Mico’s Pov:
I waited patiently in the car for Alexa to arrive. My car was parked in the school garage and I had earlier called her and told her to meet me there so I could tell her of my plans.
I couldn’t tell why but I actually feel nervous about this. Will I be doing the right thing?
Well, of course, I will. I really needed a girlfriend and since Alexa’s the closest female friend I have, I think she’s the right one for me.
I looked through the windrow and sighted her coming towards the car. She’s really beautiful, but I think Alyssa’s more pretty than she is.
Wait, why am I thinking of Alyssa?
Gosh! I can’t tell why I can’t seem to get her off my mind since the previous night
No. You need to stop this Mico. Alyssa’s just a friend . There’s nothing going on between both of us.
Shortly, Alexa got to the car and I opened the door for her to come in. I could read the happiness and curiosity on her face as she sat next to me in the car.
“Hi Mico” she said breezily.
“Hi. Thanks for coming” I told her and she laughed.
“There’s no need to thank me Mico. You should know I’m always here for you.”
We both kept mute for a short while.
“So… you said you wanted to see me?” She finally broke the silence.
“Un. .. yes.” I replied and cleared my throat.
“Actually, there’s something important I need to tell you.
“Let’s go on a date. I’ll tell you all about it there”.
Immediately I said that, her eyes beamed and her cheeks turned red.
She looked at me with disbelieve and a smile left her lips.
“I…” she paused and bent her head, blushing
“Okay Mico. Where and where do you want it?” she asked.
“Uhm… About that, don’t worry. I’ll send my driver to pick you up by 7pm” I replied and she smiled again.
“Okay then. Thanks I’ll be waiting”.
We paused and smiled into nothing.
“Come on; ill work you to class” I told her she she nodded happily and we left the car together.
she kept blushing as we walked around the school. All the students were staring at us. Some were even taking pictures with their phones .
I’m pretty sure Alexa must be feeling like a queen right now
she can’t even stop smiling.
I followed her to the class and when we got to the door, my eyes ran into Alyssa. I noticed a confounded look in her eyes as she starred at me and Alexa.
She looked shocked and we just kept staring at each other for while; although I couldn’t tell why.
But why am I suddenly acting this way? She’s just a friend.
“Bye Mico” Alexa broke into my thoughts and I looked at her.
“Okay. Bye” I told her and left.
Alyssa’s Pov:
My eyes dropped when I saw Mico and Alexa together.
Oh my Mico! Why were they together?
I looked at her as she walked in and she was so happy.
Her two friends walked up to her immediately and she started whispering something to them which kind of made them bemused.
I looked away sadly and decided to go through my new phone since that was what most of the people in the class were doing.
I logged into the school group chat and… whaaat!
Mrs Tamara has been bailed out?
Holy christ!
how did this happen? Why would she bailed out?
Wasn’t she proven guilty?
I went through the comments and most of the students were saying she had a lot of connections and that was the reason she couldn’t stay long in jail.
It was probably the work of bribery.
But it so isn’t fair!
I kept going through the chat and also discovered she had also resigned from the post of the vice principal and the students were saying she resigned before she gets fired.
But why would she be allowed to just walk away?
It isn’t fair.
HOURS LATER
The school finally came to a close and everyone started going home.
Immediately I stepped out of the class, guess who I saw?
Mrs Tamara!
What the hell is she doing here?
All the students around all looked at her in surprise and mumbled to each other.
But she kept staring at me.
Then surprisingly, she walked up to me.
Oh, God!
What does she want?
I kept staring at her as she stood in front of me, not knowing what to say.
“Alyssa” she finally called, her voice coming out soft and pained.
“Mrs… Mrs Tamara?” I also called
I can’t believe she even have the boldness to talk to me again.
She sighed and looked at the floor.
“I’m so sorry Alyssa, for what happened. I know you must think I’m a horrible person, but believe me, I didn’t do it. I never poisoned the drink” she said, making me gobsmacked.
So she’s still denying it? What is she even thinking?
“I never had any bad intentions when I gave you that drink” she continued.
“I had really wanted to apologise to you and I sincerely don’t know how it got poisoned. But one thing is for sure; the poison wasn’t from me.
“I know I had treated you badly in the past and that was why I was advised to apologise to you with a drink and that was exactly what I did. But sadly enough, it made me look like a traitor.”
Wait; she was advised by someone?
Who was it?
Could it be possible…
I rose my eyes to look at her.
“Mrs Tamara” I called. “You… you were advised by someone?”
“Yes. The person had seen how badly I treated you and had advised me to apologise to you, giving you a drink; something you’d love.
So I bought the drink and did exactly as I was told, but it backfired on me”.
My heart was now racing fast.
Could it be possible…
“Who was it?” I asked curiously.
