After the interview with the press, Valeria went back to her dorm to relax for the day before going to watch Dennis play later in the afternoon.
"Hey Celebrity" Hannah greeted with a big smile
"Stop that" Valeria said jokingly
"See who is here?" Hannah said and Valeria notice there was another person in the room with them.
"Why are you here Shelby?" Valeria asked feeling pissed.
"To congratulate you Valeria" Shelby said with a smile
"Thank you" Valeria replied with obvious irritation
"Don't be harsh Valeria, she came with a gift" Hannah said showing Avia the wrapped box
"That wasn't necessary" Valeria replied with obvious anger in her voice
"I only came here to congratulate you but I will leave if I'm not needed here" Shelby said faking her sadness
"Not like that Michelle Cory" Hannah said holding her back from leaving
"Thank you for coming Shelby but I need my siesta now" Valeria said and Shelby walk away angrily.
"That was harsh Valeria. Is there something you ain't telling me?" Hannah said not happy with Valeria's attitude
"That girl is two-faced Hannah" Valeria said dropping the bag on her bed
"Won't you atleast check what she brought?" Hannah asked giving her the wrapped box. Valeria phone beeped as she was about to unwrap the gift.
"Hello Dennis" Valeria greeted immediately she picked up
"Did Shelby bring a gift for you?" Dennis asked with panic in his voice
"Yes she did, I'm about to unwrap it" Valeria replied looking at the gift
"Don't unwrap it Valeria" Dennis said with fear in his voice
"Why?" Valeria asked suspiciously
"Don't just open it Valeria" Dennis said ignoring her.
"Something is wrong Dennis. Who is Shelby to you?" Valeria asked angrily and Dennis end the call from his end.
"Do you like Dennis too?" Hannah asked curiously
"He's my best friend but him asking me not to open the gift is suspicious" Valeria replied trying to connect every clue she has.
"Let's unwrap it and find out what's wrong" Hannah said unwrapping the box. The big box had another small wrapped box in it, Hannah opened it and there was a beautiful gold necklace with the name 'gem' on it.
"This is really beautiful, Michelle definitely has a taste" Hannah said admiring the necklace
"Why did Dennis ask me not to unwrap the gift?" Valeria asked not understanding what happened
"Maybe he's scared Michelle will hurt you just like you are" Hannah said still admiring the necklace. Valeria collected the box from Hannah and a note fell from it.
Dear Queen of Gems,
This necklace is to show you how much we love you and what you mean to us. We would be happy to see this necklace on you everytime.
Your fans,
Gems FC.
Valeria read the content to Hannah with a smile on her face. She snapped the gift and it's content, she sent it to the group created by her team.
@Angel [This is so emotional! I'm posting this right now with the most emotional caption]
@Peter [Please do. It shows how appreciative she is]
Valeria smiled reading the message, who could have thought her life would turn around in a blink of an eye.
@Angel [Y'all can check it out]
Valeria clicked on her instagram app and checked her recently posted.
"I didn't know you write this good" Hannah said all of a sudden
"What's that Hannah?" Valeria asked wondering what she was talking about
"I didn't ask for fame but I became famous! I didn't ask for fans and I got it. I thought they were fans but didn't know they are my family. Thank you Gems FC. Love love and you tagged @gemsfc" Hannah read the caption with a smile
"Angel is so good at what she does" Valeria said happy Angel was a professional.
"You are on every blog Valeria" Hannah said excitedly walking towards her
"Yeah Peter granted interview for me" a Valeria said smiling. Hannah showed her the headlines she was eager to see too.
"I love this headline more" Valeria said pointing to the one she likes 'The savage Queen'
"I can't wait to watch the news and hear what you said" Hannah said excitedly. Valeria kept reading the comments from her fans when she saw a fan asking her when she's dropping another picture. She texted her team group
@Valeria [I have a shoot with EmJay tomorrow, I will be modelling their new shades]
@Rebecca [I will schedule with them]
@Bianca [I will send two bouncers]
@Peter [The company's van will take you there]
@Valeria [Thank you but I will love only Mackenzie to follow me]
@Daniel [Sir Mac won't be able to come along]
@Rebecca [He's your manager but we are the one you would be working with]
@Valeria [Yes, I know Rebecca but I want Mackenzie to come along so he can explain things to EmJay]
@Daniel [That's why I'm here Valeria]
@Mackenzie [Let it be, I will go with her]
@Valeria [Thank you. 9am tomorrow]
Valeria was happy Mackenzie agreed to follow her.

