Chapter 37 & 38 : Trying to Win Monalisa’s Heart
The students’ mouth were hung agape, unable to close it. Closely looking at the girls who just entered. Rosie and her minions also arrived.
Pretty girls everywhere.
” Oh oh, is Lisa and Tiana trying to steal the attention meant for me.” Alvin teased and some of the students chuckled.
” Happy birthday.” Ramona and Barbie said in unison.
” Thank you.” Alvin said and smiled.
He started walking to Lisa and he stretch out his hand which Lisa took.
Tiana glared at her insinuating ‘ what are you doing ‘ but Lisa didn’t oblige.
” Happy birthday Alvin.” Tiana said and he smiled at her which she faked in return.
” Enjoy the party guys, it’s just getting started. DJ, some music please.” Alvin said as the DJ play on a music and the students began vibing and dancing to it. Enjoying themselves.
Some on the dance floor, while some were dancing from where they are. Infact, some were even making out while some were gisting.
Miguel frowned as he watch the back of Lisa and Alvin as they left to another part of the mansion.
” I don’t really understand what’s going on again.” He muttered but Tiana who walking towards him heard what he said.
” I don’t either, Lisa is acting strange.” She said and Miguel faced her.
” You look absolutely pretty tonight, no doubt.” Miguel complimented and Tiana smiled.
” And you also look hot.” She said in return and they both smiled.
” You should try to talk to Lisa when you have the chance. She’s acting weird towards you.” Tiana said.
” I’ll try.” He said.
” Let’s hit the dance floor, are you in?” Tiana said happily.
” Nah, am not in the mood.” Miguel refused and Tiana faked a frown.
” Please.. just for some minutes, keep yourself busy will you.” Tiana said.
” I appreciate but…”
” Please?” She said again and Miguel sigh out.
” You’re a stubborn kind of girl, didn’t know.” Miguel said and smiled.
” That’s a yes, then let’s go. And as for me being stubborn, people close to me do say that. Now let’s go.” She said as she held his hand but someone stood in their way. Jayden.
” Hey Tee.” Jayden said and Tiana rolled her eyes, before she frowned.
” Move.” Tiana said but he didn’t oblige.
Miguel immediately remove his hand from her hand, sensing somethings between them.
” Dance with me, please.” Jayden said
” I already has a partner.” Tiana said and look at Miguel, who nodded in return.
Jayden’s eyes burn with jealousy.
” So move.” Tiana said and Jayden simply step out of the way. Miguel walked to the dance floor with Tiana afterwards.
They were really hitting the dancefloor, outsmarting everyone else. They really danced like a couple, some people even stopped to look even the ones dancing. Only a guy and a girl stayed, they seem like a couple also.
” Wanna compete?” Tiana smirk as she said to the opposing opponent.
” Let’s do it.” The girl said.
” Can you really dance, they don’t seem to be gentle.” Tiana asked.
” Let’s go for it.” Miguel assured and she nodded.
” Take heart bro, I feel your pain.” Kelvin patted Jayden’s shoulder as Jayden shot him a glare and Kelvin shrugged.
” But they’re really dancing like a real couple, this is mad.” Kelvin said again but Jayden’s eyes were on the dance floor, gazing at them.
The competition started as the students cheered them on.
Kaylee was walking besides the swimming pool, watching the bright light coming from the pool.
Yeah, she was invited thanks to Kelvin. She was on the list.
She squatted besides the pool staring at the people who were laughing and chit chatting among each other, in and out of the main hall.
But who does she want to talk or mingle with. No one.
She was still thinking when she felt someone’s presence beside her. She looked there and saw Kingston, who also squat like her.
” King, you’re here?” Kaylee said happily as she stood up straight.
Kingston chuckled at the short name she gave him and how happy she is. She’s really looking pretty and cute despite her simple look.
She was just wearing a floral white gown with flower design on every single side of it. Her hair was just down but she used an hair clip for the side of her hair. A light and simple makeup moulded on her face. She is pretty and cute.
