Episode 6 : Growing Enemies
🌞 Ruby’s POV 🌞
I walked out of the school compound with my shoulder bag, Today classes are over, I’d say we closed sooner than expected.
👥Is she the one.
👥Yeah!!!
👥Heard she slapped Dwayne.
👥Are you serious.
👥She needs to be penalized.
I scoffed on hearing those gossip, I reduced the speed of my walking step, Lemme see who would come and challenge me.
Just then a girl walked to me.
“Hey!! Bitçh why did you slap Dwyane”The girl yelled at me, Like Wow,
who’s Dwyane to the girls, Is he a god, isn’t be a human like them.
“You can go and ask him, Excuse me I’m going home”I snapped and made to walk away but the girl blocked me, I glared at her.
“What’re you gonna do”She smirked,I was about to retaliate when someone drags me away.
I looked to see Troy, We eventually got into his car and drove away.
During the ride I was just quiet not knowing what to say and Troy was frowning, And I felt guilty, he must be angry.
“I’m sorry”I muttered.
“Ruby, You that what you did to Dwyane fetched you alot of enemies, You’re no more in highschool”.
“Lowell College isn’t a play thing, it’s dangerous here In New York Ruby, Just be careful”Troy said to me, I only sighs before nodding.
We got to my house I came down.
“Thanks” I said to Troy.
He only looked at me before he drove off, he must be really pissed off 🥺
My bad.
It’s evening already, Aunty Helena isn’t back from work.
I’ve already done my chores, Right now I’m on my nightie busy pressing my phone on the bed.
I’m actually scrolling on Facebook when I come across a video of my slapping Dwayne.
Must they post it, Geez like some people are really jobless, I clicked the comments button to behold abuses that people where raining on me.
One of the comments reads.
🗣️ Maybe Dwayne refused to f**k her that’s why she slapped him, she’s obviously a bitçh 😒
Like seriously who posted this!!!
My door creaked open and Velma walked in with an unusual broad smile on her face.
Isn’t it weird.
The new Velma I know doesn’t smile, What’s she up to.
I sat up on my bed.
“Well-done sis, You did a great job today,I’m proud of you”Velma said.
Now I’ll say she has finally lost it.
What does she mean.
“What do you mean”I asked with a frowny face, Velma exhales.
Sitting down on my bed with a smile.
This smile, Please what’s she up to?
“I know I acted weird since you came but push that aside, were cool now”Velma said and I nod, Awkwardly.
She smiled at me before walking out, This Velma is something else.
Just then another comment popped up on the video.
🗣️The gal’s a bitçh.
Seriously!!!,This people should ask for explanation before this.
Aw gad!!
❣️Succy’s POV❣️
Geez why did she slapped him, I kinda pity her cos she seems to be New here in New York and Don’t know how things are done in Lowell College (LC)
Actually Starr was the one who uploaded the video on Facebook, Her friend Chelsea ordered her to do so.
I really pity Ruby🥺
“Are you going to serve us our food or do you need medical attention”That’s the voice of a hungry customer.
Like this is 6:30pm shouldn’t they go cook at their own house instead of disturbing someone’s peace.
“What did you say”He yelled.
“Nothing sir I’ll get your order”I said walking into the kitchen when my phone beeped.
My face bloomed it was a message from Drew.
DREW: hey cupcake what’re doing.
ME: Still at the restaurant… younno this night shift stuff.
DREW: Ugh! I’m chilling here with my brother.
ME: Have fun ✨
DREW: When does Night Shift ends.
ME: 9:30pm
DREW: I’ll pick you up then, Stay safe cupcake 💗
ME: OKAY
I smiled before carrying the tray…
🌞 Ruby’s POV 🌞
It’s already late and I can’t sleep, The scene of me slapping Dwayne kept flashing In.
“Argghhh”I groaned, That’s it.
I must apologize to him, Maybe that’ll stop those useless people from raining abuses on me.
Ugh!What I’m I even thinking, Apologize!
How can I stoop so low,
I tried restricting my self but my legs were doing otherwise, Aunty Helena and Velma are already asleep.
I quietly opened the door and went Next Door, I placed a soft knock and the door almost immediately revealing Dwyane with only a towel.
Jesus Christ!!!
I gulped down nothing, feeling strange and awkward.
Forgetting why I came here in the first place.
