Author POV
"Donald?". She was really shocked. A part of her wants to accept while a part of her is doubting too. Two proposals just in a day.
"Charlotte please..I really love you..I've never felt this way for any lady..". He pleaded.
"I need time Donald". Charlotte said after a long silence.
"Okay...". He replied and none of them said a word after that.
" Can you help me call my mum?". He asked.
"Sure". He gave her the phone. She dialled the number but it wasn't going through.
"She might be angry and worried. I rarely stay out late" . He said.
"That means you gonna have a sleepover".
"No! You can help me call a cab..I will be fine".
"In your dreams..I can't just put you in a cab and have peace of mind. Either you use one of the guest rooms or you use that of Alexander". She bossed and he smiled.
"Aren't you guys going to your houses?". Charlotte said seeing they are still playing the game.
"The game is just getting hotter". Aria said happily and Charlotte rolled her eyes.
They stopped playing the game and each of their drivers came to pick them.
"Why isn't your boyfriend going or will he be spending the night with you?". Alexander teased whispering.
"Sorry Alex but he will be sleeping with you tonight".
"Why?".
"Will tell you tomorrow".
"Oh okay...follow me. I'm even exhausted". He said and Donald followed. Atleast he isn't sleeping with her.

"Argggh ..." Charlotte screamed, raking her head in her hair, scattering it the more.
"Charlotte can you please stop screaming. When you know you like him,then you should at least say something better to him than keeping him hanging?". Alicia said, rolling her eyes.
"Like what?".
"You should have at least told him you like him but you will think about his proposal". Alicia replied with an eye roll.
"Do i like him? I don't even know whom I like between Donald and Josh....anytime they are talking with me my heart always beats weirdly". She is really confused. She is stuck between Josh and Donald.
"Just be careful and follow your heart. Anyone you choose is okay with me but I don't feel good about Donald but will still support you though". A spirit is just telling her Donald isn't for good.
"You are saying this because you don't know him. Donald is a nice person". She replied.
"Whatever". She rolled her eyes and focused on her phone.
****
"Do you really like her?". Alexander asked, trying to hide his jealousy.
"Huh?". Donald looked at him confused.
"Aren't you guys dating? She told me you are her boyfriend". Alexander scoffed thinking Donald was trying to pretend.
"Boy friend?". Donald asked, getting more discombobulated.
"She told me you guys are dating".
"Oh...she meant boy-friend...that is a boy that is her friend".
"So you guys aren't s thing?".
"Nah but maybe we might be something later". He mumbled the last part.
"Huh". Alexander asked not hearing what he said.
"Not you...please I need to wash up". He said changing the topic.
"That's the rest room". He pointed out and he nodded.

"Morning ma'am, aren't you following me to school or you wanna go buy yourself?". Alexander said, waking up Charlotte.
"Go away Alex..I have my own car now". She replied, trying to get more sleep.
"Your car..can you even drive?".
"Just go away". She screamed, waking Alicia.
"Alright...don't get yourself killed okay". He kissed Alicia and Charlotte's head making Charlotte blushed then exited the room.
"Oh! Dear heart..how many guys are you beating for?". She said aloud frustrated her heart also beat for Alexander.
"Are you also in love with Alex". She asked, looking at Charlotte suspiciously.
"What! Ofcourse no!". She replied quickly.
"Oh dear heart..how many guys are you beating for". Alicia mimicked her.
"Fine! I'm currently crushing on four guys but two asked me out...and now I don't know who among the two I should accept. Both of them have been disturbing my WhatsApp messages also?". She said tiredly.
"Tell them to give you time...it might just be a crush and by the way,who is the fourth person?".
"I don't even know his name but we've met two times now".
"Where and when". She asked enthusiastically.
"School and at the mall".
"Did he say anything to you?".
"Not really..any word that comes out of his mouth is always rude. Anyways I had to put him in his place by cutting that trouser into two and trust me I really felt good". Charlotte replied feeling so fulfilled.
"You are one crazy girl Charlotte".
"Oh please..tell me you don't like me that way". She replied smiling.
"Ofcourse I do..who wouldn't?".
"Oh my God! I'm late already". She screamed while taking her towel.
"Too late doll". Alicia screamed entering the bathroom and closing the door behind her.
"You are so dead Alicia". She shouted and she laughed out loud.

Charlotte picked a pink baggy long sleeve,a white baggy shirt and black sneakers. She wore black shorts and braided her hair into two.
"Alicia,which one do you think goes best. Black or white bag?".
"I chose the white bag".
"Let's go".
"I would rather take transport, thanks. I don't wanna die young". Alicia said sarcastically.
"Will tell mum not to give you". She smirks.
"Guess what Alex gave me?". She bragged.
"Well.... just tell me. I'm a bad guesser".
"Well..he gave me an A.T.M card and the morning he put in can last me a year even if I spend lavishly".
"So that's why you don't wanna take my car?". She asked rhetorically.
"Yes doll!". Alicia replied smiling.
"Common..you haven't even tried my driving skill and you already jumped to conclusions?". She pouts.
"Fine...if I get killed my spirit will never let you have rest".
"Fine..we're twenty minutes late dol".
"Good morning mom..bye mom". They greeted each other and ran out.

"Oh lord..save your dear daughter!". Alicia screamed continually because of the way Charlotte was speeding.
"This isn't even speeding..you are only exaggerating". She rolled her eyes. They got to Alicia school and all eyes on her.
"Alicia..my dear friend". Sabrina said and she scoffed. Sabrina left her when her(Alicia's) mom died. She is such a fair weather friend.
"I ain't nobody's friend so fúck off!". She shouted.

"Mehn...your birthday was the best I've ever attended in a long while". Aria said. Everyone has been talking about it in school.
"And thanks for meddling".
"Will not forgive you..you ingrate". Charlotte joked.
"I'm sorry..I just wanna get your reaction". She chuckled.
"So did you get it?".
"Of Course I did..". She brought out her phone and showed her the picture. Aria snapped it immediately she dared her to kiss Donald.
"What the hell! Delete this now". She said trying to collect the phone but she was smarter to take it up.
"Why? Your face was so priceless and you're still cute".
"Aww..you guys like to flatter me a lot. Whatever you can keep the pics but don't you dare upload it".
"You mean this?". Aria smirked, showing her the picture on her Instagram posts.
"Oh no! Just shoot me". She replied sitting in a chair.