Kingston smiled while he admired her. He stood up already.
” Yes, I just saw that am on the list. Probably by Jayden or Alvin cause I know Kelvin wouldn’t do so.” Kingston said and Kaylee furrowed her brow.
” Why wouldn’t he, you guys don’t have any beef against each other.” Kaylee said and Kingston chuckled.
” We don’t have a beef with each other, we are fine. We haven’t even talked together less alone having a misunderstanding.” Kingston said and Kaylee smiled. Though she’s still confused but she shaked it off her mind.
” Okay, walk along with me. Am kinda bored.” Kaylee said.
” Let’s go to the bar counter, get something to drink.” Kingston said and Kaylee shook her head.
” No, I don’t drink.” Kaylee refused and Kingston chuckled.
” Common, just a glass.” Kingston said.
” Common.” He started dragging her along till someone held the other hand.
They stopped and they came in view with Kelvin’s angry face.
” Didn’t I warn you huh.” Kelvin said in a low tone. Trying not to cause distraction.
” What do you mean?” Kaylee asked looking from Kelvin to Kingston.
” Stay out of it Kaylee…. Are you ready to receive another punch huh?” Kelvin said.
” Punch? Don’t tell me you guys had a fight, you punched him Kelvin?” Kaylee asked.
” Yes he did.” Kingston muttered and Kaylee look at him.
” You told me you guys have never talked to each other less alone have a misunderstanding, what’s going on King.” Kaylee said and Kelvin frowned.
” King? You dare shorten his name.” Kelvin half yelled.
” Don’t yell at her.” Kingston half yelled back.
” Are you trying to turn our back against each other, am warning you stay away from Kaylee.” Kelvin said as he pulled Kaylee to his side.
Angry Kaylee pulled away from Kelvin immediately.
” Stop it, stop it guys.”
” I don’t understand you Kelvin, why are you telling him to stay away from me, why are you being protective. Overprotective infact, we are nothing right and King is just my friend. Please leave us alone.” Kaylee said and took Kingston’s hand going inside the Main hall… The bar counter to be precise.
BACK TO THE HALL~ DANCEFLOOR •
The dance already ended and the people looking were asked to choose the winner and almost everyone chose Tiana and Miguel.
They really danced so well, returning the same energy and matching the same footsteps confusing everyone whether they’re a thing.
They returned back to their spot and there they met Monalisa.
” Nice dance you two did there.” She said and Tiana went closer to her.
” Thanks bestie. Didn’t know Miguel could actually dance that way.” Tiana said and Miguel smiled.
” It’s my pleasure.”
” Hey Mona.” Miguel said and Lisa slowly look at him.
“I’ll excuse you guys.” Tiana said and she left.
Then Alvin made an announcement.
” Get ready everyone, 50minutes more for the pool party. Keep enjoying yourself guys.” He said and everyone shouted happily. ‘ We love you Alvin’ filled the air.
” Mona, you have been avoiding me. What’s going on.” Miguel said looking concerned.
” Am angry with you.” Lisa said and look away.
” Am sorry, if it is because of how I reacted yesterday then am sorry.” Miguel said and she looked at him.
” Really, you acted somehow and that made me angry.” Monalisa said.
“Am sorry okay? Am I forgiven?” He asked and she smiled making him smile also.
” Yes.” She smiled and Miguel didn’t know when she hugged him.
He froze for a minute before reciprocating it, hugging her by the waist. He smiled.
” Why did you go with Alvin the other time and what did you guys talked about.” He asked and they broke the hug.
” I did go with him to make you angry and for what we talked about, we didn’t get to say anything cause Ramona interrupted. We did had a small fight there but what am confused with is what Alvin and Ramona were both talking about.” Lisa said..
” Really, it shouldn’t bother you… anyways, you look gorgeous. So pretty, and I love your dress.” Miguel complimented and Lisa didn’t know when she blushed.
