“Yes, we are just friends. That girl has jilted him for another guy. what a world” Vickyughed her heart out.
She was surprised to see that Harryes back.
They look at each other, then smiles.
“Oh! Harry, you came back, do you forget something. I thought you have an urgent work to attend to?”Leo asked.
“I don’te for you, I came to see her,” Harry said and faced Vicky.
“Okay don’t get angry, you can see her, “Leo said.
“Vicky, I want to remind you, if you are preparing for thepetition.
You know this is a musicpetition, not a sport, so I will advise you to get ready, you know we are going toe across different schools.
Who are very creative and better than us, so get ready” Harry said.
“I haven’t forgotten, I have been practicing for all these days, so today’s practice won’t make a difference, thanks so much for your concerns, “Vicky said.
“Okay goodbye,” Harry said and leave angrily.
“What is he trying to insinuate by saying it’s not a sportspetition.
Does he mean you are wasting your time on a cricketer like me, I consider him a friend, but if he tries to get me miffed, I promised I won’t spare him” Leo said.
” Don’t think about it, what do you expect when you see your ex-girlfriend has moved on with her life, even with the person you are very close to, you guys are friends” Vicky said.
“I only know him because of the incident that happened.
Moreover, I asked if you were his girlfriend, he denied it and told me you guys were just good friends. I didn’t do anything wrong.
If you didn’t tell me you are his ex-girlfriend, I wouldn’t have known. So why the rude behavior” Leo said.
“Please don’t let that ruin your mood. We should be happy” Vicky said and gave him her best vkiller smile.
“Hmmm,” He chuckled They both goes Into the mall.

The next day at St Patrick’s college
Authoress POV
“Guys, we should go in our cars, since the school bus that’s expected to take us to the arena isn’t here,” Pam said.
“Do you think that’s a good idea, most of us live in the school and we aren’t with cars so how was that possible?”Annie asked.
“We can use Pam and kiles car. We need to get there earlier” Joyce replied.
“Kiles what’s your problem, why have you been slubbing us since yesterday.
I called your phone, but, you aren’t picking either”Jack said following Kiles who wasing to join the student.
“Why should I pick your calls, I have told you yesterday that I don’t want to make friends with you guys again, since you refused to change.
Am not interested in that gang again.
What have I gained since I was in this gang?
Nothing, I only gain people’s hatred.
No one likes us, we are terrible and desperate. We only go around bullying everyone.
We didn’t show any sympathy. We treat our fellow humans like animals.
Don’t you think that’s despicable? Am fucking out of the gang.
You guys can do whatever you want to but I won’t join you in this. My hands are pure” Kiles said facing Jack.
“Are you mad, why will you change your mind all of a sudden. Have you gone crazy?” Nicus asked and was about to hit him.
“If you darey your dirty hand on me, I promised I won’t spare you.
Is it by force, I said am not Interested in being friends with you again can you get that into your thick skull” Kiles thundered.
“As Kiles changed, “A student said.
“Kiles have you thought about this, so you want to change. This people won’t fear nor respect you again” Jack said.
“And who told you we are scared of you. We aren’t scared, you aren’t God” Ang said with an eye roll.
“You see that they’ve started,” Nicus said.
“Is my decision. No one will decide how to live my life for me. Ang, Romeo, Pam, and whoever has been hurt, Please forgive me. I realized I was being foolish.
I was only carried away. Please let us forget the past, I have turned a new leaf. Am ready to be friendly with everyone”Kiles said with his hand joined together.
“Is good you change. That’s cool. You are forgiven by me, I don’t know of any other person” Pam said.
“Kiles, I don’t think you are normal, are you apologizing to these people, you shouldn’t be doing this”Nicus said.
“What’s your problem, he said he doesn’t what to belong to your gang again so why are you stressing yourself. Leave him alone” Annie said.
“The bus is here, let’s go. Thepetition is starting at 10’O clock” Romeo said.
Everyone goes Into the bus.
Romeo stood and look at Kiles.
He shakes his head.
“Romeo, am sorry. Am a change guy now” Kiles said.
“Whatever, I don’t want to ruin my mood talking to you, “Romeo said.
“Come inside Romeo, you shouldn’t stand there,” Ang said.
Romeo went on the bus.
Kiles and his friends also went Inside.
Kiles sit in the middle seat while Jack and Nicus went to seat at the back.
“Kiles you are forgiven,” James said.
“Thanks so much, “He said smiling.
He looks at the back.
Jack wink at him.
“Ang do you also believe that Kiles has changed. I don’t think so, I think he’s trying to y a game.
And I would never fall for his tricks” Romeo said.
“I don’t also believe he as change. These Kiles am seeing can never change.
He’s up to no good. He’s up to something. He’s trying to y a game of the heart” Ang said.
“What could be the real game,” Romeo said and does some thinking.
“No one knows, “Ang said and breathed heavily.
Kiles was the talk on the bus throughout their trip to the arena.

“Romeo, You are here,” Owen said on seeing Romeo.
“Xup Buddy, you are looking so fresh and smooth. I think Alina is taking good care of you” Romeo said teasingly.
“Is my mum that’s taking care of me not her” Owen said not knowing that Alina is at his back.
“Really,” Alina said and spank his ass.
“You are also taking care of me,” He said.
“Good boy, Romeo you look cuter. I think all these beautiful girls behind you have showered you with so much love” Alina said smiling.
“Stop whining me, See you, “Romeo said and hugs her.
“Bring your ear, lemme tell you something important,” Alina said.
Romeo took his ear closer to her. She pecks at him.
“What rubbish, “Pam said and hissed.
She leaves there. “Who is she?” Alina asked.
“Why are you asking. You peck him and you expect us not to be jealous” Owen said.
“Which means she was the Pam Romeo told us about, “Alina said.
“Yes, she’s the one”Romeo replied.
“You are dealing with a serious issue, she’s rude,” Alina said.
“That’s just her lifestyle. Don’t be mad at her”Romeo said.

“Why do youe here,” Harry asked Leo who wasing into the hall.N?velDrama.Org (C) content.
“What sort of question is that. My school is performing and everybody is invited here so why are you questioning me?”Leo asked.
“I know you came here just to see Vicky’s performance. I know you are a nosy cricketer.
You don’t have time for unnecessary things, but you change all of a sudden.
You took her away from me. I was nning to go and apologize to her but you stole her away from me.
You know for the fact have I loves her but we are a cheat” Harry said.
“Oh really! So you think she’s a second option, you can just pick and drop her.
You leave her today and you will apologize to her tomorrow. Is that how things go.
And how do you expect me to know you love her or you guy’s have dated before.
You lied she’s just your friend. And I have fallen in love with her, do you expect me to leave her for you.
Not possible, you don’t love her, if you love her you wouldn’t have said you are doing her a favor.
She loves you dearly but you broke her heart.
Do you know how hard it was for me to win her over?
I love her and nothing can change that. Not even you” Leo said and was about to leave.
Harry grip him on his neck and pinned him on the wall.
“If you don’t leave her alone. I will make you do that”Harry threatened.
“Who’s scared of you. Get your freaking hand off me” Leo said.
“I would do the worst,” Harry said.
“Will you leave him or do you still want to be stubborn.
I didn’t get a chance to deal with you very well the other day.
I think the actual time hase and is today” Pam said from behind and walk closer to them.
