Episode 7 & 8 : Friendships Tested at Holly High
Bryce eyes widened immediately on hearing that.
Jasper smirked as he watched his expression.
Bianca wanted to go meet them, but roselle pulled her back.
“Don’t even think of interfering in their matter”she warned.
“But you don’t expect him to walk around the school naked,it won’t be funny”she said trying to freed herself from her hold.
“To me it would be fun “roselle giggled, letting go of her.
“Roselle how could you support evil, that’s not right “she said.
“Am sure, you will get more followers if you video this and post it , you’re a journalist right “she said in a mockery tone.
“You know what, am out of here “she stormed out of the hall angrily.
“Gosh she get angry easily.well let me see what’s going happen next”she said and turned back at Bryce and jasper.
“What are you waiting for?, let’s start “jasper said.
“Are you sure you wanna do this, you haven’t play basketball with him before, what if he wins, what if you becomes his slave, just what if?”Miguel whispered.
“Relax man, you’re getting yourself work out, just seat and watch how things goes”he said while patting his back.
Miguel didn’t argue with him anymore,coz there’s no use talking to him, he won’t even listen.his eyes met with roselle, roselle who saw this quickly took her gaze from him.
Yeah he has a huge crush on roselle.roselle knows about it, she has caught him staring at her alot of times.
“Umm..am not interested”Bryce shuttered.
not that he can’t play basketball.it’s just that he don’t wanna get himself involve in all this school stuff.
If by chance he wins, there is no way jasper will wanna stoop so low to be his slave.
“My friend, why do you sound so afraid”he pouted.
“Thought you all said, your coach isn’t around “the teacher said while walking into the hall.
“That’s what we heard “.
“Then what are you still doing you here, don’t you all have classes”He yelled.
“We do sir”.
“Then start going”.
👥He just ruined the fun
“You’re lucky today man.but I know they will surely be next time “he pushed him out of the way before walking to the class.
Bryce breath out in relieve, thank God the teacher came,he too walk to class as well.
Roselle was humming a song as she walked to her house, she lived there with her mom.her mom is a single mom.according to what her mom told her, her father abandoned her when she was pregnant.
“Mom,am home”she yelled as she entered the small house.
She walked further to their room when she got no answer.
Her heart beats more faster, when she saw her mom laying on the floor,her inhaler were few feets away from her.she’s an asthmatic patient.
“Noooooo, this can’t be happening mom!!”she yelled as balls of tears rolled down her cheeks.
“Someone, help me please…”she cried, kneeling closed to her.
All of a sudden, someone barged into the room.
“Hey what happened to her?”Miguel asked.
“Wait.. what are you doing here?”She asked instead.
“How I got here doesn’t matter, follow me to the car let’s take her to the hospital”
“Am not going with you”She said.
“Okay fine” he said
“Wait are you really going?”She yelled.
“You asked me to”he said, and carried rose mom in his arms.
“Be careful with her please”she cried as she locked the door.
Roselle entered the car and they drove out of the compound.
LATER IN THE DAY*
Skylar came down from the car and walked majestically into the restaurant, she was swaying her hips as she moves.
all the guys in the restaurant couldn’t help but stare at her.she was putting on a white short gown, she was also holding a black purse in her left hand.
she was really hungry and she couldn’t cook either.she decided to go eat at a restaurant and the restaurant which was close by was MARK’S RESTAURANT.so she decided to try their food.
She badly wanna eat, she don’t care if it doesn’t look classic at all ,no one will see her anyway.
“Ma’am what will you….?”
Bianca heart skip a bit when she figured out the person was Skylar.she thought she had come here for her. since the day she poured the food on her, she hasn’t talked or do anything to her.she know she will definitely get back at her.
“A waitress?What other things do you do… maybe a prosti…..”Skylar rolled her eyes dramaticly.
“Hey!! don’t even complete it,else you’ll regret it”.
“What huh?, you’re going beat me,I can’t wait to see you try”she smirked.
“Well,I didn’t come for you b*tch,I just came to eat that’s all.I’ll get back to you but not now.fear my return”she said.
“What do you want?”she asked.
“Look at her trying to act like a good girl.anyway I want just hot tea”she said, while pressing her phone.
Bianca stared at her in shock. ‘this girl is definitely up to something’ she thought.who order hot tea in the afternoon.
“Are you even listening to me at all”she hit the table loudly, interrupting her thought.
“Of course, just hot tea right?”she said.