” Thanks and you are not bad yourself. Hot basketball player.” Lisa said as they both chuckled.
They continued talking afterwards.
Everyone was enjoying the party obviously as swans of girls surrounded Alvin, the birthday celebrant as they tried to take some picture with him while some were asking for a night stand.
Foolish.
The ambience of the party looking so cool as everywhere was bustling with lights from different corners and the playing music from the speakers.
It was fun.
Miguel and Monalisa excused themselves to a secluded place though. They wanted to find some peace alone with reasons not even known to them.
” Why did you bring me here?” They said in unison and they also laughed to their words.
” Am sorry Miguel.” Lisa said and Miguel furrowed his brow.
” Why, for what?” He asked.
” On our first meeting, it was really not a good one. I apologise for my behavior.” Lisa said sincerely.
” Even though I later knew you weren’t someone like that, it’s fine and am sorry too.” Miguel said and they hugged again.
Seems hugging is their new thing. In their mind, they kept wondering when and how did they get this close.
Or it is something else. They don’t have that idea but they’re really comfortable with each other.
Ramona interrupted their privacy.
” Miguel, I would like to show you something.” Ramona said immediately she sighted them after searching for them all through.
Miguel looked confused though, even Lisa. Ramona just talk to them, after all these days.
” Really, you already ended your distancy with us?” Miguel asked and Ramona chuckled.
” I wasn’t distancing myself, I was trying to keep myself some times to think. But will you follow me quick.” Ramona asked and Miguel looked at Lisa who signalled for him to go
They didn’t go faraway though, they were a bit close. Unknown to Lisa, Ramona gave Miguel an ear pod.
” Why are you giving me this.” He asked.
” Put it in your ear, want you to hear something.” Ramona said and he insert it in his ear.
But the loud music coming from it made him remove it again
” Common, the music is too loud.” Miguel said but Ramona insisted.
” Common just for two minutes, please.” Ramona pleaded and Miguel nodded.
Inserting it back in his ear as the blazing music hit his ear again but he held it in though just for her… just for RAMONA.
On the other hand, Lisa was still there waiting for Miguel when three guys appeared before her.
” Who are you?” She asked, they weren’t looking nice and she was kinda scared.
” Follow us now.” One of them threatened holding her hand.
” Let me go, let go.” Lisa said but they didn’t let her go pulling her away slowly.
” Miguel, Miguel!!! Please save me, Miguel!!” She called but Miguel didn’t turn.
” Miguel!!” She yelled again but Miguel didn’t respond.
She couldn’t believe, isn’t this guy just in her front. She is being pulled away into trouble. Please turn, please.
Lisa’s hope shattered when Miguel didn’t turn. No one was there to help her, they were in a secluded place.
She was finally dragged away by the guys.
Chapter 39 & 40 : Facing College Bullies Together
Ramona finally remove the earpod from his ear and Miguel breathe in relief.
” Thank goodness.” Miguel muttered rubbing his ear.
” Thank you.” Ramona said and smiled.
” It’s fine, let’s go now.” Miguel turned but couldn’t find Lisa. He wore on a puzzled look.
” Where did she go.” He muttered. Ramona came to his side.
” She must have gone back inside, let’s go to find out.” Ramona said and Miguel nodded.
He started walking while Ramona walk behind with a smile or a smirk on her face.
Miguel got back into the party and search around for her but couldn’t find her. Somehow Ramona managed to get him involved into a discussion.
” Leave me, let go of me.” Lisa yelled once again when they got to one of the restroom in the mansion.
She started shifting back slowly, scared. She became more scared when one of them locked the door.
” What… what are you trying to do? Open that door now!” She said fearfully but tried to hide it
” Why don’t we play a game huh? We are alone.” The first guy said.
” What… what game, am not interested.” Lisa said wanting to walk pass them but got dragged back.
One of them secretly unlocked the door.
