Chapter 31 & 32 : Miguel and Ramona’s Secrets
Miguel and Alvin very well knows that voice, it’s none other than Monalisa. She finally walked to them earning a glare from Alvin.
” Lisa, what do you think you’re doing. It’s my party, you do not have a say.” Alvin said and Lisa smirk.
” It’s fine Mona, I don’t even wish to go a party like his.” Miguel said eyeing Alvin who scoffed.
” It’s not fine Miguel….. Alvin, you really don’t want Miguel to come to your birthday party coming up.” Monalisa asked again.
” Why should he, not like he is my friend or an important person. He should fvck off for all I care.” Alvin said and Miguel scoffed.
” Alright, that’s makes us two Miguel. Enjoy your party Alvin, you don’t need me there too.” Lisa said as he held Miguel’s hand wanting to walk away but Alvin held her. Miguel frowned.
” Lisa, what are you saying. Of course I need you there, you have to come. Your are number one on my invitation list.” Alvin said.
” Okay then good, Miguel’s also coming.” Lisa said and smiled. More like a smirk.
Alvin frowned for a while before he thought of something and he accepted.
” Okay then, Miguel’s invited.” Alvin said and looked at Miguel before he left there going to his suite.
” You really didn’t have to do that Mona, not like I wished to go there.” Miguel said and Lisa smiled.
” If am going to be there, then you ought to be there also. And I am in the right position to convince Alvin, so you are coming.” Monalisa said and Miguel smiled at her which she reciprocated.
” Am going home already, you?” Miguel said.
” Oh, am waiting for Tiana. She went to take something in the library, but you can go. Bye.” Monalisa said and waved a little.
” Okay then, I’ll see you tomorrow. My regards to Mrs Joanna.” Miguel said and Lisa waved back.
Ramona who have been staring at them from afar, clenched her fist in anger.
Tiana just got out of the library and was rushing to meet Monalisa at the gate.
She spotted Jayden but decided to ignore him, not wanting him to notice her but that failed. Jayden looked at her and quickly began walking to her.
He immediately held Tiana’s hand cause she was already leaving his side.
” Tee, you have been avoiding me. Why?” Jayden said shorting her name which made Tiana rolled her eyes.
” Tee? My name is Tiana okay, get that clear.” Tiana snapped.
” But Tiana, what’s wrong. Have I offended you?” Jayden asked looking so worried.
” Oh, you think you can act all sweet with me here and then go back to Barbie to share a kiss with her and act all cuddled up. You didn’t even retreat yourself.”
” Tee, what are you talking about. I don’t get.” Jayden asked not getting it.
” I saw you both, don’t try to pretend.” She half yelled and that’s when it strucked Jayden. He cussed Barbie inwardly thinking she might have saw Tiana which made her did it.
” I promise you Tiana, it’s took me unaware cause I was warning her to stay away from me. Am sorry Tee, it’s Barbie’s fault. I didn’t know she was going to do that.” Jayden apologise and Tiana rolled her eyes.
” Someone is waiting for me, I don’t have to waste my time with you. It’s Saturday tomorrow, Alvin’s having his birthday, we won’t be able to go to California. It’s best if you will shift it to another day.” Tiana said and started walking away.
” Thanks for going with me, and it’s not what you think it is.” Jayden yelled after her but Tiana ignored.
Friday • Alvin’s family Mansion•
Alvin finally came home yesterday night and slept over with his parents.
He is busy getting ready for the basketball game competition which is today. He finished putting on the basketball sport wear and walked down the stairs.
He met with his father in the living room and decided to tell him about his birthday party tomorrow.
” Morning dad.” He prostrated.
” Hey son, how was your night?” His father asked.
” It was fine thanks Dad. Where’s mom?” Alvin asked.
” She is busy in the kitchen, Alvin I would like to tell you something.” His father said and he raised a brow.
” I will be going on a work trip early tomorrow, but don’t worry I will wish you happy birthday tomorrow before I go.” His father smiled.
” Really? No problem Dad, safe trip.” Alvin beamed with smile. There’s no use telling him then, his Mom will easily accept anyways.
” Don’t turn the house upsidedown tomorrow cause you’re home now. Why didn’t you come all these while?” His father asked.