“Yeah dummy, how many times am I gonna say it”bianca nod her head and walk away.
“Is they even AC in here?, why is here so hot?..gosh ..”She asked no one In particular.
Bianca brought back the tea and dropped it on skylar table.
“Here’s your tea”she bowed.
“What’s this?”skylar asked.
“It’s your tea”
“Why’s it hot?”
“Coz you asked for it?”
“I don’t remember asking you for hot tea,I remembered ordering a cold tea”she said.
She sighed heavily and went in again and brought back a cold one.
“Did I said cold tea,I said hot tea”she said.
She went back in again and the same thing happened.
“Hot tea”
“Cold tea”
“Hot tea”
“Cold tea”
“Hot tea”
“What’s your problem exactly huh?”bianca yelled in frustration.
“I haven’t even started yet you’re tired. ,now go in there and get me a cold”she said.
“Fine, I’ll get you one”she smirked, before walking away.
She brought the tea and purposely spilled the tea on her dress.
“Opps sorry,I wasn’t watching where I was going”she said in a mockery tone.
“How dare you?, do you know how much this dress cost huh”she said, getting up from the chair.
“Serve your right.who is the b*tch now?…you are”. she smiled.
“Really?,a bitch, I swear once I get home,I’ll tell my dad to bring down this restaurant.don’t even know what am doing in this restaurant, gosh infact am out of here”.
“Please ma,am,am sorry”Mark(the owner of the restaurant)rush in.
Bianca scoffed as she watched her so called boss begging Skylar.
“Please don’t”.
“Well am not that bad, I’ll only let this slide because of your boss”
Skylar hissed loudly and picked her purse from the chair before leaving the restaurant.
“Bianca what have you done?”
“Boss,am sorry to say.i did nothing wrong . and I can’t seat and watch that bitch insult me, I’ve no choice than to defend myself… and am sure you had saw the way she was ordering me around”.
“You should know that the customers are always right and For all what you did today,I’ll deduct some amount from your salary”she said before walking away.
“Boss!!”she half yelled.
Bianca served her last customer for the day.the restaurant usually close by 4am ,she walked to the door and she turned the ‘OPEN’ sign to ‘CLOSED’.
After skylar drama today she just wants a good rest.she dropped her apron, before locking the restaurant.
she turned to leave when a car stopped at the front of the restaurant and Bryce came down from the car.he was looking hot as usual .his hands were tucked in his pocket as he lean on his car.
“are you guys closed for today?”He asked.
Episode 9 & 10 : Unexpected Confessions
“are you guys closed for today?”He asked again.
“As you can see I just locked the restaurant,so why asking”she said.
“Is that how to talk to a costumer?”he said walking close to her.
Bianca shifts backwards also.
“I can pay you a thousand dollar,if you open it,you guys food taste nice,I wanna try it again”he whispered.
“Okay but can you stop coming close? I’ll open the door for you”she said, and quickly bring the car from her bag and open the door.
They both went inside.
“So tell me what you want and I’ll quickly get it for you”she quickly said.
“Why are you in a rush?”
“I need to be fast,my mom already know the actual time I close and if she did not see me any moment from now, she will be extremely worried”she said.
“Is that so… okay I want Chinese fried rice mixed with salad”he said.
“Okay mister”
“It’s Michael… bianca”.
“Bianca… wait how do you know my name?”she asked.
“Ummm….I heard someone calling you that name the other day….or isn’t that your name?”.he shuttered.
“Yeah that’s my name, I’ll go get your food for you”she said and walks in.
“Omg that was close”Bryce whispered,as he clean the invisible sweat off his face.
She came back some minutes later and dropped the food on the table with a glass of water too.
She sits down on a chair not too far from him.she was just watching him as he eats.
“Come eat with me”he gesture for her to come.
“Don’t worry, and please be fast”she said.
Some minutes later, they came out of the restaurant.bianca locked the door. After locking it.
she brought out her phone from her bag and looked the time and gasped loudly ‘8pm’ dot.she started panicking immediately.
“Why are you panicking?”
“I need to go “she started walking faster.
“I’ll drop you off, just tell me your address”he said.
She stopped walking and turned to him.
“I can’t tell you my address Michael, I can’t enter a stranger car”.
“But am not a stranger right, you know my name,I know your name,so am definitely not a stranger to you”he said.
Bianca was surprised. what bringing all this talk.nevertheless she told him her address.
He entered the car, and she entered the car also.
