Episode 39

Bethel’s Pov:
I tossed on the bed and finally forced my eyes open.
Gosh! I felt so dizzy. But what to do? I needed to get ready for school.

I sat up on the bed and itched my eyes and was about getting off when the door of the bathroom opened and Ryan walked in, fully dressed.

I looked at him and gulped nervously.

“Good morning” I greeted him as he walked over to the table and grabbed his phones.

“Good morning” he replied simply and left the room.

I jumped out of the bed immediately and gasped, facing the door.

Did he just…walk out?

He forgot to wish me a happy valentine!

I sat absent mindedly in the car and didn’t even realize when my driver got to the school building and pulled over in front of it.

“Ma’am Bethel, we’re here” he called my attention when I didn’t make a move to get out of car.

“Oh! T…Thanks” I stuttered and left with my bag.

I took in a deep breath when I got outside and right there at the facade, I saw Blair and her two companions, taking pictures in front of her father’s new car.

Geez! Not again.

Students gathered around and admired them.

👥Wow! What a cool car…

👥Yeah.- really nice…

👥Its so classic…

“Hi Bethel” the brat called and waved at me.

“Care for a pic?” Alma asked and I just glared at them and walked away.

But come to think of it – that car is quite classy, you know? Bugatti. And very expensive.

Hm. I can’t imagine what the latest model of it would look like.

I shrugged and continued walking to class, resuming my ruminative mood.

I didn’t even realize when I bumped into Nicole half way to the class.

Geez! Why.am I always doing this? Bumping into.people?

“Hey, girlfriend; are you okay?” She asked and I sighed and moved my hair backwards.

“I’m fine” I replied casually.

“O..kay. Good morning, by the way” she said as we continued walking.

“Yeah – hi”.I replied and she scoffed.

“What’s wrong with you? That reminds me; what happened between you and Ryan this morning? I mean, its valentine…”

“He left without saying a word to me” I cut her off and she gasped.

“What?” She shrieked.
“He…He did?”

I stared downwards bleakly and didn’t say a word.

“Um…maybe, he forgot”, she said forlornly as we got to the entrance of the class.

We met three girls there at the entrance and I noticed one of them holding a pretty necklace.

“My boyfriend gave this to me this morning” I overheard her say to her friends as Nicole and I walked into the class.

It added to my problems. That was a definitely a valentine gift.

I followed Nicole to our seats and took mine.

Then, she dipped her hand into her bag and brought out a little wrapped present.

“Happy Valentine, girlfriend” she smiled and proffered the gift to me.
My eyes beamed immediately.

Wow!

I collected it and revered.

“Thanks bestie” I said emotionally and embraced her.

“So sorry I couldn’t get you one. It…it slipped my mind. But, I promise to get you one tomorrow…”

“Come on, it’s okay. Don’t worry about it.” She said and I flushed and hugged her again.

And that was the only time I smiled throughout the day in school.

Lady K’s Pov:
I opened the door and walked out to the garden, curious to know who the visitor was.

I finally got to the garden and surprisingly, discovered it was Jackson.
Oh!

“Hey” I called as I stood behind him and he turned to look at me.

Woah! His eyes were blazing.

“You messed me up” he said in between gritted teeth, making me perplexed.

“Hey, calm down. Are you okay?” I asked, waving my hands at his face.

He drew closer to me.

“You messed me up! Messed everything up! Why did you have to involve me in your worthless plans??” He snarled and I scoffed.

“And what are you talking about? How did I mess you up?” I asked.

“You shouldn’t have come to me in the first place. Because of your plans, everything became worst. And right now, Bethel detests me and wouldn’t even talk to me anymore”.

I huffed and batted my lashes.

“Well, you have to give it sometime,and Jackson. Can’t you see the plan’s working out? Very soon, we’ll…”

“Are you kidding me?” He cut me off.

“What f**king plan is working? Do you know how close Ryan and Bethel has become? Haven’t you seen the headlines? He dropped her off at school this morning!”

My mouth dropped wide open immediately.

What?

He paused and ran his fingers into his hair.

“You ruined everything, Karen. And from now on, I want you to stay away from me.” He said brusquely and walked away, leaving me in shock.

Bethel’s Pov:
I sat sulkily on the bed and glanced at the wall clock – few minutes to 5.

I had returned home from school a while ago, but couldn’t find Ryan at home. He’s probably gone to the concert already. I can’t believe he didn’t treat me for Valentine.
My first Valentine with my husband was ruined.

I had been so restless through out the day in school and even after closing hours, I couldn’t stay back to study with Kyle – as agreed.

Nicole had encouraged me – telling me I’d find Ryan at home and he might probably have a Valentine surprise for.me.

But here I am at home; not being able to find him.

Even the jerk – Royce – had taken his fiancee out. I also saw Judy and Tanya going out and they were probably going out to meet their Vals as well.

Why does my own case have to be different?

I Reached for my phone and dialled Nicole’s number. She was the only one I could think of talking to at that moment.

“Hey, B” she called ecstatically on the phone.

“Nicole” I sniffed.

“Hey. What’s wrong?” She asked in a different tone now.

“Ryan isn’t home. I couldn’t find him here. He left for the concert, Nicole. He left without wishing me a happy valentine” I said pathetically in a teary tone.

“Oh, Bethel!” She exhaled and paused.

“I’m…I’m so sorry. Maybe he’ll be back”.

“What do you mean he’ll be back? The concert isn’t closing anytime soon. He doesn’t care about me” I pouted.

“Come on, B; don’t say that. You know he’s a celebrity. That’s their lifestyle”

“It doesn’t matter. He wouldn’t let it affect me if he really cared”.

“Hold on; don’t tell me you’re crying?” She asked and that was when I noticed a tear streaking my face.

I sniffed and wiped it off.

“Hm. Who would’ve thought with how bad mouthed you are, you could still cry like a baby?” she said and laughed.

“This isn’t funny, Nicole” I glared.

“And she claims not to be in love” she said in a whisper.

“Okay, fine. Get ready and let’s meet so we can attend the concert together” she added immediately and I flinched.

‘What are you talking about? I’m not going any…”

“Come on, Bethel. What will you be doing at home? Besides, I’m pretty sure you’d want to see him perform at the concert” she cut me off and I kept silent.

“Bethel…”

“Fine” I mumbled and dropped the call.

I sniffed and dried my eyes. Then, stood up to get ready for the concert.

TBC.
