I woke up to find myself alone in the room
I rubbed my eyes while sitting up on the bed
I glanced at the wall clock, it was 8:00
Oh Max! Why didn’t you wake me
*
I jolted up from the bed and rushed into the bathroom to freshen up
I returned to the room and frowned when I saw Max arranging his books in his bag
Good morning! he greeted while grinning
Why didn’t you wake me? I fired at him
he smirked
Do I look like an Alarm clock?
You are so impossible! I remarked
he slung his backpack across his shoulders and walked out of the room…
*
I dressed hurriedly in the white gown Chase bought for me, grabbed my back pack and headed to the sitting room ….
*
Good morning mom! I greeted my mom who was seated alone in the sitting room
Morning! how was your night? she asked
Fine! …. see you later . I bade and scurried out of the house…..
*
*
I flagged down a taxi and got into it
Delgado music school! I called and the driver nodded before driving off ..
We soon got to the school and the driver parked in front of the huge gate
I paid him off after alighting and dashed into the school compound…..
*
I sighed in relief when I met no teacher in the class
The class was so noisy as almost everyone was talking about Nick ‘s concert
I spotted Loretta seated alone at the back of the class
What is wrong with her? I wondered
I walked towards her
Good morning! I greeted while sitting beside her
She looked at me and sighed
Are you alright? I stared at her
She shook her head
What is wrong? I probed
I really want to go to Nick’s concert but I have no means
I smirked
Is that why you face is so gloomy?
She nodded
What if we go together? You know we can both go over to my house after school . I suggested
She beamed happily
Oh candy! I love it that way
I smiled
*
We hurried to our seats when the teacher walked into the class
Good morning Class! the teacher greeted and soon began teaching
Will Chase be driving us there? Loretta asked in whispers
I nodded
Oh Candy, I really can’t wait
I smiled ………

Kira Montes

I sat on the bed while watching a Nick’s fan show on the television
his fans were all talking about his concert…
Oh I almost forgot about his concert tonight …..
I sighed in frustration
I don’t care about Nick or his concert, all I want is my Chase
Why is it so hard for him to love me? Why?
I picked up my phone from the bed and dialled his number
It rang but he did not pick
What the hell Is wrong!
I dialled it again and he picked on the second ring
hi Chase! I greeted
Kira! how are you? he asked . his voice was hoarse , was he Just waking up?
I am fine
Why the call ,do you have something to tell me?
Erm…erm I just wanted to ask if you would be going to the concert. I stuttered
Yeah. he drawled
Can we go together?
I am sorry Kira that won’t be possible
I gulped
Can we hang around some other time?
Sure. he replied and ended the call…..
I toss my phone to the wall in anger
Why is he always trying to push me away? Why is he always making me cry?
*
*
I put on a robe and headed downstairs
I scoffed when I saw the driver seated alone in the sitting room
Good morning ma’am! he greeted while standing
What are you doing here? Aren’t you suppose to wait outside?
Erm .. your father asked.. erm me to wait here. he stuttered
Why will….. I stooped when a realisation hit me , I was talking to the b***h father
I smirked
So you are the so called father of Candace
he looked startled for some moment, and then composed himself
Did She offend you In anyway?he asked
I laughed
How can a low life like her offend me. I retorted
Then what did she do? he probed
She stole my man from me . I yelled
Who? not my Candy! She can never do that. he defended
I huffed
Do you want to loose your Job?
he stared at me without uttering any word
Do you? I yelled
he shook his head negatively
Good! Then warn your daughter to stay away from Chase. I threatened and walked into the kitchen
Ma’am Kira please don’t don’t be too hard on me . I heard him say
I scoffed
They are just bunch of lowlifes ……

Chase Delgado
*
I sat up on the bed after the call with Kira
I really felt bad declining her request, but there was nothing I could do.
I went through my phone and smiled when I saw a text from Candy
I clicked on it and read it
“Good morning baby! I know you are still sleeping, call me as soon as you read this message..
I dialled her number and she picked it up immediately
Don’t tell me you are just waking . She queried
I chuckled
Is that how to greet?
Oh my bad! Good morning Mr Delgado
I smiled
how are you? Are you in class? I asked rushingly
Sure. the teacher just left the class.
Good! I remarked
Loretta will be riding with us to the concert, is that okay by you?
I smirked
Who is Loretta?
She is my friend, the one you met that day.
Fine! If she is your friend then it is okay by me
Thanks baby. She appreciated
I will be at your place by Six. I informed and ended the call…

At last! Loretta exclaimed as the last teacher of the day walked out of the class
I looked at her and smiled
I shove my books into my bag and she did the same too
Can we go now? She asked while sliding her backpack across her shoulders
Sure.
I was about standing when I felt someone tapped me
I turned to look and met the gaze of barbie
What do you want? I frowned
Erm .. I overheard both of you talking about the concert. Can I tag along?
hell no! I screamed
Why? She pouted
Because I don’t want you too
She glared at me and hissed before leaving …
What a confused soul!
*
*
I flagged a taxi and we both hopped in
“behind diamond block. I called and the driver drove off
Loretta kept on chattering throughout the drive
I smiled as my mind drifted off to Chase , I was already missing him…
*
*
The driver stopped in front of my house
I paid him after we alighted
Is this really where you stay? Loretta asked staring at the house
I nodded
It is….. beautiful. She remarked
I smiled
*
I pushed the door opened and we walked in .
I met Max alone in the sitting room,he was busy with his assignment
Max! I called
he looked at me and then at Loretta
Who is she? he asked staring at her
She is my friend. I replied
he smirked and continued with his assignment
I dragged Loretta with me as we headed to the room
*
I brought out a black gown from my wardrobe and placed it on the bed
I was about pulling off the white gown when Loretta stopped me
Are you trying to change into the black gown? She asked
I nodded
But why? the white gown is better than the black
I know but I just feel like wearing something different
No Candy ! You look beautiful the way you are
I smiled
What were you …… she stopped when a car drove Into the compound
That must be Chase. I announced
Are you for real? Does he know you live in this kind of house?she squeezed her face
What do you mean by that? I frowned
Nothing. She smiled
Chase! Chase! I heard Max screamed
It is Chase! She jolted up from the bed and scurried out of the room
What just happened?
I brushed my hair and applied lipstick before walking out of the room
*
I walked into the sitting room and met Loretta Jumping around Chase
I sighed
hi baby! Chase greeted while walking towards me
Hi!
Are you alright? he asked
I nodded while meeting Loretta gaze
She stared at us for a while and looked away
What exactly is wrong with her? I wondered……….
