chapter thirty eight
Truth or dare
It's finally the last day of their examination.
"Argh...our philosophy lecturer is such a hard man, his question alone almost made me pass out" Aria told charlotte.
"That man is crazy.. like totally crazy!" She screamed, drawing little attention. Students outside are few because just the brilliant ones are through.
"He is crazy but when the result comes out you still get the highest mark, don't trust her Aria" Alicia said sarcastically.
"I'm serious about this," she said, frowning.
"Still, Don't trust her," she warned, laughing. She was about to say something when someone ran to her.
"O.M.G it's really you, don't you remember me again? " she asked, seeing Charlotte was confused.
"I'm sorry but I really don't," Charlotte said. The face looks Kinda familiar but the memory keeps on erasing.
"I'm the girl you saved from those bad guys that evening when you came to school...so how did you escape that day?" she whispered.
"Oh...Someone saved me from them, but I'm happy I came at the right time" charlotte said smiling.
"Charlotte" Donald and Jasmine called and Donald hugged Charlotte. She could feel the weird heart beat again.
"How was your last paper? can't believe I'm done with university" Donald said smiling.
"The paper was stressful, Mr Stephen finally went insane. It was like he wanted failure for us, this exam was one hell of a thing" Charlotte screamed but Donald was quick to cover her mouth.
"I'm sorry for her weird behaviour guys" He apologised and Charlotte frowned.
"This is the last Paper so let's go have some fun" Josh suggested and they agreed.
"O.m.G... I'm around celebrity Josh of all guys. Alexander again!" Chloe squealed happily. Jasmine frowned, disliking her already.
"You have to get used to them, let's go have fun guys," Charlotte said and they left the school in their different cars. They got to know in the car Chloe is in her fourth year and aspiring to be a doctor. Charlotte wouldn't have forgiven herself if such girl with great dream had gotten raped. She told Jaz and Donald who Chloe is. Jasmine is trying to get rid of her dislike for her.
"Let's celebrate this new victory, how about going on a date?" Josh suggested and Jaz stared at him suspiciously.
"I know what you're up to Josh, it's either we go on a date now or weekend" Jasmine said. He raised his hands up in surrender. He really wants them to be alone.
"Today is getting boring, why don't we play a game?". They all agreed.
Valerie and Bryan met up with them. They logged into a hotel. Chloe went and looked for a bottle.
"So I will be the first to spin the bottle and the game goes round". They all nodded. Chloe spinned the bottle and it was facing Jasmine and Val.
"Truth or dare?" Val asked and smirked.
"Truth," she replied, looking at her suspiciously. She is up to something.
"Perfect! So I've been dying to ask this question...are You dating Josh..you guys were the same outfit and you also went on a date with him" she said and Josh cleared his throat.
"We ain't dating and about the outfit, it was a coincidence but Josh isn't that bad though" she blushed smiling. They all stared at Josh and he winked. They scoffed and spinned the bottle again and it landed On Josh and Bryan.
"Good timing, truth or dare?" Josh asked and he chose dare.
"I dare you to peck anyone beside you" Josh achieved his goal because the looks on Alex's face are so priceless right now. Val and Aria were beside Bryan.
"I would rather go for val" he smiled and her heart skipped. She looked into those Oceanic blue eyes and seeing Bryan moving his face closer to her, she closed her eyes. It was like there was a slow of time.
"It's Just a peck!" Alexander said getting impatient already. Val opened her eyes and frowned.
"What were you thinking in that dirty mind of yours val?" He quickly pecked valerie and she slapped him lightly. They Continued the game and the bottle was spinned. It was charlotte and Aria's turn. "Truth or dare babe?? she demanded with a smirk.
"Dare" she said calmly trying to be bold, she would have opted out if it were that they were just four.
"As bold as a while cat huh? I dare you kiss the first person that talks to you in school on oùr convocation day Aria Said Smiling.
"What! are you nut? What is the consequence?" she gave her a hard long glare"
"You take five shorts and give me two thousand dollars, I know you have the money" Aria said and she scoffed.
"Stylish theft,I would rather kiss then?" She shrugged.
"Deal?"
Deal" she said boredly.
The bottle was spinned and it was Alexander and Josh.
"woah! Truth or dare" Alex said and Josh chose dare.
"Dare you to lick Jasmine's toes" Josh gave Alex what the hell looked like but he just shrugged.
"Why is the bottle not coming to my side?" Chloe groaned and they laughed. It was like the battle heard Chloe because it faced Alex and her.
"Not again!" he groaned and they laughed
"Truth or dare" Chloe demanded.
"Dare" he simply said.
"Dare you to kiss the first person be it your sis or a guy that calls your full name on our convocation day" Alexander Just smiled inwardly. The only person that calls him by his full name is his mom.
"Alright" he said. It was getting late already and they all promised that would be the last spin. They spinned again and it landed on Alicia and Alexander.
"How Do you keep doing that?"
"Truth or dare?" Shesaid instead and he chose the truth.
"If you were to get married to someone in our midst right now,who would that be?" He thought for a while.
"Maybe...Valerie or Charlotte" he said and winked at charlotte.