” Are you trying to act smart huh, hold her down now!” The second guy said and the third guy went to hold Lisa.
” No no, someone help!!” Lisa yelled when he saw the first guy unzip his trouser.
Lisa closed her eyes while still yelling.
The guys laughed evilly as Lisa could only cry and yell.
Suddenly, the door flung open as someone barged in.
” How dare you huh!!” The person yelled.
Lisa slowly open her eyes, she recognize that voice.
Alvin!!
She opened her eyes slowly only to see Alvin already beating the guys up.
” How dare you…how dare you touch her!!!” He yelled while hitting the three at once.
The guys fearfully ran out of the restroom and Lisa burst into tears.
Alvin immediately rushed to her and carried her in a bridal style.
Lisa buried her head in his chest still scared, tears flowing from her eyes as she held unto Alvin.
Alvin carried her out of the restroom directly to his room. He sent for one of the maids.
” Take perfect care of her, stay with her while am not here else consider yourself gone from this house.” Alvin said and the maid bowed.
Lisa held Alvin’s hand stopping him and Alvin faced her.
” Th… thank you.” Lisa muttered and Alvin smiled, caressing her hair.
” Take care Lisa, and will you able to continue the party? You should get some rest.” Alvin said.
” I will continue, I must celebrate your birthday with you Alvin. I will come for the pool party.” Lisa said and Alvin smiled more.
” You should rest for a while for a while, the pool party is still in a while. I will come for you when it’s time but for now, rest well.” Alvin smiled and Lisa nodded.
Alvin left for the door with a smirk on his face till he finally left the door.
A sad expression on Lisa’s face afterwards.
” Miguel.” She muttered.
Back at the party ~ Bar counter •
Kaylee is still with Kingston, she kept refusing the drink Kingston offered her anyways.
She is still very angry with Kelvin’s action earlier.
” Hey Kaylee, what’s wrong?” Kingston asked.
” No… it’s nothing, and you why did you lie about not having any beef with Kelvin. You lied King.” Kaylee said as she faked a frown.
” Am sorry okay, I just didn’t want you to be worried. I didn’t want to get into any business with any of the triple diamonds but it’s clearly the opposite now.” Kingston said.
Kaylee was about talking when Rosie came to them, she is with one of her friends. Dora.
” Hey b!tch, seems you switch guys now. It’s him now?” Rosie said and Kaylee frowned but didn’t say anything.
” Hey, who the hell are you.” Kingston said.
” Seriously, you don’t know me? Well am Kaylee’s tormentor.” Rosie said as both her and Dora laughed.
” Can you please leave?” Kaylee finally said and Rosie faced her.
” How did you even get here, did you seduce one of the guys? You don’t belong here.” Rosie mocked and Kaylee fumed.
” I invited her, anything wrong?” They heard a voice, they faced to see Kelvin with his hand in his pocket.
” Oh..no no, just asking.” Rosie stuttered.
” Then get going.” Kelvin said.
” Do you mind a dance Kelvin?” She asked and Kelvin chuckled.
” Get lost.” Kelvin said again and Rosie frowned.
Sending a glare once more at Rosie before leaving with Dora.
Kaylee faced away when her eyes made contact with Kelvin’s, she ignored his existence. Kelvin scoffed before leaving there.
” Kaylee…”
” Get me something strong to drink King, please.” She asked and Kingston looked at her.
” I thought you don’t drink.” Kingston said.
” I need to now, I need it.” She said and Kingston nodded facing the bar attender.
” Just a glass though.” He said and Kaylee nodded.
She started drinking afterwards but she didn’t stop until she got drunk, Kingston sighed looking at her. She insisted on many glass and now look she’s drunk.
It’s finally time for the pool party and Alvin really went to get Lisa.
They arrived together at the pool. Where many people already are, in their bikinis and shorts respectively.
Some in the pool with drinks in hands, while some standing and some stuffs to each other.
” I didn’t bring anything with me though.” Lisa said and Alvin faced her.
