Preal tried to hide her burning cheeks with her tiny hands. "It's no use trying to hide , they're all watching you know" he whispered to her. "say yes!" The crowd kept cheering her on.
Preal was flustered,she was in the middle of a football pitch,the man of her dreams kneeling before her and a happy crowd
Surrounded them. Not an entirely happy crowd though,there were jealous ones among them,one of them her own sister . Step sister actually.
"Come on! Say yes already" shouted someone from the crowd. "Sorry" preal's voice was so tiny "could you say that again" she looked at Jace,the man kneeling before her.
"Preal Alicia smith,will you make me the happiest guy on this football pitch by being my girlfriend?"he asked again. Two girls fainted in the crowd,some were even crying and envying preal.
"Yes! Jace I would love to be your girlfriend" she said out loud, followed by the crowd screaming. Jace got up and hugged preal. "I love you preal" he cupped her face with both his hands while looking into her eyes with affection. "I...I love you too Jace"she said,eyes closed.
Everyone moved closer to congratulate them, except Layla,her step sister. She moved to the football props room,it was empty as everyone was busy watching Jace propose. Taking out her phone from her pocket,she dailed the number of Natasha smith.
"Layla, shouldn't you be in class right now?" Natasha asked. "Mommy" Layla cried over the phone. "What is it sweetheart?" Natasha seemed worried. "It's preal,that vixen stole my man"she said. "That little bitch?" Natasha was furious.
"You have to help me mother"she said
"How?" Natasha seemed interested. Mother and daughter schemed for about an hour.
By the time Natasha came out of the props room, everyone was back in class.a vicious smile was plastered on Layla's face. "Let's see how long you'll be happy for preal" she said.
Everyone in the hallway was talking about Jace's proposal that afternoon. Layla's face turned pale instantly but as soon as she
remembered what her mother told her she even laughed a little.
Entering the classroom,she walked to preal's desk. "Oh sister, you unfortunate little thing. You've found a rich guy to cling to,I am so proud of you.
I'm sure your slutty mother taught you well before her... unfortunate demise. Since everyone's giving you gifts,I thought it'd be embarrassing if I didn't gift one.
I already arranged for your gift. It awaits you at home" she smiled after that and walked away.
Preal frowned,"what gift?"she asked herself knowing well that Layla was up to no good.
