Keysha, where the hell are you coming from? Mr. Jeffery yelled, please don't yell at her Jason Alonso pleaded. 

Well she is my daughter so I have the right to yell, he frowned

She is your daughter but doesn't yell at her in front of me I could strip you of all those rights, Devina snapped at her husband. 

Is that right   Jeffery replied? 

Yes, that's final I will deal with her, myself. 

The policemen eyed both parents, look just be careful about your kids that's all Chris Ruggers advised. 

Let us talk outside Mr. Kurtis, Jason offered you need to hear this. 

Meanwhile, miss Devina keeps your eyes on her, don't upset her because she has been through a lot at this stage, keep your doors locked and if you have any troubles don't hesitate to call us. 

Ok, I will do just that, Devina answered. 

Soon as the men shut the door. 

Devina eyed her daughter you are the reason this man keeps coming back into my home, you have been careless and not thinking about college, am trying my best to give you and jenny sound education at least I owe you that, what I won't tolerate are your disobedience and disrespect.

You think you are the only one with raging hormones, well I have them too and you shouldn't let it control you. 

The Neighbors beginning to talk,

Well, Jason Alonso stood on akimbo, while Chris rugger do the talking. It might interest you to know bobby James is after your daughter's life, maybe use her as bait to find out who is responsible, and then notify us

We would help watch out for you, do us a favor stay out of trouble 

Alright, Jason! I will 

The police car zoom off!

The next day in school was hectic, Keysha tactically avoids Trent and Britanny. 

During recess, the barbies sit down together

Hey Key,  hope you good Keke touched her friend on the shoulders, she jumped 

Oh sorry, just that am having worries of my own, about what Keke eyed her suspiciously. 

Oh it's about my mom, she doesn't like the idea of me becoming a dancer and that's what I want, hmm, Lena hummed, well parents don't always get us, but if you really what to dance stick to it I love to dance and I bet I dance better than you Keysha. 

Keysha laughed, well we could always have a face-off or something to see whose the better dancer 

Gina was silent poking on her dessert of ice cream fudge. 

Chloe noticed the change of mood in Gina after the argument at the party, she nudged Gina hey what's up with you girl. 

Nothing, Gina muttered 

Spill it, Lena fold her hands looking directly 

Alright, guys since you all care to know, I don't like being picked on or treated as the lesser one I deserve some respect, especially from you Keke. 

Wow where is that coming from, Keke yelled what did I do? 

Gina stood up I have been busting my ass for you guys I think am done nobody cares about how I feel, I don't want to be a Barbie anymore. 

What !? Keysha's eyes widened with shock what's wrong with you Gina.

What is wrong is she wants to defect to our team said a voice everyone's familiar with, Keysha turned and say Britanny wearing ZETA HIGH customized cheerleaders uniform, come on sweetheart we have one more space for a member in our team. 

Gina stood up and followed Britanny. 

Oh, by the way, she spun around to face Keysha Trent is officially my boyfriend, just so you might know, Keysha's hands clenched the cutlery she is holding. 

Wow put your anger in check, Britanny sneers, she snaps her fingers other cheerleaders joined her, well well Chloe Anderson, since you decided to be a Barbie, we decided to pass your leadership role to Britanny after she showed us her athletic and dance moves, we didn't need to go to school management anymore have a nice day. 

The barbie team became low spirited they just lost Gina, and she funds the team, Keysha was shocked, Keke Xavier put her face in her hands, I didn't mean to hurt her, she sobbed, I didn't know she's not a happy person,  is not my fault. 

Trent cleared his throat and interrupted, the girls, hello Keysha can I have a minute with you. 

No, you can't, you pathetic piece of shit, you couldn't even man up and face a fellow man, by the way, am not mad we broke up, am just mad you have been sneaking around with Britanny that's all have a nice day, Trent attempt to touch her Lena gave him a push out of nowhere he staggered back and left.

The bell for recess went off and everyone, for back to the class, just then the intercom buzzed. 

ANNOUNCEMENT! ANNOUNCEMENT !!!!

will the whole student report to the basketball court, we have an urgent matter to discuss. The students cheered as they run off, the idea of breaking of a lecture in progress seems to excite a lot of them. 

Every student finally had gathered, and the teachers were all seated waiting for the principal's speech.

The principal stepped forward to the podium.

Good day students, my fellow teachers and staff of Zeta High School, it is my pleasure that we all are gathered here, I wish to announce there is a scholarship form going on for those of you interested in furthering your education based on the application of science those of you who want to be astronauts, doctors, and marine scientist. 

From the crowd one of the students yelled no thanks sir my life would suck! the students roared into laughter.

SILENCE ! the principal barked! who said that I want to know who said that, the student remained motionless nobody gave him away. 

As I was saying ! ( Someone from the crowd farts loudly) the students near the section roared into laughter. 

Silence vermins am not done yet having said that, I have another form from the dance academy, so anyone interested would sign up for it this afternoon and it might interest you that the Arts and dance department have been approved in Zeta high School, so whoever performs excellently well stands a chance of winning a scholarship to any dance college for his or her choice in this country. 

The students broke out in the round of applause. The principal gestured for silence and everyone remained calm I, therefore, made provision for extra pair of hands since I know we have to meet up to the standard, I have employed two teachers 

Now your new chemistry teacher is miss Lilian Becker! She steps forward and waved at the crowd, secondly, your new dance teacher is Lucas Jordan, a handsome hunky man stepped forward, and took a bow the ladies erupted in cheers, even the female colleague made seductive glances at him, 

Keysha would have sworn she say miss Becker lick her lips.