It's late already and they departed.
"Do you wanna go with me‽" Bryan asked Valerie hoping it's a yes. "Hmm, okay. The drive home was silent. Val unconsciously touched her cheeks and remembering the peck, she blushed.
"val?" He called softly and parked.
"Yeah?" She replied with her mind still on the kiss.
"Do you also feel the same way towards me...I mean,. I think I'm going Crazy" he sighed, raking his hand through his hair frustratedly. "Feel what?" she asked, playing ignorant.
"Don't play tricks val this is my heart we're talking about here,do you also have feelings for me or it's just the friendship feeling?l just want to know where i belong" Bryan stared at Val who was dumb founded. It was what Bryan asked that just triggered her feelings for him. She likes being around him but is she really ready for a relationship?
"Bryan, I like you and also enjoy being around you but this is too sudden. I don't know if I'm ready for a relationship. Besides our friendship is barely a year...I also promised Charlotte and Alex I will not be distracted by anything in my Studies" she said and looked away.
"So,you can wait till we finish school. Are you ain't gonna find someone else?" He demanded and she just kept mute not wanting to stare in those eyeballs. Bryan pulled her face close to his and she could feel his breath fanning her neck, one more inch closer and their lips would meet each other.
"Answer my question Val" she stared into his eyes and she could feel the burn of passion.
"Ladies' hearts are unpredictable, Bryan but I promise to try my best," she said.
"Okay" he ignited the car engine and drove off . At Least she has feelings for him.
"Aren't you coming down late already? '' Bryan said immediately they got to val's house and she was hesitating to come down.
"I will have to wait for Alexander, not ready for mom and her questions" Val said and he nodded.
Twenty minutes later, Alex got home.
"oh, see ya" she waved at him and he drove off.
"welcome mom" Alex and Val greeted and she responded giving them a hard glare.
"Where have you been?! called you guys, and none responded including charlotte" she looked from val to Alex.
"We went to have fun," Alex replied and pulled Val upstairs.
"Anyway you guys have visitors" she shouted but they still heard her. "Are you expecting someone?" Val asked Alex.
"Nope, maybe it's dad coming with another drama again. I strongly doubt if I can get married to strangers...I mean I'm really too young for this?" Alex said and face palmed.
"I haven't talked to him remember? Just chill okay" she said and he nodded. They checked the guest rooms and their parents' room but didn't find anything.
"Mom said visitors, which means they are two," Alexander remarked. "Maybe mom was pulling our legs," Val said, opening the door to her room. She stared at the person again and screamed. She jumped on her and she hugged her back.
"Damn it sis, hope you didn't miss your way home?" She Jokes. Alexander rushed to the room hearing her scream.
"You scared me val you really need to start acting like someone matured" she just rolled her eyes.
"Hi Bella, good to See you again," He said, hugging her.
"same here" she replied. She looked more beautiful.
"So the first visitor is Annabella, then who is the second visitor?" Val demanded from her sister.
"Is there a stranger in this house?" Annabella asked.
"So you aren't even aware? let's find out then" Valerie said and they left for Alex's room. There on the bed laid a guy operating his laptop.
"Am I day dreaming" he said rubbing his eyes
"Can it be him?" Bella thought, stealing glances. at him.
"Of course you're not, Alexander Blake, it's still me," he said standing up from his king size bed.
" my God, it's really you, what's up bro?" Alex said and they shook hands.
"Val, it's so good to see you again, I was damn busy I couldn't make it to the party. It's kelvin" he said, hugging her.
"Kelvin" she said hugging back. They disengaged from the hug. All the while, Bella continued staring at Kelvin. Val noticed the connection and smiled. Maybe her sister is falling for Kelvin already. Kelvin stared at Bella and Same as Bella.
"You again!? They both shouted startling Val and Alex. They looked at them confused
"Gosh! Are you stalking me now, why do you have to be everywhere I am?" Bella said and he smirked.
"I'm in my cousin's house and you're asking me that question...seriously?" he scoffed and smiled.
"Okay, what's happening here?" Alex asked, facing Kelvin.
"She is my arrogant girlfriend, we had a little misunderstanding and she broke up with me" Kelvin said, faking sadness.
"What!" Bella exclaimed.
"My sis ain't arrogant and you guys ain't friends based on her reaction" val looked at Bella for explanation.
"He is an arrogant Jerk in school, let's go Val" she said and dragged Val out of the house room.
"I'm not an arrogant and a jerk but you're" He shouted back at her but Bella slammed the door on his face
"What was that for? Aled asked sitting on a sofa next to him "Nevermind" He snapped and returned to his laptop.
"Are you really stalking Bella because your visit still amazes me?"Alex said.
"I came mainly because of Val and your convocation" He said facing his laptop.
"I guess I'm honoured," he replied, bowing.
"You should be and please stop distracting me" he warned and faced the laptop again. Kelvin is one hell of a snubber but he is interesting if you are close to him.
"Fuck you kel" he rolled his eyes but Kelvin Just ignored him.
seems he is really busy because the kelvin he knows would have replied so he Just let him be