“Your seat belt”he pointed.
“Ohh the seat belt”She said, and she hold the seat belt and try putting it on but she can’t.
Bryce shook his head as he watched her struggle with the seat belt.he didn’t know when he burst into laughter.
“It’s not funny”she glared hard at him.
Bryce moved closer to her.she could even feel his breath on her face. she thought he was gonna kiss her.so she closed her eyes.
“All done”he said bringing her out from her thought.
Bianca opened her eyes slowly.she palmed her face.
“What am I even thinking gosh…he just a stranger”she thought.
After a long ride,they pulled to a halt in front of her house.she quickly got down from the car.
“Thank…”he didn’t wait for her to complete her words before driving away.
≈AT THE HOSPITAL:≈
The doctor checked Adele(roselle mom) for the fifth time.Roselle keep asking the doc to come check on her.
“I told you she’s fine, it’s a good thing she was brought here quickly .But make sure, something like this never happens again “the doctor said.
“Yeah, but will she be okay? “She asked again to be sure.
“Of course, she will be okay “he smiled.
“Hmmm, doctor what about the bills?”she asked as she bits her bottom lips.
“No need,he has already settled the bills already “he replied.
“Oh is that so”she said looking at Miguel who was sitting on a chair close to the bed,he quickly turned his face.
“Don’t disturb her okay”he said, before leaving the room.
Immediately he closed the door, roselle walked to where Miguel was sitted.
“Why are you doing all this, what your aim?”she asked.
“Nothing,I just like helping people that’s all”he lied.
“Really, how many people have you helped so far?”she asked, folding her arms under her breasts.
“Shhhh…. don’t disturb her, she might wake up any moment from now”he said, ignoring her question.
some minutes later.
Roselle eyelid were slowly jamming together, but she is trying so hard to resist the sleep.
All this while Miguel was watching her.
“You can just sleep, I’ll watch over you and your mom”he said.
She quickly opened her eyes.
“Me sleep?…who told you I wanna sleep “she yawned.
“But you’re yawning, it’s obvious you wanna sleep,so sleep”he said.
“But what about you, You should go home now, your parents might be worried about you yonno”she said.
“They don’t care if I even return home next year.all they care about is their selves,so you can sleep, while I watch you and your mom”he said.
“Okay,if you say so, but once she wakes up make sure you let me….”she didn’t finished her statement before dozing off on the bed.
“What a cutie”he smiled, kissing her soft hair.
He chuckled as he remember how he got to roselle house.he was actually following her without her knowing.
When he saw her running in. he quickly suspect something was wrong,so he entered the house too.
And that’s how he got here.
He knows she’s not that beautiful, neither is she the busty type.but all that doesn’t matters at all when it comes to love.
What she thinks is that he just has a crush on her.But there’s more to it.he will wait till anytime she realizes his feeling.
He stare at her sleeping face one last time before resting his head on the chair properly.
≈BRYCE HOME≈
Bryce pulled to a halt in the mansion,he came down from the car but his eyes caught something,he saw another car in the parking lot,it only means one thing.
His dad is around.
He went inside but heard someone sniffing. he saw Amelia head buried down on the dinning table,she looks like someone crying.he quickly rushed her.
“Hey are you okay?”he asked, checking her body out.
“Bryce, where do you went to? have been trying your number but it keeps saying it’s not available.do you know how worry I was?”she asked slowly, while cleaning her eyes.
“I went to see a friend “he said.
“Since when do you start keeping friends?”she asked.
“Wait… what’s wrong with you?.. your voice sounds cracked some how”he asked.
“It’s nothing,I thought something bad has happened to you”she said, taking her eyes from him.
“Tell me truth Amelia”he yelled banging his hand on the table.
“It’s dad!!!!”she yelled and burst into tears.
“He came back a while ago, and I rushed to go meet him, but immediately I got to him he pushed me and I fell on my butt…. “She hiccuped before continuing.
“Then I asked him what wrong, and he told me he don’t wanna see me again, that my face reminds him of mom I…I…I..”she cried.
“Shhhh…stop talking”he said.
“I did nothing wrong, did I?”she asked slowly.
“No you didn’t, and am going to meet him right now “he stood up from the chair.
“No… don’t go … please “she pleaded with tears while pulling him down.
“Am sorry….”he cleans the tears from her eyes and draw her close to himself and starts patting her hair.
“Why are you apologizing? it’s not your fault “she said admist in tears.
