Chapter 33
End of semester
It's the end of the semester and everyone is preparing hard to get good grades. Charlotte is still the one leading in her department,Jasmine is the second while Alicia the third. Alicia and Charlotte became friends since Charlotte saved her from getting kicked out from being their department president. Charlotte had fought for her and talked some sense to those who tried to evict her. They had no option than to apologise to Alicia and she will forever be grateful for that.
Joshua has been disturbing Jasmine but she always looks for one excuse or the other. She once told Josh plainly she isn't ready for a relationship but he isn't ready to give up on her yet.
"Hi". Josh greeted Jasmine smiling and Charlotte groaned.
"We will excuse you guys". Donald said and dragged Charlotte with him.
"They looked good together or what do you think?" Charlotte asked Donald, smiling and he continued staring at her.
"Why are you so cute?" Donald said absent mindedly and she blushed.
"I guess you should ask my mom that question" she said and tucked her hair behind her ears.
"You always think people look good together but never considered we might look good together, talk less of giving us a chance...do you really think we don't look good together?" He said looking at her.
"Not again Donald" Charlotte cautioned and continued staring at them.
"So when do you have time?" Josh asked and Jasmine checked her wrist watch.
"I'm busy all day Josh '' Jasmine said, focusing on her phone in order to avoid those eyeballs of Josh. She's so sure she won't be able to resist those eyes if she stares at them.
"So you are busy all through the week" Josh said frustrated. He knows for sure Jasmine is lying but is not ready to back down.
"More like it..I also need to study" Jasmine said and saw Charlotte coming. She just hopes she doesn't try anything funny.
"I know you can talk to Jazz on my behalf, ' Josh said, staring at Charlotte.
"What exactly are you demanding her for?" Charlotte asked to relax in the car.
"A friendly date" he said and Charlotte winked at Jasmine who rolled her eyes.
"Friendly date right? Count it done...she's likely to be free on Sunday evening" Charlotte assured and she glared at her. Charlotte would be dead by now if only looks can kill.
"Really? Will be anticipating...see you on Sunday Jaz" he said and walked away.
"Too rude to have girlfriends, not even a thank you" Jasmine huffed and Charlotte hummed.
"And you Charlotte..." Jasmine was saying but was cut off.
"Payback darling" Charlotte said and stuck out her tongue at her.
"Common guys,let's go," Donald said and sat beside the driver's seat.
"Huh..what's Donald doing?" Jasmine asked no one in particular.
"What does it look like I'm doing? I wanna learn how to drive ofcourse" he rolled his eyes.
"Now when I'm in the car" Jasmine said, folding her hands under her beast.
"Then you can find your way home yourself" Donald and Charlotte said simultaneously. They looked at each other and did the chop knuckle sign.
"Now I get it..so this is a conspiracy right? No problem" Jasmine said and entered the car making Charlotte and Donald chucked.

Charlotte and Alexander entered the school gate at the same time and he packed beside her. Val ran out and hugged Charlotte really tight.
"I can't breathe Val and don't tell me you're missing me already..we still met like a few days ago" Charlotte said and Valerie released her. Damn! how much she missed her.
"Ofcourse, I do like a whole lot," Val said and she smiled.
"Awwn" Charlotte fanned herself.
"Alex threatened to leave me behind if I don't wake up early" Val said and frowned.
"Don't mind him..he is such a killjoy" Charlotte said in a whisper and Valerie smiled.
"What are you guys discussing?" Alexander demanded, staring at them suspiciously.
"None of your business!" they snapped at him.
"Woah! I only asked you guys a question...didn't ask you to bite me" he joked and left for class.
Valerie got to class and the few people stared at her and looked away. Who cares anyway..she's getting used to their stares. She sat down and started operating her phone.
"Hi" someone greeted and she looked up.
"Oh..Good morning" she replied smiling. It's Bryan. He is practically the cutest in their department and they have been kind of vibing well.
"I'm thinking of joining the club Mr. Reed told us about or what do you think?" Bryan said, trying to start a conversation.
"A club?" Valerie asked, confused.
"Maybe you were not in class when he was saying it, we don't know the topic yet. He admonished us that we can try to beat the government student" Brian said.
"Oh should we just give it a try? it will be fun trying our best to beat government student" Valerie said smirking.
"Let's do this! Mr Reed will be so happy we want to compete..he should be around now since he's always punctual' Brian said and they walked hand-in-hand to his office.
"Rumour has it we are dating but we don't give a damn" Val said smiling and he smiled back.
"Damn you have dimples," Byan said, stopping on his track and staring at her.
"Not really because it shows only when I smile broadly, unlike Alex. Sometimes it shows when he talks," Valerie said and entered the office.
They told Mr Reed of their plight and he was so happy. He has their names written down.
"Look here Brian". Valerie said and he smiled at the camera.
Valerie uploaded it on Instagram and captioned it with love emoji and comments started popping up. Some girls are angry thinking they are dating.
Valerie re-edited the caption changing it to "stay away from him bitch ,he is mine and mine alone"
"You just like causing trouble," Brian said and she laughed.
"Who is Bianca" she demanded seeing all the messages she texted within few minutes after her post warning her to stay away from Brian"
"That lady is really obsessed with me I guess..she is a government student and she's in her third year but the fact she is not my type is so obvious..she's my senior by class and age for pet's sake" he said and they left for class. All eyes were on them. Some girls stared at her in jealousy.
"Let's go sit over there babe" Bryan said and their eyes almost bulged out of their sockets. Val and Brian just ignored them and left for their seats.