” I don’t have to Dad, I have a suite in college.” He replied.
” And I hope you aren’t causing any mischiefs in college. Cause you are a troublesome person.” His father said and he smiled.
” Not at all Dad, am doing great there.” Alvin lied and his father believe him.
” Okay then.”
” I’ll head to school now, bye.” Alvin waved.
” Success in the basketball game.” His father yelled after him.
Crestwood college •
Miguel arrived in school at the same time with George but George didn’t acknowledge his presence.
He walked away and Miguel decided to end the curiosity in him. He walked to him and held him.
” Hey George, what’s going on huh?” Miguel said but George didn’t answer. He jerked off Miguel’s hand wanting to walk away but Miguel stopped him again.
” George, we are ending this today. You have to tell me what’s wrong, did I offend you.” Miguel said.
” You didn’t Miguel, but am feeling guilty.” George yelled at him which took Miguel aback.
” Guilty? But why?”
” I wasn’t real from the start, am sorry but I should have told you earlier. I was the one who informed Mr Knight about you and also Lisa, your relationship too. Am sorry.” George revealed and Miguel’s eyes widened.
” You’re the one!!” Miguel half yelled looking shocked.
Chapter 33 & 34 : Rivalries Heat Up
George immediately held Miguel’s hand, Miguel was not even looking at him.
” Listen Miguel, I will explain if you give me the chance. Please just listen once.” George pleaded.
” Let go of me.” Miguel jerked him off and started walking off leaving George.
” Miguel, Miguel just listen once!!” George yelled after him but Miguel didn’t stop.
He is as confused and at the time shocked, George? His only friend in Crestwood? Why would he do this?
👥: wow, seems the two friends have had a fight.
👥: something must have transpired between them.
👥: am sure it’s Miguel, he doesn’t deserve Lisa and at the same time George.
👥: what are you saying, you can’t judge a book by its cover. It’s might be George’s fault, don’t blame my hot Miguel.
The students murmured among each other and George carried his backpack, he walked to the rooftop.
The rooftop is where he comes to sometimes, but no one knows that. The rooftop is somehow restricted to the students but George always find his way there.
He dropped his backpack and sat on the wooden chair there, tilting his head backwards as he flashback to the past.
” I should refused, I should have refused him. I hate myself now.” George muttered to himself.
THIRD LEVEL CLASS•
Miguel was in the class alone, the professor isn’t in yet. He keeps reminiscing about what he had done to make George did that.
Claire noticed that and came to sit beside him tapping him slowly.
” Hey..” she said but Miguel kept his eyes closed.
” What’s wrong? Is everything fine?” She asked again.
” Can you please leave me alone.” Miguel muttered lowly.
” Do you need help, you don’t seem fine.” Claire said.
” Leave me alone.” Miguel muttered again.
Claire touched his forehead to check his temperature.
” Your temperature is perfectly fine, why are you being moody.”
” Didn’t you heard me when I said leave me alone!!! Don’t you understand privacy. Let me be, is that too hard!!” Miguel half yelled this time and Claire flinched.
Students’ eyes turned to them and they kept staring at them.
” Would y’all mind your fvcking business.” Claire said to them and they took their eyes off.
” Would you mind doing the same for me? Leave me alone, I won’t repeat. Stop trying so hard.” Miguel said lowly and Claire bit her lips.
” Fine, I’ll leave. But I’ll surely come back, get some rest and take care of yourself.” Claire said standing up but Miguel didn’t respond.
Miguel closed his eyes back and Claire look at him one more time. The lecturer chose the moment to walk in. George didn’t bother coming to class, Miguel didn’t even open his eyes. He placed his head on the table and closed his eyes throughout the class.
” Stop trying so hard as he said Claire.” Claire’s friend, Cindy said.
” Shut up, class is going on.” Her second friend, Elena said.
Claire didn’t even reply them, she looked at Miguel once more before focusing on the lecturer.
Library •
Kaylee was too short to reach a book, but she kept trying anyways.
” Gosh, it’s so high.” She muttered. Then, a hand took it for her.
She looked back to see an unfamiliar guy.
” Umm, thanks.” She said collecting the book and she walked pass him but he followed.
” Hi, my name is Kingston, yours?” The guy, Kingston said.