“It’s okay “he said and kiss her hair.
Richard could be seen going through some documents in his room.bryce pushed the door angrily and he entered.luckily he was able to put Amelia to sleep.
Richard raised his head from the documents , he dropped the documents on the table, before asking.
“What bring you here my son?”He smirked,he already knows what brought him here already.
Amelia.
“Don’t you ever get tired huh,it wasn’t her fault”he yelled.
“Keep calm boy, you might wake your sweet little sisi up”he chuckled.
“Why do you hate her so much huh?”he asked.
“The reason is that, if your mom didn’t gave birth to her, she would have still be alive”he muttered.
He misses his wife so much.
“I know you miss mom, but it’s all in the past now”he said slowly.
He also remember the good times he spend with his mother.
“So how are you coping in school so far”Richard asked, changing the topic.
“Have you finally learned your lesson?”He asked.
“Yes”he replied.
“Good then, first thing tomorrow, I’ll be sending you back to Italy and you’ll complete your highschool there”he said.
There’s no way, he’s going back to Italy. What about Amelia?.they are still many other things he wanna take care of.
“Don’t worry dad.i’ll complete my highschool here”He said.
“Really,I thought you didn’t like here”he asked.
“That was then dad,now I like here”he smiled.
“You’re acting weird”he raised a brow.
“Good night dad”he wave before leaving the room.
“This boy”He shook his head before going back to his document.
NEXT DAYHOLLY HIGH
Bianca walked into the classroom,she didn’t see roselle in her seat.
‘Maybe she’s sick or something’ she thought.
But she was surprised to see someone else sitting on roselle chair.
BRYCE
Her eyes widened the more when she saw him waving at her too.
“When did this one start?”she thought.
Episode 11 & 12 : Healing Old Wounds
Her eyes widened the more when she saw him waving at her too.
“When did this one start?”she thought.
Bianca pretend as if she didn’t see him and just walked to her seat.
Bryce was even staring at her but she didn’t bother to look at him.
Few minutes later the marketing teacher came into the class.
“So first of all I’ll be asking you all questions on what we taught the other time”she said, after writing some things on the board.
“So what’s the meaning of international marketing in marketing?”she asked.
Everyone was looking at her like a dummy.
“So any answers?”she asked, looking around the class for answer.
Jasper quickly raised his hand up, and stood up like a proud peacock he is.
He was quiet for a while.
“Maybe you didn’t get the question properly,the question is what are international marketing in marketing”she asked again.
“Hmm…it means how to market a market”he said without blinking.
The whole burst into laughter on hearing his words.
The teacher face dropped on hearing that.
“Wrong”she said.
Jasper gasps on hearing that word.how can she say he got the answer wrong?.he quietly sat down due to embrassment,coz the whole class were all staring and laughing at him.
Skylar raised her hand and stood up, even before the teacher could say a thing.
“International marketing are marketing that market a marketer”she smiled.
Another round of laughter were heard again.
“Skylar can you just sit down please”the teacher said.
Skylar let out a scoff before sitting down.
“Can anyone with reasonable answer help us,else we won’t be leaving here”she said.
Bryce shift closer to bianca and whispered the answers into her ears.
“Huh?”she whispered.
“That’s the answer, you should stand up and say it out”he whispered back.
“But why can’t you say it out yourself?”she asked.
“Bryce and bianca,if you don’t have any answer to give us, kindly keep quiet or you’ll be punish”she warned.
“We are sorry ma”Bryce apologized.
“Actually I’ve something to say”she stood up and look at Bryce giving him a ‘ Are you sure the answer is correct’ look.
“Yes”he whispered.
She exhaled heavily before saying….
“International marketing …involves the firm in making… one or… more marketing mixed decisions …across boundary”she shuttered, trying to remember everything Bryce told her.
“Correct”The teacher said and the whole class clapped for her.jasper and Skylar and jasper weren’t among those people thou.
Their eyes were filled with anger and jealousy.if looks can kill both of them would have been dead by now.
Bianca smiled proudly at herself before turning her gaze to Bryce.she let out a thank you smile.
Bryce smilled back at her too.
Bianca was just coming back from the restroom.she saw Bryce standing at a corner.it seems like he is waiting for her.
“Did he follow me here”She thought.
She ignored him and walked past him.
“Hey wait for me “Bryce called running after her.
“What!!!”bianca asked.
“Hey I mean no harm okay, hmmm…i just want us to be friends “he said slowly while adjusting his glasses properly.
