"dude what's up with you and that new girl." Chris asked placing the soda's on the table.
"nope she's not my type, I think?" He replied leisurely as he grabbed on of the cans.
"oh really, anyways have you seen Jayson, he's not normally late to our meetings." Chris inquired.
"I'm not sure maybe he's got some personal stuff to take care of." Charles shrugged.
"what could be more important than our meeting." He frowned.
"Eliza maybe." He replied, as he opened up the second soda can.
"hey! it's Jayson's." Chris yelled.
"but he isn't here by the way,so it's mine." He replied.

"Matilda, what have I done wrong?what have I done to deserve this?" Mrs Roberts wailed.
"madam it's not your fault, Elizabeth doesn't understand." She comforted her.
"not my fault? it wouldn't have been if I hadn't abandoned my kids, Elizabeth's right I'm a selfish woman who only cares about herself." She cried.
"madam that's not true, your not selfish and I'm sure you had your reasons for doing so back then." Matilda says.
"Matilda, I need to make it up to them, I have never done my responsibility of taking care of them as a mother would and now I am paying for that." She said.
"But...I will change I need to explain everything to my kids". She said holding Matilda's hand.
"here give this to Elizabeth when next you visit her." Mrs Roberts said handing her a black card.
"she'll surely need it for what so ever she wants to use money for." She placed the card in her hand.

"Ella we're running late!" Amanda yelled as she banged on the door loudly.
"I'm coming just give me a minute." She yelled back. Amanda sat on the bed playing with her phone when suddenly Addison barged into the room and out of nowhere threw her phone against the wall as the screen shattered into pieces.
"what did you do that for". Amanda yelled as Ella came out of the restroom.
"oh little miss perfect your tricks can't work on me." she growled.
"stay away from my boyfriend!" Addie warned. "or else..."
"or else what?" Ella asked angrily, placing her hands in her hips.
"Ella do not cross the line, I'm only keeping quiet because of him." Addie said glaring at her as if warning her to back off.
"crossing the line in my own room, Addie you came into my room and then you started yelling at my friend, who do you think you are?" She asked.
"Addie I have had enough now get out." She said pointing at the door.
"Ella you will surely regret this, I'm telling you." She threatened. "and you Amanda or what ever your name is, stay away from Charles or else I'll make a friend hell for you in this campus." She said and left slamming the door behind her.
"are you okay?" Ella asked holding her hand.
"I'm fine but what did she mean by she's keeping quiet because of him? who is this "him" she was talking about." Amanda asked as Ella loosened her grip.