“I’m sexy right?”He said In a whisper, I only stared at him lustfully.
His chiseled chest were screaming,”Romance me”.
Sh!t what I’m i even thinking.
“What’re doing here”His sexy voice sounded.
Gosh this is pure temptation.
I must overcome it, I took my heels yeah I ran away.
Episode 7 : Awkward Apology
✨ Dwayne’s POV ✨
I only smiled before coming out of the bathroom, I grab my towel and tied it round my waist.
I walked towards the mirror staring at my reflection, I’d say I’m really handsome and irresistibly sexy.
I was still checking out my self when I heard a knock on the door, That’d be Chelsea, I’ve expecting her for the night.
I hurried to the door and Open to see…Ruby!…I frowned what’s she doing here this late.
I smirked when she I noticed that she was couldn’t take her eyes off me, Like i said I’m really sexy.
“I’m sexy right”I said with a smirk but she was still staring like a fool.
“What’re doing here” I asked but the next thing she did shocked me, She ran away.
“Ruby?!”I called, What’s wrong with her.
“Hey Wayne what you doing outside” Came Chelsea’s voice,she has finally arrived.
“Nothing” I replied,My eyes scanning her outfit,she’s wearing a transparent gown that hardly covered her @ss.
“How do I look”She said whole posing Infront of me.
Damn!,This bitçh is sexy, I devoured her lips while pressing her @ss softly.
“Ahh”She mo@ned while breaking the kiss, Staring at me deep in the eyes .
“Lets get in”She whispered pushing me In.
The next morning, I woke up when the sun rays reflected on my face, My eyes slowly opened.
Chelsea had already left to prepare for school.
I stood walking into the bathroom, Let the day begin.
I know you wanna now more about me, okay lemme talk, I’m Dwayne Johnson, A popular bad boy at Lowell College, Yeah I live alone.
I have no relation, In an orphan actually, I grew up at an orphanage home, I don’t know my parent, You must be wandering how I have a surname.
Actually Johnson is also my name I don’t have a surname, I do something I won’t disclose to you for a living 🧐
🌞 Ruby’s POV 🌞
I just hope I don’t come across Dwayne today, I’ll make sure to stay away from him, No matter what, He’s a temptation and a distraction
Geez what I’m i even thinking.
“Hey you seem to be in deep thoughts isn’t it too early for such”Velma said as we both walked into the school compound.
“Nothing I’m just tired”I lied, Or should I tell her my ordeal…
👥Is that gal related to Velma.
👥I doubt.
👥But they seem close.
We ignored them as we continued walking on the noisy corridor,My eyes caught Stare and Chelsea standing lie they were purposely waiting for us, I look at Velma she had a smirk.
“,Hey Bitçh “Chelsea said her hands folded on her br**st, She’s wearing same outfit with Starr.
“You’re the bitçh here not me, so mind your words”Velma snapped,I could tell they’re enemies.
Chelsea directed her gaze to me before looking at Velma.
“Who’s she to you”She asked Velma but Velma smirked.
“Why the interrogation “Velma asked, Exactly what I wanted to ask.
“Will just answer the damn question”Starr yelled, I was standing there like a statue not knowing what to say or do.
,Or should I tell them that Velma us my cousin..
“Just wanted to know if she’s anyway related to you so I can act fast, so tell me Velma who’s she to you”Chelsea repeated.
“She’s just a friend if mine not a tight one though,I’ll explain in detail to you later”Velma said and I gasped.
Like Tf, did she just deny me ..”Are you sure”Starr asked.
“Yes”Velma nodded without even looking at me, Seriously is this happening.
“If I eventually find out that she’s related to you, Younno the consequences right?”Chelsea said an evil smile playing on her lips, I noticed Velma gulped.
What’s going on?
Episode 8 : Denial and Confusion
😁Ruby’s POV 🌞
I walked away leaving them, I can’t hear this trash, Like why is Velma denying me or is she being threatened, What’s really going on.
I walked to Cafe and grabbed some snacks before heading to class.
As usual it was noisy, I found my seat at the front.
Lemme avoid Dwayne and his gang, Speaking of Dwayne I haven’t seen him this morning or is he absent.
I slapped myself.
Why do I care.
The lecturer walked in and teaching began but the class was enjoyable today cos it was calm and peaceful.
I looked around, I couldn’t see Velma, Where’s she?
