her directly, and Gigi gasped as she became wet immediately.
She started dabbing her face with her palm so it wouldn’t penetrate into her eyes.
“How dare you connive with those Bîtches to ruin my party!” Madelyn barked and made to slap her, but Gigi grabbed the hand and turned it to Gladys.
She slapped Gladys with it before pushing Madelyn away.
“Black witch!’ Sydney said and tried attacking too but Gigi got the mop stick and gave her two hits on the head.
She fell with the others and they started looking at her shockingly.
“I won’t allow you guys to bully me anymore, it’s not a sin to be black!” She shouted and rolled up the sleeves of her shirt, revealing the big scars and marks on it as a result of their bullying.
“I won’t take it anymore, I’m a Nigerian-American, not a killer!” She shouted and took the remaining bowl of soapy water.
She poured it all on them and they started gasping.
“Start avoiding me, ducklings” she said and dropped the bucket on Sydney’s head before storming out of the restroom.
She started perceiving the scent again, so she traced it to the end of the hallway but she found no guy.
“I wonder when I’ll see who it is” she muttered and looked at her wet clothes.
“I should change” she said and made her way to the locker room.
A guy came out of a corner and smiled.
“Finally, black beauty stood up for herself” he said and made to leave but he bumped into Midas.
“Senior Tony!” Midas smiled.
“Füçker” Tony replied and took his hand.
He dropped a pack of condoms on it and winked before leaving.
“Crazy senior” Midas said and saw Dylan walking out of the males locker room.
“You’d audition with your broken arm?, Are you crazy?” He rushed to him.
“I can manage” Dylan smiled.
“Doctor said no stress” Trevor replied, coming out of the locker room.
“No stress in the audition, and besides… My audition wear is long sleeved, so my bandaged arm is covered” Dylan smiled.
“You might have changed but you’re still stubborn” Midas heaved, and Dylan smiled as he entered the hall with the guys.
The first person his eyes caught was Delaney.
She’s with her friends, laughing loudly, but she stopped laughing immediately she saw him, and her eyes moved to his arm.
She looked at it for a while before turning away from him. Dylan sighed.
Mavis came in simply, not looking at anyone but Delaney till he got to her.
“Love we need to talk” he said.
“I’m all ears” she replied, and he grabbed her hand, taking her to a separate part of the hall.
Dylan sighed and sat.
‘Should I just stay away from her like Mavis said?’
“I’m sorry about the kiss, I was out of my mind and…” Mavis said when he got to the back with Delaney.
“And crazy” she replied, and he looked her in the eye.
“I’m sorry, it won’t happen again without your permission” he said.
“What!”
“Even with your permission, I can’t kiss you?” He asked, and she blinked.
“Time to dress up!” Carina came to pull her away from him, and he sighed, leaving for the dressing room too.
“Linda!” Trevor called from the door, and her eyes widened when she saw him.
“Trevor!” She smiled and rushed to hug him.
“You didn’t even make efforts to see me” he said.
“I was searching with my eyes” she replied, and he giggled before kissing her lips.
“Did you eat breakfast?” He asked.
“Yes, you?”
“No, so come and eat with me” Trevor replied and kissed her cheek before taking her away.
Leo came in with Midas and Paisley smiled before she knew it, but Lexi suddenly appeared.
“Boiffy!” She said and he grabbed her hand.
“We need to go somewhere together” he said.
“Where?”
“Find out!” He replied and took her away.

THIRTY MINUTES LATER**
The judges are seated already, ready to start working on their sheets as the door opened, and Delaney stepped in.
She’s wearing a skimpy blue gown and her black heels. Her dress is simple but sophisticated, and as she walked, she stops to pose.
She got to the stage and met a chair which she lay s*xily on, inserting her thumb in her mouth seductively as her pictures clicked.
The judges were smiling as they recorded her points, and when she left, Mavis came in.
She’s wearing a blazer on a round necked white shirt, then expensive black pants, his hair tinted grey.
He posed on the chair as required, and after he left, Madelyn came in.
Her gown is barely covering her @$$, and she almost fell on her heels when she was about to get to the stage.
She staged her poses and smiled before flaunting her hair, then she left the stage.
Dylan came in last, wearing blazer like Mavis but his shirt is black, and his broad chest was showcased in it as he walked.
He tried hard to conceal that his bandaged arm till he got to the stage and started posing.
He only used one arm to rest on the chair, he couldn’t change sides cos of his arm, and that scared him even before he left the stage.
‘I can’t win this’ he thought sadly.
The four came back to the stage after it was over, then the judges collated the results and the chief stood.
“For the girls…” He said, looking at Madelyn and Delaney.
Madelyn was smiling confidently while Delaney held her breath.
“Madelyn Stewart…” The chief said.
“Yes!” Madelyn jumped.
“You lost to Delaney Wang” the judge continued, and Madelyn’s eyes widened.
“What!”
“Delaney Wang won”
“OMG!” Delaney’s mouth formed an O.
“And…. for the guys” the chief looked at Dylan and Mavis…
“The winner…..is….