” No problem, let’s go get you a bikini of your choice.” Lisa nodded and they turned to go but was met with Miguel’s angry face.
Claire was with him though, beside him. But Miguel’s face expression was anger and curiosity.
Why on earth is Lisa with Alvin when he had searched everywhere for her?
” Oh Miguel.” Alvin said as Miguel shot him a glare.
Lisa glared hard at him and before she could think of anything else, her palm met with Miguel’s cheek and the students attention was diverted to them.
A slap!!
” You still dare show your face to me, you evil punk.” Monalisa said angrily as the students murmured.
Ramona also came there with Barbie. Already in their bikinis, Ramona in red while Barbie in pink.
They look sexy.
Ramona’s eyes met with Alvin’s and they smirk together.
Miguel raised his head and faced Lisa, a confused look on his face. Staring at fuming Lisa.
” What..what are you talking about?” Miguel said and yet again, she slapped him on his second cheek.
” You still ask me question?” She said again and once again a slap landed on Miguel’s face.
Miguel got confused as he held his two cheeks.
👥: what’s going on.
👥: Lisa slapping Miguel.
👥: Drama is just too much to watch.
The students murmured as phones were brought out. For recording.
” Lisa and Miguel? Or what did I just witness, she slapped him?” Barbie said unbelievably and Ramona smirk.
” Mona!” Miguel said not understanding what’s going on.
” It’s Lisa you punk, Lisa. Don’t you dare call me Mona, you don’t deserve it. You hear me, it’s Lisa!!” Monalisa yelled at him and Miguel was taken aback.
Wow.
” Mona, what’s going. What have I done?” Miguel asked and Lisa scoffed.
” Just now I was searching around for you, only to see you come here with him. Then why this, you left me there.” Miguel said trying to keep his cool.
” I left you there? You still act innocent, I was almost raped you evil punk, all because of you!!!” Lisa yelled and Miguel’s eyes widened.
“What!!” Barbie exclaimed.
👥: Raped?
👥: how is that possible, Lisa.
👥: hope you are fine.
” What… what are you saying, raped? Are you fine, something happened to you?” Miguel asked as he moved closer to Lisa but Lisa shifted back.
” Wow, Miguel you’re such a great actor. What if Alvin hadn’t arrived on time, I hate you.” Lisa said shaking her head.
” Stay away from her Miguel, have had enough of you. It’s your fault, everything is your fault. You were right there when Lisa was dragged away from there. She called out your name but you didn’t turned, you were fvcking there you bastard!!” Alvin yelled at him and Miguel staggered back.
He looked at Ramona who stared at him in return, he shook his head as he left the scene.
He doesn’t know what to say, he couldn’t prove himself. Was this why Ramona came to him? Was it her plan? Mona was almost raped?
Those questions flooded his mind as he left the mansion fully.
” Let’s continue the party guys, something special for you guys…” They continued the party with Lisa besides Alvin every time.
Tiana shaked her head from where she is.
MONDAY ~ CRESTWOOD COLLEGE •
Miguel arrived at the college while eyes fell on him, some murmured and glared at him in anger while some still fancy him, some with pity.
George walked to him when he saw and dejected he look. He couldn’t go to the party cause something came up but he saw the entire thing on the school blog.
What are the school gossipers met for anywhere, everything is on the blog. Including how Lisa slapped Miguel.
” Miguel.” He called and Miguel faced him.
” You believe me don’t you? I will never do that, not to Mona. I will never…”
” I know, I trust you Miguel. Someone is definitely behind it.” George said and Miguel clenched his fist as his mind went to Ramona once again.
” It’s Ramona.” He said and George raised a brow.
” Ramona? How?”
Miguel explained everything to him and George also became angry.
” It’s definitely her, but why?” George said.
” I will have to find out that from her. I really regret going to that party.” Miguel said.
George patted his shoulder. Miguel then sighted Ramona and Barbie passing by the classrooms and immediately began walking towards her.
