"Do you think this is a good idea?". Jasmine asked for the up tenth time and Charlotte sighed.
"I don't know but we are definitely not going back". They were now in Esther's house awaiting her arrival.
"Hi guys". She said in a dull tone. She looked pale and pained like she's been crying. Charlotte remarked.
"We just came to confirm something. Did you by any chance copy the love story? ". Charlotte fidgeted with her fingers like she suddenly found something interesting in it.
"Try checking Mr Mike's phone pouch. We have the same phone pouch". She said and Charlotte sighed.
"You still don't believe me?. I know I shouldn't have uploaded our love story online. I don't know how Mr Mike is faring right now". She said sobbing.

"Don't you think she needs medical attention?". Esther asked Charlotte. They left when she wouldn't stop crying.
"I'm feeling hot right now. I'm confused". Charlotte replied.
"I once had a conversation with her and judged her on her speech. It seems she's dating someone older than college boys. Mrs frown face is so mean giving us this project".
"Hmm".
"Yesternight also my dad saw her pics on my phone and told me she once saw her at Mr Mike's door step but wasn't sure if she entered or not."
"How come your dad knew that? Did he go to mr. Mike's house?". Charlotte asked processing what Jasmine just said.
"We fry and deliver chicken so he made an order the day my dad saw her".
"Fry chicken?". Charlotte thought everyone in the campus parents were rich.
"I'm on scholarship but no one knows except you now. I hope you can keep this a secret".
"Sure,but you should be proud of your personality. That's what makes the real you babe". Charlotte advised and she sighed.
"You are saying this because you are different. You have no idea how much students bullies. I was once a target in my high school and I know how it felt".
"I guess I've seen a female best friend and you're the one. We will walk perfectly". Charlotte beamed and Jasmine smiled.
"Bestie it is. I like your personality".
"We will beat up anyone who tries to bully us". Charlotte bossed and they both laughed.

Charlotte and Alexander entered the campus.
"Hi babe". Esther beamed greeting Jasmine to everyone's surprise.
"What's up girlie. We have literature today. Who is gonna present the project?".
"You ofcourse".
"Hi Charlotte". Donald smiled.
"Hey. How was your night?".
"Superb. Dreaming about you all night".
"Huh? What did you dream about me?".
"Can't tell you duh!".
"Common". She whined.
"I dreamt you bed wetted". He smirked.
"What! That's crazy. Liar". She shouted and he laughed.
"We are three now". Charlotte said smiling.
"Don't get you".
"I made Jasmine my girlfriend and you are my boy-friend". Charlotte said, stressing the boyfriend's words.
"Hi! I'm Donald". He greeted Jasmine shyly.
"Tch.. like I don't know. Well if you misbehave, Charlotte and I are gonna beat you up".
"Alright ma'am I'm gentle. Nice meeting you once again". Charlotte and Jasmine rolled their eyes.
"I can feel you guys rolling your eyes even though I can't see you".
"Whatever".
They said simultaneously and laughed.
Rachel came inside the class and people started whispering.

"Alright guys we will call on the first group to come and present their project". Miss frown face said and Jasmine came out.
"The title of our project is 'I still love you even though I'm a teacher and you're a student'. It was written in the year two thousand in South Korea. You guys can check the link on our class platform". She said and they all checked.
She began. "I ran into the messy science room and met Mr. Kim sitting on the floor. Mr. Kim? Are you Alright?.Mr Kim. After that metaphor was used. Then hyperbole and then personification. Thank you".
She said and on her way to her seat. Looked at Rachel who was obviously feeling uncomfortable.
"Alright guys,that will be all for today. Good day class". With that said,she left.
"Seriously, what was that about?".
"Did you copy the story online?".
"How could you copy someone else's love story? Not even in America".
"Do you think we won't see it?". All the male students continued questioning her. She hits her hand on the table gaining everyone's attention.
"I swear I have never read such a story". The students looked at her dubiously.
"You guys are the worst". She said facing Charlotte and her team.
"Argh..". She screamed holding her stomach and fell down.

"Guys,Rachel told the chancellor she's pregnant but when the test was conducted it said otherwise". Alicia said running inside the class.
"She can't be pregnant with that small tummy". Everyone said it was unbelievable .
"Sssh.... she's coming". Alicia whispered and they all kept mute.

It was closing her.
Charlotte entered Alex's class and didn't see him. She and Josh's eyes locked and she quickly started to leave.
"Please wait". Joshua said.
Bursted!
"Erm ..hi". He said nervously.
"Hello".
She flashed a fake smile at him.
"You have been avoiding me lately. Did I wrong you in any way?".
"Oh no..I was just busy with school work that's all".
"Okay.....".
Will it be wrong if I ask him about the anonymous message? Charlotte thought. Oh my God he was the person who sent the message. She's looking at him closely for the first time now.
"Are you "
"Were you". They both said the same time and laughed.
"Ladies first". He said smiling.
"Okay I wanted to ask if you were the one who sent the message in my IG inbox". She asked.
"Yep".
"Oh..okay... so what do you wanna ask". Josh scratched his head nervously.
"Erm...can I have your digits please ?". He asked and Charlotte thought about it for a while.
"Let me think about it".
"Think about it? Has Alex been bad mouthing me to you?". She asked his countenance had changed.
"No no not at all". She rushed her words and he sighed.
"Are you also responsible for me getting followers?". She demanded.
"Not really".
"Huh? Not really".
"Almost all the school celebrities are following you on Instagram including Alex. What do you expect".
"Oh..okay. I didn't check it. I don't even know you guys names".
"So can I get the digit?". He asked her giving her his killer.
"Well.....su".
"No she can't". They looked up and saw Alex. He was clearly jealous and angry.
Why is he angry and jealous now? Did anything happen again?.Charlotte thought.