” Kaylee.” She replied taking a seat and he sat down too confusing Kaylee.
” A cute name for a cute and pretty girl.” Kingston said and Kaylee didn’t know when she blushed.
Yeah, any girl is bound to blush. Not when no one really interact with her and now complimenting her, she really need to blush.
” Thanks.” She replied.
She then looked around for someone, then something struck her mind.
Oh, he is not even here. How could I have forgotten.* She said inwardly and bit her lips.
” Hey, don’t do that again.” Kingston said and Kaylee looked at him.”
” Huh?”
” Nevermind.” He said and Kaylee blinked.
” You’re so cute.” Kingston said and Kaylee smiled.
” Thank you.” She replied.
” So what department?” Kingston asked.
” First level, English.” She replied and he smiled.
” Third level, Law.” Kingston said and she nodded.
” Wow, that’s nice.”
Like that they started interacting with each other. Unknown to them, someone took a picture of them and smirk.
FIRST LEVEL CLASS •
Monalisa and Tiana were both discussing with each other then Tiana asked a question.
” Have you seen Miguel today?”
” Oh, no. I haven’t, he must be having a class.” Monalisa replied.
” Thank goodness, Alvin isn’t here. The school seems peaceful.” Tiana said and her mind went to Jayden but she shrugged it off.
Ramona looked at them and looked away almost immediately Lisa’s eyes caught with her.
” She had been quiet nowadays, I wonder why.” Lisa said and Tiana nodded.
” She realized she can’t keep competing with you.” Tiana said and smiled.
Somehow Lisa kept thinking about it. Suddenly they heard screams and yells outside. They all troop out to see.
Alvin and his friends got down from the bus together with their coach. In Jayden’s hand was the Basketball Award cup.
👥: oh my, they really won.
👥: the triple diamonds are the best.
👥: knew they were going to win the competition.
👥: they looked hot though.
The students said among each other. The coach then lead the way to the provost’s office where the award was submitted and the provost congratulate and encourage the boys.
” Congratulations to us for winning once again, I put my trust in you three.” The provost said and they bowed.
The announcement speaker spoke and anyone walking stood to hear what they had to stay.
🗣️: congratulations to Crestwood college on winning the award and congratulations to the boys. In order to celebrate another win as we do every year, a party will be host. Date and Time will be known afterwards.
The announcement speaker ended and everyone cheered.
George stood by the rooftop rails looking at the students downwards and how they cheered to the announcement.
He walked back to the chair, he had been there all day. He doesn’t want to think of how Miguel look at him now.
His thoughts was invaded when the door burst open, George looked back and behold it’s Miguel. George stood up slowly.
” Am giving you the chance to explain whatever you want to say, be quick or I leave.” Miguel said sitting down and George smiled.
” I was walking on my own one year ago……”
Flashback~ One year ago •
Poor George was walking alone on a hot sunny afternoon. Yes, George was poor and didn’t had nothing. He has only a younger brother whom he had to take care of.
Suddenly a car pull over beside him and the door opened, the driver came out to him.
” Get in, my boss want to see you.” The driver said.
” Why should I?” George said.
” Who knows, this may change your entire life and your brother.”
Hearing that, George immediately followed him into the car where he met Mr Knight, Miguel’s Dad.
” Hello sir.” George said, even though he looked scared.
” I have a job for you and for that I will offer you enough money which can change your life and your younger brother.” Mr Knight said and George’s eyes widened. He then struck him that he is Daniel Knight, the famous business man.
” But.. but why me?” George had to ask.
” I have been noticing you for a while and I know you do come here almost everyday in search of food. I did a background check and it was found that, you have no parents and your younger brother was only left of you. I realize you would be perfect to do my job, if you really need money to help your brother. If not for you, at least think about your younger brother who hasn’t eaten today and craving for food.” Mr Knight said and George’s eyes widened.
He really looked through his background.
” I’ll do it, tell me what I need to do.” George said and Mr Knight smirk.
” We will have to change somethings about you and you need to get to new york before Miguel does, as soon as he reach there. Trail him and check which college he goes to, I’ll help with the admission into the same college. Befriend him first and don’t you dare let him notice any foul play cause he is smart. And then inform me of his every single step.” Mr Knight said.