” Ramona…we need to talk.” He said immediately he got to her.
” What?” Ramona asked.
” Why did you do that, why!!” He yelled and Barbie flinched. She immediately moved away.
” Why suspect me?” Ramona asked still feigning innocence.
” Stop acting innocent, you came to me in purpose. Giving me the earpod with loud music coming from it so I wouldn’t hear Lisa asking for me while calling my name. It’s all your fault.” He half yelled.
” Yes, yes I did it. You already are in love with Lisa, Miguel and I won’t allow it. Never.” Ramona yelled back and Miguel stared at her.
” What?”
” I won’t let you be with her Miguel, she doesn’t deserve you. I do, only me and I won’t stop, I will continue. You might continue lying to yourself but you’re already head over heels for Lisa, I know but you two won’t be together. I won’t allow it.” Ramona said as she left him. Barbie immediately followed.
Miguel stared into nothing.
” What!!” He said and everything became clear to him.
” You shouldn’t allow her do that Miguel, but she is right about one thing. You’re in love with Lisa.” George said walking towards him and Miguel gulped.
Am I really in love with Mona? He questioned himself.
” But you shouldn’t allow them win Miguel, fight for your love and expose both Ramona and Alvin. It’s both of them.” George said and Miguel look at him. George nodded.
Lisa finally arrived but in Alvin’s car. The students gathered there as they watched them walk hands in hands beside each other.
Miguel started walking towards them and stood in front of Lisa, staring at her.
” What are you doing here again Miguel, get lost.” Alvin said as Lisa looked away.
But Miguel wasn’t hearing anything, the only thing on his head and mind is this girl in front of him. His Mona, Monalisa.
He suddenly grabbed Lisa by the waist, slamming his lips on hers as Lisa’s eyes were wide opened in shock.
Alvin stared at the scene in shock including the students. George smiled.
” What!!!” The students exclaimed.
Chapter 41 & 42 : Breaking Down Walls
Miguel kissed her, he fvcking kiss Monalisa. Monalisa’s eyes were wide opened trying to grab what’s going on.
Ramona clenched her fist where she is, she grabbed the cup of smoothie in Barbie’s hand and smashed it on the floor in anger.
Kaylee who was entering with a serious hangover from the heavy drinks she drank yesterday, stopped at the scene in front of her. Including Kelvin, Jayden and Claire.
Miguel finally broke the kiss and they both stared at each other.
” Believe me Mona, I would never do that. I love you a lot, a great deal of.” Miguel confessed as the students’ eyes widened.
” Hey you middle class brat, how dare you!!” Alvin barked as he grabbed Miguel’s collar making him leave Lisa.
” What, are you going to yell at me. Do that, but am saying it right now in front of everyone. I love Monalisa, and there’s nothing you can do to that.” Miguel said and Alvin fumed the more.
” She doesn’t love you, you bastard!!” Alvin shouted and raised his hand to throw a punch on Miguel’s face but Lisa’s voice stopped him.
” Bring that hand down.” She said with an authoritative voice.
Alvin immediately stopped mid air and look at Lisa who was also throwing a dangerous glare at him.
” Lisa….”
Alvin was cut short with a loud slap on his cheek by Monalisa.
👥: now what’s going on.
👥: why did she slap him.
👥: confused.
” You think I don’t know. The both of you schemed against me. I know everything.” Lisa said pointing towards Ramona’s direction who’s eyes were wide opened. She started moving closer to them.
” What.. what are you saying Lisa.” Alvin said and Lisa scoffed.
Even Miguel is confused.
” You and Ramona planned against Miguel, to turn our back against each other. I already found out your truth Alvin. How on earth did you know that Miguel was there when I was being carried away, how did you know he was at the same place but didn’t turn when you weren’t there and don’t know anything. And I also saw you and her smirk at each other. Then I decided to find out the whole thing..”