Not even Starr and Chelsea are here, Dwayne and Damon are also absent.
No wander the class is quiet.
~DARK ASSASSIN’S SECRET CULT~
All heads bowed lightly as a masked figure named Aaron made his to a chair assumed as a throne.
Instantly he sat he lit a cigarette and started smoking, Yeah he’s the leader of this cult.
This is a secret cult group that’s involved in so many illegal activities but they’re specialty is killing, Yes!!!They’re Assassin.
Amongst the members are Velma, Starr, Chelsea,Damon and Dwayne. They’re all dressed in black outfit.
“Quit staring at me bitçh”Chelsea snapped at Velma who only ignored her, Right now she’s in deep thoughts, How’d she be able to tell Ruby all this?, She just hope Ruby believe that she’s doing this for her own good.
“Have you ever wandered who’s behind the mask” Dwyane said to Damon as they both stared at Aaron who was still smoking.
“Its a mystery”Damon said.
“I surely gonna find out your true identity soon”Dwayne thought with a sly smile.
“Damon”Aaron called and Damon stepped forwards.
“About your brother have you made any advances”Aaron asked Damon who remained silent.
“Younno I hate when people ignore me”Aaron said bringing out his pistol.
“I’m sorry Boss but Drew is not chanced these days”Damon said.
“Make sure you tell him, he must get initiated next month or else”He said with a evil smile, Damon only gulped down nothing.
“Speaking of that boss there’s this girl that normally follows Velma and she’s kinda related to her but Velma is denying the fact”Chelsea said loudly and Velma felt her heartbeat accelerating.
“Who’s she Velma”Came Aaron voice.
“Her name’s Ruby she’s just a friend that live with me”Velma said and Aaron smirks finding her attitude suspicious.
Welcome to The cult were is you’re member who has a relative you get he or her initiated.
Episode 9 : Inside the Dark Assassin’s Cult
🌞 Ruby’s POV 🌞
Today being Saturday, I’d be going to the Restaurant were I work part time,Life here in New York is not as easy as people say…
Everyone around me is weird and odd, The first time I came Velma wasn’t nice to me but she apologized afterwards but later on she denied knowing me saying I’m just a friend not even a tight one, Like who does that?
I heaved a sigh before, I got up from my bed I did the necessary cleaning before brushing my teeth and taking my bath, I got in to the living room only to see Velma crying.
“Hey what’s wrong”I asked sitting down beside her,Cos the new Velma I knew was a tough one.
“It’s nothing id be in my room”She snapped walking in, What’s wrong with her?,I exhaled before heading out.
~MAY EATERY~
The taxi halted in front of the Eatery I got down before paying the fare, I walked into the Restaurant Luckily I’m not late, Today is actually my first day working here, I hope it turns out to be good for me.
“You must be Ruby right”I heard a voice, I turned to see a middle aged woman..
“Yes mam good morning”I said with a smile.
“I’m Mrs Nora, I own this eatery good luck on your first day”She said nicely.
“Thanks mam”I said.
“The kitchen is over there”She said and I nod before walking to the kitchen, I got in to meet other workers, dressed in aprons…My co workers actually, Amongst them I only recognized Succy and Starr.
“Good morning Everyone I’m Ruby, I’m new here”I said loudly and I gained her attention.
“I’m Frederick but just call me Fred, Nice to meet you” a guy with brown hairs said, Succy ran and hugged me so tightly, Thank God I didn’t suffocate to death!
“Must you always act like a lunatic”Fred snapped when Succy broke the hug .
“Fred!!!”Succy yelled, I and Fred bursted into laughter.
“Excuse me “Starr said meanly, as she intentionally brushed her shoulder on me even though I wasn’t on her way.
“Watch were you’re going fool”Succy yelled.
“Does she work here”I asked them.
“Yeah her mom owns this restaurant”Fred said.
“You mean mrs Nora” I asked and Fred nod, He was cutting some lettuce.
“But she’s nothing like her mom”I said.
“That’s what people always say”Succy said as we resumed work.
🕔
Few minutes to closing, Right now I and the others are doing the dishes, We’re preparing to close.
Lemme be sincere, Being a waitress ain’t easy✨
“Geez today’s so hectic”I grumbled rinsing the plates.
“Yeah I’m sure I’m gonna sleep for century”,Succy said while stretching.