Dennis became scared after his call with Valeria but after seeing what the package contained on instagram, he got angry.
***FLASHBACK***
Dennis was in the room with his favorite roommate Eric when Shelby call came in.
"Why is Shelby calling me?" Dennis asked himself
"Uh-huh! Your girl can't keep calm" Eric teased
"What do you want Shelby?" Dennis asked after picking the call
"Since you've refused to acknowledge me and properly introduce me to your best friend. I will be giving her a gift" Shelby said with a wicked smirk.
"What does the gift contain Shelby?" Dennis asked with fear
"What you refuse to acknowledge. She's yet to open the gift, you have a chance to stop her from seeing the content" Shelby said and end the call
"Shelby! Shelby!! Shelby!!!" Dennis called angrily
"What's wrong?" Eric asked wondering what's making him scared
"She wants to give Ria a gift" Dennis said with panic
"Isn't that good? Atleast they are bonding" Eric replied not knowing whatever complications is there
"They are not suppose to bond" Dennis said leaving the room. Eric shrug not understanding why he's scared.
***FLASHBACK ENDS***
Dennis walk angrily to where he knew Shelby would be.
"Hi Dennis" Shelby waved as she saw him
"What the hell did you do?" Dennis asked angrily
"Delivered a gift to your best friend from her fans" Shelby replied and laughed sarcastically
"Why did you call me Shelby?" Dennis asked angrily holding her hand tight.
"You are hurting me Dennis" Shelby said groaning in pain
"I will continue to do this if you don't stop troubling Valeria" Dennis said holding her more tight
"Why are you supporting her this much? Are you in love with her?" Shelby asked with pain
"My relationship with Valeria shouldn't be your concern" Dennis said looking into Shelby's hurt eyes
"Why Dennis? Because you love her? Can't you love me too?" Shelby asked with tears
"Valeria is my best friend. Know that and have peace" Dennis replied still holding her tight
"Why do you support your best friend this much?" Shelby asked using her other hand to wipe her tears.
"Don't you support Christiana? Friends are supposed to support each other and not go against each other" Dennis said leaving her hand
"You do too much with Valeria, I'm jealous of what you both share" Shelby said holding Dennis' hands in hers
"You are just a friend Shelby! Don't compare yourself with Valeria" Dennis said and walk away leaving Shelby shattered. Shelby needed someone to talk to and called her best friend.
"Hi Christiana" Shelby greeted controlling her tears
"What's wrong best friend?" Christiana asked noticing something is wrong with her.
"Dennis is angry with me" Shelby said with tears
"What did you do?" Christiana asked trying not to be insensitive.
***FLASHBACK***
Shelby was walking towards the Max Pelevsky residential building when a dispatch bike stopped beside her.
"Excuse me miss" The rider said stopping her.
"Do you know Miss Valeria?" The rider asked politely
"Yes she's my friend" Shelby said with a fake smile.
"That's great! Can you please help me deliver this to her?" the rider said
"Sure. Where should I sign?" Shelby asked and the rider showed her where to sign which she did. The rider gave her the wrapped box and drove off.
***FLASHBACK ENDS***
"At that point, the only thing that came to my mind was to make Dennis pee in his pants" Shelby explained
"What stupid thing did you do?" Christiana asked knowing whatever she did to make Dennis pee did make him pee.
"I called him lying that I sent a package to Valeria and he should get her not to open it" Shelby explained
"So he called her and look stupid" Christiana said with a chuckle
"Now he's angry" Shelby added sadly
"Apologize darling" Christiana said
"I won't" Shelby replied
"You are a wrapped trouble" Christiana said laughing
"Let it be that way" Shelby said sadly
"I give up" Christiana said laughing.
"Nothing is funny" Shelby said angrily and end the call. She knows Christiana won't support her but is she really a wrapped trouble?