FLASHBACK •
After Miguel left the party, Lisa decided to clear her suspicion. The pool party started as everyone attention was already diverted, enjoying each other.
Alvin stayed with Lisa, engaging her in a useless discussion. He suddenly got called by his friends and he had to leave there but he left his phone behind.
She reminisced about Ramona interrupting both her and Alvin the other time and decided to check Alvin’s phone for any prove
But password was required, a pin.
” Pin? What could it be.. what, what?” She mumbled.
She tried his name, but it didn’t work. She tried his date of birth but didn’t work. He doesn’t have a sibling and she doesn’t know his parents own.
” My name?” She tried Monalisa and Lisa but it’s didn’t work.
” What! Why is it so hard?” She groaned.
” Maybe my date of birth?” She said and tried it.
” It worked, yes!! How on earth did he knows my date of birth.” She said as she immediately went to his message first.
He saw Ramona’s there and checked the content. Ramona sent a message indicating, she already done on her own part by distracting Miguel, it is his turn.
” Really, Great.” She said as she forwarded the message to her number and deleted the notification and immediately dropped it.
Alvin came back almost immediately as she faked a smile.
FLASHBACK ENDS•
Monalisa showed him the prove of their message in his face when she was done.
” I decided to play along with you. How dare you!!” Lisa said as she gave him a resounding slap.
” You sent someone to forcefully take me away and Ramona too had to distract Miguel, so as you could come and save me and then I misunderstand Miguel and get more closer to you right? Am sorry but that plan won’t work.” She said as she slapped him again.
” Lisa!!” Alvin yelled at her and she stopped immediately.
” Don’t you tell at her you fool.” Miguel said as she turn Alvin to him swiftly and gave him a punch making him bleed. Jayden and Kelvin immediately rushed to him.
” You were behind it, what if she was really raped. I won’t spare you.” Miguel half yelled as he continued punching him. Jayden and Kelvin decided to keep away.
🗣️: What’s going on there, all of you report to my office now!!
The provost’s voice came in the announcement speaker so loud and Miguel had to stop. They all moved to his office while some students scram off from the scene.
Alvin really embarrassed himself, how could he do that. That was on the school blog with the video as every students reacted.
After some minutes •
They finally left the provost’s office after the judgement has been made.
They left separately to their various classes per the provost’s instruction.
“B*tch.” Lisa said immediately they got to their class.
” Like Ramona, how could you stoop so low. I thought you were more than that, really.” Tiana said and Ramona shot her a glare.
” It’s best if you mind your stinking business and don’t mend in my matter.” Ramona said and Tiana scoffed.
” Listen to me Ramona, I won’t let you accomplish your goal. Miguel loves me and that feeling is mutual, I love him too. It will be better if you back off, he will never come for you. He’s mine alone.” With that said, Lisa went to her seat.
Ramona glared daggers at her, the professor came in and they had to settle down for class.
The Triple Diamonds Suite •
Alvin entered together with Jayden and Kelvin. They all sat down without saying a word.
Kelvin’s scoff interrupted the silence.
” Wait Alvin, would you really go that far?” Jayden said.
” Yes, if it is about Lisa. I will and will go really far to get her.” Alvin declared and his friends shaked their head.
” Alvin, get rid of your obsession. You could see Lisa earlier, the hatred in her eyes for you. She will never be yours, accept the truth and for the fact that you did something so terrible, it has really gone far.” Jayden said and Alvin furiously stood up and grabbed his collar.
” Say that one more time and be ready to see my wrath.” Alvin said and furious Kelvin also stood up and punch him making him leave Jayden.
” Alvin, get control of yourself. We are your friends and we have to tell you the truth. What you did was terrible and that’s why we didn’t bother helping you when Miguel was dealing with you. You deserve it and more, get a hold of yourself dude. We will be here for you if you’re back to your senses but for now let’s maintain our distance.” Kelvin said and Jayden scoffed at him.
They left him and went to their rooms.