And that was how everything else happened, how he befriended him on his first day. He then informed Mr Knight about Lisa and everything else. He was even the one that rendered Lisa unconscious that day and took her to Mr Knight.
Flashback End•
Miguel just couldn’t believe his ears, he didn’t even know when tears trickled down his face.
” It’s really you.” He muttered.
” Am sorry Miguel, I had no choice. Am really sorry.” He even joined him in crying.
Chapter 35 & 36 : Miguel and Monalisa’s Growing Bond
Miguel wiped off his tears and stood up facing George. George also stood up and await for Miguel’s judgement, staring at him in the eyes.
” I really think it’s not entirely your fault, where is your younger brother now?” Miguel asked.
” He is still in Paris.” George answered.
” Is he doing okay?”
” Yes, Mr Knight take care of him and I call him everyday.” George said and Miguel scoffed.
There was a little bit of silence before Miguel chose to break it.
” I forgive you.” Miguel said and George look at him with teary eyes.
” Really?” He asked and Miguel nodded.
He immediately pull him into a tight hug and Miguel smiled, patting his back.
” Am sorry once again, I really am.” George said.
” It’s fine, I forgive you.” Miguel said as George break the hug.
” You don’t hate me any longer?” George asked looking cute and Miguel chuckled.
” I never did, I was just shocked and a little bit angry.” Miguel said and George brought down his head.
” You should be.” He muttered.
” Hey, it’s fine. It’s okay, you are the first person that makes me feel like I have a real friend nevertheless, am really grateful towards you for those time.” Miguel said and George smiled.
” Thank you.” George said.
” You didn’t come to class today, why?” Miguel asked.
” I was too scared to face you, I wondered how you would look at me now but hearing those words make me happy.” George said.
” I couldn’t even concentrate in class, I slept throughout. Maybe because you weren’t there to keep my company and tell me those funny jokes you always say during lectures.” Miguel said and they both chuckled.
” Do you plan on going back now to see your younger brother?” Miguel asked.
” No, I don’t even have the money to travel back to Paris. But it’s fine anyways, am saving up money to go meet my brother.” George said and Miguel sigh.
” It will be fine, let’s go to the cafeteria. Am extremely hungry.” Miguel said and George nodded carrying his backpack but Miguel collected from him.
George protested to collect it back but Miguel didn’t hand it over.
They were on their way to the cafeteria when Miguel heard his name from both sides, he faced one and saw Monalisa and Tiana, on the other side is Claire.
He rolled his eyes at Claire and faced Monalisa who started walking to him. Claire clenched her fist and walk away angrily cussing Lisa inwardly.
” Hi Miguel, I haven’t seen you all day. I was getting worried.” Monalisa said and Miguel chuckled.
” Why? Cause you missed me?” Miguel said. Tiana smiled secretly, looking at Lisa who was trying to hide her blush.
” Stop saying nonsense, why will I miss you.” Lisa said and Miguel nodded.
” You better don’t.” He said and Lisa’s face dropped.
What does he mean by that. She shaked it off her mind anyways.
” Are you heading to the cafeteria?” Tiana asked breaking the awkward moments.
” Yes.” George answered.
” Then let’s go together.” Tiana said and they nodded. Lisa kept on a frown which Miguel noticed and he wondered why.
Lisa’s hand touched the door knob wanting to open it but at the same time, a hand touched it also making it land on Lisa’s hand.
It’s Alvin. He smiled immediately holding onto her hand more which Lisa didn’t try to remove.
” Hi Lisa, it’s been a while.” Alvin said smiling.
” Congratulations to you guys on winning the award, congratulations Alvin.” Lisa smiled and both Alvin and Miguel looked surprised. Including their friends.
” Thank you Mi Amor.” Alvin said and Miguel frowned.
” Hey, how could you call her that.” Miguel blurt out and Lisa faced him.
” And why are you concerned about that? Cause you shouldn’t be.” Lisa said, she removed her hand from Alvin’s entering the cafeteria without sparing anyone a glance.
” Isn’t she acting weird.” Tiana stated and entered too.
” See, I think Lisa is finally noticing me.” Alvin said smiling sheepily at Miguel and he scoffed.
