Author POV
"Hmm..so she's your sister".
"Yeah..I missed her so much. It was really hard for me but I have a strong belief she's alive and somewhere close". Alexander said.
"Hmm". No wonder he really cares about her.
"So what was Rose's suggestion". She demanded.
"Didn't you tell us you heard everything". Rose asked looking up.
"That's a code..I only heard Valerie and I've been curious about who she is...". Charlotte shrugged.
"Okay...I'm thinking she might be Alicia".
"Huh?..which of the Alicia?". Charlotte inquired.
"The girl living with you". She answered.
"What!".
"Yeah". Rose said.
"That's not possible...".
"Well my dear it is". Rose replied.
"Why would you even think of such". Charlotte asked.
"Because my instincts say so...my instincts don't deceive but I'm still not sure about the whole thing". She rubbed her eyes.
"Alex..is that her picture in your room?".
"I have many of them in my room so yes".
"They don't look alike". Charlotte said.
"But they have the same voice". Rose and Alexander said forthwith.
"Oh...". Charlotte thought for a while.
"What about their birthday?". She inquired.
"Same also".
"Wow but where can she be?".
"That's where the problem lies". Rose replied.
"And the wyrd part of it is that mom kept on telling me her instinct also tells her Alicia has something to do with Valerie". Alexander said.
"I told ya". Rose replied.
Almost immediately, Alexander's phone started ringing and he picked it.
"Hi Alicia?".
"Afternoon bro..please I need your help".
"Which is?".
"Please come pick me up".
"Pick you? What happened to Charlotte?". She asked.
"She almost got me killed in the morning, she was practically flying bro". She said, Charlotte just scoffed.
"If Alexander comes to pick you in school today, just know he will be the one picking you always". She finalised. There was silence at the other end of the call for some time.
"Alexander...will you be coming to pick me all the time?". She asked and Charlotte frowned. So she made up her mind. She wasn't even speeding, she was just... she looked for the right word.
"Flying". Her subconscious mocked and she just rolled her eyes. Companies have been disturbing her phone. She always switched it off most times to avoid distractions at school . They have been disturbing the three of them, especially her.
"Okay...I agree". Charlotte's eyes widened. Alicia just rejected her.
"So you chose Alexander over me ,Alright no problem". She said and Alicia chuckled.
"Common Charlotte,you almost got us killed in the morning". She pouts.
"Whatever..at least we didn't die did we?". She rolled her eyes.
"Just give me a few minutes to be in your school...". Alexander said going to his class to get his car key.
Charlotte checked her phone and gasped.
"How many hours did we spend here? It's closing already?". She left for her class and saw Donald. She has been trying to avoid Donald and is doing well.
"Hey". She greeted and Donald quickly hugged her making her heart beat weirdly again.
"What's up". She asked, confused immediately he disengaged from the hug.
"Where have you been? I was so worried". He asked, looking at her worriedly.
"I'm sorry I worried about you. Where is Jasmine and why haven't you gone home". She asked looking around.
"She was also looking for you...my mum said she's on her way some minutes ago".
"Oh". She called Jasmine to come back.
"Babe..where have you been? Donald continued disturbing me to look for you as if you are a kid". She rolled her eyes.
"Thanks anyways". Charlotte and Donald said at the same time and she scoffed.
"You guys should just date already". Jasmine teased.
"Huh?". They both said again, they looked at themselves and laughed.
"Oh, mum said she's in school already...let's go". Donald said and they left.
"Thanks Charlotte for taking care of him on Saturday and happy birthday to you though". His mom said and Charlotte smiled.
"It's nothing ma'am".
"Bye Donald''. Jasmine and Charlotte waved him goodbye.
"See ya tomorrow babe". Jasmine said, carrying her bag and running outside the classroom.
"So you too are not going to let me drive you?". Charlotte frowned.
"My parents still need me. Drive carefully ok?..bye". She said and ran off.
"Betrayal!". Charlotte shouted frowning and entered the car. She tuned in to music and drove out of the school. She was almost getting to their estate when something caught her attention.
Someone was beside a car looking tired. Seems the car is at fault.
"Isn't that the jerk?". She asked herself moving closer to the person.
"Oh! It's really him". She parked and came out of the car.
"It's the crazee again". He groaned seeing it's Charlotte. What she did in the mall is still a surprise to him.
"That voice". Charlotte thought. So alluring. "Wait...did you just call me crazee". The guy just rolled his eyes.
"And what if I did". He asked.
"If I'm a crazee then you're a jerk. Ugly jerk at that". She scoffed.
"Are you here to start your crazy attitude or you wanna help me?". He demanded.
"Oh! You need help. Didn't know". She replied smiling.
"Of Course,I needed help".
"So the almighty jerk could ask for help". She teased.
"Are you helping or not?".
"If I was to think of your annoying attitude, it would have been a No but just come in". She said getting inside her car and he also did the same.
She drove away afterwards.
"I'm starving. Will wait and eat in the restaurant over there. Will you like to tag along?". She asked him looking at his cute face. His face was so cold and void of emotion.
"Nah I'm not hungry". He snapped and his stomach started grumbling to their hearing. Charlotte just chuckled.
"I will take that as a yes". She laughed while coming out of her car.
Gosh! Stomach: why did you have to embarrass me? He asked himself, annoyed.
"How may I help you ma'am". A waiter said bowing. She looked at Charlotte and gasped.
"Aren't you the girl in the video?. You are so cute in person. I really love your voice". She complimented and Charlotte blushed.
"Thanks".
"And the keyboardist, I've been crushing on him since then". Charlotte felt a little jealous.
"Oh you mean Donald?".
"Is that his name?. He has such a nice name, can I have a picture with you?". She asked.
"Sure but please stop shouting you will get people's attention".
"Oh..okay". She simply said and she and Charlotte took a picture.
"I'm a big fan...". Someone cut her off.
"You talk a lot. You got her pics already. Don't you have necessary things to do? Gosh!". Andrew said focusing on his phone. The waiter left embarrassed.
"You are not only a jerk but a meanie". Charlotte said.
"Stop calling me names. My name is Andrew". He replied scoffing.
"Andrew? Sounds weird". Charlotte said.
"Thanks". He replied.
"Look at you. I haven't ordered anything". Charlotte said and he signalled to a waiter.
"What would you like to order, sir".
"What would you like to eat?". Andrew asked her.
"I will eat whatever you eat". She replied smiling but he just maintained his straight face.
So mean!
