Ivy felt humiliated, embarrassed and angry at the same time. How could Castillo do this to her?
She knew it was never a mistake, the son of the so called minister Pedro Walter cannot have a credit card without money.
"Ivy you are so doomed! This guys are just too heartless and senseless" she grunted.
Castillo knew very well that that particular account was not funded. He had froze the account even before giving the card to Ivy.
They were not in need of ice cream at all, they just wanted her to go and come back in vain. The could not think of anything else.
Ivy sat on a spot close to Chills, crying. She was feeling so helpless, she don't just know why all this had to happen to her.
These guys are just too heartless!
**************************************************
After crying for some minutes, she stood up and cleaned up the back of her skirt with her hands, she also wiped her tears and started her journey.
She walked for some minutes before she found a cab and she got in. The drive was really long, but her mind was distant, and she was not paying any attention.
She did not even realize when the cab finally reached her school gate, till the cabby taped her to remind her where she was.
"Oh, I'm really sorry" she said softly, and he just nodded.She handed him the money for his service and got out of the cab.
She stood in front of the gate for long, staring at it before finally pushing the gate open, and walking into the building. After greeting the security man.
Getting into the school, she found out it was really quiet, and students were not loitering about.
She stood for some minutes, wondering what could be problem until it stroke her that it was closing hours already. She came back really late.
What about her bag pack? What about Alvin? What about the C4's that sent her on an errand? She hope they are still in school to receive the news of their errand.
She walked into the school and was almost becoming afraid, coz she could not find anyone.
Not knowing what to do, she decided to turn back and head home. Maybe from there she could get a clue about something.
She was about turning back when she saw a female figure seating by the side of one of the school flowers, resting her head on her laps.
The figure looked really familiar, and so she decided to check it out. She started moving closer and closer, she was really afraid but she decided to check it out. There is really not harm in trying.
She walked slowly towards the person and before she could get closer, the person raised her head. She was about to run, but halted when she found out it was Courtney.
"Jeez Courtney, you scared life out of me" she sighed in relief as she held her chest.
"Ivy you're back" Courtney muttered as she stood up and walked up to Ivy.
"Yeah" Ivy breathed tiredly.
"You came really late, did you get the ice cream?" Courtney asked, and anger flashed through Ivy's eyes immediately she heard that.
"Can you believe he gave me a credit card that wasn't funded, Castillo gave me a frozen card and I was unable to get anything" Ivy complained bitterly. Pain and anger visible in her voice and eyes.
"That's really bad of him! I knew he was capable of such, the C4's are just too wicked. How could they do that to you?" Courtney asked feeling really sad.
"These boys have done more than enough, the punishment is way too much for my crime. If I keep missing classes like this, then what's the essence of school?" Ivy ranted, while Courtney watched in pity.
"Are they still in school?" She asked after some minutes of silence.
"No they've gone home already, everyone has left" Courtney answered.
"Including Alvin?"
"Yeah including him. I went to your class after closing hours to get your bag pack, and I was sitting quietly at the lobby when Alvin approached me. He asked me about you, and I...
"Hold on! Did you tell him I went to get something for the C4's?" Ivy asked sharply, cutting her off.
"No I did not, I told him you went somewhere with Leo" she said, and Ivy quickly snapped at her.
"What? Do not look at me like that, I could not come up with a better lie" Courtney shrugged.
"And what did he say?" Ivy asked.
"He was pissed off, and he complained that you should have at least told him. He wanted to call you, but your phone was in your bag pack, and so he left with your bag back" Courtney explained.
"And what about you? What haven't you left?"
"Come on, I could not afford to leave the school when I know my best friend is somewhere far, and she was also coming back to school. So it's not bad if we leave together" she said and Ivy engaged her in a breathtaking hug.
"Thank you so much Courtney, what would I do without you" Ivy cooed, almost in tears.
"Nothing girl, nothing!" Courtney replied jokingly, and they both laughed.
The anger Ivy was feeling earlier suddenly vanished as she was speaking to Courtney.
"What about your mum? Wouldn't she be worried about you?" Ivy asked with concern.
"Naaah, I called her and lied to her that we would be having extra classes. We should be worried about your own mom instead, don't you think?" Courtney replied.
"Don't worry, I'm gonna handle her at home" Ivy said calmly.
"You know I had to dodge Leo today, coz I knew he was gonna ask of you" Courtney said as they held hands, and began walking away from the school compound.
Courtney does not want to go home with her driver today, and so she refused to call her mom to tell her she was done already.
She wanted to walk with Ivy coz that was what she's always wished for. And today, it's a reality and not a wish anymore.

"Ivy, where the hell are you coming from?" Alvin asked as he sprang on his feet, immediately Ivy stepped into the house. He was fuming in anger.
"Hey easy, I went out with Leo" she answered.
"And why is that, where did he take you?" He yelled.
"Alvin can you please stop shouting" Ivy huffed.
"Answer the damn question Ivy!" He spat.
"He took me to Chills Speed" she fired.
"Wow Chills! Great, just great. So you're telling me now that you missed classes all because of an ice cream or what? What's wrong with you Ivy?" He ranted feeling so disappointed.
When did Ivy become like this.....
"Hey baby" her mom said as she came out of the kitchen and gave her daughter a hug.
"Where have you been? You scared me" her mother asked, checking her out.
"Mom I just went out with a friend, I do not know why Alvin is shouting" she lied again.
"Alvin what is the problem?" His mom turned to Alvin.
"She missed her classes to go out with that Leo boy" he answered.
"All work and no play makes jack a dull boy, can you just let her be" her mom said calmly, and Alvin huffed.
"I don't just like that guy, he is related to Chris of the conceited C4's. Those boys are up to no good, can't you see? Do you want to keep getting into trouble" Alvin half yelled.
"He's nothing like his brother" Ivy defended.
"You can never tell, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree" Alvin spat angrily, and then stormed upstairs.
Ivy watched him with so much guilt in her eyes.
What has she gotten herself into????