“We all know you’re the lazy one here, No need to make it obvious”Fred said.
“Fred!!!”Succy yelled as usual, This two are perfect match, Starr has gone home long ago we’re the only ones left.
“Uhmmn Ruby do you have a boyfriend”Succy suddenly asked.
“Rrh…no…why ask?”I replied.
“Nothing just wanted to inform you that I’m already in a relationship with Drew, so I’m not single again show me some respect okay?”Succy said and I only rolled my eye ball, She’s a lunatic right?
I noticed the expression on Fred’s, He only walked out… what’s wrong with him.
“Where’s the waiter!”We heard someone’s voice.
“Fk can’t this people just cook at there house, for fk sake it’s late”Succy grumbled.
“I’ll go take there orders”I said walking out of the kitchen only to see Dwayne and Chelsea, Speaking of that are this two dating..Who cares Ruby just get there orders… Swallow ya pride.
“Good evening, welcome to May Eatery, what would you love to eat”I said, Dwayne was just staring at me.
“Get us some expensive acholic wine and Cigarette”Dwayne said, This is not a club Mr?
“We don’t have those”I said and I began to walk away.
“Nice @ss you gat there”I heard Dwayne’s voice and I froze, Chelsea’s mouth dropped.
Episode 10 : Unexpected Encounter at Work
💗 Chelsea’s POV💗
My mouth dropped.
“Dwyane!!”I yelled right after he made that statement, Does he even realize that I’m here.
“What’s it, it’s just a compliment”He said smiling naughtily, I only glared at the Ruby girl as she walked away.
I picked my bag and walked out furiously.
“F**k you Dwayne”.
🌞 Ruby’s POV 🌞
I woke up really late today, Yeah it’s Sunday and I don’t think I’ll go to church cos I have to visit Troy, Yeah he said I should come and spend time with him today…I’m kind of excited!
I walked out of my room, As usual Aunty Helena and Velma was not around, This two are alike… Younno atimes I normally feel like I live here alone cos I don’t spend time with anyone.
This fact often makes me to remember my mom 🥺
Speaking of her, Lemme call her…It has Been long Right?, I dail her number, it rang but no one picked it…Maybe she has went to church already
I did my usual before I picked my small purse and head out, I flagged a taxi that’ll take me to Troy’s pace.
MAXWELL’S MANSION
The car halted in front of a huge beautiful gate, Ruby came down and paid the cab fare before she head to the gate, Placing a soft knock there
Almost immediately a guy dressed in security uniform opened it.
“Good morning sir I’m here to see Troy I’m a friend of his”She said nicely to the security man, He smiled before letting her in.
A gasped escaped Ruby’s lips when she entered the magnificent compound, Troy never told her that he was this rich,
The security man led her into the living room where he told her to take a seat on one of the couch which Ruby happily did.
She was still busy admiring the things, Everything about the place was sparkling and was screaming wealth!!
“I’m surely gonna marry him”I said to myself smiling like a fool, Speaking of that where’s Troy.
Just then a Madi passed.
“Hey!”Ruby called jovially and the maid walked towards her with a frowny face.
“Please tell Troy I’m here already” She said and the Maid only stared at her from head to toe with a smirk.
“What makes you think I’ll obey you”The maid said, Ruby was surprised by her reply.
“I mean take a good look at yourself, You’re not even master Troy’s type, You’re shapeless and ugly…Just go home, My master won’t be pleased to see you “The maid said to me,
“Lemme just pretend as if I didn’t hear that. just tell Troy that I’m here already”Ruby said trying not to angry cos the certain maid was getting on her never.
“And I won’t “The maid yelled.
“Clara!!!”Came Troy’s voice as he descended the stairs.
“Sir!”The maid turned with a bow pretending like nothing happened.
“Go get the breakfast I’ll eat with her” Troy said and Clara only walks away not after glaring at Ruby hatefully.
Ruby only scoffs, Troy led her into the dinny.
•AN HOUR LATER •
After having that hot breakfast, Troy and Ruby talked about Random things as they laughed in intervals.
“So Ruby can I ask you something”He said in a tone seriousness which made Ruby’s heart skip a beat.
“Go on”She said.
“Will you be my girlfriend “Troy blurted out directly, Ruby gasped.
From an angle Clara can be seen with an angry look, As she balled her fist anger multiplying In her like a volcano that’s about to erupt.