Alvin clenched his fist and stared at nothing in particular with anger.
Three Days Later •
It’s been three days now, Alvin and his friends haven’t made up. They kept avoiding him even though they live under the same roof.
The Party for the basketball game success already happened. Tiana and Jayden left for California already.
Monalisa and Miguel haven’t talked to each other for the past three days now. Lisa was avoiding him.
” Stop looking at her and go meet her.” George said besides him as they were looking at Lisa and Tiana who were besides one of the classes.
” I don’t know why she’s avoiding me again, did I do something wrong.” Miguel muttered and George smiled.
” You wouldn’t know if you don’t speak with her lover boy, common go.” George said and Miguel nodded.
He started walking towards her afterwards and when he got there, Lisa looked away and bit her lip.
” Hey Mona.” He said but Lisa didn’t respond.
” Why are you avoiding me again, did I do something wrong? Am sorry if I had.” Miguel muttered and Lisa looked at him.
Tiana smiled looking at the two of them.
” No you didn’t, am just feeling guilty. I slapped you thrice that day, I don’t deserve to be forgiven that easily. Am a bad person.” Lisa said and Miguel chuckled.
” No you’re not Mona, I understand why you did it. It’s doesn’t matter at all to me in as much as the matter had been cleared off and you are by my side, then I have no worries.” Miguel said and held her hand.
” Do… do you.. really love me?” Lisa said acting shy.
” Of course, I do. Maybe you don’t feel the same but I…”.
” No, I also…I also feel the same way.” She interrupted him and Miguel stared at her.
” I don’t understand.”
” I love you .” Lisa said shyly as she looked away.
“You..you..” Miguel didn’t even complete his statement when he pulled her in a tight loving hug which she reciprocate.
” You mean a lot to me Mona, maybe it was late before we realize our feelings. It’s better late than never anyways, I love you a lot.” Miguel said and Lisa smiled.
” Awwwwwn.” Tiana gushed. She was recording the whole thing. She immediately left there to God knows where.
Lisa suddenly disengaged from the hug with a worried look.
” But.. your Dad…” She trailed off and Miguel’s expression changed.
” Let’s not talk about him, he doesn’t have a say in my life or what I do. Am not Miguel Knight, am just Miguel.” Miguel said as Lisa stared at him sadly.
” Common let’s go.” Lisa said.
” But where?”
” Somewhere to cheer you up, let’s sneak out of school.” Lisa said and Miguel smiled.
” That would be fun.” He said as they both ran off laughing.
California ~ A Castle •
The whole ambience seems awkward to Tiana. Jayden’s family, his dad, mom, elder sister, his grandmother, his uncle and aunt with their two children, a guy and a girl.
They all sat at the dinning table with different kinds of foods and delicacies on the big and long table.
” So what did you call your name again.” Jayden’s Dad asked.
” Tiana.” She answered, she is somehow scared of his Dad. Especially his grandma and his elder sister who hasn’t talked since, they’re all giving her cold chills.
” And how did you meet our son.” He asked again.
” In..in college.” She replied.
Don’t stammer Tiana, you might be caught she cautioned herself inwardly.
” How long relationship.” His grandmother asked this time and Tiana gulped down nothing.
Jayden who noticed replied for her.
” Can we do this after we finish eating, you have many days to do this please.” He said calming Tiana a bit.
Jayden held her hand under the table, trying to keep her cool.
” She’s going to be our future daughter-in-law, we have to do that.” His mom spoke up this time.
What! Daughter in law! Tiana exclaimed in her head as she stared at them.
” Hey Sister Tiana..” his uncle’s daughter, Ariana called and Tiana faced her.
” You guys must have some good pics you two snapped together right? Can you show it to the both us, we want to see it so badly.” The guy, Ryan said.
Tiana’s eyes widened as she look at Jayden secretly who was also looking at her.
What’s she going to tell them, they don’t have a picture as such.
Oh Tiana, you’re done for!!!