“Wait….coz you helped me in class, doesn’t mean we are close or…”she said.
“No…It’s not because of what happened in class… it’s just that, since I came to this school I don’t have any friend… and I want us to be friends and you’re also different from them”he said.
“Really?sorry I don’t make friends with people who can’t stand up for themselves”she said while walking away.
“I can start defending myself,if that’s what you want “he said.
“Really? You’ll start doing that?”she asked.
“Yes…”he said, wanting to hold her hand.
“And don’t be too close to me, this is my first time having a male gender as a friend,I don’t also want others to think we are in a relationship or something”she said.
“If you say so”he smiled.
“Why are you smiling?”she asked.
“Nothing”.
“Then stop smiling.. it doesn’t suit your face”she started walking away.
” what do you mean?”.he asked walking after her
“Forget I said that”she said.
“hey!!… Miguel!!”she called, while running with a big text book in her hand.
Juris (skylar friend) have been crushing on Miguel ever since he started Holly high.But he doesn’t even notice her presence and this is because his eyes were only on roselle.
The only time They talks to each other is when they are in the lab.
The worst part of the whole matter is that.the reason she decided to join science class is because of Miguel.
“What do you want?”he asked.
“It’s your chemistry textbook,you forgot it at the lab”she said.
“Oh thanks “he took it from her hand and continues walking.
“Wait “she called walking faster just to meet his pace.
“What do you want again “he groaned.
“The thing is,am having problem in solving some things in chemistry and physics, and since you’re good in both,I want you to teach me so I can understand them better”she said.
“Teach you?, come on, there are other science student who are good in teaching you, like jasper “he said.
“Jasper is a pervert,he might asked me for something in return “she pouted.
“Fine I’ll help you “he said.
“Really thank you “she immediately hugged him so tight like he’s gonna running away.she make sure her b*b’s were pressing his chest.
Miguel stylishly pushed her away from him.
“Oh am sorry, am just being too excited “she bit her bottom lips.
“It’s okay”he said.
“Should I come over to your house later for the teaching or we will be…?.”she asked.
“Are you okay?…my house?”he questioned.
“Oh gosh… did I just said house.. clumsy me.. I was just kidding…. what I mean is that when are we starting the tutoring”she shuttered.
“Let just start tomorrow”he said and she nodded.
“I love you…oh sorry… see You later “she waved and run away happily.
“I wonder what wrong with her”he shrugged before walking to his class.
AT THE CAFETERIA
Skylar and Bryce were could be seen at the cafeteria, both were eating quietly.
Jasper and Skylar came to cafeteria the same time, smile were playing on their faces.skylar eyes moved around till she spot them, she let out an evil smile.
They are obviously up to something.
“Just watch…once I tell Bryce to lick my feet,he will gladly do it..why?..coz am the queen of the school”she said proudly.
“RealIy ? I doubt that… there’s no way he will do that”he shrugged
“Laugh and learn fool”she cursed.
“But what if he refuse to do it?”Jasper asked.
“Gosh.. you’re unbelievable…if he refuse then you’ll lick my blood for Just today”She smiled.
“What?”jasper squeezed his face irritatingly.
“Yeah am on my period”.
“And?”
“And if they refuse.. you’ll fck me real hard till I pass out just for today”she whispered. “I like the sound of that”he smiled. His hand moved to her chest and he squeezed her bob’s, before he could even blink his eyes a resounding slap landed on his cheek.
Her held his cheek in shock.
“What’s wrong with you huh… for Christ sake we are in the caff”she said and walk to where bianca and Bryce were seated.
“Whatever”he rolled his eyes and followed her.
“What’s up waiteress and nerdy boy”she smirked, both hands were resting on the table.
Bryce and bianca didn’t look at her.they ignored her and continued eating their food.
Jasper fold his arms while smiling.
“Hey am talking to you”she yelled.
“Listen Skylar we’re hungry that’s the reason we are eating.. but I guess you aren’t hungry that’s the reason why you’re disturbing us”
👥 Gasps
“What!!”
“Yeah… and secondly am sure you must have drank a lot of jasper sperm… that’s why you’re not hungry too”She said directly to her face.
👥 WHAT!!!
“How dare you bitch…”she raised her hand to slap bianca, but bianca next words make her hand to hang in the air.
” let it touch my pretty face…I DARE YOU SKYLAR……I DARE YOU!!!”