” Keep dreaming.” Miguel said walking into the cafeteria too and George followed.
” You guys drama doesn’t want to end at all.” Jayden said as they all entered. Kelvin isn’t with them though.
Miguel and George sat on a different table with Miguel glancing at Lisa every now and then but she wasn’t looking at him. Concentrating so hard on both her food and her phone.
LIBRARY •
Kelvin entered the library looking so furious as he spotted the guy in the picture someone sent to him.
He angrily walked over to the guy and it’s turns out to be Kingston, he dragged him up by his collar confusing Kingston.
He had never really tried to involve himself with the triple diamonds or any other famous people in this college but it’s seems the story is changing now.
” Hey, why did you drag me like that.” Kingston said jerking off his collar.
” Where is she?” Kelvin asked.
” Where’s who?” Kingston asked back.
” Where is Kaylee?”
” She had to rushed back home for something.” Kingston replied still confused.
” An warning you, whoever you think you are. Stay the fvck away from Kaylee.” Kelvin said and Kingston chuckled slightly.
” And why should I do that?” Kingston asked and immediately a punch landed on his face as the few students there gasped.
Rosie smiled from where she is.
👥: what has that guy done to Kelvin now
👥: he must have crossed his limits
Kingston wiped the little blood that stained his lips away as he faces Kelvin.
” I should have just return back that punch but something is definitely holding me back.” Kingston said.
” I really don’t care about that, all am saying is stay miles away from Kaylee, you won’t like my next action.” Kelvin said and started walking out. Kingston scoffed after him, taking back his seat.
Rosie and her minions immediately followed him. Rosie stopped him midway.
” Did you react based on the picture I sent you, see Kaylee isn’t as innocent as she claims to be.” Rosie said as Kelvin shot her glare.
” Say that about Kaylee one more time, and I promise you, you won’t be able to say another word from that same mouth.” Kelvin said and walk out on her.
” Aiish, damn that silly girl.” Rosie stumped her feet angrily as her friends tried to calm her down.
” We are going to Alvin’s party tomorrow right? Why don’t you think of something.” One of her friends said and Rosie raised her brows.
Next Day~ Alvin’s family mansion •
The mansion was decorated per Alvin’s choice, but it was looking so radiant and glittering.
Tables and chairs were arranged in twos or threes, with some kinds of wine on each table with some snacks. A glass of wine each students’ hands.
The party theme colour is; Red, White and Gold. You can wear any of them. A big picture of Alvin on big banner stood gallantly at the wall.
” Hey man, happy birthday.” Kelvin and Jayden said to him as they hugged.
” Thanks dudes.” He replied them. They’re all in red suit.
Alvin spotted Miguel’s arrival and smirk. Miguel was in a white suit and trouser with a black tie. His hair was neatly combed. No doubt, he is looking so hot and breathtaking.
Everyone eyes turned to him and they started murmuring and smiling at him. Alvin frowned before he walked up to him.
” Happy birthday.” Miguel said to him and Alvin smiled.
” Thanks and thanks for coming.”
Ramona and Barbie arrived next, both of them was looking gorgeous but Ramona was just too different.
She was putting on red gown that was slit from her laps downwards, with some kinds of diamonds stones on the dress. The dress fitted her so perfectly, her hair packed up with flowers at the back.
While Barbie was putting on a short white gown that fitted her body with a butterfly design on it, her makeup looking so bright and pretty.
👥: wow, they’re looking so gorgeous
👥: Ramona is definitely making heads turned
👥: she is really pretty.
The students admired them both including Miguel, but all mouth was dropped when Monalisa and Tiana walked in graciously. Miguel couldn’t close his mouth same with Alvin.
Tiana wore a short white skirt matching together with her shirt which was long sleeved but the skirt stopped at her knee and it hugged her hips tight, her packed to the back but she left some strands. She looked perfect.
Monalisa was in a hourglass gold dress with her hair down, the hourglass dress hugged her body so well bringing out necessary curves. Her make-up wasn’t left out, she is absolute pretty.
The students jaw dropped and Jayden coughed out the wine in his mouth. Alvin’s glass dropped while Miguel couldn’t just close his mouth as his eyes was transfixed on Monalisa.
“Damn!!!!!”
